ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1. Business.
Background
Cruzani, Inc., a Wyoming corporation that was incorporated on February 5, 1999 (“Cruzani”), was previously a franchise development company that built and represented popular franchise concepts, and other related businesses, throughout the United States as well as in international markets.
On April 29, 2022, Cruzani entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with bowmo Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Cruzani (“Merger Sub”), bowmo, Inc., a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on May 22, 2015 (“Target”), and Michael E. Lakshin on behalf of Target’s stockholders. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on May 4, 2022, Merger Sub was merged with and into Target with Target surviving the merger as the wholly owned subsidiary of Cruzani (the “Merger”). As consideration for the Merger, Cruzani received all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Target, and the legacy stockholders of Target received shares of Series G preferred stock of Cruzani having voting rights equivalent to 78% of the total voting rights of all holders of capital stock of Cruzani.
On June 16, 2022, Cruzani filed articles of amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Wyoming to change its name to “bowmo, Inc.”
Recent Event
On March 22, 2024, we entered into a Plan and Agreement of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with OWNverse, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OWNverse”), pursuant to which OWNverse would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, our company would deliver an aggregate of 2,000 shares of to-be-designated Series I Preferred Stock of the Company, an aggregate of $2,000,000 in principal amount promissory notes that are to be due and payable two years from their issuance dates and promissory notes with an aggregate of up to $270,000 that are to be due and payable six months from their issuance dates. The consummation of the Merger Agreement has not been completed, due to our company’s lack of capital. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital to do so. However, the owners of OWNverse remain, as of the date of this Annual Report, committed to completing the Merger.
Overview
Prior to the Merger, Cruzani was reassessing its business model and strategic goals. Upon completion of the Merger, however, we have decided to pursue our Vertically Integrated Business Model (“VIBM”) which is capable of providing services and added value to all segments of the human resources technology (“HR-Tech”) market globally. Our goal is to constantly improve our HR-Tech platform to address present and future market needs by offering a unique combination of proprietary artificial intelligence (“AI”) based technology with a do-it-yourself sourcing experience able to match candidates to jobs without having to use keyword searches or Boolean strings.
Our AI-driven platform will automate the end-to-end hiring processes with its AI-based matching engine while providing just-in-time content, resources, and tools, such as video interviewing and cultural and technical assessments so that hiring organizations can vet their candidates. We refer to this as Software as a Service (“SaaS”).
We expect to complete our VIBM by our Recruiting as a Service (“RaaS”) which allows clients to outsource the management of the recruiting process (“RPO”). Our RaaS offering will complement our improved HR-Tech platform by offering our clients with a choice of high-touch and high-tech services strategically geared to market needs and objectives.
In addition, since our acquisition of Interview Mastery® from Michael R. Neece, our current Chief Product Officer, our VIBM offers unique added value via e-learning programs by Interview Mastery® and Selecting Excellence®, designed by Michael R. Neece, one of the pioneers in the human resources e-learning field. Both programs have been continually improving in order to solve the challenges of today’s job-market realities for more than 20 years.
Our clients receive assistance across all recruiting functions, such as job-description development, branded career-page management, pre-employment and cultural assessments, and a video interview platform-all managed by a team of experienced recruiters.
With our HR-Tech platform as a foundation for our VIBM-performing matching and sourcing at the core-we are reshaping how businesses find talent and provide a quality on-demand experience.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
The statements contained in the following MD&A and elsewhere throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including any documents incorporated by reference, that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “project,” “intend” and similar words or expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s beliefs, objectives, and expectations as of the date hereof, are based on the best judgement of our management. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements, including, without limitation, the following: economic, social and political conditions, global economic downturns resulting from extraordinary events and other securities industry risks; interest rate risks; liquidity risks; credit risk with clients and counterparties; risk of liability for errors in clearing functions; systemic risk; systems failures, delays and capacity constraints; network security risks; competition; reliance on external service providers; new laws and regulations affecting our business; net capital requirements; extensive regulation, regulatory uncertainties and legal matters; failure to maintain relationships with employees, customers, business partners or governmental entities; the inability to achieve synergies or to implement integration plans and other consequences associated with risks and uncertainties detailed in our filings with the SEC, including our most recent filings on Forms 10-K and 10-Q.
We caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and new factors may emerge, or changes to the foregoing factors may occur, that could impact our business. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by the federal securities laws.
Certain information contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is subject to the safe harbor created by that act. The safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act will not apply to certain “forward looking statements” because we issued “penny stock” (as defined in Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 3(a)(51-1) under the Exchange Act) during the three year period preceding the date(s) on which those forward looking statements were first made, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided by rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this Report or which are otherwise made by or on our behalf. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “explore,” “consider,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” “plan,” or “propose” or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with:
● Our ability to raise capital necessary to sustain our anticipated operations and implement our business plan,
● Our ability to implement our business plan,
● Our ability to generate sufficient cash to survive,
● The degree and nature of our competition,
● The lack of diversification of our business plan,
● The general volatility of the capital markets and the establishment of a market for our shares, and
● Disruption in the economic and financial conditions primarily from the impact of past terrorist attacks in the United States, threats of future attacks, police and military activities overseas and other disruptive worldwide political and economic events and environmental weather conditions.
