REACHOUT TECHNOLOGY, CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
Unaudited
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Reachout Technology, Corp. (the “Company”) is a corporation formed on February 13, 2020 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company provides cybersecurity and IT management solutions to businesses to protect their complete operating landscape and data secrets. The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.
From formation on February 13, 2022 until the acquisition of Innovative Design Networks, LLC (“IND”) on September 2, 2022, the Company had no principal operations or revenue. The Company’s activities from inception to the aforementioned acquisition primarily consisted of formation activities, acquisition research and preparations to raise capital. Since the Company has commenced its planned principal operations, it will incur significant additional expenses. The Company is dependent upon additional capital resources for its planned principal operations and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
Having acquired IND as a wholly owned subsidiary on September 2, 2022, planned operations have commenced. IND is a New Jersey limited liability company and the Company acquired 100% of the member’s interest of IND in exchange for cash, notes payable, commitment to purchase universal life insurance policies for the two principals and 500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The transaction was deemed to be a business combination and the Company has applied acquisition accounting under ASC 805. IND provides cybersecurity and IT management solutions to businesses to protect their complete operating landscape and data secrets.
The Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement on September 29, 2023 with RedGear, LLC, a Texas limited liability company and acquired 100% of the member’s interest of RedGear, LLC, in exchange for cash, a note payable and the assumption of certain liabilities of RedGear, LLC. The transaction was deemed to be a business combination and the Company has applied acquisition accounting under ASC 805. RedGear provides cybersecurity and IT management solutions to businesses to protect their complete operating landscape and data secrets.
Reverse Merger/Acquisition of ReachOut Technology Corp.
On November 9,2023, the Company closed the Share Exchange and Control Block Transfer Agreements with Yuenglings Cream Corporation (“YCRM”) whereby 100% of the membership interests of the Company were exchanged for YRCM’s Series C Preferred Stock which are convertible into 87.5% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the YCRM.
The Share Exchange is intended to constitute a reorganization with the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended).
As a result of the transaction, the Company became a subsidiary of the YCRM.
The Company evaluated the substance of the merger transaction and found it met the criteria for the accounting and reporting treatment of a reverse acquisition under ASC 805 (Business Combinations)-40-45 (Reverse Acquisition and Other Presentation Matters) and accordingly the operations of the Company will be consolidated into YCRM as well as the financial condition from the closing date of the transaction. The historic results of operations will reflect those of the Company. As such, the Company is treated as the acquirer while the YCRM is treated as the acquired entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes.
Under reverse merger accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of YCRM, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer, (the Company), the Company’s financial statements prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition; reflect only the business of ReachOut and its subsidiaries.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated profits since inception, has sustained net losses of $1,744,814 for the year ended December 31, 2023, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations for the period. As of December 31, 2023, the working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit, and accumulated deficit was $7,512,416 $1,361,402 and $3,288,560, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company would be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities as a result of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ReachOut Technology Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ReachOut IND and RedGear. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Since September 2, 2022 following the purchase of 100% of the membership interests in Innovative Network Designs LLC, (now ReachOut IND) and RedGear, LLC on September 29, 2023, the operations, assets and liabilities have been consolidated into the Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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 period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, inventory, revenue recognition and the valuations of common stock. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company generally maintains balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality, in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held at accredited financial institutions. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $84,785 in excess of insured amounts at one financial institution.
The Company’s subsidiary, Innovative Design Networks, has two clients having outstanding unpaid account representing a total of 79% of the accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2023. The RedGear subsidiary has three clients having outstanding unpaid accounts receivable representing a total of 66% of its total receivables as of December 31, 2023.
F-7
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.
The carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities approximate their fair values.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and its related amendments (collectively known as “ASC 606”), effective January 1, 2018. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
Identification of a contract with a customer;
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
Determination of the transaction price;
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance.
It is management’s practice to only invoice for services and goods to be provided within the coming month. While services may not be fully transferred the client is in fact obligated to pay the invoiced amount unless the contract is terminated with prior notice.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in General and Administrative expenses. Expenditures amounted to $172,795 and $385,550, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
F-8
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to additional paid-in capital or as a discount to debt, as applicable, upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company had recorded $0 and $0 in deferred offering costs, respectively. The costs of $305,000 recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021, were recognized as a charge to additional paid in capital during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, and directors based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported. Stock-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period and over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services. In accordance with ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees are included. Consistent with the accounting requirement for employee share-based payment awards, nonemployee share-based payment awards within the scope of Topic 718 are measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that an entity is obligated to issue when the good has been delivered or the service has been rendered and any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is unlikely that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company assesses its income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company’s policy is be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements.
