General Overview

 

XY Labs is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company was originally organized as a Delaware limited liability company in June 2012 under the name Ength Degree LLC. On May 27, 2016, the Company converted to a Delaware corporation and changed its name to XY – the Findables Company. On November 9, 2018, the Company changed its name to XY – The Persistent Company. On May 4, 2021, the Company changed its name to XY Labs.

 

The Company was originally formed for building geolocation hardware and software along with online platforms to manage and integrate data from its technology. Today, the Company develops, designs, and sells consumer products and applications, enterprise software and data integration services solutions and blockchain and cryptographic technologies and services.

 

XYO Foundation is a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The primary objectives of XYO Foundation include: (i) providing software and technical documentation for public benefit, (ii) offering services and support to various like-minded software project communities consisting of individuals contributing to XYO projects, and (iii) governing the use and licensing of XYO open-source assets, such as trademarks, source code, and technical papers.

 

XYO Network

 

The XYO Network is designed to provide a secure, decentralized platform for recording and verifying data, including geospatial data. Its primary purpose is to ensure data from various sources—such as smart devices, sensors, and other hardware—is validated in a trustless manner through a network of decentralized location oracles.

 

Initially, the XYO Network was implemented on disparate cryptographic systems. This early implementation allowed the Company to establish a reliable foundation for decentralized geospatial and other data validation. Originally referred to as "XYO 2.0," these initial systems demonstrated the feasibility of the decentralized oracle concept and facilitated early-stage development and network testing.

 

In April 2025, the Company launched the beta of its proprietary Layer One blockchain, a purpose-built infrastructure designed to enhance the XYO Network's capabilities in secure, tamper-resistant data verification across various applications. This Layer One blockchain introduces the innovative "Proof of Perfect" consensus mechanism, enabling decentralized nodes to efficiently collect and validate data without processing the entire chain history, thereby improving scalability and reducing energy consumption. This can happen on demand or otherwise.

 

The development of Layer One marks a significant milestone in the Company's strategy to monetize its decentralized data verification infrastructure. By providing a robust platform for third-party developers and enterprise partners, the Company aims to facilitate the creation of decentralized applications and integrations that require transparent, verifiable data. Potential business use cases include fraud prevention, digital identity verification, supply chain transparency, insurance claims validation, AI training, data processing and other processes that demand high data integrity.

 

Revenue generation is targeted through token-based access to the network, usage-based fees via APIs and smart contracts, and enterprise-level integrations. The Company is also pursuing strategic B2B partnerships to embed its data verification capabilities into external platforms and enterprise workflows, with the aim of monetization through licensing agreements, infrastructure-as-a-service models, and custom smart contract deployments tied to transaction volume and verification logic.

In response to operational requirements and the need for enhanced performance, the Company has evolved its network into a proprietary native XYO Layer One blockchain solution. This new platform specifically:

 

·Securely records geospatial and other data by employing advanced cryptographic protocols to maintain data integrity and protect against tampering.

 

·Enhances scalability and performance by offering higher transaction throughput and reduced dependency on third-party networks.

 

·Maintains decentralized validation by ensuring that location proofs continue to be verified through an interconnected network of devices without relying on a central authority.

 

This evolution from XYO 2.0 into the current Layer One blockchain solution represents a strategic advancement, focusing on broader scalability, security, and efficiency while maintaining the core principles of decentralization and trustless oracle-based validation.

 

COIN

 

The COIN mobile application is designed to encourage users to actively participate in the collection and verification of real-world data by offering digital rewards, thus ensuring a continuous stream of accurate and current data.

 

·Data Collection and Verification: Users utilize mobile devices to verify real-world data, particularly through claiming digital location tiles within COIN. Additional data-centric tasks are included to promote lifestyle activities, such as physical and mental exercise, and location discovery (e.g., POI discovery and validation).

 

·Incentive Mechanism: Users earn digital rewards (in-app coins) for participating in various verification tasks. Collected coins can be redeemed for physical products and crypto assets. Premium subscriptions are available, offering users increased coin collection rates per tile, reduced cooldown periods, and additional features.

 

·Integration with eXtension Devices: COIN supports integration with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Near-Field Communication (NFC) versions of the XYO Sentinel, referred to as SentinelX devices. The XYO BridgeX is also supported as an eXtension device for home-based verification tasks.

 

·Social Interaction and Gamification: COIN emphasizes social interactions and gamification to enhance user satisfaction, utility, and ongoing engagement.

 

·Multiple Use Cases: COIN accommodates both routine tracking activities and specialized verification tasks, providing operational and analytical flexibility.

 

·XYO Network Integration: The XYO Network functions as the data aggregation and validation layer underpinning COIN, ensuring fraud detection, data processing, and overall data validation to maintain data integrity across the platform.

 

XY Find It

 

Historically, the Company offered XY4+ Bluetooth beacons which, when paired with a downloadable application operated on iOS and Android, allowed users to track the location of their personal items such as keys, backpacks, and pets. Features also included alerts to notify users when such items had been inadvertently left behind. This line of business as referred to as XY Find It. The Company discontinued XY Find It at the beginning of 2024.

