In exchange with such license, the Company issued to GOLQ such number of shares of Company common stock that represents 19.99% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company common stock on the business day prior to the effective date or 392,155 shares (see Note 5).

Under the Amendment, the Company and GOLQ agreed to and added Section 3.3 to further detail technical assistance from GOLQ to the Company. In addition, Section 5.1 was amended such that the royalty was lowered from eight percent (8%) to five percent (5%) for which the Company granted to GOLQ a warrant to purchase two hundred ninety-two thousand (292,000) shares of Company Common Stock (the “Warrant”) for a price equal to $0.01 per share (the “Exercise Price”).

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures contained in these condensed financial statements are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nixxy Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) 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 and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. Included in these estimates are assumptions used to estimate collection of accounts receivable, fair value of marketable securities, fair value of assets acquired in asset acquisitions and the estimated useful life of assets acquired, fair value of warrant liabilities, fair value of securities issued in asset acquisitions, fair value of intangible assets and goodwill, fair value of capitalized software, fair value of non-monetary transactions, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, and valuation of stock-based compensation expense.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with a remaining
maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial
institutions, and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these
balances as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had $
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied. We generate revenue from the following activities:
|
·
|
Auralink: In 2025, the Company, through its Auralink AI subsidiary, refocused operations on telecommunications by leveraging newly acquired intellectual property and technology from Savitr. Auralink operates a cloud-based communications platform that provides routing, billing, and management services for high-volume SMS and Voice-over-IP (VoiceIP) communications. The telecommunications portfolio includes voice and messaging interconnect services, operator software, and wholesale voice services, including Turnkey Outsourced Switching (TKOS). Auralink generates revenue from providing messaging and voice termination services, primarily under bilateral carrier agreements. These agreements govern both sending and receiving communications traffic and are based on contractual “Rate Decks” which define per-message or per-minute pricing by destination and time of delivery. |
| 9 |
| Auralink generates revenue from the delivery of messaging and voice termination services. These services are provided under bilateral agreements with telecommunications partners, which establish pricing per destination and time of delivery through contractual rate decks. Depending on the specific route and agreement, Auralink may act as both a supplier (terminating traffic) and a customer (originating traffic). While traffic settlements under these agreements may occur on a net basis for operational efficiency, each component of traffic is governed by distinct pricing and service-level obligations. The Company exercises control over the delivery of these services and assumes the associated performance obligations, including routing decisions, delivery quality, and pricing. As such, and in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Auralink recognizes gross revenue for these services at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer, typically when a voice call is successfully terminated, or a message is delivered. |
| · |
Marketplace: Our “Marketplace” category comprises services for businesses and individuals that leverage our online presence. For businesses, this includes sponsorship of digital newsletters, online content promotion, social media distribution, banner advertising, and other branded electronic communications, such as in our quarterly digital publication on recruiting trends and issues. We earn revenue as we complete agreed upon marketing related deliverables and milestones using pricing and terms set by mutual agreement with the customer. In some cases, we earn a percent of revenue a business receives from attracting new clients by advertising on our online platform. Businesses can also pay us to post job openings on our proprietary job boards to promote open job positions they are trying to fill. In addition to its work with direct clients, we categorize all online advertising and affiliate marketing revenue as Marketplace. For individuals, Marketplace includes services to assist with career development and advancement, including a resume distribution service which involves promoting these job seekers’ profiles and resumes to assist with their procuring employment, and upskilling and training. Our resume distribution service allows a job seeker to upload his/her resume to our database, which we then distribute to our network of recruiters on the Platform. We earn revenue from a one-time flat fee for this service. We also offer a recruiter certification program which encompasses our recruitment related training content, which we make accessible through our online learning management system. Customers of the recruiter certification program use a self-managed system to navigate through a digital course of study. Upon completion of the program, we issue a certificate of completion and make available a digital badge to certify their achievement for display on their online recruiter profile on the Platform. Additionally, we partner with Careerdash, a high-quality training company, to provide Recruiter.com Academy, an immersive training experience for career changers. |
| · | Consulting and Staffing: Consists of providing consulting and staffing personnel services to employers to satisfy their demand for long- and short-term consulting and temporary employee needs. We generate revenue by first referring qualified personnel for the employer’s specific talent needs, then placing such personnel with the employer, but with our providers acting as the employer of record for us, and finally, billing the employer for the time and work of our placed personnel on an ongoing basis. Our process for finding candidates for consulting and staffing engagements largely mirrors our process for full-time placement hiring. This process includes employers informing us of open consulting and temporary staffing opportunities and projects, sourcing qualified candidates through the Platform and other similar means, and, finally, the employer selecting our candidates for placement after a process of review and selection. We bill these employer clients for our placed candidates’ ongoing work at an agreed-upon, time-based rate, typically on a weekly schedule of invoicing. |
Revenues as presented on the consolidated statements of operations represent services rendered to customers less sales adjustments and allowances.
