1. Business
Vynleads, Inc. (“Vynleads”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on July 15, 2015. We are a provider of health and wellness information principally targeted to people who have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. We provide information to our customers who are seeking to make healthy choices by providing clear, generic blueprints, education, resources, and support. Our core product is our proprietary Lifestyle Blueprint, a digital guide that provides dietary recommendations for a very low calorie eight-week diet together with information focusing on what, how and how much a person eats, nutritional information and how a person’s body does and does not use food to enable our customers to continue leading a more successful lifestyle. We also offer nutritional supplements and monthly subscriptions to our proprietary newsletter which covers a wide variety of healthy living-related topics.
Our corporate headquarters are located in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
2. Going Concern
Our unaudited condensed financial statements have been presented on the
basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. Since July 15, 2015, the date of our inception, we have experienced recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows,
and have financed our recent working capital requirements primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities, as well as borrowings
from related parties. During the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we have reported
net losses of $
Despite our current sales, expense, cash flow projections, and aggregate
cash and holdback receivable from our merchant, net of reserve for refunds, of $
Our ability to meet our current and projected obligations depends on our ability to generate sufficient sales and to control expenses and will require that we seek additional capital through private and/or public financing sources. There can be no assurances that we will achieve our forecasted financial results or that we will be able to raise additional capital to operate our business. Any such failure would have a material adverse impact on our liquidity and financial condition and could force us to curtail or discontinue operations entirely and could require us to file for protection under bankruptcy laws. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting Principles
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) of Vynleads, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, the Financial Statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2022 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 2022 fiscal year. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the Company and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”).

Use of Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We believe that judgement is involved in determining the valuation of our reserve for refunds, our holdback reserve, the fair value-based measurement of stock-based compensation, accruals and the estimated useful life of intangible assets. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and those differences could be material to the Financial Statements.
Cash
Cash includes cash on hand, is deposited at one area bank and may exceed federally insured limits at times. We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value.
Holdback Receivable
Holdback receivable includes a merchant holdback net of a reserve for refunds,
which reserve is $
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Topic 606. Revenues are recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to our customers at a point in time, in an amount specified in the contract with our customer and that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company also assesses our customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including our customer’s historical payment experience and financial condition.
We generate revenues primarily from (i) internet content subscriptions and (ii) sales of nutritional supplements. Revenues are recognized upon the acceptance of subscription membership or shipment of nutritional supplements, provided that an order has been received or a contract executed, there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is deemed reasonably assured. If uncertainties regarding customer acceptance exist, we recognize revenues when those uncertainties are resolved, and title has been transferred to the customer. Amounts collected or billed prior to satisfying the above revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue.
Our percentages of revenue by type for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:
| Three months ended | ||||||||
| March 31, | ||||||||

Shipping and Handling Costs
We include shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenue and shipping and handling costs for shipments to customers as cost of revenue.

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus additional weighted-average common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, the proceeds of which are then assumed to have been used to repurchase outstanding common stock using the treasury stock method. In addition, the numerator is adjusted for any changes in income (loss) that would result from the assumed conversion of potential shares. Potentially dilutive shares, which were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations because the effect would be antidilutive or the options and warrants exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares, were shares for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. We evaluate this tax position on a quarterly basis. We also accrue for potential interest and penalties, if applicable, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
We account for stock based instruments issued to employees and non-employees for services in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718.
Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Accordingly, the Black-Scholes option pricing model is utilized to derive an estimated fair value.
The Black-Scholes pricing model requires the consideration of the following six variables for purposes of estimating fair value:
| • | the stock option exercise price; | |
| • | the expected term of the option; | |
| • | the grant date price of our common stock, which is issuable upon exercise of the option; | |
| • | the expected volatility of our common stock; | |
| • | the expected dividends on our common stock (we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future); and | |
| • | the risk-free interest rate for the expected option term. |
Expected Dividends. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on any of our capital stock and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we use an expected dividend yield of zero to calculate the grant-date fair value of a stock option.
Expected Volatility. The expected volatility is a measure of the amount by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate during the expected term of options granted. We determine the expected volatility solely based upon the historical volatility of our common stock over a period commensurate with the option’s expected term. We do not believe that the future volatility of our common stock over an option’s expected term is likely to differ significantly from the past.

