NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Background
Eva
Live Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 27, 2002, as International Pit
Boss Gaming, Inc. On October 1, 2002, the Company merged with Pro Roads Systems, Inc. (a Florida corporation), a public shell company
traded on the pink sheets. Pro Roads Systems, Inc. had no operations before the merger. The purpose of the merger was to change the Company’s
domicile from Florida to Nevada. From its inception to 2006, the Company designed and developed software for the gaming industry. The
Company changed its name on February 14, 2006, to Logo Industries Corporation and, on November 18, 2008, to Malwin Ventures Inc. On February
11, 2014, the Company announced negotiations with Impact Future Media LLC, and their President/Founder, Francois Garcia, acquired
The Company’s year-end is December 31.
The table below represents EvaMedia’s Goodwill recorded based on management’s preliminary assessment of the Acquisition Date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
The Company’s Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2021:

| Cash | $ | |||
| Accounts payable | ||||

We have determined the method of accounting for the reverse acquisition guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 Business Combinations (“ASC 805”),
We prepared the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, following a reverse acquisition under Eva Live Inc. (accounting acquiree), but as a continuation of the financial statements of EvaMedia (accounting acquirer). We have made one adjustment: retroactively adjusting EvaMedia’s legal capital to reflect the legal capital of the Company. We calculated the adjustment based on the share exchange ratio of one new share of Company common stock for every share of EvaMedia capital stock previously issued and outstanding. Comparative information preserved in these consolidated financial statements is also retroactively adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the Company. The legal capital on December 31, 2023, reflects the legal capital of the Company after the Acquisition date and therefore requires no adjustment.

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)
We operate at the junction of digital marketing and media monetization. We enable market awareness of companies and brands by providing best-in-class digital marketing and monetization services on the Internet. Our typical customers are advertising agencies (classified under SIC7319) and businesses in various industries seeking to market their products and services using our platform, including media companies, financial institutions, and other retail entities. Most of our customers are from North America, mainly the US and Canada. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, we had nineteen (19) customers, primarily from North America, compared to seven (7) customers for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The top three customers represent 73% and 92% of revenue for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, and 2022. Our company’s financial health is highly dependent on these top customers. If any of them were to significantly reduce their spending or cease doing business with your company, it could have a major impact on your revenue and overall financial health. Such customers advertise with media through us and engage in media buying services such as online traffic from the Eva Platform. We also deal with businesses (as described under NAICS 541810) that utilize our in-house digital marketing capabilities, including advice, creative services, account management, production of advertising material, media planning, and buying (i.e., placing advertising).
We execute our business through Eva Platform based on Artificial Intelligence, or AI, to match advertising campaigns to specific ad spots one at a time. Our system creates conversion mapping tables that allow us to increase conversion rates by analyzing those trends with optimized historical conversion rates and further capitalizing on and improving those rates. We leverage “big data,” an accumulation of too large and complex data for traditional database management tools to process. Since more companies are attempting to leverage big data to make strategic business decisions, we have built automated tools that analyze the data and feed the relevant information into our decision logic. We have designed our solution to optimize brand campaigns to create brand awareness and direct response campaigns with a fixed conversion point.
In November 2020, the Company completed the development of the Eva XML Platform, where the Platform buys traffic from various sources and sells that traffic to landing pages that display advertising via XML feeds. A price discrepancy exists between buying traffic on display and native platforms for specific keywords in an ad campaign and the XML search feeds. The Eval XML Platform manages the entire ad buying/selling process by integrating into Google, Microsoft, Taboola, Revcontent, Gemini, and Facebook. The Eva XML Platform creates thousands of ads with the push of a button. The Eva XML Platform manages the spending depending on the performance of keywords in the ad campaign to maximize the arbitrage revenue.
