PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Business Overview
Wikisoft Corp. has a vision to become one of the largest big data providers of information for businesses. Our portal, which initially launched in January 2018, is called wikiprofile.com and seeks to provide information on companies, business people and investors.
Our website portal is currently operational and was relaunched in its beta form on June 1, 2021. At this time, we are focused on applying product improvements from beta-user feedback, establishing a maintenance and support cadence and developing new features and functionalities. Product design and strategy decisions rest with our European team and are actioned by our software developers based in India.
In Q1 2022 we commenced development on a new platform named Wikifunding, a website aimed to accelerate matching startups with investors. With the February 28, 2022 acquisition of a majority interest in Etheralabs LLC, a New York City based venture lab and ecosystem that invests in, builds, and deploys disruptive technologies across the Blockchain space, Wikisoft´s vision is to combine the company’s massive amount of data on startups, funds and investors with Etheralabs’ disruptive Blockchain technology to accelerate finance partnerships between startups and investors.
Since June 1, 2021, testing of the beta site and a stabilization period was commenced. New features and improvements have been implemented, which include but are not limited to: Company reviews, improved sign-up process with an automatic look-up to make it easy to join the platform free of charge and advanced filtering options and search algorithms to give more relevant results. Since relaunch of site, we have had continuous growth of business profiles and the total number of profiles exceeds 175 million. The number include claimed and unclaimed company and people profiles. We expect to test, refine and roll out commercial products including Lead generation and Newswire in the FY 2022.
We expect that IT development will continue to utilize existing development capability. Additional developers will be hired if required for enhancements in crawling and frontend development of business logic and new commercial products. We also expect to commence marketing activities seeking to generate additional users and sign ups to our website platform. The main drivers will be email, search engine marketing and Search Engine Optimization.
We plan to generate revenues primarily from subscription on premium profiles on our websites. We also further plan to generate revenues by charging for access to certain information and premium features on our platform such as press wires and lead generation on prospects whether it is investors, suppliers, employees or future partners.
Our offices are located at 315 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94104, and our telephone number is 800-706-0806. Our website address is www.wikiprofile.com and wikisoft.com and our email address is investor@wikisoft.com. We also currently have websites at the following website addresses: Wikisoft.com, wikicareer.com, wikiinvestor.org, wikihired.com, wikiinvestment.com platform wikifunding.com, which redirect the user to our investor site wikisoft.com or our flagship website wikiprofile.com or upcoming platform wikifunding.com. Information contained on, or accessible through, all of the foregoing websites is not a part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Value Proposition
In today’s fast-moving business world of increasing globalization, Wikisoft leverages big data and associated insights from business datasets to improve performance.
In line with this new phase of globalization, Wikisoft believes that there is a growing demand for access to credible and reliable business data. Data is essential to creating the complete view of customers, prospects, investors, suppliers, and partners necessary to power the right decisions.
4 |
Our Vision and Strategy
Our vision is to create opportunity globally by collecting precise data, curating it, verifying it and putting it the hands of professionals and businesses as consumable business intelligence. We believe in the power of Wikisoft to collect massive amounts of data and deliver it to businesses curated, credible and reliable.
We have not yet generated any revenue from our platform. However, we believe that Wikisoft’s competitive strengths within this industry include but are not limited to:
● | Large global business database that can be used for Marketing & Sales; |
● | Highly scalable setup geared towards the future growth journey; |
● | Limited operational cost geared for growth; |
● | Data crawled, verified & updated daily; and |
● | Disruptive business model with low entrance barrier. |
We believe that trusted business information is more relevant than ever to provide a complete view of customers, prospects, investors, suppliers, and partners necessary to power the right decisions.
Our strategy is focused on key value propositions for both non-paying users and paying users. We plan to generate revenues primarily from subscription on premium profiles, news wires and providing leads on prospects whether it is on future investors, suppliers, employees or partners on our website platforms. We also further plan to generate revenues by charging users of our website platform for access to certain information and features on our platform, as described further below.
Our Website Portals and How we Plan to Generate Revenue
On our platforms users are able to freely search the portals and all content is collected and updated in real-time. Our platforms are developed on multiple databases that provide the foundation for our Wikiprofile and upcoming Wikifunding platforms. The scalable microservice architecture aims to remove the load pressure from a server-oriented focus and utilizes the resources on various browsers to deliver a user experience with modern well performing page speed due to architecture. The architecture is designed to make the web faster, more secure, and easier to scale. Using proprietary crawler technology, the databases automatically collect information on newly found entities, seeking to have an up to date database.
On the platform users are able to freely search the portal and most of our products at no cost. The plan is to generate consumer usage and with the belief that our upcoming planned premium business model and paid products drives the most value for business professionals and businesses.
We expect that the completed platforms will create value for our customers through three distinct planned product lines:
● Wiki Businesss Profiles
● Wiki Lead Generation
● Wiki Press Wire
5 |
Wiki Business Profiles
The Wiki Business Profiles include a free basic profile and allow business professionals and companies to highlight their online brand to create awareness and provide useful business information. We believe that the profile will also help companies and business professionals to build trust that will attract new customers better employees and for business professionals to get job proposals. We plan to have additional features like premium ranking, contact information, data insights to make research and to ensure the right decision making when choosing to invest in a company or choosing a new employer or supplier. We have not yet decided the fees we will charge for such additional features.
Wiki Lead Generation
Wiki Lead Generation is planned to include packages of leads to get essential business information to create the complete view of customers, prospects, investors, suppliers, and partners necessary to power the right decisions. The information in the lead packages will include the ability to communicate directly and get information such as name, location, industry, key employees, phone number, contact email, among others. The data may be imported into Excel or a CRM platform.
Wiki Press Wire.
Wiki Press Wire, an AmpliFi press release distribution service, available through the acquisition of Etheralabs is expected to be accessible to the more than 90 million businesses now held in the Wikisoft database. The press wire will be published and distributed into the most important news databases and news wires to reach journalists, investors and media influencers. Furthermore the news wire is expected to attain long-term visibility in search engines and include SEO benefits at a Cost-effective and affordable budget to small and medium sized companies.
Personnel
Our Chairman, Paul Quintal, is responsible for leading the Company’s Board, of which he is currently the sole member, and focusing on strategic matters, overseeing the Company’s business and setting high governance standards. Our Chief Executive Officer, Carsten Kjems Falk, is overall accountable for strategy and general daily management of operations. Our IT manager, Dinesh Shanmugam, is responsible for IT development and architecture in our Company. He is assisted by in-house and independent contractors for IT development.
