| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| (UNAUDITED) |
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Specificity, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Nevada Corporation incorporated on November 25, 2020 (“Inception”).
The Company is a full-service digital marketing firm that delivers cutting-edge marketing solutions to business-to-business clients as well as business to consumer clients. The Company has developed tools that allow us to identify and market to people who are actively in the buying cycle. We take advantage of the real-time messaging opportunities digital marketing offers to give small and medium-sized businesses a fair chance at online traffic.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000 per institution that pays Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance premiums. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.

Lease Commitment
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company has lease agreements which include lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected to account for as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. Lease expense for variable lease components are recognized when the obligation is probable. Operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company primarily leases buildings (real estate) which are classified as operating leases. ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As an implicit interest rate is not readily determinable in the Company’s leases, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. Options for lease renewals have been excluded from the lease term (and lease liability) for the majority of the Company’s leases as the reasonably certain threshold is not met.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of fixed payments, variable payments that depend on index or rate, and amounts probable to be payable under the exercise of the Company option to purchase the underlying asset if reasonably certain.
Variable lease payments not dependent on a rate or index associated with the Company’s leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed as probable. Variable lease payments are presented as operating expenses in the Company’s statement of operations in the same line as expense arising from fixed lease payments. As of March 31, 2022, management determined that there were no variable lease costs.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) to measure and disclosure the fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:
| Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
| Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
| Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| (UNAUDITED) |
The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements for cash, accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, accounts payable, etc. approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term mature of these financial instruments.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year, increased by the potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the year. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company does not have any dilutive shares.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provided an alternative transition method when initially applying ASU 2016-02. Companies may elect to apply ASU 2016-02 at the beginning of the earliest period presented or recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Management adopted this standard on January 1, 2022, which a right of use asset and liability were recorded in connection with the Company’s lease.
The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. The Company believes those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
As
reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of
$
While the Company is continuing operations and generating revenues, the Company’s cash position is not significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. To fund operations and reduce the working capital deficit, the Company has raised capital through the sale of common and preferred stock. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect, nor can there be assurance that such funds will be at acceptable terms. See Note 7 for additional fund received during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and subsequent. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues and cash flows. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information and Factors That May Affect Future Results
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. Factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of our Form 10-K filed with the Commission on April 15, 2022.
We caution that these factors could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Business Overview
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Form 10-Q, including “Risk Factors” as described in our Form 10-K as filed with the Commission on April 15, 2022, and the Financial Statements. The various sections of this discussion contain a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout our Annual Report on Form 10-K. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may differ materially. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
As used in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation,” except where the context otherwise requires, the term “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company,” refers to the business of Specificity, Inc.

Organizational Overview
Specificity, Inc. (“Specificity” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 25, 2020.
The Problem We Endeavor to Solve
Big Tech and the Social Media giants have all evolved away from client advocacy and moved into a new paradigm of fear and hyper political correctness. They no longer endeavor to do what is right for their marketing clients. Instead, they have made marketing to targeted audiences exponentially more difficult and dramatically more expensive.
After the fallout from the social media giants getting caught misusing user supplied data (for example Cambridge Analytica) they pulled most of the targeting mechanisms out of their platforms to avoid additional congressional oversight and regulation. They have since gone a step further by claiming the rationale for these changes is to stop discrimination.
We believe the real motivation for this policy change is not anti-discrimination, rather it is revenue driven. They are forcing ad delivery to consumers unlikely to buy. They are also forcing increased quantities of ads to be placed in order to hit an impactful number of targeted buyers. As a result, businesses are deploying the same budget with diminished results or are forced to increase their spend to keep the net results the same. Their claim is that using peoples’ interests and behavior to identify suitable audiences to market to is suddenly discriminatory. These companies have used these practices for well over a decade. Targeting buyers with incomes that suggest they can afford a six-figure sports car isn’t discrimination; it’s the responsible deployment of advertising spend. Conversely, delivery of ads for low-income housing opportunities to wealthy people makes just as little sense as well.
At best its political correctness run amuck, at worst it’s a ploy to drive ad spend up by forcing people to spend more to get the same. And not only will we take no part in this, we are building Specificity specifically to help businesses get the very most for their ad spend. Our marketing tools will target those most likely to buy the product being solicited. We would never allow nor condone discrimination of any kind. But delivering advertising to people actively looking for products and services is NOT discrimination; it’s intelligent marketing.
Company Overview
Specificity, Inc. is a technology company with 2 core missions:
| 1) | First, we endeavor to deliver the latest digital marketing technology to companies of all sizes making them nationally, regionally and locally competitive. In this capacity, we come to the table already vertically integrated and capable of executing any size campaign flawlessly. |
| 2) | Secondarily, Specificity is a tech incubator. We identify technology-based marketing solutions, take an equity share position in return for utilizing our internal resources to complete the buildout of technology-based solutions, and then using our marketing prowess to draw clients to these businesses. We have the internal personnel to successfully complete these projects and our marketing capabilities will deliver lower advertising costs to launch new projects making growth faster to attain. |