We are also subject to other risks detailed from time to time in our other filings with SEC and elsewhere in this Annual Report. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, our company would deliver an aggregate of 2,000 shares of to-be-designated Series I Preferred Stock of the Company, an aggregate of $2,000,000 in principal amount promissory notes that are to be due and payable two years from their issuance dates and promissory notes with an aggregate of up to $270,000 that are to be due and payable six months from their issuance dates.

However, the owners of OWNverse remain, as of the date of this Annual Report, committed to completing the Merger.
2022 Acquisition - Interview Mastery
Effective December 16, 2022, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Interview Mastery (“Interview Mastery”), by and through Michael R. Neece (“Neece”) and Caseridus, Inc. Under the terms of the APA, the Company is to pay the purchase price through the issuance of 22,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in two tranches: (i) 11,000,000 shares of Company common stock to the stockholders of Interview Mastery that vest immediately for all of the business assets of Interview Mastery, valued at $200,000 based on the acquisition date share price; and (ii) 11,000,000 shares of Company common stock issued in consideration of Neece’s employment with the Company which shall vest over a four (4) year period during which 25% of the shares will vest on the first-year anniversary of Neece’s employment, followed by vesting in increments of 6.25% of the shares per quarter (3-month period) thereafter until the full amount is vested and all of which shall be contingent upon Neece’s continual employment with the Company. As of the date of this Annual Report, none of the shares issuable in connection with the APA has been issued, and as such, has been recorded as a liability in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. In connection with the APA, the Company is to create a new board seat and offer such seat to Neece who will be formally invited to join the Company’s Board of Directors. As of the date of this Annual Report, none of these actions has been taken by the Company.
This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the acquisition method under the guidance in ASC 805-10 and 805-20. This business combination was accounted for as a related party acquisition, as Neece is the chief product officer of the Company Accordingly, the total purchase consideration was allocated to net acquired based on their respective historical costs. The assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, if any, in a business purchase combination be recognized at their historical costs as of the acquisition date.
The final allocation of the purchase price in connection with the Interview Mastery acquisition was calculated as follows:
Description Fair Value Weighted
Average
Useful Life
(Years)
Cash $ 1,633
Prepaid expenses
Loss on acquisition - related party 197,370
No acquisition costs were incurred. The approximate revenue and net loss for the acquired business as a standalone entity per ASC 805 from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, was $14,692 and $21,862, respectively, and, from January 1, 2022, to December 16, 2022, $13,059 and $15,279, respectively.
Results of Operations
Revenues. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $243,434, compared to revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022, of $185,923, which increase is due primarily to organic growth from consistent implementation of business strategies. A lack of operating capital restrained potential growth in revenues.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $200,039, compared to cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022, of $75,873. The increase of costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues is attributable primarily to increased costs associated with direct placement revenue that did not generate associated revenues.
Compensation Expense. Compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $517,618, compared to compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022, of $432,452, and consists entirely of compensation paid to officers, which was accrued.
Consulting Fees. Consulting fees for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $90,000, compared to consulting fees for the year ended December 31, 2022, of $181,667. This decrease is attributable to the Company’s lack of operating capital.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $131,590, compared to general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, of $363,522, which reduction is primarily attributable to our experiencing a one-time loss of $197,000 as a result of the related-party loss on the acquisition of Interview Mastery.
Professional fees. Professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $250,770, compared to professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2022, of $780,251. The decrease in professional fees is attributable to our reduced activity associated with our lack of operating capital.
Other Income (Expense). Total other expense for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $2,802,369, compared to other expense for the year ended December 31, 2022, of 2,932,596. In future periods, it is expected that other expense will increase, due to our being in default under substantially all of our outstanding debt instruments.
Net Loss. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $3,748,952, compared to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022, of $4,580,438.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the year ended December 31, 2023, we used $4,530,575 of cash in operating activities, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, when we used $617,532 of cash in operating activities.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, investing activities did not use or provide cash, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, when investing activities provided $2,150 in cash, which was attributable to the cash acquired in the reverse merger and acquisition.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, financing activities did not use or provide cash, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, when financing activities provided $782,100 in cash derived from third-party debt financing.
The Company currently owes $477,702 on non-convertible loans payable, all of which are in default, and $440,109 for outstanding convertible notes, net of discounts, all of which are in default.
