PART I
Item 1. Business

Strategic Vision
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. |
Digital Marketing
As a digital marketing agency, Specificity is an early adopter of innovative digital marketing tools. Our team keeps our clients ahead of the technology curve instead of chasing it. Our ability to identify audiences in granular ways other tech companies have given up on, positions us well to deliver better results at lower costs. By delivering ads to more targeted audiences, our clients enjoy the benefit of focusing 100% of their digital spend on audiences that make sense for their products and services. While the large social media/tech companies are eliminating or limiting access to targeting tools, we continue to add better targeting tools all the time.
As digital marketing continues to evolve, Specificity finds itself with an incredibly unique opportunity. While the large tech companies and social media firms are removing targeting mechanisms from their platforms, businesses are waking up to the fact that more targeted audiences lower their CPA (cost per acquisition) and dramatically improve their ROI. As each day goes by, business owners have learned that the less targeted their campaigns are the more money and time they waste. Reaching the audiences they were easily able to reach just a few years back is made more expensive with the removal of targeting mechanisms. It is all done in the name of political correctness, but it is obvious to most, that their true motivation is to drive ad spend up to drive revenue for themselves.
All of these events put Specificity in a great position to acquire new clients in mass. Our capital raise will in large part be used to grow our sales team in two regions initially and then expand quickly thereafter. The two regions we are starting with are the Tampa and New England markets and will be targeting clients with revenues between$5,000,000 and $25,000,000. The revenue target speaks to both retainer and retention. We know that clients with this type of revenue typically have internal marketing teams that are more suited to understand analytics and can more easily track results. When this is the case, these clients stay longer and are more active in running the campaign making it far easier to produce new creative and get it approved more quickly, a critical component for campaign optimization.
-5-
We also know that clients with these revenues spend on average, $5,100 per month. This is important because this retainer level ensures profitability after accounting for sales expense and the overhead required to execute a campaign. While Specificity welcomes smaller businesses as well as larger businesses, targeting these size companies through our sales efforts will ensure both long-term retention and profitability. Both Tampa and the New England region have a plethora of companies that fall into this category. Tampa has 9,991 companies with annual revenue between 5 and 25 million. (insert breakdown provided here for Tampa as well as New England here) The New England market boasts far more in our targeted range.
In addition to being home to many companies we seek to engage, there is another reason these two regions were selected. Kevin Frisbie is an investor in Specificity and possesses a long track record for running highly productive sales teams. He will be recruiting, training and managing the sales team in the New England market and clearly has a vested interest in its’ success. Our CEO, Jason Wood, similarly possesses a long track record for managing sales teams and will be recruiting, training and managing the team in the Tampa market. Between the two of these seasoned pros, growing their respective markets should be accomplished in the timeline provided in the projections.
While we project strong revenue growth in 2021, our other mission is to buildout internal capacity to facilitate growth. A portion of our capital raise will go towards that end. Having a well-trained staff in place will not only allow for the expeditious on-boarding of new clients but will also go a long way in retaining clients we bring on. Strong client retention is foundational to long-term success in our business. We have already automated much of what we do so the length of time required to properly train people is drastically reduced.
Tech Incubator
In the digital marketing space, there are numerous opportunities for project completion. Men and women across the country have great ideas but not the resources to finish their projects. Our model is simple, once we identify these opportunities, we will negotiate an equity share position in return for using our resources to complete the buildout. These resources include our website design team, programmers, graphic designers, digital marketers and management.
Due to the nature of what we do, we welcome these projects with both the ability to help complete them and the ability to market
them. We can identify the audience most likely to use them and then aggressively advertise to that audience. Our goal in doing
so is to spin them off into their own company and then take our profit when the time is right.
PickPocket
This model is being proven now. Specificity acquired, then completed a digital marketing platform called PickPocket. It offers its users location-based device ID extraction in a self-serve platform wherein users can define the parameters of their own campaign. It aims to compete with the marketing mechanisms in social media companies. Just as they are removing targeting capabilities, PickPocket will hit the market offering very granular targeting. Users on PickPocket are in total control of their campaign and can dictate spend level, locations to target, and the duration of the campaign. Forty-eight hours after the campaign is complete, PickPocket clients get an email containing detailed analytics, including foot traffic attribution reporting. This reporting tells the client how many people physically visited their location out of all the device IDs that were marketed to during the campaign. The report also contains tracking for impressions, clicks, form fills, and ecommerce conversions where appropriate. We have launched PickPocket and will be fully capitalizing the marketing in the coming weeks.