Competition

 

XY Labs competes within dynamic sectors, primarily consisting of blockchain protocols for geospatial data verification and consumer-oriented location-based services. Its competitive positioning and associated risks are described below:

 

A.Blockchain Protocols for Geospatial and Real-World Data Competitive Landscape

 

XY Labs was among the pioneers in applying blockchain technology to geospatial and real-world data verification. Our competitors include established Geographic Information System (GIS) providers, which have traditionally relied on centralized architectures, as well as emerging blockchain-based oracle networks that offer decentralized data validation solutions.

 

Risks and Technological Differentiation: The risk from traditional GIS providers stems from their established market presence and client relationships, potentially hindering XY Labs' market penetration. Emerging blockchain competitors pose a risk through rapid innovation and market entry, potentially reducing our first-mover advantage. XY Labs addresses these risks by transitioning to the proprietary XYO Layer One blockchain, aiming to differentiate through:

 

·Improved scalability and performance, overcoming the limitations of third-party blockchain dependencies.

 

·Enhanced security and customized data validation capabilities, critical for maintaining trust in verified data.

 

·Specialized architecture optimized for handling extensive and complex location verification tasks.

 

B.Consumer-Facing Location-Based Services Competitive Landscape

 

The market for consumer-focused location services is crowded, with many companies providing basic tracking, navigation, and data collection features. These competitors often utilize centralized systems and may not prioritize robust data verification.

 

Risks and Differentiation through COIN: The primary risk in this sector arises from established consumer applications with significant user bases and brand recognition, potentially making market adoption challenging for newer entrants. XY Labs addresses these challenges with COIN, a mobile application uniquely combining precise data collection with user incentives. This strategy promotes active engagement and higher-quality data collection, thus strengthening user loyalty and data reliability.

 

C.Integrated Ecosystem Approach Competitive Landscape

 

Most market participants typically focus on a single service—either secure blockchain-based data verification or consumer-oriented tracking and navigation services. Few competitors currently offer a fully integrated ecosystem combining decentralized data verification and consumer engagement.

 

Risks and Strategic Mitigation: The risk here is that competitors may evolve to create similar comprehensive ecosystems, potentially eroding the Company’s unique value proposition. To mitigate this, XY Labs has developed an integrated Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN), connecting blockchain-based validation to physical assets (e.g., IoT devices). This integration positions us distinctively to support diverse applications, from enterprise data management to consumer asset tracking, thereby reinforcing our market position against emerging competitors.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Products, services and subscriptions for consumers are mainly sold through in-app purchases, which can be accessed through the Apple Store and Google Play Store, as well as through the Company’s website.

Risk Factors

 

Our business, financial condition, and operating results are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that may materially impact our operations, cash flows, and the market value of our Class A Common Stock. These risks stem from both internal and external factors, including current macroeconomic conditions, regulatory changes, market volatility, and cybersecurity challenges, among others.

 

Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Risks

 

·Economic Uncertainty: Our operations are influenced by global economic conditions such as inflation, interest rate fluctuations, and changes in consumer spending. Ongoing inflationary pressures and economic slowdowns could affect capital availability, operating costs, and overall market demand for our technology. Increases in consumer prices and reduced disposable incomes could also limit the adoption of our products and services.

 

·Geopolitical Instability: Our business may be adversely impacted by geopolitical events, including trade disputes, tariffs, regional conflicts, and tensions between major economies. These events can disrupt supply chains, increase operational costs, and reduce market confidence. Recent global events, including energy supply concerns and evolving political landscapes, underscore the uncertainty in international markets.

 

·International Business and Consumer Sentiment: Our revenue is partly derived from international markets. A decline in international business and consumer sentiment could negatively influence demand, thereby affecting XY Labs' overall business performance and financial results.

 

Market and Crypto-Specific Risks

 

·Crypto Market Volatility: As a technology company with significant blockchain operations, we are exposed to the inherent volatility of crypto markets. Sudden fluctuations in the value of digital assets, liquidity constraints, and shifts in investor sentiment can impact both our operations and the market price of our securities. Instability in crypto markets may also influence user adoption of our network and related services.

 

·Technology Transition Risks: Our shift from an Ethereum-based implementation to a proprietary Layer One solution introduces risks associated with technology development and integration. Any delays, technical issues, or unforeseen challenges in deploying our native blockchain platform could adversely affect our operations and competitive position.

 

Regulatory and Legal Risks

 

·Evolving Crypto Regulations: The regulatory environment for blockchain technology and digital assets is rapidly evolving. Changes in U.S. and international regulatory frameworks—ranging from new crypto-focused legislation to increased oversight by financial authorities—could impose additional compliance costs, restrict operations, or limit market access. The potential for stricter enforcement or interpretation of existing securities laws may also affect our ability to operate or raise capital.

 

·SEC and Legal Proceedings: XYO and other digital assets have been subject to litigation and investigations by the SEC and others in the past. While XY Labs was not part of any enforcement action, future legal scrutiny in the crypto space may result in future investigations or regulatory challenges.

 

Operational and Cybersecurity Risks

 

·Cybersecurity Threats: As a technology company, and particularly one operating in the blockchain space, we face risks from cybersecurity breaches, data loss, or unauthorized access. Successful cyberattacks could compromise our proprietary technology, disrupt operations, or result in the loss of sensitive data, all of which would have material adverse effects on our business.

