ITEM 1. THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS
Overview
The Company was incorporated on November 20, 2019, as a Delaware C corporation. We operate as a software development and acquisition company that develops software platforms and sources Software as a Service (“SaaS”), ecommerce, and online marketplace businesses in markets the Company believes are ripe for tech-enabled ventures to scale. Since the Company’s founding, the technology market dynamics and opportunities have changed. The Company has shifted much of its attention to two-sided online marketplaces with the acquisitions of Growth Collective Solutions, Inc. (“Growth Collective Solutions”) and Dealify, Inc. in 2021. The Company believes there are opportunities for acquisitions and new venture creation in the marketplace vertical, and we also believe that these businesses are more affordable to create, acquire and scale in today’s market than Software as a Service. Finally, the Company believes that marketplaces are more insulated from some of the current challenges facing the technology sector. Therefore, while the Company continues to operate Hello Bar LLC (“Hello Bar”) and Subscribers as Software as a Service platforms, it is spending significant time on operating its current marketplace businesses. It is also considering acquiring or founding additional marketplace businesses.
During fiscal year 2022, the Company put significant time, energy and capital into integrating Growth Collective Solutions and Dealify, both of which we acquired in November, 2021. During the year, the Company also invested in Convert More, Inc. (“Convert More”), owner of OnboardFlow, a technology platform that was acquired in March, 2021. The Company’s Convert More efforts were focused on getting the OnboardFlow technology platform to be ready to sell and market on a larger scale. In fiscal year 2022, the Company also executed activities to try to grow Hello Bar, a subsidiary which operates both Hello Bar and Subscribers. The efforts to grow each of the Company’s subsidiaries largely involved: 1) Hiring employees to operate these subsidiaries, 2) Integrating books/records, administration, human resources, and finance, and 3) Building our sales and marketing capabilities within the Company and its subsidiaries. In addition to research and development for products developed by Legion Works, we also incurred expenses related to research and development of companies that we may acquire.
As a Regulation A+ Company, Legion Works, Inc. also must dedicate significant time and resources to conform to Regulation A+ reporting requirements. These requirements include an annual audit, an annual report, a semi-annual report, and other related activities. In fiscal year 2022 these activities were managed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in partnership with external accounting, legal and finance partners.
The Company did not acquire or start any additional ventures in 2022 beyond what it had acquired prior to fiscal year 2022. This was due to the fact that 1) The company wanted to focus on growing its current ventures, and 2) The Company noted the acquisition environment in 2022 became challenging, given capital raised. The Company is currently considering new acquisitions or new ventures in 2023. However, these efforts may depend on the Company’s ability to raise more capital to fund such activities.
Principal Products and Services
The Company is working to build an online B2B platform that provides our clients and customers with the tools and services to help companies market and grow their businesses. We expect to achieve these goals by adding technology and services to the Legion Works platform by either acquiring businesses or assets that fit within our framework and integrating them into our platform, or by building the technology and related products in house. As part of these efforts, the Company centralizes the core administrative functions of each subsidiary so that each subsidiary can focus on the sales, marketing and product activities to help them grow. These administrative functions include Human Resources, Finance, Accounting, Legal and other related activities. These functions are managed by the Legion team and are executed in partnership with external service providers.
The Company’s principal products and services in fiscal year 2022 included five separate online platforms operated by four distinct subsidiaries. Growth Collective Solutions operates Growth Collective (www.growthcollective.com), a two-sided human capital marketplace that connects fast growing companies, agencies and venture firms with highly vetted and experienced marketers. The Company acquired Growth Collective Solutions in November, 2021. The Company has fulfilled on its financial obligations of the Growth Collective Solutions, Inc. acquisition, but continues to hold a right to purchase an additional 5% of Growth Collective from the seller at a predetermined valuation of $20 million which management has decided not to exercise at this time but may do so in the future. Dealify, Inc. operates Dealify (www.dealify.com), an online marketplace that offers deals on new software products from early-stage software companies. Dealify, Inc. was also acquired in November, 2021, and the Company has fulfilled on its financial obligations of the Dealify, Inc. acquisition. The seller of Dealify, Inc. can earn up to an additional 4% of Dealify, Inc. shares if Dealify achieves certain revenue targets during a seven-year look back period that expires Novemer 5, 2028:
2 |
| · | 1% (1,075 shares) if Dealify achieves $200,000 or more in monthly revenue for 3 consecutive months; |
| · | 1% (1,100 shares) if Dealify achieves $350,000 or more in monthly revenue for 3 consecutive months; |
| · | 1% (1,120 shares) if Dealify achieves $500,000 or more in monthly revenue for 3 consecutive months; and |
| · | 1% (1,150 shares) if Dealify achieves $650,000 or more in monthly revenue for 3 consecutive months. |
As of December 31, 2022, Dealify has not achieved the monthly revenue targets, and management does not expect it to do so in the near future.