The Company earns revenues from advertisers by signing purchase or insertion orders based on Standard Terms and Conditions for Internet Advertising for Media Buys One Year or Less, Version 3.0, as defined in 4’s/IAB. We intend to offer media companies and advertising agencies a standard for conducting business acceptable to both parties based on such terms and conditions. When incorporated into an insertion order, this protocol represents the Company and its customers’ shared understanding of doing business. The Company may also sign additional documents to cover sponsorships and other arrangements involving content association, integration, and special production. The Company considers an insertion order with its customers, a binding contract with the customer, or other similar documentation reflecting the terms and conditions under which it provides products or services. As a result, the Company considers the insertion order persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Each insertion is specific to the customer, defines each party’s fee schedule, duties, and responsibilities, and is governed by 4’s/IAB Version 3.0 for renewal and termination terms, confidentiality agreement, dispute resolution, and other clauses necessary for such contract.
Russia – Ukraine Conflict
The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The war between the two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues. The United States and certain European countries have imposed additional sanctions on Russia and specific individuals. The Company has no operation exposure in the region affected by war. As of the date of this report, there has been no disruption in our operations.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes represent the Company’s management, responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects. We have applied them consistently in preparing the accompanying financial statements.
The results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2024.
Financial Statement Preparation and Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include Cash on hand, deposits at banking institutions, and all highly liquid short-term investments with original
maturities of 90 days or less. The Company had a cash balance of $
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable primarily represents the amount due from two (2) customers. In some cases, the customer receivables are due immediately on demand; however, in most cases, the Company offers net 45 terms or n/45, where the payment is due in full 45 days after the invoice’s date. The Company bases the allowance for doubtful accounts on its assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering historical experience, credit quality, the accounts receivable balances’ age, and economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay and expected default frequency rates. Trade receivables are written off at the point when they are considered uncollectible.
At
March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the management determined that the allowance for doubtful accounts was $
Office Lease
Effective
May 21, 2020, the Company’s new corporate address was 1800 Century Park East, Suite 600, Los Angeles, CA 90067 (“California
Lease”). The Company has signed the California Lease on a month-to-month basis, entitled the Company to use the office and conference
space on a needs-only basis. The new lease payment is $

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Our typical customers are advertising agencies classified under SIC7319, which advertise with media but perform no creative services (media buying services such as online traffic from EvaMedia). We also deal with businesses (as described under NAICS 541810) organized to provide a full range of services (i.e., through in-house capabilities or subcontracting), including advice, creative services, account management, production of advertising material, media planning, and buying (i.e., placing advertising).
The Company earns revenues from advertisers by signing purchase or insertion orders based on Standard Terms and Conditions for Internet Advertising for Media Buys One Year or Less, Version 3.0, as defined in 4’s/IAB. Such terms and conditions are intended to offer media companies and advertising agencies an acceptable standard for conducting business for both parties. When incorporated into an insertion order, this protocol represents the Company and its customers’ shared understanding of doing business. The Company may also sign additional documents to cover sponsorships and other arrangements involving content association, integration, and special production. The Company considers an insertion order with its customers, a binding contract with the customer, or other similar documentation reflecting the terms and conditions under which it provides products or services. As a result, the Company considers the insertion order persuasive evidence of an arrangement. Each insertion is specific to the customer, defines each party’s fee schedule, duties, and responsibilities, and is governed by 4’s/IAB Version 3.0 for renewal and termination terms, confidentiality agreement, dispute resolution, and other clauses necessary for such contract.
The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue for insertion/purchase orders, or contract(s) (from now on known as ‘contracts’) received from customers.
The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services as per the contract with the customer. As a result, the Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which includes the following steps:
| ● | Identify the contract(s) and subsequent amendments with the customer. | |
| ● | Identify all the performance obligations in the contract and subsequent amendments. | |
| ● | Determine the transaction price for completing performance obligations. | |
| ● | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. | |
| ● | Recognize the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are reported following legacy GAAP. In addition to the above guidelines, the Company also considers implementation guidance on warranties, customer options, licensing, and other topics. The Company considers revenue collectability, methods for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation, warranties, customer options for additional goods or services, non-refundable upfront fees, licensing, customer acceptance, and other relevant categories.