Plan of Operations
For the 2022 fiscal year, we expect to require a minimum of $500,000 in operating funds. The source of such funds is anticipated to be from capital raised from third parties. The founder Rasmus Refer, who owns 3.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock as of the date of this report, pursuant to a Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) between him and the Company, dated December 30, 2020, has agreed to make unsecured loans and extensions of credit available to the Company of up to $1,000,000, as requested by the Company under the Credit Agreement, to implement the Company’s plan of operations if we are unable to raise sufficient funds from other sources.
If we are able to raise funds from third parties exceeding $500,000, we plan to accelerate our plan of operations as much as possible consistent with the amount of funds raised and the Company’s strategy. We would need approximately $3-5,000,000 representing the optimal level of funds to maximize our platform development efforts and provide the best opportunity to accelerate growth and roll out globally our business plan.

First Half of 2022
In the first half of 2022, we plan to further develop Wikiprofile.com and launch organization hierarchy to company profiles so users can see employees working in the company to complement our planned lead generation product. Furthermore, we anticipate implementing payment gateway to test the first commercial products for lead generation and presswire service. We expect to launch wikifunding.com and make backend integrations with Etheralabs´ services to utilize synergies from the acquisition. We anticipate hiring additional developers to accelerate development. We expect that the total cost for the foregoing activities will be an estimated amount of $200,000.
Second Half of 2022
In the second half of 2022 we plan to further develop Wikiprofile.com and Wikifunding. The main focus will be backend integrations with Etheralabs´ services to utilize synergies, data collection and refining our commercial products for lead generation and press wire service. We anticipate hiring a customer service manager to ensure optimization of products and to ensure customer satisfaction and get customer feedback to optimize commercial packages. We expect that the total cost for the foregoing activities will be an estimated amount of $300,000.
If we are able to raise funds from third parties exceeding $500,000, we plan to accelerate our plan of operations as much as possible consistent with the amount of funds raised and the Company’s strategy.
Achievement of the foregoing plan of operations will depend highly on our funds and the availability of those funds and accordingly there can be no assurance that we can implement the foregoing as planned or at all.

Etheralabs ecosystem allows development and finance partnerships throughout the blockchain world and beyond, and connects the blockchain community, investors and venture capital to relevant data intelligence and direct investment opportunities. Wikisoft intends to ensure that Etheralabs future product and technology roadmap supports wikiprofile.com and the upcoming Wikifunding platform aiming to accelerate matching investors to startups.
Intellectual Property
In Q1 2022 we commenced development on a new platform named Wikifunding, a website aimed to accelerate matching startups with investors. With the February 28, 2022 acquisition of a majority interest in Etheralabs LLC, a New York City based venture lab and ecosystem that invests in, builds, and deploys disruptive technologies across the Blockchain space, Wikisoft´s vision is to combine the company’s massive amount of data on startups, funds and investors with Etheralabs’ disruptive Blockchain technology to accelerate finance partnerships between startups and investors.
We expect that IT development will continue to utilize existing development capability. Additional developers will be hired if required for enhancements in crawling and frontend development of business logic and new commercial products. We also expect to commence marketing activities seeking to generate additional users and sign ups to our website platform. The main drivers will be email, search engine marketing and Search Engine Optimization.
While the Company uses reasonable efforts to protect its trade and business secrets, the Company cannot assure that its employees, consultants, contractors or advisors will not, unintentionally or willfully, disclose the Company's trade secrets to competitors or other third parties. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. Moreover, the Company's competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how. If the Company is unable to defend the Company's trade secrets from others use, or if the Company's competitors develop equivalent knowledge, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. Any infringement of the Company's proprietary rights could result in significant litigation costs, and any failure to adequately protect the Company's proprietary rights could result in the Company's competitors offering similar products, potentially resulting in loss of a competitive advantage and decreased revenue. Existing patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws afford only limited protection. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect the Company's proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Therefore, the Company may not be able to protect the Company's proprietary rights against unauthorized third-party use. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and is using the Company's trade secrets could be expensive and time consuming, and the outcome of such a claim is unpredictable. Litigation may be necessary in the future to protect the Company's trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. This litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could materially adversely affect the Company's future operating results.
Competition
The big data analysis, recruiting and data generation sector is highly competitive and continually evolving as participants strive to distinguish themselves within their markets and compete within the internet industry. We face intense competition from companies with much larger capital resources than us, and, as a result, we could struggle to attract users and gain market share. Many of our existing or future competitors have greater financial resources and greater brand name recognition than we do and, as a result, may be better positioned to adapt to changes in the industry or the economy as a whole. We will strive to advance our technology in each of these sectors ahead of our competitors to gain market share. We also face intense competition in attracting and retaining qualified employees. Our ability to continue to compete effectively will depend upon our ability to attract new employees, retain and motivate our existing employees and to compensate employees competitively. We face significant competition in several aspects of our business, and such competition might increase, particularly in the market for online professional networks and engagement of professionals.
9 |
The space for online professional networks is rapidly evolving. Other companies such as LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Twitter might be developing or could develop solutions that compete with ours. Further, some of these companies are partnering with third parties that could compete with ours. Additionally, we face competition from a number of companies outside the United States that provide online professional networking solutions. We also compete against smaller companies that focus on groups of professionals within a specific industry or vertical. Our competitors may announce new products, services or enhancements that better address changing industry standards or the needs of users, such as mobile access or different market focus. Any such increased competition could cause pricing pressure, loss of business or decreased user activity, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Internet search engines could also change their methodologies in ways that adversely affect our ability to optimize our page rankings within their search results.
With respect to our planned recruitment service through our website platform, we will compete with online recruiting companies, talent management companies and larger companies that are focusing on talent management and human resource services, job boards, traditional recruiting firms and companies that provide learning and development products and services. Additionally, other companies, including newcomers to the recruiting or learning and development industries, may partner with Internet companies to provide services that compete with our solutions, either on their own or as third-party applications. Therefore, we might not be able to compete successfully.
We believe that we have competitive strengths that position us favorably in our lines of business. However, our industry is evolving rapidly and is becoming increasingly competitive. Larger and more established companies may focus on professional networking and could directly compete with us. Smaller companies could also launch new products and services that we do not offer and that could gain market acceptance quickly.