(UNAUDITED)
Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the option’s expected term on the grant date.
Expected Term. For option grants subsequent to the adoption of the fair value recognition provisions of the accounting standards, the expected life of stock options granted is based on the actual vesting date and the end of the contractual term.
Grant Date Price of Common Stock. The closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We follow Accounting Standards Codification 820-10 (“ASC 820-10”), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” for fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on an exit price, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard also prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity specific information and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.
The hierarchy established under ASC 820-10 gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:
Level 1 - Pricing inputs are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. As required by ASC 820-10, we do not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
Level 2 - Pricing inputs are quoted prices for similar investments, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term through corroboration with observable market data. Level 2 includes investments valued at quoted prices adjusted for legal or contractual restrictions specific to these investments.
Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment, that is, inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 includes investments that are supported by little or no market activity.
The carrying amounts of our cash, holdback receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have evaluated all issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and determined that they are either immaterial or not relevant to us.

6. Commitments and Contingencies
Employment Agreement
On June 14, 2018, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Mannine pursuant to which he was engaged to serve as our Chief Executive Officer. The initial term of the agreement expires in June 2023, subject to successive automatic one- year renewals unless a non-renewal notice is received by either party at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the then current renewal term.
Mr. Mannine’s compensation includes:
| • | an annual base salary of $ | |

| • | participation in all benefit plans we may offer our employees; and | |
| • | 20 paid vacation days annually. |
Mr. Mannine's employment agreement may be terminated, and he is entitled to certain payments upon such termination, as follows:
| • | if we should terminate Mr. Mannine’s employment without “cause” or if he should resign for “good reason" or if a “change of control” occurs, we are obligated to pay him a lump-sum severance payment equal to the sum of three months’ base salary, plus one month for every year he was employed and 50% of three years annual bonus (based on the prior year’s compensation); | |
| • | if Mr. Mannine’s employment is terminated as a result of his death or disability, he is entitled to receive his base salary and a pro-rata annual bonus, if any, based on the year during which such termination is effective; or | |

The employment agreement with Mr. Mannine contains customary confidentiality, non-compete and indemnification clauses.
On September 21, 2020, Mr. Mannine voluntarily agreed to cancel the employment
agreement and waive all cash due and any related accruals. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, $
Commitments

five year common stock warrants at an exercise price of $
We estimated the fair value of this warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the following assumptions: the recent cash offering price of $0.225 as the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock at the valuation measurement date; no dividend yield for all of the years; expected volatility of %; risk-free interest rate of % and an expected life of years.
On May 21, 2018, we entered into an Amended and Restated Strategic Financing & Corporate Development Agreement with CRG which was amended and restated an earlier agreement entered into in October 2017.

Inc (“Primoris”). Primoris was issued common shares at a fair value of $ ($ per share) on June 30, 2020.

Contingencies
In April 2016, we entered into a Promotion and Royalty Agreement (the “Agreement”) with a consultant to obtain certain promotional services from him (the “Promoter”), including the use of his name and appearance. In consideration for the services rendered by the Promoter, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to promote and sell a book authored by him (the “Book”) and to pay him a percentage of the sales of the Book after deductions for all direct costs of fulfilling such sales (the “Royalty”). During the course of 2017, the Promoter initiated a series of informal claims and filed unauthorized uniform commercial code financing statements (“UCC Liens”) in several states as liens against us and certain of our officers, directors, and founders, alleging non-payment for the Royalty amounts due under the Agreement. We dispute the Promoter’s claims and have determined that any and all amounts due to the Promoter under the Agreement have been paid in full. We have succeeded in removing certain of the UCC Liens and are pursuing action to remove the remaining unauthorized UCC Liens. We do not believe that the claims of the Promoter are valid in any respect.
7. Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers and Suppliers
None of our revenues are concentrated with any single customer composing 10% or more of our total revenues.
We purchase our inventory of herbal/natural supplements from one supplier. While we believe that we will be able to find a secondary supplier, there could be a manufacturing delay in the transition to a new supplier and such a supply interruption would materially impact our business for some period of time.

In December 2017 our board of directors adopted our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, or the “2017 Plan.” Our stockholders ratified the 2017 Plan in December 2017. The purpose of the 2017 Plan is to encourage ownership in our company by our officers, directors, employees and consultants, and to incentivize and align the interests of the plan participants with the interests of our stockholders. We have reserved shares of our common stock for issuance under the 2017 Plan. Grants pursuant to the 2017 Plan may be: i) incentive stock options; ii) non-statutory stock options; iii) stock awards, including shares of our common stock and stock units; and iv) stock appreciation rights.
The board of directors or a committee of the board of directors administers the 2017 Plan. Presently, the 2017 Plan is administered by our board of directors. The term of each plan option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors, provided that no option may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant. The terms of grants or any other type of award under the plan are determined by the board of directors or committee of the board of directors at the time of grant. The 2017 Plan provides that the maximum value of any award during any calendar year cannot exceed $1,000,000.