Convert More, Inc. operates OnboardFlow (www.onboardflow.com), a software platform that is meant to help companies understand its free trail users and convert more of their free trial users into customers. Convert More, Inc. was a small acquisition made in March, 2021. At the time of the acquisition, the platform required further technology improvements to be able to scale it to attract additional customers. The Company has fulfilled on its financial obligations of the Convert More, Inc. acquisition. To date, our largest acquisition has been Hello Bar, which we acquired on December 31, 2020. Hello Bar operates two separate software platforms. Hello Bar (www.hellobar.com) is a web-based application that helps companies convert website traffic into customers and leads. Subscribers (www.subscribers.com) is another web-based application that helps companies bring traffic back to its website through web push notifications. The Company has fulfilled on its financial obligations of the Hello Bar LLC acquisition.
The Company made no acquisitions in 2022 and any previous considerations of starting or acquiring additional ventures were put on hold or abandoned so the Company could focus on growing its current holdings. As the Company looks to 2023, it is considering new acquisitions or starting new ventures. The Company’s ability to acquire or start additional ventures may require it to raise additional capital. Given current market conditions, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise this additional capital.
The Company’s Strategy
We are an online platform with a focus on software, ecommerce, and marketplace businesses. Management aims to build the Company by finding niche opportunities in the market for online businesses and technologies. In this regard, management intends to leverage its industry knowledge, strategic vision, operational expertise and business connections to identify underserved segments of this market and target its product and services development to fulfill those underserved segments. Given that SaaS multiples remained very high in 2022 and SaaS as a market saw downward pressure in 2022, the Company oriented some of its focus in 2022 to two-sided online marketplaces. While still largely focused on Sales and Marketing tech, the Company believes that there exist strong opportunities in the online marketplace sector.
A key component of the Company’s strategy is to remove the administrative burdens for each of its subsidiaries. The goal is for the subsidiaries to be able to focus on growth activities such as marketing, sales and product. Centralizing these administrative tasks at the Legion level requires the Legion executive and administrative staff to focus on these activities and to partner with external service providers in the areas of Finance, Accounting, Legal and Human Resources. The Company employs a leader for each of its subsidiaries. This leader has the responsibility of leading the day-to-day efforts of the company, overseeing the company staff, and rolling out marketing and sales initiatives to help drive growth. These leaders report directly to the Legion executive team.
The Company sees strong potential in Growth Collective Solutions, Inc., a business that connects high growth start-ups, agencies and venture capital firms with highly vetted and experienced freelance marketers. This is a market that the Company believes has the potential to grow considerably in coming years given greater adoption of freelancers as a means of staffing for companies and a continued move to remote work arrangements. In addition to investing in additional marketing and sales capabilities for Growth Collective Solutions, Inc. in 2022, the Company began the process of building a new version of the technology application that is the vehicle for the Growth Collective platform. The Company believes that evolving Growth Collective’s technology platform leverages its unique capabilities in product development while giving the Company an advantage against its competitors. Additionally, the Company sees an updated Growth Collective technology platform as a critical step in allowing Growth Collective to scale more effectively and efficiently. Finally, the Company believes that a more sophisticated technology platform within Growth Collective will increase the enterprise value of Growth Collective. Given the importance of this effort, the development of the updated Growth Collective platform is being led by the Company’s executive team. Further, consistent with the Company’s original business plan, the updated technology platform is being built by a team of designers and engineers in Poland.

During fiscal year 2022, the Company also spent significant time, energy and capital on integrating Dealify, Inc. Dealify is a marketplace that connects new and upcoming software companies with initial customers by selling lifetime access to the featured software. At the time of acquisition, Dealify, Inc. relied heavily on Facebook marketing for driving a significant portion of its revenues. Given a decline in the Return on Investment across Facebook for most companies in 2022, the Company had to quickly adjust its marketing strategy to stabilize and attempt to grow the business. This effort required an investment of time, energy and capital throughout the year and led to a greater investment level than was anticipated.
During fiscal year 2022, the Company also tested strategies to grow Hello Bar LLC and its software platforms Hello Bar and Subscribers. Early 2022 saw a decline in organic website traffic to Hello Bar and Subscribers due to Google algorithm updates as well as some re-directed traffic from former referring domains. Therefore, the Company spent early 2022 on building strategic partnerships with the goal of accelerating growth through these partnerships. The Company succeeded in solidifying two large strategic partnerships and spent time building technology to facilitate these partnerships. These strategic partnerships have not led to the level of growth anticipated for Hello Bar. One strategic partner has been slow to ramp up, and the other cancelled the partnership after being acquired by a private equity firm. Therefore, the latter half of the year involved the Company renewing its focus on organic marketing, testing paid acquisition channels, and testing a new monetization channel for Subscribers.
Finally, during fiscal year 2022, the Company spent time on Convert More, Inc., owners of OnboardFlow. Though it acquired OnboardFlow, the Company has viewed the product as a “new venture” and invested in Research and Development to build out the software platform to determine whether it could realistically bring the product to market for customers. The technology has proven to be difficult and expensive to build and maintain. As of December 31st, 2022, the Company was considering whether to continue dedicating resources to this venture. As of that date, the Company decided to keep working on the product to see if it could bring the technology to market.