We are currently a development stage company with minimal revenues, though we had a significant increase in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern (please refer to the footnotes to the financial statements). As of March 31, 2022, the Company is still unable to establish a consistent flow of revenues from our operations which is sufficient to sustain our operating needs, management intends to rely primarily upon debt financing to supplement cash flows, if any, generated by our services. We will seek out such financing as necessary to allow the Company to continue to grow our business operations, and to cover such cost, excluding professional fees, associated with being a reporting Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company has included such costs to become a publicly reporting company in its targeted expenses for working capital expenses and intends to seek out reasonable loans from friends, family and business acquaintances if it becomes necessary. At this point we have been funded by our founders and initial shareholders and have not received any firm commitments or indications from any family, friends or business acquaintances regarding any potential investment in the Company except those shareholders listed herein.
Results of Operations
Revenues
For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we generated $270,850 and $169,445 in revenues, respectively.
Operating Expenses
For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we incurred $1,443,539 and $1,297,753 in operating expenses, respectively. The increase in Operating Expenses was due primarily to an increase in general and administrative expenses, with a decrease in officer compensation.
Net Loss and Gross Profit
For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we incurred a net loss of $1,334,127 and $1,198,256, respectively. The increase in net loss was due primarily to an increase in operating expenses.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had available working capital during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 of $344,692 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 during which we had working capital of $637,841.
Cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Net cash flow derived from operating activities was $(736,663) for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This is due primarily to a net loss of $1,334,127, offset by $600,000 in the stock-based compensation.
-6-
Net cash flow used in investing activities was $9,207 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $1,042 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $452,721 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and consisted of $471,967 from the proceeds from the sale of common stock and $(19,246) from the payment of deferred offering costs.
Cash Requirements
Our management does not believe that our current capital resources will be adequate to continue operating our company and maintaining our business strategy for much more than 12 months. At the date hereof, we have minimal cash at hand. We require additional capital to implement our business and fund our operations.
Since inception we have funded our operations primarily through equity financings and we expect that we will continue to fund our operations through the equity and debt financing, either alone or through strategic alliances. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. We intend to continue to fund our business by way of equity or debt financing until natural revenues can support the Company. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as needed in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
If we are unable to raise capital as needed, we are required to reduce the scope of our business development activities, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results, or cease our operations entirely, in which case, you will lose all of your investment.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports, filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

As required by the SEC Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.
To address these material weaknesses, management engaged financial consultants, performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Audit Standard No. 5, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that as of September 30, 2021 our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:
1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the months ended March 31, 2022. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. We do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts the Company’s ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner. In addition, due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
3. We do not have personnel with sufficient experience with United States generally accepted accounting principles to address complex transactions.
4. We have inadequate controls to ensure that information necessary to properly record transactions is adequately communicated on a timely basis from non-financial personnel to those responsible for financial reporting. Management evaluated the impact of the lack of timely communication between non–financial personnel and financial personnel on our assessment of our reporting controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency represented a material weakness.
5. We have determined that oversight over our external financial reporting and internal control over our financial reporting is ineffective. The Chief Financial Officer has not provided adequate review of the Company’s SEC’s filings and financial statements and has not provided adequate supervision and review of the Company’s accounting personnel or oversight of the independent registered accounting firm’s audit of the Company’s financial statement.
We have taken steps to remediate some of the weaknesses described above, including by engaging a financial reporting advisor with expertise in accounting for complex transactions. We intend to continue to address these weaknesses as resources permit.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