Any option granted under the plan must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, but the exercise price of any ISO granted under the 2017 Plan to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our outstanding common stock must not be less than 110% of fair market value on the date of the grant. The 2017 Plan further provides that with respect to ISOs the aggregate fair market value of the common stock underlying the options which are exercisable by any plan participant during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. Option awards may provide for the exercise by means of cash, consideration received by us under a broker-assisted sale and remittance program, cashless exercise, any other consideration legally permitted, or a combination of the foregoing. The 2017 Plan administrator may also determine the method of payment of the exercise price at the time the option is being exercised. Grants under the 2017 Plan are not transferrable.
Generally, options which are exercisable at the date of the plan participant’s termination from our employment or severance of the relationship with our company must be exercised within three months of the termination date; the plan administrator may extend the exercise period of the option for a separated plan participant providing that the extended date does not go beyond the original expiration date of the option. Similarly, generally options which are exercisable at the date of the plan participant’s disability or death must be exercised within six months of the termination date in the event of the disability of the plan participant or 12 months following the plan participant’s death. In our discretion, any outstanding options held by a plan participant terminated for cause may be immediately cancelled.
In the event there is a “change in control” of our company as defined in the 2017 Plan, as determined by the board of directors or the committee, we may in our discretion: i) provide for the assumption or substitution of, or adjustment (including to the number and type of shares and exercise or purchase price applicable) to, each outstanding award; ii) accelerate the vesting of options and terminate any restrictions on stock awards; and/or iii) provide for termination of awards as a result of the change in control on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, including providing for the cancellation of awards for a cash or other payment to the participant.
The number of shares of our common stock underlying any outstanding but unexercised option and the exercise price of that option will be proportionally adjusted in the event of a stock split, stock combinations, dividends, and similar corporate events.
On June 14, 2018, pursuant to the employment agreement with Mr. Mannine,
more fully described in Note 6, we issued stock options with an exercise price of
$. Such options fully vested upon the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1. We determined that the options had an
initial fair value of $. We estimated the fair value of these options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, based on the
following assumptions: the recent cash offering price of $0.225 as the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock at the valuation
measurement date; no dividend yield for all of the years; expected volatility of %; risk-free interest rate of % and an expected
life of years. We amortized the fair value over the period from their issuance on June 14, 2018 through December 7, 2018, the date
on which the registration statement was declared effective.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the intrinsic value for options outstanding and exercisable is $ and $, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Results of Operations
The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $2,069,465 as of March 31, 2022. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.
We will require additional capital to meet our short- and long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity securities.
Three months ended March 31, 2022 (“2022 first quarter”) compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 (“2021 first quarter”)
Revenues
Revenues for 2022 first quarter were $0 a decrease of $281, or 100.0%, from $281 for the 2021 first quarter. The decline for the quarter was across all product lines. COVID-19 has impacted our overall business due to change of interest in small cap market investments particularly. This has limited our ability to raise capital for advertising and marketing, thus reducing revenues in the first quarter. The decrease in sales for subscriptions and supplements was directly associated to a reduction in advertising spend for the quarter. The reduced advertising spend also impacted the number of new customers we acquired for the quarter, this included subscriptions and supplement product lines.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and operating expenses decreased $5,860, or 8.01%, to $79,048 for the 2022 first quarter from $73,188 for the 2021 first quarter. The decrease in operating costs and expenses was due to savings initiatives to offset the decline in revenue.
| • | Cost of revenue decreased $1,092, or 12.97%, to $7,328 in the 2022 first quarter compared to $8,419 in the 2021 first quarter. Our cost of revenue includes the cost of the supplements we sell as well as shipping and handling costs for shipments to customers. The decrease in cost of revenues is due to no revenue generated across all product lines in the 2022 first quarter. | |
| • | Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $6,951 or 10.73%, to $71,720 in the 2022 first quarter from $64,769 in the 2021 first quarter. The decrease in SG&A is principally attributable to decreases in consulting and accounting expenses, legal expenses, office expenses and general expenses. |
Net Loss
Our net loss for the 2022 first quarter was $82,187 compared to $75,458 for the 2021 first quarter. Increases in net loss are attributable to the decrease in revenues which was offset by the decrease in costs and expenses.
| 18 |
Liquidity and capital resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. The following table summarizes our total current assets, total current liabilities and working capital deficit at March 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021.
| March 31, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| (unaudited) | ||||||||
| Total current assets | $ | 20,544 | $ | 25,390 | ||||
| Total current liabilities | $ | 562,097 | $ | 517,256 | ||||
| Working capital deficit | $ | (541,553 | ) | $ | (491,866 | ) | ||
The reduction in total current assets between the periods primarily reflects a reduction in cash and decrease in prepaid expenses. The increase in total current liabilities reflects an increase in notes payable. We do not have any capital commitments and do not have any external sources of working capital available.
Going concern and management’s liquidity plans
The COVID-19 pandemic has materially and adversely impacted the U.S. economy and financial markets, with legislative and regulatory responses including unprecedented monetary and fiscal policy actions across all sectors, and there is significant uncertainty as to timing of stabilization and recovery. The extent of the COVID-19 impacts will depend on future actions and outcomes, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the outbreak, the short-term and long-term economic impact of the outbreak (including the effect on advertising activity, consumer discretionary spending and our employees), and the actions taken to mitigate the impact of the virus, and the pace of economic and financial market recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, among others.
The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate adverse effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2022.
We have experienced recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows and have financed our recent working capital requirements primarily through the issuance of equity securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we have reported net losses of $82,187 and $75,458, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, we had a working capital deficit of $541,553, our accumulated deficit was $2,069,465. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited Condensed Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The accompanying Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. There are no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our company.
Our ability to continue to grow our business is dependent upon our ability to raise additional sufficient capital to fund our operating expenses, including advertising, until such time, if ever, that we are able to report profitable operations, as well as for our short-term and long-term growth plans. We do not generate operating income and we are presently are relying on cash we receive from the holdback receivable to pay our operating expenses. Our management estimates that we require approximately $5,500,000 in additional working capital during the next 12 months in order to meet our current business objectives, including the development of new indicators for our Lifestyle Blueprint platform, the addition of print versions of our DWD Protocol, expanding our supplement product line and additional subscription content offerings for our customers. This additional working capital is also necessary to fund increases in our advertising and marketing costs, costs associated with the development of additional infrastructure to support our expected growth, as well as funds to pay our operating expenses and general working capital. While we were successful in raising funds privately during late 2017 and into the first quarter of 2018, and will seek to do so in future periods, we do not have any firm commitments to provide any additional capital to us. There are no assurances we will be successful in securing the additional capital necessary to grow our company and pay our operating expenses. Any delay in raising sufficient funds could adversely impact our ability to continue to increase our revenues in future periods. In addition, if we are unable to raise the necessary additional working capital, we may be forced to reduce certain operating expenses in an effort to conserve our working capital which will adversely impact our revenues and results of operations in future periods and there are no assurances we could continue as a going concern.

