Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2022

Note 1 - Business Organization and Nature of Operations

Thumzup Media Corporation (“Thumzup” or “Company”) was incorporated October 27, 2020, under the laws of the State of Nevada, and its headquarters is located in Carson City, Nevada. The Company is a pre-revenue software company dedicated to building an influencer community around its mobile app (“App”). Once fully developed, the App will generate scalable word-of-mouth product posts and recommendations for advertiser on social media and is designed to connect advertisers with individuals who are willing to promote their products online.

The Thumzup App will enable users to select a brand they want to post about on social media. Once the Thumzup user selects the brand and takes a photo (using the App), the App will post the photo and a caption to the user’s social media accounts. For the advertiser, the Thumzup system enables brands to get real people to promote their products to their friends, rather than displaying banner ads that people are tuning out.

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, and as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. 

Use of Estimates

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reported period. These assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on the financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The Company’s management periodically reviews estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $325,276 and $424,445, respectively.

Prepaid Expenses

The Company had no prepaid expenses at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment, which consists of computer equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are included in general and administrative expenses on our statement of operations. However, expenditures for additions or improvements that significantly extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized in the period incurred. At the time assets are sold or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts and the related gains or losses are reflected in the statements of operations in gains from sales of property and equipment, net.

The estimated useful life for computer equipment is three years. We periodically evaluate the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives assigned to computer equipment. Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $540 and $116, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development expenses primarily consist of outside contractor costs related to engineering, design and development of a working prototype Thumzup^TM App. Generally accepted accounting principles define research costs as a planned search or investigation to discover new knowledge with the hope that the results will eventually be useful in creating new products or services or significant improvements in existing products or services. Capitalization of research and development costs for software begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility, which is generally the completion of a working prototype that has been certified as having no critical bugs and is a release candidate. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, research and development costs for software were expensed when incurred as they related to the initial product development stage for our Thumzup^TM App.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability approach to measure deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences existing at each balance sheet date using currently enacted tax rates in accordance with ASC 740. ASC 740 considers the differences between financial statement treatment and tax treatment of certain transactions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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 of a change in tax rate is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date of that rate.

The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,087,000 as of March 31, 2022, and at the current corporate tax rate of 21% results in an estimated net operating loss (“NOL”) of $228,000. The Company has no income tax effect due to the recognition of a full valuation allowance on the expected tax benefits of future loss carry forwards based on uncertainty surrounding the realization of such tax assets.

Note 3 – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company was only recently formed, has not yet established profitable operations and has incurred losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise additional funds not provided by operations through loans or through sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

The Company is a beginning revenue, software and services company that relies on short-term debt and equity funding for its operations. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $325,276 and $424,445, respectively, and the Company used $222,969 to fund operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company may need to raise additional funding and manage expenses in order to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 - Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes

On November 19, 2020, the Company issued $215,000 in Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (“Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes mature on November 21, 2022 and accrue interest at eight (8%) per annum. Accrued interest maybe paid quarterly or converted in to shares of common stock.

The Company’s borrowings are subject to a Note Purchase and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) which, among other things, contains certain covenants. In accordance with the Agreement, the Company secures the Senior Notes with all of the Company’s intellectual property now or hereafter owned or created by or on behalf of the Company’s founding shareholders to operate the Company’s business. The Company’s founding shareholders stock (“Founders’ Stock”) is pledged as additional collateral to secure the terms and covenants of the Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. The Founders’ Stock is held in escrow with legal counsel selected by the Senior Note holders (“Holders”).

The founding shareholders (“Founders”) have agreed to take no salaries, consulting fees, loans or payment of any kind from the Company until after full satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (1) registration of the shares underlying the Senior Notes with the SEC” on Form S-1; (2) obtaining a trading symbol from FINRA or its successor; (3) listing of the Company’s shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) for trading on OTCQB or a national securities exchange such as Nasdaq; (4) completing an equity raise of at least $3 million at a pre-money valuation for the Company of at least $10 million; and (5) timely having made all periodic and other filings required of a “reporting” company with the SEC for a period of not less than 12 months.