The Company accounts for a contract when the Company and the customer (‘parties’) have approved the contract and are committed to performing their respective obligations, where each party can identify their rights, obligations, and payment terms; the contract has commercial substance. The Company will probably collect all of the consideration substantially. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the promised service to a customer. The Company fixes the transaction price for goods and services at contract inception. The Company’s standard payment terms are generally net 30 days and, in some cases, due upon receipt of the invoice.
The Company considers contract modification as a change in the scope or price (or both) of a contract that the parties approve. The parties describe contract modification as a change order, a variation, or an amendment. A contract modification exists when the parties to the contract approve a modification that either creates new or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations of the parties to the contract. The Company assumes a contract modification when approved in writing, by oral agreement, or implied by the customary business practice of the customer. If the parties to the contract have not agreed on a contract modification, the Company continues to apply the guidance to the existing contract until the contract modification is approved. The Company recognizes contract modification in various forms – including but not limited to partial termination, an extension of the contract term with a corresponding price increase, adding new goods and services to the contract, with or without a corresponding price change, and reducing the contract price without a change in goods or services promised.
| F-9 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
For all its goods and services, at contract inception, the Company assesses the solutions or services, or bundles of solutions and services, obligated in the contract with a customer to identify each performance obligation within the contract and then evaluate whether the performance obligations are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. Solutions and services that are not capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the agreement are combined and treated as a single performance obligation in determining the allocation and recognition of revenue. For multi-element transactions, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company determines the standalone selling price for each item at the transaction’s inception involving these multiple elements.
Performance Obligation |
Types of Deliverables | When Performance Obligation is Typically Satisfied | ||
| Insertion Order for Online Advertising | The Company sets up the advertising campaign on Eva’s demand-side Platform. It specifies types of ads (banner, search, video, etc.), place of the campaign (Website, mobile, or ad networks), and target of the ads (demographics, interests, etc.). | The Company recognizes the consulting revenues when the customer receives services over the length of the contract. If the customer pays the Company in advance for these services, the Company records such payment as deferred revenue until the Company completes the services. |
The Company assumes that the goods or services promised in the existing contract will be transferred to the customer to determine the transaction price. The Company believes the agreement will not be canceled, renewed, or modified; therefore, the transaction price includes only those the Company has rights to under the present contract. For example, suppose the Company agrees with a customer with an original term of one year and expects the customer to renew for a second year. In that case, the Company will determine the transaction price based on the initial one-year period. When choosing the transaction price, the Company first identifies the fixed consideration, including non-refundable upfront payment amounts.
To allocate the transaction price, the Company allocates an amount that best represents the consideration the entity expects to receive for transferring each promised good or service to the customer. To meet the allocation objective, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis. In determining the standalone selling price, the Company uses the best evidence of the standalone selling price that the Company charges to similar customers in similar circumstances. The Company sometimes uses the adjusted market assessment approach to determine the standalone selling price. It evaluates the market in which it sells the goods or services and estimates the price customers would pay for those goods or services when sold separately.
The Company recognizes revenue when or as it transfers the promised goods or services in the contract. The Company considers the “transfers” of the promised goods or services when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. The Company believes a customer “obtains control” of an asset when, or as, it can directly use and obtain all the remaining benefits from the asset substantially. The Company recognizes deferred revenue related to services it will deliver within one year as a current liability. The Company presents deferred revenue related to services that the Company will provide more than one year into the future as a non-current liability.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of Cash. The Company places its Cash with a major banking institution. The Company did not have cash balances over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit on March 31, 2024.
| F-10 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Legal Proceedings
The Company discloses a loss contingency if at least there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss has been incurred. The Company records its best estimate of loss related to pending legal proceedings when the loss is considered probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company can reasonably estimate a range of loss with no best estimate; the Company records the minimum estimated liability. As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability of pending legal proceedings, revises its estimates, and updates its disclosures accordingly. The Company’s legal costs associated with defending itself are recorded as expenses incurred. The Company is currently not involved in any litigation.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment following FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company may not recover the carrying amounts. An impairment charge amount is recognized if and when the asset’s carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. This method calculates deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates applicable each year.
