Item 1. Business

Overview

We own and operate CFN Media (the CFN Business), a digital marketing agency specializing in compliant, turnkey ad campaigns for the global cannabis, hemp and wellness industries, and the Ranco Business, a white label manufacturing and co-packing business for the global cannabis, hemp and wellness industries. Our ongoing operations currently consist primarily of the CFN Business and the Ranco Business and we will continue to pursue strategic transactions and opportunities. We are currently in the process of launching an e-commerce network focused on the sale of general wellness CBD products. We also own CNP Operating which is a cannabidiol manufacturer. In the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, the Company took steps to wind down the operations of CNP Operating and focus on the CFN and Ranco Businesses (beginning in July 2023).

On July 1, 2023, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, RANCO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or Ranco, acquired assets from RAN CoPacking Solutions LLC, a California limited liability company, or the Acquisition, which consists of assets for co-packing and white label manufacturing services, including comprehensive solutions for third party logistics (3PL) related areas such as storage, order fulfillment, solutions for custom packaging and hardware needs for many different industries, and media and design services, along with strategic marketing support, to help clients establish and enhance their brand presence in the market. Also on July 1, 2023, Ranco entered into the Packwoods Private Label Services and Intellectual Property Licensing Agreement, or the Licensing Agreement, with PW Industries LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, or PW, RS Distributions LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or RS, and Packaging Innovations LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, or PI, and together with PW and RS, the Licensors, for the exclusive manufacturing, packaging and distribution of, and wholesale and retail sales of a variety hemp-based inhalable (pre-roll and vaporizer), edible products, and disposable nicotine-based inhalable vaporizer products, and the purchase of packaging materials to be used with Packwoods-branded cannabis products (containing more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by weight) and the distribution of those packaging materials to licensed cannabis manufacturers designated by PW, using the Licensor’s licensed property for a 5 year exclusive term, subject to certain exclusions.

The CFN Business generates revenue by setting up and managing compliant, turnkey ad campaigns on behalf of its clients. The CFN Business also generates revenue through sponsored content, including articles, press releases, videos, podcasts, advertisements and other media, email advertisements and other marketing campaigns run on behalf of public and private companies in the cannabis, hemp and wellness industries, helping them reach accredited, retail and institutional investors. Most revenue is generated through contracts involving a monthly cash payment.

The CFN Business’ primary expenses come from advertising on platforms like X (f/k/a Twitter) and Facebook and from employee salaries and contractor fees. The CFN Business’ content is primarily produced by a team of freelance writers. Video content is produced through various vendors. The CFN Business also incurs hosting and development costs associated with maintaining and improving its website, web applications, and mobile applications. The CFN Business operates several media platforms, including CannabisFN.com, CFNMediaNews.com, and other venues. These properties are designed to educate and inform investors interested in the cannabis industry, as well as provide a platform for the clients of the CFN Business to reach investors. The CFN Business distributes content across numerous online platforms, including the CannabisFN.com website, press releases, financial news syndicates, search engines, YouTube, iTunes, Instagram, X (f/k/a Twitter), Facebook, LinkedIn, and others.

The CFN Business targets the legal cannabis, hemp and wellness industries. According to Grand View Research, the global cannabis industry alone is expected to reach $134.4 billion by 2030, driven by the legalization of medical and adult-use cannabis across a growing number of jurisdictions. The CFN Business’ services are designed to help companies in these highly regulated industries increase sales with compliant, turnkey online ad campaigns.

Our principal offices are located at 600 E. 8th Street, Whitefish, Montana 59937. Our telephone number there is: (833) 420-2636. Our corporate website is: www.cfnenterprisesinc.com, the contents of which are not part of this annual report.

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace under the symbol "CNFN."

How we market our services

Ranco’s products and services are sold through our direct sales force and by attending industry related trade shows.

CFN Enterprises markets its services through its proprietary network of websites, including www.cfnmedianews.com and www.cannabisfn.com, social media channels and through its internal sales team.

Competition

CFN Enterprises competes with other public relations firms for clients, as well as online publishers for investors. Public relations competition includes investor awareness firms like Stockhouse Publishing, Catalyst Xchange, Stonebridge Partners and Midan Ventures. Online publisher competition includes firms like New Cannabis Ventures, Leafly and High Times.

Ranco competes with other product manufacturers and sellers in the hemp and wellness industries. The market for these products is fragmented and intensely competitive. Our competitors of these products include a combination of public and private companies who operate as combination of ecommerce and wholesale brands as well as brick and mortar retail operations.

Government Regulation

CFN Business

The CFN Business is regulated by rules established by the SEC, FINRA, and certain federal and state cannabis regulations.

Ranco Business

On December 20, 2018, the President of the United States signed the United States of the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, commonly known as the “Farm Bill,” into law. Among other things, this new law changed certain federal authorities relating to the production and marketing of hemp, defined as cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.), and hemp products containing less than 0.3 percent delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, including removing hemp and derivatives of hemp from the Controlled Substance Act. January 15, 2021 the USDA issued its final rule regarding the Establishment of a Domestic Hemp Production Program which authorized hemp to be grown and processed legally in the United States and made it legal to transport in interstate commerce.

The Farm Bill recognizes hemp as distinct from its genetic cousin, marijuana, and specifically industrial hemp has been excluded from U.S. drug laws. The Farm Bill allows for each individual state to regulate industrial hemp and industrial hemp-based products or accept the USDA rules. Although no longer a controlled substance under federal law, cannabinoids derived from industrial hemp (other than THC) are still subject to a patchwork of state regulations. We are actively monitoring the regulations and proposed regulations in each state to ensure our operations are compliant.

We are subject to federal and state consumer protection laws, including laws protecting the privacy of customer non-public information and the handling of customer complaints and regulations prohibiting unfair and deceptive trade practices. The growth and demand for online commerce has and may continue to result in more stringent consumer protection laws that impose additional compliance burdens on online companies. These laws may cover issues such as user privacy, spyware and the tracking of consumer activities, marketing e-mails and communications, other advertising and promotional practices, money transfers, pricing, product safety, content and quality of products and services, taxation, electronic contracts and other communications and information security.

There is also great uncertainty over whether or how existing laws governing issues such as sales and other taxes, auctions, libel, and personal privacy apply to the internet and commercial online services. These issues may take years to resolve. For example, tax authorities in a number of states, as well as a Congressional advisory commission, are currently reviewing the appropriate tax treatment of companies engaged in online commerce, and new state tax

regulations may subject us to additional state sales and income taxes. New legislation or regulation, the application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business or the application of existing laws and regulations to the internet and commercial online services could result in significant additional taxes or regulatory restrictions on our business. These taxes or restrictions could have an adverse effect on our cash flows, results of operations and overall financial condition. Furthermore, there is a possibility that we may be subject to significant fines or other payments for any past failures to comply with these requirements.