Government Regulation
We are subject to a number of foreign and domestic laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business online, many of which are evolving and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. In the United States and abroad, laws and regulations relating to the liability of providers of online services for activities of their users and other third parties are being tested by a number of claims, including actions based on invasion of privacy and other torts, unfair competition, copyright and trademark infringement, and other theories based on the nature and content of the materials searched, or the content provided by users. Further some countries impose regulations regarding or require licenses to conduct various aspects of our business, including employee recruiting, and news related services. Any court ruling or other governmental action that imposes liability on providers of online services for the activities of their users or other third parties could harm our business. In addition, rising concern about the use of social networking technologies for illegal conduct, such as the unauthorized dissemination of national security information, money laundering or supporting terrorist activities, may in the future produce legislation or other governmental action that could require changes to our website platform, restrict or impose additional costs upon the conduct of our business or cause users to abandon material aspects of our platform.
In the area of information security and data protection, most states have enacted laws and regulations requiring notification to users when there is a security breach of personal data, or requiring the adoption of minimum information security standards that are often vaguely defined and difficult to practically implement. The costs of compliance with these laws and regulations may increase in the future as a result of amendments or changes in interpretation. Furthermore, any failure on our part to comply with these laws and regulations may subject us to significant liabilities.
We are also subject to federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy and protection of data. Our privacy policies describe our practices concerning the use, storage, transmission and disclosure of personal information, including visitor and user data. Any failure by us to comply with these terms or privacy related laws and regulations could result in proceedings against us by governmental authorities or others, which could harm our business. In addition, the interpretation of privacy and data protection laws and regulations and their application to online services are unclear,
10 |
evolving and in a state of flux. For example, in October 2015, the highest court in the European Union invalidated reliance on the US-EU Safe Harbor regime as one of the legally recognized mechanisms under which the personal data of European citizens could be transferred to the United States. We believe that our processing of European citizens’ personal data in the United States is authorized under other legally recognized mechanisms, but the validity of these other legal mechanisms is not certain and may change in light of changes in the political, legislative and legal environment in Europe. There is a risk that these laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied in conflicting ways from state to state, country to country, or region to region, and in a manner that is not consistent with our current data protection practices, or that new laws or regulations will be enacted. In addition, because our website platform is accessible worldwide, certain foreign governments may claim that we are required to comply with their laws and regulations, including with respect to the storage, use and disclosure of user information, even in jurisdictions where we have no local entity, employees, or infrastructure. Complying with these varying domestic and international requirements could cause us to incur additional costs and change our business practices. Further, any failure by us to adequately protect our users’ privacy and data could result in a loss of user confidence in our services and ultimately in a loss of users, which could adversely affect our business.

We have 3 full-time employees and 6 project by project independent contractors. We believe that we have good relations with our employees and contractors.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings that we believe to be material or which, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation if determined adversely to us.
Smaller Reporting Company
The Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. There are certain exemptions available to us as a smaller reporting company, including: (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act; (2) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (3) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years. As long as we maintain our status as a “smaller reporting company”, these exemptions will continue to be available to us.
Emerging Growth Company
As a public company with less than $1,070,000,000 in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies and can avail itself to various exemptions such as an exemption from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
In particular, as an emerging growth company we:
● | are not required to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; | |
● | are not required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”); | |
● | are not required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes); | |
● | are exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure; | |
● | may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”); and | |
● | are eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act. |
12 |
We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under §107 of the JOBS Act.
Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions were already available to us due to the fact that we also qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under SEC rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation and report regarding management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or Chief Executive Officer pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.
Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1,070,000,000 in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our Common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.0 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We would cease to be an emerging growth company on the last day of the fiscal year following the date of the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities under an effective registration statement or a fiscal year in which we have $1 billion in gross revenues. Further, under current SEC rules we will continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company” for so long as we have a public float (i.e., the market value of common equity held by non-affiliates) of less than $250 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.
ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS.
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, prospective investors should carefully consider the following risks before investing in our securities. If any of the following risks actually occur, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Note On Forward-Looking Statements” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In assessing the risks below, you should also refer to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the financial statements and the related notes, before deciding to purchase any of our securities.
Risk Related to Covid 19
Our business and future operations may be adversely affected by epidemics and pandemics, such as the COVID-19 outbreak.
We may face risks related to health epidemics and pandemics or other outbreaks of communicable diseases, which could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect general commercial activity and the economies and financial markets of the world as a whole. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19, which began in China, has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a “pandemic,” has spread across the globe, including the United States of America. A health epidemic or pandemic or other outbreak of communicable diseases, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, poses the risk that we, or potential business partners may be disrupted or prevented from conducting business activities for certain periods of time, the durations of which are uncertain, and may otherwise experience significant impairments of business activities, including due to, among other things, operational shutdowns or suspensions that may be requested or mandated by national or local governmental authorities or self-imposed by us, our users or other business partners. For example, due to COVID-19, we have scaled back our offices at 315 Montgomery Street San Francisco, CA 94104 to a virtual room. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that COVID-19 could have on our business, potential users or other potential business partners, the continued spread of COVID-19, the measures taken by the local and federal government, actions taken to protect employees, and the impact of the pandemic on various business activities could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Relating to Our Financial Condition
There are doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has generated very little revenue, which was all from a related party, and has incurred losses of $5,179,500 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $1,954,297 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $12,763,038 since inception and does not have a sufficient amount of cash required to pay all the costs associated with its operations. Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, the Company had working capital deficit of approximately $579,300. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources, such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations, or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.
The Company seeks to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the growth of revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however, the Company may not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. The Company cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue its operations. The Company’s ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company’s common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary, to raise additional funds, and may require that the Company relinquish valuable rights.
Because we have a limited operating history, you may not be able to accurately evaluate our operations.
We have had limited operations to date. Therefore, we have a limited operating history upon which to evaluate the merits of investing in our Company. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the operations that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to platform developments or the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to operate our business, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. We expect to continue to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if the effectiveness of our business plan is not forthcoming, we will not be able to continue business operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and it is doubtful that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
We are dependent on financing for the continuation of our operations.
Because we have generated limited revenues and currently operate at a loss, we are completely dependent on the continued availability of financing in order to continue our business operations. There can be no assurance that financing sufficient to enable us to continue our operations will be available to us in the future.