Net Loss per Share
Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti- dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each period presented. Potentially dilutive items outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, are as follows:
Year Ended December 31, | Year Ended December 31, | |||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||||
Series A preferred stock | - | 1,000,000 | ||||||
Common shares to be issued | 496,214 | 660,000 | ||||||
Total potentially dilutive shares | 496,214 | 1,660,000 |
F-9
Convertible Notes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options
The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which contain, predominantly, fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. This results in a fair value of the convertible note being equal to a fixed monetary amount. The Company records the convertible note liability at its fixed monetary amount by measuring and recording a premium, as applicable, on the Note date with a charge to interest expense in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company may enter into convertible notes, some of which contain embedded derivatives. The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 810-10-05-4 and 815-40. This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any derivatives be recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, as is the case with the Company, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion, repayment or exercise date and then the related fair value amount is reclassified to other income or expense as part of gain or loss on extinguishment.
Business Combinations
In accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations”, we account for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities, including any remaining non-controlling interests, are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets, liabilities, or non-controlling interests made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Any cost or equity method interest that we hold in the acquired company prior to the acquisition is re-measured to fair value at acquisition with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income for the difference between fair value and the existing book value. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in our results from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired tangible and intangible assets.
Related Party Transactions
We follow FASB ASC subtopic 850-10, “Related Party Transactions”, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20, related parties include: a) our affiliates; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) our principal owners; e) our management; f) other parties with which we may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
F-10
Material related party transactions are required to be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which statements of operation are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which statements of operations are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to report on their balance sheets a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in connection with most lease agreements classified as operating leases under the prior guidance (ASC Topic 840). Under the new guidance, codified as ASC Topic 842, the lease liability must be measured initially based on the present value of future lease payments, subject to certain conditions. The right-of-use asset must be measured initially based on the amount of the liability, plus certain initial direct costs. The new guidance further requires that leases be classified at inception as either (a) operating leases or (b) finance leases. For operating leases, periodic expense generally is flat (straight-line) throughout the life of the lease. For finance leases, periodic expense declines over the life of the lease. The new standard, as amended, provides an option for entities to use the cumulative-effect transition method. As permitted, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842 effective June 1, 2020. The adoption of ASC Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s subsidiaries have recognized the Right of Use assets and related liabilities for leases and sublease for the office facilities in New Jersey, Texas and Arizona during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and following the acquisitions are accounted for under ASC 842. The corporate office is an informal arrangement which provides for office space in a shared office environment with a company controlled by the CEO and is exempt from ASC 842 treatment. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company recognized a lease liabilities of $767,068 (2023) and $174,098 (2022) and the related right-of-use asset for the same amounts, and will amortize both over the life of the lease.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 eliminates the separate accounting model for nonemployee share-based payment awards and generally requires companies to account for share-based payment transactions with nonemployees in the same way as share-based payment transactions with employees. The accounting remains different for attribution, which represents how the equity-based payment cost is recognized over the vesting period, and a contractual term election for valuing nonemployee equity share options. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on February 13, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606, providing new revenue recognition guidance that superseded existing revenue recognition guidance. The update, as amended, requires the recognition of revenue related to the transfer of goods or services to customers reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, as well as additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures about revenues. The Company adopted the new revenue recognition guidance as of February 13, 2020. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on its financial statements.
F-11
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470- 20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted ASU 2017-11 on February 13, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity, and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on February 13, 2020 and the adoption did not have any impact on its financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
NOTE 4 - GOODWILL
The Company acquired the operations, assets and liabilities of Innovative Network Designs, LLC during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company recognized goodwill of $5,363,173.

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement
Innovative Network Designs, LLC
The Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement on August 1, 2022 with Innovative Network Designs, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company and acquired 100% of the member’s interest of Innovative Network Designs, LLC, in exchange for cash, notes payable, commitment to purchase universal life insurance policies for the two principals and 500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The transaction was deemed to be a business combination and the Company applied acquisition accounting under ASC 805. Upon closing (September 2, 2022) the total value of the consideration given for the purchase was $6,018,193. Included in the purchase consideration: is the commitment to pay universal life insurance policies for a total cash value of $3,150,000 over seven years ($382,500 annually), which the Company anticipates will be financed by a third party; a term promissory note (24 months with a ballon payment at maturity); a promissory note secured by a second priority lien on all the Company’s membership interests and other defined assets (amortizable); and 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $1.00 per share (the offering price of the Company’s regulation A offering documents). The purchase price was allocated to net tangible assets of $655,020 with the balance of $5,363,173 allocated to goodwill, which is not amortized to expense (see note 5). The assets and liabilities (with the exception of the lease related items) are short term and therefore book value approximates the fair value. Management believes that there is significant value in the customer list and the trade name, but has not done separate valuation analysis. An impairment analysis will consider each potential sub component (customer list, workforce in place etc.) of the Goodwill recorded in accordance with the relevant accounting standards at least annually and more frequently should there be any financial or economic issues suggesting an impairment.

The Company determines its valuation allowance on deferred tax assets by considering both positive and negative evidence in order to ascertain whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Due to the history of losses the Company has generated in the past, the Company believes that it is not more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets in the U.S. can be realized as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, accordingly, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.
The Company is not currently under any international or any United States federal, state and local income tax examinations for any taxable years. All of the Company’s net operating losses are subject to tax authority adjustment upon examination.