The Investor Center
Another project we have brought in-house is the Investor Center. This is an online portal allowing investors to completely customize their own user experience. They can choose what news feeds to populate on their home screen, which stocks to follow, what industries to track, which OTC companies to follow, which companies seeking private investment to keep track of and much, much more. This service is subscription based.
-6-
In addition to providing users with a customized experience, The Investor Center brings together companies seeking investment with brokers, investors and private equity firms. Paid advertising on the platform is available for companies seeking to garner investor attention or for brokers seeking to offer their services to investors. There are many revenue streams available, and our sales team will be run by someone that has spent 30 years in this space, Jim Price.
Currently, we have completed the website buildout with full functionality and will be launching very soon. The future goal for the investor center is to utilize a full stack developer to turn this into a native app for iPhone and Android.
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,381,405 and used cash of $1,106,374 in operating activities. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.
In order to further implement its business plan and satisfy its working capital requirements, the Company will need to raise additional capital. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, if at all.
There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Competition
Specificity operates in a highly competitive and fragmented industry. We compete for business and talent with the operating subsidiaries of large global holding companies such as Omnicom Group Inc., Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc., WPP plc, Publicis Groupe SA, Dentsu Inc. and Havas SA, as well as with numerous independent agencies that operate in multiple markets. Our Partner Firms also face competition from consultancies, like Accenture and Deloitte, tech platforms, media companies and other services firms that offer related services. We must compete with all of these other companies to maintain and grow existing client relationships and to obtain new clients and assignments.
We compete at this level by providing clients with innovative marketing solutions that leverage the full power of data, technology, and superior creativity. Specificity also benefits from cooperation among its entrepreneurial Partner Firms, which enables Specificity to service the full range of global clients’ varied marketing needs through custom integrated solutions. Additionally, Specificity’s maintenance of separate, independent operating companies enables Specificity to effectively manage potential conflicts of interest by representing competing clients across its network.
Clients
Specificity plans to solicit entities generating annual revenues between $5,000,000 and $25,000,000 in revenues. In evaluating potential clients we consider long term retention with an average of $5,100 per month in services. This will ensure that long term-term retention and profitability for the Company. Our general geographic focus currently is in the Tampa Bay and New England areas. We will expand scope of our geographic focus in the future as we develop success in our primary markets. Due to the nature of our business and the relative size of certain contracts, which are entered into in the ordinary course of business, the loss of any single significant customer would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In future periods, we will continue to focus on diversifying our revenue by increasing the number of our customer contracts and seeking out partnerships that will allow us to increase our customer reach beyond our limited reach.
-7-
Intellectual Property
Our intellectual property rights are important to our business. We believe we will come to rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret and other rights in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology, processes and other intellectual property. We will protect our intellectual property rights in a number of ways including entering into confidentiality and other written agreements with our employees, customers, consultants and partners in an attempt to control access to and distribution of our documentation and other proprietary technology and other information. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, third parties may, in an unauthorized manner, attempt to use, copy or otherwise obtain and market or distribute our intellectual property rights or technology.
U.S. patent filings are intended to provide the holder with a right to exclude others from making, using, selling or importing in the United States the inventions covered by the claims of granted patents. Our patents, including our pending patents, if granted, may be contested, circumvented or invalidated. Moreover, the rights that may be granted in those issued and pending patents may not provide us with proprietary protection or competitive advantages, and we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing those patents. Therefore, the exact benefits of our issued patents and, if issued, our pending patents and the other steps that we have taken to protect our intellectual property cannot be predicted with certainty.
Seasonality
Our business is not seasonal. However, our revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter, due to revenues earned on contracts, the commencement and completion of contracts during any particular quarter. Because a portion of our expenses, such as personnel and facilities costs, are fixed in the short term, successful contract performance and variation in the volume of activity as well as in the number of contracts commenced or completed during any quarter may cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter.
Employees
As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately 44 full-time employees. We periodically engage additional consultants and employ temporary or full-time employees as needed. Potential employees possessing the unique qualifications required are readily available for both part-time and full-time employment. The primary method of soliciting personnel is through recruiting resources directly utilizing all known sources including electronic databases, public forums, and personal networks of friends and former co-workers.
We believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to offer market competitive compensation packages to attract and retain highly skilled, highly motivated and disciplined managerial, technical, sales and support personnel. In addition, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements are in place with many of our customer, employees and consultants and such agreements are included our policies and procedures. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Generally, as a smaller reporting company, we are permitted to omit risk factors. However, we believe the following Risk Factors are material to our business. These do not encompass all risks related to our operations.
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this annual report before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated herein that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, you may lose all or part of your investment. In addition to the other information provided in this prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risk factors in evaluating our business before purchasing any of our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Financial Condition
Since our inception, we have been insolvent and have required debt and equity financing to maintain operations.