In addition, entities negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic were eligible to apply for loans sponsored by the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL Loan”) program. On July 15, 2020, the Company received cash proceeds of $40,400 under this program. In addition, in July 2020, the Company received $6,000 from the SBA as a COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan Advance (the “EIDL Advance”). The proceeds can be used to fund payroll, healthcare benefits, rent and other qualifying expenses, and the loan is not subject to a loan forgiveness provision. The standard EIDL Loan repayment terms include interest accruing at 3.75% per annum effective July 15, 2020; the payment schedule contains a one-year deferral period on initial principal and interest payments; the loan term is thirty years; and there is no prepayment penalty or fees. The Company pledged all assets of the Company as collateral for the loan. As of December 31, 2021, the amounts outstanding totaled $40,400, and was classified as part of notes payable on the consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, the Company entered into a security agreement with the SBA in which this promissory note is collateralized by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. In addition, the Company’s CEO, Edward Aizman, provided his personal guaranty of the EIDL Loan and pledged certain of his personal assets in conjunction with his guaranty. On January 6, 2021, the SBA announced a one-year extension of the deferral period for loans that commenced in 2020 delaying payments of principal and interest to July 2022. Pursuant to an SBA Procedural Notice in December 2020, the EIDL Advance was forgiven. The Company has recognized the entire EIDL Advance amount of $6,000 as grant income, which is included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In February 2022, the Company agreed to the first and second modifications of the EIDL Loan. The EIDL was modified to include additional borrowings of $269,200, which were received in full in February 2022. Periodic monthly payments have increased to $1,556 in the first modification and reduced to $1,506 in the second modification. Additionally, the Company entered into an amended security agreement with the SBA in which this promissory note, and the modifications, is collateralized by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. The balance of the EIDL loan balance at December 31, 2023 is $309,500, respectively. The Company is in default under the EIDL Loan and the EIDL Loan has been referred by the SBA to the U.S. Treasury Offset Program. The Company is currently in the process of addressing the charged-off status of the EIDL Loan with the SBA and simultaneously submitting an application to the SBA’s Hardship Accommodation Program (HAP), whereby the Company hopes to receive some relief while arranging for, and keeping current, reduced payments thereon. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure any such relief.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going-concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized, and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations. At December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $12,992,877, and a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, of $3,748,952. Of the net loss, 946,583 was due to operations and the remainder was due primarily to interest expense and the derivative liabilities. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain adequate funding to support its operations through continuing investments of debt and/or equity by qualified investors/creditors, internally generated working capital and monetization of intellectual property assets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management is currently pursuing a business strategy which includes raising the necessary funds to finance the Company’s development and marketing efforts.
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or available from external sources such as debt or equity financings, or other potential sources. The inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources will force the Company to substantially curtail and cease operations, therefore, having a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any funds, if available, will possess attractive terms or not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Bowmo Inc and Subsidiaries.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bowmo Inc and Subsidiaries (the ‘Company’) as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity / (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company suffered an accumulated deficit of $(12,992,877), net loss of $(3,748,952) and a negative working capital of $(4,445,342). These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regards to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. Communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

NOTE 1 - BACKGROUND
Reverse Merger and Corporate Restructure
On May 4, 2022, Cruzani, Inc. (“Cruzani” or the “Predecessor”) entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Bowmo, Inc. (“Bowmo”) and Bowmo Merger Sub, Inc. to acquire Bowmo. (the “Acquisition”). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated on May 4, 2022, and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all outstanding shares of Bowmo were exchanged for shares of Cruzani’s common stock and Bowmo became Cruzani’s wholly owned subsidiary.
The merger was effected pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The merger is being accounted for as a reverse merger whereby Bowmo is the acquirer for accounting purposes. Bowmo is considered the acquiring company for accounting purposes as upon completion of the Merger, Bowmo’s former stockholders held a majority of the voting interest of the combined company.
Pursuant to the merger, the Company issued Series G Preferred Stock holding the voting rights to 78% of the total voting equity securities to Bowmo’s stockholders. Upon completion of the acquisition, Bowmo is treated as the surviving entity and accounting acquirer although Cruzani was the legal acquirer. Accordingly, the historical financial statements are those of Bowmo.
Accounting for Reverse Merger
The fair value of Cruzani assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based upon management’s estimates.
The following table summarizes the allocation of purchase price of the acquisition: 
Tangible Assets Acquired: Allocation
Cash and cash equivalents
Accounts payable (326,400 )
Accrued interest (1,197,027 )

Organization and Business
Bowmo, Inc. (FKA Cruzani, Inc.) (the “Company”) is an AI-powered recruiting platform. The Company’s principal lines of business are direct placement of candidates with employers and Recruiting as a Service which allows the Company’s customers to outsource the management of their recruiting process to the Company. The Company offers recruiting software and services through an online AI-driven platform to connect potential candidates to employers for all businesses looking to address hiring needs. The Company was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in 2016.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going-concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized, and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations.
