NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its convertible notes to determine if such instruments have derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses a weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
| 9 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America under U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. 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. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 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. |
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s notes payable approximate the fair value of such instruments as the notes bear interest rates that are consistent with current market rates.
The following table classifies the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis into the fair value hierarchy as of:
June 30, 2024:

The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and the dilutive effect of contingent shares outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has approximately potentially dilutive shares from convertible notes payable and potentially dilutive shares from Series A preferred stock. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has approximately potentially dilutive shares from convertible notes payable and potentially dilutive shares from Series A preferred stock. Diluted amounts are not presented when the effect of the computations are anti-dilutive due to the losses incurred.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As
of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $
These factors and uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might incur in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings, debt financing and debt restructuring to provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan. However, management can give no assurance that these funds will be available in adequate amounts, or if available, on terms that would be satisfactory to the Company.
The timing and amount of the Company’s capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including maintaining its status as a public company and supporting shareholder and investor relations.

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
General Background of the Company
Hallmark Venture Group, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated in the State of Colorado on July 14, 1995, with the name CPC Office Systems, Inc. On July 12, 1999, the Company changed its name to Homesmart USA, Inc. On March 3, 2006, the Company moved its domicile to Nevada. On March 8, 2006, the Company changed its name to Smart Truck Systems, Inc. On March 6, 2008, the Company changed its name to Speech Phone, Inc. On July 16, 2008, the Company changed its name to Hallmark Venture Group, Inc. On March 22, 2022, the Company redomiciled and became a Florida corporation.
On November 2, 2020, the Company entered into a Plan of Merger and Acquisition Agreement (the “Stonecrest Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company purchased Stonecrest Owner, LLC in exchange for the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000 shares of Series A preferred stock to the members of Stonecrest Owner, LLC. On July 12, 2021, the parties agreed to cancel and unwind the transactions contemplated by the Stonecrest Merger Agreement. As a result, all of the shares of common stock and preferred stock that were issued as part of that transaction were canceled.

