PART I
ITEM 1. Business
Nature of Operations and Going Concern
APPlife Digital Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed March 5, 2018, in Nevada and has offices in San Francisco, California and Shanghai, China. Our office in San Francisco, California allows us to take advantage of the marketing opportunities available in the United States as well as keeping close proximity to sources of capital whether it is debt or equity. Our offices in Shanghai, China allows us to take advantage of a high concentration of skilled tech coders and developers at lower capital costs than in more developed countries such as the United States or Europe. The Company’s mission is using digital technology to create APPs and websites that make life, business and living easier, more efficient and just smarter.
We are a development stage company with a limited operating history, operations, and revenues and we will need to raise capital to implement our planned operations. If we are unable to do so, an entire investment in our stock could be lost.
The Company anticipates that it would need a minimum of approximately $1,500,000 over the next 12 months to continue as a going concern and bring the Company’s ecommerce and/or cloud-based businesses to market and generate revenue within that time frame. Specifically, in order for the Company to fully implement its plans to create apps and spend the necessary marketing expenditures for them we will need: (1) $750,000 for marketing expenses, (2) $500,000 for general administration and overhead expenses, (3) $180,000 for legal and accounting expenses, and (3) $70,000 for developers and engineers and app and server maintenance expenses. If we are not able to raise enough funds, we may be forced to look for capital through debt or equity, which would dilute our common stockholders.
Products
As of the period from inception, through today’s date, we have generated limited revenue and incurred expenses and operating losses, as part of our developmental stage activities in developing three apps, B2BCHX, ROOSTER and Office Hop. B2BCHX is our first fully developed app/mobile website that was available in iTunes App Store and Google Play and a formerly functioning ecommerce website. B2BCHX allows business owners around the world to order three levels of background checks on Chinese companies to prevent fraudulent business transactions. The retail price for each report is $79, $399 and $1,299. The model is not currently marketing for new customers as the laws in China that allowed the attorney partnership, we have in place to record information about Chinese companies and distribute overseas, has been suspended temporarily.
ROOSTER ESSENTIALS ecommerce website, mobile website. After creating a reactive mobile web-based platform, the value of the apps for this model disappeared and we cut o our losses quickly by removing the apps. The website developed and launched BETA operations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 and launched its full commercial operations in the second quarter of 2022. ROOSTER ESSENTIALS is an online men’s grooming supply store, and it allows men to fully customize which products they receive and set up an auto-delivery schedule for each product for automatic recurring delivery. ROOSTER ESSENTIALS currently carries over 200 products from over 80 brands. We anticipate the sources of revenue will come from product purchases, advertising, and sponsorships.
OFFICE HOP entered beta testing in the fourth quarter of 2021 and is now fully functional as of January 2022. We believe OFFICE HOP fits perfectly into the needs of the post Covid working world, where short-term offices and meeting rooms will be in high demand. The OFFICE HOP model is like Airbnb for short term shared or private office space and meeting rooms. Those offices that have an extra office, shared desk, an empty meeting room or conference room may list the space and act as a host for a user. Those users in need of a short-term shared desk, meeting room or private office may locate one on our platform and rent it out for use as needed by the hour, half day, full day, week or month. We will also offer access to creative spaces such as photo studios and pop-up art galleries and will offer restaurants with private rooms a way to rent out the space with a menu included for group or lunch meetings. The revenue is expected to come from the 10-15% service fee charged to Users for finding and making a transaction with one of our listed properties. The platform is global. We will begin operations in North America and Europe and then
4
eventually operate in South America and Asia. This launch was delayed due to capital needs, but the model is operational and can be taken to market quickly upon financing from our effective equity line of credit.
Global Hemp Services LLC is a low risk and low-cost participation in the fast-growing Hemp and CBD market space. We have licensed out our fully functional ecommerce platform in exchange for a 15% equity position and 2.5% revenue share, with exclusive rights to purchase an additional 36% of the equity (for a total of 51%) upon reaching revenue benchmarks. Global Hemp Services LLC distributes Hemp and CBD products globally, including Hemp based building materials, textiles, plastics, paper, personal care items and various CBD products. They will distribute wholesale to shops and stores and retail directly to consumers. The model is starting to form a marketplace and as the interest in Hemp and Hemp products escalates, the website is seeing more activity. We expect good things in the fiscal year 2024 from GHS.