The Company incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, of $3,748,952, of which approximately $947,000 was due to operations and the remainder was due primarily to interest expense and derivative liabilities. At the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has a working capital deficit of $3,750,722 and an accumulated deficit of $12,992,877.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain adequate funding to support its operations through continuing investments of debt and/or equity by qualified investors/creditors, internally generated working capital and monetization of intellectual property assets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management is currently pursuing a business strategy which includes raising the necessary funds to finance the Company’s development and marketing efforts.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).The preparation of 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) valid transactions are recorded; and (3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, fair values relating to derivative liabilities, debt discounts and the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
COVID-19 Impacts on Accounting Policies and Estimates
COVID-19 Impacts on Accounting Policies and Estimates In light of the currently unknown ultimate duration and severity of COVID-19, we face a greater degree of uncertainty than normal in making the judgments and estimates needed to apply our significant accounting policies. As COVID-19 continues to develop, we may make changes to these estimates and judgments over time, which could result in meaningful impacts to our financial statements in future periods.
Principals of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company accounts for cash and cash equivalents under FASB ASC 305, Cash and Cash Equivalents, and considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6,308 and $167,103, respectively. There are no amounts that are uninsured by the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation).
Deferred Income Taxes and Valuation Allowance
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, due to cumulative losses, we recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset that reduced our income tax benefit for the period to zero. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 we had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes and the carrying value of our deferred tax asset was zero.
The Company accounts for income taxes applying FASB ASC 740, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Financial Instruments
The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.
All items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon level 3 inputs. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the financial statements.
The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with various accounting standards.
ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” provides that instruments convertible predominantly at a fixed rate resulting in a fixed monetary amount due upon conversion with a variable quantity of shares (“stock settled debt”) be recorded as a liability at the fixed monetary amount.
ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the instrument is not a stock settled debt and the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the share transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred shares.
ASC 815-40 provides that generally if an event is not within the entity’s control and could require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
Convertible Notes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options
The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which contain, predominantly, fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. This results in a fair value of the convertible note being equal to a fixed monetary amount. The Company records the convertible note liability as stock settled debt in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and measures the convertible note at its fixed monetary amount, which is the result of the share price discount at the time of conversion, and records the put premium, as applicable, on the note date with a charge to interest expense.
Derivative Instruments
The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of derivatives with the sale of a convertible notes in 2023. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company records the derivatives at their fair values as of the inception date of the debt agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. The carrying value assigned to the host instrument will be the difference between the previous carrying value of the host instrument and the fair value of the derivatives. There is an offsetting debt discount or premium as a result of the fair value assigned to the derivatives, as well as any debt issuance costs, which are amortized under the straight-line method over the term of the loan. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. If the fair value of the derivatives was higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives was lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded non-operating, non-cash income.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration transferred are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the expected life of the asset. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from business combinations and are expensed as incurred. The Company remeasures fair value as of each reporting date and changes resulting from events after the acquisition date, are recognized as follows: 1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or 2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in fair value and accretion costs are recognized in earnings.
Revenue Recognition
For annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) made effective ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. Revenue is now recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. The objective of the guidance is to establish the principles that an entity shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The principle is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. Two options were made available for implementation of the standard: the full retrospective approach or modified retrospective approach. The guidance became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted.
The Company generates revenue from (1) Recruiting as a Service (“Raas”), and (2) Direct Placement.
Recruiting as a Service:
RaaS allows the Company’s customers to outsource the management of their recruiting process allowing the Company to use the Application to assist its customers hiring needs by strategically gearing the service to reach the customer’s objectives. Revenue from RaaS consists of monthly billing to the customer for services provided.
RaaS service contracts with customers are month-to-month for a fixed price. Revenues are recognized on a gross basis when each monthly subscription service is completed.
Direct Placement
The Company generates direct placement revenue by earning one-time fees for each time an employer hires one of the candidates that the Company refers. The Company sources qualified candidate referrals for the employers’ available jobs through the use of the Company’s Application. Upon the employer hiring one or more of the Company’s candidate referrals, the Company earns the direct placement fee, which consists of an amount agreed upon between the Company and its customers. The fee is a percentage of the referred candidates’ first year’s base salary.
Direct placement revenues are recognized on a gross basis on the date of hire of the candidate placed with an employer, as it is more than probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur. This fee is only charged to the employer. Any payments received prior to the hire date are recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Payments for recruitment services are typically due within 30 days of completion of services.
Direct placement revenue is subject to a 90-180 day guarantee that the candidate will not resign or be terminated in that time period. The Company uses historical evidence as well as additional factors to determine and estimate the amount of consideration received that the Company does not expect to be entitled to. For any amounts received for which the Company does not expect to be entitled, it would not recognize revenue when the candidate is hired but would recognize those amounts received as a refund liability. The Company included in the transaction price the estimated amount of variable consideration per the expected value method. A refund liability would be credited for the difference between cash consideration received and variable consideration recognized. The refund liability would be updated at the end of each reporting period for any changes in circumstances. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 there was no refund liability on the consolidated balance sheets as historically no direct placement revenue has been refunded to the Company.
