Business Context and Reporting Period
This Annual Report covers the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Nixxy, Inc. (formerly Recruiter.com Group, Inc.) is a holding company undergoing a strategic transformation.

The Company is pivoting toward a focus on telecommunications, AI-driven technology, and fintech solutions. Key strategic moves include acquiring the license for GoLogiq's fintech technology, acquiring assets from Savitr Tech OU (telecommunications and AI billing), and planning a spin-out of historical assets into a subsidiary renamed CognoGroup (formerly Atlantic Energy Solutions).

Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Revenue decreased 81% to $0.61 million, primarily due to the cessation of the "Recruiters On Demand" business (down 99.9%) and the sale of the Recruiter.com website.
- Increased Net Loss: Net loss widened significantly to $22.6 million, driven by a $4.7 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and an $8.5 million loss on debt extinguishment/settlement.
- Debt Restructuring: The Company settled significant promissory notes (August 2022 notes and Montage Capital loan) by converting debt to equity, resulting in substantial non-cash losses but reducing the debt balance from $5.8 million in 2023 to $1.2 million in 2024.
- Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses increased to $15.5 million from $10.9 million, largely due to increased General and Administrative expenses (including $5.6 million in stock-based compensation) and the goodwill impairment charge.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Going Concern: Management has determined there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company used $4.1 million in cash for operations in 2024 and has a working capital deficit. Available cash is insufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months without additional financing.
Strategic Outlook: The Company is pursuing growth through AI and telecommunications. Recent post-year-end developments include a contract with Mexedia SpA for SMS services (potential $10M/month revenue capacity) and acquisitions of Savitr Tech and Aqua Software assets. A $10 million share repurchase program was authorized in February 2025.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Liquidity: Dependence on raising additional capital to fund operations and strategic acquisitions.
- Legal Proceedings: Pending lawsuits include collection matters against BKR Strategy Group (judgment obtained but uncollected), and claims from Pipl, Inc., Creditors Adjustment Bureau, and HireTeammate, Inc. totaling approximately $560,000 in claimed damages.
- Internal Controls: The Company identified material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting, citing insufficient segregation of duties and lack of in-house technical expertise for complex transactions.
- Regulatory: Risks associated with the telecommunications industry, including FCC regulations and data privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA).
Investor Verification Checklist
- Cash Runway: Verify the sufficiency of the $2.53 million cash balance against the stated need for additional financing to survive the next 12 months.
- Debt Settlement Terms: Review the specific terms of the debt-to-equity conversions to understand the dilution impact on existing shareholders.
- Legal Exposure: Monitor the status of the uncollected $500,000 judgment against BKR Strategy Group and the defense of pending lawsuits totaling ~$560,000.
- Spin-Out Execution: Confirm the timeline and structure of the CognoGroup spin-out, as the final terms are still under evaluation.
- Revenue Realization: Assess the likelihood of the new telecom and AI contracts (Mexedia, Savitr) generating revenue quickly enough to offset operating losses.