Marketplace advertising revenues are recognized on a gross basis when the advertising is placed and displayed or when lead generation activities and online publications are completed, which is the point at which the performance obligations are satisfied. Payments for marketing and publishing are typically due within 30 days of completion of services. Job posting revenue is recognized at the end of the period the job is posted. Marketplace career services revenues are recognized on a gross basis upon distribution of resumes or completion of training courses, which is the point at which the performance obligations are satisfied. Payments for career services are typically due upon distribution or completion of services.
Consulting and Staffing Services revenues represent services rendered to customers less sales adjustments and allowances. Reimbursements, including those related to travel and out-of-pocket expenses, are also included in the net service revenues and equivalent amounts of reimbursable expenses are included in costs of revenue. We record substantially all revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of this line of revenues and expenses. We have concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because we have the task of identifying and hiring qualified employees, and our discretion to select the employees and establish their compensation and duties causes us to bear the risk for services that are not fully paid for by customers. Consulting and staffing revenues are recognized when the services are rendered by the temporary employees. We assume the risk of the acceptability of the employees to customers. Payments for consulting and staffing services are typically due within 90 days of completion of services.

Auralink’s primary performance obligations consist of SMS and VoiceIP transmission services. Each message or call is a distinct transaction, and revenue is recognized at the point in time when delivery is confirmed by the recipient carrier’s platform. These services are priced using dynamic Rate Decks, which vary by destination and time. The transaction price is allocated to each message or call based on its standalone selling price as reflected in the applicable Rate Deck. Auralink acts as principal in these transactions, as it controls the routing infrastructure, sets pricing, assumes delivery risk, and bears responsibility for service quality. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis.
Contracts typically span one year and include early termination provisions. Settlements with counterparties are usually conducted on a net basis using reconciled call detail records.
Contract liabilities result from transactions in which we have been paid for services by customers, but for which all revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the contract liabilities are recognized.
Sales tax collected is recorded on a net basis and is excluded from revenue.
Contract Assets
The Company does not have any contract assets. All trade receivables on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet are from contracts with customers.
Contract Costs
Costs incurred to obtain a contract are capitalized
unless they are short term in nature. As a practical matter, costs to obtain a contract that are short term in nature are expensed as
incurred. The Company does
Contract Liabilities
The Company’s contract liabilities consist of advanced customer payments and deferred revenue. Deferred revenue results from transactions in which the Company has been paid for services by customers, but for which all revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the deferred revenues are recognized.

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue in 2024 consisted of employee costs, third party staffing costs and other fees, outsourced recruiter fees and commissions based on a percentage of Recruiting Solutions gross margin. In 2025 cost of revenue consisted entirely of Auralink related technology and supply costs.
Accounts Receivable
Credit is extended to customers based on an
evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable
and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Any required allowance is based on specific
analysis of past due accounts and also considers historical trends of write-offs. Past due status is based on how recently payments
have been received from customers. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is
made. The Company usually does not require collateral. We have recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized over an asset’s estimated useful life using the straight-line method beginning
on the date an asset is placed in service. The Company regularly evaluates the estimated remaining useful lives of the Company’s
property and equipment to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of depreciation.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024 was

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures and discloses the fair value of assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a hierarchical framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure.
ASC 825 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 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 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets to which we have access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company’s investment in available for sale securities and warrant derivative liabilities are measured at fair value. The securities are measured based on current trading prices using Level 1 fair value inputs. The Company’s derivative instruments are valued using Level 3 fair value inputs. In fair valuing these instruments, the income valuation approach is applied, and the valuation inputs include the contingent payment arrangement terms, projected revenues and cash flows, rate of return, and probability assessments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable represent fair value based upon their short-term nature.
| 13 |
A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The tables below summarize the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024:

Business Combinations
For all business combinations (whether partial, full or step acquisitions), the Company records 100% of all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, generally at their fair values with any excess of purchase price over the net assets 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. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date, such as earn-outs, 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. The increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration can result from changes in anticipated revenue levels and changes in assumed discount periods and rates.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of the assets acquired from Genesys in the third quarter of 2019, including customer contracts and intellectual property, the assets acquired from Scouted and Upsider during the first quarter of 2021, the assets acquired from OneWire during the second quarter of 2021, the assets acquired from Parrut and Novo Group during the third quarter of 2021, the assets acquired from GoLogiq in February of 2024, and the assets acquired Aqua Software, Wizco, and Savitr in 2025. Amortization expense is recorded on the straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives.
Goodwill
Goodwill is comprised of the purchase price of business combinations in excess of the fair value assigned at acquisition to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment for its reporting units on an annual basis, or when events occur, or circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value.
The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment on December 31st of each year or as impairment indicators dictate (see Note 5).
When evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill, management first assess a range of qualitative factors, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for the Company’s products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel, and the overall financial performance for each of the Company’s reporting units. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we then proceed to the quantitative impairment testing methodology.