Since our inception, we have failed to create cashflows from revenues sufficient to cover basic costs. As a result, we have relied heavily on debt and equity financing. Equity financing, in particular, has created a dilutive effect on our common stock, which has hampered our ability to attract reasonable financing terms. For the foreseeable future, we will continue to rely upon debt and equity financing to maintain operation of the Company and its subsidiaries.
We have generated minimal revenues from operations, which makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our future performance.
As of December 31, 2021, we had generated insufficient revenues. As a consequence, it is difficult, if not impossible, to forecast our future results based upon our historical data. Our projections are based upon our best estimates on future growth. Because of the related uncertainties, we may be hindered in our ability to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in sales, revenues, or expenses. If we make poor budgetary decisions as a result of unreliable data, we may never become profitable or incur losses, which may result in a decline in our stock price.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure additional financing, we may be unable to implement our business plan and grow our business.
We are an emerging growth company and are in the process of selling and developing our products. Consequently, we have not generated enough revenues as of the date of this prospectus. We have an accumulated deficit and have incurred operating losses since our inception and expect losses to continue during the remainder of fiscal 2022. Our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated in their report that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the issuance date of this report. The continuation of our business as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our stockholders.
There is uncertainty regarding our ability to grow our business to a greater extent than we can with our existing financial resources, also described above, without additional financing. We have no agreements, commitments, or understandings to secure additional financing at this time. Our long-term future growth and success is dependent upon our ability to continue selling our products and services, generate cash from operating activities and obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue selling our products and services, generate sufficient cash from operations, sell additional shares of common stock or borrow additional funds. Our inability to obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business to a greater extent than we can with our existing financial resources, also described above.
-9-
Expenses required to operate as a public company will reduce funds available to implement our business plan and could negatively affect our stock price and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.
Operating as a public company is more expensive than operating as a private company, including additional funds required to obtain outside assistance from legal, accounting, investor relations, or other professionals that could be costlier than planned. We may also be required to hire additional staff to comply with additional SEC reporting requirements. We anticipate that the cost of SEC reporting will be approximately $100,000 annually. Our failure to comply with reporting requirements and other provisions of securities laws could negatively affect our stock price and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. If we fail to meet these requirements, we will be unable to secure a qualification for quotation of our securities on the OTCQB, or if we have secured a qualification, we may lose the qualification and our securities would no longer trade on the OTCQB. Further, if we fail to meet these obligations and consequently fail to satisfy our SEC reporting obligations, investors will then own stock in a company that does not provide the disclosure available in quarterly, annual reports and other required SEC reports that would be otherwise publicly available leading to increased difficulty in selling their stock due to our becoming a non-reporting issuer.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our independent auditors have issued an audit opinion for Specificity, Inc. that includes a statement describing our going concern status. Our financial status creates doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.
As described in Note 3 of our accompanying financial statements, our auditors have issued a going concern opinion regarding the Company. This means there is substantial doubt we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty regarding our ability to continue in business. As such, we may have to cease operations and investors could lose part or all of their investment in the Company.
We lack an operating history and have losses that we expect to continue into the future. There is no assurance our future operations will result in profitable revenues. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably, we may suspend or cease operations.
We were incorporated on November 25, 2020, and we have not fully developed our proposed business operations and have limited revenues. We have limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021, was $2,381,405 due to approximately -$1,417,568 being paid or accrued as compensation to our officers and $1,257,148 used in general and administrative expenses. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
| ● | The completion of previous Offerings |
| ● | Our ability to attract buyers; |
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues in the future. In the event the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenues, it may be required to seek additional funding. Such funding may not be available, or may not be available on terms that are beneficial and/or acceptable to the Company. In the event the Company cannot generate sufficient revenues and/or secure additional financing, the Company may be forced to cease operations and investors will likely lose some or all of their investment in the Company.
-10-
We do not have any additional source of funding for our business plans and may be unable to find any such funding if and when needed, resulting in the failure of our business.
Other than the shares offered by previous Offerings as reflected in the Company’s filings, no other source of capital has been identified or sought. However, our directors have indicated a willingness to loan funds as needed during the start-up phase of our operations to cover any short-fall in funds required to pay for offering costs, filing fees, and correspondence with our shareholders. However, our directors have not guaranteed any loans to cover a shortfall in funds should our Offerings fail. As a result, we do not have an alternate source of funds should we fail to complete previous Offerings. If we do find an alternative source of capital, the terms and conditions of acquiring such capital may result in dilution and the resultant lessening of value of the shares of stockholders.