 

·Supply Chain and Labor Shortages: Global supply chain disruptions, whether due to geopolitical events, pandemics, or other factors, can impact the availability and cost of components necessary for our hardware and technology infrastructure. Additionally, labor shortages or disruptions in key talent areas could impede our ability to execute business strategies and technological advancements.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section is based upon the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires that the Company make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, performance metrics and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results will differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Please refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details.

 

Results of Operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

 

Net Sales:

 

Net Sales were $8,849,250 and $10,864,085 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net Sales decreased by $2,014,835, or 18.5%, in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The change in Net Sales was mainly due to the Company’s decision to reduce online advertising for customer acquisition.

 

Cost of Sales:

 

Cost of Sales were $442,172 and $1,293,979 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cost of Sales decreased by $851,807, or 65.8%, in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. In 2023, Cost of Sales was impacted by a one-off inventory write-down expense of $671,256. The remaining change was due to lower physical product sales and related lower shipping fees, as well a decrease in product redeems which customers requested for in-app coins collected.

 

Research and Development:

 

Expenses for Research and development were $2,363,662 and $2,567,487 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Research and development expenses decreased by $203,826, or 7.9%, in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

Selling and Marketing:

 

Expenses for Selling and marketing were $1,836,596 and $5,218,196 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $3,381,600, or 64.8%, in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The Company significantly reduced its online advertising spending beginning in the second half of 2023 and kept the lower spending through the full year 2024, which was the main contributor to the year-over-year decrease in this cost category.

 

General and Administration:

 

Expenses for General and administration were $4,582,673 and $5,485,427 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. General and administration expenses decreased by $902,754, or 16.5%, in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was driven by lower payroll expenses, due to lower headcount and reduced average compensation, expenses for applications and payment processing, as well as contract labor and legal expenses.

 

Realized Gain:

 

Realized gain was $615,601 and $1,585,839 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decreased of $970,238 was mainly driven by a crypto asset sale that the Company made in 2023 but did not repeat in 2024.

 

Impairment Expense:

 

The Company recognized impairment expenses of $489,230 and $57,889 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These impairments related entirely to the Company's crypto assets and were recorded when the market value of these assets declined below their respective carrying values, in accordance with the Company's crypto asset accounting policies.

 

Other Expenses, net:

 

Other expenses, net were $35,140 and $33,021 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increased spending was mostly due to lower crypto-related transactions fees, which were the main driver of other expenses in both years.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement the Company’s financial information, which is prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA as further adjusted for provisional liability expenses as well as non-recurring and non-operational expenses.

 

8

 

 

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and for comparable period-to-period comparison purposes. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s recurring core business operating results. The Company’s management uses its judgement to identify items it deems not indicative of the Company’s recurring core business results. The calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculation of similarly titled non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

To reconcile from Net loss to EBITDA, the Company excludes all depreciation and impairment charges as the Company does not consider these charges as operationally driven expenses, which is why they are excluded in the financial performance assessment. In calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company further excludes all expenses related to provisional liabilities, non-recurring expenses and non-operational income and expenses. While the Company acknowledges that expenses related to provisional liabilities, non-recurring expenses and non-operational income and expenses were incurred, the Company does not consider such items to be reflective of the Company’s operational performance on a period over period basis. Provisional liability expenses were incurred to set up provisional liabilities under GAAP. Non-recurring and non-operational expenses and income relate to expenses and income that the Company did not expect to occur again or that the Company did not consider part of the business operations. The Company uses its judgement to identify relevant transactions. Management excludes these items when reconciling Adjusted EBITDA for improved comparison of operational performance year over year.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation from Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s working capital deficiency was as follows:

 

   As of 
   December 31,
   December 31,
 
   2024   2023 
Current assets  $2,114,545   $2,695,466 
Current liabilities  $(4,625,179)  $(5,123,685)
Net working capital / (deficiency)  $(2,510,635)  $(2,428,219)

 

Net Working Capital deficiency increased by $82,417, or 3.4%, from December 31, 2023, to December 31, 2024. The primary changes in current assets were the decrease in accounts receivable by $345,811 and payment processor receivables by $131,639. The decrease reflected overall lower sales in 2024 compared to 2023. The primary factor driving the decrease in current liabilities was other current liabilities decreasing by $361,421, mainly due to a decrease in the Company’s COIN provisional liability. Other main contributors were the decrease of deferred revenue by $68,713 as well as the decrease of the Company’s accounts payable and accrued expenses by $69,438.

 

Please refer to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

 

Cash Flow from operating activities:

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,479,829 and net cash used in operating activities was $2,555,482 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $4,035,310 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to 2023. The change was driven by improved operating results, mainly due to reduced online advertising expenditure as well as a decrease in receivables and inventories and a decrease in accounts payables.

 

Cash Flow from investing activities:

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $1,518,142 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to net cash provided of $1,245,783 by investing activities in the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Net cash from investing activities decreased by $2,763,925 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The change was primarily driven by crypto asset related purchases and sales. XY Labs purchased $1,523,734 worth of crypto assets in 2024, while in 2023 the Company sold $1,332,873 worth of crypto assets. In 2023 the Company also received the repayment of a note receivable of $100,000 in 2023, with no equivalent transaction in 2024.