The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, more than 50%, likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.
The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The Management of the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly in the next 12 months.
Website and Software Development Costs
By
ASC 985-20, Software development costs, including costs to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, are capitalized after
establishing technological feasibility, if significant. The Company amortizes the Capitalized software development costs using the straight-line
amortization method over the estimated useful life of the application software. By December 2018, the Company completed the activities
(planning, designing, coding, and testing) necessary to establish that it could produce and meet the design specifications of the Eva
Platform and its various components. The Company estimates the useful life of the software to be three (
The Company includes certain Website and app purchases as part of these capitalized costs. The capitalization of website costs is a significant portion of the total assets. The Company capitalizes on significant expenses incurred during the application development stage for internal-use software. The Company does not believe that capitalizing software development costs are material.
| F-11 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company accounts for website development costs following Accounting Standards Codification 350-50 “Website Development Costs” (ASC 350-50). The Company capitalizes on external website development costs (“website costs”), which primarily include:
| ● | third-party costs related to acquiring domains and developing applications, | |
| ● | as well as costs incurred to develop or acquire and customize code for web applications, | |
| ● | costs to develop HTML web pages or develop templates and | |
| ● | costs to create original graphics for the Website that included the design or layout of each page. |
The
Company also capitalizes on costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development; we account for such costs following
ASC 350-50. The Company estimates the useful life of the Website to be three (
Share-based compensation to employees and non-employees
The Company uses ASC 718 guidance to apply share-based compensation accounting to certain employees and non-employee individuals, such as outsourced employees, non-employee directors, and consultants performing management functions, are employees or non-employees. The differences in the accounting for share-based payment awards granted to an employee versus a non-employee relate to the measurement date and recognition requirements. The Company believes an employee is the one who has the right to exercise sufficient control to establish an employer-employee relationship based on common law, as illustrated in case law and currently under US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Revenue Ruling 87-41.
Restricted securities are securities acquired in unregistered, private sales from the Company or an affiliate. The restricted securities require the owner to follow the US Securities Exchange Commission guidelines defined under Rule 144 - Selling Restricted and Control Securities. On the other hand, restricted shares issued for consideration other than for goods or employee services are fully paid for immediately. As a result, the Company has expensed these shares at the time of the contract. There is no vesting period for non-employees.
Fair Value
The Company uses current market values to recognize certain assets and liabilities at a fair value. The fair value is the estimated price at which an asset can be sold, or a liability settled in an orderly transaction to a third party under current market conditions. The Company uses the following methods and valuation techniques for deriving fair values:
Market Approach – The market approach uses the prices associated with actual market transactions for similar or identical assets and liabilities to derive a fair value.
Income Approach – The income approach uses estimated future cash flows or earnings, adjusted by a discount rate representing the time value of money and the risk of cash flows not being achieved to derive a discounted present value.
Cost Approach – The cost approach uses the estimated cost to replace an asset adjusted for the obsolescence of the existing asset.
The Company ranks the fair value hierarchy of information sources from Level 1 (best) to Level 3 (worst). The Company uses these three levels to select inputs for valuation techniques:
| Level I | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||
| Level 1 is a quoted price for an identical item in an active market on the measurement date. This is the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used whenever this information is available. | Level 2 is directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices. An example of a Level 2 input is a valuation multiple for a business unit based on comparable entities’ sales. | Level 3 is an unobservable input. It may include the Company’s data, adjusted for other reasonably available information. Examples of a Level 3 input are an internally generated financial forecast. |
The
Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations
are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings
per share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share
equivalents outstanding. As of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had and basic and dilutive
shares issued and outstanding, respectively. Common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive during the three months ending March 31, 2023,
due to a net loss of $
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
| F-12 |
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company has prepared consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. The Company has started generating revenues and growing its operations with limited capital. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months after issuing these consolidated financial statements. The continuation of the Company as a going concern depends on financial support from its stockholders and its ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations.
