The acquisition included three subsidiaries: (i) Flewber, Inc.; (ii) Ponderosa Air LLC, which holds the Company’s FAA Part 135 Operating Certificate; and (iii) Vision FGAR 1 LLC, which was dissolved following the acquisition and had no active operations at the time of its dissolution.
The total purchase price was approximately $14.4 million, paid through the issuance of 1,056,140 shares of common stock, 9,475 shares of Series G Preferred Stock, forgiveness of $367,609 in intercompany receivables, and the issuance of 7,510,058 common stock purchase warrants.
The Company acquired Flyte as part of its strategy to identify businesses where operational efficiencies and data-driven processes can drive growth and margin expansion, and views the private aviation sector as an industry with strong underlying demand and infrastructure that can benefit from these capabilities.
On June 23, 2025, the Company sold a 10% ownership interest in Flewber, Inc., a subsidiary of Flyte, Inc., to an investor for $100,000. Proceeds from the sale were allocated to operating and marketing expenses for Flewber, Inc., which the Company intends to use as the operating entity for the Hops segment of its aviation business.
MineralRite Corporation
On May 6, 2025, the Company acquired 1% of equity in MineralRite Corporation in the form of 17,000,000 shares of its common stock. As consideration for this acquisition, MineralRite Corporation received 90,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Employees
As of August 14, 2025, we had 5 full-time employees. None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe our relationship with our employees to be good.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider and read carefully all of the risks and uncertainties described below, as well as other information contained in this prospectus, before making an investment decision with respect to our securities. The occurrence of any of the following risks or those incorporated by reference, or additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In any such case, the trading price of common stock and the trading price of Series A warrants, if any, could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements and estimates that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of specific factors, including the risks and uncertainties described below and those incorporated by reference.
Risks Related to our Business
The Company is a development stage business and subject to the many risks associated with new businesses.
Our current line of business has a limited operating history and our business is subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. Our likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with development and expansion of a new business enterprise. We have incurred losses and may continue to operate at a net loss for at least the next several years as we execute our business plan. We had a net loss of approximately $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit of approximately $11.2 million and approximately $252.8 million, respectively.
Our financial situation creates doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurances that we will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain funding or additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital and no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available, we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment.
Based on the report from our independent auditors dated June 24, 2025, management stated that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, were prepared assuming substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
We are not profitable and may never be profitable.
Since inception through the present, we have been dependent on raising capital to support our working capital needs. During this same period, we have recorded net accumulated losses and are yet to achieve profitability. Our ability to achieve profitability depends upon many factors, including our ability to develop and commercialize our websites. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve any significant revenues or profitable operations.
Our operating expenses exceed our revenues and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
We are in an early stage of our development and we have not generated sufficient revenues to offset our operating expenses. Our operating expenses will likely continue to exceed our operating income for the foreseeable future, until such time as we are able to monetize our brands and generate substantial revenues, particularly as we undertake payment of the increased costs of operating as a public company.
| 11 |
We have assumed a significant amount of debt and our operations may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our debt obligations, which could reduce our financial flexibility and adversely impact our operations.
Currently the Company has considerable obligations under notes, related party notes and lines of credit outstanding with various lenders. Our ability to make payments on such indebtedness will depend on our ability to generate cash flow. The Company may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to enable us to repay this indebtedness and to fund other liquidity needs, including capital expenditure requirements. Such indebtedness could affect our operations in several ways, including the following:
| ● | a significant portion of our cash flows could be required to be used to service such indebtedness; | |
| ● | a high level of debt could increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; | |
| ● | any covenants contained in the agreements governing such outstanding indebtedness could limit our ability to borrow additional funds, dispose of assets, pay dividends and make certain investments; | |
| ● | a high level of debt may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that are less leveraged and, therefore, our competitors may be able to take advantage of opportunities that our indebtedness may prevent us from pursuing; and | |
| ● | debt covenants to which we may agree may affect our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in the economy and in our industry. |
A high level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may default on our debt obligations. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to pay the principal or interest on our debt. If we cannot service or refinance our indebtedness, we may have to take actions such as selling significant assets, seeking additional equity financing (which will result in additional dilution to stockholders) or reducing or delaying capital expenditures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition. If we do not have sufficient funds and are otherwise unable to arrange financing, our assets may be foreclosed upon which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We will need additional capital, which may be difficult to raise as a result of our limited operating history or any number of other reasons.
We expect that we will need to raise additional capital within the next 12 months. However, in the event that we exceed our expected growth, we would need to raise additional capital. There is no assurance that additional equity or debt financing will be available to us when needed, on acceptable terms, or even at all. Our limited operating history makes investor evaluation and an estimation of our future performance substantially more difficult. As a result, investors may be unwilling to invest in us or such investment may be offered on terms or conditions that are not acceptable. In the event that we are not able to secure financing, we may have to scale back our growth plans or cease operations.
We face intense competition. If we do not services that are useful to users, we may not remain competitive, and our potential revenues and operating results could be adversely affected.
Our business is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive, and is subject to changing technologies, shifting user needs, and frequent introductions of new products and services. Our ability to compete successfully depends heavily on providing services that are useful and enjoyable for our users.
We face competition from other companies in all of our business segments. Our current and potential competitors range from large and established companies to emerging start-ups. Established companies have longer operating histories and more established relationships with customers and users, and they can use their experience and resources in ways that could affect our competitive position, including by making acquisitions, investing aggressively in research and development, aggressively initiating intellectual property claims (whether or not meritorious) and competing aggressively for users and customers. Emerging start-ups may be able to innovate and provide products and services faster than we can.
As technology continues to develop, our competitors may be able to offer user experiences that are, or that are seen to be, substantially similar to or better than, ours. This may force us to compete in different ways and expend significant resources in order to remain competitive. If our competitors are more successful than we are in in attracting and retaining users, customers, and advertisers, our revenues and operating results could be adversely affected.
| 12 |
If we fail to retain existing users or add new users, or if our users decrease their level of engagement with our products, our revenue, financial results, and business may be significantly harmed.
The size of our user base and our user’s level of engagement are critical to our success. Our financial performance will be significantly determined by our success in adding, retaining, and engaging active users of our products, particularly Vocal. We anticipate that our active user growth rate will generally decline over time as the size of our active user base increases, and it is possible that the size of our active user base may fluctuate or decline in one or more markets, particularly in markets where we have achieved higher penetration rates. If people do not perceive Vocal to be useful, reliable, and trustworthy, we may not be able to attract or retain users or otherwise maintain or increase the frequency and duration of their engagement. A number of other content management systems and publishing platforms that achieved early popularity have since seen their active user bases or levels of engagement decline, in some cases precipitously. There is no guarantee that we will not experience a similar erosion of our active user base or engagement levels. Our user engagement patterns have changed over time, and user engagement can be difficult to measure, particularly as we introduce new and different products and services. Any number of factors could potentially negatively affect user retention, growth, and engagement, including if:
| ● | Users increasingly engage with other competitive products or services; |
| ● | We fail to introduce new features, products or services that users find engaging or if we introduce new products or services, or make changes to existing products and services, that are not favorably received; |
| ● | User behavior on any of our products changes, including decreases in the quality and frequency of content shared on our products and services; |
| ● | There are decreases in user sentiment due to questions about the quality or usefulness of our products or our user data practices, or concerns related to privacy and sharing, safety, security, well-being, or other factors; |
| ● | We are unable to manage and prioritize information to ensure users are presented with content that is appropriate, interesting, useful, and relevant to them; |
| ● | We are unable to obtain or attract engaging third-party content; |
| ● | Users adopt new technologies where our products may be displaced in favor of other products or services, or may not be featured or otherwise available; |
| ● | There are changes mandated by legislation, regulatory authorities, or litigation that adversely affect our products or users; |
| ● | Technical or other problems prevent us from delivering our products in a rapid and reliable manner or otherwise affect the user experience, such as security breaches or failure to prevent or limit spam or similar content; |
| ● | We adopt terms, policies, or procedures related to areas such as sharing, content, user data, or advertising that are perceived negatively by our users or the general public; |
| ● | We elect to focus our product decisions on longer-term initiatives that do not prioritize near-term user growth and engagement; |
| ● | We make changes in how we promote different products and services across our family of apps; |
| ● | Initiatives designed to attract and retain users and engagement are unsuccessful or discontinued, whether as a result of actions by us, third parties, or otherwise; |
| ● | We fail to provide adequate customer service to users, marketers, developers, or other partners; |
| ● | We, developers whose products are integrated with our products, or other partners and companies in our industry are the subject of adverse media reports or other negative publicity, including as a result of our or their user data practices; or |
| ● | Our current or future products, such as our development tools and application programming interfaces that enable developers to build, grow, and monetize mobile and web applications, reduce user activity on our products by making it easier for our users to interact and share on third-party mobile and web applications. |
If we are unable to maintain or increase our user base and user engagement, our revenue and financial results may be adversely affected. Any decrease in user retention, growth, or engagement could render our products less attractive to users, marketers, and developers, which is likely to have a material and adverse impact on our revenue, business, financial condition, and results of operations. If our active user growth rate continues to slow, we will become increasingly dependent on our ability to maintain or increase levels of user engagement and monetization in order to drive revenue growth.
| 13 |
We face competition from traditional media companies, and we may not be included in the advertising budgets of large advertisers, which could harm our operating results.
In addition to internet companies, we face competition from companies that offer traditional media advertising opportunities. Most large advertisers have set advertising budgets, a very small portion of which is allocated to Internet advertising. We expect that large advertisers will continue to focus most of their advertising efforts on traditional media. If we fail to convince these companies to spend a portion of their advertising budgets with us, or if our existing advertisers reduce the amount they spend on our programs, our operating results would be harmed.
Acquisitions may disrupt growth.
We may pursue strategic acquisitions in the future. Risks in acquisition transactions include difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses into our operations and control environment, difficulties in assimilating and retaining employees and intermediaries, difficulties in retaining the existing clients of the acquired entities, assumed or unforeseen liabilities that arise in connection with the acquired businesses, the failure of counterparties to satisfy any obligations to indemnify us against liabilities arising from the acquired businesses, and unfavorable market conditions that could negatively impact our growth expectations for the acquired businesses. Fully integrating an acquired company or business into our operations may take a significant amount of time. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered with acquisitions and other strategic transactions. These risks may prevent us from realizing the expected benefits from acquisitions and could result in the failure to realize the full economic value of a strategic transaction or the impairment of goodwill and/or intangible assets recognized at the time of an acquisition. These risks could be heightened if we complete a large acquisition or multiple acquisitions within a short period of time.
Our business depends on strong brands and relationships, and if we are not able to maintain our relationships and enhance our brands, our ability to expand our base of users, advertisers and affiliates will be impaired and our business and operating results could be harmed.
Maintaining and enhancing our brands’ profiles may require us to make substantial investments and these investments may not be successful. If we fail to promote and maintain the brands’ profiles, or if we incur excessive expenses in this effort, our business and operating results could be harmed. We anticipate that, as our market becomes increasingly competitive, maintaining and enhancing our brands’ profiles may become increasingly difficult and expensive. Maintaining and enhancing our brands will depend largely on our ability to be a technology leader and to continue to provide attractive products and services, which we may not do successfully.
We depend on our key management personnel and the loss of their services could adversely affect our business.
We place substantial reliance upon the efforts and abilities of Jeremy Frommer, our Chief Executive Officer, and our other executive officers and directors. Though no individual is indispensable, the loss of the services of these executive officers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, revenues or prospects. We do not currently maintain key man life insurance on the lives of these individuals.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, the value of our brands and other intangible assets may be diminished, and our business may be adversely affected.
We rely and expect to continue to rely on a combination of confidentiality, assignment, and license agreements with our employees, consultants, and third parties with whom we have relationships, as well as trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret, and domain name protection laws, to protect our proprietary rights. In the United States and internationally, we have filed various applications for protection of certain aspects of our intellectual property, and we currently hold a number of registered trademarks and issued patents in multiple jurisdictions and have acquired patents and patent applications from third parties. Third parties may knowingly or unknowingly infringe our proprietary rights, third parties may challenge proprietary rights held by us, and pending and future trademark and patent applications may not be approved. In addition, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which we operate or intend to operate our business. In any or all of these cases, we may be required to expend significant time and expense in order to prevent infringement or to enforce our rights. Although we have generally taken measures to protect our proprietary rights, there can be no assurance that others will not offer products or concepts that are substantially similar to ours and compete with our business. In addition, we regularly contribute software source code under open source licenses and have made other technology we developed available under other open licenses, and we include open source software in our products. If the protection of our proprietary rights is inadequate to prevent unauthorized use or appropriation by third parties, the value of our brands and other intangible assets may be diminished and competitors may be able to more effectively mimic our products, services, and methods of operations. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.
| 14 |
We are subject to payment processing risk.
We accept payments using a variety of different payment methods, including credit and debit cards and direct debit. We rely on third parties to process payments. Acceptance and processing of these payment methods are subject to certain certifications, rules and regulations. To the extent there are disruptions in our or third-party payment processing systems, material changes in the payment ecosystem, failure to recertify and/or changes to rules or regulations concerning payment processing, we could be subject to fines and/or civil liability, or lose our ability to accept credit and debit card payments, which would harm our reputation and adversely impact our results of operations.
We are subject to risk as it relates to software that we license from third parties.
We license software from third parties, much of which is integral to our systems and our business. The licenses are generally terminable if we breach our obligations under the license agreements. If any of these relationships were terminated or if any of these parties were to cease doing business or cease to support the applications we currently utilize, we may be forced to spend significant time and money to replace the licensed software.
Failures or reduced accessibility of third-party software on which we rely could impair the availability of our platform and applications and adversely affect our business.
We license software from third parties for integration into our Vocal platform, including open source software. These licenses might not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. While we are not substantially dependent upon any third-party software, the loss of the right to use all or a significant portion of our third-party software required for the development, maintenance and delivery of our applications could result in delays in the provision of our applications until we develop or identify, obtain and integrate equivalent technology, which could harm our business.
Any errors or defects in the hardware or software we use could result in errors, interruptions, cyber incidents or a failure of our applications. Any significant interruption in the availability of all or a significant portion of such software could have an adverse impact on our business unless and until we can replace the functionality provided by these applications at a similar cost. Furthermore, this software may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The loss of the right to use all or a significant portion of this software could limit access to our platform and applications. Additionally, we rely upon third parties’ abilities to enhance their current applications, develop new applications on a timely and cost-effective basis and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes. We may be unable to effect changes to such third-party technologies, which may prevent us from rapidly responding to evolving customer requirements. We also may be unable to replace the functionality provided by the third-party software currently offered in conjunction with our applications in the event that such software becomes obsolete or incompatible with future versions of our platform and applications or is otherwise not adequately maintained or updated.