Lollipop NFT will have a new name and will now be known as Valida. We have changed the model initially presented for Lollipop. Formerly an online marketplace, consignment store, creator platform, and wallet, it is now intended to be what we call a super wallet. It is non-custodial and will be able to be connected through API directly to various marketplaces of the user’s choice. We will focus on storing and sharing of NFTs that represent practical use. For example, we will focus on Driver’s licenses, Diplomas, Real Estate escrow documents and title. The storage and ability to reference these valuable NFT documents as well as collections of NFT for storage will be available as the core model. The wallet will be a digital wallet, with cold storage for security. Once completed the system code will be audited by a third-party auditor and there will be multiple security daemons to monitor account login and asset transfers to protect the user. We have completed the design and preliminary development phase of this project, but have not yet begun writing the code. We plan to use the Polygon blockchain to create the wallet and have also lined up tech support with Polygon. We anticipate having a cold wallet system that allows the users to transfer between storage and active modes and plan to include 2FA, fingerprint and/or facial recognition technology. We plan to have multiple additional security daemons that review account holdings and prevent unauthorized transfers and withdrawals, however we may be liable for any cybersecurity breach resulting in the loss of customer assets. We plan to have multiple additional security daemons that review account holdings and prevent unauthorized transfers and withdrawals. The main focus of our user base will be practical use NFTs. We believe this is the future best use scenario for NFTs. This is what we believe will set us apart from those systems designed to buy and sell digital art and items that may be considered securities. We expect users to store their important documents and certifications in files. An example is we will allow universities to bulk upload diplomas into the system that will be an image of the certificate with the graduate’s name in place. The Meta Data will show in a border area that discloses the name of the University, the degree, date of issue and an official University stamp. The User will have the option of receiving the NFT version by registering and then using a code provided by the school to download the diploma NFT into the wallet. This would also apply to Driver’s licenses issued by State DMVs, Real Estate Broker licenses, Wills and other important legal documents, Escrow or Title paperwork. We are not intending on blocking people from storing other types of NFTs, but our format and storage UI is not appealing to those collecting digital art. Our interface will resemble a windows filing system. It is tailored to cater to file storage for the practical use type.
Our DRINX project is in early stage of development, and we believe the beta version will be ready by the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. DRINX app allows anyone to purchase a virtual drink ticket anywhere and at any time for friends and colleagues. We anticipate the sources of revenue will come from advertising and sponsorships from alcohol companies promoting products on the app, user fee of $0.99 to send each drink and discounts provided by the bars and restaurants for purchases made by the app.
Competition
Although there are countless app and website developers and companies out there, we believe we have advantages over competitors. First our dual location of offices. Our business, management and marketing based in the U.S and our development team is located in Shanghai. Our creative team works in both places. Access to talent at a much more reasonable cost in Shanghai allows flexibility and that allows creativity to be explored more freely and makes completing projects with new or unique features much more likely. We can also finish faster and for less money and then focus dollars on marketing and obtaining customers. Second, our planned access to investment capital and filing to trade as a public company will allow us to not only build and develop our own concepts and ideas like any other app development company, but we will also be able to explore opportunities to invest in and participate in the growth
5
and development of other companies that are not our own in-house projects, which will hopefully give us the advantage of accelerated growth.
Marketing Strategy
Our marketing strategy is carefully built and tailored for each of our individual projects. Multiple projects in varying industries allows us to cast a wide net in attracting customers from different marketplaces globally.
Our completed project B2BCHX will be marketed as an anti-fraud or fraud prevention service when doing business with a Chinese company. The Company believes that globally, clients of Chinese businesses have no way to verify information or do a background check in a cost-effective way. B2BCHX helps prevent fraud by providing customers with a background check in an inexpensive, easy to read, one-page report. They can use the information for confidence when sending money, to verify what they have been told by the company staff or to try to track down a company that has not fulfilled the obligations to the customer.