Employees

As of December 31, 2024, we had 22 full-time employees, including all of our executive officers. However, this figure does not include independent contractors that are utilized. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements, and we believe our relationships with our employees to be good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business faces risks. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. Our investors and prospective investors should consider the following risks and the information contained under the heading “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements” before deciding to invest in our common stock.

Our resources are limited and it may impact how we implement our growth strategy which may impact our operations.

Our resources are limited. Our working capital deficit at December 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $19.2 million and $14.4 million, respectively. As we implement our growth strategy, poor strategic design or execution could impact negatively our operations and our cash flows. We expect that our expenses will continue to increase as we continue to develop and implement our products and services. Our capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned if, for example, we incur unforeseen capital expenditures, incur unforeseen operating expenses, or make investments to maintain our competitive position. If this is the case, we may have to delay or abandon some or all of our development plans or otherwise forego market opportunities. We will need to generate significant revenues to be profitable in the future, and we may not generate sufficient revenues to be profitable on either a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

We have a history of losses.

We have a history of losses and negative cash flows from operations. We had a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $4.3 million in 2024 and a net loss of approximately $15.2 million in 2023. Our operations have been financed primarily through proceeds from the issuance of equity, borrowing money through the issuance of promissory notes and use of a credit facility. We may continue to incur losses in the future.

We have substantial indebtedness and obligations to pay interest.

We currently have, and will likely continue to have, a substantial amount of indebtedness and obligations to pay interest from our preferred stock. Our indebtedness and interest obligations could, among other things, make it more difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations, require us to use a large portion of our cash flow from operations to repay and service our debt and preferred stock or otherwise create liquidity problems, limit our flexibility to adjust to market conditions, place us at a competitive disadvantage and expose us to interest rate fluctuations. As of December 31, 2024 we had total debt outstanding of $7,630,295, of which $7,510,624 was short term. As of December 31, 2024, we had 500 shares of Series A Preferred, Stock, each with a stated value of $1,000 per share which bears interest at 12% per annum, and 3,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, each with a stated value of $1,000 per share which bears interest at 6% per annum.

We expect to obtain the money to pay our expenses and pay the principal and interest on our indebtedness, interest on our preferred stock, and tax liabilities from cash flow from our operations and potentially from securities offerings. Accordingly, our ability to meet our obligations depends on our future performance and capital raising activities,

which will be affected by financial, business, economic and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. If our cash flow and capital resources prove inadequate to allow us to pay the principal and interest on our debt, interest on our preferred stock and meet our other obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations, restructure or refinance our debt, which we may be unable to do on acceptable terms, and forego attractive business opportunities. In addition, the terms of our existing or future debt agreements may restrict us from pursuing any of these alternatives.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed in its report to our 2024 audited consolidated financial statements a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have not generated sufficient revenues from our operations to fund our activities and are therefore dependent upon external sources for financing our operations. There is a risk that we will be unable to obtain the necessary financing to continue our operations on terms acceptable to us or at all. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed in its auditors’ report on the consolidated financial statements for December 31, 2024, a substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. This going concern opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities or otherwise. Future reports on our financial statements may include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in the common stock.

Our quarterly financial results will fluctuate, making it difficult to forecast our results of operation.

Our revenues and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

●	Variability in demand and usage for our products and services;

●	Market acceptance of new and existing services offered by us, our competitors and potential competitors; and

●	Governmental regulations affecting the use of the Internet, including regulations concerning intellectual property rights and security features.

Our current and future levels of expenditures are based primarily on our growth plans and estimates of expected future revenues. If our operating results fall below the expectation of investors, our stock price will likely decline significantly.

Adverse macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, including trade policies and tariffs, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Challenging macroeconomic conditions, including as a result of geopolitical events, changes to international trade policies, public health crises, disruptions in global supply chains, and changes in inflation and interest rates, may negatively impact our costs from our suppliers and consumer demand for our products, as well as sales cycles, and in turn may materially affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Such economic factors and uncertainties are beyond the Company’s control and the Company has no comparative advantage in forecasting their effects.

The U.S. has established free trade laws and regulations that set certain duties and tariffs for qualifying imports and exports, subject to compliance with the applicable classification and other requirements. Changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, and in particular increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from countries where our supplies may be sourced could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. In recent years, the U.S. and Chinese governments have imposed a series of significant incremental retaliatory tariffs to certain imported products. Further, the U.S. administration recently has begun to enact additional or enhanced tariffs in various jurisdictions relevant to our business. Implementation of tariffs or other restrictive trade measures by the United States and potentially reciprocally by other countries subject to such to tariffs remains highly uncertain. If the actual and potential tariffs and reciprocal tariffs are implemented as currently proposed, our results of operations could be materially negatively impacted, both directly and indirectly through negative effects to our supply chain, as a result of increased costs, decreased demand and other adverse economic impacts, and we may not be able to successfully

mitigate or offset such impacts. Depending upon their implementation and duration, as well as our ability to mitigate their impact, these tariffs and any other future regulatory actions implemented on a broader range of products or raw materials could materially affect our business, including in the form of increased cost of goods sold, decreased margins, increased pricing for customers, reduced sales and disruption in our supply chain. Furthermore, additional trade restrictions could be adopted with little to no advance notice, and we may not be able to effectively mitigate the adverse impacts from such measures, which could further increase the cost of our products, disrupt our supply chain and impair our ability to effectively operate and compete in the countries where we do business. The Company is closely monitoring this evolving situation but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to mitigate the impacts of any trade measures, which could be material to the Company’s business operations or harm the Company’s competitive position.

The CFN Business provides services to persons engaged in the cannabis industry. Cannabis remains illegal under Federal law.

Despite the development of a regulated cannabis industry under the laws of certain states, these state laws regulating medical and adult cannabis use are in conflict with the Federal Controlled Substances Act, which classifies cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance and makes cannabis use and possession illegal on a national level. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the Federal government has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes, and thus Federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that regulate its use. If the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) did take action against the cannabis industry, those of our clients operating in the legal cannabis industry would be lost to us.

To analyze this risk, we are relying heavily upon the various U.S. federal governmental memos issued in the past (including the memorandum issued by the DOJ on October 19, 2009, known as the “Ogden Memorandum”, the memorandum issued by the DOJ on August 29, 2013, known as the “Cole Memorandum” and other guidance), to remain acceptable to those state and federal entities that regulate, enforce, or choose to defer enforcement of certain current regulations regarding cannabis and that the U.S. federal government will not change its attitude to those practitioners in the cannabis industry as long as they comply with their state and local jurisdictional rules and authorities.

The legal cannabis industry is not yet well-developed, and many aspects of this industry’s development and evolution cannot be accurately predicted, and therefore losing any clients may have a material adverse effect on our business. While we have attempted to identify our business risks in the legal cannabis industry, you should carefully consider that there are other risks that cannot be foreseen or are not described in this annual report, which could materially and adversely affect our business and financial performance.