14 |
We will need additional funds to complete further development of our business plan to achieve a sustainable level where ongoing operations can be funded out of revenues. We anticipate that we must raise $500,000 for our operations for the 2022 fiscal year which is held in the credit line with Rasmus Refer, and $3-5,000,000 to fully implement our business plan to its fullest potential and achieve our growth plans. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.
Our failure to obtain future financing or to produce levels of revenue to meet our financial needs could result in our inability to continue as a going concern and, as a result, our investors could lose their entire investment.
Our operating results may fluctuate, which could have a negative impact on our ability to grow our user base, establish sustainable revenues and succeed overall.
Our results of operations may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control including but not limited to:
● | general economic conditions in the geographies and industries where we sell our services and conduct operations; legislative policies where we sell our services and conduct operations; |
● | the budgetary constraints of our users; seasonality; |
● | success of our strategic growth initiatives; |
● | success in the development, completion and commercialization of our platform; |
● | costs associated with the launching or integration of new or acquired businesses; timing of new product introductions by us, and our competitors; product and service mix, availability, utilization and pricing; |
● | the mix, by state and country, of our revenues, personnel and assets; movements in interest rates or tax rates; |
● | changes in, and application of, accounting rules; changes in the regulations applicable to us; and litigation matters. |
As a result of these factors, we may not succeed in our business and we could go out of business.
As a growing company, we have yet to achieve a profit and may not achieve a profit in the near future, if at all.
We have not yet produced any profit and may not in the near future, if at all. While we have generated limited revenue, all of it was related party and insignificant, we cannot be certain that we will be able to realize sufficient revenue to achieve profitability. Further, many of our competitors have a significantly larger industry presence and revenue stream but have yet to achieve profitability. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions, increasing revenue and keeping operating expenses below our revenue levels in order to achieve positive cash flows, none of which can be assured.
Our lack of adequate D&O insurance may also make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers.
In the future we may be subject to litigation, including potential class action and stockholder derivative actions. Risks associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. To date, we have not obtained directors and officers liability (“D&O”) insurance. Without adequate D&O insurance, the amounts we would pay to indemnify our officers and directors should they be subject to legal action based on their service to the Company could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Furthermore, our lack of adequate D&O insurance may make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers, which could adversely affect our business.
15 |
Risks Related to our Management and Control Persons
We are dependent on the continued services of our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and if we fail to keep them or fail to attract and retain qualified senior executive and key technical personnel, our business will not be able to expand.
We are dependent on the continued availability of Chairman Paul Quintal and CEO Carsten Kjems Falk, and the availability of new employees to implement our business plans. The market for skilled employees is highly competitive, especially for employees in our industry. Although we expect that our planned compensation programs will be intended to attract and retain the employees required for us to be successful, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of all our key employees or a sufficient number to execute our plans, nor can there be any assurance we will be able to continue to attract new employees as required.
Our personnel may voluntarily terminate their relationship with us at any time, and competition for qualified personnel is intense. The process of locating additional personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out our strategy could be lengthy, costly and disruptive.
If we lose the services of key personnel or fail to replace the services of key personnel who depart, we could experience a severe negative effect on our financial results and stock price. The loss of the services of any key personnel, marketing or other personnel or our failure to attract, integrate, motivate and retain additional key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating and financial results and stock price.
Our largest shareholder, Modern Art Foundation Inc., has substantial control over us and our policies and will be able to influence corporate matters.
Modern Art Foundation Inc. presently beneficially owns 74% of our common stock. It is able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors, the approval of significant corporate transactions, and any change of control of our company. It could prevent transactions, which would be in the best interests of the other shareholders. Modern Art Foundation Inc.’s interests may not necessarily be in the best interests of the shareholders in general.
The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under our Articles of Incorporation and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our Company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.
Our Articles of Incorporation contain provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our Company and shareholders. Our bylaws also require us to indemnify our officers and directors. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreements with our directors, officers and employees. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers and employees that we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resulting costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors, officers and employees for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors, officers and employees even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our Company and shareholders.
Our officers and directors have limited experience managing a public company.
Our officers and directors have limited experience managing a public company. Consequently, we may not be able to raise any funds or run our public company successfully. Our executive’s officer’s and director’s lack of experience of managing a public company could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock
We will likely conduct offerings of our equity securities in the future, in which case your proportionate interest may become diluted.
We will likely be required to conduct equity offerings in the future to finance our current projects or to finance subsequent projects that we decide to undertake. If our common stock shares are issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current shareholders. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock shares in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional common stock shares or securities convertible into shares of our common stock, your percentage interest in us could become diluted.
Our common stock price may be volatile and could fluctuate, which could result in substantial losses for investors.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol, “WSFT.” The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
● | government regulation of our Company and operations; |
● | the establishment of partnerships; |
● | intellectual property disputes; |
● | additions or departures of key personnel; |
● | sales of our common stock; |
● | our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services; |
● | our ability to execute our business plan, including developing our platform and achieving revenues; |
● | operating results below expectations; |
● | loss of any strategic relationship; |
● | industry developments; |
● | economic and other external factors; and |
● | period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. |
Because we have limited revenues to date, you should consider any one of these factors to be material. Our stock price may fluctuate widely as a result of any of the above.
In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
17 |
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could cause our stock price to fall.
If our existing stockholders, sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the contractual and securities law restrictions on resale of such common stock lapse, or after those shares become registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement, the trading price of our common stock could decline. As of February 28, 2022, a total of 98,288,209 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Of those shares, only 18,743,879 are currently without restriction, in the public market. Upon the effectiveness of any registration statement we could elect to file with respect to any outstanding shares of common stock, any sales of those shares or any perception in the market that such sales may occur could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.
Our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of our common stock pursuant ot the White Lion Purchase Agreement.
The sale of our common stock to White Lion in accordance with the Purchase Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put options, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to White Lion in order to exercise a put under the Purchase Agreement. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised through the offering.
The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.
The issuance of shares pursuant to the White Lion Purchase Agreement may have significant dilutive effect.
Depending on the number of shares we issue pursuant to the White Lion Purchase Agreement, it could have a significant dilutive effect upon our existing shareholders. Although the number of shares that we may issue pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will vary based on our stock price (the higher our stock price, the less shares we have to issue), there may be a potential dilutive effect to our shareholders, based on different potential future stock prices, if the full amount of the Purchase Agreement is realized. Dilution is based upon common stock put to White Lion and the stock price discounted to 85% of the lowest daily VWAP of our common stock during the five (5) business days beginning on the date on which we deliver a put notice to White Lion.