The variations on the types of businesses we can develop allows our product to be sold across multiple market spaces. We are not limited to a single market or model.
The strategic partnerships with each of our individual in house projects are invaluable. For our Drinx app, which we plan to launch its Alpha version in the fall of 2023, Beta by winter 2024, and commercial launch in Spring 2024, we have collaborated with a well-known, long term New York City restaurateur and club owner, Lesly Bernard. His knowledge and market experience will allow New York City to be our base city in the Drinx service and expand from there. Bernard will consult and advise on the development of the look and feel of the app and will participate in the launch of the app in each city. He will lead project management and will be active in the marketing of the service. In exchange for his time and efforts, Bernard has agreed to take a minority equity position in the Drinx app. We are negotiating to bring in additional brand ambassadors and influencers including Natalia Bruschi.
We have also engaged an IR/PR team to help create marketing campaigns and create editorial content for each of our businesses as we launch. And soon OfficeHop and have paused the marketing campaign for B2BCHX to allow global factory orders to re-establish themselves post pandemic. We are currently in a soft launch of Rooster using with a well-timed and placed marketing campaign and plan to re-ignite the B2BCHX model and launch OfficeHop this fall.
Employees
We currently have one full time employee who does have a formal employment agreement. Matt Reid is technically the only employee of the Company, and he resides in Shanghai, China, Matt Reid manage the independent contractor teams of developers the Company hires. We have an engaged attorney in Shanghai to help us with the contracts and negotiations with developers and other similar items. We have multiple independent contractor team members for the Company that live and work in the US who make up our business management and executive teams. We generate no revenue in China. Our independent contractors fill positions such as Chief Legal Officer, Executive Project Director, Accountant and Investor relations manager and are all located in New York. Our Director of Marketing, PR agent and multiple lower-level independent contractors reside and work in California. Currently 100% of our revenue comes from an ecommerce platform servicing US customers and there are no current plans to buy or develop any new Chinese based business models.

Plan of Operation
Our marketing and business management/executive team operates from both Shanghai China, New York, and in San Francisco. Matt Reid is technically the only employee of the Company, and he resides in Shanghai, China, Matt Reid manages the independent contractor teams of developers the Company hires. We have engaged an attorney in Shanghai engaged to help us with the contracts and negotiations with developers and other similar items. We have multiple independent contractor team members for the Company that live and work in the US who make up our business management and executive teams. We generate no revenue in China. Our independent contractors fill positions such as Chief Legal Officer, Executive Project Director, Accountant and Investor relations manager and are all located in New York. Our Director of Marketing, PR agent and multiple lower-level independent contractors reside and work in California. Currently 100% of our revenue comes from an ecommerce platform servicing US customers and there are no current plans to buy or develop any new Chinese based business models.
We will continue to explore new concepts and opportunities to invest in projects that meet our criteria We have incurred expenses and operating losses, as part of our activities in developing e-commerce platforms, B2BCHX, OFFICEHOP, ROOSTER ESSENTIALS, Valida and Global Hemp Service LLC. The capital we raise will go into marketing, acquisitions, and revenue generation. We believe this will take our vision forward and to the next level.
The APPlife Digital Solutions business model is two-fold. First, is to market our current in-house developed projects ecommerce and cloud based business over the next year, work to add partnerships and to add additional in-house developed projects. We plan to engage multiple resources such as adding staff, create partnerships, and as capital becomes available, to market and grow revenue.
The second, but equally important part of our business model is to target acquisitions and projects that can be assisted by our marketing and capitalization capabilities where we can play an active role in the project’s success and make the acquisitions to add to our revenue stream. We seek acquisition targets that have a model that fits our vision and area of interest, is currently generating revenue with room for growth and a strong management team that will stay on board and continue to operate the entity post-acquisition. We have signed an asset purchase agreement to buy the assets around the operations of an online beauty company with revenue.