 

Cash Flow from financing activities:

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $12,986 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to net cash of $10,657 used in financing activities in the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Net cash used in financing activities increased by $2,329 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The change resulted from higher principal payment of the Emergency Grant received by the Company from the Small Business Administration, as authorized under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. Please refer to Note 12 – Note Payable of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for details.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $874,557, alongside total net receivables of $991,382. Together, these balances provide the Company with financing to support its current operations. Additionally, the Company made significant improvements in its cash utilization from the $2,555,481 in cash used in operations in 2023 to cash provided by operations of $1,479,829 in 2024. This improvement was driven by better operational performance, primarily through cost management and reduced online advertising expenditure.

 

Despite these positive developments, the Company has a history of net losses and may continue to incur operating losses over the next twelve months or longer. Given this, the Company continues to actively monitor its financial position. Receivables, which form a key part of the Company’s working capital, play an important role in maintaining liquidity, but any delays or fluctuations could adversely affect cash flow.

 

Market conditions and broader macroeconomic events, including crypto market volatility and changes in interest rates, could also impact the Company’s operations and its ability to raise additional funds. If necessary, the Company may seek future funding through equity or debt financing, although no such efforts are currently underway. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital when required, this could negatively impact its financial condition and ability to pursue its business strategies and continue operations.

 

Due to the Company’s financial performance and liquidity challenges, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. Management is committed to taking appropriate actions, including exploring financing solutions if needed, to address any liquidity shortfalls and ensure the sustainability of the business.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of XY Labs, Inc.

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of XY Labs, Inc. (a Delaware corporation), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of XY Labs, Inc. as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of XY Labs, Inc. and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about XY Labs, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

 

 

PKF San Diego, LLP is a member of PKF Global, the network of member firms of PKF International Limited, and Allinial Global, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity and does not accept any responsibility or liability for the actions or inactions of any individual member or correspondent firm(s). 

F-2

 

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of XY Labs, Inc.’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about XY Labs, Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 – Description of Business

 

XY Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company was originally formed as a limited liability company in June 2012. In May 2016, the Company changed its name from Ength Degree, LLC to XY – the Findables Company and converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation pursuant to applicable conversion statutes of the Delaware General Corporation Law. On November 9, 2018, the Company changed its name to XY – The Persistent Company. The Company changed its name to XY Labs, Inc. on May 4, 2021.

 

The XYO Foundation is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and a California corporation. The primary objectives of XYO Foundation include (i) providing software and technical documentation for the XYO Network, (ii) offering services and support to like-minded software project communities contributing to XYO projects, and (iii) governing the use and licensing of XYO open-source assets. The XYO Foundation had no operational activities, assets or liabilities in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, the XYO Foundation. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated during the consolidation process.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the financial statements include, but are not limited to, useful lives of property and equipment, value of crypto assets, stock options issued, fair value of services received, the Company’s liability for activity in the COIN app, evaluation of intangible assets for impairment and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates and these differences may be material.

 

Crypto assets

 

Crypto assets, including Ethereum, Bitcoin and XYO Tokens, are recorded as assets on the Company’s balance sheet. Crypto assets purchased are recorded at cost and crypto assets earned through the sale of Ethereum-based ERC20-compatible Tokens to be used via the XYO Network (the “XYO Tokens”) or other products are accounted for in connection with the Company’s sales recognition policy, as disclosed below. As the Company’s native XYO Token is a self-created intangible asset with a cost basis of $0, XYO Tokens are not recorded on the balance sheet, unless the Company has purchased them in an open market transaction. Purchased XYO Tokens are recorded at cost and impaired for any decline in value.

 

F-9

 

 

XY Labs, Inc. 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Crypto assets held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the crypto asset at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is unlikely that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash. The Company may maintain cash balances at what it believes are high credit-quality financial institutions. At times, balances at one financial institution may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000. The Company’s total cash balance was $874,557 as of December 31, 2024, of which $366,501 was uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, nor does the Company believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its cash and cash equivalents.

 

In addition to cash holdings, the Company holds significant receivables from payment processors. These balances represent amounts collected by third-party processors on behalf of the Company but not yet remitted. While this introduces an additional concentration of credit risk—particularly if any processor were to default or delay payment—the Company monitors these relationships closely. As of the reporting date, the payment processors used have demonstrated timely remittance patterns and no signs of business weakness or financial instability. Nevertheless, the Company recognizes that any disruption in this area could pose a financial risk.

 

Concentrations of Customers, Vendors and Suppliers

 

The Company had no vendor concentration during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The Company did not purchase any hardware related to its COIN product business, and only purchased packaging materials in immaterial amounts. In addition the Company purchased COIN redeem items, however those were purchased through various ecommerce platforms, again with no vendor concentration that could impact the business. Comparatively, two vendors accounted for approximately 92% of the Company’s purchases in the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, relating to NFC cards.

