NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Decentral
Life is referred to in the following financial notes as the “Company.”
Organization
The
Company was launched in January of 2013 and took it public through a reverse merger in June of 2016 in an effort to expand its business
model as a technology business incubator (TBI). The Company’s goal is to become the largest and most valuable market capitalized
TBI in the world. The Company’s unique business model makes it easier for individual private and public investors to participate
in the growth prospects of each company that participate in the Company’s TBI program.
The
Company’s Technology Business Incubator program provides tech company founders with the option to license the Company’s technology
from the Company and receive assistance in growing their business through the Company’s executive knowledge and leadership. The
Company makes it easier for start-up founders to focus on raising capital, proving their business model, and fostering company
growth and expansion. The Company’s own IP technology is an artificial intelligence (AI) powered social network and ecommerce platform
that leverages blockchain technology to increase development speed, user privacy and security, and incorporates the use of cryptocurrency
in the form of NFT’s and token securities used throughout the niche social platforms that we license to the companies in our TBI
program.
In
August of 2021, the Company formed a new division that focuses entirely on aiding founders with the creation and development of blockchain
technology that can help their companies incorporate the best Web3 business models. The division’s first successful project was
the development and launching of the WDLF security token in Q3 of 2021. Since then, the Company has launched and licensed Decentralized
Apps that aid companies to launch and manage their own security token offering (“STO”).
Throughout 2022 and 2023, the Company launched smart contracts on the Ethereum
blockchain. The Company’s goal is to build a decentralized global technology platform, through the mining and security token offering
of the Company’s WDLF token. The Company’s WDLF Ethereum tokens are mined by the users of the Company’s technology platform
that is licensed by companies in the Company’s TBI program. The users spend their time creating content, connecting with other users
online, and influencing their own friends and followers on mainstream social platforms to join that TBI company’s technology platform,
or niche social networking marketplace.
In
the first quarter of 2023, the Company’s management expanded on the TBI program business model to include the possibility of acquiring
technology companies that either participated in its technology incubation program, or companies that would enhance its ability to grow
the TBI program. In either case, management’s goal is to increase the value of the Company by growing its balance sheet through
meaningful asset acquisitions.
Corporate
Changes
On
August 30, 1985, the Company was incorporated as a private corporation, CJ Industries, Inc., in California. On February 24, 2004, the
Company merged with Calvert Corporation, a Nevada Corporation, changing its name to Sew Cal Logo, Inc., and moved its domicile from California
to Nevada, at which time the Company’s common stock became traded under the ticker symbol “SEWC”.
In

NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (continued)
Corporate
Changes (continued)
The
Company’s Business
The
Company is a Technology Business Incubator (TBI), which operates through individual SaaS (software as a service) licensing agreements
with its TBI participating companies and provides each TBI company with the use of its artificial intelligence (“AI”) social
networking and ecommerce technology platform to run their own commerce focused social networking company. Using its technology platform
and leveraging the executive leadership that the Company provides each TBI company, their executives find it easier to focus on growing
their business faster, with the ultimate goal of reaching a liquidity event such as an initial public offering or an acquisition.
As
of the first quarter 2023, the following industry specific companies participate and operate in the Company’s TBI program: Hunting,
Fishing, Camping, RV Travel, Motor Racing, Racket Sports, Boating, E-biking, Cycling, Soccer, Golfing, Cannabis, Hemp, Space Exploration,
Transportation, Blockchain, AI, and Residential Real Estate sectors.
The
TBI participating companies pay the Company a percentage of their revenue, and a percentage of the securities in their company, as
detailed below. This business model potentially makes the Company’s long-term book-value potentially greater and its revenue
growth more reliable, by diversifying its technology and human resources across multiple global business sectors.
As
of March 2023, management has expanded on the TBI program business model to include the possibility of acquiring technology companies
that either participated in its technology incubation program, or companies that would enhance its ability to grow the TBI program. In
either case, management’s goal is to increase the Company’s value by growing its balance sheet through meaningful acquisitions.
Revenue
Generation
The
Company generates revenues from its TBI participating companies that license social networking and/or ecommerce technology from the Company
and charge them 5% of the revenue that is made from our tech platform. The Company also receives up to 15% or the securities in the TBI
participating companies, when they reach a liquidity event such as an IPO or acquisition by another company. The percentage of securities
that the Company receives from TBI companies is then valued at the time of their liquidity event, and finally added to the Company’s
balance sheet in order to growth its long-term book-value.