If we are not successful in raising sufficient capital through previous Offerings, we will be faced with several options:
| 1. | abandon our business plans, cease operations and go out of business; |
| 2. | continue to seek alternative and acceptable sources of capital; or |
| 3. | bring in additional capital that may result in a change of control. |
In the event any of the above circumstances occur, you could lose a substantial part or all of your investment. In addition, there can be no guarantee that the total proceeds raised in previous Offerings will be sufficient, as we have projected, to fund our business plans or that we will be profitable. As a result, you could lose any investment you make in our shares.
The Company competes for clients in highly competitive industries.
The Company operates in a highly competitive environment in an industry characterized by numerous advertising and marketing agencies of varying sizes, with no single advertising and marketing agency or group of agencies having a dominant position in the marketplace. Specificity is, however, smaller than several of its larger industry competitors. Competitive factors include creative reputation, management, personal relationships, quality and reliability of service and expertise in particular niche areas of the marketplace. In addition, because an agency’s principal asset is its people, barriers to entry are minimal, and relatively small agencies are, on occasion, able to take all or some portion of a client’s business from a larger competitor. To the extent that the Company fails to maintain existing clients or attract new clients, its’s business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows may be affected in a materially adverse manner.
We possess minimal capital, which may severely restrict our ability to develop our services. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our business will fail.
We possess minimal capital and must limit the amount of marketing we can perform with respect to our services. We feel we require a minimum of $1,000,000 to provide sufficient capital to fully develop our business plan. Our limited marketing activities may not attract enough paying customers to generate sufficient revenue to operate profitably, expand our services, implement our business plan or continue operating our business. Our limited marketing capabilities may have a negative effect on our business and may cause us to limit or cease our business operations, which could result in investors losing some or all of their investment in the Company.
Specificity’s ability to generate new business from new and existing clients may be limited.
To increase its revenues, Specificity needs to obtain additional clients or generate demand for additional services from existing clients. Specificity’s ability to generate initial demand for its services from new clients and additional demand from existing clients is subject to such clients’ and potential clients’ requirements, pre-existing vendor relationships, financial conditions, strategic plans and internal resources, as well as the quality of Specificity’s employees, services and reputation and the breadth of its services. To the extent Specificity cannot generate new business from new and existing clients due to these limitations, Specificity’s ability to grow its business and to increase its revenues will be limited.

Specificity’s business could be adversely affected if it loses or fails to attract or retain key executives or employees.
Employees, including creative, research, analytics, media, technology development, account and practice group specialists, and their skills and relationships with clients, are among Specificity’s most important assets. An important aspect of Specificity’s competitiveness is its ability to retain key employee and management personnel. Compensation for these key employees is an essential factor in attracting and retaining them, and Specificity may not offer a level of compensation sufficient to attract and retain these key employees. If Specificity fails to hire and retain a sufficient number of these key employees, it may not be able to compete effectively. Management succession at our operating units is very important to the ongoing results of Specificity because, as in any service business, the success of a particular agency is dependent upon the leadership of key executives and management. If key executives were to leave our operating units, the relationships that Specificity has with its clients could be adversely affected.
Specificity is exposed to the risk of client defaults.
Specificity’s agencies often incur expenses on behalf of their clients for productions and in order to secure a variety of media time and space, in exchange for which they receive a fee. The difference between the gross production costs and media purchases and the revenue earned by us can be significant. While Specificity takes precautions against default on payment for these services (such as credit analysis, advance billing of clients, and in some cases acting as an agent for a disclosed principal) and has historically had a very low incidence of default, Specificity is still exposed to the risk of significant uncollectible receivables from our clients. The risk of a material loss could significantly increase in periods of severe economic downturn. Such a loss could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
Specificity is subject to regulations and litigation risk that could restrict our activities or negatively impact our revenues.
Advertising and marketing communications businesses are subject to government regulation, both domestic and foreign. There has been an increasing trend in the United States for advertisers to resort to litigation and self-regulatory bodies to challenge comparative advertising on the grounds that the advertising is false and deceptive. Moreover, there has recently been an expansion of specific rules, prohibitions, media restrictions, labeling disclosures, and warning requirements with respect to advertising for certain products. Proposals have been made to ban the advertising of specific products and to impose taxes on or deny deductions for advertising which, if successful, may have an adverse effect on advertising expenditures and consequently, on Specificity’s revenues.
In addition, laws and regulations related to consumer privacy, use of personal information and digital tracking technologies have been proposed or enacted in the United States and certain international markets (including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, or “GDPR,” the proposed European Union “ePrivacy Regulation” and the recently enacted California Consumer Privacy Act, or “CCPA”). We face increasing costs of compliance in an uncertain regulatory environment and any failure to comply with these legal requirements could result in regulatory penalties or other legal ability. Furthermore, these laws and regulations may impact the efficacy and profitability of certain digital marketing and analytics services we provide to clients, making it difficult to achieve our clients’ goals. These and other related factors could affect our business and reduce demand for certain of our services, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.
