Changes versus prior periods

  • Q3 revenue declined 10%; service revenue fell 34%, mainly from lower advertising, profit-share and management-fee revenue. Product sales rose 1%.
  • Nine-month revenue fell 20%, reflecting lower digital product sales following infrastructure changes and lower advertising revenue.
  • Operating expenses increased 57% in Q3 and 97% for the nine-month period. Management attributed increases to staffing and stock compensation, and to higher IPO-related legal, accounting and due-diligence fees.
  • Net loss widened substantially year over year. Nine-month other expense included a $29,557 loss related to NFT purchases and a $34,306 loss on a website sale.

Outlook, risks and unusual items

  • Going concern: The filing says recurring losses raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management cited possible equity financing or related-party advances but had no formal plan and gave no assurance funding would be available. Separately, management said available cash and expected operating cash flows should fund requirements for at least 12 months.
  • Post-quarter acquisitions: Three businesses closed in October 2022. The WordPress business cost $1.25 million cash, a $40,000 promissory note and up to $60,000 earn-out; SEO Butler cost $950,000; and the proofreading business cost $4.499 million, comprising $2.1 million cash, a $2.399 million one-year note at 3% (8% after default), and a warrant for up to 20,000 shares. The filing describes $4.34 million of acquisition cash payments after quarter-end and additional notes and potential earn-outs. Historical business performance figures are presented as estimates by the sellers/company and are not necessarily indicative of future results.
  • Capital structure: The IPO issued 2,753,750 common shares and warrants; the filing reports 6,199,863 warrants outstanding at September 30, 2022. Series A preferred stock carries cumulative 12% annual cash dividends and a $25-per-share liquidation preference. Unpaid preferred dividends were $47,539 at quarter-end.
  • Internal controls: Management concluded disclosure controls were ineffective due to a material weakness in financial reporting controls, including insufficient formal processes for journal-entry processing and review. Remediation steps had not operated long enough to establish that the weakness was remediated.
  • The company reported no material COVID-19 impact to date, but noted possible future effects. It reported no material legal proceedings and no material changes to previously disclosed risk factors.

Important facts to verify

  • Reconcile the filing’s differing IPO net-proceeds figures: the financial statements report $12,255,470, while the narrative reports $12,225,470 and approximately $12.1 million.
  • Review acquisition funding, integration, the $2.399 million BCP note maturity and repayment requirements, and the subsequent cash outflows against the company’s liquidity and going-concern disclosures.
  • Assess whether revenue declines, operating cash burn and increased operating expenses improve or worsen after the three acquisitions; the filing provides no consolidated post-acquisition results.
  • Track remediation of the material weakness and the potential dilution from warrants, options and preferred-stock obligations.