Our current projects:
B2BCHX is our first fully developed app that is available in Google Play and a functioning ecommerce and mobile website. B2BCHX allows business owners around the world to order three levels of background checks in English on Chinese companies to prevent fraudulent business transactions, to gather information in order to gain confidence when doing business with a Chinese entity or to pursue legal remedy against fraudulent Chinese Company. The reports are researched and written by a licensed law firm in Shanghai China in a partnership agreement with B2BCHX. These reports are not auto generated and are carefully researched to give our users the most accurate information. The retail price for each report is $79, $399 and $1299. The partnership with the law firm is on a 20% revenue share, which leaves B2BCHX an 80% per report profit margin to cover development expenses, maintenance and profit. We are waiting for a temporary law change that will allow the attorney to send information on Chinese entities overseas.
ROOSTER ESSENTIALS ecommerce website, has been operations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 and launched its full commercial operations in the second quarter of 2022. ROOSTER ESSENTIALS is an online men’s grooming supply store, and it allows men to fully customize which products they receive and set up an auto-delivery schedule for each product for automatic recurring delivery.

Results of Operations
Revenue
For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we generated revenues of $6,976 and $46,879, respectively. The Company has been in the process of marketing and developing its apps, hiring developers and coders, incurring professional fees for registering its common stock and identifying other apps and partnerships to generate revenues as the Company expands its operations.
Operating Loss
For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we had an operating loss of $4,956,905 and $3,130,998, respectively. The operating loss was due primarily to stock compensation to the CEO of $3,920,685, and professional, consulting and legal fees of $491,966.
Other Income/Expense
For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we had other expenses, net of $93,691 and $365,575, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the $147,266 gain on change in the fair value of the derivative liability (Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and a $417,526 gain on termination of conversion feature on debt.
Net loss
We reported a net loss of $5,050,596 and $3,496,573 for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The net loss for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included noncash expenses of $4,388,498 and $2,646,230, respectively.

We anticipate generating losses and, therefore, may be unable to continue operations in the future. We expected to require additional capital, and we will have to issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. The current liabilities of $2,254,187 include $728,351 of derivative liabilities which relate to the convertible notes payable and stock options. Upon exercise of the stock options and settlement of notes payable, the derivative liability will be reclassified as equity.
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has minimal revenue generating operations and has an accumulated deficit of $21,925,000 and $16,874,404 as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition, the Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company anticipates additional equity financing to fund operations in the future. Should management fail to adequately address the issue, the Company may have to reduce its business activities or curtail its operations.

Our cash balance was $22,894 on June 30, 2024. We recorded a net loss of $5,050,596 for the year ended June 30, 2024. We expect our expenses will continue to increase during the foreseeable future as a result of increased operations and the development of our apps and business operations. We anticipate generating revenues with our B2BCHX app, but only minimal revenues for our other apps over the next twelve months. Consequently, we are dependent on the proceeds from future debt or equity investments to sustain our operations and implement our business plan. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, we will be required to delay or forego some portion of our business plan, which would have a material adverse effect on our anticipated results from operations and consolidated financial condition. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary amounts of capital or that our estimates of our capital requirements will prove to be accurate.
We presently do not have any significant credit available, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to our operating losses, our operations have not been a source of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding.
To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities may result in dilution to existing stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock and the terms of such debt could impose restrictions on our operations. Regardless of whether our cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet our operational needs, we may seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash, which may also result in dilution to existing shareholders. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing.
No assurance can be given that sources of financing will be available to us and/or that demand for our equity/debt instruments will be sufficient to meet our capital needs, or that financing will be available on terms favorable to us. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or may be required to reduce the scope of our planned marketing efforts and development of our apps, any of which could have a negative impact on our business and operating results. In addition, insufficient funding may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, which could require us to:
·Curtail the development of our apps,
·Seek strategic partnerships that may force us to relinquish significant rights to our apps, or
·Explore potential mergers or sales of significant assets of our Company.
Operating Activities
During the year ended June 30, 2024, cash used in the Company’s operating activities amounted to $372,225 mainly composed of the Company’s net loss amounting to $5,050,596, adding back the (1) net effect of noncash adjustments of stock compensation expense, amortization of discount from notes payable, interest expense, common stock issuances, change in fair value of derivative liability and common stock payable amounting to $4,388,498 and (2) net changes in working capital accounts of $289,873.