White Lion will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of our common stock which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Our common stock to be issued under the White Lion Purchase Agreement will be purchased at 85% of the lowest daily VWAP of our common stock during the five (5) business days beginning on the date on which we deliver a put notice to White Lion
White Lion has a financial incentive to sell our shares immediately upon receiving them to realize the profit between the discounted price and the market price. If White Lion sells our shares, the price of our common stock may decrease. If our stock price decreases, White Lion may have further incentive to sell such shares. Accordingly, the discounted sales price in the Purchase Agreement may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
18 |
We may not have access to the full amount under the Purchase Agreement.
Due to the floating offering price, we are not able to determine the exact number of shares that we will issue under the Purchase Agreement. The less our stock price, the less we will be able to draw down under the Purchase Agreement.
Our ability to draw down funds and sell shares under the Purchase Agreement with White Lion requires that the registration statement to be declared effective and continue to be effective. Additionally, we might have to increase the number of our authorized shares in order to issue the shares to White Lion. Increasing the number of our authorized shares will require board and stockholder approval. Accordingly, because our ability to draw down any amounts under the Purchase Agreement with White Lion is subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee that we will be able to draw down any portion or all of the proceeds of $20,000,000 under the investment with White Lion.
We may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our business.
The stock market in general, and the shares of early-stage companies, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the companies involved. If these fluctuations occur in the future, the market price of our shares could fall regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. If the market price or volume of our shares suffers extreme fluctuations, then we may become involved in this type of litigation, which would be expensive and divert management’s attention and resources from managing our business.
As a public company, we may also from time to time make forward-looking statements about future operating results and provide some financial guidance to the public markets. Projections may not be made timely or set at expected performance levels and could materially affect the price of our shares. Any failure to meet published forward-looking statements that adversely affect the stock price could result in losses to investors, stockholder lawsuits or other litigation, sanctions or restrictions issued by the SEC.
Our common stock is currently deemed a “penny stock,” which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.
Our common stock is currently deemed a “penny stock,” which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares. The SEC has adopted rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:
● | that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and | |
● | the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
● | obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and | |
● | make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
● | sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and | |
● | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Risks Relating to Our Company and Industry
We intend to generate a significant portion of our revenues from advertising, and reduced spending by advertisers, a loss of partners, or new and existing technologies that block ads online and/or affect our ability to customize ads could harm our business.
We expect the majority of our revenue in the future to come from advertising on our platform. We expect that any advertisers, digital publishers, and content providers that we work with in the future will be able to terminate their contracts with us at any time. Even assuming we gain such advertising partners in the future, such partners may not continue to do business with us if we do not create more value (such as increased numbers of users or customers, new sales leads, increased brand awareness, or more effective monetization) than their available alternatives. Changes to our advertising policies and data privacy practices, as well as changes to other companies’ advertising policies or practices may affect the advertising that we are able to provide, which could harm our business. In addition, technologies have been developed that make customized ads more difficult or that block the display of ads altogether and some providers of online services have integrated technologies that could potentially impair the availability and functionality of third-party digital advertising. Failing to provide superior value or deliver advertisements effectively and competitively could harm our reputation, financial condition, and operating results.
In addition, expenditures by advertisers tend to be cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions and budgeting and buying patterns. Adverse macroeconomic conditions can also have a material negative effect on the demand for advertising and cause our advertisers to reduce the amounts they spend on advertising, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.
In the event that we are unable to successfully compete in our industry, we may not be able to achieve profitable operations.
We face substantial competition in our industry. Due to our small size, it can be assumed that many of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other competitive resources. Accordingly, these competitors may have already begun to establish brand-recognition with consumers. We will attempt to compete against these competitors by developing features that exceed the features offered by competitors. However, we cannot assure you that our services will outperform competing services, or those competitors will not develop new products or services that exceed what we provide. In addition, we may face competition based on price. If our competitors lower the prices on their services, then it may not be possible for us to market our services at prices that are economically viable. Increased competition could result in:
● | Lower than projected revenues; |
● | Price reductions and lower profit margins; |
● | The inability to develop and maintain our platform with features and usability sought by potential users. |
Any one of these results could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our competitors may develop competing services that achieve greater market acceptance. It is also possible that new competitors may emerge and acquire significant market share. Our inability to achieve sales and revenue due to competition will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company has elected to avail itself to the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act, and further the JOBS Act will allow us to postpone the date by which we must comply with some of the laws and regulations intended to protect investors and to reduce the amount of information we provide in our reports filed with the SEC, which could undermine investor confidence in our Company.
For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” In particular, as an emerging growth company we:
● | are not required to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; | |
● | are not required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”); | |
● | are not required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes); | |
● | are exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure; | |
● | may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”); and | |
● | are eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act. |
Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1,070,000,000 in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our Common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.0 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We would cease to be an emerging growth company on the last day of the fiscal year following the date of the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities under an effective registration statement or a fiscal year in which we have $1 billion in gross revenues.
We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. Therefore, our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under §107 of the JOBS Act.
21 |
Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting so long as we qualify as an “emerging growth company,” which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as we qualify as an “emerging growth company,” we may elect not to provide you with certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of our executive officers, that we would otherwise have been required to provide in filings we make with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate our company. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions.
If the market for our platform does not experience significant growth or if we do not achieve broad acceptance, we will not be able to sustain or grow our revenues.
We plan to generate revenues primarily from subscription on premium profiles, lead generation and press wires on our website platform. We also further plan to generate revenues by charging users of our website platform for access to certain information and features on our platform. We cannot accurately predict, however, future growth rates or the size of the market for our platform. Demand for our platform may not occur as anticipated, or may decrease, either generally or in specific geographic markets, during particular time periods. The expansion of our services in the market depends on a number of factors, such as:
● | the cost, performance and appearance of our platform and similar platforms of our competitors; public perceptions regarding our platform and the effectiveness and value of our services; customer satisfaction with our services; and |
● | marketing efforts and publicity regarding the needs for our services and the public demand for our services. |
Even if our platform gains wide market acceptance, we may not adequately address market requirements and may not be able to expand market acceptance. If we do not achieve wide market acceptance, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth, we may not achieve revenues and results of operations would suffer.