Under the quantitative method we compare the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, with its fair value, as determined using an appropriate valuation method. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of impairment to be recognized is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value.
| 15 |
When required, we may arrive at our estimates of fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology which includes estimates of future cash flows to be generated by specifically identified assets, as well as selecting a discount rate to measure the present value of those anticipated cash flows. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and includes making assumptions about projected growth rates, industry-specific factors, working capital requirements, weighted average cost of capital, and current and anticipated operating conditions. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce different results.
Long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. When impairment indicators exist, the Company estimates the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the remaining life of the asset in measuring whether the long-lived asset should be written down to fair value. Measurement of the amount of impairment would be based on generally accepted valuation methodologies, as deemed appropriate. If the carrying amount is greater than the undiscounted cash flows, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to the asset’s fair value. An impairment loss is recognized immediately as an operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Reversal of previously recorded impairment losses are prohibited (see Note 5).
Marketable Securities
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The unrealized gain (loss) on the marketable securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, has been included in a separate line item on the statement of operations, Gain (Loss) on change in fair value of Marketable Securities.
Software Costs
We capitalize certain software development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is probable that the software will be used as intended. Capitalization ceases after the software is operational; however, certain upgrades and enhancements may be capitalized if they add functionality. Capitalized software costs include only (i) external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining software, (ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the software project and (iii) interest costs incurred while developing internal-use software.
Income Taxes
We utilize ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position in the financial statements only if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Our practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties, if any, related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
| 16 |
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 its 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.
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.”
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.
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842)” whereby lessees need to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019, using the effective date method and applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected not to reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, and (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company will assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment will be based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.

Product Development
Product development costs are included in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and consist of support, maintenance and upgrades of our website and IT platform and are charged to operations as incurred.
The Company follows ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (or loss) per share. Basic earnings (or loss) per share are computed by dividing earnings (or loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (or loss) per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares of common stock had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted earnings (or loss) per share computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents in amounts of and were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.

Business Segments
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and relied upon when making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. When evaluating the Company’s financial performance, the CODM reviews total revenues, total expenses, and expenses by functional classification, using this information to make decisions on a company-wide basis.
The Company currently operates in two reportable segments pertaining to job placement, recruiting activities, and telecommunications. The CODM for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). The Company’s CEO reviews operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the Company’s operations as a whole for the purpose of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has two reportable segments based on business unit. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.
Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests (“NCI”) reflect the portion of income or loss and the corresponding equity attributable to third-party equity holders in certain consolidated subsidiaries that are not 100% owned by the Company. Non-controlling interests are presented as separate components of stockholders’ equity on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets to clearly distinguish between the Company’s interests and the economic interests of third parties in those entities. Net loss attributable to the Company, as reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, is presented net of the portion of net loss attributable to holders of non-controlling interests.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09-Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily by amending disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, and retrospective application is permitted. ASU 2023-09 is effective January 1, 2025.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires entities to provide more detailed disaggregation of expenses in the income statement, focusing on the nature of the expenses rather than their function. The new disclosures will require entities to separately present expenses for significant line items, including but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, and employee compensation. Entities will also be required to provide a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, provide a definition of what constitutes selling expenses. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
Management believes it may not have sufficient cash to fund its liabilities and operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities
and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company’s management has evaluated whether there is substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and has determined that substantial doubt existed as of the date of the end
of the period covered by this report. This determination was based on the following factors: (i) the Company used cash of approximately
$ million
in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and has a working capital deficit of approximately $
The Company expects but cannot guarantee that demand or our profit margins for marketplace solutions and telecommunication services will improve in 2025. These conditions will affect the company’s overall business and potentially the results of its revenue share and transactions with other third parties. Overall, management is focused on its strategic transactions and effectively positioning the Company for a pivot based on the GoLogiq license and planned spin-out to Atlantic Energy Solutions.
The Company may depend on raising additional debt or equity capital to stay operational. Economic conditions may make it more difficult for the Company to raise additional capital when needed. The terms of any financing, if the Company is able to complete one, will likely not be favorable to the Company.

Intangible Assets
On February 23, 2024, the Company entered into a certain Technology License and Commercialization Agreement with GoLogiq, Inc. (the “GOLQ”) that supersedes and replaces in its entirety the GOLQ Agreement, as amended by the August 29, 2023, Amendment and the August 18, 2023, Amendment. Under the GOLQ Licensing Agreement, GOLQ grants the Company a worldwide, exclusive license to the Company to develop its fintech technology and sell products derived thereof, including its Createapp, Paylogiq, Gologiq, and Radix AI technology and products, for a term of 10 years, with automatic two-year renewals.
On March 7, 2024, the Company appointed the CEO and Director of GOLQ to be the new Chief Executive Officer and President. On December 21, 2024, he resigned from his position as member of the Board of Directors of Nixxy, Inc. His resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company (See Note 10).