The Company can currently be defined as a “shell” company, whose sole purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. The Company has no particular acquisitions in mind and has not currently entered into any negotiations regarding such an acquisition, provided, that the Company intends to pursue the direct or indirect acquisition and development of real estate assets (including portfolios of real estate assets) and/or businesses related thereto. The Company’s officers and directors have not engaged in any preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger between the Company and such other company as of the date hereof.
Business Objectives of the Company
Since August 2020, management has determined to direct its efforts and limited resources to pursue potential new business and/or acquisition opportunities. The Company does not intend to limit itself to a particular industry and has not established any particular criteria upon which it shall consider a business opportunity, provided, that management presently intends to prioritize the direct or indirect acquisition and development of real estate assets (including portfolios of real estate assets) and/or businesses related thereto.
The Company’s purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who or which desire to seek the perceived advantages of an issuer who has complied with the Exchange Act. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature and we have not established any particular criteria upon which we consider a business opportunity, provided that we will prioritize real estate transactions. This discussion of the proposed business herein is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of the Company’s broad discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. Management anticipates that it may be able to participate in only one potential business venture because the Company has nominal assets and limited financial resources.
Management would have substantial flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective new business opportunity. The Company is dependent on the judgment of its management in connection with this process. There are many criteria that management may deem relevant. In connection with an evaluation of a prospective or potential business opportunity, management may be expected to conduct a due diligence review. A business combination may involve an entity that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth. In evaluating a prospective business opportunity, management would consider, among other factors, the following:
| ● | costs associated with pursuing a new business opportunity; | |
| ● | the growth potential of the new business opportunity; | |
| ● | necessary capital requirements; | |
| ● | the competitive position of the new business opportunity; | |
| ● | stage of business development; | |
| ● | the market acceptance of the potential products and services; | |
| ● | proprietary features and degree of intellectual property; and | |
| ● | the regulatory environment that may be applicable to any prospective business opportunity |
The foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive and there may be other criteria that management may deem relevant. In connection with an evaluation of a prospective or potential business opportunity, management may be expected to conduct a due diligence review.
| 16 |
The time and costs required to pursue new business opportunities, which includes negotiating and documenting relevant agreements and preparing requisite documents for filing pursuant to applicable securities laws, cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty.
Management intends to devote such time as it deems necessary to carry out our affairs. The exact length of time required for the pursuit of any new potential business opportunities is uncertain. No assurance can be made that we will be successful in our efforts. We cannot project the amount of time that management will devote to the Company’s plan of operation.
Prospective investors in the Company’s common stock will not have an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any of the one or more business combinations that we may undertake. A business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company that needs to raise substantial additional capital by means of being a publicly-traded company, while avoiding what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself. These include time delays, significant expense, voting control issues and compliance with various federal and state securities laws.
The Company intends to conduct its activities to avoid being classified as an “Investment Company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and therefore avoid application of the costly and restrictive registration and other provisions of the Investment Company Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Management believes that being a reporting company under the Exchange Act will enhance the Company’s efforts to acquire or merge with an operating business.
The Company is obligated to file interim and periodic reports including an annual report with audited financial statements. This obligation will substantially increase the expenses incurred by the Company.
Any entity that is merged into or acquired by us will become subject to the same reporting requirements to which we are subject. Thus, if we successfully complete an acquisition or merger, the acquired entity must have audited financial statements for at least the two most recent fiscal years, or if the acquired entity has been in business for less than two years, audited financial statements must be available from its inception. This requirement limits our possible acquisitions or merger opportunities because many private companies either do not have audited financial statements or are unable to produce audited financial statements without long delay and substantial expense.
The Company’s common stock is subject to quotation on the OTC Markets Group Inc. Pink Market (“OTC Pink”) under the symbol HLLK. There is currently only a limited trading market in the Company’s common stock. There can be no assurance that there will be an active trading market for our common stock. If an active trading market commences, there can be no assurance as to the market price of our common stock, whether the trading market will provide liquidity to investors, or whether any trading market will be sustained.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined under the Securities Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
| ● | not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); |
| 17 |
| ● | reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and | |
| ● | exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
In addition, an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this extended transition period. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (i) our reporting $1.07 billion or more in annual gross revenues; (ii) the end of fiscal year 2024; (iii) our issuance, in a three year period, of more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.
Results of Operations
The three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023
Revenues: The Company had no revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.
General and Administrative expenses: The Company incurred $12,844 of general and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $12,111 during the same period in 2023, an increase of $733 or 6.1%
Other Income (Expense). The Company incurred total other expense of $112,688 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to total other expense of $106,803 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. In the current period we had interest expense of $8,001, expense for the amortization of debt discount of $3,276, a loss of $105,041 for the change in fair value of derivative and a $3,630 gain for forgiveness of debt. In the prior period we had interest expense of $6,054, expense for the amortization of debt discount of $12,476, a loss of $81,929 for the change in fair value of derivative and a loss on issuance of convertible debt of $6,344.
Net Loss. The Company incurred a net loss of $125,532 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $118,914 during the same period in 2023. The increase in net loss is primarily due to our other expenses related to our convertible debt.
The six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023
Revenues: The Company had no revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in transfer agent fees paid.

Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities was $31,610 and $24,805 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $31,610 and $24,805 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, we had no assets and current liabilities totaling $952,602.
Going Concern
We have only limited capital. Additional financing is necessary for us to continue as a going concern. The report of the independent registered public accounting firm accompanying our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared “assuming that we will continue as a going concern”, which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
Refer to Note 2 to the Financial Statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024, for a condensed discussion of our critical accounting policies and our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for a full discussion of our critical accounting policies and procedures.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Each of our principal executive and principal financial officer has 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 quarterly report. Based on their evaluation, each such person concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024 due to a lack of segregation of duties.
In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our management has evaluated whether any change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last fiscal quarter. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the relevant period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