In addition to its currently owned ventures, the Company considered additional acquisitions and new ventures in 2022. While the Company believed that the year would be best suited to focus on its existing ventures, it did research a series of new markets for new venture creation and also researched a number of potential acquisitions. As of December 31st, 2022, the Company did not have any immediate plans to acquire an additional venture and also did not have immediate plans to build a new venture. The Company does believe that it’s important to consider additional ventures in 2023 and is considering markets and acquisition opportunities while planning on testing the market to determine whether it believes it can raise the additional capital to support new acquisitions or ventures.
The Company’s Market
The Company is primarily focused on software, ecommerce, and marketplace businesses. The software as a service or “SaaS” market is evolving quickly. Based on our observation, the SaaS market, as well as a variety of other markets and industries, grew at an accelerated pace between March 2020 and March 2021 due to COVID-19 changing the way companies work. During this time, more companies were moving their operations online or needed tools to more effectively do their jobs remotely. Also, during this period, the multiples on businesses that might have been a good fit for the Company increased substantially, rendering them outside of our range of opportunities. However, with restrictions easing and vaccines becoming more available, we saw a decline in web traffic throughout 2021 and much of 2022. Further, declines in tech valuations and investments in the public markets in 2022 trickled down to smaller private companies in 2022, and the inflationary environment put downward pressure on technology customers in 2022. This meant less available cash for testing new products and software, and they were more hesitant to spend on marketing in 2022, given unknowns about the economy. Things were complicated further by significant declines in returns on investment across platforms such as Facebook due to impacts from changes from Apple and a continued move from desktop to mobile devices. The above challenges forced the Company to regularly adapt its strategy throughout 2022 to still achieve growth from 2021 to 2022. The Company believes that these market challenges will continue through 2023 and may escalate further before easing. The Company also believes that these challenges may present opportunities for winning greater market share from competitors and having opportunities for future acquisitions.

Competition
Given that the Company is a platform of multiple tools and marketplaces for sales tech and marketing tech, its products have a broad range of competitors. For Hello Bar and Subscribers, the focus on conversion rate optimization and content creation places us in competition with companies such as Optinmonster, Privy, Optimonk, Unbounce, Hubspot, and VWO. Some of these competitors have the backing of large venture capital funds and other resources. In seeking to break into the analytics market, we also face direct competition from Google Analytics and Mixpanel. Our strengths are our product expertise in terms of product ease of use and specific features designed for niche and fast evolving markets. Our management team has the expertise in this market to see the niche areas our competitors have not addressed. Unlike our well-funded competitors who typically focus on large enterprise customers, we tend to go after the middle segment of the market as well as small and medium businesses. We believe we have a competitive advantage in our ability to be flexible in our pricing. In 2022, we also saw an increased need from our Subscribers customers for using web push for monetization. Therefore, we invested resources to build new monetization features into Subscribers that we could test in early 2023. Given Subscribers’ strong footprint in the market (it is currently ranked as the 4th largest web push platform by BuiltWith), we believe that we have an opportunity to scale revenues by rolling out monetization features for our customers. Finally, we see geographic opportunities for both Hello Bar and Subscribers. While there is very strong competition in the U.S. for similar products, we see less competition in other markets such as Europe.
For Dealify, the company has multiple competitors that sell access to subscription software deals. The largest competitor is AppSumo, a large and well-entrenched company that has achieved substantial revenue. The Company faces other, smaller competitors as well, though these other companies have not reached the same level of scale. Dealify aims to compete based on the quality of deals it offers and the customer service it provides to its customers. We also believe it’s important to increase the brand loyalty from our customers, and consequently we rolled out a “membership program” in late 2022.
Growth Collective operates in a fast growing industry that has further grown from recent changes to more remote workforces. The Company’s direct competitors include similar premium marketing freelancer platforms such as Mayple and MarketerHire, as well as larger broad freelancer marketplaces such as Upwork and Fiverr. Growth Collective competes based on its vetting process, its high-end and strongly-vetted freelancers, and its combination of tech-enabled and human matching of freelancers and companies. We also believe that our focus on being a true technology platform will help us to win against some of our fast-growing competitors. Some of our largest competitors have spent considerable capital on building up large sales and marketing teams and seem to be doubling down on being agencies rather than true technology companies. Finally, several of our competitors charge excessive fees, provide low-quality customer service, and operate without transparency, and these liabilities create opportunities for Growth Collective.
Finally, OnboardFlow competes with larger analytics companies that focus on insights for app developers. These companies include Segment, Amplitude and Mixpanel. Onboard Flow looks to compete based on ease of adoption, ease of use and affordability. This is proving to be much more difficult than anticipated as the infrastructure costs get very large, very quickly for these kinds of businesses, and we do not see it feasible to raise a large round of capital specifically for this business to support such costs.
Employees
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a total of ten (10) full-time employees and one (1) part-time employee working in Legion Works and its subsidiaries. Executives Ryan Bettencourt (CEO), Caleb Green (COO) and Grant Bostrom (Head of Ventures) are full time at Legion. Michael Kamo remains with the Company as Chairman of the Board, but does not currently serve as an executive officer.