As the possession and use of cannabis is illegal under the Federal Controlled Substances Act, we may be deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal activities through the services and data that we provide to cannabis dispensaries, cultivators and consumers. As a result, we may be subject to enforcement actions by law enforcement authorities, which would materially and adversely affect our business.

Under Federal law, and more specifically the Federal Controlled Substances Act, the possession, use, cultivation, and transfer of cannabis is illegal. The CFN Business provides services to customers that are engaged in the business of possession, use, cultivation, and/or transfer of cannabis. As a result, law enforcement authorities, in their attempt to regulate the illegal use of cannabis, may seek to bring an action or actions against us, including, but not limited, to a claim of aiding and abetting another’s criminal activities. The Federal aiding and abetting statute provides that anyone who “commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.” As a result of such an action, we may be forced to cease operations and our investors could lose their entire investment. Such an action would have a material negative effect on our business and operations.

Costs associated with compliance with numerous laws and regulations could impact our financial results. In addition, we could become subject to increased litigation risks associated with the CBD industry.

The manufacture, labeling and distribution by us of the hemp-based cannabinoid products is regulated by various federal, state and local agencies. These governmental authorities may commence regulatory or legal proceedings, which could restrict the permissible scope of our product claims or the ability to sell products in the future. We are subject to regulation by the federal government and other state and local agencies as a result of our hemp-based cannabinoid products. The shifting compliance environment and the need to build and maintain robust systems to comply with different compliance in multiple jurisdictions increases the possibility that we may violate one or more of the requirements. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of such laws or any other governmental regulations that apply to our company, we may be subject to penalties, including, without limitation, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could adversely affect the ability to operate our business and our financial results. Failure to comply with the various federal, state and local requirements may result in, among other things, injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product seizures, fines and criminal prosecutions. We are seeing increasing state-level labeling requirements that may increase our costs with respect to monitoring and adhering to unique label requirements in addition to potential product and packaging obsolescence costs. Our advertising is subject to regulation by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, under the Federal Trade Commission Act, and is subject to various state regulations enforced by state agencies and state attorneys general. Additionally, some states also permit advertising and labeling laws to be enforced by private attorneys general who may seek relief for consumers, seek class-action certifications, seek class-wide damages and product recalls of products sold by us. Any actions against our company by governmental authorities or private litigants could be time consuming, costly to defend and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Uncertainty caused by potential changes to legal regulations could impact the use of CBD products.

There is substantial uncertainty and different interpretations among federal, state and local regulatory agencies, legislators, academics and businesses as to the scope of operation of Farm Bill-compliant hemp programs relative to the emerging regulation of cannabinoids. These different opinions include, but are not limited to, the regulation of cannabinoids by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and/or the FDA and the extent to which manufacturers of products containing Farm Bill-compliant cultivators and processors may engage in interstate commerce. The uncertainties cannot be resolved without further federal, and perhaps even state-level, legislation, regulation or a definitive judicial interpretation of existing legislation and rules. If these uncertainties continue, they may have an adverse effect upon the introduction of our products in different markets.

We face intense competition from other marketing service providers.

We compete with many marketing service providers for consumers’ attention and spending. Our competitors may have substantially greater capital, longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. Our competitors may also engage in more extensive development of their technologies and may adopt more comprehensive marketing and advertising campaigns than we can. Our competitors may develop products and service offerings that we do not offer or that are more sophisticated or more cost effective than our own. For these and other reasons, our competitors’ products and services may achieve greater acceptance in the marketplace than our own, limiting our ability to gain market share and customer loyalty and to generate sufficient revenues to achieve a profitable level of operations. Our failure to adequately address any of the above factors could harm our business and operating results.

In addition, as the barriers to entry in our market segment are not substantial, an unlimited number of new competitors could emerge, thereby making our goal of establishing a market presence even more difficult. Because our management expects competition in our market segment to continue to intensify, there can be no assurances we will ever establish a competitive position in our market segment.

The market for CBD products is highly competitive. If we are unable to compete effectively in the market, our business and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

CBD products are a competitive and rapidly evolving market. There are numerous competitors in the industry, some of whom are more well-established with longer operating histories and greater financial resources than we have. We expect competition in the CBD industry to continue to intensify. We believe we will be able to compete effectively because of the quality of our products and customer service. However, there can be no assurance that we will

effectively compete with existing or future competitors. Increased competition may also drive the prices of our products down, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in future periods.

Given the rapid changes affecting the global, national and regional economies generally, and the CBD industry specifically, we may experience difficulties in establishing and maintaining a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Our success will depend on our ability to keep pace with any changes in such markets, especially legal and regulatory changes. Our success will depend on our ability to respond to, among other things, changes in the economy, market conditions and competitive pressures. Any failure to anticipate or respond adequately to such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to attract new customers or sell additional services and functionality to our existing customers, our revenue growth will be adversely affected.

To increase our revenues, we must add new customers, encourage existing customers to renew their agreements on terms favorable to us, increase their usage of our solutions, and sell additional functionality to existing customers. As our industry matures, as interactive channels develop further, or as competitors introduce lower cost and/or differentiated products or services that are perceived to compete with ours, our ability to sell and renew based on pricing, technology and functionality could be impaired. As a result, we may be unable to renew our agreements with existing customers or attract new customers or new business from existing customers on terms that would be favorable or comparable to prior periods, which could have an adverse effect on our revenue and growth, as well as our profitability and financial condition.

We may not be successful in increasing our brand awareness.

We believe that developing and maintaining awareness of the CFN brand is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our existing and future services and is an important element in attracting new customers. In order to build brand awareness, we must succeed in our marketing efforts and provide high quality services. Our efforts to build our brand will involve significant expense. Brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incurred in building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand, or incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain our brand, we may fail to attract enough new customers or retain our existing customers to the extent necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand-building efforts, and our business could suffer.

We depend on receipt of timely feeds from our content providers.

We depend on Web browsers, ISPs and online service providers to provide access over the Internet to our product and service offerings. Many of these providers have experienced significant outages or interruptions in the past, and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties due to system failures unrelated to our systems. These types of interruptions could continue or increase in the future.

We rely on third-party computer hardware and software that may be difficult to replace or which could cause errors or failures of our service.

We rely on computer hardware purchased or leased and software licensed from third parties in order to offer our services. This hardware and software may not continue to be available to us at reasonable prices, or on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any of this hardware or software could significantly increase our expenses and otherwise result in delays in the provisioning of our service until equivalent technology is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained and integrated, which could harm our business. Any errors or defects in third-party hardware or software could result in errors or a failure of our service which could harm our business.

If our security measures are breached and unauthorized access is obtained to a customer’s data or our data or our information technology systems, our service may be perceived as not being secure, customers may curtail or stop using our service and we may incur significant legal and financial exposure and liabilities.