On March 28, 2024, the Company and GOLQ entered
into an Amendment to the Technology License and Commercialization Agreement to decrease the future royalty from eight percent to five
percent for which the Company agreed to grant GOLQ a warrant to purchase 292,000 shares of Company common stock for a price equal to
$0.01 per share. As a result of this transaction the company issued GOLQ
shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $

As of March 31, 2025, the total cost basis in
the intangible asset purchased from Savitr is $
Based on guidance provided by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the Company has recorded the asset purchase as an asset acquisition because the Company determined that substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired was concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets. The Company believes the “substantially all” criterion was met with respect to the acquired intellectual property (i.e., technology stack, patents, patent applications, and patent applications to be written). Accordingly, the Company accounted for the acquisition of the purchased net assets as an asset acquisition.
On March 3, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Wizco Group, Inc., pursuant to which the Company purchased an AI-powered interview coaching platform (the “Ava” assets). Based on guidance provided by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the Company has recorded the Ava asset purchase as an asset acquisition because the Company determined that substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired was concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets. The Company believes the “substantially all” criterion was met with respect to the acquired intellectual property (i.e., technology stack, patents, patent applications, and patent applications to be written). Accordingly, the Company accounted for the acquisition of the purchased net assets as an asset acquisition.
In exchange for the acquired assets, on
behalf of AESO, the Company paid the Wizco Group, Inc. (i)
shares of Atlantic Energy Solutions, Inc. (“AESO”) common stock, and
(ii) agreed to issue additional shares of AESO if the value of the stock consideration declines below a value of $250,000 after one
year of the Closing Date (based on the 30-day VWAP at the end of the one-year period). Based on the trading price of AESO’s
common stock on March 3, 2025, the fair value of the equity consideration transferred was determined to be $
In connection with the Ava acquisition, on behalf of its subsidiary AESO, the Company entered into a services agreement with the former owners of Ava for continued advisory services for one year. The Company determined these services are for the future benefit of the Company, and the services agreement is separate from the Ava acquisition. Compensation under the services agreement will be accounted for as stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718. Under the advisory agreement, the Company issued shares of AESO common stock, in the aggregate, vesting as follows 1) 6,666,666 vests immediately, 2) 13,333,334 vests quarterly over one year in equal installments. In the event the value of the vested stock given to each of the Advisors declines below a value of $150,000 after one year of the Closing Date (based on the 30-day VWAP at the end of the one-year period), the Company shall issue additional AESO shares to the former owners to make up the entire difference in value or shall have the option of providing an equivalent amount in cash.
As of March 31, 2025, the total cost basis of intangible asset purchased from Wizco is $250,000 with an accumulated amortization of $3,973 and a net carrying value of $246,027.
On March 28, 2025, the Company entered into and closed that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Aqua APA” or the “Agreement”) with Aqua Software Technologies Inc., a private Canadian corporation (“Aqua Software Technologies”), pursuant to which Nixxy agreed to acquire certain assets related to billing and AI systems, including associated intellectual property (the “Acquisition”). Aqua Software Technologies specializes in telecommunications and software development, with a focus on billings systems, AI integration, wholesale long distance interconnections and sales. Pursuant to the APA, Nixxy acquired substantially all of Aqua Software Technologies’ assets related to billing and AI systems.

NOTE 11 – SEGMENT REPORTING
Beginning in the current quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company has two reportable segments, which are aligned with its internal organizational structure and reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, segments are defined based on the manner in which financial information is evaluated by the CODM for resource allocation and performance assessment.
The Company’s reportable segments are as follows:
Auralink — Provider of private telecommunications solutions and proprietary billing services.
Nixxy — Provider of marketplace advertising and software subscription services.
All material operating units within each segment have been aggregated as they share similar economic characteristics, customer types, nature of products and services, and processes for procurement and delivery. The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment operating loss, which includes gross profit less direct research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses that are specifically attributable to each segment. Items below loss from operations, such as interest and taxes, and all balance sheet data are not allocated to segments, as they are not used by the CODM.
The tables below present segment information reconciled to total Company loss from operations, with segment operating loss including gross profit less direct research and development expenses and direct selling, general and administrative expenses to the extent specifically identified by segment:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”). In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025.
For purposes of this Quarterly Report, “Nixxy,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or similar references refers to Nixxy, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.
Overview
Nixxy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (along with its subsidiaries, “we”, “the Company”, “us”, and “our”), is a holding company that, through its subsidiaries, operates recruitment and career-related software platforms. Historically, the Company offered additional recruitment-related services, including on-demand contract recruitment and staffing.
We have eight subsidiaries, Recruiter.com, Inc., Recruiter.com Recruiting Solutions LLC (“Recruiting Solutions”), VocaWorks, Inc. (“VocaWorks”), Recruiter.com Scouted Inc. (“Scouted”), Recruiter.com Upsider Inc. (“Upsider”), Recruiter.com OneWire Inc. (“OneWire”), and Recruiter.com Consulting, LLC (“Recruiter.com Consulting”), and Auralink AI, Inc. (“Auralink”). Additionally, the Company owns a controlling interest in Atlantic Energy Solutions, Inc., a Colorado company that is traded on the OTC Markets (OTC: AESO).