If we are unable to successfully manage growth, our operations could be adversely affected.
Our progress is expected to require the full utilization of our management, financial and other resources, which to date has occurred with limited working capital. Our ability to manage growth effectively will depend on our ability to improve and expand operations, including our financial and management information systems, and to recruit, train and manage personnel. There can be no absolute assurance that management will be able to manage growth effectively.
If we do not properly manage the growth of our business, we may experience significant strains on our management and operations and disruptions in our business. Various risks arise when companies and industries grow quickly. If our business or industry grows too quickly, our ability to meet customer demand in a timely and efficient manner could be challenged. We may also experience development delays as we seek to meet increased demand for our services and platform. Our failure to properly manage the growth that we or our industry might experience could negatively impact our ability to execute on our operating plan and, accordingly, could have an adverse impact on our business, our cash flow and results of operations, and our reputation with our current or potential customers.
We may fail to successfully integrate acquisitions or otherwise be unable to benefit from pursuing acquisitions.
We believe there are meaningful opportunities to grow through acquisitions and joint ventures across all service categories and we expect to continue a strategy of selectively identifying and acquiring businesses with complementary services. We may be unable to identify, negotiate, and complete suitable acquisition opportunities on reasonable terms. There can be no assurance that any business acquired by us will be successfully integrated with our operations or prove to be profitable to us. We may incur future liabilities related to acquisitions. Should any of the following problems, or others, occur as a result of our acquisition strategy, the impact could be material:
22 |
● | difficulties integrating personnel from acquired entities and other corporate cultures into our business; difficulties integrating information systems; |
● | the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies; |
● | the assumption of liabilities and exposure to undisclosed or unknown liabilities of acquired companies; or the diversion of management attention from existing operations. |
Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to develop and commercialize our services and platform without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties.
Our commercial success will depend, in part, on operating our business without infringing the trademarks or proprietary rights of third parties. Third parties that believe we are infringing on their rights could bring actions against us claiming damages and seeking to enjoin the development, marketing and distribution of our services and platform. If we become involved in any litigation, it could consume a substantial portion of our resources, regardless of the outcome of the litigation. If any of these actions are successful, we could be required to pay damages and/or to obtain a license to continue to develop or market our products, in which case we may be required to pay substantial royalties. However, any such license may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.
The success of our business depends on our ability to maintain and enhance our reputation and brand.
We believe that our reputation in our industry is of significant importance to the success of our business. A well-recognized brand is critical to increasing our customer base and, in turn, increasing our revenue. Since the industry is highly competitive, our ability to remain competitive depends to a large extent on our ability to maintain and enhance our reputation and brand, which could be difficult and expensive. To maintain and enhance our reputation and brand, we need to successfully manage many aspects of our business, such as cost-effective marketing campaigns to increase brand recognition and awareness in a highly competitive market. We cannot assure you, however, that these activities will be successful and achieve the brand promotion goals we expect. If we fail to maintain and enhance our reputation and brand, or if we incur excessive expenses in our efforts to do so, our business, financial conditions and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Reliance on information technology means a significant disruption could affect our communications and operations.
We increasingly rely on information technology systems for our internal communications, controls, reporting and relations with users and information technology is becoming a significantly important tool for our business. Our marketing and distribution strategy are dependent upon our ability to closely monitor consumer and market trends on a highly specified level, for which we are reliant on our highly sophisticated data tracking systems, which are susceptible to disruption or failure. In addition, our reliance on information technology exposes us to cyber-security risks like Malware, DDOS, MITM attacks etc., which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete. Security and privacy breaches may expose us to liability and cause us to lose customers or may disrupt our relationships. The failure of our information systems to function as intended, or the penetration by outside parties’ intent on disrupting business processes, could result in significant costs, loss of revenue, assets or personal or other sensitive data and reputational harm.
Failure or poor performance of third-party software, infrastructure or systems on which we rely could adversely affect our business.
We depend on third parties to provide and maintain certain infrastructure that is critical to our business. For example, we rely on third parties to provide software, data center services and dedicated fiber optic, microwave, wireline and wireless communication infrastructure. This infrastructure may malfunction or fail due to events outside of our control, which could disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any failure to maintain and renew our relationships with these third parties on commercially favorable terms, or to enter into similar relationships in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
23 |
We also rely on certain third-party software, third-party computer systems and third-party service providers, including internet service providers, communications facilities and other facilities. Any interruption in these third-party services or software, deterioration in their performance, or other improper operation could interfere with the operation of our platform and would be disruptive to our business and may cause reputational harm that ultimately harms our operating results. If our arrangements with any third party are terminated, we may not be able to find an alternative source of software or systems support on a timely basis or on commercially reasonable terms. This could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Third parties may claim that we infringe their intellectual property and trademark rights.
Competitors in our markets may claim that we infringe their proprietary rights. Such claims, whether or not meritorious, may result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, injunctions against us or the payment of damages.
Our failure to adequately maintain and protect personal information of our customers or our employees in compliance with evolving legal requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Through operating our platform, we will collect, use, store, disclose, or transfer (collectively, “process”) personal information, including from employees, customers, and in connection with businesses that we include on our platform. A wide variety of local and international laws and regulations apply to the processing of personal information. Data protection and privacy laws and regulations are evolving and being tested in courts and may result in increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions.
A variety of data protection legislation apply in the United States at both the federal and state level, including new laws that may impact our operations. For example, in June 2018, the State of California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), which went into effect on January 1, 2020, with enforcement by the state attorney general beginning July 1, 2020. The CCPA defines “personal information” in a broad manner and generally requires companies that process personal information of California residents to make new disclosures about their data collection, use, and sharing practices, allows consumers to opt-out of certain data sharing with third parties or sale of personal information, and provides a new cause of action for data breaches. Moreover, a new privacy law, the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) was recently certified by the California Secretary of State to appear on the ballot for the upcoming election on November 3, 2020. If this initiative is approved by California voters, the CPRA would significantly modify the CCPA, potentially resulting in further uncertainty and requiring us to incur additional expenditures to comply. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission, and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws to impose standards for the online collection, use, dissemination, and security of data. The burdens imposed by the CCPA and other similar laws that have been or may be enacted at the federal and state level may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and to incur substantial expenditures in order to comply.