 

In the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company used third-party payment service providers, most notably Apple and Google, through which COIN subscription and product payments were processed. Any loss of these providers would have an adverse impact on the Company. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no customer concentration. Most of the Company’s sales are made to end customers with immediate payment for purchased goods and services.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company classifies all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of 90 days or less at the date of purchase as cash and cash equivalents.

 

Receivables from Payment Processors

 

Receivables from online payment processors are comprised of cash due from third-party online payment service providers for clearing transactions. The cash was paid or deposited by customers or users through these online payment agencies for services provided by the Company. Receivables from payment processors were $357,883, $489,522 and $606,537 as of December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Receivable balances are written off when they are deemed uncollectible.

XY Labs, Inc. 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company's accounts receivables mainly comprised of Google Play Store and Apple App Store receivables as well as partnership and advertiser receivables. The receivables represented payments due for sales through the App stores after the deduction of processing fees, as well as for user engagements through the COIN App. As of December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total receivables were $633,499, $979,310 and $834,520, respectively. Receivable balances are written off if deemed uncollectible.

 

Receivable Allowances and Credit Losses

 

The allowance for credit losses is established based on management’s judgment regarding the potential write-down of payment processor receivables and accounts receivable. In determining the appropriate allowance, management considers historical write-down patterns, the overall level of receivables, and current sales trends. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of all counterparties and recognizes an allowance for credit losses in any period when a loss is deemed probable. The Company recorded an allowance for credit losses of $78,405 as of December 31, 2024 and $38,235 as of December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has also granted crypto asset loans to third parties in 2023 and 2024. While these loans are also subject to third party credit risk, the Company has not experienced any losses in the past and also assessed the third parties as solvent. Hence no allowances were set up in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, determined on a weighted average basis, and net realizable value, and consists of purchased finished goods. Reserves are provided for slow moving and obsolete inventory, which are estimated based on a comparison of the quantity and cost of inventory on hand to management's forecast of customer demand. Inventory was $248,606 and $300,779 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company had not set up an inventory reserve as of December 31, 2024. An inventory reserve of $665,454 was set up in 2023 in relation to XY4+ devices, which the Company discontinued to sell and disposed of in early 2024. The reserve reflected a 100% write down on the cost basis of the XY4+ devices as well as related key chains the Company had on hand as of December 31, 2023.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset (three to five years) using the straight-line method.

 

Accrued COIN Liability

 

COIN users can collect in-app coins, which are redeemable for either crypto assets or physical products. The Company sets an internal price for each in-app coin, which is used to determine the USD value for which customers can redeem such coin. Users must reach a threshold of 10,000 in-app coins before being eligible to redeem their collected coins. In-app coins expire if the user account was inactive for six months. The Company records a liability for accrued coins within customer accounts. The accrued COIN liability was $2,714,207 and $3,060,330 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Sales Recognition

 

Sales are recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). In accordance with ASC 606, sales are recognized when the promised goods and services are provided or shipped to customers. The amount of sales recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing sales when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company realized net sales of $8,849,250. During this period, COIN subscription sales accounted for 42.4%, in-app engagement sales for 43.2%, while non-fungible tokens and other products accounted for 14.4% of net sales. COIN App related provisions, which were recorded for anticipated user redemptions in exchange for in-app coins, decreased by $345,280. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company generated net sales of $10,864,085. During this period, COIN subscription sales accounted for 54.6%, in-app engagement sales for 38.0%, while other products accounted for 6.7% of net sales. As of December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had recognized deferred revenue on its balance sheet of $99,270, $167,983 and $280,796, respectively.

 

Reporting Segments

 

The Company reports one segment. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company's primary revenue driver was the COIN App. Associated revenues, including subscriptions, product sales, and engagement partnerships, are integrally linked to the COIN App and are not managed or assessed as separate business lines. Consequently, further disaggregation of financial information is neither applicable nor utilized in internal decision-making processes. The Company will continue to monitor its operations and assess the need for segment reporting in future periods, particularly in light of potential new revenue sources that may emerge in 2025.

 

Products

 

Sales of COIN products (NFCs) and merch products were recognized upon shipment, net of an allowance for estimated and actual returns. Subscriptions sales are mostly charged monthly, and in some cases also on an annual and semi-annual basis. Subscription sales are recorded to sales from deferred revenue on a straight-line basis over the subscription term. The Company allows customers to claim a refund for subscription charges under certain conditions. The allowance for sales returns is based on management’s judgement using historical experience and expectation of future conditions. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company provided for $25,195 and $40,492, respectively, as sales returns allowance.

 

Mobile Application

 

The Company operates a self-developed mobile application, COIN, that lets users collect in-app coins when they move and collect coins located in map tiles. Users can download the Company’s free-to-use or subscription-based application through digital storefronts such as the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Sales from subscriptions are recognized over the subscription term as the service is provided, which is mostly monthly and to a lesser amount annually or semi-annually. The Company defers the recognition of sales for the portion of the service period that the customer has already paid for, but that has not yet lapsed.

 

F-12

 

 

XY Labs, Inc. 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company records sales generated through COIN on a gross basis as the Company acts as the principal in the mobile game arrangements under which the Company controls the specified services before they are provided to the customer. In addition, the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the user experience, tracking the accumulation and payout of in-app coins, and maintaining services, and has discretion in setting the price for the services to the customer. These revenues are net of payment processor fees and platform/app store fees.