We need to manage growth in operations to maximize our potential growth and achieve our expected revenues and our failure to manage growth will cause a disruption of our operations, resulting in the failure to generate revenue.
In order to maximize potential growth in our current and potential markets, we believe that we must expand our marketing operations. This expansion will place a significant strain on our management and our operational, accounting, and information systems. We expect that we will need to continue to improve our financial controls, operating procedures, and management information systems. We will also need to effectively train, motivate, and manage our employees. Our failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.
In order to achieve the general strategies of our company we need to maintain and search for hard-working employees who have innovative initiatives, while at the same time, keep a close eye on any and all expanding opportunities in our marketplace.
We plan to generate a significant portion of our revenues from advertising and affiliate sales relationships, and a reduction in spending by or loss of advertisers and general decrease in online spending could adversely harm our business.
We plan to generate a substantial portion of our revenues from advertisers. Our advertisers may be able to terminate prospective contracts with us at any time. Advertisers will not continue to do business with us if their investment in advertising with us does not generate sales leads, and ultimately customers, or if we do not deliver their advertisements in an appropriate and effective manner. If we are unable to remain competitive and provide value to our advertisers, they may stop placing ads with us, which would adversely affect our revenues and business. In addition, expenditures by advertisers tend to be cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions and budgeting and buying patterns. Adverse macroeconomic conditions can also have a material negative impact on the demand for advertising and cause our advertisers to reduce the amounts they spend on advertising, which could adversely affect our revenues and business.
Security breaches could harm our business.
Security breaches have become more prevalent in the technology industry. We believe that we take reasonable steps to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of the information we collect, use, store and disclose, but there is no guarantee that inadvertent (e.g., software bugs or other technical malfunctions, employee error or malfeasance, or other factors) or unauthorized data access or use will not occur despite our efforts. Although we have not experienced any material security breaches to date, we may in the future experience attempts to disable our systems or to breach the security of our systems. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to personal information, confidential information and/or the systems on which such information are stored and/or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target. As a result, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.
If an actual or perceived security breach occurs, the market perception of our security measures could be harmed, and we could lose sales and customers and/or suffer other negative consequences to our business. A security breach could adversely affect the digital content experience and cause the loss or corruption of data, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Any failure to maintain the security of our infrastructure could result in loss of personal information and/or other confidential information, damage to our reputation and customer relationships, early termination of our contracts and other business losses, indemnification of our customers, financial penalties, litigation, regulatory investigations and other significant liabilities. In the event of a major third-party security incident, we may incur losses in excess of their insurance coverage.
Moreover, if a high-profile security breach occurs with respect to us or another digital entertainment company, our customers and potential customers may lose trust in the security of our business model generally, which could adversely impact our ability to retain existing customers or attract new ones.

The laws and regulations concerning data privacy and data security are continually evolving; our or our platform providers’ actual or perceived failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our business.
Customers view our content online, using third-party platforms and networks and on mobile devices. We collect and store significant amounts of information about our customers—both personally identifying and non-personally identifying information. We are subject to laws from a variety of jurisdictions regarding privacy and the protection of this player information. For example, the European Union (EU) has traditionally taken a broader view than the United States and certain other jurisdictions as to what is considered personal information and has imposed greater obligations under data privacy regulations. The U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) also regulates the collection, use and disclosure of personal information from children under 13 years of age. While none of our content is directed at children under 13 years of age, if COPPA were to apply to us, failure to comply with COPPA may increase our costs, subject us to expensive and distracting government investigations and could result in substantial fines.
Data privacy protection laws are rapidly changing and likely will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The U.S. government, including the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce, is continuing to review the need for greater regulation over the collection of personal information and information about consumer behavior on the Internet and on mobile devices and the EU has proposed reforms to its existing data protection legal framework. Various government and consumer agencies worldwide have also called for new regulation and changes in industry practices. In addition, in some cases, we are dependent upon our platform providers to solicit, collect and provide us with information regarding our players that is necessary for compliance with these various types of regulations.
Customer interaction with our content is subject to our privacy policy and terms of service. If we fail to comply with our posted privacy policy or terms of service or if we fail to comply with existing privacy-related or data protection laws and regulations, it could result in proceedings or litigation against us by governmental authorities or others, which could result in fines or judgments against us, damage our reputation, impact our financial condition and harm our business. If regulators, the media or consumers raise any concerns about our privacy and data protection or consumer protection practices, even if unfounded, this could also result in fines or judgments against us, damage our reputation, and negatively impact our financial condition and damage our business.
In the area of information security and data protection, many jurisdictions have passed laws requiring notification when there is a security breach for personal data or requiring the adoption of minimum information security standards that are often vaguely defined and difficult to implement. Our security measures and standards may not be sufficient to protect personal information and we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent security breaches. A security breach that compromises personal information could harm our reputation and result in a loss of confidence in our products and ultimately in a loss of customers, which could adversely affect our business and impact our financial condition. This could also subject us to liability under applicable security breach-related laws and regulations and could result in additional compliance costs, costs related to regulatory inquiries and investigations, and an inability to conduct our business.
Changes to federal, state or international laws or regulations applicable to our company could adversely affect our business.
Our business is subject to a variety of federal, state and international laws and regulations, including those with respect to privacy, data, and other laws. These laws and regulations, and the interpretation or application of these laws and regulations, could change. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting our business could be enacted. These laws and regulations are frequently costly to comply with and may divert a significant portion of management’s attention. If we fail to comply with these applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to significant liabilities which could adversely affect our business.

If any of our relationships with internet search websites terminate, if such websites’ methodologies are modified or if we are outbid by competitors, traffic to our websites could decline.
We depend in part on various internet search websites, such as Google.com, Bing.com, Yahoo.com and other websites to direct a significant amount of traffic to our websites. Search websites typically provide two types of search results, algorithmic and purchased listings. Algorithmic listings generally are determined and displayed as a result of a set of unpublished formulas designed by search engine companies in their discretion. Purchased listings generally are displayed if particular word searches are performed on a search engine. We rely on both algorithmic and purchased search results, as well as advertising on other internet websites, to direct a substantial share of visitors to our websites and to direct traffic to the advertiser customers we serve. If these internet search websites modify or terminate their relationship with us or we are outbid by our competitors for purchased listings, meaning that our competitors pay a higher price to be listed above us in a list of search results, traffic to our websites could decline. Such a decline in traffic could affect our ability to generate advertising revenue and could reduce the desirability of advertising on our websites.
Our business involves risks of liability claims arising from our media content, which could adversely affect our ability to generate revenue and could increase our operating expenses.
As a distributor of media content, we face potential liability for defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, obscenity, violation of rights of publicity and/or obscenity laws and other claims based on the nature and content of the materials distributed. These types of claims have been brought, sometimes successfully, against broadcasters, publishers, online services and other disseminators of media content. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of our insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, measures to reduce our exposure to liability in connection with content available through our internet websites could require us to take steps that would substantially limit the attractiveness of our internet websites and/or their availability in certain geographic areas, which could adversely affect our ability to generate revenue and could increase our operating expenses.
Intellectual property litigation could expose us to significant costs and liabilities and thus negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to claims of infringement of third-party patents and trademarks and other violations of third-party intellectual property rights. Intellectual property disputes are generally time-consuming and expensive to litigate or settle and the outcome of such disputes is uncertain and difficult to predict. The existence of such disputes may require us to set-aside substantial reserves and has the potential to significantly affect our overall financial standing. To the extent that claims against us are successful, they may subject us to substantial liability, and we may have to pay substantial monetary damages, change aspects of our business model, and/or discontinue any of our services or practices that are found to be in violation of another party’s rights. Such outcomes may severely restrict or hinder ongoing business operations and impact the value of our business. Successful claims against us could also result in us having to seek a license to continue our practices. Under such conditions, a license may or may not be offered or otherwise made available to us. If a license is made available to us, the cost of the license may significantly increase our operating burden and expenses, potentially resulting in a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Although we have been and are currently involved in multiple areas of commerce, internet services, and high technology where there is a substantial risk of future patent litigation, we have not obtained insurance for patent infringement losses. If we are unsuccessful at resolving pending and future patent litigation in a reasonable and affordable manner, it could disrupt our business and operations, including by negatively impacting areas of commerce or putting us at a competitive disadvantage.
If we are unable to obtain or maintain key website addresses, our ability to operate and grow our business may be impaired.
Our website addresses, or domain names, are critical to our business. We currently own more than 415 domain names. However, the regulation of domain names is subject to change, and it may be difficult for us to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that are similar to ours, that infringe our trademarks or that otherwise decrease the value of our brands. If we are unable to obtain or maintain key domain names for the various areas of our business, our ability to operate and grow our business may be impaired.
We may have difficulty scaling and adapting our existing network infrastructure to accommodate increased traffic and technology advances or changing business requirements, which could cause us to incur significant expenses and lead to the loss of users and advertisers.
To be successful, our network infrastructure has to perform well and be reliable. The greater the user traffic and the greater the complexity of our products and services, the more computer power we will need. We could incur substantial costs if we need to modify our websites or our infrastructure to adapt to technological changes. If we do not maintain our network infrastructure successfully, or if we experience inefficiencies and operational failures, the quality of our products and services and our users’ experience could decline. Maintaining an efficient and technologically advanced network infrastructure is particularly critical to our business because of the pictorial nature of the products and services provided on our websites. A decline in quality could damage our reputation and lead us to lose current and potential users and advertisers. Cost increases, loss of traffic or failure to accommodate new technologies or changing business requirements could harm our operating results and financial condition.