Our actual or alleged failure to comply with any applicable laws and regulations or privacy-related contractual obligations, or to protect such data that we process, could result in litigation, regulatory investigations, and enforcement actions against us, including fines, orders, public censure, claims for damages by employees, customers, and other affected individuals, public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups, damage to our reputation and competitive position, and loss of goodwill (both in relation to existing customers and prospective customers), any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Evolving and changing definitions of personal information, personal data, and similar concepts within the United States, Canada, and elsewhere, especially relating to classification of IP addresses, device identifiers, location data, household data, and other information we may collect, may limit or inhibit our ability to operate or expand our business, including limiting strategic partnerships that may involve the sharing of data. Additionally, if third parties that we work with, such as vendors or developers, violate applicable laws or our policies, such violations may also place personal information at risk and have an adverse effect on our business. Even the perception of privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may harm our reputation, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and investigations, and inhibit adoption of our platform by existing and potential customers.
24 |
A variety of new and existing laws and/or interpretations could harm our business.
We are subject to numerous U.S. and foreign laws and regulations covering a wide variety of subject matters. New laws and regulations (or new interpretations or applications of existing laws and regulations in a manner inconsistent with our practices) may make our platform and its services less useful, limit our ability to pursue certain business models or offer certain products and services, require us to incur substantial costs, expose us to unanticipated civil or criminal liability, or cause us to change our business practices. These laws and regulations are evolving and involve matters central to our business, including, among others:
● | Privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 that came into effect in January of 2020, which gives new data privacy rights to California residents, and SB-327 in California, which regulates the security of data in connection with internet connected devices. |
● | Data protection laws passed by many states within the U.S. and by certain countries regarding notification to data subjects and/or regulators when there is a security breach of personal data. |
● | Copyright laws, such as the EU Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market (EUCD) of April 17, 2019, which increases the liability of content-sharing services with respect to content uploaded by their users. It has also created a new property right in news publications that will limit the ability of some online services to interact with or present such content. Each EU Member State must implement the EUCD by June 7, 2021. In addition, there are new constraining licensing regimes that limit our ability to operate with respect to copyright protected works. |
● | Data localization laws, which generally mandate that certain types of data collected in a particular country be stored and/or processed within that country. |
● | Various U.S. and international laws that govern the distribution of certain materials to children and regulate the ability of online services to collect information from minors. |
The introduction of new businesses, products, services, and technologies, our activities in certain jurisdictions, or other actions we take may subject us to additional laws and regulations. The costs of compliance with these laws and regulations are high and are likely to increase in the future. Any failure on our part to comply with laws and regulations can result in negative publicity and diversion of management time and effort and may subject us to significant liabilities and other penalties.
We could be subject to litigation, allegations or other legal claims.
Our assets or our business activities may be subject to disputes that may result in litigation or other legal claims. We may be subject to allegations through press, social media, the courts or other mediums that may or may not be founded. We may be required to respond to or defend against these claims and/or allegations, which will divert resources away from our principal business. There can be no assurance that our defense of such claims and/or allegations would be successful, and we may be required to make material settlements. This could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and corporate reputation.
25 |
The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under our Articles of Incorporation and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our Company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.
Our Articles of Incorporation contain provisions that eliminate the liability of our directors for monetary damages to our Company and shareholders. Our bylaws also require us to indemnify our officers and directors. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreements with our directors, officers and employees. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers and employees that we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resulting costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors, officers and employees for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors, officers and employees even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our Company and shareholders.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
We own no real property. We rent space at 315 Montgomery Street San Francisco, CA 94104.

We can terminate the lease at this location at any time by giving one months’ notice and the current rent at this location is approximately $175 per month.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We may from time to time be involved in various claims and legal proceedings of a nature we believe are normal and incidental to our business. These matters may include product liability, intellectual property, employment, personal injury cause by our employees, and other general claims. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Management Comments on Financial Results & Operations in 2020
The financial results are in line with the management’s expectations. The Company incurred a net loss of $5,179,500 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of $1,947,223 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The main reason for the net loss in operating expenses was primarily due to stock-based compensation of $4,720,214.
We anticipate our underlying operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation will increase as we undertake our plan of operations. The increase will be attributable to: (i) administrative and operating costs associated with our business activities and (ii) the professional fees associated with our increasing reporting obligations.
Results of Operation for Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
Revenues
We earned no revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 or 2020. We hope to generate revenues in 2022, but we will need financing to maximize our earning potential.
29 |
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased from $1,947,223 for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $5,175,042 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The main reason for the increase in operating expenses for 2021 was considerably more spent on professional fees over the same periods in 2020. We issued stock for services in the amount of $4,720,214, and that resulted in the bulk of the increased operating expenses. Also, general and administrative expenses increased for 2021 over 2020.
We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations. The increase will be attributable to administrative and operating costs associated with our business activities and the professional fees associated with our reporting obligations.
Other Expenses
We incurred insignificant amounts as interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss of $5,179,500 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of $1,954,297 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2021, we had total current assets of $15,837 and total current liabilities of $595,137. We had working capital deficit of $579,300 as of December 31, 2021.
Net cash used in operating activities was $409,204 for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared with $173,141 in cash for the same period ended 2020. Our net losses were the main contributing factor to our negative operating cash flows offset mainly by stock based compensation.
Financing activities provided $405,299 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared with $61,100 in cash provided for the same period ended 2020. The majority of cash provided in 2021 was from a related party line of credit. The majority of cash provided in 2020 was proceeds from related party advances.
Going Concern
We have evaluated all relevant conditions and events that are reasonably known or reasonably knowable, in the aggregate, as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued and determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate revenues and raise capital. The Company has not generated sufficient revenues from product sales to provide sufficient cash flows to enable the Company to finance its operations internally. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $15,659 cash on hand. At December 31, 2021 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $12,763,038. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $5,179,500, and net cash used in operations of $409,205. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of filing.
Over the next twelve months management plans to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of cash flow deficits; however, no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue existence.
30 |
Future Financings.
Because of our limited operating history, it is difficult to predict our capital needs on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. We will have no capital available to us if we are unable to raise money or find alternate forms of financing, which we do not have in place at this time other than the “Credit Agreement” with Rasmus Refer. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement dated December 30, 2020, Mr. Refer has agreed to make unsecured loans and extensions of credit available to the Company of up to $1,000,000, as requested by the Company under the Credit Agreement, to implement the Company’s plan of operations if we are unable to raise sufficient funds from other sources. The funds extended to the Company under the Credit Agreement will have a maturity date of 24 months and will carry interest at 0.01% per annum. The Company may prepay the funds at any time without penalty. To date $300,000 has been provided to the Company under the Credit Agreement.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise this money, our growth plans will be frustrated. There can be no assurance that our attempts to raise funds will be successful. You may lose your entire investment.