Additionally, each of Legion Works’ subsidiaries is led by, at least, one executive. As of December 31st, 2022, Michael Wicker was the General Manager of Hello Bar, Dan Minahan was the CEO and Felix Remennik was the President of Growth Collective, and Dan Canfield was the General Manager of Dealify. Charlie Bateman was splitting his time between being the General Manager of OnboardFlow and doing outbound sales for Growth Collective.
In addition, Legion Works has engaged with other key individuals as contractors and consultants who possess a range of expertise, including marketing, business development, software engineering, business operations and other areas. These contractors and consultants work in our subsidiaries, and almost of them are based internationally. For details, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis.”
We expect the number of business and direct research personnel hired by Legion Works will scale based upon funds raised in the Company’s offering under Regulation A and as operating needs warrant. For information regarding the impact of the tight labor market and inflation, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Operating Expenses” and “--Key Trends.”
Intellectual Property
Currently, the Company’s subsidiary, Hello Bar, holds a trademark. The Company filed an application for extension of this trademark in 2022, and a 10 year extension was granted by the U.S. Patent and Trade Office on August 26th, 2022. The Company also filed for a trademark for Growth Collective in 2022, and is waiting to learn whether it has been accepted. As the Company’s business develops, in particular its software products, we expect to file more trademarks and possibly patents as well.
Litigation
The Company has not been involved in any litigation, and its management is not aware of any pending or threatened legal actions relating to its intellectual property, the conduct of its business activities, or otherwise.
The Company’s Property
The Company currently owns no real property. At this time, management has no plans to procure office space or other real property.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion relates to Legion Works’ financial condition and results of operations and includes audited financial data through December 31, 2022 and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this annual report. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements
The Audit Reports for our Audited Financial Statements for the Fiscal Years Ending December 31, 2022 and 2021
Our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, were audited by Alan T. Schiffman, CPA, PC (“Schiffman, CPA, PC”), whose firm was subsequently acquired by Goldstein & Loggia CPA’s, LLC (“Goldstein & Loggia”). The partner from Schiffman, CPA, PC served as a consultant to the Goldstein & Loggia team that audited our 2022 financial statements. Nevertheless, our audit report for our 2021 financial statements has been issued by Schiffman, CPA, PC, and our audit report for our 2022 financial statements has been issued by Goldstein & Loggia.
Overview
Legion Works, Inc. was incorporated on November 20, 2019, as a Delaware corporation. The Company is building up a series of online software, e-commerce and marketplace tools to help companies market and grow their businesses. The Company operates as a software development and acquisition company that develops software platforms and sources SaaS, e-commerce and online marketplace businesses in markets the Company believes are ripe for a tech-enabled venture to scale. The Company has been centralizing administrative operations at the Legion level and adding sales, marketing and product resources and initiatives at our owned entities.
A key part of our strategy is to centralize administrative functions such as Legal, Accounting, Finance and Human Resources at the Legion level so that our owned entities can focus on growth activities without the burdens of day to day administrative tasks. The Legion executive team manages these administrative functions and provides overall leadership, raises capital and interacts with investors, seeks out new acquisition opportunities, determines possible new ventures to create, fulfills on the requirements of Regulation A+, and other related duties. The Legion executive team also executes key initiatives within the individual entities, with a focus on product and marketing activities. In 2022 much energy and effort was put into centralizing the administrative functions at the Legion level. The Company and its executive team continues to work on finding a balance between spending time on the required administrative activities to support its many ventures and the need to help its subsidiaries grow through actively assisting in the execution of growth activities at those subsidiaries. The Company spent a great deal of time on administrative duties in 2022 and believes that it should employ more administrative resources in 2023 so that it can focus more energies on growth activities for each of its ventures.
In 2022, the Company also spent a great deal of time investing in activities within the individual entities to help those companies to grow and scale. 2022 posed new challenges for both Legion Works and its individual entities. Given headwinds in the economy and some technology and strategy changes within major marketing platforms, it was more expensive in 2022 to acquire and retain customers. Within a strong inflationary environment, the Company found it more difficult to attract and retain employees, and salaries and benefits were more expensive than expected. And, the technology sector also faced challenges in the public and private markets. This left companies with less available cash to spend on trying and keeping new software products and platforms.
2022 was a year that required significant focus and adaptability, and we decided to spend much of the year on our existing ventures. This meant that, while we considered acquiring and starting new ventures, we felt it best to focus our energies and capital on giving our current ventures the best chances for growth. Further, we were required to be nimble and regularly test new strategies, approaches and channels for growth. Many strategies that worked for our various entities prior to 2022 did not work as well in 2022.
