The Company accounts for cash and cash equivalents under FASB ASC 305, Cash and Cash Equivalents, and considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $12,517 and $6,308, respectively. There are no amounts that are uninsured by the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation).

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, due to cumulative losses, we recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset that reduced our income tax benefit for the period to zero. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes and the carrying value of our deferred tax asset was zero.

The Company accounts for income taxes applying FASB ASC 740, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

All items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon level 3 inputs. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the financial statements.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with various accounting standards.

ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” provides that instruments convertible predominantly at a fixed rate resulting in a fixed monetary amount due upon conversion with a variable quantity of shares (“stock settled debt”) be recorded as a liability at the fixed monetary amount.

ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument.”

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the instrument is not a stock settled debt and the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the share transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred shares.

ASC 815-40 provides that generally if an event is not within the entity’s control and could require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which contain, predominantly, fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. This results in a fair value of the convertible note being equal to a fixed monetary amount. The Company records the convertible note liability as stock settled debt in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and measures the convertible note at its fixed monetary amount, which is the result of the share price discount at the time of conversion, and records the put premium, as applicable, on the note date with a charge to interest expense.

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of derivatives with the sale of a convertible notes in 2024 and 2023. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company records the derivatives at their fair values as of the inception date of the debt agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. The carrying value assigned to the host instrument will be the difference between the previous carrying value of the host instrument and the fair value of the derivatives. There is an offsetting debt discount or premium as a result of the fair value assigned to the derivatives, as well as any debt issuance costs, which are amortized under the straight-line method over the term of the loan. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. If the fair value of the derivatives was higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives was lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded non-operating, non-cash income.

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration transferred are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the expected life of the asset. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from business combinations and are expensed as incurred. The Company remeasures fair value as of each reporting date and changes resulting from events after the acquisition date, are recognized as follows: 1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or 2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in fair value and accretion costs are recognized in earnings.

For annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) made effective ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. Revenue is now recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. The objective of the guidance is to establish the principles that an entity shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer. The principle is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. Two options were made available for implementation of the standard: the full retrospective approach or modified retrospective approach. The guidance became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted.

The Company generates revenue from (1) Recruiting as a Service (“Raas”), and (2) Direct Placement.

Recruiting as a Service:

RaaS allows the Company’s customers to outsource the management of their recruiting process allowing the Company to use the Application to assist its customers hiring needs by strategically gearing the service to reach the customer’s objectives. Revenue from RaaS consists of monthly billing to the customer for services provided.

RaaS service contracts with customers are month-to-month for a fixed price. Revenues are recognized on a gross basis when each monthly subscription service is completed.

Direct Placement

The Company generates direct placement revenue by earning one-time fees for each time an employer hires one of the candidates that the Company refers. The Company sources qualified candidate referrals for the employers’ available jobs through the use of the Company’s Application. Upon the employer hiring one or more of the Company’s candidate referrals, the Company earns the direct placement fee, which consists of an amount agreed upon between the Company and its customers. The fee is a percentage of the referred candidates’ first year’s base salary.

Direct placement revenues are recognized on a gross basis on the date of hire of the candidate placed with an employer, as it is more than probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur. This fee is only charged to the employer. Any payments received prior to the hire date are recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. Payments for recruitment services are typically due within 30 days of completion of services.

Direct placement revenue is subject to a 90-180 day guarantee that the candidate will not resign or be terminated in that time period. The Company uses historical evidence as well as additional factors to determine and estimate the amount of consideration received that the Company does not expect to be entitled to. For any amounts received for which the Company does not expect to be entitled, it would not recognize revenue when the candidate is hired but would recognize those amounts received as a refund liability. The Company included in the transaction price the estimated amount of variable consideration per the expected value method. A refund liability would be credited for the difference between cash consideration received and variable consideration recognized. The refund liability would be updated at the end of each reporting period for any changes in circumstances. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 there was no refund liability on the consolidated balance sheets as historically no direct placement revenue has been refunded to the Company.

For six months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023, revenues can be categorized into the following:

Cost of revenue consist of employee costs, third party staffing costs, hosting service fees, and other fees, outsourced recruiter fees and commissions.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risks consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are held in United States financial institutions. At times such amounts may exceed federally insured limits.

We account for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” using the fair value based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the shorter of the service period or the vesting period of the stock-based compensation. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of stock-based compensation at the grant date under this model requires judgment, including estimating volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeiture rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment.

We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

Commencing with the second quarter of 2022, the Company prospectively changed its accounting treatment for securities that contain predominantly, fixed rate conversion features by recording the derivative feature as a put premium on stock settled debt. See Note 7 for further discussion. The company believes this change in accounting principle is preferable as it applies a more consistent method of accounting for convertible notes that contain similar conversion features.