Critical Accounting Policies.
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed Note 2 of our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our CEO who acts as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to material weaknesses, which we identified, in our report on internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management, including our CEO who acts as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. Our management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting was based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which we identified in our internal control over financial reporting:
(1) | the lack of multiples levels of management review on complex accounting and financial reporting issues, and business transactions; and | |
(2) | a lack of adequate segregation of duties and necessary corporate accounting resources in our financial reporting process and accounting function as a result of our limited financial resources to support hiring of personnel and implementation of accounting systems. |
We expect to be materially dependent upon third parties to provide us with accounting consulting services related to accounting services for the foreseeable future. We believe this will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses related to our accounting discussed above. Until such time as we have a chief financial officer with the requisite expertise in U.S. GAAP, there are no assurances that the material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures will not result in errors in our consolidated financial statements which could lead to a restatement of those financial statements.
A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
32 |
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our CEO who acts as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additional controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to SEC rules that permit us to provide only management’s report on internal control over financial reporting in this annual report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Director Independence
The Board of Directors is currently composed of one member. Mr. Quintal does not qualify as independent in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the Director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of the Company’s employees and that neither the Director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us.
Committees
We do not have a standing nominating, compensation or audit committee. Rather, our Board of Directors performs the functions of these committees. We do not believe it is necessary for our Board of Directors to appoint such committees because the volume of matters that come before our Board of Directors for consideration permits the directors to give sufficient time and attention to such matters to be involved in all decision making. Additionally, because our Common Stock is not listed for trading or quotation on a national securities exchange, we are not required to have such committees.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics which applies to our executive officers, directors and employees, a copy of our code of ethics is filed as Exhibit 14.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Indemnification
Under our bylaws, every person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada from time to time against all expenses, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him or her in connection therewith. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right, which may be enforced in any manner desired by such person. The expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding must be paid by us as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by us. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such directors, officers, or representatives may have or hereafter acquire, and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, provision of law, or otherwise.
Without limiting the application of the foregoing, our board of directors may adopt bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification, to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, and may cause us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person. The indemnification provided shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
41 |
We have not entered into any agreements with our directors and executive officers that require us to indemnify these persons against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including expenses of a derivative action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that the person is or was our director or officer or any of our affiliated enterprises.

Audit-related Fees
This category consists of assurance and related services by the independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported above under “Audit Fees”.
Tax Fees
As our independent registered public accountants did not provide any services to us for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, no tax fees were billed or paid during those fiscal years.
All Other Fees
Our independent registered public accountants did not provide any products and services not disclosed in the table above during the 2021 and 2020 fiscal years. As a result, there were no other fees billed or paid during those fiscal years.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Our board of directors, which acts as our audit committee, pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by our board of directors before the respective services were rendered.
Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent registered public accounting firm and believe that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining their respective independence.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of WikiSoft Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WikiSoft Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, 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 each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s lack of revenues and cumulative net losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management’s plans are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis of 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 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 fraud or error. 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 audit, 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Organization
WikiSoft Corp. (“we”, “our”, the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Nevada in May 1998 as Sensor Technologies Inc.
Nature of operations
The Company is a wiki portal for businesses. Wikisoft Corp. has a vision to become one of the largest big data providers of information for businesses. Our portal, relaunched in June 2021, is called wikiprofile.com and seeks to provide information on companies, business people and investors.

We also further plan to generate revenues by charging for access to certain information and premium features on our platform such as press wires and lead generation on prospects whether it is investors, suppliers, employees or future partners.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. – On March 31, 2019, the Company, a Nevada corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with WikiSoft DE, a Delaware corporation, and WikiSoft Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation. WikiSoft Acquisition, Inc. merged with and into WikiSoft DE (the “Merger”) on April 30, 2019, with the filing of Articles of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition of Contract based revenue, allowances for uncollectible accounts, and the valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
F-6 |
• | Level 1 |
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
|
• | Level 2 |
Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
|
• | Level 3 | Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances. |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606. The accounting policy on revenue recognition is provided below.
Service Contracts
The company recognizes service contract revenue over time, as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Service contracts are generally accounted for as a single unit of account (a single performance obligation) and are not segmented between types of services. The company recognizes revenue based primarily on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost (an input method). The input method is the most faithful depiction of the company’s performance because it directly measures the value of the services transferred to the customer. Changes to total estimated contract cost or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined as assessed at the contract level. Pre-contract costs are expensed as incurred unless they are expected to be recovered from the client. Project mobilization costs are generally charged to project costs as incurred when they are an integrated part of the performance obligation being transferred to the client. Customer payments on service contracts are typically due in advance, depending on the contract.
For service contracts in which the company has the right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the company’s performance completed to date, revenue is recognized when services are performed and contractually billable. Service contracts that include multiple performance obligations are segmented between types of services. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation using an estimate of the stand-alone selling price of each distinct service in the contract. Revenue recognized on service contracts that have not been billed to clients is classified as a current asset under contract assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amounts billed to clients in excess of revenue recognized on service contracts to date are classified as a current liability under contract liabilities. Customer payments on service contracts are typically due within 30 days of billing, depending on the contract.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of six months or less to be cash equivalents. There was $15,659 and $19,564 in cash and no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The Company follows the guidelines in FASB Codification Topic ASC 718-10 “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50 under which the awards are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments, and are recognized as expense over the service period.
F-7 |
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260-10 “Earnings Per Share,” which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounts Standard Codification (ASC) ASC 360-10, "Property, Plant and Equipment," the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB Codification Topic ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes”, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company has evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none of them are expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
Management evaluated all relevant conditions and events that are reasonably known or reasonably knowable, in the aggregate, as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued and determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate revenues and raise capital. The Company has not generated sufficient revenues from product sales to provide sufficient cash flows to enable the Company to finance its operations internally. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $15,659 cash on hand. At December 31, 2021, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $12,763,038. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $5,179,500, and net cash used in operations of $409,205. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of filing.
Over the next twelve months management plans to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of cash flow deficits; however, no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue existence.