Revenue Segmentation
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, revenues can be categorized into the following:
December 31,
December 31,
Direct placement $ 78,458 $ 142,242
Recruiting as a Service 169,976 43,681
Total revenues $ 243,434 $ 185,923
(the $169,976 is a result the difference between $78,458 and the other unidentified revenue accounts in QB)
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenue consist of employee costs, third party staffing costs, hosting service fees, and other fees, outsourced recruiter fees and commissions.
Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risks consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are held in United States financial institutions. At times such amounts may exceed federally insured limits.
Stock-based compensation
We account for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” using the fair value based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the shorter of the service period or the vesting period of the stock-based compensation. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of stock-based compensation at the grant date under this model requires judgment, including estimating volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeiture rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
Change in account principle
Commencing with the second quarter of 2022, the Company prospectively changed its accounting treatment for securities that contain predominantly, fixed rate conversion features by recording the derivative feature as a put premium on stock settled debt. See Note 7 for further discussion. The company believes this change in accounting principle is preferable as it applies a more consistent method of accounting for convertible notes that contain similar conversion features. This accounting change resulted in a gain on new methodology for accounting for debt conversion features of $27,856 on the consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 4 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Interview Mastery Asset Purchase
On December 16, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with a related party, Interview Mastery Corporation (“Interview Mastery”), a Delaware corporation, by and through Michael R. Neece (“Neece”), the Company’s Chief Product Officer, and Caseridus, Inc. Under the terms of the APA, the Company will pay the purchase price through the issuance of 1,000,000,000 (pre-reverse split) shares of the Company’s common stock to the stockholders of Interview Mastery, valued at the stock price of $0.0002 on the acquisition date, that vest immediately for all of the business assets of Interview Mastery. An additional 1,000,000,000 (pre-reverse split) shares of Company common stock will be issued as compensation in consideration of Neece’s employment with the Company which shall vest over a four (4) year period during which 250,000,000 (pre-reverse split) shares will vest on the first-year anniversary of Neece’s employment, followed by vesting in increments of 62,500,000 shares per quarter (3-month period) thereafter until the full amount is vested and all of which shall be contingent upon Neece’s continual employment with the Company. These shares were valued using the share price of $0.0002 at the date of acquisition, and they will be expensed as stock-based compensation based on the vesting terms contingent upon continual employment of Neece. In connection with the APA, the Company created a new board seat and offered this seat to Neece who was formally invited to join the Company’s Board of Directors.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with the acquisition method under the guidance in ASC 805-10 and 805-20. This business combination was accounted for as a related party acquisition, as Neece is the chief product officer of the Company.
Accordingly, the total purchase consideration was allocated to net assets acquired based on their respective historical costs. The assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, if any, in a business purchase combination be recognized at their historical costs as of the acquisition date.
The final allocation of the purchase price in connection with the Interview Mastery acquisition was calculated as follows:
Description Fair Value Weighted Average
Useful Life
(Years)
Cash $ 1,633
Prepaid expenses
Loss on acquisition - related party 197,370
$ 200,000
Total acquisition costs incurred were $58,092 recorded as a component of General and administrative expenses. As a result of the business combination, the Company recognized a related party loss of $197,370 which is included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2022.

On January 6, 2021, the SBA announced a one-year extension of the deferral period for loans that commenced in 2020 delaying payments of principal and interest to July 2022. Pursuant to an SBA Procedural Notice in December 2020, the EIDL Advance was forgiven.

The Company is in default under the EIDL Loan and the EIDL Loan has been referred by the SBA to the U.S. Treasury Offset Program. The Company is currently in the process of addressing the charged-off status of the EIDL Loan with the SBA and simultaneously submitting an application to the SBA’s Hardship Accommodation Program (“HAP”), whereby the Company hopes to receive some relief while arranging for, and keeping current, reduced payments thereon.

Third Party
As a result of the reverse merger that occurred on May 4, 2022, as discussed in Note 1, the Company assumed convertible notes from Cruzani (1-3 below). Convertible debt outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, consist of the following:
1) Between May 20, 2020 and October 1, 2021, Cruzani entered into several convertible notes with Livingston Asset Management bearing interest at 10% per annum and totaling $331,600. These convertible notes were convertible at 70% of the lowest close bid price of the Company’s stock price for a twenty-day period. These convertible notes were accounted for as stock settled debt in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, resulting in put premiums on stock settled debt being recognized. As of December 31, 2022, these convertible notes were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock.