During the year ended June 30, 2023, cash used in the Company’s operating activities amounted to $677,614 mainly composed of the Company’s net loss amounting to $3,496,573, adding back the (1) net effect of noncash adjustments of stock compensation expense, amortization of discount from notes payable, interest expense, common stock
11
issuances, change in fair value of derivative liability, common stock payable and gain on settlement of debt amounting to $2,646,230 and (2) net changes in working capital accounts of $172,729.
Investing Activities
During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company had invested $100,000 related to the LeSalon acquisition.
During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company had $0 net cash used in investing activities.
Financing Activities
During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company raised $370,000 from the issuance of debt, and received $67,500 of amounts due to officer.
During the year ended June 30, 2023, the Company raised $545,000 from the issuance of debt, and received $1,000 of amounts due to officer.
Professional Fees
Professional fees were $223,103 and $226,783 for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company generally expects professional fee costs to increase as the Company is a public reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which requires that it maintain relationships with both PCAOB registered audit firms and securities counsel to assist with the SEC reporting requirements.
In addition, the Company may also attempt to purchase other entities or assets and operations of other entities if the advantageous situation presents itself. This could require the Company to incur substantial professional fees.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K, describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material.
Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue recognition, determination of fair value of stock-based compensation and determination of the fair value of the conversion feature of the convertible notes. Management considers these policies critical because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and operating results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters. The Company’s management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue from the sale of products and services in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue from product sales is recorded at the net sales price, or “transaction price,” which includes coupons, discounts, and processing fees. The Company constrains revenue by considering factors that could otherwise lead to
12
a probable reversal of revenue. Collectability of revenue is reasonably assured based on historical evidence of collectability between the Company and its customers.
We offer consumer products through our website. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon shipment to the customer.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provision of FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on the estimated grant date fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505, Equity–based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505”). Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Derivative Liability
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires all derivatives to be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. As of June 30, 2024, we used the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) model to estimate the fair value of the conversion feature of the convertible note. Key assumptions of the BSM model include the market price of our stock, the conversion price of the debt, applicable volatility rates, risk-free interest rates and the instrument’s remaining term. These assumptions require significant management judgment. In addition, changes in any of these variables during a period can result in material changes in the fair value (and resultant gains or losses) of this derivative instrument.
Seasonality
We do not expect our sales to be impacted by seasonal demands for our products and services.
We are susceptible to general economic conditions, natural catastrophic events and public health crises, and a potential downturn in advertising and marketing spending by advertisers could adversely affect our operating results in the near future.
Our business is subject to the impact of natural catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, or floods, public health crisis, such as disease outbreaks, epidemics, or pandemics, and all these could result in a decrease or sharp downturn of economies, including our markets and business locations in the current and future periods. The outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) resulted in increased travel restrictions, and shutdown of businesses, which may cause slower recovery of the economy. We may experience impact from quarantines, market downturns and changes in customer behavior related to pandemic fears and impact on our workforce if the virus continues to spread. In addition, one or more of our customers, partners, service providers or suppliers may experience financial distress, delayed or defaults on payment, file for bankruptcy protection, sharp diminishing of business, or suffer disruptions in their business due to the outbreak. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our results will depend on future developments and reactions throughout the world, which are highly uncertain and will include emerging information concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken by governments and private businesses to attempt to contain the coronavirus. It is likely to result in a potential material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Wider-spread COVID-19 globally could prolong the deterioration in economic conditions and could cause decreases in or delays in advertising spending and reduce and/or negatively impact our short-term ability to grow our revenues. Any decreased collectability of accounts receivable, bankruptcy of small and medium
13
businesses, or early termination of agreements due to deterioration in economic conditions could negatively impact our results of operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
Applife Digital Solutions, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Applife Digital Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and will require additional capital to fund its current operating plan. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated 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 audits. 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 audit 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
The critical audit matters communicated below 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. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion
F-1
on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
/s/
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Organization, Going Concern and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
APPlife Digital Solutions Inc. (the “Company”) is a business incubator and portfolio manager that uses digital technology to create and invest in e-commerce and cloud-based solutions. The Company was formed March 5, 2018 in Nevada and has a virtual office in San Francisco, California and the only employee works form Shanghai, China. Our office in San Francisco, California allows us to take advantage of the marketing opportunities available in the United States as well as keeping close proximity to sources of capital whether it is debt or equity. Our operations in Shanghai, China allows us to take advantage of a high concentration of skilled tech coders and developers at lower capital costs than in more developed countries such as the United States or Europe. The Company’s mission is using digital technology to create APPs and websites that make life, business and living easier, more efficient and just smarter.