Compliance with data privacy laws requires ongoing investment in systems, policies and personnel and will continue to impact our business in the future by increasing legal, operational and compliance costs. While we have taken steps to comply with data privacy laws, we cannot guarantee that our efforts will meet the evolving standards imposed by data protection authorities. In the event that we are found to have violated data privacy laws, we may be subject to additional potential private consumer, business partner or securities litigation, regulatory inquiries, governmental investigations and proceedings and we may incur damage to our reputation. Any such developments may subject us to material fines and other monetary penalties and damages, divert management’s time and attention, and lead to enhanced regulatory oversight all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We rely extensively on information technology systems and cybersecurity incidents could adversely affect us.
We rely on information technologies and infrastructure to manage our business, including digital storage of client marketing and advertising information and developing new business opportunities. Increased cybersecurity threats and attacks, which are becoming more sophisticated, pose a risk to our systems and networks. Security breaches, improper use of our systems and unauthorized access to our data and information by employees and others may pose a risk that sensitive data may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public. We also have access to sensitive or personal data or information that is subject to privacy laws and regulations. Our systems and processes to protect against, detect, prevent, respond to and mitigate cybersecurity incidents and our organizational training for employees to develop an understanding of cybersecurity risks and threats may be unable to prevent material security breaches, theft, modification or loss of data, employee malfeasance and additional known and unknown threats. In addition, we use third-party service providers, including cloud providers, to store, transmit and process data. Any breakdown or breach in our systems or data-protection policies, or those of our third-party service providers, could adversely affect our reputation or business.
We are dependent upon our current officer.
We currently are managed by three key officers and we are entirely dependent upon them in order to conduct our operations. If he should resign or die, there will be no one to run Specificity, and the company has no Key Man insurance. If our current officer is no longer able to serve as such and we are unable to find another person to replace him, it will have a negative effect on our ability to continue active business operations and could result in investors losing some or all of their investment in the Company.

Our controlling stockholder has significant influence over the Company.
As of December 31, 2021, Jason Wood the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, owns 89% of the outstanding common stock, which becomes 82% if all of the shares offered are sold and all holders of Series B Preferred convert their shares. Additionally, Mr. Wood also holds 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred which have voting rights, at all times, equal to 80% of all voting rights. As a result, Jason Wood possesses significant influence over our affairs. His stock ownership and position as a director may have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Minority shareholders of Specificity, Inc. will be unable to affect the outcome of stockholder voting as long as Jason Wood retains a controlling interest.
We Have Minimal Revenues and Our Ability to Sustain Our Operations Is Dependent On Our Ability To Raise Financing.
We have accrued net losses for the period from our inception on November 25, 2020 to December 31, 2021, and have limited revenues as of this date. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations in development of our business. Further, the finances required to fully develop our plan cannot be predicted with any certainty and may exceed any estimates we set forth. If we fail to raise sufficient capital when needed, we will not be able to complete our business plan. As a result we may have to liquidate our business and you may lose your investment. You should consider our independent registered public accountant’s comments when determining if an investment in Specificity, Inc. is suitable.
-13-
We require minimum funding of approximately $1,000,000 to conduct our proposed operations for a period of one year. If we are not able to raise this amount, or if we experience a shortage of funds prior to funding we may utilize funds from our officer and director who has informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for professional fees, including fees payable in connection with the filing of this registration statement and operation expenses. However, he has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the Company. After one year we may need additional financing.
Item 2. Properties
The Company leases offices used for operations under a non-cancelable agreement. Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $22,750. The aggregate future annual minimum rental payments under the lease agreements as of December 31, 2021 are as follows:
| Years ending December 31,: | ||||
| 2022 | $ | 42,630 | ||
| 2023 | 43,908 | |||
| 2024 | 22,278 | |||
| $ | 108,816 | |||
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are not involved in any pending legal proceeding nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us.
There is no material bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceeding with respect to the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries. However, given the Company’s insolvency, there is a high risk that the Company may be forced to file for bankruptcy if the Company is unable to meet its capital requirements in 2022.
There are no administrative or judicial proceedings arising from any federal, state, or local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primary for the purpose of protecting the environment.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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-K, including “Risk Factors,” 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 this 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.