 

The Company also generates sales from advertising on COIN. For a limited number of advertising network arrangements, the transaction price is determined based on a volume-tiered pricing structure, whereby the price per advertising unit in each month is determined by the number of impressions delivered in that month. However, the uncertainty concerning the number of impressions delivered is resolved at the end of each month, therefore eliminating any uncertainty with respect to the price per advertising unit for each reporting period.

 

For in-app display advertisements, in-app offers, engagement advertisements and other advertisements, sales are generated once the users interact with the offering to a predefined step. The Company has no performance obligations that it needs to fulfill. Either the customer uses the in-app services or not.

 

XYO Name Service (xyoNS)

 

Revenue from sales of xyoNS usernames was recognized at the time of transaction when control of the service was transferred to the user. The service allows users to register human-readable usernames in place of blockchain wallet addresses within the xyOS ecosystem. Sales are processed through a self-service interface, and due to the digital and non-refundable nature of the product, no allowance for returns was recorded. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $5,574 in revenue related to xyoNS name registrations. The Company did not sell any xyoNS name registrations in 2023.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales includes the cost of product, packaging, inbound freight, and any other direct costs associated with receipt of goods. Other costs, including purchasing, receiving, quality control, and warehousing are classified as general and administrative expenses. At times, the Company provides free products to its customers. These free products are recognized in cost of sales.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company's research and development (R&D) costs are mainly related to salaries and wages for its employees engaged in R&D activities. These activities involve the XYO Network, the Company’s data verification network and the COIN App. The R&D team's contributions include development of the XYO Network's architecture, protocols, and blockchain technology, as well as the COIN App's features, user experience, and gamification elements. The team members have various roles and responsibilities, reflecting their focus on different aspects of the projects. R&D expenses also included stock option expenses of $636,888 and $625,860 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Online Advertising Costs

 

The Company mainly uses online advertising to market its products to customers. The main online advertising platforms that the Company used during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were Facebook, Google and TikTok. The costs are expensed as incurred. Online advertising costs were $1,836,596 and $5,218,196 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

XY Labs, Inc. 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements through the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all option-based payment awards to employees, consultants and directors based on estimated fair values. For employees and directors, fair value is measured at the date of grant and remains constant during the vesting period of the grant. For all others, fair value is measured at each date on which vesting of the grant occurs. Forfeitures of stock options are accounted for as they occur.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of options and warrants at the date of grant. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility in the value of the Company’s common stock, and the expected term of the option. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, the share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. These assumptions are estimated as follows:

 

Risk-free Interest Rate

 

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury instruments appropriate for the expected term of the stock option grants.

 

Expected Volatility

 

Due to limited historical data, the Company bases its volatility assumption on a combined weighted average derived from a peer group of similar-sized companies in the mobile app and geospatial sectors.

 

Expected Term

 

The expected term represents the period that options are expected to be outstanding. As the Company does not have sufficient historical experience for determining the expected term of the stock options awards granted, the expected life is determined using the simplified method, which is an average of the contractual terms of the option and its ordinary vesting period.

 

Dividend Yield

 

We have no history or expectation of paying cash dividends on our common stock, hence dividend yield is zero for all periods presented.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the related 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 when the rate change is enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.

 

The Company has adopted accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company recognizes tax positions in its financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by the Federal taxing authorities for a period of three years from the date they are filed and a period of four years for California taxing authorities. The years open for tax examinations are 2021 through 2024.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Going Concern

 

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a net loss of $315,353. The Company was unable to cover its operational costs through sales of its products and services. Consequently, further investments will likely be necessary to continue the development of the XYO Network Layer One, realizing the commercial opportunities previously outlined, and to enhance the COIN App as well as to develop new services and applications. These investments The Company expects that such investment will aim to drive user acquisition, stimulate wider adoption of products and services across both B2B and B2C markets, and ultimately increase revenue streams from the COIN App and associated advertising, thereby enabling XY Labs to achieve operational break-even.

 

As a result, the Company may continue to incur operating losses in the near term while investing in the development and expansion of its Layer One blockchain and associated ecosystem. To support these efforts, the Company may seek to fund its operations through equity and/or debt financing or other sources, as it deems necessary. Additional capital may not be available on terms favorable to the Company, if at all, including due to general macroeconomic conditions or unforeseen factors. If the Company fails to raise capital or generate liquidity through the sale of its products, services, or token-based infrastructure, it will have a negative impact on its financial condition and its ability to pursue its business strategies.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern from the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 1-K. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This update enhances segment reporting by requiring public entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items, even for entities with a single reportable segment. The amendments aim to provide investors with more detailed and decision-useful information about a public entity's reportable segments. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.

 

In December 2023, the FASB released ASU No. 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”). ASU 2023-08 aims to refine the accounting practices and disclosures associated with crypto assets. The update outlines the requirements for entities to measure and recognize crypto assets that meet certain criteria at market value measurements. The application of ASU 2023-08 results that crypto assets will be measured at fair value separately from other intangible assets in the Company’s financial statements. Additionally, the update introduces comprehensive disclosure requirements, including details on significant crypto asset holdings and their fair values.