The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Senior Notes, after providing 30 days prior written notice, at the Company’s option, pro rata to each Holder, by paying one hundred thirty percent (130%) of (1) the then outstanding principal amount plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest on that principal amount. If pre-payment is offered, the Holders may elect to convert into shares of Common Stock instead of accepting pre-payment. In the event the Company repays the Senior Notes, a Holder, shall have a right, for a period of 12 months from such repayment date, to acquire up to that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company that results from dividing the principal amount of prepaid Note by $0.11 per share, which will be adjusted for any stock splits and recapitalizations.

At any time while the Senior Notes are outstanding, and at the sole option of a Holder, the Senior Notes may be converted into shares of the Common Stock, at $0.001 par value per share of the Company, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified.

A Holder is not entitled to convert any portion of the Senior Note in excess of that portion of the Senior Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates and (2) the number of conversion shares issuable upon the conversion would result in beneficial ownership by a Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.50% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The per share conversion price into which principal and interest outstanding will be convertible into shares of Common Stock hereunder shall be equal to $0.11 cents per share. The Agreement contains a protection feature (commonly referred to as a “Down Round”); whereupon any issuance by the Company of Common Stock, or a security that is convertible into Common Stock, at a price lower than a net receipt to the Company of $0.11 per share, then the conversion price will be adjusted to equal the lower price per share. The Company has accounted for the Down Round as a contingent beneficial feature and will record a benefit to a Holder, if and, when a conversion price adjustment occurs.

Note 5 – Shareholders’ Equity

The Company is authorized to issue 100 million shares of common stock $0.001 per share. As March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020, the Company had 6,120,170 and 6,037,836 shares issued and outstanding. The shares were issued as follows: 3,500,000 shares to Robert Steele (Founder and CEO) and 1,500,000 shares to Daniel Lupinelli (Founder). The Founders’ common stock is pledged as collateral on the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (See Note 4). The Founders have agreed to take no salaries, consulting fees, loans or payment of any kind from the Company until after full satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (i) registration of the shares underlying the senior secured convertible promissory notes with the United States Securities Commission (“SEC”) on Form S-1; (ii) obtaining a trading symbol from FINRA or its successor,; (iii) listing of the Company’s shares of common stock for trading on OTCQB or a national securities exchange such as Nasdaq; (iv) completing an equity raise of at least $3 million at a pre-money valuation for the Company of at least $10 million; and (v) timely having made all periodic and other filings required of a “reporting” company with the SEC for a period of not less than 12 months.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company sold 82,333 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share (par value $0.001) to accredited investors within the meaning of the federal securities laws in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued 30,000 shares of common stock to its legal counsel at par value per share of $0.001, pursuant to an engagement letter entered into in December 2020, and sold 463,500 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share (par value $0.001 per share) to accredited investors within the meaning of the federal securities laws in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Note 6 – Contingencies

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a new coronavirus a pandemic. First identified in late 2019 and now known as COVID-19, the outbreak has impacted hundreds of thousands of individuals worldwide. In response, many countries have implemented measures to combat the outbreak that have impacted global business operations. As of the date of issuance of the financial statements, the Company’s operations have not been significantly impacted, but the Company continues to monitor the situation. No impairments were recorded as of the balance sheet date; however, due to significant uncertainty surrounding the situation, management's judgment regarding this could change in the future. In addition, while the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition could be negatively impacted, the extent of the impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Note 7 – Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date which the financial statements were available to be issued and determined there are no other events to disclose.

Sections of this Form 10-Q, including the Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation, contain “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

You can generally identify a forward-looking statement by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “plans,” “goal,” “potential,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intent,” “project,” and similar words and variations thereof.

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.

Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance.

Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the expansion of product offerings geographically or through new marketing applications, the timing and cost of planned capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Forward-looking statements also involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. In addition, even if our actual results are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on , those results may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we are under no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise. Investors, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider the above-mentioned factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results or performance.
