SRM Entertainment, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations
SRM Entertainment, Inc. (“SRM
Inc”) is a
The Company’s principal business is the design, manufacture, and sale of toys to premier theme parks.
Going Concern Consideration
As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company
had accumulated deficits of $
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
| F-6 |
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, enhancing segment reporting requirements under ASC 280. This ASU aims to provide investors with more detailed information about a public entity’s reportable segments, including those with a single reportable segment. The Key Provisions include:
1. Enhanced Expense Disclosures: Public entities must now disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss.
3. Disclosure of Other Segment Items: Entities are required to disclose an amount for “other segment items” by reportable segment, representing the difference between reported segment revenues and the sum of significant segment expenses and the reported measure of segment profit or loss. A qualitative description of the composition of these other segment items is also required.Interim Reporting Requirements: All annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets, including the new disclosures introduced by ASU 2023-07, must now be provided in interim periods as well.
4. Single Reportable Segment Entities: Public entities with a single reportable segment are explicitly required to provide all segment disclosures mandated by ASC 280, including those introduced by ASU 2023-07. This clarification ensures that users receive comprehensive information about the entity’s operations and performance.
5. Disclosure of CODM Information: Entities must disclose the title and position of the CODM and explain how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing performance and allocating resources.
These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the ASU for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with
a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. There were
Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk
Accounts receivable are generated from sales of the Company’s products. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not recognize any allowance for doubtful collections
Inventory
Inventories will be stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company will periodically review the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold. Inventory is based upon the average cost method of accounting.
Investments in Non-Marketable Equity Securities
Investments in non-marketable equity investments, including private company investments acquired through private placements, are accounted for using the alternative measurement under ASC 321. Under this method, investments are carried at cost, less any impairment, and adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company assesses non-marketable equity investments for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the investment may be impaired. If the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings.
Fixed Assets and Other Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost at the date of purchase. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term.
The Company purchases molds for the manufacture of some of its products and are included in fixed assets at cost. Certain agreements call for the manufacturer to reimburse the Company for the cost of the molds upon first shipment of products produced using the molds. The costs of these molds are removed from fixed assets upon reimbursement. Molds that are not subject to reimbursement are depreciated when the products are in production.
| F-7 |
Net income (loss) per share of Common Stock is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all Common Stock instruments such as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. As such, options, warrants, convertible securities, and preferred stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the potential shares of Common Stock would be to decrease the loss per share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will generate its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user (the “customer”).
The Company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
| ● | identify the contract with a customer; | |
| ● | identify the performance obligations in the contract; | |
| ● | determine the transaction price; | |
| ● | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and | |
| ● | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when goods or products are shipped on a FOB shipping point basis as title passes when shipped. Our products are generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return, refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.
| F-8 |
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions and translation for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 and the cumulative translation gains and losses as of March 31, 2025 and December 31 2024 were not material.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
The Company has adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to its financial position. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates as a single reportable segment. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) (our CEO, Richard Miller) reviews the financial performance of the company on a consolidated basis and makes decisions regarding resource allocation at that level. The CODM has determined that all of the revenue, costs and expenses are attributable to the Company’s principal business with the exception of certain general and administrative expenses related to being a public company. As a result, the company has determined that it operates in a single operating segment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 280, Segment Reporting. The Company’s principal business is the design, manufacture, and sale of toys to premier theme parks. Revenues from external customers are derived from e-commerce, distributors, and direct to retail consumers.
Related parties
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