The Company is currently undergoing a strategic transformation, having sold its staffing business in 2023 and sold its Recruiter.com website in Q3 of 2024. The Company has announced plans to shift its focus, along with its license agreement with GoLogiq, and spin out the recruitment-related businesses to Atlantic Energy Solutions, which is currently undergoing a name change to CognoGroup, Inc. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete its planned spin-out and strategic transformation.
Operating Businesses and Revenue
We generate revenue or have generated from the following activities:
| · | Auralink: In 2025, the Company, through its Auralink AI subsidiary, refocused operations on telecommunications by leveraging newly acquired intellectual property and technology from Savitr. Auralink operates a cloud-based communications platform that provides routing, billing, and management services for high-volume SMS and Voice-over-IP (VoiceIP) communications. The telecommunications portfolio includes voice and messaging interconnect services, operator software, and wholesale voice services, including Turnkey Outsourced Switching (TKOS). Auralink generates revenue from providing messaging and voice termination services, primarily under bilateral carrier agreements. These agreements govern both sending and receiving communications traffic and are based on contractual “Rate Decks” which define per-message or per-minute pricing by destination and time of delivery. |
| · | Auralink generates revenue from the delivery of messaging and voice termination services. These services are provided under bilateral agreements with telecommunications partners, which establish pricing per destination and time of delivery through contractual rate decks. Depending on the specific route and agreement, Auralink may act as both a supplier (terminating traffic) and a customer (originating traffic). While traffic settlements under these agreements may occur on a net basis for operational efficiency, each component of traffic is governed by distinct pricing and service-level obligations. The Company exercises control over the delivery of these services and assumes the associated performance obligations, including routing decisions, delivery quality, and pricing. As such, and in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Auralink recognizes gross revenue for these services at the point in time when control is transferred to the customer, typically when a voice call is successfully terminated, or a message is delivered. |
| 37 |
|
· |
Marketplace: Our “Marketplace” category comprises services for businesses and individuals that leverage our online presence. For businesses, this includes sponsorship of digital newsletters, online content promotion, social media distribution, banner advertising, and other branded electronic communications, such as in our quarterly digital publication on recruiting trends and issues. We earn revenue as we complete agreed upon marketing related deliverables and milestones using pricing and terms set by mutual agreement with the customer. In some cases, we earn a percent of revenue a business receives from attracting new clients by advertising on our online platform. Businesses can also pay us to post job openings on our proprietary job boards to promote open job positions they are trying to fill. In addition to its work with direct clients, we categorize all online advertising and affiliate marketing revenue as Marketplace. For individuals, Marketplace includes services to assist with career development and advancement, including a resume distribution service which involves promoting these job seekers’ profiles and resumes to assist with their procuring employment, and upskilling and training. Our resume distribution service allows a job seeker to upload his/her resume to our database, which we then distribute to our network of recruiters on the Platform. We earn revenue from a one-time flat fee for this service. We also offer a recruiter certification program which encompasses our recruitment related training content, which we make accessible through our online learning management system. Customers of the recruiter certification program use a self-managed system to navigate through a digital course of study. Upon completion of the program, we issue a certificate of completion and make available a digital badge to certify their achievement for display on their online recruiter profile on the Platform. Additionally, we partner with Careerdash, a high-quality training company, to provide Recruiter.com Academy, an immersive training experience for career changers. |
| · | Consulting and Staffing: Consists of providing consulting and staffing personnel services to employers to satisfy their demand for long- and short-term consulting and temporary employee needs. We generate revenue by first referring qualified personnel for the employer’s specific talent needs, then placing such personnel with the employer, but with our providers acting as the employer of record for us, and finally, billing the employer for the time and work of our placed personnel on an ongoing basis. Our process for finding candidates for consulting and staffing engagements largely mirrors our process for full-time placement hiring. This process includes employers informing us of open consulting and temporary staffing opportunities and projects, sourcing qualified candidates through the Platform and other similar means, and, finally, the employer selecting our candidates for placement after a process of review and selection. We bill these employer clients for our placed candidates’ ongoing work at an agreed-upon, time-based rate, typically on a weekly schedule of invoicing. |
Revenues as presented on the consolidated statements of operations represent services rendered to customers less sales adjustments and allowances.
Marketplace advertising revenues are recognized on a gross basis when the advertising is placed and displayed or when lead generation activities and online publications are completed, which is the point at which the performance obligations are satisfied. Payments for marketing and publishing are typically due within 30 days of completion of services. Job posting revenue is recognized at the end of the period the job is posted. Marketplace career services revenues are recognized on a gross basis upon distribution of resumes or completion of training courses, which is the point at which the performance obligations are satisfied. Payments for career services are typically due upon distribution or completion of services.