Strategic Vision
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. |
Digital Marketing
As a digital marketing agency, Specificity is an early adopter of innovative digital marketing tools. Our team keeps our clients ahead of the technology curve instead of chasing it. Our ability to identify audiences in granular ways other tech companies have given up on, positions us well to deliver better results at lower costs. By delivering ads to more targeted audiences, our clients enjoy the benefit of focusing 100% of their digital spend on audiences that make sense for their products and services. While the large social media/tech companies are eliminating or limiting access to targeting tools, we continue to add better targeting tools all the time.
As digital marketing continues to evolve, Specificity finds itself with an incredibly unique opportunity. While the large tech companies and social media firms are removing targeting mechanisms from their platforms, businesses are waking up to the fact that more targeted audiences lower their CPA (cost per acquisition) and dramatically improve their ROI. As each day goes by, business owners have learned that the less targeted their campaigns are the more money and time they waste. Reaching the audiences they were easily able to reach just a few years back is made more expensive with the removal of targeting mechanisms. It is all done in the name of political correctness, but it is obvious to most, that their true motivation is to drive ad spend up to drive revenue for themselves.
All of these events put Specificity in a great position to acquire new clients in mass. Our capital raise will in large part be used to grow our sales team in two regions initially and then expand quickly thereafter. The two regions we are starting with are the Tampa and New England markets and will be targeting clients with revenues between$5,000,000 and $25,000,000. The revenue target speaks to both retainer and retention. We know that clients with this type of revenue typically have internal marketing teams that are more suited to understand analytics and can more easily track results. When this is the case, these clients stay longer and are more active in running the campaign making it far easier to produce new creative and get it approved more quickly, a critical component for campaign optimization.
-17-
We also know that clients with these revenues spend on average, $5,100 per month. This is important because this retainer level ensures profitability after accounting for sales expense and the overhead required to execute a campaign. While Specificity welcomes smaller businesses as well as larger businesses, targeting these size companies through our sales efforts will ensure both long-term retention and profitability. Both Tampa and the New England region have a plethora of companies that fall into this category. Tampa has 9,991 companies with annual revenue between 5 and 25 million. (insert breakdown provided here for Tampa as well as New England here) The New England market boasts far more in our targeted range.
In addition to being home to many companies we seek to engage, there is another reason these two regions were selected. Kevin Frisbie is an investor in Specificity and possesses a long track record for running highly productive sales teams. He will be recruiting, training and managing the sales team in the New England market and clearly has a vested interest in its’ success. Our CEO, Jason Wood, similarly possesses a long track record for managing sales teams and will be recruiting, training and managing the team in the Tampa market. Between the two of these seasoned pros, growing their respective markets should be accomplished in the timeline provided in the projections.
While we project strong revenue growth in 2021, our other mission is to buildout internal capacity to facilitate growth. A portion of our capital raise will go towards that end. Having a well-trained staff in place will not only allow for the expeditious on-boarding of new clients but will also go a long way in retaining clients we bring on. Strong client retention is foundational to long-term success in our business. We have already automated much of what we do so the length of time required to properly train people is drastically reduced.
Tech Incubator
In the digital marketing space, there are numerous opportunities for project completion. Men and women across the country have great ideas but not the resources to finish their projects. Our model is simple, once we identify these opportunities, we will negotiate an equity share position in return for using our resources to complete the buildout. These resources include our website design team, programmers, graphic designers, digital marketers and management.
Due to the nature of what we do, we welcome these projects with both the ability to help complete them and the ability to market
them. We can identify the audience most likely to use them and then aggressively advertise to that audience. Our goal in doing
so is to spin them off into their own company and then take our profit when the time is right.
PickPocket
This model is being proven now. Specificity acquired, then completed a digital marketing platform called PickPocket. It offers its users location-based device ID extraction in a self-serve platform wherein users can define the parameters of their own campaign. It aims to compete with the marketing mechanisms in social media companies. Just as they are removing targeting capabilities, PickPocket will hit the market offering very granular targeting. Users on PickPocket are in total control of their campaign and can dictate spend level, locations to target, and the duration of the campaign. Forty-eight hours after the campaign is complete, PickPocket clients get an email containing detailed analytics, including foot traffic attribution reporting. This reporting tells the client how many people physically visited their location out of all the device IDs that were marketed to during the campaign. The report also contains tracking for impressions, clicks, form fills, and ecommerce conversions where appropriate. We have launched PickPocket and will be fully capitalizing the marketing in the coming weeks.
The Investor Center
Another project we have brought in-house is the Investor Center. This is an online portal allowing investors to completely customize their own user experience. They can choose what news feeds to populate on their home screen, which stocks to follow, what industries to track, which OTC companies to follow, which companies seeking private investment to keep track of and much, much more. This service is subscription based.