Business
The Company is a trusted toy and souvenir designer and developer, selling into the world’s largest theme parks and entertainment venues.
Our business is built on the principle that almost everyone is a fan of something and the evolution of pop culture is leading to increasing opportunities for fan loyalty. We create whimsical, fun and unique products that enable fans to express their affinity for their favorite “something”—whether it is a movie, TV show, favorite celebrity, or favorite restaurant. We infuse our distinct designs and aesthetic sensibility into a wide variety of product categories, including figures, plush, accessories, apparel, and homewares. With our unique style, expertise in pop culture, broad product distribution and highly accessible price points, we have developed a passionate following for our products that has underpinned our growth. We believe we sit at the nexus of pop culture—content providers value us for our broad network of retail customers, retailers value us for our portfolio of pop culture products and pop culture insights, and consumers value us for our distinct, stylized products and the content they represent.
Pop culture pervades modern life and almost everyone is a fan of something. Today, more quality content is available and technology innovation has made content accessible anytime, anywhere. As a result, the breadth and depth of pop culture fandom resembles, and in many cases exceeds, the type of fandom previously associated only with sports. Everyday interactions at home, work or with friends are increasingly influenced by pop culture.
We have invested strategically in our relationships with key constituents in pop culture. Content providers value us for our broad network of retail customers and retailers value us for our pop culture products, pop culture insights and ability to drive consumer traffic. Consumers, who value us for our distinct, stylized products, remain at the center of everything we do.
Content Providers: We have licensing relationships with many established content providers, and our products appear in venues such as Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Cedar Fair, Herschend Family Entertainment and Merlin Entertainment. We currently have licenses with Smurfs, The ICEE Company and Zoonicorn LLC, from which we can create multiple products based on each character within. Content providers trust us to design, create and manufacture unique, stylized extensions of their intellectual property that extend the relevance of their content with consumers through ongoing engagement, helping to maximize the lifetime value of their content.
Consumers: Fans are increasingly looking for ways to express their affinity for and engage with their favorite pop culture content. Over time, many of our consumers evolve from occasional buyers to more frequent purchasers, whom we categorize as enthusiasts or collectors. We create innovative products to appeal to a broad array of fans across consumer demographic groups—men, women, boys and girls—not a single, narrow demographic. We currently offer an array of products that sell across several categories. Our products are generally priced between $2.50 and $50.00, which allows our diverse consumer base to express their fandom frequently and impulsively. We continue to introduce innovative products designed to facilitate fan engagement at different price points and styles.
We have developed a nimble and low-fixed cost production model. The strength of our management team and relationships with content providers, retailers and third-party manufacturers allows us to move from product concept to a new product tactfully. As a result, we can dynamically manage our business to balance current content releases and pop culture trends with timeless content based on classic movies, such as Harry Potter or Star Wars. This has allowed us to deliver significant growth while lessening our dependence on individual content releases.

December Registered Direct Offering
On December 5, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the institutional investors named on the signature page thereto (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of (i) 1,580,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price of $0.7385 per share, and (ii) 712,133 pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 712,133 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.7384 per Pre-Funded Warrant, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1.7 million, before deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company (the “December Registered Offering”).
Pursuant to a placement agency agreement dated as of December 5, 2024 (the “Placement Agency Agreement”), the Company engaged D. Boral Capital LLC (the “Placement Agent”) to act as the sole placement agent in connection with the offering. The Company agreed to (i) pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 8.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the December Registered Offering, and (ii) reimburse the Placement Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs, and disbursements of its legal counsel of $50,000.
The shares of common stock, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares were offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-282028), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 19, 2024, and a related prospectus supplement, dated December 5, 2024, related to the December Registered Offering. The December Registered Offering closed on December 6, 2024.
Nasdaq Listing Deficiency
On October 21, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter (from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company is not currently in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”).
The Notice has no immediate effect on the continued listing status of the common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and, therefore, the Company’s listing remains fully effective.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company is provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until April 21, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days prior to April 21, 2025.
If the Company is not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by April 21, 2025, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify for this additional compliance period, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price requirement.
The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of the common stock and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 days to regain compliance, or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period, including any extensions that Nasdaq grants, Nasdaq will provide notice that the common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

October Registered Direct Offering
On October 18, 2024, and October 19, 2024, the Company entered into four Securities Purchase Agreements (each an “SPA”) with four accredited investors (the “Investors”), for the purchase and sale in a registered direct offering of 1,711,477 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.61 per share, generating gross proceeds from the offering of approximately $1,044,000 (the “October Registered Direct Offering”). Three SPAs, each dated as of October 18, 2024, were entered into with three investors, and one SPA, dated as of October 19, 2024, was entered into with a single investor. The Company did not utilize a placement agent or underwriter in connection with the October Registered Direct Offering.
Asset Purchase Agreement with Suretone Entertainment
On September 3, 2024, the Company (or “Buyer”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”)with Suretone Entertainment, Inc. (“Suretone” or “Seller”) pursuant to which the Buyer has agreed to acquire certain assets related to the movie with the title The Kid(directed by Vincent D’Onofrio) from the Seller, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). Jordan Schur, the owner and Chief Executive Officer of Suretone, is a board member and President of Safety Shot. As of March 6, 2025, Safety Shot holds 13.6% of the Company’s common stock.
In consideration for the acquired assets, the Buyer paid the Purchase Price by: (i) paying $250,000 in cash on September 3, 2024); (ii) issuing 1,500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (valued at $0.8333 per share); and (iii) issuing a secured promissory note in the original amount of $1,500,000 (the “Secured Note”). The Secured Note will bear interest at the rate of 8%per annum and will mature on September 3,2025 (the “Maturity Date”), calculated on a 365-day year, and is due along with the principal on the Maturity Date. The Secured Note is secured by the assets purchased pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement. If the Company secures financing of at least $5 million during the term of the Secured Note, it must use the proceeds to repay the Secured Note. The Company can prepay the Secured Note at any time without penalty but must provide 15 days’ notice to Suretone. The Secured Note is subject to immediate acceleration if the Company commences bankruptcy proceedings, if it winds down its operations, if the Company fails to stay current in its SEC reporting obligations, or if the Company’s common stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market. At December 31, 2024, the Company owed $500,000 on the principal balance of the Secured Note.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of the 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 revenue generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our 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 and any such differences may be material. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes of the statement of cash flows. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Net Loss per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. As such, options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share.