Our service involves the storage and transmission of customers’ proprietary information, and security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss of this information, and to litigation and possible liability. These security measures may be breached as a result of third-party action, including intentional misconduct by computer hackers, by employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, during the transfer of data to additional data centers or at any time, and may result in someone obtaining unauthorized access to our customers’ data or our data, including our intellectual property and other confidential business information, or our information technology systems. Additionally, third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or customers into disclosing sensitive information such as user names, passwords or other information in order to gain access to our customers’ data or our data, including our intellectual property and other confidential business information, or our information technology systems. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, or to sabotage systems, change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. In addition, our customers may authorize third party technology providers, via our various Application Programming Interfaces, to access their customer data. Because we do not control the transmissions between our customers and third-party technology providers, or the processing of such data by third-party technology providers, we cannot ensure the complete integrity or security of such transmissions or processing. Any security breach could result in a loss of confidence in the security of our service, damage our reputation, disrupt our business, lead to legal liability and negatively impact our future sales.

Our future performance and success depends on our ability to retain our key personnel.

Our future performance and success is heavily dependent upon the continued active participation of our current senior management team, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, Brian Ross. The loss of any of their services could have a material adverse effect on our business development and our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in loss of sales and a slower rate of growth. We do not maintain any “key person” life insurance for any of our employees.

We may be subject to infringement claims on proprietary rights of third parties for software and other content that we distribute or make available to our customers.

We may be liable or alleged to be liable to third parties for software and other content that we distribute or make available to our customers:

●	If the content or the performance of our services violates third party copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights; or

●	If our customers violate the intellectual property rights of others by providing content through our services.

Any alleged liability could harm our business by damaging our reputation. Any alleged liability could also require us to incur legal expenses in defense and could expose us to awards of damages and costs including, but not limited to, treble damages for willful infringement, and would likely divert management’s attention which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We cannot assure you that third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to past, current, or future technologies. Participants in our markets may be increasingly subject to infringement claims as the number of services and competitors in our industry segment grows. In addition, these risks are difficult to quantify in light of the continuously evolving nature of laws and regulations governing the Internet. Any claim relating to proprietary rights, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause service upgrade delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, and we cannot assure you that we will have adequate insurance coverage or that royalty or licensing agreements will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Further, we plan to offer our services and applications to customers worldwide, including to customers in foreign countries that may offer less protection for our intellectual property than the United States. Our failure to protect against misappropriation of our intellectual property and claims against us that we are infringing the intellectual property of third parties could have a negative effect on our business, revenues, financial condition and results of operations.

Evolving government regulation could adversely affect our business prospects.

We do not know with certainty how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership copyright and other intellectual property issues, taxation, illegal or obscene content, regulated industries, retransmission of media, personal privacy and data protection will apply to the Internet or to the distribution of multimedia and other proprietary content over the Internet. Most of these laws were adopted before the advent of the Internet and related technologies and therefore do not address the unique issues associated with the Internet and related technologies. Depending on how these laws developed and are interpreted by the judicial system, they could have the effect of:

●	Limiting the growth of the Internet;

●	Creating uncertainty in the marketplace that could reduce demand for our products and services;

●	Increasing our cost of doing business;

●	Exposing us to significant liabilities associated with content distributed or accessed through our products or services; or

●	Leading to increased product and applications development costs, or otherwise harm our business.

Because of this rapidly evolving and uncertain regulatory environment, both domestically and internationally, we cannot predict how existing or proposed laws and regulations might affect our business.

In addition, as Internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by federal, state or foreign agencies becomes more likely. In addition, taxation of services provided over the Internet or other charges imposed by government agencies or by private organizations for accessing the Internet may also be imposed. Any regulation imposing greater fees for Internet use or restricting information exchange over the Internet could result in a decline in the use of the Internet and the viability of Internet-based services, which could harm our business.

Dilutive securities may adversely impact our stock price.

As of December 31, 2024, 11,988,500 shares of Common Stock were issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants.

These securities represent, as of December 31, 2024, approximately 14.6% of our Common Stock on a fully diluted, as exercised basis. In addition, our preferred stock is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price to be mutually determined between us and the holders in the future, and could result in the issuance of a significant number of shares of common stock. The exercise of any of these options or warrants, both of which have fixed prices, or conversion of our preferred stock, may materially adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and will have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm the value of our stock.

Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports, effectively prevent fraud and operate as a public company. We have discovered areas of our internal control over financial reporting that need improvement. If we are unable to adequately maintain or improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may report that our internal controls are ineffective. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results would be negatively impacted. Ineffective internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information which could have a negative effect on the market price of our Common Stock and which could result in regulatory proceedings against us by, among others, the SEC.

We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which stockholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and The Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address the board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. We have not yet adopted some of these corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so. We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit committee or other independent committees of our Board of Directors. In the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

The limited market for our Common Stock will make our stock price more volatile. Therefore, you may have difficulty selling your shares.

The market for our Common Stock is limited and we cannot assure you that a larger market will ever be developed or maintained. Currently, our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace. Securities quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace typically have low trading volumes. Market fluctuations and volatility, as well as general economic, market and political conditions, could reduce our market price. As a result, this may make it difficult or impossible for our shareholders to sell our Common Stock.

There are generally no restrictions on the resale of our outstanding Common Stock. Sales by existing shareholders may depress the share price of our Common Stock and may impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities when needed.

The possibility that substantial amounts of outstanding Common Stock may be sold in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock. This could negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities.

Sales of shares of our Common Stock to the public may adversely impact our stock price.

Sales 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 may make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their common stock at desirable prices. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Common Stock.

Some of the shares issued and options granted under our stock plan may have been issued in transactions that were not exempt from registration under certain state securities laws, the result of which is that the holders of these shares and/or options may have rescission rights that could require us to reacquire the shares and/or options.

Some of the shares issued and options granted under our equity compensation plan may not have been exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of certain states. We previously became aware that we may not have had a valid exemption for the issuance of these options and shares exercised upon exercise of these options under certain state laws. Because of the lack of registration and, potentially, the lack of a valid exemption from registration, the options we granted and the shares issued upon exercise of these options may have been issued in violation of certain state securities laws and may be subject to rescission.

If such shares and options are subject to rescission, we could be required to make payments to the holders of these shares and options in an amount not yet determinable by us. If any or all of the offerees reject the rescission offer, we may continue to be liable under state securities laws for payments to the offerees. If it is determined that we offered securities without properly registering them under state law, or securing an exemption from registration, regulators could impose monetary fines or other sanctions as provided under these laws.

Our Common Stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC, and the trading market in our Common Stock is limited. This makes transactions in our Common Stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of your shares.

The SEC has adopted Rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:

●	that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and

●	the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

●	Obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

●	make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

●	sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

●	that the broker or dealer received a signed, written statement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our Common Stock and cause a decline in its market value.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

We could become subject to litigation that could be costly, result in the diversion of management’s attention and require us to pay damages.