6 |
In the face of these challenges, we believe the company showed its resiliency and created additional opportunities. COO Caleb Green was hired in the second quarter of the year and quickly made valuable contributions in helping us to streamline our efforts, track performance to drive accountability across the organization, and have clear goals and plans of execution. As a company, we saw the need to evolve the technology platform within Growth Collective and hired a product and engineering team in Poland to start building the next version of Growth Collective’s technology. We responded to significant challenges within Dealify, a company that was heavily dependent on Facebook ads for its revenue and growth and needed to test new marketing channels to get back on course when Facebook ad performance became more difficult for all companies. We hired new leadership to help lead Dealify and Growth Collective, and we promoted a long-standing member of the Hello Bar team to General Manager to lead Hello Bar and Subscribers. We opened a European entity to have a footprint to explore growth opportunities for Legion and our individual entities and to have a base from which to manage our product development efforts in Poland. And, our executive team balanced the tremendous requirements of managing the administrative functions of our ventures and the significant requirements of Regulation A+ reporting with the need to also execute key initiatives within our entities.
While we had hopes of growing faster in 2022, our revenue did grow by nearly 55%. Our expenses were also higher in 2022 but we worked hard to keep our costs in line during the year in an effort to maintain what we considered to be a reasonable burn rate by start-up standards.
The Company believes that 2023 will continue to have macroeconomic challenges, such as above average inflation and uncertainties about the stock market and housing, both of which could produce additional headwinds. The Company also believes that the cooling in the tech industry could remain throughout the year and that the flow of investment capital will be slower for tech companies. However, the Company also believes that it strengthened the team in 2022, built strong administrative foundations, built a clear executional plan, and leveraged its leaders’ experience managing through market challenges. As the Company looks forward to 2023, it sees potential opportunities presented by market challenges. Therefore, while the Company makes no guarantees, it did spend time at the end of 2022 considering additional acquisitions, exploring ideas for creating an additional venture, and researching how it might raise additional capital in 2023 to potentially fuel these possible opportunities. The Company experienced market challenges as tech executives in 2008-2010 and believes that this experience will help it to navigate current and future potential market challenges. During these challenges, Management believes it is key to remain lean, nimble and spend a great deal of time getting close to its customers.
Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021
Net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (“FYE 2022”) was $2,306,004 compared to a net loss of $1,551,019 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (“FYE 2021”), which we believe was driven by a number of factors discussed in detail below in “-- Operating Expenses” and “-- Other (Income) and Expenses.” Management notes that amortization for 2022 and 2021 was $1,027,104 and $868,430, respectively, which was our next largest expense for FYE 2022 after salaries and wages, and our largest expense during FYE 2021. As described elsewhere in this report, management has been working to conserve cash and be strategic with how we spend in this current environment. Overall we have seen a decrease in internet traffic, which has resulted in an increase in the cost of acquiring customers across the technology sector. Further, our target markets found it more difficult to raise capital and, therefore, were less willing to try new platforms and software. During 2022, our competitors were also raising substantial funds from venture capital firms to scale their individual businesses. These well-funded competitors further drove up the cost of paid acquisition channels, such as paid search, paid social, and building sales and business development teams. Additionally, iOS 14 limits on targeting and capturing data made it more difficult to achieve strong Return on Ad Spending, which has had a negative impact on our subsidiary, Dealify. For more details see also “Business – Principal Products and Services.” Nevertheless, management has worked to find opportunities in this difficult environment, and we have seen our revenue increase to $2,500,299 for FYE 2002 from $1,612,798 for FYE 2021.
Revenues
The Company’s revenue on a consolidated basis for FYE 2022 came from the operations of Hello Bar, Growth Collective and Dealify. Dealify receives e-commerce revenue, and Growth Collective receives transactional revenue (percentage of revenue paid through the marketplace). Management has been investing in the growth of these entities through scaling up staff, marketing and sales to help these businesses grow faster. Nevertheless, we do not expect Growth Collective or Dealify to become profitable in 2023. Hello Bar was profitable in 2022 and we expect it to also be profitable in 2023. Legion Works, which serves as the holding company for our subsidiaries, does not generate revenue. Convert More has not yet begun generating revenue, and it is possible it will not generate revenue in 2023.
In 2022, we saw a continued decrease in revenue on Hello Bar/Subscribers from one of our largest partners and related party, Neil Patel Digital. We understand this decline was due to Neil Patel Digital changing its focus and overall company strategy to selling and marketing its own products rather than those of partners. In early 2023, revenue from this partnership has declined to almost zero. Mike Kamo, who serves as the Company’s Chairman of the Board, also is the Global CEO of Neil Patel Digital. The Company is working diligently to test other marketing channels such as Search Engine Optimization and Paid Search in hopes of replacing some of this lost revenue. Additionally, the Company is testing a new advertising based revenue stream to Subscribers in hopes of growing its revenues on the Subscribers product.

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contracts with our customers are satisfied. The contracts are monthly. However, based upon management’s analysis of the subscriber contracts, historically, the contracts for its software products are renewed on average from a seven to twelve month period. The Company also recognizes revenue from the sale, lease or licensing of software, which is accounted for as a long-term contract if significant customization or modification is involved. Otherwise, revenue from the sale, leasing or licensing of software will be recognized when there is persuasive evidence an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the Company’s price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the sales price is probable. The Company also recognizes revenue from the monetization of its platform applications once performance obligations as required under our customers’ contracts have been satisfied. The Company generates revenues by allowing its subscriber customers to use multiple interactive software platforms, including Hello Bar, Subscribers and Convert More. Both Dealify, Growth Collective and Convert More remain in the startup phase, and management expects to see further losses for the foreseeable future while we build our products, acquire more companies and assets, and establish our niche markets.