The decrease in cash used in our operating activities in the 2022 first quarter as compared to the 2021 first quarter is due to the increase in net loss offset by decrease in prepaid expenses and increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
There was no net cash provided by or used in investing activities during 2022 and 2021 first quarters.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the 2022 first quarter reflects proceeds from notes payable.
Commitments and Contingencies
Information regarding our Commitments and Contingencies is contained in Note 6 to the unaudited Condensed Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the “JOBS Act”, and we are permitted to take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including not being required to have our internal controls over financial reporting audited by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments. We may take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as
those standards apply to private companies.
We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of:
| • | the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion; | |
| • | the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act”, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or | |
| • | the date we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period. |
At this time, we expect to remain an emerging growth company until possibly as late as 2023. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with that term in the JOBS Act.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a control deficiency.
These material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting result from no segregation of duties, no multiple level of review in the financial close process and lack of experienced accounting staff with expertise in the application of GAAP. These weaknesses are primarily due to our lack of employees and qualified staff.
In order to remediate these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will need to:
| • | create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources; and | |
| • | hire experienced independent third parties or consultants to provide additional expert advice as needed. |
Until such time as we remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, there is a likelihood that our financial statements in future periods may contain errors which will require a restatement. For fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020, we made efforts to mitigate these weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting results by hiring a consultant to review our financials on a quarterly and annual basis. We believe this step will help to mitigate issues that may arise from a limited staff.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Management conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting and determined that there were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In 2016 we engaged a third party to provide certain promotional services to us in connection with our business, including the use of his name and appearance, under the terms of a five-year agreement. As compensation, we agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to promote and sell a book authored by him and to pay him, as a royalty, a percentage of the sales of the book, after deductions for all direct costs of fulfilling such sales. During 2017 the third party initiated a series of informal claims and filed unauthorized uniform commercial code (UCC) financing statements in several states against us and certain of our officers, directors, and founders, alleging non-payment of the royalty amounts. We dispute all claims by the third party and believe that all royalty amounts due him have been paid in full. We are no longer selling the book authored by him. We have succeeded in removing certain of the UCC liens and we are pursuing actions to remove the remaining unauthorized UCC lien.