The
Company also develops and licenses decentralized applications (dApps) built on the Ethereum blockchain, that are sold to its clients
that do not necessarily participate in the Company’s TBI program. The Company’s dApps are licensed to clients’ annually,
and differ in pricing due to the customization, installation time, training, and blockchain related fees. Revenue generated from the
Company’s dApps potentially range from thousands to tens of thousands of USD each year, per client.
Global
Operations
The
Company currently operates and supports the ongoing technology development of its platform, used by consumers and companies across 120
countries worldwide. The Company’s directors, executives, and niche industry business advisors support the growth of each TBI company
in the Company’s program. Management’s goal is to increase the potential of each TBI company reaching a liquidity event,
in the shortest time possible.
Intellectual
Property
The
Company’s technology platform and associated applications, features and functionality are comprised of proprietary software, code
and know-how that are of key importance to its r business plan.
Better
Practices
The
Company spends a significant amount of time each year with its TBI company founders and their management teams, developing better business
practices in its effort to increase the probability of their success and eventual liquidity events.
Sources
and Availability of Products and Names of Principal Suppliers
The
Company currently rely on certain key suppliers and vendors in the support and maintenance of its business model. Management mitigates
the associated risks of these single-source vendor relationships by ensuring that the Company has access to additional qualified vendors
and suppliers to provide like or complementary services.
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”).
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of 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. Significant estimates
include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management’s
Representation of Interim Financial Statements
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been or omitted as
allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. These financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation
of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
at and as of December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 22, 2023 as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
The
Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company
continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in its accounts. The Company is not exposed
to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash
and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
On March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s cash equivalents totaled $169,108 and $199,310 respectively.
Accounts
Receivable
Revenues
that have been recognized but not yet received are recorded as accounts receivable. Losses on receivables will be recognized when it
is more likely than not that a receivable will not be collected. An allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts will be recognized
to reduce the amount of receivables to its net realizable value when considered necessary. Any allowance for uncollectible amounts is
evaluated quarterly.
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial
instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure
the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency
and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which
prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives
the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level
1: |
Quoted
market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
|
|
Level
2: |
Pricing
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the
reporting date. |
|
|
Level
3: |
Pricing
inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The
carrying amount of our financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value
because of the short maturity of those instruments. Our notes payable approximates the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s
best estimate of interest rates that would be available to us for similar financial arrangements.
The
Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and
December 31, 2022.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue
recognition
The
Company follows paragraph 605-15-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition when the right of return exists.
The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable
and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) The seller’s price to the buyer is substantially fixed or determinable
at the date of sale, (ii) The buyer has paid the seller, or the buyer is obligated to pay the seller and the obligation is not contingent
on resale of the product. If the buyer does not pay at time of sale and the buyer’s obligation to pay is contractually or implicitly
excused until the buyer resells the product, then this condition is not met., (iii) The buyer’s obligation to the seller would
not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product, (iv) The buyer acquiring the product for resale
has economic substance apart from that provided by the seller. This condition relates primarily to buyers that exist on paper, that is,
buyers that have little or no physical facilities or employees. It prevents entities from recognizing sales revenue on transactions with
parties that the sellers have established primarily for the purpose of recognizing such sales revenue, (v) The seller does not have significant
obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer, and (vi) The amount of future returns
can be reasonably estimated.
Income
taxes
The
Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of 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 Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
On
December 22, 2018, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law by the President of the United States. TCJA is a tax reform act
that among other things, reduced corporate tax rates to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires deferred
tax assets and liabilities to be adjusted for the effect of a change in tax laws or rates in the year of enactment, which is the year
in which the change was signed into law. Accordingly, we adjusted its deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 2020, using the
new corporate tax rate of 21 percent.
The
Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”) with regards to uncertainty
income taxes. Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return
should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain
tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based
on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured
based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section
740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods
and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according
to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
Stock-based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for equity-based transactions with nonemployees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, Equity-Based Payments
to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). ASC 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall
be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably
measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to nonemployees is measured at the market price on the date of grant.
The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general,
the Company recognizes the fair value of the equity instruments issued as deferred stock compensation and amortize the cost over the
term of the contract.
The
Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock
Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized
in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense
and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basic
and Diluted Earnings Per 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 common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements
The
Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not
believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position
or results of operations.