As noted above, we saw a substantial increase in revenue during FYE 2022 resulting in gross revenue of $2,500,299 as compared to $1,612,798 for FYE 2021.
Cost of Revenues
The Company’s cost of revenues for FYE 2021 was $551,438 compared to $208,237 for FYE 2021. This increase is largely the result of the Company operating Dealify for a full year. Dealify is a marketplace business in which we keep a percentage of every sale, with the rest of the sale being delivered to the app supplier and counted as cost of revenue. In addition, our cost of revenues include transaction fees paid to our payment processors at Hello Bar and Growth Collective. Therefore, increases in aggregate revenues across those businesses will result in increased Cost of Revenues.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for FYE 2022 were $3,231,724 compared to $2,074,664 for FYE 2021. The Company’s largest expenses were salaries and wages, which were $1,348,908 for FYE 2022 compared to $563,101 in FYE 2021. This increase was a result of adding team members at Legion and across our subsidiaries, operating Dealify, Growth Collective and Convert More for the full year, as well as the need to increase salaries and benefits to attract and retain key employees. Payments to contractors were reduced by approximately 9%, amounting to $648,387 in FYE 2022 compared to $687,486 for FYE 2021. As discussed further in “Trends” below, competition for talent in the tech sector has remained tight. Not only has the shortage of qualified tech workers driven up salaries and other benefits, the impact of inflation has also increased workers’ need for higher wages. In order to scale our growing company, we need to compete for talent against more well-funded competitors, which has been challenging.
The Company also saw an increase in operating expenses due to the significant increase in advertising and marketing, which climbed to $440,418 during FYE 2022 from $102,497 during FYE 2021. Growth Collective and Dealify both rely on paid acquisition (online advertising) to drive leads and sales. We also tested paid acquisition for Hello Bar in 2022 given a reduction in organic traffic for Hello Bar and Subscribers.
Other (Income) and Expenses
Management notes that amortization for 2022 and 2021 was $1,027,104 and $868,430, respectively, which was our next largest expense for FYE 2022 after salaries and wages, and our largest expense during FYE 2021. Our acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is between three to five years in most cases except goodwill, which amortizes over fifteen years. For details see Note 5 to the financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company had net cash of $4,673,907 as of FYE 2022 compared to $5,013,056 for FYE 2021. The Company’s largest source of funding has been the proceeds from its offering under Regulation A of Units comprising Voting Common Stock and Warrants. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has sold 4,364,646 shares of Voting Common Stock, plus 525,789 warrants to purchase Voting Common Stock, for net proceeds of $10,712,402. For more details regarding our Regulation A offering, see Note 10 to the financial statements. Subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Company has sold an additional 4,700 Units for approximately $16,920 gross proceeds, and no warrants have been exercised.
The proceeds from the Regulation A offering were used to fund the acquisition of Hello Bar, Convert More, Dealify and Growth Collective. As of December 31st, 2022 all financial obligations for each of these acquisitions have been fulfilled, including the two last payment of $200,000 remaining under the Hello Bar purchase agreement, which were paid on July 6, 2022, and October 25, 2022. We also paid the last $50,000 payment due under our purchase agreement for Dealify on August 9, 2022. For details regarding our acquisitions see Note 4 to the financial statements. As of December 31st, 2022, Legion owns 100% of Hello Bar, 90% of Growth Collective, 94% of Dealify and 90% of Convert More.
Proceeds from the Regulation A offering were also used to fund operational efforts at Legion and its subsidiaries in 2022. These proceeds were used to invest in resources and strategies to attempt to grow the Company’s subsidiaries, fund the work required to centralize administrative tasks, and to research additional acquisition or new venture efforts.
The Company does not generate sufficient revenue to cover all of its operating expenses at this time. This means that additional proceeds from our Regulation A offering will need to be used in 2023 to fund current operations and invest in activities in an effort to grow current ventures. While the Company believes it has enough capital to support these efforts for at least 12 months, it also anticipates needing additional capital to help it acquire or start additional ventures. Further, with current market conditions, scaling its additional ventures has proven to be more difficult and costly than anticipated. As discussed above, we have observed a significant increase in operating expenses due to increased salaries and wages as a result of inflation, which we do not anticipate changing in the near future. We have also observed downward pressure on some of our revenue channels due to decreased internet traffic, changes in technology that limits our ability to collect data on behalf of our subscribers, and increased competition from well-funded competitors. In addition to these trends, further pressure on revenue has been from our need to increase spending on our marketing. Any change in these factors or the overall economy could have a material impact on our business plan, results of operations, and financial condition.
The Company believes it is important to add additional ventures in 2023 and anticipates it will need to spend significant time in 2023 raising capital to support these efforts. Further, the Company believes it may need to invest in additional resources to support the administrative requirements for the Company in order for the Legion executive team to be able to actively support the growth of its current subsidiaries and to drive the efforts to potentially acquire or start new ventures.