2) On November 17, 2021, Cruzani entered into a convertible note with Oscaleta Partners, LLC bearing interest at 10% per annum and totaling $11,000. This convertible note was convertible at 50% of the lowest close bid price of the Company’s stock price for a twenty-day period. This convertible note was accounted for as stock settled debt in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, resulting in a put premium on stock settled debt being recognized. As of December 31, 2022, the convertible note was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock.
3) On July 7, 2020, the Company issued a $84,681 convertible promissory note to a third party in exchange for $84,681. The Convertible Note bears interest at 10%, per annum. All unpaid principal and accrued interest under the Convertible Note will be due and payable in full one year from issuance. After six months from the issuance date, the Holder may elect to convert into that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest under this Note by the amount equal to the anticipate public market price of the Company’s common stock multiplied by fifty percent (50%). This convertible note was accounted for as stock settled debt in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, resulting in put premiums on stock settled debt being recognized. See Note 7. As of December 31, 2022, this convertible note is in default and the principal and accrued interest balance remain outstanding. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had additional borrowings of $145,551. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the outstanding balance was $230,232 and $84,681, respectively
NOTE 7 - PUT PREMIUM ON STOCK SETTLED DEBT
At the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company decided to adopt ASC 480- “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” When they enter into convertible notes, some of which contain, predominantly, fixed rate conversion features (See Note 7 for conversion terms), whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. This results in a fair value of the convertible note being equal to a fixed monetary amount. The Company records the convertible note liability at its fixed monetary amount by measuring and recording a put premium on the consolidated balance sheets, as applicable, on the note date with a charge to interest expense.
The put premiums are expensed on issuance of the debt with the liability released to additional paid in capital on conversion of the principal.
In previous years, the Company had recorded such items as derivative liabilities (See Note 8). Thus, there was a charge to put premium on stock settled debt and a decrease to derivative liability for all convertible debt determined to have fixed rate conversion options. On a going-forward basis, all put premiums will be recorded as a liability as
put premium on stock settled debt on the consolidated balance sheets with a charge to interest expense.
The company believes this change in accounting principles in preferable as it applies a more consistent method of accounting for convertible notes that contain similar conversion features. This accounting change resulted in a gain on new methodology for accounting for debt conversion features of $0 and $27,856 on the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
Commencing with the second quarter of 2022, the Company changed its accounting treatment for securities that contain predominantly, fixed rate conversion features by recording the derivative feature as a put premium on stock settled debt.
The embedded conversion options of certain of the Company’s convertible debentures summarized in Note 6 contain variable conversion features that qualify for embedded derivative classification under ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives. The fair value of these liabilities is re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value is reported in the statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.
The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities:
Total
Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 110,992
Change Due to Issuances 2,718,645
Transfer to put premium (112,537 )
Change in fair value (544,850 )
Balance as of December 31, 2022 2,172,250
Change Due to Issuances (4,035,300 )
Transfer to put premium 651,156
Change in fair value 1,645,712
Balance as of December 31, 2023 $ 433,818
The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for its conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using Black-Scholes options pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are share price, expected volatility and the expected option term (the time from the issuance date until the maturity date). The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to issue dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from governmental zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term. As, required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations of its derivatives:
December 31,
December 31,
Stock price $0.0001 - $0.1500 $0.0002 - $0.0005
Exercise price $0.00003 - $0.2572 $0.00005 - $0.0001
Contractual term (in years) 7.00 - 0.025 1.00 - 0.80
Volatility (annual) 174% - 2068% 441% - 443%
Risk-free rate 4.41% - 5.57% 4.41% - 4.60%

NOTE 11 - WARRANTS
In 2022, in connection with the issuance of convertible note with Frondeur Partners, LLC (“Frondeur”), King Wharf Opportunities Fund, and Trillium Partners, LP, the Company also issued 5,616,000,000 (pre-reverse split) common stock purchase warrants to purchase 5,616,000,000 (pre-reverse split) shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms therein as a commitment fee. In 2023, in connection with further issuance to the same lenders, additional warrants to purchase 7,500,000 (post-reverse split) shares of the Company’s common stock were issued under the same terms as prior agreements.
These warrants have an exercise price per share between $0.0025- $0.0001 the above and expire between five and seven years. The aggregate fair value of the warrants, which was allocated against the debt proceeds totaled $596,927 based on the Black Scholes Merton pricing model using the following estimates: exercise price ranging from $0.00025 and $0.0025, 2.50% to 4.28% risk free rate, 266.74% to 699.48% volatility and expected life of the warrants of 5 to 7 years. The fair value was credited to additional paid in capital and debited to debt discount to be amortized over the term of the loan.

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for its conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Binomial option pricing model based on various assumptions. The model incorporates the price of a share of the Company’s common stock (as quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board), volatility, risk free rate, dividend rate and estimated life. Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. As, required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations:

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingency arising from indebtedness owed to Oasis Capital, LLC
A contingency arises when there is a situation for which the outcome is uncertain, and which should be resolved in the future, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles require recognition of only those losses that are probable and for which a loss amount can be reasonably estimated.