Rooster Essentials APP SPV, LLC (the “Rooster”), incorporated on April 9, 2019, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Rooster is a fully customizable men’s subscription service that delivers daily use grooming needs and essential items.
B2BCHX SPV LLC (the “B2BCHX”), incorporated on June 5, 2019, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. B2BCHX does an independent background check on mainland Chinese companies for small businesses globally.
Office Hop, incorporated on January 28, 2021, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Office Hop is a global sharing model platform for short term rentals of office and meeting rooms. Users can find an office or conference space for half-day, full-day, or weekly rental. Hosts can list their spare office or meeting rooms.
Going Concern
The Company has generated losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company has historically financed its operations from equity financing. The Company anticipates additional equity financings to fund operations in the future. Should management fail to adequately address the issue, the Company may have to reduce its business activities or curtail its operations. There can be no assurance that any additional financings, would be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions if at all. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and classification of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash equivalents to include cash and investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
F-7
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted guidance issued by the FASB that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not and a measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In making this assessment, a company must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position and must assume that the tax position will be examined by taxing authorities. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties as of June 30, 2024. The Company files income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the state of California.
Use of Estimates
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the consolidated financial statements include estimates by management in the valuation of certain assets and liabilities. Significant matters requiring the use of estimates and assumptions include, but are not necessarily limited to, fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, BCF (Beneficial Conversion Feature) liabilities feature of convertible debt, derivate liabilities, and valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Management uses its historical records and knowledge of its business in making these estimates. Management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, based on information that is available at the time they are made. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and services in accordance with ASC 606, ”Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provision of FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on the estimated grant date fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505, Equity–based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505”). Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Net Loss per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, increased by potentially dilutive common shares (“dilutive securities”) that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities include stock options and warrants granted, convertible debt, and convertible preferred stock. The conversion features on convertible notes, the stock options outstanding and potentially dilutive. Diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share as the potential dilutive shares are considered to be anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
F-8
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) to measure and disclosure the fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:
Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Derivative Liability
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires all derivatives to be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. As of June 30, 2024, we used the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) model to estimate the fair value of the conversion feature of the convertible note. Key assumptions of the BSM model include the market price of our stock, the conversion price of the debt, applicable volatility rates, risk-free interest rates and the instrument’s remaining term. These assumptions require significant management judgment. In addition, changes in any of these variables during a period can result in material changes in the fair value (and resultant gains or losses) of this derivative instrument.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process and products available for sale, are primarily accounted for using the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”), and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. This valuation requires management to make judgements based on currently available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers and returns to product vendors. As of June 30, 2024, the Company wrote off all inventory using the allowance method. Total inventory as of June 30, 2024, net of allowance for inventory reserves was $0.
Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The standard will become effective for the Company for financial statements periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this on July 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-03, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120, which adds interpretive guidance for public companies to consider when entering into share-based payment transactions while in possession of material non-public information. The effective date of this update is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance addresses investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are assessing the impact of this guidance on our disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The amendments in ASU No. 2020-06 simplify the complexity associated with applying GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. More specifically, the amendments focus on the guidance for convertible instruments and derivative scope exceptions for contracts in an entity’s own equity. For smaller reporting companies ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect its application to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07—Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. All public entities will be required to report segment information in accordance with the new guidance starting in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company expects to enhance annual segment reporting disclosures based on new requirements.
Other accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective are not believed by management to be relevant or to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Note 9 – Derivative Liability
The Company issued debts that consist of the issuance of convertible notes with variable conversion provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the promissory note is indeterminate. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Embedded Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion options and shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date and revalued at each reporting period.