Operating a network open to all internet users may result in legal consequences.
Our Terms and Conditions clearly state that our network and services are only to be used by users who are over 13 years old. Although we will terminate accounts that are known to be held by persons age 13 or younger, it is impractical to independently verify that all activity occurring on our network fits into this description. As such, we run the risk of federal and state law enforcement prosecution.
We are exposed to the risk of a decrease in demand for private aviation services.
Historically, we have generally provided private aviation services to individuals and individual entities, on a per trip basis, and without use of membership-only program business models. During the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease in demand for private aviation services impacted our operations resulting in a 35% decrease in revenues compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. This decrease in revenue was primarily due to a substantial reduction in the number of repeat bookings by our returning customers as a result of a decline in the overall demand for private aviation services. We believe that this reduction may have been caused by reports and the perception of a weaker economy and a possible recession. A weaker economy or our customers’ perception of a weaker economy, in the future, could result in a further decrease in demand for services leading to future periods where we generate less revenue. If demand for private aviation services continues to decrease or fails to return to the level experienced prior to the year ended December 31, 2023, this could result in slower growth in our business which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Such changes could negatively impact our cash flows from operations, unexpectedly accelerate our liquidity needs and require us to seek alternate sources of capital, including debt financings, which may not be available or on acceptable terms.
In addition, our customers may consider private air travel through our products and services to be a luxury item, especially when compared to commercial air travel. As a result, any general downturn in economic, business and financial conditions which has an adverse effect on our customers’ spending habits could cause them to travel less frequently and, to the extent they travel, to travel using commercial air carriers or other means considered to be more economical than our products and services. In addition, in cases where sufficient hours of private flight are needed, many of the companies and high-net-worth individuals to whom we provide products and services have the financial ability to purchase their own jets or operate their own corporate flight department should they elect to do so. These circumstances also could negatively impact our cash flows from operations, unexpectedly accelerate our liquidity needs and require us to seek alternate sources of capital, including debt financings, which may not be available or on acceptable terms.
The private aviation industry is subject to competition.
Many of the markets in which we operate are competitive as a result of the expansion of existing private aircraft operators, expanding private aircraft ownership and alternatives, such as luxury commercial airline service. We compete against a number of private aviation operators with different business models, and local and regional private charter operators. Factors that affect competition in our industry include price, reliability, safety, regulations, professional reputation, aircraft availability, equipment and quality, consistency and ease of service, willingness and ability to serve specific airports or regions and investment requirements. There can be no assurance that our competitors will not be successful in capturing a share of our present or potential customer base. The materialization of any of these risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The supply of pilots to the airline industry is limited and may negatively affect our operations and financial condition, with respect to both pilots operating aircraft for third-party aircraft operators and pilots operating our aircraft. Increases in our labor costs, which constitute a substantial portion of our total operating costs, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Pilots who operate aircraft for third-party aircraft operators, as well as pilots who operate our current aircraft, or who will operate any aircraft we may acquire, in the future, are subject to stringent pilot qualification and crew member flight training standards (“FAA Qualification Standards”), which among other things require minimum flight time for pilots and mandate strict rules to minimize pilot fatigue. The existence of such requirements effectively limits the supply of qualified pilot candidates and increases pilot salaries and related labor costs. A shortage of pilots to operate our aircraft would require us to further increase our labor costs, or the increase in fees we may be required to pay to third-party aircraft operators, who may face higher costs for pilots, would result in a material reduction in our earnings and operating income. Such requirements also impact pilot scheduling, work hours and the number of pilots required to be employed for our operations.
In addition, our operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted if we are unable to train pilots in a timely manner to operate our aircraft. Due to an industry-wide shortage of qualified pilots, driven by the flight hours requirements under the FAA Qualification Standards and attrition resulting from the hiring needs of other industry participants, pilot training timelines have significantly increased and stressed the availability of flight simulators, instructors and related training equipment. As a result, the training of our pilots may not be accomplished in a cost-efficient manner or in a manner timely enough to support our operational needs.
On occasion we may rely on commercial airlines to fly our pilots to the departure location. Any disruption to such commercial airline activity may cause us to delay or cancel a flight and could adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operation and financial condition. See “— Aviation businesses are often affected by factors beyond their control, including air traffic congestion at airports, airport slot restrictions, air traffic control inefficiencies, increased and changing security measures, changing regulatory and governmental requirements, or new or changing travel-related taxes any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.”
| 19 |
Pilot attrition may negatively affect our operations and financial condition.
In recent years, we have experienced volatility in our attrition, including volatility resulting from pilot wage and bonus increases at other industry participants and the growth of cargo, low-cost and ultra-low-cost airlines. Third-party aircraft operators of private air flights booked through the Flewber App and Flewber Luxe, have also experienced this pilot attrition. In prior periods, these factors, at times, caused pilot attrition rates to be higher than the ability to engage and retain replacement pilots. If attrition rates are higher than the ability to engage and retain replacement pilots, our operations and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.
We may be subject to unionization, work stoppages, slowdowns or increased labor costs and the unionization of our pilots, maintenance workers and inflight crewmembers could result in increased labor costs.
Our business is labor intensive and while our employees and independent contractors, particularly our pilots and our maintenance workers, are not currently represented by labor unions, we may, in the future, experience union organizing activities of our pilots, maintenance workers or other crewmembers. Such union organization activities could lead to work slowdowns or stoppages, which could result in loss of business. In addition, union activity could result in demands that may increase our operating expenses and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and competitive position. Any of the different crafts or classes of our crewmembers could unionize at any time, which would require us to negotiate in good faith with the crew member group’s certified representative concerning a collective bargaining agreement. In addition, we may be subject to disruptions by unions protesting the non-union status of our other crewmembers. Any of these events would be disruptive to our operations and could harm our business.
The residual value of our owned aircraft may be less than estimated in our depreciation policies.
As of June 30, 2024, we had $3,457,190 of property and equipment and capitalized software, net of accumulated depreciation, of which $3,179,629 relates to our owned aircraft. As of December 31, 2023, we had $3,692,687 of property and equipment and capitalized software, net of accumulated depreciation, of which $3,426,774 relates to our owned aircraft. In accounting for these long-lived assets, we make estimates about the expected useful lives of the assets, the expected residual values of certain of these assets, and the potential for impairment based on the fair value of the assets and the cash flows they generate. Factors indicating potential impairment include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in the market value of the long-lived assets, a significant change in the condition of the long-lived assets and operating cash flow losses associated with the use of the long-lived assets. In the event the estimated residual value of any of our aircraft types is determined to be lower than the residual value assumptions used in our depreciation policies, the applicable aircraft type in our fleet may be impaired and may result in a material reduction in the book value of applicable aircraft types we operate or we may need to prospectively modify our depreciation policies. An impairment on any of the aircraft types we operate or an increased level of depreciation expense resulting from a change to our depreciation policies could result in a material negative impact to our financial results.
We may incur substantial maintenance costs as part of our leased aircraft return obligations.
In the future we may enter into aircraft lease agreements which may contain provisions that require us to return aircraft airframes and engines to the lessor in a specified condition or pay an amount to the lessor based on the actual return condition of the equipment. These lease return costs will be recorded in the period in which they are incurred. Any unexpected increase in maintenance return costs may negatively impact our financial position and results of operations.
We are exposed to operational disruptions due to maintenance.
Our fleet will require regular maintenance work, which may cause operational disruption. Our inability to perform timely maintenance and repairs can result in our aircraft being underutilized, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. On occasion, airframe manufacturers and/or regulatory authorities require mandatory or recommended modifications to be made across a particular fleet which may mean having to ground a particular type of aircraft. This may cause operational disruption to and impose significant costs on us. Furthermore, our operations in remote locations, where delivery of components and parts could take a significant period of time, could result in delays in our ability to maintain and repair our aircraft. We may often rely on commercial airlines to deliver such components and parts. Any such delays may pose a risk to our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “— Aviation businesses are often affected by factors beyond their control, including air traffic congestion at airports, airport slot restrictions, air traffic control inefficiencies, increased and changing security measures, changing regulatory and governmental requirements, new or changing travel-related taxes, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.” Moreover, as our aircraft base increases and our fleet ages, our maintenance costs could potentially increase.
| 20 |
Significant increases in fuel costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Fuel is essential to the operation of our aircraft and to our ability to carry out our transport services. Fuel costs are a key component of our operating expenses. A significant increase in fuel costs may negatively impact our revenue, operating expenses and results of operations, including operating income. However, increased fuel surcharges may affect our revenue and retention if a prolonged period of high fuel costs occurs. In addition, potential increased environmental regulations that might require new fuel sources (e.g., sustainable aviation fuel) could lead to increased costs. To the extent there is a significant increase in fuel costs that affects the amount our customers choose to fly with us, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, sustainable aviation fuel is not currently readily available at prices that are not prohibitive. In the future, when sustainable aviation fuel is more readily available, it may still cost substantially more than conventional aviation fuel for some time. To the extent that we are required to use sustainable aviation fuel for all or a portion of our flights in order to comply with applicable environmental or other regulations, we may not be able to fully pass along higher costs for such fuel to our customers and such higher costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We could also face a similar adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, in the event that third-party aircraft operators use higher cost sustainable aviation fuel and pass along such higher cost to us.
Our insurance may become too difficult or expensive to obtain. If we are unable to maintain sufficient insurance coverage, it may materially and adversely impact our results of operations and financial position.
Hazards are inherent in the aviation industry and may result in loss of life and property, potentially exposing us to substantial liability claims arising from the operation of aircraft. We carry insurance for aviation hull, aviation liability, premises, general liability, workers compensation, directors and officers, and other insurance customary in the industry in which we operate. Insurance underwriters are required by various federal and state regulations to maintain minimum levels of reserves for known and expected claims. However, there can be no assurance that underwriters have established adequate reserves to fund existing and future claims. The number of accidents, as well as the number of insured losses within the aviation and aerospace industries, and the impact of general economic conditions on underwriters may result in increases in premiums above the rate of inflation. To the extent that our existing insurance carriers are unable or unwilling to provide us with sufficient insurance coverage, and if insurance coverage is not available from another source (for example, a government entity), our insurance costs may increase and may result in our being in breach of regulatory requirements or contractual arrangements requiring that specific insurance be maintained, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Aviation businesses are often affected by factors beyond their control, including air traffic congestion at airports, airport slot restrictions, air traffic control inefficiencies, increased and changing security measures, changing regulatory and governmental requirements, or new or changing travel-related taxes, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Like other aviation companies, our business is affected by factors beyond our control, including air traffic congestion at airports, airport slot restrictions, air traffic control inefficiencies, increased and changing security measures, changing regulatory and governmental requirements, new or changing travel-related taxes. Factors that cause flight delays frustrate passengers and increase operating costs and decrease revenue, which in turn could adversely affect profitability. Any general reduction in flight volumes could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In the U.S., the federal government singularly controls all U.S. airspace, and aviation operators are completely dependent on the FAA to operate that airspace in a safe, efficient and affordable manner. The expansion of our business into international markets will result in a greater degree of interaction with the regulatory authorities of the foreign countries in which we may operate. The air traffic control system, which is operated by the FAA, faces challenges in managing the growing demand for U.S. air travel. U.S. and foreign air-traffic controllers often rely on outdated technologies that routinely overwhelm the system and compel aviation operators to fly inefficient, indirect routes resulting in delays and increased operational cost. In addition, there are currently proposals before Congress that could potentially lead to the privatization of the U.S. air traffic control system, which could adversely affect our business. Further, implementation of the Next Generation Air Transport System by the FAA would result in changes to aircraft routings and flight paths that could lead to increased noise complaints and lawsuits, resulting in increased costs. For a further explanation of the risks relating to future government regulations, including FAA regulations, see “We are subject to significant governmental regulation and changes in government regulations imposing additional requirements and restrictions on our operations could increase our operating costs and result in service delays and disruptions.”

The UAM market and the market for short-range flights, in general, is still in relatively early stages and there is, therefore, no basis for us to determine the market for the short-range flights we plan to provide on our suitable conventional aircraft to compete against aircraft operators in the UAM market, and, if the market for short-range flights does not develop, grows more slowly than we expect or fails to grow as large as we expect, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We believe that being able to provide air travelers with access to short-range flights on our suitable conventional aircraft similar to those provided on electric-powered eVTOLs and other aircraft using sustainable aviation fuel in the UAM market will provide us with an additional source of revenue that could be significant. That said, the UAM market is still relatively new, and it is uncertain to what extent market acceptance will continue to grow, if at all. Currently we do not have any operations similar to those to be provided in the UAM market. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on regulatory approval, as well as the willingness of air travelers to widely-adopt such short-range flights as an alternative to ground transportation. If the public does not perceive such short-range flights as beneficial, or has concerns regarding safety, affordability or for other reasons, then that aspect of the Flewber App may not develop, may develop more slowly than we expect or may not achieve the growth potential we expect, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Currently, there are only a minimal number of electric-powered eVTOLs and other aircraft using sustainable aviation fuel serving the UAM market on a by-the-seat air transportation basis. The number of potential air travelers for our short-range flights cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to operate in a profitable manner in any of our current or targeted future markets for such services once we have initiated the Flewber Hops on a commercial basis. It the event that this market does not develop or develops slower than we expect, this could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Extreme weather, natural disasters and other adverse events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, winter snowstorms or earthquakes, can cause flight cancellations or significant delays. Cancellations or delays due to adverse weather conditions or natural disasters, air traffic control problems or inefficiencies, breaches in security or other factors may affect us to a greater degree than our competitors who may be able to recover more quickly from these events, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition to a greater degree than other air carriers. Any general reduction in passenger traffic could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to risks associated with climate change, including the potential increased impacts of severe weather events on our operations and infrastructure.
All climate change-related regulatory activity and developments may adversely affect our business and financial results by requiring us to reduce our emissions, make capital investments to modernize certain aspects of our operations, purchase carbon offsets, or otherwise pay for our emissions. Such activity may also impact us indirectly by increasing our operating costs and adversely affecting our operating income.
The potential physical effects of climate change, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods, fires, fog, mist, freezing conditions, sea-level rise and other climate-related events, could affect our operations, infrastructure, and financial results. Operational impacts, such as the delay or cancellation of flights, could result in loss of revenue. In addition, certain of our terminals are in locations susceptible to the impacts of storm-related flooding and sea-level rise, which could result in costs and loss of revenue. We could incur significant costs to improve the climate resiliency of our infrastructure and otherwise prepare for, respond to, and mitigate such physical effects of climate change. We are not able to accurately predict the materiality of any potential losses or costs associated with the physical effects of climate change.

The operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, and failure to maintain an acceptable safety record may have an adverse impact on our ability to obtain and retain customers.
The operation of aircraft is subject to various risks, including catastrophic disasters, crashes, mechanical failures and collisions, which may result in loss of life, personal injury and/or damage to property and equipment. We may experience accidents in the future. These risks could endanger the safety of our customers, our personnel, third-parties, equipment, cargo and other property (both ours and that of third parties), as well as the environment. If any of these events were to occur, we could experience loss of revenue, termination of customer contracts, higher insurance rates, litigation, regulatory investigations and enforcement actions (including potential grounding of our fleet and suspension or revocation of our operating authorities) and damage to our reputation and customer relationships. In addition, to the extent an accident occurs with an aircraft we operate or charter, we could be held liable for resulting damages, which may involve claims from injured passengers and survivors of deceased passengers. There can be no assurance that the amount of our insurance coverage available in the event of such losses would be adequate to cover such losses, or that we would not be forced to bear substantial losses from such events, regardless of our insurance coverage. Moreover, any aircraft accident or incident, even if fully insured, and whether involving us or other private aircraft operators, could create a public perception that we are less safe or reliable than other private aircraft operators, which could cause our customers to lose confidence in us and switch to other private aircraft operators or other means of transportation. In addition, any aircraft accident or incident, whether involving us or other private aircraft operators, could also affect the public’s view of industry safety, which may reduce the amount of trust our customers have in us. We incur considerable costs to maintain the quality of (i) our safety program, (ii) our training programs and (iii) our fleet of aircraft. We cannot guarantee that these costs will not increase. Likewise, we cannot guarantee that our efforts will provide an adequate level of safety or an acceptable safety record. If we are unable to maintain an acceptable safety record, we may not be able to retain existing customers or attract new customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements related to the maintenance of our aircraft and associated operations may result in enforcement actions, including revocation or suspension of our operating authorities in the U.S. and potentially other countries.
Terrorist activities or warnings have dramatically impacted the aviation industry and will likely continue to do so.
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and their aftermath have negatively impacted the aviation business in general. If additional terrorist attacks are launched against the aviation industry, there will be lasting consequences of the attacks, which may include loss of life, property damage, increased security and insurance costs, increased concerns about future terrorist attacks, increased government regulation and airport delays due to heightened security. We cannot provide any assurance that these events will not harm the aviation industry generally or our operations or financial condition in particular.
Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third-Parties
We rely on our third-party aircraft operators to provide and operate aircraft to move our fliers. If such third-party aircraft operators do not perform adequately or terminate their relationships with us, our costs may increase and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
While our subsidiary, Ponderosa Air, prior to our acquiring it in 2019, provided nominal direct flight services, all of our business currently involves selling flights to our customers through other aircraft operators, which we contract with on an individual flight basis. Therefore, we rely on third-party aircraft operators to own and operate aircraft. Pilots, maintenance, hangar, insurance, and fuel are all costs borne by our network of third-party aircraft operators. Should we experience complications with any of these third-party aircraft operators or their aircraft, we may need to delay or cancel flights. We face the risk that any of our third-party aircraft operators may not fulfill their contracts and deliver their services on a timely basis, or at all. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, operational complications with our third-party aircraft operators. The ability of our third-party aircraft operators to effectively satisfy our requirements could also be impacted by any such third-party aircraft operators financial difficulty or damage to their operations caused by fire, terrorist attack, natural disaster, pandemic, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, or other events. The failure of any third-party aircraft operators to perform to our expectations could result in delayed or cancelled flights and harm our business. Our reliance on third-party aircraft operators and our inability to fully control any operational difficulties with our third-party aircraft operators could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
| 23 |
We may incur losses on the cancellation or delay of flights and on the booking of flights with third-party aircraft operators where customers cancel bookings and our payment terms provide for greater refunds to customers than we receive from those third-party aircraft operators.
Our third-party aircraft operators generally have the ability to cancel, delay or terminate any flight for any reason without liability or compensation to us. If any of our customers cancels its booking of a flight after we have secured a third-party aircraft operator at any time up to flight departure, we may be responsible for all or a portion of payments due to the third-party aircraft operator based on the third-party operator’s payment terms. Our cancellation terms with third-party aircraft operators may differ from our standard cancellation terms with our customers. If our standard payment terms include cancellation terms requiring us to refund more to the customer than the refund we receive from the third-party aircraft operator, upon that customer’s cancellation of a booking, we would incur a loss on such booking. In the event we experience a high number of these types of cancellations or delays by a third-party aircraft operator and/or cancellations by customers where we are required to refund to them more than the amount of any refunds we receive from the third-party aircraft operators, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See “Business — Booking Terms; Cancellations — Refund Policy.”
If we experience growth in demand for our services, our third-party aircraft operators may not be able to match our growth in demand, we may be unable to add additional third-party aircraft operators to our platform to meet future growth in demand or third-party aircraft operators do not perform adequately or terminate their relationships with us, our costs may increase and our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We operate a significant portion of the flights for our customers through the utilization of a finite number of certificated third-party aircraft operators. In the event potential competitors establish cooperative or strategic relationships with third-party aircraft operators in the markets we serve, offer to pay third-party aircraft operators more attractive rates or guarantee a higher volume of flights than we offer, we may not have access to the necessary number of aircraft to achieve our planned growth. Although we do not have any commitments, in writing or otherwise, with our third-party aircraft operators providing us with any assurances that we will have sufficient access to the aircraft we need to source flights for our customers, through our normal course of bookings with these third-party aircraft operators, we believe that they have been able to anticipate our needs for access to aircraft resulting in our being able to secure bookings, as needed. To date, we have not taken any actions to secure exclusive agreements with any third-party aircraft operators nor have we actively pursued any other means of mitigating the risks of being unable to secure our requirements from third-party aircraft operators. And while this has generally supported our growth in the past, there is no guarantee we will be able to continue securing these bookings on an as-needed basis or doing so without incurring substantial additional costs. Increased use of private aircraft since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has added competitive pressure for access to aircraft, which may make it more difficult or costly for third-party aircraft operators to expand to meet our needs. If our third-party aircraft operators are unable or unwilling to add aircraft, or are only able to do so at significantly increased expense, or otherwise do not have capacity or desire to support our growth, or we are unable to add new operators on reasonable terms, or at all, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. As the use of private aircraft continues to grow, we expect competition for third-party aircraft operators to increase. Further, we expect that as competition grows, the use of exclusive contractual arrangements with third-party aircraft operators, sometimes requiring volume guarantees, may increase, as may the cost of securing their services. If we are unable to secure our requirements from third-party aircraft operators or unable to satisfy such needs through the booking of flights on our own aircraft, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We face the risk that any of our third-party aircraft operators may not fulfill their contracts and deliver their services on a timely basis, or at all. The ability of our third-party aircraft operators to effectively satisfy our requirements could also be impacted by any such third-party aircraft operators’ financial difficulty or damage to their operations caused by fire, terrorist attack, natural disaster, pandemic, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, or other events. In addition, due to aircraft supply constraints across the industry, we may be required to pay more for capacity with our third-party aircraft operators to service customer or member flights. The failure of any third-party aircraft operators to perform to our expectations could result in delayed or cancelled flights or service credits, and harm the applicable portion of our business. Our reliance on third-party aircraft operators and our inability to fully control any operational difficulties or increased costs with our third-party aircraft operators could have a material adverse effect on the portion of our business where we use third-party aircraft operators, financial condition and results of operations.
| 24 |
In addition, due to our reliance on third parties to supplement our capabilities, we are subject to the risk of disruptions to their operations, which has in the past and may in the future result from many of the same risk factors disclosed in this “Risk Factors” section, such as the impact of adverse economic conditions and the inability of third parties to hire or retain skilled personnel, including pilots and mechanics. Several of these third-party aircraft operators provide significant capacity that we would be unable to replace in a short period of time should that operator fail to perform its obligations to us. Disruptions to capital markets, shortages of skilled personnel and adverse economic conditions in general, such as conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, have subjected certain of these third-party aircraft operators to significant financial and operational pressures, which have in the past and could result in future temporary or permanent cessation of their operations.
Union strikes or staff shortages among airport workers or certain pilots of third-party aircraft operators may result in disruptions of our operations and thus could have a material adverse effect on some of our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any significant disruption to our operations as a result of problems with any of our third-party aircraft operators would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, we have entered into agreements with contractors to provide various facilities and services required for our operations. Because we rely on others to provide such services, our ability to control the efficiency and timeliness of such services is limited. Similar agreements may be entered into in any new markets we decide to serve. We are also at risk should one of these service providers cease operations, and there is no guarantee that we could replace these providers on a timely basis with comparably priced providers, or at all. Any material problems with the efficiency and timeliness of contract services, resulting from financial hardships or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, in the event potential competitors establish cooperative or strategic relationships with third-party aircraft operators in the markets we serve, offer to pay third-party aircraft operators more attractive rates or guarantee a higher volume of flights than we have historically offered, we may not have access to the necessary number of aircraft to achieve our planned growth. If our third-party aircraft operators are unable or unwilling to support our growth, or we are unable to add new operators, some of our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. As the private aviation market grows, we expect competition for third-party aircraft operators to increase. Further, we expect that as competition in the private aviation market grows, the use of exclusive contractual arrangements with third-party aircraft operators, sometimes requiring volume guarantees and prepayments or deposits, may increase. This may require us to purchase or lease additional aircraft that may not be available or require us to incur significant capital or operating expenditures.
We may be negatively impacted by increases in third-party aircraft operator costs.
Recently there has been a trend of higher third-party aircraft operator costs. Since we currently rely on third-party aircraft operators to generate a substantial portion of our revenues, we have been and may continue to be negatively impacted by significant increases in third-party aircraft operator costs. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we were negatively impacted by increases in third-party aircraft costs, which we were unable to pass along to our customers, and which led to a decrease in our margins during the year ended December 31, 2022 when compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. To the extent that we continue to be unable to pass along these increase costs to our customers, this could impact our short-term and long term margins and profitability and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We could suffer losses and adverse publicity stemming from any accident involving our aircraft models operated by third parties.
Certain aircraft models that we operate have experienced accidents while operated by third parties. If other operators experience accidents with aircraft models that we operate, obligating us to take such aircraft out of service until the cause of the accident is determined and rectified, we might lose revenue and might lose customers. It is also possible that the FAA or other regulatory bodies in another country could ground the aircraft and restrict it from flying. In addition, safety issues experienced by a particular model of aircraft could result in customers refusing to use that particular aircraft model or a regulatory body grounding that particular aircraft model. The value of the aircraft model might also be permanently reduced in the secondary market if the model were to be considered less desirable for future service. Such accidents or safety issues related to aircraft models that we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
| 25 |
Our agreements with third-party aircraft operators may contain obligations for us to indemnify such third-party aircraft operators from and against claims and damages arising out of our agreements with them in connection with the operating of flights and any indemnification obligations of our customers to us may not sufficiently reimburse us with respect to our indemnification obligations.
Many of the agreements we have with third-party aircraft operators include indemnification obligations of us to those third-party aircraft operators similar to the following:
“The Charterer shall indemnify, keep indemnified and hold harmless the Carrier, its employees, agents, directors, officers, subcontractors and representatives for and against any and all liabilities, costs, losses, damages, claims, demands, suits and judgments and expenses whatsoever and howsoever arising wholly or partly out of or in connection with this Agreement and/or the operations of the aircraft under this Agreement, save to the extent directly attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Carrier, its employees, directors, subtractors or representatives.”
Our agreements with our customers include the following indemnification of our customers to us:
“Client agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Flewber Inc., together with, but not limited to, its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent corporations, successors or assigns, and any present or former officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, legal representatives or attorneys (the “indemnified parties”) from and against any and all actions, causes, claims, damages, losses, penalties, demands, obligations or liabilities, expenses or disbursements (including, without limitation, reasonable costs and attorney’s fees), asserted by any third party, arising out of or relating to this Agreement.”
Notwithstanding the fact that we require our customers to indemnify us for many of the claims and damages for which we are, in turn, required to indemnify third-party aircraft operators, there is no assurance that we will be able to collect from a customer in the event of any indemnification claim or that such customer will acknowledge its responsibility for any such claim or damages. If we are unable to collect a significant portion of any amounts owed to third-party aircraft operators from our customers, we may be required to initiate litigation against such customers, which could require our payment of legal and other fees and there is no assurance that we would be successful in connection with any such litigation. In any event, if we are unable to collect a significant amount of any indemnification claims against customers in order to satisfy the amounts we owe to third-party aircraft operators, this could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not have sufficient insurance coverage for damages relating to flights provided by third-party aircraft operators.
Incidents related to aircraft operation with respect to the portion of our business where we use third-party aircraft operators are normally covered by our third-party aircraft operators’ insurance. Our third-party aircraft operators are required to maintain insurance covering liability arising from the operation of their aircraft. However, there can be no assurance that the aircraft operator will have sufficient assets or insurance coverage to fulfill its obligations. Additionally, to the extent our third-party aircraft operators maintain insurance covering liability arising from the operation of their aircraft, we generally request to be named as an additional insured under the policy, although such request may not be honored all the time or at all. If we are not covered as an additional insured under the policy of any third-party aircraft operator and our insurance does not cover any applicable claims or damages relating to flights provided by such third-party aircraft, we may not be sufficiently insured. Any such failure to be sufficiently insured could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related To Our Common Stock
Risks Relating to our Common Stock and the Offering
Future sales or potential sales of our common stock in the public market could cause our share price to decline.
If the existing holders of our common stock, particularly our directors and officers, sell a large number of shares, they could adversely affect the market price for our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Because we will not pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, stockholders will only benefit from owning common stock if it appreciates.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings to finance our growth. Accordingly, any potential investor who anticipates the need for current dividends from his investment should not purchase our common stock.
Our share price has been, and will likely continue to be, volatile, and you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the price at which you acquired them.
The trading price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control.
| 26 |
The market price for our securities may be influenced by many factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:
| ● | variations in our revenue and operating expenses; |
| ● | market conditions in our industry and the economy as a whole; |
| ● | actual or expected changes in our growth rates or our competitors’ growth rates; |
| ● | developments or disputes concerning patent applications, issued patents or other proprietary rights; |
| ● | developments in the financial markets and worldwide or regional economies; |
| ● | variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us; |
| ● | announcements by the government relating to regulations that govern our industry; |
| ● | sales of our common stock or other securities by us or in the open market; |
| ● | changes in the market valuations of other comparable companies; |
| ● | general economic, industry and market conditions; and |
| ● | the other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section. |
The trading price of our shares might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry, even if these events do not directly affect us. Each of these factors, among others, could harm the value of your investment in our securities. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Because our shares of common stock are subject to the penny stock rules, it is more difficult to trade our shares.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.
| 27 |
The price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations.
Even though we have our shares quoted with The OTCPink, the market price of our Common Stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors and risks, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to the risks noted elsewhere in this Form S-1, some of the other factors affecting our stock price may include:
| ● | Variations in our operating results; |
| ● | The level and quality of securities analysts’ coverage of our Common Stock; |
| ● | Announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
| ● | Announcements by third parties of significant claims or proceedings against us; and |
| ● | Future sales of our Common Stock. |
For these reasons, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on past results as an indication of future performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a public company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against the public company. Regardless of its outcome, this type of litigation could result in substantial costs to us and a likely diversion of our management’s attention.
You may lose all of your investment.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. As an investor, you might never recoup all, or even part of, your investment and you may never realize any return on your investment. You must be prepared to lose all your investment.
We may, in the future, issue additional shares of common stock, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and dilute our share value
Our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Currently the Company has 450 shares of Preferred Series E stock outstanding, 2,283 shares of Preferred Series F stock outstanding, 14,124 shares of Preferred Series G stock outstanding, 3,798 shares of Preferred Series H stock outstanding, and 37,812 shares of Preferred Series I stock outstanding. Additionally, as of August 14, 2025, there are outstanding (i) warrants to purchase 34,186,378 shares of our common stock; (ii) options exercisable into 8,448,568 shares of our common stock; (iii) 16,308,839 shares underlying the conversion of the aforementioned outstanding preferred shares and (iv) 509,072 shares underlying the conversion of convertible notes.
Assuming all of the Company’s currently outstanding warrants and options are exercised and all convertible notes and preferred shares are converted, the Company would have to issue an additional 59,452,857 shares of common stock representing 500% of our current issued and outstanding common stock. The future issuance of this common stock would result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any Common Stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
Liability of directors for breach of duty is limited under Nevada law.
Nevada law provides that directors must discharge their duties as a director in good faith and with a view to the interests of the corporation. Under Nevada law, directors owe a fiduciary duty to the corporation, which is generally comprised of the duty of care and duty of loyalty to the corporation. Except under limited circumstances set forth in NRS 78.138(7), or unless our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or an amendment thereto provide for greater individual liability (which ours does not provide), a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that the director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer, and the breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Our stockholders’ ability to recover damages for fiduciary breaches may be reduced by this statute.
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and, as such, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. In addition, and any future loan arrangements we enter into may contain, terms prohibiting or limiting the amount of dividends that may be declared or paid on our common stock. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.
| 28 |
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by certain of our stockholders could cause our stock price to fall.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our common stock.
The issuance of a large number of shares of our common stock could significantly dilute existing stockholders and negatively impact the market price of our common stock.
If we sell shares of Common Stock under the Investment Agreement, we will be issuing such shares at below market prices, which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline, and if such issuances are significant in number, the amount of the decline in our market price could also be significant. In general, we are unlikely to sell shares of common stock under the Investment Agreement at a time when the additional dilution to stockholders would be substantial unless we are unable to obtain capital to meet our financial obligations from other sources on better terms at such time. However, if we do, the dilution that could result from such issuances could have a material adverse impact on existing stockholders and could cause the price of our common stock to fall rapidly based on the amount of such dilution.
The Selling Shareholder may sell a large number of shares, resulting in substantial diminution to the value of shares held by existing stockholders.
Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, we are prohibited from delivering a Put Notice to Coventry to the extent that the issuance of shares would cause the Selling Shareholder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of our then-outstanding shares of common stock; provided, however, the Selling Shareholder in its sole discretion can waive this ownership limitation up to 9.99% of our then-outstanding shares of common stock. These restrictions however, do not prevent the Selling Shareholder from selling shares of common stock received in connection with the equity line and then receiving additional shares of common stock in connection with a subsequent issuance. In this way, the Selling Shareholder could sell more than 4.99% (or 9.99% if 4.99% ownership limitation is waived) of the outstanding shares of common stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than 4.99% (or 9.99% if 4.99% ownership limitation is waived) at any one time. As a result, existing stockholders and new investors could experience substantial diminution in the value of their shares of common stock. Additionally, we do not have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales by the Selling Shareholder of the shares issued under the equity line.
We may issue additional shares of preferred stock in the future that may adversely impact your rights as holders of our common stock.
Pursuant to our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the aggregate number of shares of capital stock which we are authorized to issue is 1,520,000,000 shares, of which 1,500,000,000 shares are common stock, and 20,000,000 shares are “blank check” preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. As of the date of this filing, we do have 450 shares of Preferred Series E stock outstanding, 2,283 shares of Preferred Series F stock outstanding, 14,124 shares of Preferred Series G stock outstanding, 3,798 shares of Preferred Series H stock outstanding, and 37,812 shares of Preferred Series I stock outstanding.
The issuance of a series of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control. For example, it would be possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our Company. In addition, advanced notice is required prior to stockholder proposals, which might further delay a change of control. Additionally, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, your rights as holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of your ownership interests in us.
| 29 |
Each of our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain disputes which could limit stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers, employees or agents.
Each of our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada shall be the sole and exclusive forum for state law claims with respect to: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought in the name or right of the Company or on its behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach of any fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action arising or asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of Nevada Revised Statutes Chapters 78 or 92A or any provision of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, including, without limitation, any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws. This exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. However, each of our Second Amended Articles of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws contain a federal forum provision which provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company are deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. As this provision applies to Securities Act claims, there may be uncertainty whether a court would enforce such a provision.
These choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Company and its directors, officers and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find our choice of forum provisions contained in either our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm its business, results of operations, and financial condition.