The following details the nature of the contingency with Oasis Capital LLC (“Oasis”). In the normal course of its business, Oasis files notices to convert (“conversion notices”) a portion of its outstanding ownership of the Company’s indebtedness into shares of common stock. As a customary procedure for the annual audit for the period ended December 31, 2020, of Cruzani, Cruzani’s auditors confirmed its outstanding balance of the indebtedness and related accrued interest. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Oasis submitted conversions which stated that the outstanding indebtedness was far greater than that which was on the Company’s books. The total amount of the increased indebtedness was approximately $1.2 million. After investigation, the Company determined that the difference related to liquidated damages that the Company does not believe that it owes.
Since the Company believes that the loss is not probable and no litigation has been pursued at this time, there has been no recognition of this liability on the books and records of the Company.
Legal
During the normal course of business, the Company may be exposed to litigation. When the Company becomes aware of potential litigation, it evaluates the merits of the case in accordance with FASB ASC 450-20-50, Contingencies. The Company evaluates its exposure to the matter, possible legal or settlement strategies and the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome. If the Company determines that an unfavorable outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated, it establishes the necessary accruals. A contingency arises when there is a situation for which the outcome is uncertain, and which should be resolved in the future, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles require recognition of only those losses that are probable and for which a loss amount can be reasonably estimated.
On February 13, 2017, Baum Glass & Jayne PLLC (“Plaintiff”) obtained a default judgment against the Company in the amount of $27,084. Plaintiff has not attempted enforced collection. The amount was included in accounts payable as of December 31, 2023.
NOTE 14 - INCOME TAX
There was no income tax expense reflected in the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 because the Company incurred a net loss for tax purposes.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of $12,992,877 and $9,243,925, respectively which may be used to offset future taxable income. Approximately $1,696,000 will begin to expire in 2036 while $5,920,000 will not expire but will be limited in annual utilization of 80% of current year income.
The tax effects of temporary differences which give rise to deferred tax assets (liabilities) are summarized as follows:
December 31,
December 31,
Deferred tax assets / (liabilities)
Net operating loss carry forward $ 3,361,000 $ 2,923,000
Stock-based compensation 517,618 245,000
Accrued expenses 192,697 193,000
Net deferred tax assets 4,071,315 3,361,000
Valuation allowance (4,071,315 ) (3,361,000 )
Net deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance $ -
$ -
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realizability.
Reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax to the Company’s effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:
December 31,
December 31,
Statutory federal income tax rate 21.0 % 21.00 %
State tax, net of federal benefit 15.29 % 15.29 %
Permanent differences 2.50 % 2.50 %
Valuation allowance (38.79 )% (38.79 )%
Effective rate -
% -
%
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the ability to utilize net operating losses if a 50% change in ownership occurs over a three-year period. Such limitation of the net operating losses may have occurred, but we have not analyzed it at this time as the deferred tax asset is fully reserved.
On March 27, 2020, the US government signed the CARES Act into law, a $2 trillion relief package to provide support to individuals, businesses, and government organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic. During 2020, $91,035 in PPP relief was received under the CARES Act and was forgiven free of taxation in 2021.
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. There were no changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties during fiscal 2023 or 2022 related to unrecognized tax benefits.
For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the net increase in valuation allowance was approximately $710,315 and $1,777,000, respectively.
Tax years 2018-2022 remain open to examination for federal income tax purposes and by other major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
The Company has not filed its federal tax return for the year ended December 31, 2023. Accordingly, it expects to be liable for late filing penalties in its taxable jurisdictions.
NOTE 15 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Through March 31, 2024, the Company issued three convertible notes. The principal amount of these notes are $10,000 each, for a total amount of $30,000. They bear interest at 10% and are due in full at October 31, 2024, November 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company granted 150,000 warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with these convertible notes. These warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 and a term of five years.
From January 1, 2023 through the time of this report, the Company issued 4,247,383,100 shares of the Company’s common stock upon conversion of notes payable.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
On May 6, 2024, the Board of Directors of bowmo, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the “Company”), voted unanimously in favor of the immediate dismissal of the Company’s current independent registered public accounting firm, BF Borgers CPA PC (“BF Borgers”), and delivered written notice of such dismissal to BF Borgers on such date. The Board of Directors’ action was taken in response to the entry of a final order by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 3, 2024, denying BF Borgers the privilege of appearing or practicing before the Commission as an accountant. The Company notified BF Borgers of the dismissal action on May 6, 2024.
Further, during the Company’s three most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, and the subsequent interim period through May 6, 2024: there were no disagreements between the Company and BF Borgers on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BF Borgers, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements.