The

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may depend on the success of management’s plans. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
To the extent the Company’s operations need to be improved to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Company may attempt to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or try to raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock issuance of debt.
The Company intends to continue its efforts to enhance its revenue from its diversified portfolio of technological solutions, become cash flow positive, and raise funds through private placement offerings and debt financing. As the Company increases its customer base globally and accepts its Eva Platform, it intends to acquire long-lived assets that will provide a future economic benefit beyond fiscal 2023.

Current Operations
As of September 28, 2021, the Company’s vision is to build the world’s leading digital media platform to deliver measurable business outcomes at a scale for regional and global brands, agencies, and retailers across different marketing goals. Our system continually learns to achieve trusted and impactful digital advertising solutions, eliminating ad fraud, lag, and error to produce unmatched digital advertising optimization. Effective September 28, 2021, David Boulette is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Director. At present, the Company currently has four directors. The one non-executive director is Terry Fields. The three executive directors are David Boulette, Phil Aspin, and Daryl Walser.
Eva Live is a technology company that has developed an automated and intelligent advertiser campaign management platform, Eva Platform. Our Platform enables advertisers (‘customers, clients’) to buy advertising space on several digital channels to reach their desired audience. Our technology intends to address the needs of markets where high-volume advertisers want automated advertising purchases to have high conversion rates. We focus on data-driven marketing and cross-channel measurement, critical to businesses looking to optimize their marketing budget and reach audiences across all their integrated advertising efforts.
We operate at the junction of digital marketing and media monetization. We enable market awareness of companies and brands by providing best-in-class digital marketing and monetization services on the Internet. Our typical customers are advertising agencies (classified under SIC7319) and businesses in various industries seeking to market their products and services using our platform, including media companies, financial institutions, and other retail entities. Most of our customers are from North America, mainly the US and Canada.
For the three months ending March 31, 2024, we had nine (9) customers, primarily from North America, compared to seven (7) customers for the previous period ending March 31, 2023. The top three customers represent over 83% and 70% of revenue for the three months ending March 31, 2024, and 2023. Our company’s financial health is highly dependent on these top customers. If any of them were to significantly reduce their spending or cease doing business with your company, it could have a major impact on your revenue and overall financial health. Such customers advertise with media through us and engage in media buying services such as online traffic from the Eva Platform. We also deal with businesses (as described under NAICS 541810) that utilize our in-house digital marketing capabilities, including advice, creative services, account management, production of advertising material, media planning, and buying (i.e., placing advertising).
| 2 |
We execute our business through Eva Platform based on Artificial Intelligence, or AI, to match advertising campaigns to specific ad spots one at a time. Our system creates conversion mapping tables that allow us to increase conversion rates by analyzing those trends with optimized historical conversion rates and further capitalizing on and improving those rates. We leverage “big data,” an accumulation of data that is too large and complex for processing by traditional database management tools. Since more companies are attempting to leverage big data to make strategic business decisions, we have built automated tools that analyze the data and feed the relevant information into our decision logic. We have designed our solution to optimize brand campaigns to create awareness and direct response campaigns with a fixed conversion point.
The Company also owns the Eva XML Platform, which buys traffic from various sources and sells that traffic to landing pages that display advertising via XML feeds. A price discrepancy exists between buying traffic on display and native platforms for specific keywords in an ad campaign and the XML search feeds. The Eval XML Platform manages the entire ad buying/selling process by integrating into Google, Microsoft, Taboola, Revcontent, Gemini, and Facebook. As a result, we can create thousands of ads with a push of a button. The Eva XML Platform manages the spending depending on the performance of keywords in the ad campaign to maximize the arbitrage revenue.
Recent Significant Transaction – EvaMedia Corp. Acquisition
On September 28, 2021 (the ‘Acquisition Date’), the Company merged (‘Acquisition’) into EvaMedia Corp. (‘EvaMedia). Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of EvaMedia. As a result, the Company issued 110,192,177 shares of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of EvaMedia, and immediately following the Acquisition, 111,169,525 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. As a result, EvaMedia’s shareholders control 99.12% of issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis. Following the Acquisition, David Boulette of EvaMedia became the company’s CEO, director, and controlling shareholder. He appointed two additional board members from EvaMedia, Phil Aspin and Darly Walser. Terry Fields remained the only board member from the Company.