The Company does not have any revolving credit facilities or other debt with which to fund its operations. If the Company is not able to raise enough capital through its Regulation A offering, or through other future offerings, including potential private offerings or debt, we may not be able to implement our business plans unless we obtain additional financing or are able to otherwise generate revenues and profits. There is no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient revenue now, or in the future, to sustain its operations without additional capital or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to the Company.
Key Trends
Overall, the economy during 2022 has impacted our business in a number of ways. Overall, concerns about the economy have resulted in our customers being more hesitant to renew their business with our subsidiaries. Further, attracting new customers has become more difficult and expensive given increased competition and lower conversion rates given that potential customers have less cash and have found it more difficult to raise capital. Continued changes across marketing platforms such as Google and Facebook have increased the costs of acquiring new customers. During 2022 higher inflation and a shortage of workers generally also created an expectation of higher wages for workers. As a result, we have been paying higher wages for both employees and contractors. We are also seeing increased costs related to health care, and other benefits that we provide our employees as part of our effort to hire and retain them. The Company believes these trends are consistent with what our competitors are seeing as well. This has meant that our competitors are also seeing downward pressure on revenue, increasing costs, and the need to raise additional capital and to quickly test and adopt new strategies for growth.
While the Company faced significant market challenges in 2022, it also believes its overall business plan and managerial discipline position it well to navigate these challenges. Unlike many early-stage companies, Legion is diversified in nature with multiple holdings. Further, because the Comopany acquired its current subsidiaries, there exists real asset value for those subsidiaries, which value is based on traction and revenue rather than future potential alone. The Company also believes it has built a series of financial tracking and operational schemas to allow it to be nimble in the event that raising additional capital becomes difficult. Finally, the Company believes that its leadership team has experience navigating market uncertainties, since they have built companies in both markets fueled by tailwinds and challenged by headwinds.
The Company believes that the challenges of 2023 will also present opportunities for winning additional market share for its existing ventures and for acquiring and building additional ventures. These efforts may require additional capital to execute. While the Company believes that raising capital in 2023 will be more difficult than previous years for all tech and early-stage companies, it also believes that its business model has strong appeal in the current market environment.
Given market uncertainties in 2023, the Company believes it will need to remain nimble, understand each of its ventures well through strong data and analytics, invest in its team to develop further leadership skills, and test new markets and strategies for its subsidiaries quickly and affordably.

707 TENNENT ROAD
MANALAPAN, NJ 07726
(732) 617-7004
To the Board of Directors of
Legion Works, Inc
La Jolla, California
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Legion Works, Inc (A Delaware Company) and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise of the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022, and the related Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity, and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit 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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company 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 Entity'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 described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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 this matter.
Prior Period Financial Statements Audited by a Predecessor Auditor
The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021, and the related Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity, and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows of the Company for the year then ended were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in their report dated June 22, 2022.
Responsibilities of Management for the 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 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 the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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, including omissions, 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 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 the Company’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 financial statements. |
|
|
|
| · | Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. |
|
|
|
| · | The auditor has not been engaged to communicate key audit matters. |
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.

Based upon the Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 16, 2021, the Company purchased ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding common shares of Growth Collective Solutions, Inc. (“Growth Collective") The purchase price was based upon the agreement’s value statement in which the buyer ascribed value to the various assets owned by Growth Collective. As a result, the Company’s financial statements include the consolidation of the Company and its subsidiary, Growth Collective. (See Note 4 for purchase details)
Based upon the Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 22, 2022, the Company purchased a hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding common shares of Legion Works GmbH. (See Note 4 for purchase details)
The Company is considered as an emerging growth company under Section 101(a) of the Jumpstart Business Act as it is an issuer that had total annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion during its most recently completed fiscal period. Since the Company is an emerging growth company, the Company has an exemption from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under Section 404(b), the Company is exempt from the internal control assessment required by subsection (a) that requires each independent auditor that prepares or issues the audit report for the issuer shall attest to, and report on, the assessment made by the management of the issuer.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.
Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements include valuation of provision for refunds and chargebacks, equity transactions and contingencies.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company has a limited operating history. The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include recession, downturn or otherwise, local competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains its cash with a financial institution located in the United States of America, which it believes to be credit worthy. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures balances up to $250,000. The Company maintains balances in excess of the federally insured limits.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investment with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash consists of funds held in the Company’s checking account and online payment platforms. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $4,673,907 and $5,013,056 of cash on hand, respectively.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment is initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized in Consolidated Statements of Operations and is provided over the estimated useful life of the assets as follow:
| Computer Equipment | - 5 years straight line |
| Servers | - 7 years straight line |
| Software | - 3 years straight line |
RECEIVABLES AND CREDIT POLICY
Based upon monthly contracts, (see discussion below), the Company sells subscriptions to use the various software app platforms. Trade receivables from subscribing customer contracts are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, primarily requiring pre-payment before services are rendered. Trade receivables will be stated at the amount billed to the customer. Payments of trade receivables will be allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoice. The Company, by policy, routinely assesses the financial strength of its customer. As a result, the Company believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited, and it has not experienced any write-downs in its accounts receivable balances.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In compliance with ASC 730-10, Research and Development expenditures, the Company capitalized and carries forward as assets, the costs to purchase and or develop multiple interactive software platforms, monetized through contract subscription revenues. Research is the planned efforts of a company to discover new information that will help create a new product or service. Development takes the findings generated by research and formulates a plan to create the desired platform Apps. The Company applies the GAAP capitalization requirements of the “waterfall” approach which includes a specific sequential order of Plan, Design, Coding/development, Testing and Software release.