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings. Though we are not currently subject to any legal proceedings that we expect to result in a material adverse impact on our business, adverse outcomes in such proceedings may result in significant monetary damages or injunctive relief that could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and could divert management’s attention.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Risk Management and Strategy

We recognize the critical importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard our information systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our data. We have established policies and processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risk from cybersecurity threats. We assess risks from cybersecurity threats against our information systems that may result in adverse effects on our information systems or any information residing therein. We conduct periodic and ad-hoc assessments to identify cybersecurity threats.

Following these risk assessments, we evaluate whether and how to re-design, implement, and maintain reasonable safeguards to mitigate identified risks and reasonably address any identified gaps in existing safeguards. IT leadership reports to our CEO and CFO to manage the risk assessment and mitigation process. We monitor and test our safeguards and train our employees on these safeguards, in collaboration with human resources, IT, and management. We promote a company-wide culture of cybersecurity risk management. This ensures that the senior management are kept abreast of the cybersecurity posture and potential risks faced by the Company. We have not encountered cybersecurity challenges that have materially impaired our operations or financial standing during the financial year ended December 31, 2024.

Governance

Our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure. Our board of directors administers its cybersecurity risk oversight function directly as a whole. Our executive management will update the board of directors on cybersecurity risks on a periodic basis, with a minimum frequency of once per year.

Item 2. Properties.

On June 20, 2019, we entered into a Lease Agreement with Emerging Growth, LLC for the lease of office space in Whitefish, Montana, for a period of one year at a rate of $1,500 per month. On August 5, 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Emerging Growth, LLC for additional office space in Whitefish, Montana, replacing its previous lease from June 20, 2019. The term of the lease commenced on September 1, 2020 for a period of one year at a rate of $4,500 per month. The lease contains an option for the Company to renew the lease for a period of one additional year at a monthly rent subject to a 3% increase. On March 30, 2021, we entered into a new lease agreement for these premises commencing April 11, 2021 for a period of three years at a rate of $4,500 per month, which lease contains an option for the Company to renew the lease for a period of one additional year at a monthly rent subject to a 3% increase. On April 1, 2023, we entered into a modification of the existing lease agreement for these premises commencing April 1, 2023 for a period of five years at a rate of $3,750 per month, which lease contains an option for the Company to renew the lease for a period of one additional year at a monthly rent subject to a 3% increase.

On July 1, 2019, CNP Operating entered into a Lease Agreement with Blair Investments, LLC for the lease of commercial office and manufacturing space in Centennial, Colorado. The lease commenced on July 1, 2019 for a period of four years at a rate of $16,025. The lease increases $0.50 per square foot per year for the duration of the lease. The lease was terminated at the end of its term.

On August 12, 2022, CFN Real Estate LLC, entered into a First Amendment to Lease Agreement, or the Amendment, to the Lease, with H2S2 LLC, for the property in Eaton, Colorado. The Amendment amends the Lease to (i) provide for payment of the final non-refundable deposit in the amount of $34,000 on or before the earlier of November 30, 2022 or exercise of the option to purchase, (ii) provide for payment of the July 2022 monthly base rent in the amount of $14,000 on or before November 30, 2022, (iii) amend the payment date for monthly base rent from the 1st to the 15th of each month, (iv) to delete the seller financing provisions of the lease, and (v) to provide for an amendment fee of $20,000, on or before November 30, 2022, or upon exercise of the option to purchase, on or before the earlier of December 31, 2022 or closing on the purchase of the premises. The lease was terminated and the right to purchase was forfeited. CFN Real Estate, LLC was dissolved on December 5, 2023.

On April 15, 2022, CFN Real Estate II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kind Roots Botanicals, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, for the purchase of property in Wray, Colorado, consisting of a 26,330 square foot retail and commercial building located on a 2.85-acre site (the “Property”), and all fixtures and personal property used in or related to the ownership or development of the Property for the purpose of extraction and the manufacturing of cannabidiol (CBD) crude oil, distillate and isolate, including a certification of compliance with respect to the “Good Manufacturing Practice” regulations promulgated by the U.S. Food and Drug administration, in exchange for an aggregate of one million restricted shares of Company common stock. The Company will use the Property in connection with its CNP Operating cannabidiol (CBD) manufacturing business and expects that this acquisition should increase the overall production of the Company’s CNP Operating business by over 50%. The closing occurred on April 29, 2022. On April 12, 2023, the Company sold its property, including the machinery and equipment, at Wray, Colorado. Subsequently, the Company dissolved CFN Real Estate II on December 5, 2023.

We believe that our current leases are adequate and sufficient for our needs in the immediate future.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following information should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We own and operate a cannabis industry focused sponsored content and marketing business, or the CFN Business, and a white label manufacturing and co-packing business, or the Ranco Business. Our ongoing operations currently consist primarily of the CFN Business and the Ranco Business and we will continue to pursue strategic transactions and opportunities. We are currently in the process of launching an e-commerce network focused on the sale of general wellness CBD products. We also own CNP Operating which is a cannabidiol manufacturer. In the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, the Company took steps to wind down the operations of CNP Operating and focus on the CFN Business and the Ranco Business.

On July 1, 2023, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, RANCO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or Ranco, acquired assets from RAN CoPacking Solutions LLC, a California limited liability company, or the Acquisition which consists of assets for co-packing and white label manufacturing services, including comprehensive solutions for third party logistics (3PL) related areas such as storage, order fulfillment, solutions for custom packaging and hardware needs for many different industries, and media and design services, along with strategic marketing support, to help clients establish and enhance their brand presence in the market. Also on July 1, 2023, Ranco entered into the Packwoods Private Label Services and Intellectual Property Licensing Agreement, or the Licensing Agreement, with PW Industries LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, or PW, RS Distributions LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or RS, and Packaging Innovations LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, or PI, and together with PW and RS, the Licensors, for the exclusive manufacturing, packaging and distribution of, and wholesale and retail sales of a variety hemp-based inhalable (pre-roll and vaporizer), edible products, and disposable nicotine-based inhalable vaporizer products, and the purchase of packaging materials to be used with Packwoods-branded cannabis products (containing more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by weight) and the distribution of those packaging materials to licensed cannabis manufacturers designated by PW, using the Licensor’s licensed property for a 5 year exclusive term, subject to certain exclusions.

The CFN Business generates revenue through sponsored content, including articles, press releases, videos, podcasts, advertisements and other media, email advertisements and other marketing campaigns run on behalf of public and private companies in the cannabis industry, helping them reach accredited, retail and institutional investors. Most revenue is generated through contracts involving a monthly cash payment.

Ranco performs services including white label manufacturing and co-packing for customers. Customers will drop off their product and the Company will perform the services via their employees and contractors. Ranco will also order products that are manufactured overseas, such as custom boxes, packaging and hardware. These products are generally shipped from overseas to the customer. Lastly, Ranco provides certain shipping and third-party logistics services for customers.