In addition to providing users with a customized experience, The Investor Center brings together companies seeking investment with brokers, investors and private equity firms. Paid advertising on the platform is available for companies seeking to garner investor attention or for brokers seeking to offer their services to investors. There are many revenue streams available, and our sales team will be run by someone that has spent 30 years in this space, Jim Price.
-18-
Currently, we have completed the website buildout with full functionality and will be launching very soon. The future goal for the investor center is to utilize a full stack developer to turn this into a native app for iPhone and Android.
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,381,405 and used cash of $1,106,374 in operating activities. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.
In order to further implement its business plan and satisfy its working capital requirements, the Company will need to raise additional capital. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise additional equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, if at all.
There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Those material accounting estimates that we believe are the most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition are discussed immediately below and are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates.
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
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.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned, and less-than-wholly owned subsidiaries of which the Company holds a controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Amounts attributable to minority interests in the Company’s less-than-wholly owned subsidiary are presented as non-controlling interest on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.
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.
-19-
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company classifies its highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash equivalents. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates the designations of each investment as of the balance sheet date for each reporting period. The Company classifies its investments as either short-term or long-term based on each instrument’s underlying contractual maturity date. Investments with maturities of less than 12 months are classified as short-term and those with maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long-term. The cost of investments sold is based upon the specific identification method.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable is recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, if needed. The Company considers any changes to the financial condition of its financial institutions used and any other external market factors that could impact the collectability of its receivables in the determination of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not expect to have write-offs or adjustments to accounts receivable which could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows as the portion which is deemed uncollectible is already taken into account when the revenue is recognized.
Leases
The Company leases offices used for operations under a non-cancelable agreement. Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $22,750. The aggregate future annual minimum rental payments under the lease agreements as of December 31, 2021 are as follows:
| Years ending December 31,: | ||||
| 2022 | $ | 42,630 | ||
| 2023 | 43,908 | |||
| 2024 | 22,278 | |||
| $ | 108,816 | |||
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or do not occur. We assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to pending legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in our consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable would be disclosed.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) to measure and disclosure the fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:
| Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
| Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
| Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
-20-
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements for cash, accounts 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.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful life of five (5) years. Upon sale or retirement of equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or their estimated fair values less costs to sell and are not depreciated. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no asset impairments.
Income taxes
The Company recognizes 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 tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company’s income tax returns are based on calculations and assumptions that are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. In addition, the calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. While the Company believes it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns, the Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of examinations by tax authorities in determining the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provision, income taxes payable and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known. As of September 30, the Company does not believe any provisions are required in connection with uncertain tax positions as there are none.

Revenue recognition
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASC 606 upon Inception.
The Company provides online marketing services. The Company’s revenue is generated on services priced at fixed rates. Revenue is recorded as services are performed which typically all occurs within a calendar month.
Per Share Information
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 December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company does not have any dilutive shares.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company recognizes as compensation expense all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors, and consultants including grants of stock, stock options and warrants, based on estimated fair values. Fair value is generally determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is recognized over the service period.
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 expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the Company’s future financial statements due to the recognition of right of a right of use asset and liability in connection with the lease disclosed below.
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.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2021 as Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2020
Revenues
During the year ended December 31, 2021, revenues increased by $655,029, from $93,983 for the year ended December 31, 2020, to $749,012 in 2021 as a result of a full year of operation in 2021.
-22-
Cost of Revenues
During the year ended December 31, 2021, cost of revenues increased by $356,285 from $16,170 for the year ended December 31, 2020, to $372,455 in 2021, as a result of a full year of operation in 2021. Costs of revenues may shift dramatically depending upon how the Company’s comparative revenue profile of the products and services shift in the future.
Operating Expenses
During the year ended December 31, 2021, operating expenses increased by $2,554,685, from $153,277 for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $2,707,962 in 2021 due materially to an increase in sales and marketing, and increase in general and administrative expenses, and an increase in officer compensation. The Company’s Operating Expenses may vary quarter to quarter as a result of changes to sales and marketing costs, general and administrative expenses, and other costs associated with the Company’s new and existing projects as well as other projects that it is currently reviewing.
Other Expenses
During the year ended December 31, 2021, Other Expenses increased by $50,000 from $0 for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $50,000 in 2021 as a result of interest expense. Given the Company’s financing requirements in developing its new business models, the Company’s other (income) expenses may increase over time as the Company explores the use of additional debt financing.
Net Loss
As a result of the above, Net Loss increased by $2,305,941 from $75,464 for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $2,381,405 in 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Working Capital
We have, since inception, financed operations and capital expenditures through the sale of stock and convertible notes and debt. Our immediate sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and unbilled receivables.