NOTE
3 – GOING CONCERN
The
Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that it will be able to realize its assets
and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As of March 31,2023, the Company
had $169,108 of cash , an accumulated deficit of $32,846,734, and a loss from operations of $53,208. These factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon its generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet obligations and repay
liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company’s management intends to finance operating costs
over the next year with the public issuance of common stock and related party loans. While the Company believes that it will be successful
in obtaining the necessary financing and generating revenue to fund its operations, meet regulatory requirements and achieve commercial
goals, there are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved or that it will succeed in its future operations. The Company’s
financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE

Risk
Factors
Risks
Related to Our Business
Our
independent registered public accounting firm has issued a going concern opinion; there is substantial uncertainty that we will continue
operations in which case you could lose your investment.
In
our Form 10-K report dated December 31, 2022, our independent registered public accounting firm, BF Borgers CPA PC, stated that our financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities
and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. We had an accumulated deficit of $32,846,734 at March 31,
2023, had a net loss of $53,208 from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating profitable operations
in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business
operations when they come due. Our management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand
and public issuance of common stock. Although we may be successful in obtaining financing and/or generating revenue to fund our operations,
meet regulatory requirements and achieve commercial goals, there are no assurances that such funding will be achieved at a sufficient
level or that we will succeed in our future operations.
If
our Social Networking Platform technology becomes obsolete, our ability to license our Platform and generate revenue from it will be
negatively impacted.
If
our Platform technology becomes obsolete, our results of operations will be adversely affected. The market in which we compete is characterized
by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, introductions of new products, and changes in customer demands that can render
existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Our Platform will require continuous upgrading, or our technology will become obsolete,
and our business operations will be curtailed or terminate.
Litigation
may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations
From
time to time in the normal course of its business operations, we may become subject to litigation that may result in liability material
to our financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect our s operating results if changes to our business operations are required.
The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a diversion of resources. There also may be adverse publicity associated
with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or
whether we are ultimately found liable. Insurance may be unavailable at all or in sufficient amounts to cover any liabilities with respect
to these or other matters. A judgment or other liability in excess of the insurance coverage for any claims could have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We
expect to incur substantial expenses to meet our reporting obligations as a public company.
We
estimate that it will cost approximately $300,000 annually to maintain the proper management and financial controls for our filings required
as a public reporting company, funds that would otherwise be spent for our business operations. Our public reporting costs may increase
over time, which will increase our expenses and may decrease our potential profitability.
We
have generated a majority of our revenue in 2022 and 2021 from licensing, event, and digital marketing revenues, respectively; the loss
of the majority of our revenues in future periods will negatively affect our results of operations.
Because
our Chief Executive Officer holds 75,000,000 votes, he can exert significant control over our business and affairs and have actual or
potential interests that may depart from those of investors.
Our
Chief Executive Officer beneficially owns approximately 98% of our outstanding voting stock, primarily through his ownership of Class
B Common Stock Shares. which provides him with significant influence and control over all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval,
irrespective of how our other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:
|
● |
to
elect or defeat the election of our directors; |
|
|
|
|
● |
to
amend or prevent amendment of our certificate of incorporation or by-laws; |
|
|
|
|
● |
to
effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
to
control the outcome of any other matter submitted to our stockholders for a vote. |
This
concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation,
or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for our common stock, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent
our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
We
face intense competition since many of our competitors have greater resources than we do.
We
face significant competition with respect to our technology platform, including but not limited to Facebook and LinkedIn, which offer
a variety of online digital and social networking technology offerings. As such, we expect tech competition to intensify further in the
future, further subjecting us to competitive forces. Many of our competitors, including the competitors stated above, have greater capital
resources, facilities and diversity of services and product lines, which will enable them to compete more effectively in this market.
Competition may increase because of consolidation within the industry. We may be unable to differentiate our products and services from
those of our competitors, or successfully develop and introduce new products and services that are less costly than, or superior to,
those of our competitors, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We
compete with other platforms for market share and for the time and attention of consumers. The proliferation of choices available to
consumers for information and business connections has resulted in audience fragmentation and has negatively affected overall consumer
demand. We also compete with digital publishers and other forms of media, including social media platforms, search platforms, portals,
and digital marketing services. The competition we face has intensified because of the growing popularity of mobile devices, such as
smartphones and social-media platforms, and the shift in consumer preference from print media to digital media for the delivery and consumption
of content, including video content, websites or use our digital applications directly. Given the ever-growing and rapidly changing number
of digital media options available on the Internet, we may be unable to increase our online traffic sufficiently and retain or grow a
base of frequent visitors to our websites and applications on mobile devices. In addition, the ever-growing and rapidly changing number
of digital media options available on the Internet may lead to technologies and alternatives that we are unable to offer.