Net Revenues

The Company’s revenues from the CFN Business are generated from the sale of promotional service packages to customers ranging from 3 to 6 months. The Company offers different packages tailored to the type and stage of the potential customer, such as public companies looking to increase their shareholder base, as well as private companies potentially looking to go public and attract capital and publicity. Ranco performs services including white label manufacturing and co-packing for customers. Customers will drop off their product and the Company will perform the services via their employees and contractors. When the services are complete, the Company has satisfied its performance obligations. Revenue is recognized at this point in time. Ranco will order products that are manufactured overseas, such as custom boxes, packaging and hardware. These products are generally shipped from overseas to the customer. When these products are shipped out from the manufacturer, the Company has satisfied its performance obligations. Revenue is recognized at this point in time. Lastly, Ranco provides certain shipping and third party logistics services for customers. When the services are complete, the Company has satisfied its performance obligations. Revenue is recognized at this point in time.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the CFN Business realized $273,167 of campaign revenue compared to $398,811 for the same period in the prior year. Our revenue for 2024 and 2023 also included $48,185 and $48,996, respectively, relating to sales of product from our e-commerce network focused on the sale of general wellness CBD products for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

In 2024, CNP Operating was no longer operating nor generating revenue.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s Ranco subsidiary generated revenue of $19.9 million, compared to revenue of $3.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2023 after its acquisition in July 2023.

Costs of Revenue

The costs of revenue for the CFN Business consist primarily of labor, fees paid for production of content for clients and the costs of placement of the content on various platforms. Cost of revenue also includes products sold, shipping costs and direct labor in the Ranco Business.

The Company’s cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 were higher than those in the corresponding year in 2023 due to Ranco’s inventory purchasing activities for a full year 2024 as compared to its results after the July 2023 acquisition.

Operating Expenses

The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses were $7.7 million in 2024 as compared to $5.6 million. The increase was primarily attributable to full year operations of Ranco, including personnel, rent, legal and professional fees, insurance and other expenses incurred to run the business. In 2023, the Company wrote off $8.7 million in goodwill.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense was $1.8 million in 2024 compared to $1.3 million in 2023. In 2024, other expense was primarily driven by $2.1 million in interest due to the Company’s notes and amortization of debt discount, partially offset by $250,000 in other income from settlement of our litigation with Constellation and gain on extinguishment of debt of $89,051. In 2023, other expense was primarily driven by $1.6 million in interest due to the Company’s notes and amortization of debt discount, partially offset by $179,650 in other income from payroll tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2024, we had $373,834 in unrestricted cash and $7,630,295 in notes payable.

The Company had a working capital deficit of $19,240,445 and an accumulated deficit of $78,952,223 as of December 31, 2024. The Company also had a net loss of $4,289,362 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, growing its existing business acquired under the Ranco Agreement, managing and reducing operating and overhead costs and continuing to pursue strategic transactions and opportunities including launching an e-commerce network focused on the sale of general wellness CBD, products.

These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The following is a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Climate Change

Our opinion is that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any material effect on our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s account receivables are due from sales billed to customers. The Company also maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make payments. The Company periodically reviews these estimated allowances, including an analysis of the customers’ payment history and creditworthiness, the age of the trade receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect

a customer’s ability to make payments as well as historical collection trends for its customers as a whole. Based on this review, the Company specifically reserves for those accounts deemed uncollectible or likely to become uncollectible. When receivables are determined to be uncollectible, principal amounts of such receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized, but no less than quarterly.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of five years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Goodwill

The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed arising from business acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis at the reporting unit level.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Share-Based Payment

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or ASC 718. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Common stock awards

The Company has granted common stock awards to non-employees in exchange for services provided. The Company measures the fair value of these awards using the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the awards granted. The fair value of the awards is recognized on a straight-line basis as services are rendered. The share-based payments related to common stock awards for the settlement of services provided by non-employees is recorded on the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss in the same manner and charged to the same account as if such settlements had been made in cash.

Warrants

In connection with certain financing, consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance, if there is not a service period.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024 (the end of the period covered by this report).

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and 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 our assets, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, 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 prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rule of the SEC, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024.

Auditor Attestation

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the year ended December 31, 2024, in order to remediate the segregation of duties and other deficiencies, we hired accounting consultants to perform our account reconciliations and other day-to-day accounting requirements. The internal control structure was also documented and assessed in the areas of financial reporting and disclosure controls as it relates to our continuing operations. In addition, we revised and improved the use of our systems for getting appropriate approvals for purchases and other activities that require authorization. However, our ability to file timely reports is heavily dependent on having the necessary financial resources to pay consultants and other service providers involved with performing key elements of our disclosure and financial reporting controls. As a result, we have assessed our disclosure controls and controls over financial reporting as ineffective.

Item 9B. Other Information

Given the timing of the events, the following information is included in this Form 10-K pursuant to Item 3.02 “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities” in lieu of filing a Form 8-K.

In connection with the extension, the Company issued 600,000 shares of its common stock to the noteholder in consideration of the extension and in lieu of $60,000 of interest accrued on the promissory note through March 31, 2025. The shares were issued under the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as not involving a public offering.

PART III

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

The following table sets forth the names, ages and principal position of our executive officers and directors as of December 31, 2024:

Name	Age	Position
Brian Ross	50	Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer
Mario Marsillo, Jr.	56	Director, Chief Investment Officer
Allen Park	38	Chief Operating Officer and Controller
Anness Ziadeh	34	Chief Sales and Marketing Officer
Rami Abi	37	Chief Strategy Officer

Brian Ross. Mr. Ross has served as our President, Chief Executive Officer and director since November 2005, and as our Chairman of the Board since March 2013. He previously served as Senior Vice President of Business Development for iMall, Inc. from 1994 and became Director of Investor Relations in June 1997. iMall, Inc. was acquired by Excite@Home in October 1999. Mr. Ross then served as a Business Development Manager in Excite@Home’s E-Business Services Group until December 1999. After the sale of iMall, Mr. Ross was a founding investor of GreatDomains Inc. which was sold in October 2000 to Verisign. Between 2000 and 2003, he was Director of Business Development for Prime Ventures Inc., a leading Venture Partner firm focusing on early stage companies in Southern California. In July 2004, Mr. Ross became a founding investor in E-force Media, a diversified online marketing company where he acted as interim Director of Business Development. Mr. Ross attended UC Santa Barbara.

We believe that Mr. Ross is qualified to serve as a director for the following reasons: Mr. Ross, who is one of our founders, is an Internet industry veteran with over two decades of experience. He has been our Chief Executive Officer for more than ten years and he has a proven track record with the aforementioned companies, which were all operating in online marketing solutions and e-commerce. Additionally, Mr. Ross has played an important role in the development and growth of various Internet companies, taking them from start-up companies through the various stages of their growth cycle.