A summary of quantitative information with respect to valuation methodology and significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s common stock purchase warrants that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the year ended June 30, 2024 is as follows:

The foregoing assumptions are reviewed quarterly and are subject to change based primarily on management’s assessment of the probability of the events described occurring. Accordingly, changes to these assessments could materially affect the valuations.

The fair value accounting standards define fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value measurements are rated on a three-tier hierarchy as follows:
| · | Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
|
|
|
| · | Level 2 inputs: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
|
|
|
| · | Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
In the year ending June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a decrease in fair value of derivative liability of $
In the year ending June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a decrease in fair value of derivative liability of $

Note 10 – Income Taxes
The Company files corporate income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in Delaware. Since the Company incurred net operating losses in every tax year since inception, the 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 income tax returns are subject to examination and adjustments by the IRS for at least three years following the year in which the tax attributes are utilized.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of $
Other than minimum taxes, the company does not incur a provision for income taxes because the Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due
F-16
to the uncertainty surrounding the realizability of the benefit, based on a more likely than not criteria and in consideration of available positive and negative evidence.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following:

ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
There are no reportable events under this Item for the year ended June 30, 2024.
ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024, due to the material weaknesses resulting from the Board of Directors not currently having any members who qualify as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management has also evaluated our internal control over financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of our last evaluation.
The Company is not required by current SEC rules to include, and does not include, an auditor's attestation report. The Company's registered public accounting firm has not attested to Management's reports on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. Other Information

There are no proceedings in which our director, officer or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

Board Composition
Our By-Laws provide that the Board of Directors which shall constitute the whole board shall not be less than one (1) nor more than seven (7) or such other maximum number of directors as permitted by the Nevada General Corporation Law. The maximum or minimum number of directors cannot be changed, nor can a fixed number be substituted for the maximum and minimum numbers, except by a duly adopted amendment to the articles of incorporation or by an amendment to this bylaw.
No Committees of the Board of Directors; No Financial Expert
We do not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of our Board of Directors. Nor do we have an audit committee or financial expert. Management has decided not to establish an audit committee at present because our limited resources and limited operating activities do not warrant the formation of an audit committee or the expense of doing so. As such, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee. We do not have a financial expert serving on the Board of Directors or employed as an officer based on management’s belief that the cost of obtaining the services of a person who meets the criteria for a financial expert under Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K is beyond our limited financial resources and the financial skills of such an expert are simply not required or necessary for us to maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting in light of the limited scope and simplicity of accounting issues raised in our financial statements at this stage of our development.
Auditors
Our principal registered independent auditor is RBSM LLP
Code of Ethics
The Company does not have a written code of ethics that applies to the Company’s officers.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
Since 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. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executives or directors.
Director Independence
Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities. As a result of this review, our board of directors determined that Don Savant, Tracy Gray and Sid Ganis are independent directors.
Involvement in Legal Proceedings
None of our officers or directors has filed a personal bankruptcy petition, had a bankruptcy petition filed against any business of which they were a general partner or officer at the time of bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time, or has been convicted of or been the subject of any criminal proceedings or the subject of any order, judgment or decree involving the violation of any state or federal securities laws within the past ten (10) years.
17
Compliance with Section 16(a) Of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of that act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.
ITEM 11. Executive Compensation
Summary Compensation
Our sole officer and director does not currently take any formal salary for his services to the Company. He was issued 12,239,209 founders shares at inception, and on September 27, 2018, he was issued 90,000,000 shares for his services to be rendered over the next four years.
Outstanding Equity Awards
Our directors and officers do not have unexercised options, stock that has not vested, or equity incentive plan awards.
Compensation of Directors
Our directors do not receive compensation for their services as directors.

ITEM 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Director Independence
Our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or on any inter-dealer quotation system which has a requirement that a majority of directors be independent. Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director by the standards for director independence set forth in the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. Under these rules, an independent director is one who is not an executive officer or an employee of the company and who does not have a relationship that, in the opinion of the board of directors, would interfere with exercising independent judgment in carrying out a director’s responsibilities. Our board of directors has determined that three of our directors qualify as independent directors.