Consulting and Staffing Services revenues represent services rendered to customers less sales adjustments and allowances. Reimbursements, including those related to travel and out-of-pocket expenses, are also included in the net service revenues and equivalent amounts of reimbursable expenses are included in costs of revenue. We record substantially all revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of this line of revenues and expenses. We have concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because we have the task of identifying and hiring qualified employees, and our discretion to select the employees and establish their compensation and duties causes us to bear the risk for services that are not fully paid for by customers. Consulting and staffing revenues are recognized when the services are rendered by the temporary employees. We assume the risk of the acceptability of the employees to customers. Payments for consulting and staffing services are typically due within 90 days of completion of services.
Auralink’s primary performance obligations consist of SMS and VoiceIP transmission services. Each message or call is a distinct transaction, and revenue is recognized at the point in time when delivery is confirmed by the recipient carrier’s platform. These services are priced using dynamic Rate Decks, which vary by destination and time. The transaction price is allocated to each message or call based on its standalone selling price as reflected in the applicable Rate Deck. Auralink acts as principal in these transactions, as it controls the routing infrastructure, sets pricing, assumes delivery risk, and bears responsibility for service quality. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis.
| 38 |
Contracts typically span one year and include early termination provisions. Settlements with counterparties are usually conducted on a net basis using reconciled call detail records.
Deferred revenue results from transactions in which we have been paid for services by customers, but for which all revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the deferred revenues are recognized.
Sales tax collected is recorded on a net basis and is excluded from revenue.
Quarter Overview
In the first quarter of 2025, the period ending March 31, 2025, the Company continued to concentrate on finalizing its strategic transactions critical to its evolution. The Company is in a period of profound change after significantly reducing its operating footprint to focus primarily on strategic financial matters. The Company also continued preparing for its planned spin-out transaction of certain operating assets to its Atlantic Energy Solutions subsidiary, which is currently being renamed CognoGroup, a Nevada Corporation (“CognoGroup”). CognoGroup is planned to hold the current recruitment-related technology assets, including Mediabistro, a job board for the media industry, as well as other assets and projects of the Company, such as its AI-enabled CandidatePitch software and RecruitingClasses.com.
Product development efforts were limited to continued improvements to Mediabistro and its underlying job board technology, as well as technical projects related to the expected sale of Recruiter.com.
Our key highlights for the three months ending March 31, 2025, include the following:

Revenue
We had revenue of $1.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $0.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, representing an increase of $1.2 million or 528%. The increase resulted primarily due to the increase in telecommunication services of $1.3 million.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue was $1.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, compared to $3 thousand for the corresponding three-month period in 2024, representing an increase of $1.3 million.

We had total operating expenses of $6.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.3 million for the corresponding three-month period in 2024, an increase of $4.9 million or 384%. This increase was due to increases in general and administrative, sales and marketing, and cost of revenue of $3.0 million, $0.6 million, and $1.3 million respectively, which were partially offset by a decrease in amortization of intangibles of $42 thousand.
| 40 |
Sales and Marketing
Our sales and marketing expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, was $0.7 million compared to $0.1 million for the corresponding three-month period in 2024, an increase of $0.6 million, which reflects the increase in revenue generating activities.
Product Development
Our product development expense for the three-months ended March 31, 2025, increased to $18 thousand from $12 thousand for the corresponding period in 2024 due to an increase in hosting and data expense.
Amortization of Intangibles
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, we incurred a non-cash amortization charge of $272 thousand as compared to $314 thousand for the corresponding period in 2024. The amortization expense in 2025 and 2024 relates to the intangible assets acquired from Genesys (now our Recruiting Solutions division), Scouted, Upsider, OneWire, Parrut Novo Group, GOLQ, Aqua Software, Wizco, and Savitr Tech.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, includes compensation-related costs for our employees dedicated to general and administrative activities, legal fees, audit and tax fees, consultants and professional services, and general corporate expenses. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, our general and administrative expenses were $3.9 million, including $2.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation. In 2024, for the corresponding period, our general and administrative expenses were $0.9 million, including $300 thousand of non-cash stock-based compensation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following discussion and analysis includes both financial measures in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to, and should not be considered as alternatives, to net income, operating income, and cash flow from operating activities, liquidity or any other financial measures. They may not be indicative of our historical operating results nor are they intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Our management uses and relies on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that both management and shareholders benefit from referring to the following non-GAAP financial measures in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparison. Our management recognizes that the non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations because of the described excluded items.
| 41 |
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (or loss) from continuing operations before the items in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our operating performance because it allows management, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period-to-period after removing the impact of items of a non-operational nature that affect comparability.