The
proliferation of new platforms available to advertisers may affect both the amount of advertising that we are able to sell as well as
the rates advertisers are willing to pay. Our ability to compete successfully for advertising also depends on our ability to drive scale,
engage digital audiences, and prove the value of our advertising and the effectiveness of our digital platforms, including the value
of advertising adjacent to high quality content, and on our ability to use our brands to continue to offer advertisers unique, and multi-platform
advertising programs. If we are unable to demonstrate to advertisers the continuing value of our digital platforms or offer advertisers
unique advertising programs tied to our brands, business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We
will need substantial additional funding to continue our operations, which could result in dilution to our stockholders; we may be unable
to raise capital when needed, if at all, which could cause us to have insufficient funds to pursue our operations, or to delay, reduce
or eliminate our development of new programs or commercialization efforts.
We
expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company and to require substantial additional funding to continue
to pursue our business and continue with our expansion plans. We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications,
delays and other unknown factors that may increase our capital needs and/or cause us to spend our cash resources faster than we expect.
Accordingly, we expect that we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in order to continue our operations. To date, we have
financed our operations entirely through equity investments by founders and other investors and the incurrence of debt, and we expect
to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Additional funding from those or other sources may not be available when or in the amounts
needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise capital through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, it will
result in dilution to our existing stockholders, which could be significant depending on the price at which we may be able to sell our
securities. If we raise additional capital through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, we will likely become subject to further
covenants restricting our business activities, and holders of debt instruments may have rights and privileges senior to those of our
equity investors. In addition, servicing the interest and principal repayment obligations under debt facilities could divert funds that
would otherwise be available to support development of new programs and marketing to current and potential new clients. If we are unable
to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate development of new programs or
future marketing efforts. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition and prospects.
We
must successfully maintain and/or upgrade our information technology systems.
We
rely on various information technology systems to manage our operations, which subjects us to inherent costs and risks associated with
maintaining, upgrading, replacing and changing these systems, including impairment of our information technology, potential disruption
of our internal control systems, substantial capital expenditures, demands on management time and other risks of delays or difficulties
in upgrading, transitioning to new systems or of integrating new systems into our current systems.
We
do not have certain corporate governance matters in place such as an independent board of directors or nominating, audit, or compensation
committees, there may be conflicts of interests and corporate governance related risks.
Our
Board consists mostly of current executive officers and consultants, which means that we do not have any outside or independent directors.
The lack of independent directors:
|
● |
May
prevent the Board from being independent from management in its judgments and decisions and its ability to pursue the Board responsibilities
without undue influence. |
|
|
|
|
● |
May
present us from providing a check on management, which can limit management taking unnecessary risks. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Create
potential for conflicts between management and the diligent independent decision-making process of the Board. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Present
the risk that our executive officers on the Board may have influence over their personal compensation and benefits levels that may
not be commensurate with our financial performance. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Deprive
us of the benefits of various viewpoints and experience when confronting challenges that we face. |
Because
officers serve on our Board of Directors, it will be difficult for the Board to fulfill its traditional role as overseeing management.
Additionally,
we do not have a nominating, audit or compensation committee or any such committee comprised of independent directors. The Board performs
these functions and no members of the Board are independent directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that board members who
are also part of management will participate in discussions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management
decisions.
We
may have difficulty obtaining officer and director coverage or obtaining such coverage on favorable terms or financially be unable to
obtain any such coverage, which may make it difficult for our attracting and retaining qualified members of our board of directors, particularly
to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.
We
also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and
officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage
or financially be unable to obtain such coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified
members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.
Security
breaches and other disruptions could compromise the information that we maintain and expose us to liability, which would cause our business
and reputation to suffer.