We have accounted the Acquisition as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting per ASC 805, with EvaMedia treated as the accounting acquirer and the Company treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. We determine EvaMedia an accounting acquirer based on the following facts: (i) after the reverse merger, former shareholders of EvaMedia held a majority of the voting interest of the combined company; (ii) former Board of Directors of EvaMedia possess majority control of the Board of Directors of the combined company; (iii) members of the management of EvaMedia are responsible for the management of the combined company. As such, we have treated the financial statements of EvaMedia as the historical financial statements of the combined company, and (iv) EvaMedia’s relative size measured in assets and revenues is significantly larger than that of the Company.
We have identified the Company as the legal acquirer, as it is the entity that issued securities. Comparatively, we have identified EvaMedia as the legal acquiree, the entity whose equity interests are acquired.
We consider the Acquisition a reverse acquisition; therefore, the purchase consideration is the Company’s fair value as of September 28, 2021. The number of shares issued and outstanding for the Company just before the Acquisition Date was 977,348, with a market price of $2.000 quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol GOAI. We estimated the purchase price and the book value or net financial liability of the Company to be $1,954,697 and $55,909. As a result, we recorded Goodwill as the difference between the purchase price and book value, $2,010,606. The Company carried out the Goodwill Impairment Analysis as of December 31, 2021, where the carrying value of the Goodwill as of December 31, 2021, is $2,010,606. The fair market value of the implied Goodwill is approximately $37,772,765, which is higher than the carrying value, and thus, the Company did not record any impairment as of December 31, 2023. Factors that might lead a company to perform more frequent impairment tests include economic downturns, poor operational results, lower market capitalization, or other market and industry changes that could reduce the fair value of the reporting units or the intangible assets. We opted not to perform impairment tests as such factors do not impact our business during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
AdFlare Acquisition
On July 13, 2022, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“AdFlare SEA”) with AdFlare Limited, a company duly formed under the laws of Ireland (Reg. Number: 714192) (“AdFlare”), and the shareholders of AdFlare, Phil Aspin, an individual and Stephen Adds, an individual (collectively, the “Shareholders”) whereby the Company acquired One Hundred (100%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of AdFlare in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $1,500,000 using the discounted cash flow methodology. Mr. Phil Aspin, co-founder of AdFlare, has been a member of the Company’s Board of Directors since September 28, 2021. The Company carried out the Goodwill Impairment Analysis as of December 31, 2023, where the carrying value of the Goodwill as of December 31, 2022, is $1,500,000. The fair market value of the implied Goodwill is approximately $0, which is less than the carrying value, and thus, the impairment as of December 31, 2022, is $1,500,000.
AdFlare, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a leader in the specialized field of “Header Bidding,” with a deep contextual understanding of an array of ad technologies spanning search, display, and video across mobile and desktop, providing solutions to help all publishers drive revenue. Header bidding, also known as advance or pre-bidding, is a technology wherein publishers simultaneously offer their inventory to multiple ad exchanges, advertisers, and agencies. The idea is that by letting various buyers bid on the same inventory at the same time, in real-time, there’s more competition driving up the auction pressure and a chance to serve each impression at a higher Cost Per Mille rate (“CPM rate”), meaning capturing additional revenue. AdFlare has a track record of delivering over 1 billion ad impressions a month and increasing Google AdX over Google AdSense CPM by over 30%, with an average fill rate of 99.9% in the US market.