 

This update becomes effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, offering flexibility to entities in aligning with the new standards ahead of the mandatory implementation date. Management will apply the standard for its 2025 financial reporting.

XY Labs, Inc. 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This standard enhances transparency by requiring more detailed disclosures regarding income tax payments and effective tax rate reconciliations. The amendments aim to provide investors and stakeholders with clearer insights into the tax-related aspects of the entity's operations. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Management will is evaluating the applicability and benefits of early adoption of this standard and determine if early application makes sense for the Company.

 

In November 2024, the FASB released ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). ASU 2024-03 mandates enhanced disclosure requirements for public business entities, specifically necessitating detailed disaggregation of certain expenses in the financial statement footnotes. The standard aims to enhance financial transparency and comparability among entities. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Management is assessing the standard’s relevance and consider the potential advantages of early implementation.

 

Subsequent events

 

Management has evaluated events occurring after December 31, 2024, through the date on which these financial statements were available for issuance. The relevant subsequent events identified by management are outlined below. However, none of these events have an impact on the financial results for the year ended December 31, 2024, as presented in this filing.

 

Introduction of LayerOne and Dual-Token System: XY Labs announced the introduction of the XYO Layer One blockchain, an expansion of the XYO Network that features a dual-token functionality comprising the existing $XYO token and the newly announced $XL1 token in April 2025. The $XYO token continues to serve as the primary utility token within the ecosystem, while the $XL1 token operates as a gas token, facilitating transactions and smart contract operations on the XYO Layer One blockchain. This strategic initiative is intended to enhance operational capabilities, support network scalability, and enable broader application of the XYO Network technology. Management anticipates that the introduction of XYO Layer One blockchain will strengthen market position and facilitate new growth opportunities.

 

Shareholder Share Swap Agreement: In January 2025, Markus Levin completed a share swap transaction with a third party for a portion of his shares of Class A Common Stock of XY Labs and the Class A Common Stock. In connection with such transaction, XY Labs made certain customary representations to the counterparty regarding XY Labs.

 

Note 3 – Crypto Assets

 

The Company utilizes its proprietary utility token, XYO, along with other crypto assets as part of its regular business operations. The Company employs these assets to facilitate data verification, secure digital transactions, and maintain liquidity through decentralized crypto pools. As a result, the management and accounting of XYO and additional crypto assets are integral to the Company’s financial reporting and operational framework.

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded network transaction fees of a USD equivalent of $27,199, compared to $29,766 during the same period in 2023. Furthermore, crypto assets were used for COIN user redemptions. The related expenses were recognized at the carrying value of the crypto assets at the time of distribution, with total expenses recorded at $180,874 in 2024 compared to $268,131 in 2023. In addition, crypto assets were used to pay for services, with the total recorded amounts being $157,064 in 2024 and $54,816 in 2023. These transactions are recorded in accordance with the Company’s established accounting policies for crypto assets.

XY Labs, Inc. 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company also earned crypto pool fees of $377,718 in 2024, compared to $134,094 in 2023. These fees are recognized when accrued pool fees are withdrawn from decentralized liquidity pools, with values based on the market price of the crypto assets at the time of withdrawal.

 

In addition to these operational uses, the Company executed various transactions involving crypto assets. In 2024, it purchased crypto assets for an equivalent of $1,523,734 and sold crypto assets for $1,592 during that period. In 2023, the Company bought crypto assets for $184,850 and sold XYO tokens for an equivalent of $1,332,873. Exchanges between crypto assets are recorded at their carrying values, resulting in no profit or loss impact.

 

The Company also loaned crypto assets at a book value equivalent of $291,089 as of December 31, 2024—including allocations of XYO, ETH, USDC, and USDT tokens—whereas in 2023, it loaned crypto assets at an equivalent of $31,888 book value to third parties. XY Labs lends crypto assets to third-party market makers to enhance market liquidity and provide depth in token marketplaces. This activity supports price stability and trading volume for the tokens. The primary risk involves potential credit risk from the borrowers, although XY Labs relies on the credibility and market position of these counterparties to mitigate such risks. There are no collateral requirements from the borrowers. The loans are unsecured. XY Labs can call back the loans with a specified notice period, providing flexibility in managing its asset portfolio. The Company monitors the loans for impairment in case the market value of the crypto assets loaned falls below the recognized book value of the loan. No impairments related to crypto asset loans were recorded in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

During 2024, the Company received 180,000,000 XYO tokens from a third party as repayment for a crypto loan granted in 2022 with a book value of $0. Hence the Company also did not recognize and gain or increase in US dollar denominated assets related to repayment of the loan.

 

The Company made targeted crypto-based investments as well. In February 2023, it invested 4,370,629 XYO tokens into Natix GmbH, with these tokens recorded at a $0 cost basis. Later, in July 2024, the Company received 80,000,000 Natix tokens, with a market value at approximately $69,344 at the time of receipt, pursuant to an investment agreement with Natix. Since the investment into Natix was made through XYO token at a zero Dollar cost basis, the Natix tokens were also recorded at $0 in the financial statements through December 31, 2024.

