Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

• Going Concern: The filing explicitly states there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. The company has sustained recurring losses and requires additional capital to meet obligations and fund growth.
• Financing Activities: To address liquidity, the company secured $740,000 in new debt during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This includes two convertible notes ($200k and $100k face value) and a $500k promissory note.
• Customer Concentration Risk: The business is highly dependent on a few key clients. The top three customers represented over 83% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Loss of these customers would materially impact financial health.
• Related Party Transactions: Significant liabilities exist related to related parties, including $1.95M in unpaid payroll liabilities to officers and related parties. Media traffic purchases are conducted exclusively through a related party, Hottest Media LLC.
• Internal Controls: Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024, citing material weaknesses due to inadequate segregation of duties and insufficient written policies.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Debt Service Capability: Verify the company's ability to service the new $740,000 in debt obligations and the $1.95M in accrued related-party payroll liabilities.
• Customer Retention: Assess the stability of the top three customers who account for >83% of recent revenue.
• Capital Raise Status: Confirm if the company has secured the additional equity or debt financing required to sustain operations for the next 12 months as noted in the going concern warning.
• Related Party Terms: Review the terms of the media traffic purchases with Hottest Media LLC to ensure pricing is at arm's length.
• Internal Control Remediation: Monitor progress on remediation steps for the identified material weaknesses in internal financial controls.