On September 8, 2024 (the “Engagement Date”), the Company’s Board of Directors approved the selection and engagement of Olayinka Oyebola & Co. (Chartered Accountants) (“Olayinka”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent interim periods through the Engagement Date, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted Olayinka regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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 chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, 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, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with 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.
As required by the SEC Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below.
To address these material weaknesses, management engaged financial consultants, performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) for the Company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023, and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard AS 2201, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that as of December 31, 2023, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the year ended December 31, 2023. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts the Company’s ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
3. We have inadequate controls to ensure that information necessary to properly record transactions is adequately communicated on a timely basis from non-financial personnel to those responsible for financial reporting. Management evaluated the impact of the lack of timely communication between non-financial personnel and financial personnel on our assessment of our reporting controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency represented a material weakness.
4. Certain control procedures were unable to be verified due to performance not being sufficiently documented. As an example, some procedures requiring review of certain reports could not be verified due to there being no written documentation of such review. Management evaluated the impact of its failure to maintain proper documentation of the review process on its assessment of its reporting controls and procedures and has concluded deficiencies represented a material weakness.
We intend to continue to address these weaknesses as resources permit.
Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there are material weaknesses as identified herein, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s 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 as we are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except the implementation of the controls identified above.

Other than the employment agreements described in this report, there are no arrangements or understandings between the directors and executive officers listed in the table above and any other person(s) pursuant to which he was elected as a director or appointed as an executive officer.
Edward Aizman, Director, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Aizman serves as a Funder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Aizman is an accomplished staffing and recruiting professional with over 20 years of extensive experience in recruiting, sales, management, business development, and marketing. From Mar 1997 to August 2016, Mr. Aizman served as the Account Manager with SANS Consulting Services, Inc. located in Greater New York City Area, Mr. Aizman’s Clients included: JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, and others. In September 2016, Mr. Aizman joined the Company as Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer. On May 27, 2022, Mr. Aizman was appointed as a Director, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. We believe Mr. Aizman is qualified to serve as a director of the Company due to his extensive experience in the technology and recruiting industry.
Michael E. Lakshin, MBA, President and Chairman of the Board. Mr. Lakshin is a seasoned business executive and serial entrepreneur with more than 28 years of start-up and senior business management experience. Participated in launching and developing various business ventures and overseeing multiple IPOs in the U.S. and internationally. Designed and managed more than 50 marketing/advertising and IR campaigns for various companies across multiple industries worldwide. Holds Executive MBA from Rutgers Business School. Prior to joining bowmo, Mr. Lakshin served as the CEO of 8K Miles Media Group, the South-Asian Indian Media Company and the COO and Managing Director of Crescendo Communications, LLC., New York-based Investor Relations Company. Mr. Lakshin joined bowmo in April 2020 as the Chief Revenue Officer to spearhead its new investment strategies and on May 27, 2020 Mr. Lakshin has been appointed BOWMO™’s Chairman of the Board and President. We believe Mr. Lakshin is qualified to serve as a director of the Company due to his vast financial, marketing and operational experience.
Conrad R. Huss, Co-Chairman of the Board. Prior to joining us upon completion of the Merger, Mr. Huss served as the sole officer and director of Cruzani. Mr. Huss is a financial professional with over 25 years of investment banking and operating experience. Most recently, he was with Ocean Cross Capital Markets, as Senior Managing Director from 2011 to 2013. Previously, Mr. Huss served as the Senior Managing Director at Southridge Investment Group from 2006 to 2011. We believe Mr. Huss is qualified to serve as a director of the Company due to his financial and operational experience.
Director Independence
We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the Board of Directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
None of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
● any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
● any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
● being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
● being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
Audit Committee
We currently do not have a separately standing Audit Committee due to our limited size. Our Board performs the functions that would otherwise be performed by an Audit Committee.
Compensation Committee
The Company does not have a Compensation Committee due to our limited size and our Board performs the functions that would otherwise be performed by a Compensation Committee. Our Board intends to form a Compensation Committee when needed.
Other Committees
We do not currently have a separately-designated standing nominating committee. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, no security holders have made any such recommendations. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our Board, it is not practical for us to have committees other than those described above, or to have more than two directors on such committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and our committees and allocate responsibilities accordingly.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
Because we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have a financial expert, nor has the Board established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company has only five directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.
Significant Employees
We do not have any significant employees other than our current executive officers and directors named in this Annual Report.
Code of Ethics
Our Board has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our employees, including our Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer. Although not required, the Code of Ethics also applies to our directors. The Code of Ethics provides written standards that we believe are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure and compliance with laws, rules and regulations, including insider trading, corporate opportunities and whistleblowing or the prompt reporting of illegal or unethical behavior. We will provide a copy of our Code of Ethics, without charge, upon request in writing us.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on our review of certain reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the reports required to be filed with respect to transactions in our common stock during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, were not timely.