In
the ordinary course of our business, we may collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business
information and that of our customers and business partners, and personally identifiable information of our customers, in our data centers
and on its networks. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to our business strategy, information
technology and infrastructure and we may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other
disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our network and the services and information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed,
lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under
laws that protect the privacy of personal information, regulatory penalties, and disruption to our operations and the services it provides
to customers. This often results in a loss of confidence in our products and services, which could adversely affect our ability to earn
revenues and competitive position and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We
are subject to data privacy and security risks
Our
business activities are subject to laws and regulations governing the collection, use, sharing, protection and retention of personal
data, which continue to evolve and have implications for how such data is managed. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”)
continues to expand its application of general consumer protection laws to commercial data practices, including to the use of personal
and profiling data from online users to deliver targeted Internet advertisements. Most states have also enacted legislation regulating
data privacy and security, including laws requiring businesses to provide notice to state agencies and to individuals whose personally
identifiable information has been disclosed as a result of a data breach.
Similar
laws and regulations have been implemented in many of the other jurisdictions in which we operate, including the European Union. Recently,
the European Union adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which is intended to provide a uniform set of
rules for personal data processing throughout the European Union and to replace the existing Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC).
Fully enforceable as of May 25, 2018, the GDPR expands the regulation of the collection, processing, use and security of personal data,
contains stringent conditions for consent from data subjects, strengthens the rights of individuals, including the right to have personal
data deleted upon request, continues to restrict the trans-border flow of such data, requires mandatory data breach reporting and notification,
increases penalties for non-compliance and increases the enforcement powers of the data protection authorities. In response to such developments,
industry participants in the U.S., and Europe have taken steps to increase compliance with relevant industry-level standards and practices,
including the implementation of self-regulatory regimes for online behavioral advertising that impose obligations on participating companies,
such as us, to give consumers a better understanding of advertisements that are customized based on their online behavior. We continue
to monitor pending legislation and regulatory initiatives to ascertain relevance, analyze impact and develop strategic direction surrounding
regulatory trends and developments, including any changes required in our data privacy and security compliance programs.
We
may be unable to identify, purchase or integrate desirable acquisition targets, future acquisitions may be unsuccessful, and we may not
realize the anticipated cost savings, revenue enhancements or other synergies from such acquisitions.
We
plan to investigate and acquire strategic businesses with the potential to be accretive to earnings, increase our market penetration,
brand strength and its market position or enhancement of our existing product and service offerings. There can be no assurance that we
will identify or successfully complete transactions with suitable acquisition candidates in the future. Additionally, if we were to undertake
a substantial acquisition, the acquisition may need to be financed in part through additional financing through public offerings or private
placements of debt or equity securities or through other arrangements. There is no assurance that the necessary acquisition financing
will be available to us on acceptable terms if and when required. Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities
or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our operating results. We may also unknowingly inherit liabilities from acquired
businesses or assets that arise after the acquisition and that are not adequately covered by indemnities. In addition, if an acquired
business fails to meet our expectations, its operating results, business and financial position may suffer.
If
we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent
fraud; as a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business
and the trading price of our stock.
Effective
internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable
financial reports or prevent fraud, our brand and operating results will likely be harmed. We may in the future discover areas of our
internal controls that need improvement. We cannot be certain that any measures we implement will ensure that we achieve and maintain
adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls,
or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.
Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and materially harm our
business, which would have a negative effect on our operations.
We
may be unable to effectively manage our growth or improve our operational, financial, and management information systems, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
In
the near term and contingent upon raising adequate funds or generate the needed revenue, we intend to expand our operations significantly
to foster growth. Growth may place a significant strain on our business and administrative operations, finances, management and other
resources, as follows:
|
● |
The
need for continued development of financial and information management systems; |
|
● |
The
need to manage strategic relationships and agreements with manufacturers, customers and partners; and |
|
● |
Difficulties
in hiring and retaining skilled management, technical, and other personnel necessary to support and manage the business. |
Should
we fail to successfully manage growth could, our results of operations will be negatively affected.
If
we fail to protect or develop our intellectual property, business, operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Any
infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property could damage its value and limit its ability to compete. We may have to
engage in litigation to protect the rights to our intellectual property, which could result in significant litigation costs and require
a significant amount of management time and attention. In addition, our ability to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights
may be limited in certain countries outside the United States, which could make it easier for competitors to capture market position
in such countries by utilizing technologies that are similar to those that we develop.
We
may also find it necessary to bring infringement or other actions against third parties to seek to protect its intellectual property
rights. Litigation of this nature, even if successful, is often expensive and time-consuming to prosecute and there can be no assurance
that we will have the financial or other resources to enforce its rights or prevent other parties from developing similar technology
or designing around our intellectual property.
Our
trade secrets may be difficult to protect.