We have included a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that providing the non-GAAP financial measures, together with the reconciliation to GAAP, helps investors make comparisons between us and other companies. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measure and the corresponding GAAP measure provided by each company under applicable SEC rules.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA:
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Net Income (loss) | $ | (4,542,163 | ) | $ | (778,427 | ) | ||

Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $1.8 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.7 million for the corresponding three-month period in 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net loss was $4.6 million. Net loss includes non-cash items of depreciation and amortization expense of $278 thousand, bad debt expense of $4 thousand, stock based compensation expense of $2.2 million, loss on fair value of warrant liability of $8 thousand, gain on fair value of contingent consideration of $164 thousand, gain on fair value of derivative liability of $113 thousand, and gain on fair value of marketable securities of $2 thousand.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $0.7 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net loss was $0.8 million. Net loss includes non-cash items of depreciation and amortization expense of $320 thousand, bad debt recovery (expense) of $49 thousand, equity-based compensation expense of $300 thousand, warrant modification expense of $64 thousand, amortization of debt discount and debt costs of $177 thousand, unrealized loss on marketable securities of $109 thousand, and a gain on extinguishment of debt of $580 thousand. Changes in operating assets and liabilities include primarily the following: accounts receivable decreased by $392 thousand, and prepaid expenses and other current assets decreased by $30 thousand. Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, deferred payroll taxes, other liabilities, and deferred revenue decreased in total by $427 thousand.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $0.4 million. The principal factor was purchase of intangible assets of $0.4 million. The Company received $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from the sale of assets.
| 42 |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $0.
Based on cash on hand as of March 31, 2025, of approximately $0.3 million, we do not have the capital resources to meet our working capital needs for the next 12 months.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We incurred net losses and negative operating cash flows since inception. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a net loss of $4.6 million. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenue that is sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on us obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable.
Our historical operating results indicate substantial doubt exists related to our ability to continue as a going concern. We can give no assurances that any additional capital that we are able to obtain, if any, will be sufficient to meet our needs, or that any such financing will be obtainable on acceptable terms. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations or substantially curtail our commercial activities. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
To date, equity offerings have been our primary source of liquidity and we expect to fund future operations through additional securities offerings.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting estimates are the fair value of intangible assets and goodwill, and valuation of stock based compensation expense.
Policy
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.
| 43 |
Revenues as presented on the consolidated statements of operations represent services rendered to customers less sales adjustments and allowances.
Marketplace advertising revenues are recognized on a gross basis when the advertising is placed and displayed or when lead generation activities and online publications are completed, which is the point at which the performance obligations are satisfied. Payments for marketing and publishing are typically due within 30 days of completion of services. Job posting revenue is recognized at the end of the period the job is posted. Marketplace career services revenues are recognized on a gross basis upon distribution of resumes or completion of training courses, which is the point at which the performance obligations are satisfied. Payments for career services are typically due upon distribution or completion of services.
Consulting and Staffing Services revenues represent services rendered to customers less sales adjustments and allowances. Reimbursements, including those related to travel and out-of-pocket expenses, are also included in the net service revenues and equivalent amounts of reimbursable expenses are included in costs of revenue. We record substantially all revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of this line of revenues and expenses. We have concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because we have the task of identifying and hiring qualified employees, and our discretion to select the employees and establish their compensation and duties causes us to bear the risk for services that are not fully paid for by customers. Consulting and staffing revenues are recognized when the services are rendered by the temporary employees. We assume the risk of the acceptability of the employees to customers. Payments for consulting and staffing services are typically due within 90 days of completion of services.
Auralink’s primary performance obligations consist of SMS and VoiceIP transmission services. Each message or call is a distinct transaction, and revenue is recognized at the point in time when delivery is confirmed by the recipient carrier’s platform. These services are priced using dynamic Rate Decks, which vary by destination and time. The transaction price is allocated to each message or call based on its standalone selling price as reflected in the applicable Rate Deck. Auralink acts as principal in these transactions, as it controls the routing infrastructure, sets pricing, assumes delivery risk, and bears responsibility for service quality. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis.
Contracts typically span one year and include early termination provisions. Settlements with counterparties are usually conducted on a net basis using reconciled call detail records.
Contract liabilities result from transactions in which we have been paid for services by customers, but for which all revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the contract liabilities are recognized.
Sales tax collected is recorded on a net basis and is excluded from revenue.
Goodwill
Goodwill is comprised of the purchase price of business combinations in excess of the fair value assigned at acquisition to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized. We test goodwill for impairment for its reporting units on an annual basis, or when events occur, or circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value.
We perform our annual goodwill impairment assessment on December 31st of each year or as impairment indicators dictate.
When evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill, management first assess a range of qualitative factors, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for our products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel, and the overall financial performance for each of our reporting units. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we then proceed to the impairment testing methodology using an appropriate valuation method.
| 44 |
We compare the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, with its fair value, as determined by its estimated discounted cash flows. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of impairment to be recognized is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value.
When required, we may arrive at our estimates of fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology which includes estimates of future cash flows to be generated by specifically identified assets, as well as selecting a discount rate to measure the present value of those anticipated cash flows. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and includes making assumptions about projected growth rates, industry-specific factors, working capital requirements, weighted average cost of capital, and current and anticipated operating conditions. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce different results.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires all share-based payments be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted and recognizes the compensation cost of share-based awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)-Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 should be applied on a retrospective basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted the reportable segment disclosure requirements with no significant impact on its disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09-Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily by amending disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, and retrospective application is permitted. ASU 2023-09 is effective January 1, 2025.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires entities to provide more detailed disaggregation of expenses in the income statement, focusing on the nature of the expenses rather than their function. The new disclosures will require entities to separately present expenses for significant line items, including but not limited to, depreciation, amortization, and employee compensation. Entities will also be required to provide a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, provide a definition of what constitutes selling expenses. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
| (a) | Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of our management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer had concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting as identified below.
| (b) | Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsor Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 framework). Based on that evaluation, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2025.