The Company monetizes and forecasts the revenues from the multiple platform Apps software and amortizes the aggregated costs of the developmental software asset over the forecasted revenue stream; a matching of the revenue and costs, using the straight-line method, based on estimated useful lives of the asset. Maintenance of the platform will be expensed.
The Company reviews the carrying values of intangible assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. There was no impairment for December 31, 2022 and 2021.
DEFERRED SYNDICATION EXPENSE
Financial Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification number 340-10-S99-1, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, allows specific, incremental costs directly related to securities offerings to be deferred and charged against the gross proceed of the offering. The Company wrote off deferred syndication expenses, including professional fees, marketing, broker dealer and other related expenses in the amount of $245,283 and $368,937 in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework (Topic 820) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirement for Fair Value Measurement. This guidance removes or modifies various disclosures relating to the activity or reconciliation of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. It is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Management evaluated this guidance and there is no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines the fair values of its assets and liabilities based on a fair value hierarchy that includes 3 levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The 3 levels are as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are those other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inferences that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company’s own data.
For cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other payables, the carrying values approximated fair values because of the short-term maturity of those instruments and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of the contracts with our customers are satisfied. The contracts are monthly. However, based upon the management’s analysis of the subscriber contracts, historically, the contracts are renewed on average over from a seven to twelve months period. The Company generates revenues by allowing its subscriber customers to use multiple interactive software platforms, including the Onboardflow platform app acquired in March 2021.
SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION
The AICPA’s Accounting Standards Executive Committee (AcSEC), issued SOP 97-2, which provided guidance on when and how to recognize revenue from the sale, lease or licensing of computer software. It does not apply to the sale of products containing software that is incidental to the product being sold. Accordingly, the Company complies with the standards set forth therein as follows:

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
SOFTWARE REVENUE RECOGNITION (continued)
If the sale of computer software involves significant customization, modification or production, the transaction will be accounted for as a long-term contract. In all other cases, revenue will be recognized when the following four conditions are met:
| · | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists |
| · | Delivery has occurred |
| · | The Company’s price is fixed or determinable |
| · | Collectability of the selling price is probable |
REVENUE RECOGNITION – MONITIZATION OF PLATFORM APPLICATION
The multiple applications (“Apps”) purchased provide the Company’s subscribers with online marketing and analytics software. These Apps generate recurring subscription revenue on a monthly or annual basis. Deferred revenue arises due to the timing differences between funds received upon the signing of the Order Form and revenue earned over the one-year period.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of receivables, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, and accrued expenses for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. There is no income tax provision for the Company for the period from inception through December 31, 2022, as the Company had no taxable income.
The Company evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the unrecognized tax benefits accrual was zero.
The Company is a C Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and a similar section of the state code.

INCOME TAXES (continued)
All income tax amounts reflect the use of the liability method under accounting for income taxes. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes arising primarily from differences between financial and tax reporting purposes. Current year expense represents the amount of income taxes paid, payable or refundable for the period.
Deferred income taxes, net of appropriate valuation allowances, are determined using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid. Valuation allowances are recorded against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. When an uncertain tax position meets the more likely than not recognition threshold, the position is measured to determine the amount of benefit or expense to recognize in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s income tax returns from 2019 to 2021 are subject to review and examination by federal, state and local governmental authorities. As of December 31, 2022, there is no ongoing examination with federal, state and local governmental authorities. To the extent penalties and interest are incurred through an examination, they would be included in the income tax section of the consolidated statements of operations.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 changes the accounting for contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination by requiring an acquiring entity to measure contract assets and liabilities in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers and other similar contracts that are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 606, at fair value on the acquisition date. Initial fair value measurement for acquired revenue contracts in a business combination can be complex and require significant judgment. Moreover, diversity exists in current practice for determining the fair value of contract liabilities for certain revenue arrangements and stakeholders have raised questions about how to apply FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, to contracts with a customer acquired in a business combination. To address those issues, ASU 2021-08 requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with FASB ASC 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with FASB ASC 606 as if it had originated the contracts. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)
In February 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, that requires organizations that lease assets, referred to as "lessees", to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2019-02 will also require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will include qualitative and quantitative requirements. The new standard for nonpublic entities will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early application is permitted. The Company has no lease that is over 12 months term as of December 31, 2022. Management does not expect to have material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