Our
success depends upon the skills, knowledge, and experience of our technical personnel, consultants and advisors. Because we operate in
several highly competitive industries, we rely in part on trade secrets to protect our proprietary technology and processes. However,
trade secrets are difficult to protect. We enter into confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with our corporate partners, employees,
consultants, outside scientific collaborators, developers, and other advisors. These agreements generally require that the receiving
party keep confidential and not disclose to third party’s confidential information developed by the receiving party or made known
to the receiving party by us during the course of the receiving party’s relationship with us. These agreements also generally provide
that inventions conceived by the receiving party in the course of rendering services to us will be our exclusive property.
These
confidentiality, inventions and assignment agreements may be breached and may not effectively assign intellectual property rights to
us. Our trade secrets also could be independently discovered by competitors, in which case will be unable to prevent the use of such
trade secrets by our competitors. The enforcement of a claim alleging that a party illegally obtained and was using our trade secrets
could be difficult, expensive and time consuming and the outcome would be unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States
may be less willing to protect trade secrets. The failure to obtain or maintain meaningful trade secret protection could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The
consideration being paid to our management is not based on arms-length negotiation.
The
compensation and other consideration we have paid or will be paid to our management has not been determined based on arm’s length
negotiations. While management believes that the consideration is fair for the work being performed, we cannot assure that our consideration
to management reflects the true market value of their services.
There
are risks associated with the proposed expansion of our business.
Any
expansion plans that we undertake to increase or expand our operations entail risks, which may negatively impact our potential profitability.
Consequently, investors must assume the risk that (i) such expansion may ultimately involve expenditures of funds beyond the resources
available to us at that time, and (ii) management of such expanded operations may divert management’s attention and resources away
from its existing operations, any of which factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial
condition. We cannot assure investors that our products, services, or controls will be adequate to support the anticipated growth of
our operations.
Our
business and operations and that of the businesses that we may acquire interests in may experience rapid growth; if we fail to manage
our growth, our business and operating results could be negatively impacted.
We
or the companies from which we may acquire interests from may experience rapid growth in our operations, which may place significant
demands on our and those acquired companies’ management, operational and financial infrastructure. If the companies from which
we intend to acquire interests do not manage growth, the quality of their products and/or services could materially suffer, which could
negatively affect our brand and operating results and that of the companies we intend to acquire interests of. To manage this growth,
we and those acquired companies will need to continue to improve operational, financial and management controls and reporting systems
and procedures. These systems enhancements and improvements will require significant capital expenditures and allocation of valuable
management resources. If the improvements are not implemented successfully, our and those companies’ ability to manage growth will
be impaired causing significant additional expenditures.
Acquiring
interests in other companies could result in operating difficulties, dilution and other harmful consequences.
We
do not have direct experience in acquiring interests of companies. which acquisitions if completed will be material to our financial
condition and results of operations and may create material risks, including:
|
● |
need
to implement or remediate controls, procedures and policies |
|
● |
diversion
of management’s time and focus from operating our business to acquisition integration challenges |
|
● |
retaining
employees |
|
● |
need
to integrate each company’s accounting, management information, human resource and other administrative systems for effective
management. |
Should
we be unsuccessful in the above integration aspects, the anticipated benefit of our acquiring interests in other companies may not materialize.
Future acquisitions or dispositions will likely result in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of
debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses, or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition. Future
acquisitions may require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which may be unavailable on favorable terms or at all.
COVID-19
RELATED RISKS
The
outbreak of the coronavirus may negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In
December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout
China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak
of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health
and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community
in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”.
The significant outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial
markets worldwide, and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The
outbreak of the COVID-19 may adversely affect our customers or subscribers and have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Further,
the risks described above could also adversely affect our potential licensee’s financial condition, resulting in reduced spending
by our licensee to pay us our license fees. Risks related to an epidemic, pandemic, or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could negatively
impact the results of operations of one or more of our l licensees or potential licensee operations. The ultimate extent of the impact
of any epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis on our licensees and our business, financial condition and results of operations will
depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning
the severity of such epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others.
These and other potential impacts of an epidemic, pandemic, or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could therefore materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Certain
historical data regarding our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity does not reflect the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic and related containment measures and therefore does not purport to be representative of our future performance
The
information included in our Annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and our other reports filed with the
SEC, including this Form 10-Q, includes information regarding our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity
as of dates and for periods before and during the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures (including quarantines
and governmental orders requiring the closure of certain businesses, limiting travel, requiring that individuals stay at home or shelter
in place and closing borders). Therefore, certain historical information therefore does not reflect the adverse impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic and the related containment measures. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on such historical information
regarding our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, as that data does not reflect the adverse impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore does not purport to be representative of the future results of operations, financial condition, liquidity
or other financial or operating results of us, or our business.