USE OF PROCEEDS
All proceeds from the resale of the shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus will belong to the Selling Shareholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the shares of our Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders.
We will receive proceeds from any cash exercise of the Warrants. If all 547,987 of the Warrants registered herein are exercised on a cash basis, the Company would receive gross cash proceeds of $142,477, subject to adjustment upon certain events. We expect to use the proceeds from the exercise of such warrants, if any, for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include providing working capital, funding capital expenditures, or paying for acquisitions. We currently do not have any arrangements or agreements for any acquisitions. We cannot precisely estimate the allocation of the net proceeds from any exercise of the warrants for cash. Accordingly, in the event the Warrants are exercised for cash, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds of such exercises. There is no assurance that the Warrants will ever be exercised for cash.
| 31 |
MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICY
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCPink under the symbol “CRTD.” As of August 14, 2025, the last reported sale price of the common stock as reported on OTCPink was $0.33 per share.
As of August 14, there were approximately 271 registered holders of record of our Common Stock, approximately 5 holders of record of our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, approximately 2 holders of record of our Series F Convertible Preferred, approximately 32 holders of record of our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, approximately 8 holders of record of our Series H Preferred Stock, and approximately 5 holders of record of our Series I Convertible Preferred Stock. Since certain shares of our Common Stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, the foregoing number of holders of our Common Stock is not representative of the number of beneficial holders of our Common Stock.
To date, we have not paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not plan to pay such dividends in the foreseeable future. Our Board will determine our future dividend policy on the basis of many factors, including results of operations, capital requirements, and general business conditions. Dividends, under the Nevada Revised Statutes, may only be paid from our net profits or surplus. To date, we have not had a fiscal year with net profits and, subject to a valuation by the Board of the present value of the Company’s assets, do not have surplus.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those set forth in “Risk Factors.”
This prospectus and other reports filed by Creatd, Inc. (the “Company”), from time to time with the SEC and OTC Markets (collectively, the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks relating to the Company’s business, industry, and the Company’s operations and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.
We intend for this discussion to provide information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles affect our financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report that was filed with the OTC Markets on June 24, 2025.

Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | Increase / (Decrease) | ||||||||||
| Current Assets | $ | 1,228,740 | $ | 85,166 | $ | 1,143,574 | ||||||
| Current Liabilities | $ | 12,095,086 | $ | 11,287,764 | $ | 807,322 | ||||||
| Working Capital (Deficit) | $ | (10,866,346 | ) | $ | (11,202,598 | ) | $ | 336,252 | ||||
At June 30, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficit of $10,866,346 as compared to a working capital deficit of $11,202,598 at December 31, 2024, a decrease in working capital deficit of $336,252. The decrease is primarily attributable to an increase in cash due to an influx from the Company’s Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) from the IRS during the six months ended June 30, 2025 partially offset by an increase in notes payable.
| 34 |
Net Cash
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $288,101, as compared to $616,225 for the same period in 2024. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 was $3,512,156 and $9,759,328, respectively. The reduction in net cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to a reduction in research & development, general and administrative, and compensation expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $(254,456), attributable to the forgiveness of a note receivable to Flewber, Inc. upon the completion of the acquisition of that entity, offset by the sale of minority interest in Flewber, Inc. for proceeds of $100,000. Comparatively, net cash used investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $0.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $1,544,369 and $413,219, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company’s operations were predominantly financed by the proceeds from sale of common and preferred stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company’s operations were predominantly financed by proceeds from sale of common and preferred stock and proceeds from convertible notes.
Summary of Statements of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:
| Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||

Revenue
Revenue was $1,295,542 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $807,009 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $488,533 was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Flewber Global, Inc., partially offset by a decrease in Vocal for Brands revenue.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $596,845 as compared to $(12,625) for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company’s negative cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is attributable to a downward adjustment to the liability associated with unpaid balances in users’ Vocal Wallets. This adjustment was driven by a shift in user behavior and platform trends, including the frequency of welcome bonuses and a reduction of the number of challenges and challenge winners on Vocal, that materially impacted the estimated portion of wallet balances expected to be withdrawn. While the Company had previously adopted a weighted average methodology to estimate this liability based on historical payout activity, updated data revealed that a lower percentage of users were meeting the necessary thresholds to access their balances. This resulted in a lower liability estimate and corresponding negative cost of revenue during the period. The change reflects a revised estimate based on updated trends and was accounted for prospectively in accordance with applicable guidance. Without this adjustment, cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 would have been approximately $103,000. The additional increase in cost of revenue outside of this adjustment is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Flewber Global, Inc.
| 35 |
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025, were $5,916,285 as compared to $5,461,186 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of $455,099 is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Flewber Global, Inc., as well as a one-time consulting charge related to the application for and receipt of the Company’s ERC funds in the second quarter.
Loss from Operations
Loss from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $5,217,588 as compared to $4,641,552 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in loss from operations was primarily attributable to the decrease in gross margin and increase in operating expenses as the Company integrated the operations of Flewber Global, Inc. and began to seek out growth strategies and efficiencies.
Other Income/Expenses
Other income (expenses) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, were $1,705,432 as compared to $(5,117,776) for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is attributable to a decrease of other expenses such as accretion of debt discount and issuance costs, the elimination of inducement expense related to the trigger of price protection in warrants, and the receipt of the ERC from the IRS during the six months ended June 30, 2025, offset by a decrease in gain on change in derivative liability.
Net Loss
Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $5,044,959, or loss per share of $0.38, as compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $17,869,582, or loss per share of $8.25, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to the increase in other income, decrease in other expenses, as noted above and decrease in deemed dividend.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Significant Accounting Policies
We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.”
Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole 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.
| 36 |
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, income tax provisions, excess and obsolete inventory reserve, and impairment of intellectual property.
The Company also uses estimates in determining the liability associated with unpaid balances in user accounts (“Vocal Wallets”) on its platform. These balances represent amounts earned by users for content views, bonuses, and contest winnings. However, due to various platform-specific contingencies—such as minimum withdrawal thresholds, third-party processor access, and account compliance requirements—not all users will be able to withdraw their full balances. The Company applies a weighted average methodology based on historical payout rates to estimate the proportion of wallet balances likely to be paid out. This estimate is updated each reporting period to reflect new trends in user behavior and platform data. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, updated data supported a downward revision of the estimated liability in the amount of approximately $115,000, which was recognized as a change in estimate and accounted for prospectively, being recorded to cost of revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:
| ● | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| ● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs) |
| ● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including Company assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The Company’s Level 1 assets/liabilities include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, prepaid and other current assets, line of credit and due to related parties. Management believes the estimated fair value of these accounts at June 30, 2025 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments or the use of market interest rates for debt instruments.
The Company’s Level 3 assets/liabilities include goodwill, intangible assets, and derivative liabilities. Inputs to determine fair value are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Unobservable inputs used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities.
| 37 |
Long-lived Assets Including Acquired Intangible Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment, acquired finite-lived intangible assets, and purchased infinite life digital assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate from the use and eventual disposition.
Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company routinely reviews the remaining estimated useful lives of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. If the Company changes the estimated useful life assumption for any asset, the remaining unamortized balance is amortized or depreciated over the revised estimated useful life. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has $7,683,050 and $103,550, respectively, intangible assets on its consolidated balance sheets. The breakdown of these assets, net of amortization, was as follows:
| Asset Description | Amount | |||
| FAA Part 135 Operating Certificate | 1,526,267 | |||
| App | 142,557 | |||
| Trademark / Tradename | 1,382,333 | |||
| Licensing agreements / Vendor and supplier contracts | 414,700 | |||
| Knowhow | 2,094,847 | |||
| Customer list / Relationships | 2,122,346 | |||
| Total Intangible Assets | 7,683,050 | |||
A total of $7,824,367 in intangible assets was acquired as part of the acquisition of Flewber Global, Inc., which closed February 27, 2025. The breakdown of these assets was as follows:
| Asset Description | Amount | |||
| FAA Part 135 Operating Certificate | 1,526,267 | |||
| App | 126,100 | |||
| Trademark / Tradename | 1,430,000 | |||
| Licensing agreements / Vendor and supplier contracts | 429,000 | |||
| Knowhow | 2,131,000 | |||
| Customer list / Relationships | 2,182,000 | |||
| Total Acquired Intangible Assets | 7,824,367 | |||
See Note 10 - Acquisitions for further details on the acquisition of Flewber Global, Inc.
Amortization expense was $244,867 and $41,986 for the six months ended June 30 2025 and 2024, respectively.
| 38 |
Minority equity investments
Minority equity investments in private companies in which the Company holds a passive ownership interest and does not exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method in accordance with ASC 321. These investments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as long-term assets under Minority investment in business. The carrying value of such investments is initially recognized at cost and is assessed periodically for impairment or other indicators that the investment may no longer be recoverable. Fair value adjustments are not required unless observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment become available.
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASC Topic 350”). The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of the last day of the Company’s fiscal December each year or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below its carrying amount. The Company uses an income-based approach to determine the fair value of the reporting units. This approach uses a discounted cash flow methodology and the ability of our reporting units to generate cash flows as measures of fair value of our reporting units.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the Company has an asset of $8,073,026 and $5,415 of goodwill on its consolidated balance sheet, respectively, and recorded an impairment charge of $0 and $0 respectively.
Derivative Liability
The Company evaluates its debt and equity issuances to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB ASC. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion or exercise or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity. Upon extinguishment or cancellation of a derivative instrument, any difference between the fair value and the settlement amount is recognized as a gain or loss under change in derivative liability on the statement of operations.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model for the make whole feature in the Company’s outstanding Equity Line of Credit and for convertible notes that have an option to convert at a variable number of shares to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each balance sheet date. The inputs utilized in the application of the Monte Carlo model included a starting stock price, an expected term of each debenture remaining from the valuation date to maturity, an estimated volatility, drift, and a risk-free rate. The Company records the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
| 39 |
Revenue Recognition
Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:
| ● | identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
| ● | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | determination of the transaction price. The transaction price for any given subscriber could decrease based on any payments made to that subscriber. A subscriber may be eligible for payment through one or more of the monetization features offered to Vocal creators, including earnings through reads (on a cost per mille basis) and cash prizes offered to Challenge winners; |
| ● | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| ● | recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. |
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of billings and payments from clients in advance of revenue recognition. The Company has two types of deferred revenue, subscription revenue whereas the revenue is recognized over the subscription period and contract liabilities where the performance obligation was not satisfied. The Company will recognize the deferred revenue within the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had deferred revenue of $427,987 and $146,950, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes a compensation expense for all equity-based payments granted in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation”. Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity-based compensation over the requisite service period of the award. The company has a relatively low forfeiture rate of stock-based compensation and forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Restricted stock awards are granted at the discretion of the Company. These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and generally vest over the requisite service periods.
The fair value of an option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the development of assumptions that are inputs into the model. These assumptions are the value of the underlying share, the expected stock volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock and forfeitures are recognized as they occur.. Expected volatility is derived from the Company’s historical data over the expected option life and other appropriate factors. Risk-free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk-free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be zero as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its Common stock and does not intend to pay dividends on its Common stock in the foreseeable future. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
| 40 |
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of equity-based payment awards requires the input of the subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, our equity-based compensation could be materially different in the future. The Company issues awards of equity instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock units, to employees and certain non-employee directors. Compensation expense related to these awards is based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the award date and is amortized over the service period, defined as the vesting period. The vesting period is generally one to three years. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock units. Compensation expense is reduced for actual forfeitures as they occur.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
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 (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The update also requires disclosure regarding the CODM and expands the interim segment disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This ASU amends the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and also improves and amends the related EPS guidance for both Subtopics. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances income tax disclosure requirements by:
| ● | Standardizing and disaggregating rate reconciliation categories. |
| ● | Requiring disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. |
This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its income tax disclosures and reporting requirements.