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects our ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with GAAP such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, (1) we lack a sufficient number of employees to properly segregate duties and provide adequate monitoring during the process leading to and including the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and (2) do not have the in-house technical expertise to identify and analyze complex or unusual transactions for proper accounting treatment. Accordingly, management’s assessment is that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have worked to establish all the checks and balances needed for all financial areas of our business. We hired a consultant in mid-2020 to establish best practices and help us document and implement these. This consultant is a CPA and has a significant background in running the accounting and budgeting process for public companies. We began adopting these best practices during the fourth quarter of 2020. We retained an outsourced firm with a panel of CPA consultants in 2021 to assist in building internal controls and preparing financial reports.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are currently pursuing two related collections matters against BKR Strategy Group. Since 2013, BKR Strategy Group has provided talent acquisition strategy and services to top companies. Starting in the third quarter of 2021, BKR Strategy Group subcontracted Recruiter.com to perform on Demand recruiter services on behalf of BKR Strategy Group’s clients. Although payments for services rendered were initially received in a timely fashion, BKR Strategy Group’s balance grew throughout the third and fourth quarters of 2021. This led to BKR Strategy Group executing a Promissory Note with a payment schedule for $500,000 on November 30, 2021, with a personal guarantee from its business principal as part of the note. After failing to meet the payment schedule and after repeated attempts to collect the balance due, we retained the law firm of Berkovitch & Bouskila, PLLC and filed two lawsuits against BKR Strategy Group on February 18, 2022, the first, to collect on unpaid invoices and the second, to enforce the promissory note, for a total sum of $1,400,000. On March 24, 2022, BKR Strategy Group made a counterclaim against us for $500,000 on the grounds of alleged overbilling. Management denies the basis for the counterclaim and expects to vigorously defend itself from this counterclaim. Outside counsel for the company has advised that at this stage in the proceedings, it cannot offer an opinion as to the probable outcome. As it is not possible to estimate if a loss will be incurred, there has been no accrual.
On June 21, 2022, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County ruled in favor of the Company that BKR Strategy Group owes the Company $500,000, plus interest at 12% since November 22, 2021, through the entry of judgement in the lawsuit related to the enforcement on the Promissory Note executed by BKR Strategy Group. Proceedings in the other lawsuit remain ongoing.
On or about September 6, 2023, Recruiter.com Group, Inc. (the "Company") was served with a civil lawsuit filed by Pipl, Inc. in the Superior Court of the State of Connecticut, Judicial District of New Britain. The lawsuit alleges that the Company failed to pay for goods and/or services provided by Pipl, Inc. between January 3, 2021, and December 7, 2022, with the claimed amount due exceeding $266,562.59 plus interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees. The Company retained counsel and filed a counterclaim for breach of contract, alleging that Pipl Inc. failed to adequately perform under the contract, as well as claims for breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing and unjust enrichment. Given that discovery has not been completed, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the case or estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, but continues to evaluate the case with counsel as more information becomes available.
On April 1, 2024, Recruiter.com Group, Inc. ("the Company") became involved in legal proceedings initiated by Creditors Adjustment Bureau, Inc. ("CAB"), as documented in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, case number 24CV433086. CAB’s complaint, filed on March 13, 2024, alleges that the Company failed to fulfill payment obligations under contracts with CAB’s assignor, totaling approximately $213,894.44. CAB seeks recovery of the owed amounts, interest, attorney fees, costs, and other damages deemed appropriate by the court. The Company has been defending itself vigorously, including filing a cross-complaint for indemnity against Onewire Holdings, LLC and NOVO Group, Inc. At this stage, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the case or estimate the potential financial impact.
November 20, 2024, Recruiter.com Inc. has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by HireTeammate, Inc. (d/b/a hireEZ) in the Supreme Court of New York. The lawsuit alleges that The Company breached a contract by failing to pay for platform management services provided by hireEZ between December 12, 2022, and January 31, 2023. The total amount claimed is $79,388.39, along with interest and legal costs. The complaint includes claims for breach of contract, account stated, and unjust enrichment. The Company is evaluating its legal options in response to the lawsuit.
Except for the aforementioned proceedings described above, as of the date of this filing, there are no material pending legal or governmental proceedings relating to our Company or properties to which we are a party, and, to our knowledge, there are no material proceedings to which any of our directors, executive officers, or affiliates are a party adverse to us or which have a material interest adverse to us.
ITEM 1A. - RISK FACTORS
Factors that could cause or contribute to differences in our future financial and operating results include those discussed in the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed March 31, 2025. These risks are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we do not currently consider significant may also have an adverse effect on us. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition could suffer.