At December 31, 2021, we had a net working capital deficit of approximately $379,819 compared to a net working capital surplus of $237,035 at December 31, 2020. We relied on proceeds from financing activities from the sale of preferred and common stock throughout fiscal year 2021. We relied on proceeds from the sale of common stock, the sale of preferred stock, and accounts payable throughout fiscal 2020.
We must successfully execute our business plan to increase profitability in order to achieve positive cash flows to sustain adequate liquidity without requiring additional funds from external sources to meet minimum operating requirements. We may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all.
Generally, the Company has insufficient capital to maintain operations. Cashflows from operations of the Company and all its subsidiary holdings will not sustain the Company’s operations, let alone its filing requirements, unless there is substantial influx of cash flow through either debt and/or equity financing.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities provides an indication of our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from our recurring business activities.
-23-
For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in operations was approximately $1,106,374 driven primarily by current year operating loss, offset primarily by the acquisition of Pick Pocket and subscription payable treated as officer compensation.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in operations was approximately $54,194 driven by current year operating loss, offset primarily by stock-based compensation and account payable.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $21,142 in cash flows from investing activities, primarily due to the purchase of property and equipment.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had $0 in cash flows from investing activities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities provides an indication of our debt financing and proceeds from capital raise transactions.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1,548,249, primarily due to the proceeds from sale of common stock and proceeds from subscription receivables.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, cash provided by financing activities was approximately $271,302, primarily from the proceeds from the sale of preferred stock and the proceeds from the sale of common stock.
In the short term, we must raise additional capital through debt or equity financing to support our business operations and grow our business. Over the long term, we must successfully execute our growth plans to increase profitable revenue and income streams to generate positive cash flows to sustain adequate liquidity without impairing growth initiatives or requiring the infusion of additional funds from external sources to meet minimum operating requirements. We may need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
Not required of smaller reporting companies.

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation and the identification of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
-24-
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation and the identification of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report , using the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The term “internal control over financial reporting”, as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, means a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive officer and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, 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 and includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Based upon the evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting at the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting were not effective as a result of continuing weaknesses principally due to the following:
| - | The Company has not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically because there are few employees and only one officers with management functions and therefore there is lack of segregation of duties. | |
| - | An outside consultant assists in the preparation of the annual and quarterly financial statements and partners with the Company to ensure compliance with US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. | |
| - | Outside counsel assists the Company in the external attorneys to review and editing of the annual and quarterly filings and to ensure compliance with SEC disclosure requirements. |
At such time as the Company raises additional working capital it plans to add staff, initiate training, add additional subject matter expertise in its finance area so that it may improve it processes, policies, procedures, and documentation of its internal control processes.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND THE PERIOD
FROM NOVEMBER 25, 2020 TO DECEMBER 31, 2020
INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-33-
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Specificity, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Specificity, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from November 25, 2020 (Inception) to December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the period from Inception to December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s current period net loss and the use of cash flow from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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”). Also see Note 3.
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company classifies its highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase as cash equivalents. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates the designations of each investment as of the balance sheet date for each reporting period. The Company classifies its investments as either short-term or long-term based on each instrument’s underlying contractual maturity date. Investments with maturities of less than 12 months are classified as short-term and those with maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long-term. The cost of investments sold is based upon the specific identification method.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable is recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, if needed. The Company considers any changes to the financial condition of its financial institutions used and any other external market factors that could impact the collectability of its receivables in the determination of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not expect to have write-offs or adjustments to accounts receivable which could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows as the portion which is deemed uncollectible is already taken into account when the revenue is recognized.
Revenue Recognition
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted ASC 606 upon Inception.
The Company provides online marketing services. The Company’s revenue is generated on services priced at fixed rates. Revenue is recorded as services are performed which typically all occurs within a calendar month.
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.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful life of . Upon sale or retirement of equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or asset group exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or their estimated fair values less costs to sell and are not depreciated. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no asset impairments.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes 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 tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company’s income tax returns are based on calculations and assumptions that are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. In addition, the calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. While the Company believes it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns, the Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of examinations by tax authorities in determining the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provision, income taxes payable and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known. As of September 30, the Company does not believe any provisions are required in connection with uncertain tax positions as there are none.

SPECIFICITY, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company does not have any dilutive shares.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company recognizes as compensation expense all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors, and consultants including grants of stock, stock options and warrants, based on estimated fair values. Fair value is generally determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and is recognized over the service period.
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 expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the Company’s future financial statements due to the recognition of right of a right of use asset and liability in connection with the lease disclosed below.
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 year ended December 31, 2021, 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 9 for additional fund received during the year ended December 31, 2021 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.