BUSINESS
Creatd operates a diversified portfolio of businesses generating revenue across media, publishing, and aviation. Our operations include direct-to-consumer product sales, subscription memberships, advertising, licensing, and strategic investments. These businesses are supported by a shared operational infrastructure and a focus on monetizing first-party data, intellectual property, and scalable creative assets.
Corporate History and Information
The Company was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 30, 1999, under the name LILM, Inc. The Company changed its name on December 3, 2013, to Great Plains Holdings, Inc. (“GTPH”) as part of its plan to diversify its business.
On February 5, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), GTPH, GPH Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of GTPH (“Merger Sub”), and Jerrick Ventures, Inc., a privately-held Nevada corporation headquartered in New Jersey (“Jerrick”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into Jerrick, with Jerrick surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GTPH (the “Merger”). GTPH acquired, pursuant to the Merger, all of the outstanding capital stock of Jerrick in exchange for issuing Jerrick’s shareholders (the “Jerrick Shareholders”), pro-rata, a total of 950 shares of GTPH’s common stock. In connection therewith, GTPH acquired 33,415 shares of Jerrick’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Jerrick Series A Preferred”) and 8,064 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Jerrick Series B Preferred”).
In connection with the Merger, on the Closing Date, GTPH and Kent Campbell entered into a Spin-Off Agreement (the “Spin-Off Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Campbell purchased from GTPH (i) all of GTPH’s interest in Ashland Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and (ii) all of GTPH’s interest in Lil Marc, Inc., a Utah corporation, in exchange for the cancellation of 79 shares of GTPH’s Common Stock held by Mr. Campbell. In addition, Mr. Campbell assumed all debts, obligations and liabilities of GTPH, including any existing prior to the Merger, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Spin-Off Agreement.
Upon closing of the Merger on February 5, 2016, the Company changed its business plan to that of Jerrick.
Effective February 28, 2016, GTPH entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Statutory Merger Agreement”) with Jerrick, pursuant to which GTPH became the parent company of Jerrick Ventures, LLC, a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Jerrick (the “Statutory Merger”) and GTPH changed its name to Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. to better reflect its new business strategy.
On June 26, 2017, the Company filed to form Abacus Pty Ltd, an Australian-based entity, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
On July 25, 2019, we filed a certificate of amendment to our articles of incorporation, as amended (the “Amendment”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effectuate a one-for-twenty (1:20) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of our common stock without any change to its par value. The Amendment became effective on July 30, 2019. The number of shares of authorized common stock was proportionately reduced as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares of authorized preferred stock was not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split as all fractional shares were “rounded up” to the next whole share.
| 42 |
On September 11, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Seller’s Choice, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Seller’s Choice”). Seller’s Choice is digital e-commerce agency based in New Jersey. On March 3, 2022, the Company settled the Seller’s Choice Note for a cash payment of $799,000.
On July 13, 2020, upon approval from our board of directors and stockholders, we filed Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada for the purpose of increasing our authorized shares of Common Stock to 100,000,000.
On August 13, 2020, we filed a certificate of amendment to our second amended and restated articles of incorporation (the “Amendment”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effectuate a one-for-three (1:3) reverse stock split (the “August 2020 Reverse Stock Split”) of our common stock without any change to its par value. The Amendment became effective on August 17, 2020. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the August 2020 Reverse Stock Split as all fractional shares were rounded down to the next whole share.

Director Terms; Qualifications
Members of our board of directors serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors have been duly elected.
When considering whether directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to enable the board of directors to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure, the board of directors focuses primarily on the industry and transactional experience, and other background, in addition to any unique skills or attributes associated with a director.
Director or Officer Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
There are no material proceedings to which any director or officer, or any associate of any such director or officer, is a party that is adverse to our Company or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to our Company or any of our subsidiaries. No director or executive officer has been a director or executive officer of any business which has filed a bankruptcy petition or had a bankruptcy petition filed against it during the past ten years. No director or executive officer has been convicted of a criminal offense or is the subject of a pending criminal proceeding during the past ten years. No director or executive officer has been the subject of any order, judgment or decree of any court permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities during the past ten years. No director or officer has been found by a court to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law during the past ten years.
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance
The Company has directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring its directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, subject to certain exclusions. Such insurance also insures the Company against losses, which it may incur in indemnifying its officers and directors. In addition, officers and directors also have indemnification rights under applicable laws, and the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws.
Director Independence
The listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) require that independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the rules of Nasdaq require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation, and nominating and governance committees be independent. Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with it that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, the board of directors has determined that Peter Majar is “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock by each non-employee director, and any transactions involving them described in the section captioned “—Certain relationships and related transactions and director independence.”

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The selling security holders identified in this prospectus may offer and sell:
| 3,016,187 Shares of our Common Stock to be purchased by the various investors pursuant to the Investment Agreements, registered for resale herein, and would represent approximately 25.4% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of August 14, 2025; |
The selling security holders identified in the table below may from time to time offer and sell under this prospectus any or all of the shares of common stock described under the column “Shares to be Offered” in the table below.
The Investors will be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any profits realized by the selling shareholders may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.
We cannot give an estimate as to the number of shares of common stock that will actually be held by the selling shareholders upon termination of this offering, because the selling security holders may offer some or all of the common stock being registered on its behalf under the offering contemplated by this prospectus or acquire additional shares of common stock. The total number of shares that may be sold hereunder will not exceed the number of shares offered hereby. Please read the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.
The following table sets forth the name of the selling shareholders, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such stockholder before this offering, the number of shares to be offered for such stockholders’ account and the number and (if one percent or more) the percentage of the class to be beneficially owned by such stockholders after completion of the offering. The number of shares owned are those beneficially owned, as determined under the rules of the SEC, and such information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares of our common stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided, through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through conversion of any security or pursuant to the automatic termination of a power of attorney or revocation of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, and such shares are deemed to be beneficially owned and outstanding for computing the share ownership and percentage of the person holding such options, warrants or other rights, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Beneficial ownership percentages are calculated based on 11,892,820 shares of our common stock outstanding as of August 14, 2025 and including the issuance of such shares to be purchased.
Unless otherwise set forth below, (a) the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite the selling shareholder’s name, subject to community property laws, where applicable, and (b) no selling shareholder had any position, office or other material relationship within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates. The number of shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned before the offering is based on information furnished to us or otherwise based on information available to us at the timing of the filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and convertible debentures currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days, are counted as outstanding. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the convertible debentures is subject to adjustment depending on, among other factors, the future market price of our common stock, and could be materially less or more than the number estimated in the table. |

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description of the Company’s capital stock and provisions of its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws are summaries and are qualified by reference to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws.
Description of Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 1,520,000,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 1,500,000,000 are shares of common stock and 20,000,000 are shares of “blank check” preferred stock. On January 26, 2023, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of common shares that the Company is authorized to issue to 1.5 billion.
As of August 14, 2025, there were 11,892,920 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and there were 450 shares of Preferred Series E Stock outstanding, 2,283 shares of Preferred Series F stock outstanding, 14,124 shares of Preferred Series G stock outstanding, 3,798 shares of Preferred Series H stock outstanding, and 37,812 shares of Preferred Series I stock outstanding.
The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. In addition, the holders of the Company’s common stock will be entitled to receive dividends ratably, if any, declared by the Company’s board of directors out of legally available funds; however, the current policy of the board of directors is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution. The holders of the Company’s common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the Company’s common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, which may be designated solely by action of the board of directors and issued in the future.
The Common Stock is quoted on the OTCPink marketplace operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. under the trading symbol “CRTD.”
The Company’s transfer agent is Pacific Stock Transfer Company.
Description of Common Stock Purchase Warrants
Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our Common Stock at a price equal to $2,250 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth below, at any time until at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 15, 2025.
The material provisions of the Warrants are set forth herein and a copy of the Warrant Agent Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the Annual Report for year ended December 31, 2020, on Form 10-K (the “Warrant Agent Agreement”). The Company and the Warrant Agent (as defined in the Warrant Agent Agreement”) may amend or supplement the Warrant Agent Agreement without the consent of any holder for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained therein or adding or changing any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Warrant Agent Agreement as the parties thereto may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties determine, in good faith, shall not adversely affect the interest of the holders. All other amendments and supplements shall require the vote or written consent of holders of at least 50.1%. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend on or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.
| 59 |
The Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Warrant Agent, with the exercise form attached to the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of Warrants being exercised. The Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
No Warrants will be exercisable unless at the time of the exercise a prospectus or prospectus relating to Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is current and the Common Stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the Warrants. Under the terms of the Warrant Agent Agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts to maintain a current prospectus or prospectus relating to Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the expiration of the Warrants. If we are unable to maintain the qualification or effectiveness of such registration statement until the expiration of the Warrants, and therefore are unable to deliver registered shares of Common Stock, the Warrants may become worthless. Additionally, the market for the Warrants may be limited if the prospectus or prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not current or if the Common Stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of such warrants reside. In no event will the registered holders of a Warrant be entitled to receive a net-cash settlement, stock or other consideration in lieu of physical settlement in shares of our Common Stock.
No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder. If multiple Warrants are exercised by the holder at the same time, we will aggregate the number of whole shares issuable upon exercise of all the Warrants.
The Warrants are quoted on the OTCPink marketplace operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. under the trading symbol “CRTDW”. The Company’s transfer agent is Pacific Stock Transfer Company.
Applicable Anti-Takeover Law
Set forth below is a summary of provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws that could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. The following description is only a summary and it is qualified by refence our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and relevant provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
No Cumulative Voting
Our Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws do not provide holders of our common stock cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The absence of cumulative voting could have the effect of preventing stockholders holding a minority of our shares of common stock from obtaining representation on our board of directors. The absence of cumulative voting might also, under certain circumstances, render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest favored by a majority of our stockholders, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our stock or the removal of incumbent management.
| 60 |
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the Common Shares to permit the resale of those Common Shares under the Securities Act from time to time after the date of this Prospectus at the discretion of the holders of such Common Shares. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the Common Shares. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the Common Shares.
Each selling shareholder and any of its pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of its Common Shares on the OTCPink, or any other stock exchange, market, quotation service or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions, provided that all applicable laws are satisfied. The selling shareholders may also sell its Common Shares directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents. If the Common Shares are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholder will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The Common Shares may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. A selling shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; | |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; | |
| ● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; | |
| ● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; | |
| ● | privately negotiated transactions; | |
| ● | settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part; | |
| ● | broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; | |
| ● | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; | |
| ● | a combination of any such methods of sale; and | |
| ● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling shareholders may also sell shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this Prospectus.
If the selling shareholders effect such transactions by selling Common Shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from the selling shareholder or commissions from purchasers of the Common Shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions, or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). Broker-dealers engaged by any selling shareholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with sales of Common Shares or interests therein, the selling shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Shares in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling shareholder may also sell Common Shares short and deliver Common Shares covered by this Prospectus to close out its short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling shareholder may also loan or pledge Common Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such Common Shares. The selling shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Common Shares offered by this Prospectus, which Common Shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
| 61 |
The selling shareholder is deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Common Shares will be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer or agent and any profit on the resale of any Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the Common Shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the aggregate amount of Common Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions, and other terms constituting compensation from the selling shareholder and any discounts, commissions, or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.
The investors have informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Shares.
Because the selling shareholder is deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including Rule 172 thereunder. Once this registration statement becomes effective, we intend to file the final prospectus with the SEC in accordance with SEC Rules 172 and 424. Provided we are not the subject of any SEC stop orders and we are not subject to any cease and desist proceedings, the obligation to deliver a final prospectus to a purchaser will be deemed to have been met.
There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling shareholder.
Under the securities laws of some states, the Common Shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Common Shares may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state, or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the Common Shares registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the Common Shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Shares for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling shareholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of Common Shares by the selling shareholder or any other person. All of the foregoing provisions may affect the marketability of the Common Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Common Shares.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the Common Shares, estimated to be approximately $15,157 in total, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees, expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws, and legal and accounting fees; provided, however, that a selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling shareholder against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with applicable registration rights agreements, if any, or the selling shareholder will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling shareholder against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling shareholder specifically for use in this Prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.
| 62 |
We agreed to keep this Prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Common Shares may be resold by the selling shareholder without registration and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 or (ii) all of the Common Shares have been sold pursuant to this Prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.
Once sold under the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part, the Common Shares will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Lucosky Brookman LLP. Lucosky Brookman LLP, and certain members of Lucosky Brookman LLP will own 388,889 shares of our Common Stock.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, or any other interim period or for any other future year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report filed with the OTC. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole 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.
F-8
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, stock-based compensation, income tax provisions, and impairment of intangible assets.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of consolidation
The Company consolidates all majority-owned subsidiaries in which the parent’s power to control exists.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities are as follows:
| Company Ownership Interest | ||||||||||
| Name of combined affiliate | State or other jurisdiction of incorporation or organization | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:
| ● | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments | |
| ● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs) | |
| ● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including Company assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The Company’s Level 1 assets/liabilities include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and prepaid and other current assets. Management believes the estimated fair value of these accounts at June 30, 2025 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments or the use of market interest rates for debt instruments.
The Company does not currently hold any Level 2 assets/liabilities.
The Company’s Level 3 assets/liabilities include goodwill, intangible assets, marketable debt securities, and equity investments at cost. Inputs to determine fair value are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Unobservable inputs used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities.

Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
F-10
At times, cash balances may exceed the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or Financial Claims Scheme (“FCS”) insurable limits. The Company has never
experienced any losses related to these balances. The uninsured cash balance as of June 30, 2025, was $
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
The Company provides credit in the normal course of business. The Company maintains allowances for credit losses on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.
The Company operates in Australia and holds total
assets of $
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
| Estimated Useful Life (Years) | ||
| Computer equipment and software | ||
| Furniture and fixtures | ||
| Leasehold improvements* | ||
| Automobile |
| * | Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the remaining term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement. |
Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASC Topic 350”). The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of the last day of the Company’s fiscal December each year or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below its carrying amount. The Company uses an income-based approach to determine the fair value of the reporting units. This approach uses a discounted cash flow methodology and the ability of the reporting units to generate cash flows as measures of fair value of the reporting units.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the
goodwill of the Company increased from $
F-11
Impairment of Long-lived Assets Including Acquired Intangible Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of property
and equipment, acquired finite-lived intangible assets, and purchased infinite life digital assets for possible impairment whenever events
or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level
for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets
is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate from the
use and eventual disposition. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded $
Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized
on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company routinely reviews the remaining estimated useful lives
of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. If the Company changes the estimated useful life assumption for any asset,
the remaining unamortized balance is amortized or depreciated over the revised estimated useful life. As of June 30, 2025 and December
31, 2024, the Company has $
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the condensed consolidated balance sheet dates. Results of operations and cash flows are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the periods. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of assets and liabilities is included as a component of stockholders’ deficit in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, which are included in operating expenses, have not been significant in any period presented.
Derivative Liability
The Company evaluates its debt and equity issuances to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB ASC. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion or exercise or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity. Upon extinguishment or cancellation of a derivative instrument, any difference between the fair value and the settlement amount is recognized as a gain or loss under change in derivative liability on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
F-12
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the condensed consolidated balance sheet dates.
The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB ASC (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model for the make whole feature in the Company’s outstanding Equity Line of Credit and for convertible notes that have an option to convert at a variable number of shares to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each consolidated balance sheet date. The inputs utilized in the application of the Monte Carlo model included a starting stock price, an expected term of each debenture remaining from the valuation date to maturity, an estimated volatility, drift, and a risk-free rate. The Company records the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company classifies freight billed to customers as sales revenue and the related freight costs as cost of revenue.
Revenue Recognition
Under ASC Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| ● | identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
| ● | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | determination of the transaction price. The transaction price for any given subscriber could decrease based on any payments made to that subscriber. A subscriber may be eligible for payment through one or more of the monetization features offered to Vocal creators, including earnings through reads (on a cost per mile basis) and cash prizes offered to Challenge winners; |
| ● | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| ● | recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
Revenue disaggregated by revenue source for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 consists of the following:

Agency Revenue
Managed Services
The Company provides Studio/Agency Service offerings
to business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) product and service brands which encompasses a full range of digital marketing
and e-commerce solutions. The Company’s services include the setup and ongoing management of clients’ websites, Amazon and
Shopify storefronts and listings, social media pages, search engine marketing, and other various tools and sales channels utilized by
e-commerce sellers for sales and growth optimization. Contracts are broken into three categories: Partners, Monthly Services, and Projects.
Contract amounts for Partner and Monthly Services clients range from approximately $
Branded Content
Branded content represents the revenue recognized from the Company’s obligation to create and publish branded articles and/or branded challenges for clients on the Vocal platform and promote said stories, tracking engagement for the client. In the case of branded articles, the performance obligation is satisfied when the Company successfully publishes the articles on its platform and meets any required promotional milestones as per the contract. In the case of branded challenges, the performance obligation is satisfied when the Company successfully closes the challenge and winners have been announced. The Company utilizes the completed contract method when revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed and any required milestones are met. Certain contracts contain separate milestones whereas the Company separates its performance obligations and utilizes the stand-alone selling price method and residual method to determine the estimate of the allocation of the transaction price.
Below are the significant components of a typical agreement pertaining to branded content revenue:
| ● | The
Company collects fixed fees ranging from $ |
| ● | Branded articles are created and published, and challenges are completed, within three months of the signed agreement, or as previously negotiated with the client. |
| ● | Branded articles and challenges are promoted per the contract and engagement reports are provided to the client. |

The transaction price for any given subscriber could decrease based on any payments made to that subscriber. A subscriber may be eligible for payment through one or more of the monetization features offered to Vocal creators, including earnings through reads (on a cost per mille basis) and cash prizes offered to Challenge winners. Potential revenue offset is calculated by reviewing a subscriber’s earnings in conjunction with payments made by the subscriber on a monthly and/or annual basis.
Air Mobility Revenue
Flewber Global, Inc., acquired by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and operating under the brand name of Flyte, generates revenue through three primary private aviation services: Flyte Hops, Flyte Luxe, and Jet Card Memberships.
Flyte Hops refers to short-haul private flights operated directly by Flyte under its Part 135 certificate. These flights are conducted on Flyte-managed aircraft and typically service high-demand regional routes throughout the New York Metro Area, Long Island, New England and the Eastern seaboard, to any destination within 400 nautical miles of Flyte’s base in Farmingdale, New York. Revenue is recognized upon completion of each flight segment and includes base charter rates, repositioning fees, and ancillary charges. Customer payments received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue until the related flight is completed.
Flyte Luxe is Flyte’s brokerage division, offering clients access to on-demand charters through a vetted network of third-party operators. In these transactions, Flyte acts as an agent and earns revenue on a net basis through booking fees or a markup over the wholesale cost. Revenue is recognized when the flight occurs. Deposits or prepayments made prior to flight are deferred until service is rendered.
Jet Card Memberships allow clients to prepay for charter credit in U.S. dollars, which can be applied to both Flyte Hops and Flyte Luxe flights. Members benefit from preferred booking access, flexible terms, and loyalty-based perks. Flyte retains full discretion over flight pricing, and credit may be applied across both operated and brokered flights. Revenue is recognized as credit is drawn down for completed charters. Any unused credit at period-end is recorded as deferred revenue.
Discounts, promotions, and any flight credits issued are treated as reductions to gross revenue. Refunds or pricing adjustments are reflected in the period in which they occur.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of billings and payments received from clients in advance of revenue recognition. The Company has two types of deferred revenue: (i) subscription revenue, where revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period, and (ii) contract liabilities, where revenue is recognized when the related performance obligation is satisfied.
For subscription revenue, the Company expects to recognize the deferred revenue within the next twelve months, over the life of the subscription. For contract liabilities, the Company will recognize the deferred revenue at the point in time the related service is performed, which can vary depending on the nature of the contract but is generally expected to occur within one year.
F-15
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the
Company had deferred revenue of $
Accounts Receivable and Allowances
Accounts receivable are recorded and carried when the Company has performed the work in accordance with managed services, project, partner, consulting and branded content agreements. For example, the Company bills a branded content client and records the receivable once milestones are reached that are set in the agreement. The Company makes estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for unbilled receivables based upon its assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from customers.
The Company adheres to the provisions of ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which requires the measurement of credit losses based on an expected loss model, known as the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) model. The CECL model replaces the incurred loss methodology and requires the Company to estimate credit losses over the life of its receivables, considering historical data, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and
2024, the Company recorded $
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based payments granted in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based compensation over the requisite service period of the award. The Company has a relatively low forfeiture rate of stock-based compensation and forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Restricted stock awards are granted at the discretion of the Company. These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and generally vest over the requisite service periods.
The fair value of an option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes option valuation model requires the development of assumptions that are inputs into the model. These assumptions are the value of the underlying share, the expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Expected volatility is derived from the Company’s historical data over the expected option life and other appropriate factors. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be as the Company has never paid or declared any cash dividends on its Common stock and does not intend to pay dividends on its Common stock in the foreseeable future. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and
calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards requires the input of the subjective assumptions described above. The
assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, which
involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses
different assumptions, our equity–based compensation could be materially different in the future. The Company issues awards of equity
instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock units, to employees and certain non-employee directors. Compensation expense related
to these awards is based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the award date and is amortized over the service period, defined
as the vesting period. The vesting period is generally
F-16
Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The Company had the following common stock equivalents at June 30, 2025 and 2024:
| June 30, | ||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The update also requires disclosure regarding the CODM and expands the interim segment disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This ASU amends the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and also improves and amends the related EPS guidance for both Subtopics. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances income tax disclosure requirements by:
| ● | Standardizing and disaggregating rate reconciliation categories. |
| ● | Requiring disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. |
This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and may be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its income tax disclosures and reporting requirements.
Note 3 – Going Concern
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial
statements as of June 30, 2025 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $
The Company is attempting to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues; however, its cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering of its debt or equity securities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so on reasonable terms, or at all. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Note 10 – Acquisitions
Acquisition of Flewber Global, Inc.
On February 27, 2025, Creatd, Inc. (“Creatd” or the “Company”) completed the acquisition of Flewber Global, Inc. (“Flewber”), a private on-demand aviation company. Upon closing, Flewber was renamed Flyte, Inc. and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Flewber Global, Inc. had three subsidiaries included in the acquisition: (i) Flewber, Inc.; (ii) Ponderosa Air LLC, which holds the Company’s FAA Part 135 Operating Certificate; and (iii) Vision FGAR 1 LLC, which was dissolved after the acquisition but prior to June 30, 2025. At the time of its dissolution, this entity had no active operations. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting.
The Company acquired Flyte as part of its strategy to identify businesses where operational efficiencies and data-driven processes can drive growth and margin expansion. Management viewed Flyte and the private aviation sector as an industry with strong underlying demand and infrastructure that could benefit from the Company’s expertise in implementing scalable systems and optimizing operations.
The Company has not yet finalized the accounting for the acquisition of Flewber Global, Inc. The purchase price allocation presented above is preliminary and subject to revision as the Company completes its valuation and assessment of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including, but not limited to, the finalization of third-party valuations of certain tangible and intangible assets, the review of working capital balances, and the evaluation of tax-related matters. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation for a period of up to one year from the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date which, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. Any such adjustments will be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is primarily attributable to expected synergies, assembled workforce, and other intangible benefits that do not qualify for separate recognition under ASC 805. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
The identifiable intangible assets acquired in the transaction consist of the FAA Part 135 Operating Certificate, developed technology (app), customer relationships, know-how, licensing agreements/vendor & supplier contracts, and trademark/tradename. The fair values of these intangible assets were determined in accordance with the guidance in ASC 805 and valuation best practices.
The FAA Part 135 Operating Certificate and developed technology (app) were valued using the Cost Approach, which estimates the cost to reproduce or replace the asset with one of equal utility, including applicable overhead and profit margins where appropriate. This method was considered appropriate given the lack of direct revenue generation by these assets and the ability to reliably estimate replacement costs.
The remaining intangible assets—customer relationships, know-how, licensing agreements/vendor & supplier contracts, and the trademark/tradename—were valued using the Income Approach. Specifically, the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (MPEEM) was applied to customer relationships and know-how, and the Relief-from-Royalty Method was applied to the trademark/tradename. These methods are based on projected cash flows attributable to the respective intangible assets, discounted at rates reflective of the risk profile of each asset. Where applicable, tax amortization benefits (TAB) were included in the fair value determinations.
The FAA Part 135 Operating Certificate was determined
to have an indefinite useful life. The developed technology (app) is being amortized over an estimated useful life of