 

Finally, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $489,230 in 2024, compared to $57,889 in 2023, when the fair value of crypto assets fell below their carrying values. This impairment was not reversed even if market prices increased subsequently.

Note 8 - XYO Proxy Token Plan

 

On July 31, 2018, the Company adopted the 2018 Proxy Token Plan pursuant to which proxy token awards (“Proxy Tokens”) may be authorized and granted to the Company’s executive officers, directors, employees, and key consultants. The value of the Proxy Tokens is tied to the value of the Company’s native XYO Token at the time of vesting, and the Proxy Tokens vest pursuant to a vesting schedule as determined by the Board. Payments made in respect of vested Proxy Tokens will be made, as determined by the Board, in either (i) cash equal to the value of such Proxy Tokens, or (ii) a number of XYO Tokens with a value equal to the value of such Proxy Tokens.

 

The table below shows the Proxy Tokens issued and vested During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2023

Total vested or expected to vest   95,497,405   $0.0307 

 

The proxy tokens are tied to an internally developed intangible asset, the XYO Token, and therefore no value has been ascribed to them. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company recognized no provisional liability from the Proxy Token Plan.

 

Note 9 - XYO Warrants

 

In 2019, the Company issued XYO Token warrants to consultants. The warrants enable the holders thereof to purchase XYO Tokens at a fixed price for up to 10 years. These warrants were deemed to be a form of additional compensation and an obligation, rather than equity, however, as the warrants are tied to an internally developed intangible asset, the XYO Token. Therefore, no value has been ascribed to them. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recognized no provisional liability from the XYO Warrants granted. The Company had 9 and 10 outstanding warrants for a total of 218,387,376 and 312,387,376 XYO tokens as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company paid out 71,201,431 XYO tokens under the XYO warrant plan and recognized related expenses of $32,031 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.

 

Note 10 – Right of use asset and Lease liability

 

The Company uses Accounting Standards Codification 842 – Leases (“ASC 842”) effective January 1, 2019. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception by assessing whether the arrangement contains an identified asset and whether we have the right to control the identified asset.

 

Right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. Right of use assets are based on the measurement of the lease liability and also include any lease payments made prior to or on lease commencement and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In addition, the Company has chosen, as an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset, not to separate non-lease components from the associated lease for all its leased asset classes. The Company determined to treat lease costs with an original maturity of less than one year as short-term lease costs and did not record a right-of-use asset or related lease liability for these leases but rather continued to record rent expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company was not a party to any lease agreements with a maturity of shorter than one year in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

The Company did not extend its lease for its office and warehouse location at 1405 30th St, Suite A, San Diego, California 92154, and the lease ended as of June 30, 2024. Therefore, the Company did not no longer recognize a right to use asset or lease liability in connection to this lease as of December 31, 2024.

 

Effective July 1, 2024, the Company entered into a new three-year lease agreement expiring June 30, 2027, for office space at 740 13th Street #224, San Diego, California 92101.The lease provides no explicit renewal or extension options.

 

The lease contains certain variable costs, including common area maintenance (CAM), utilities, insurance, property taxes, and certain capital improvements allocated over the lease term. Variable rent costs were $6,982 and $11,321 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

As of July 1, 2024, the Company recognized a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability of $135,605 in connection with this lease.

 

Operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities relating to the operating leases reported are as follows

 

   As of 
   December 31,   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
Right of use asset  $113,005   $40,570 
Lease liability  $(113,869)  $(42,354)

 

The weighted average discount rate used to calculate the carrying value of the right of use asset and lease liability for location 1405 30th St, Suite A, San Diego, California 92154 lease was 6.8% as this was consistent with the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at lease initiation. The remaining right-of-use asset and lease liability expired on June 30, 2024.

 

The weighted average discount rate used to calculate the carrying value of the right of use asset and lease liability for the 740 13th Street #224, San Diego, California 92101 lease was 14.4%, consistent with the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate at lease initiation.

 

The Company recorded amortization expenses for the right of use asset of $63,170 and $81,140 for twelve months ended December 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 11 – Stock Issuance and Stocks Payable

 

In the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company received proceeds from the sale of certain shares of its Class A Common Stock.

In connection with the receipt of proceeds from such sales, the Company had recognized $1,391,760 and $1,392,760 in shares of Class A Common Stock payable as an obligation on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The reduction year-over-year was as a result of 125 shares of Class A Common Stock being converted from stock payable to additional paid in capital.

EIDL proceeds may be used to cover a wide array of working capital and normal operating expenses, such as continuation to health care benefits, rent, utilities, and fixed debt payments. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $475,321 and $487,624 outstanding on the EIDL loan, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities. Net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative changes in the ownership interest of significant stockholders over a three-year period more than 50%, as defined under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, respectively, as well as similar state provisions. This could limit the amount of tax attributes that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities. The amount of the annual limitation is determined based on the value of the Company immediately prior to the ownership change. Subsequent ownership changes may further affect the limitation in future years. The Company has completed financing since May 2016 which may have resulted in a change in control as defined by Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code or could result in a change in control in the future.

 

The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions and no amounts have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