Revenue Recognition
The Company generates its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user or distributor (collectively the “customer”).
The Company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
| ● | identify the contract with a customer; |
| ● | identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | determine the transaction price; |
| ● | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and |
| ● | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when goods or products are shipped on an FOB shipping point basis as title passes when shipped. Our product is generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return, refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold. Inventory is based upon the average cost method of accounting.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on our evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Since we were incorporated on October 24, 2018, the evaluation was performed for 2018 tax year, which would be the only period subject to examination. We believe that our income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to our financial position. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.
The Company’s deferred tax asset at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using effective tax rates (20.6% average of China and US rates) equating to approximately $1,504,698 and $1,377,232 respectively, less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $1,504,698 fully offset by a valuation allowance in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and years ended December 31, 2024.

Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, enhancing segment reporting requirements under ASC 280. This ASU aims to provide investors with more detailed information about a public entity’s reportable segments, including those with a single reportable segment. The Key Provisions include:
| 1. | Enhanced Expense Disclosures: Public entities must now disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss. | |
| 2. | Disclosure of Other Segment Items: Entities are required to disclose an amount for “other segment items” by reportable segment, representing the difference between reported segment revenues and the sum of significant segment expenses and the reported measure of segment profit or loss. A qualitative description of the composition of these other segment items is also required. | |
| 3. | Interim Reporting Requirements: All annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets, including the new disclosures introduced by ASU 2023-07, must now be provided in interim periods as well. | |
| 4. | Single Reportable Segment Entities: Public entities with a single reportable segment are explicitly required to provide all segment disclosures mandated by ASC 280, including those introduced by ASU 2023-07. This clarification ensures that users receive comprehensive information about the entity’s operations and performance. | |
| 5. | Disclosure of CODM Information: Entities must disclose the title and position of the CODM and explain how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing performance and allocating resources. |
These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the ASU for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The company evaluated issued pronouncements and did not identify any additional recent pronouncements that apply to the company.

The operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, consisted of (i) marketing expense of $23,122, (ii) legal and professional fees of $198,070, (iii) amortization and depreciation of $81,571, (iv) rent and utilities of $20,323, (v) general and administrative expense of $443,044 and (vi) $147,780 of stock based compensation, versus the operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, consisting of (i) marketing expense of $20,403, (ii) legal and professional fees of $443,637, (iii) amortization and depreciation of $2,887, (iv) rent and utilities of $9,646, (v) general and administrative expense of $379,525 and (vi) $1,022,455 of stock based compensation.
The Company had interest income of $6,295 and interest expense of $5,506 (net $789) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $5,002 interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Income/Losses
Net losses were $646,586 and $1,710,004 for the three months March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations since inception. We believe that we can offset inflationary increases in the cost of operations by increasing sales and improving operating efficiency.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “variable interest entities.”
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $895,930 in cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $456,443 from the $1,352,373 we had as of December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, we had approximately $2,202,541 in working capital, a decrease of $243.564 from the $2,446,105 we had at December 31, 2024.
Operating Activities:
Net cash used in our operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $206,514 compared to $1,170,367 used during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Financing Activities:
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we paid $250,000 on a promissory note to a related party issued in connection with our purchase of the movie entitled “The Kid” leaving a balance of $250,000 at March 31, 2025, on the original principal of $1,500,000.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e). The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching the Company’s desired disclosure control objectives. In designing periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated 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 assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company’s certifying officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching that level of assurance.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
| 11 |
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Management has confidence in its internal controls and procedures. The Company’s management believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable assurance and cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met, and no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Further, the design of an internal control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitation in all internal control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issuers and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