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Creatd, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Creatd, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3, the Company has recurring net losses and negative cash flow from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole 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.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, income tax provisions, excess and obsolete inventory reserve, and impairment of intellectual property.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of consolidation
The Company consolidates all majority-owned subsidiaries, if any, in which the parent’s power to control exists.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries and/or entities are as follows:
| Company Ownership Interest | ||||||
| Name of combined affiliate | State or other jurisdiction of incorporation or organization | December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||
| Jerrick Ventures LLC | ||||||
| Abacus Tech Pty Ltd | ||||||
| CEOBloc, LLC | ||||||
| OG Collection, Inc. | ||||||
| Vocal, Inc. | ||||||
| S96 NYC, LLC | ||||||
All other previously consolidated subsidiaries have been dissolved or sold.
All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
F-52
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value measurement disclosures are grouped into three levels based on valuation factors:
| ● | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| ● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments and market corroborated inputs) |
| ● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including Company assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The Company’s Level 1 assets/liabilities include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, prepaid and other current assets, line of credit and due to related parties. Management believes the estimated fair value of these accounts at December 31, 2024 and 2023 approximate their carrying value as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets due to the short-term nature of these instruments or the use of market interest rates for debt instruments.
The Company’s Level 2 assets/liabilities include certain of the Company’s notes payable. Their carrying value approximates their fair values based upon a comparison of the interest rate and terms of such debt given the level of risk to the rates and terms of similar debt currently available to the Company in the marketplace.
The Company’s Level 3 assets/liabilities include goodwill, intangible assets, marketable debt securities, equity investments at cost, and derivative liabilities. Inputs to determine fair value are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. Unobservable inputs used in the models are significant to the fair values of the assets and liabilities.
Other accounting policies
In May 2021, the FASB issued authoritative guidance
intended to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified
written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. (ASU 2021-04), Derivatives and Hedging Contracts
in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815). This guidance’s amendments provide measurement, recognition, and disclosure guidance
for an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity
classified after modification or exchange. The updated guidance became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. During
the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized a deemed dividend of $
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU-2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, and any other financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash. The ASU requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses rather than incurred losses for financial assets. On October 16, 2019, FASB approved a final ASU delaying the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for small reporting companies to interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This ASU amends the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity, and also improves and amends the related EPS guidance for both Subtopics. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 805), which aims to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in recognition and payment terms that affect subsequent revenue recognition. ASU 2021-08 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within that fiscal year. There was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this ASU.

Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and ASC Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASC Topic 350”). The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of the last day of the Company’s fiscal December each year or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below its carrying amount. The Company uses an income-based approach to determine the fair value of the reporting units. This approach uses a discounted cash flow methodology and the ability of our reporting units to generate cash flows as measures of fair value of our reporting units.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the goodwill

F-56
Impairment of Long-lived Assets Including Acquired Intangible Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of property
and equipment, acquired finite-lived intangible assets and, purchased infinite life digital assets for possible impairment whenever events
or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The evaluation is performed at the lowest level
for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of these assets
is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate from the
use and eventual disposition. Digital assets accounted for as intangible assets are subject to impairment losses if the fair value of
digital assets decreases other than temporarily below the carrying value. The fair value is measured using the quoted price of the crypto
asset at the time its fair value is being measured. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of property and equipment and intangible
assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023,
the Company recorded an impairment charge of and $
Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company routinely reviews the remaining estimated useful lives of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. If the Company changes the estimated useful life assumption for any asset, the remaining unamortized balance is amortized or depreciated over the revised estimated useful life.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the consolidated balance sheet dates. Results of operations and cash flows are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the periods. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of assets and liabilities is included as a component of stockholders’ deficit in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, which are included in operating expenses, have not been significant in any period presented.
F-57
Derivative Liability
The Company evaluates its debt and equity issuances to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 815-10-05-4 and Section 815-40-25 of the FASB ASC. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as either an asset or a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as other income or expense. Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of conversion or exercise or cancellation and then the related fair value is reclassified to equity. Upon extinguishment or cancellation of a derivative instrument, any difference between the fair value and the settlement amount is recognized as a gain or loss under change in derivative liability on the statement of operations.
In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months of the consolidated balance sheet dates.
The Company adopted Section 815-40-15 of the FASB ASC (“Section 815-40-15”) to determine whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to the Company’s own stock. Section 815-40-15 provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions.
The Company utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation model for the make whole feature in the Company’s outstanding Equity Line of Credit and for convertible notes that have an option to convert at a variable number of shares to compute the fair value of the derivative and to mark to market the fair value of the derivative at each consolidated balance sheet date. The inputs utilized in the application of the Monte Carlo model included a starting stock price, an expected term of each debenture remaining from the valuation date to maturity, an estimated volatility, drift, and a risk-free rate. The Company records the change in the fair value of the derivative as other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company classifies freight billed to customers as sales revenue and the related freight costs as cost of revenue.
Revenue Recognition
Under ASC Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| ● | identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; |
| ● | identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | determination of the transaction price. The transaction price for any given subscriber could decrease based on any payments made to that subscriber. A subscriber may be eligible for payment through one or more of the monetization features offered to Vocal creators, including earnings through reads (on a cost per mile basis) and cash prizes offered to Challenge winners; |
| ● | allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| ● | recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |

Managed Services
The Company provides Studio/Agency Service offerings
to business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) product and service brands which encompasses a full range of digital marketing
and e-commerce solutions. The Company’s services include the setup and ongoing management of clients’ websites, Amazon and
Shopify storefronts and listings, social media pages, search engine marketing, and other various tools and sales channels utilized by
e-commerce sellers for sales and growth optimization. Contracts are broken into three categories: Partners, Monthly Services, and Projects.
Contract amounts for Partner and Monthly Services clients range from approximately $
Branded Content
Branded content represents the revenue recognized from the Company’s obligation to create and publish branded articles and/or branded challenges for clients on the Vocal platform and promote said stories, tracking engagement for the client. In the case of branded articles, the performance obligation is satisfied when the Company successfully publishes the articles on its platform and meets any required promotional milestones as per the contract. In the case of branded challenges, the performance obligation is satisfied when the Company successfully closes the challenge and winners have been announced. The Company utilizes the completed contract method when revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed and any required milestones are met. Certain contracts contain separate milestones whereas the Company separates its performance obligations and utilizes the stand-alone selling price method and residual method to determine the estimate of the allocation of the transaction price.
Below are the significant components of a typical agreement pertaining to branded content revenue:
| ● | The
Company collects fixed fees ranging from $ |
| ● | Branded articles are created and published, and challenges are completed, within three months of the signed agreement, or as previously negotiated with the client. |
| ● | Branded articles and challenges are promoted per the contract and engagement reports are provided to the client. |

Platform Revenue
Creator Subscriptions
Vocal+ is a premium subscription offering for Vocal creators. In addition to joining for free, Vocal creators now have the option to sign up for a Vocal+ membership for either $9.99 monthly or $99 annually, though these amounts are subject to promotional discounts and free trials. Vocal+ subscribers receive access to value-added features such as increased rate of cost per mille (thousand) (“CPM”) monetization, a decreased minimum withdrawal threshold, a discount on platform processing fees, member badges for their profiles, access to exclusive Vocal+ Challenges, and early access to new Vocal features. Subscription revenues stem from both monthly and annual subscriptions, the latter of which is amortized over a twelve-month period. Any customer payments received are recognized over the subscription period, with any payments received in advance being deferred until they are earned. Any discounts are run as coupon codes applied at the time of transaction and accounted for as a reduction in gross revenue.
The transaction price for any given subscriber could decrease based on any payments made to that subscriber. A subscriber may be eligible for payment through one or more of the monetization features offered to Vocal creators, including earnings through reads (on a cost per mille basis) and cash prizes offered to Challenge winners. Potential revenue offset is calculated by reviewing a subscriber’s earnings in conjunction with payments made by the subscriber on a monthly and/or annual basis.
Affiliate Sales Revenue
Affiliate sales represents the commission the Company receives from views or sales of its multimedia assets. Affiliate revenue is earned on a “click through” basis, upon visitors viewing or purchasing the relevant video, book, or other media asset and completing a specific conversion. The revenue is recognized upon receipt as reliable estimates could not be made.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of billings and payments
from clients in advance of revenue recognition. The Company has two types of deferred revenue, subscription revenue whereas the revenue
is recognized over the subscription period and contract liabilities where the performance obligation was not satisfied. The Company will
recognize the deferred revenue within the next twelve months. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had deferred revenue of $146,951
and $
Accounts Receivable and Allowances
Accounts receivable are recorded and carried when the Company has performed the work in accordance with managed services, project, partner, consulting and branded content agreements. For example, the Company bills a branded content client and records the receivable once milestones are reached that are set in the agreement. The Company makes estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for unbilled receivables based upon its assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from customers.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which requires the measurement of credit losses based on an expected loss model, known as the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) model. The CECL model replaces the incurred loss methodology and requires the Company to estimate credit losses over the life of its receivables, considering historical data, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all equity–based payments granted in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. Under fair value recognition provisions, the Company recognizes equity–based compensation over the requisite service period of the award. The Company has a relatively low forfeiture rate of stock-based compensation and forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Restricted stock awards are granted at the discretion of the Company. These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and generally vest over the requisite service periods.
The fair value of an option award is estimated
on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes option valuation model requires the
development of assumptions that are inputs into the model. These assumptions are the value of the underlying share, the expected stock
volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the dividend yield on the underlying stock and forfeitures
are recognized as they occur. Expected volatility is derived from the Company’s historical data over the expected option life and
other appropriate factors. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the
appropriate term. The dividend yield is assumed to be
Determining the appropriate fair value model and
calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards requires the input of the subjective assumptions described above. The
assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, which
involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses
different assumptions, our equity–based compensation could be materially different in the future. The Company issues awards of equity
instruments, such as stock options and restricted stock units, to employees and certain non-employee directors. Compensation expense related
to these awards is based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the award date and is amortized over the service period, defined
as the vesting period. The vesting period is generally
Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The Company had the following common stock equivalents at December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
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 (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The update also requires disclosure regarding the CODM and expands the interim segment disclosure requirements.

Note 12 – Discontinued Operations
During the fiscal year ended 2023, Creatd, Inc. disposed of a series of five subsidiaries: WHE Agency, Plant Camp, Dune, Denver Bodega, and Brave. Denver Bodega and Brave were acquired by another, non-affiliated entity and Plant Camp, WHE Agency, and Dune ceased operations, all due to a strategic shift in the Company to focus on its flagship product, Vocal. Due to these and other circumstances surrounding the disposal, Management believes the disposal of the five subsidiaries may be classified as discontinued operations on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of the end of the financial year, the results from these subsidiaries are presented separately on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as discontinued operations.

Income Tax Provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations
A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate and the effective income tax rate as a percentage of income before income taxes is as follows:
| For the Year Ended December 31, 2024 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 | |||||||
| Federal statutory income tax rate | % | % | ||||||
| State tax rate, net of federal benefit | % | % | ||||||
| Change in valuation allowance on net operating loss carry-forwards | ( | )% | ( | )% | ||||
| Effective income tax rate | % | % | ||||||
Based on the available objective evidence, management
believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets of the Company will not be fully realizable for the years ended December
31, 2024 and 2023. Accordingly, management applied a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024
and 2023. The valuation allowance for 2024 was $(

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
The Act reduces the federal corporate income tax rate from
On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to provide guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that begins in the reporting period that includes the Act’s enactment date and ends when an entity has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information that was needed in order to complete the accounting requirements under ASC 720. However, in no circumstance should the measurement period extend beyond one year from the enactment date. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect in its financial statements the income tax effects of those aspects of the Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. SAB 118 provides that to the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete, but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company does not reflect a deferred tax asset in its consolidated financial statements but includes that calculation and valuation in its footnotes. We are still analyzing the impact of certain provisions of the Act and refining our calculations. The Company will disclose any change in the estimates as it refines the accounting for the impact of the Act.
Federal and state tax laws impose limitations on the utilization of net operating losses and credit carryforwards in the event of an ownership change for tax purposes, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to utilize these carryforwards may be limited as a result of an ownership change which may have already happened or may happen in the future. Such an ownership change could result in a limitation in the use of the net operating losses in future years and possibly a reduction of the net operating losses available.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Each of our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors and officers. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we will indemnify any person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent will not, without more, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The Company may by action of its Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Company with the same scope and effects as the indemnification provisions for officers and directors.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers, directors or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that is it is the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings.
| (a) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
| (1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective registration statement: |
| (i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
| (ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
| (iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement; |
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-1 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
| (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| (4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
| (i) | Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and | |
| (ii) | Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
II-9
| (5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
| (i) | any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| (ii) | any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
| (iii) | the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and | |
| (iv) | any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
| (b) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (c) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act (“Act”) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act. |
| (d) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that: |
| (i) | For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(I) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and |
| (ii) | For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