Financial Conditions at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023
At March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had $1,504,365 and $472,509 cash to execute its business plan. At March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had accumulated a deficit of $23,985,950 and $24,176,091. The Company had a working capital surplus and deficit of $129,000 and $61,141 on March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
Three Months Ending from March 31, 2024, and 2023
At present, we generate all revenues from the principal-based model. The Company generated revenues of $2,236,950 and $345,813 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023. The rise in revenues was primarily driven by a growth in the Company’s customer base, expanding from seven (7) to nine (9) customers over the period ending March 31, 2024, and 2023. Additionally, this increase in revenue was further bolstered by the larger size of the contracts secured during the three months concluding on March 31, 2024. The Company incurred a net income and net loss of $190,141 and $108,114 in the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred general & administrative costs (“G and A”) of $384,841 and $201,311, representing 17.20% and 58.21% of the respective quarterly revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company spent $1,661,968 and $198,172 in buying media traffic, representing 74.31% and 57.31% of respective quarterly revenue. The increase in media traffic was due to service the increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the amortization and depreciation expenses were $0 and $54,444.
The Company’s rent expenses were $687 and $687 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had $1,504,365 and 472,509 cash to execute its business plan. At March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had accumulated a deficit of $23,985,950 and $24,176,091. The Company had a working capital surplus and deficit of $129,000 and $61,141 on March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.
Since its inception, the Company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Management believes that cash on hand may not be sufficient for the Company to meet working capital and corporate development needs as they become due in the ordinary course of business for twelve (12) months following March 31, 2024. The Company had not generated significant revenues or cash flow from operations in the past and for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations and the ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment to develop its financial technologies. We expect to conduct the planned operations for twelve months using currently available capital resources. The Management anticipates raising significant additional capital to accomplish its growth plan over twelve (12) months. We do not have any plans or specific agreements for new funding sources. The Management expects to seek additional funding through private equity or public markets. However, there can be no assurance about the availability or terms such as financing and capital might be available.
In the next twelve months, the Company will continue to invest in sales, marketing, product support, development of technology solutions, and enhancement of existing technology to serve our customers. We expect capital expenditure to increase to up to $250,000 in the next twelve months to support the growth, which mainly includes software development, acquisition of complementary software, and purchasing of computers and servers. In addition, the Company estimates the additional expenditure needed to be $250,000, which provides $100,000 and $1500,000 for sales & marketing and working capital, respectively.
| 4 |
For the next six to nine months, we expect existing cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and access to funding to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and other cash commitments, such as related party payments and material capital expenditures. However, we may need additional funds to achieve sustainable sales where ongoing operations can be funded out of revenues. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available or, if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.
GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION
We have yet to generate significant revenues and cash flow from operations to cover our ongoing expenses. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $23,985,950. Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management has considered various factors in evaluating the Company’s sustainability and the ability to manage obligations due within a year. Management has considered general economic conditions, key industry metrics, operating results, capital expenditures, commitments, future obligations, and liquidity. If there is a delay in generating significant revenues by December 31, 2023, the Company will require capital infusion from new and existing investors, streamlining operating costs, and evaluating new business strategies to enhance cash flow from operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
We have based our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations on our financial statements, which we have prepared following the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Our actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material and uncertain in the current economic environment due to COVID-19.
In more detail, we have described significant accounting policies in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on October 27, 2023. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as appropriate based on changing conditions.
JOBS ACT ACCOUNTING ELECTION
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued after the enactment of the JOBS Act until those standards apply to private companies. As an emerging growth company, we have applied for an exemption; as a result, the Company may delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until the standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(c) of the SEC’s Regulation S-B. We did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2020, including interim periods therein. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. We have adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2020, for ASC 606, Revenue Recognition and Amended ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840). The ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. While we have described significant accounting policies in more details in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our S-1/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on October 27, 2023, we believe the accounting policies as described in Note 2 to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company,
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our consolidated financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness in future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024. Based on our assessments, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024, due to the material weakness in our internal controls due to inadequate segregation of duties within account processes due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record keeping.
Management intends to implement remediation steps to improve our internal controls due to inadequate segregation of duties within account processes due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record keeping. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing the size and composition of our board upon the closing of the business identifying third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications, and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals and implemented additional layers of reviews in the internal controls and financial reporting process.
This Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months Ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