THE
OUTBREAK OF COVID-19 HAS RESULTED IN A WIDESPREAD HEALTH CRISIS THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ECONOMIES AND FINANCIAL MARKETS WORLDWIDE
AND COULD EXPONENTIALLY INCREASE THE RISK FACTORS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND BELOW.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
An
investment in our securities is highly speculative.-
Our
tokens, common and preferred shares are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons
who can afford to lose the entire amount invested. Before purchasing any of our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors
contained herein relating to our business and prospects. If any of the risks presented herein actually occur, our business, financial
condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our tokens and common stock
could decline at any time, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
There
is no active public trading market for our tokens and an active market may never develop.
Our
WDLF tokens and preferred stock is not quoted on any trading medium. Consequently, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment
or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result, holders of our securities may not find purchasers for
our securities should they attempt to sell their securities. Consequently, only investors having no need for liquidity in their investment
should purchase our securities and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period.
You
will experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
We
may in the future offer additional securities. . Although no assurances can be given that we will consummate new financing, in the event
we do, or in the event we sell shares of preferred or common stock or other securities convertible into shares of our common stock in
the future, additional and substantial dilution will likely occur. In addition, investors purchasing shares or other securities in the
future could have rights superior to investors in prior offerings. Subsequent offerings at a lower price, often referred to as a “down
round,” could result in additional dilution.
Future
issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of
preferred stock, which would rank senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely
affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock.
In
the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of
our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior
to any distributions being made to holders of our common stock. Moreover, if we issue preferred stock, the holders of such preferred
stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of common stock in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating
distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred securities in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will
depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature
of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our common stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings
we make may adversely affect the level of return they may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock.
External
economic factors may have a material adverse impact on our business prospects.
Success
can also be affected significantly by changes in local, regional and national economic conditions. Factors such as inflation, labor,
energy, real estate costs, the availability and cost of suitable employees, fluctuating interest rates, state and local laws and regulations
and licensing requirements and increased competition can also adversely affect us.
The
market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly in the future.
We
expect that the market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate in response to one or more of the following factors, many of which are
beyond our control:
|
● |
competitive
pricing pressures; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our
ability to market our services on a cost-effective and timely basis; |
|
|
|
|
● |
changing
conditions in the market; |
|
|
|
|
● |
changes
in market valuations of similar companies; |
|
● |
stock
market price and volume fluctuations generally; |
|
|
|
|
● |
regulatory
developments; |
|
|
|
|
● |
fluctuations
in our quarterly or annual operating results; |
|
|
|
|
● |
additions
or departures of key personnel; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
future
sales of our Common Stock or other securities. |
The
price at which you purchase shares of our Common Stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. Shareholders
may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our securities. These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price
of our securities and may prevent a shareholder from obtaining a market price equal to the purchase price such shareholder paid when
the shareholder attempts to sell our securities in the open market. In these situations, the shareholder may be required either to sell
our securities at a market price, which is lower than the purchase price the shareholder paid, or to hold our securities for a longer
period than planned. An inactive or low trading market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock.
You may be unable to sell your shares of Common Stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you
and which may include the complete loss of your investment. Any of the risks described above could adversely affect our sales and profitability
and the price of our Common Stock.
Any
market that develops in shares of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions pertaining to low
priced stocks that will create a lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible.
The
trading of our securities will be in the over-the-counter market, which is commonly referred to as the OTC Markets, as maintained by
FINRA. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.
Rule
3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security
that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited
number of exceptions that are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be penny stocks for the foreseeable future. This
classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.
For
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s
account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting
forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in
penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge
and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to
the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:
|
● |
the
basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and |
|
|
|
|
● |
that
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Disclosure
also must be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable
to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available
to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Additionally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information
for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Because
of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter
difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders
to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These
additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities when our securities become publicly traded.
In addition, the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares,
probably, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, likely, find it difficult to
sell their securities.
If
we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting
obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and

internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. We maintain a system of
internal control over financial reporting, which is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our 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.
Cautionary
Note
We
have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent,
any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should
carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