Mario Marsillo Jr. Mr. Marsillo has been a director since April 2014, our Director of Corp Development since August 1, 2019 until August 2021, and our Chief Investment Officer since August 2021. Mr. Marsillo was until June 30, 2019 the Managing Director of Private Equity for Network 1 Financial Securities Inc., or Network 1, a New Jersey based FINRA member firm offering a wide array of investment banking services and has been with Network 1 since 2010. Prior to his association with Network 1, Mr. Marsillo acquired Skyebanc, Inc., a registered broker dealer, with a specialty towards private equity, and served as its Vice President of Private Equity and Business Development. Mr. Marsillo held the Series 7, 63 79, and 24 FINRA qualifying examinations. Mr. Marsillo attended the City University of New York.

We believe Mr. Marsillo is qualified to serve as a director because Mr. Marsillo is a sophisticated businessman with investment banking and private equity experience, was an early investor in us and has previously assisted us in raising capital.

Allen Park. Allen Park has served as our Chief Operating Officer since July 1, 2023 and Controller since October 1, 2023. Mr. Park is a seasoned executive with diverse industry experience. Prior to the acquisition of the assets of RAN CoPacking Solutions LLC by the Company, Mr. Park served as CEO of RAN CoPacking Solutions since June 2021 and previously held leadership roles at APACK Agency from 2019 till the middle of 2021. Mr. Park has also led vape brands and a manufacturing company as CEO. With a global perspective from his China-based business specializing in manufacturing, sourcing, and procurement, Mr. Park possesses expertise in accounting, management, sales, supply chain management, manufacturing, human resources, business strategy, finance, and operations. Notably, Mr. Park has successfully completed multiple government manufacturing and sourcing contracts, showcasing his project management prowess and track record of delivering results.

Anness Ziadeh. Anness “Ness” Ziadeh has served as our Chief Sales and Marketing Officer since July 1, 2023. Mr. Ziadeh, prior to cofounding RAN CoPacking Solutions in 2021, was the COO at CBDfx, a leading CBD

products company, driving operational excellence and strategic initiatives from 2018 to 2021. Under Mr. Ziadeh’s leadership, CBDfx achieved significant growth and solidified its market leader position. Mr. Ziadeh previously founded and sold a successful vape website, showcasing his entrepreneurship and business acumen. With expertise in scaling businesses, he navigates complex challenges and drives sustainable growth. His diverse experience spans operations management, digital marketing, and strategic planning. Prior to CBD and vape industries, Mr. Ziadeh accumulated over a decade of experience in financial management, decision-making, and business operations. Leveraging his experience, Mr. Ziadeh fosters innovation and operational efficiency in the evolving business landscape.

Rami Abi. Rami Abi has served as our Chief Strategy Officer since July 1, 2023. Mr. Abi is a seasoned professional with a track record of success in building brands and marketing. With a keen eye for spotting new opportunities, Mr. Abi has a wealth of experience in business development and is one of the cofounders of RAN CoPacking Solutions in 2021.

Director Independence

As our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace, we are not subject to the rules of any national securities exchange which require that a majority of a listed company’s directors and specified committees of the Board of Directors meet independence standards prescribed by such rules.

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 two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and will require additional capital to continue as a going concern. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 audit 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2024 and 2023

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

CFN Enterprises Inc., formerly known as Accelerize Inc., or “the Company”, is a Delaware corporation incorporated on November 22, 2005. Effective October 22, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change its corporate name to CFN Enterprises Inc.

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement or the Emerging Growth Agreement with Emerging Growth, LLC, or the Seller or Emerging Growth, pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets from the Seller related to its sponsored content and marketing business for a purchase price consideration consisting of $420,000 in cash, 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 3,000 shares of Series B preferred stock with a total stated value of $3,000,000 which bears interest at 6% per annum and is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price to be mutually agreed in the future, without voting rights or a liquidation preference except with respect to default interest. The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The closing of the purchase of the assets pursuant to the Emerging Growth Agreement occurred on June 20, 2019.

On August 23, 2021, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with CNP Operating, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, or CNP Operating, and the owners of all of the equity interests of CNP Operating, or the Owners, whereby the Company acquired 100% of CNP Operating from the Owners in exchange for an aggregate of 354 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The securities were issued pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On August 25, 2021, the transaction was closed and CNP Operating became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. CNP Operating is a cannabidiol manufacturer. In the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, the Company took steps to wind down the operations of CNP Operating and focus on the CFN Business.

On December 6, 2021, we effected a reverse split of our outstanding common stock in the ratio of 1-for-15, or the Reverse Stock Split. All share amounts retrospectively reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.

On July 1, 2023, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Ranco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or Ranco, entered into an asset purchase agreement, or the Asset Purchase Agreement (“Ranco Agreement” with RAN CoPacking Solutions LLC, a California limited liability company, or the Seller and the members of the Seller (collectively, the Founders). The assets of the Seller acquired by Ranco consist of assets for co-packing and white label manufacturing services, including comprehensive solutions for third party logistics (3PL) related areas such as storage, order fulfillment, solutions for custom packaging and hardware needs for many different industries, and media and design services, along with strategic marketing support, to help clients establish and enhance their brand presence in the market, or the Purchased Assets.

Also on July 1, 2023, Ranco entered into the Packwoods Private Label Services and Intellectual Property Licensing Agreement, or the Licensing Agreement, with PW Industries LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, or PW, RS Distributions LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or RS, and Packaging Innovations LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, or PI, and together with PW and RS, the Licensors, for the exclusive manufacturing, packaging and distribution of, and wholesale and retail sales of a variety hemp-based inhalable (pre-roll and vaporizer), edible products, and disposable nicotine-based inhalable vaporizer products, and the purchase of packaging materials to be used with Packwoods-branded cannabis products (containing more than 0.3% delta-9 THC by weight) and the distribution of those packaging materials to licensed cannabis manufacturers designated by PW, using the Licensor’s licensed property for a 5 year exclusive term, subject to certain exclusions.

The Company’s current operations consist of the sponsored content and marketing business, or the CFN Business, from the assets acquired pursuant to the Emerging Growth Agreement, and the business of Ranco, or the Ranco Business.

F-8

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations for the next 12 months as of the date these financial statements are issued.

Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital in the form of debt or equity, managing and reducing operating and overhead costs and continuing to pursue strategic transactions and opportunities including launching an e-commerce network focused on the sale of general wellness CBD, products.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries CNP Operating, CNP of Wyoming, LLC and Ranco, LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or 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 date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results will differ from those estimates. Included in these estimates are assumptions about collection of accounts receivable, useful life of fixed assets and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, borrowing rate considered for operating lease right-of-use asset and related operating lease liability, and assumptions used in Black-Scholes valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates under one reporting segment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company has restricted cash as a result of its corporate card program through its bank, which requires collateral placed in a money market account. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had restricted cash balances of $0 and $20,448, respectively, included as a component of total cash and restricted cash as presented on the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s account receivables are due from sales billed to customers. Collateral is currently not required. The Company also maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make payments. The Company periodically reviews these estimated allowances, including an analysis of the customers’ payment history and creditworthiness, the age of the trade receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to make payments as well as historical collection trends for its customers as a whole. Based on this review, the Company specifically reserves for those accounts deemed uncollectible or likely to become uncollectible. When receivables are determined to be uncollectible, principal amounts of such receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $1,964,327 and $796,251, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $1,396,210 and $356,349, respectively, in bad debt expense.

F-9

Inventory

The Company’s inventory consists of finished goods acquired for its Ranco business. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, all inventory consisted of disposable nicotine-based inhalable vaporizer products purchased from overseas. The inventory is valued at the lower of cost (specific identification) or estimated net realizable value. As of December 31, 2024, the Company valued the inventory at $3,376,189.

Concentration of Credit Risks

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents accounts are held at a financial institution and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, up to $250,000. From time-to-time, the Company’s bank balances exceed the FDIC insurance limit. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

Concentrations

The Company had one customer which accounted for 55% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, three customers accounted for 65% of the Company’s revenues. The Company may be negatively affected by the loss of one of these customers.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenues when both parties to the contract have approved the contract, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, and collectability of consideration is probable. Payment terms vary by client and the services offered.

CFN Business

Subsequent to the closing of the Emerging Growth Agreement on June 20, 2019, the Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of promotional service packages to its customers ranging from 3 to 6 months. The Company offers different packages tailored to the type and stage of the potential customer, such as public companies looking to increase their shareholder base, as well as private companies potentially looking to go public and attract capital and publicity. The services provided by the Company include advertising, publishing of interviews and articles across its network and featuring of client content on its newsletters and social media. The packages all have fixed prices that are billed monthly over the terms of the agreement in even amounts. The Company recognizes revenue for its performance obligation associated with its contracts with customers over time as work is performed, which is deemed to occur evenly throughout the duration of the contract. This also reflects the pattern in which costs are incurred on performing the contracts. To the extent revenue recognized on contracts at each period end exceeds collections, the amounts are reflected as accounts receivable. To the extent collections on contracts at each period end exceeds revenue recognized, the amounts are reflected as deferred revenue.

F-10

Ranco Business

The Company performs services including white label manufacturing and co-packing for customers. Customers will drop off their product and the Company will perform the services via their employees and contractors. When the services are complete, the Company has satisfied its performance obligations. Revenue is recognized at this point in time.

The Company will order products that are manufactured overseas, such as custom boxes, packaging and hardware. These products are generally shipped from overseas to the customer. When these products are shipped out from the manufacturer, the Company has satisfied its performance obligations. Revenue is recognized at this point in time.

Lastly, the Company provides certain shipping and third-party logistics services for customers. Once the products have arrived from overseas to the Company’s warehouse, the Company has satisfied its performance obligations which was the underlying shipping and logistics services. Revenue is recognized at this point in time.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following is a disaggregation of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively:

	Year Ended
	December 31,
	2024	2023
Services (CFN and Ranco services)	$3,908,382	$1,450,850
Products	13,248,239	1,158,676
Shipping and logistics	3,060,013	928,106
	$20,216,634	$3,537,632

Contract Liabilities

In some instances, customers provide payment before the Company has satisfied its performance obligations. These amounts are recorded to deferred revenue. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $115,000 and $484,212, respectively in deferred revenue.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes direct labor and product costs. Cost of revenues also includes inbound and outbound shipping, freight and delivery costs.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling fees are presented in revenue. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of revenue.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

F-11

Level 1:	Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:	Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3:	Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and lines of credit approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these items. The Company’s notes payable approximate their fair value due to the market rate of interest on the notes.

The Company’s contingent consideration recorded in connection with the Ranco acquisition (see Note 3) is a Level 3 liability. The liability is valued using a probability weighted analysis of the respective earn out provisions.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for acquisitions in which it obtains control of one or more businesses as a business combination. The purchase price of the acquired businesses is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recognized as goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments, in the period in which they are determined, to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. If the assets acquired are not a business, the Company accounts for the transaction or other event as an asset acquisition. Under both methods, the Company recognizes the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity. In addition, for transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired entity over the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.

Impairment

Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested annually for impairment and upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances. The annual goodwill impairment test allows for the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. An entity may choose to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some or all of its reporting units or an entity may bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit and proceed directly to step one of the quantitative impairment test. If it is determined, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of a reporting unit is, more likely than not, less than its carrying value, the quantitative impairment test is required.

The quantitative impairment test calculates any goodwill impairment as the difference between the carrying amount of a reporting unit and its fair value, but not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. It is the Company’s practice, at a minimum, to perform a qualitative or quantitative goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter every year.

The Company’s goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed arising from business acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for potential impairment on an annual basis at the reporting unit level.

As of December 31, 2024, there was no impairment. As of December 31, 2023, the Company examined the projected undiscounted cash flows of its Ranco reporting unit and determined to record an impairment loss of $8,676,430.

Contingent Consideration

The Company records a contingent consideration liability relating to earn the Company’s shares included in its acquisition agreements. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration is recorded using significant unobservable measures and other fair value inputs and is therefore classified as a Level 3 financial instrument.

The Company estimates and records the acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration as part of purchase price consideration for acquisitions. Additionally, each reporting period, the Company estimates changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and recognizes any change in fair in the consolidated statement of operations. The estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration requires very subjective assumptions to be made of future operating results, discount rates and probabilities assigned to various potential operating result scenarios. Future revisions to these assumptions could materially change the estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration and, therefore, materially affect the Company’s future financial results. The contingent consideration liability is to be settled with the issuance of shares of common stock once contingent provisions set forth in respective acquisition agreements have been achieved. Upon achievement of contingent provisions, respective liabilities are relieved and offset by increases to common stock and additional paid-in capital in the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Ranco Earnout

The Ranco Agreement contains an earn out provision providing for the issuance of (i) 8 million shares of Company common stock to be issued upon Ranco achieving $19 million in gross revenue attributable to the Purchased Assets and a net profit of $3.9 million within the twelve month period beginning three months from the closing of the Acquisition, or the First Earnout Period, and (ii) 8 million shares of Company common stock to be issued upon Ranco achieving $29 million in gross revenue attributable to the Purchased Assets and a net profit of $5.9 million within the twelve month period beginning on the day immediately following the end of the First Earnout Period.

The Company utilized a probability weighted scenario based on the earnout provisions above and determined the fair value of the contingent consideration was $208,000, which is a Level 3 financial instrument There was no change to the fair value for the contingent consideration for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses relating to continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $189,259 and $59,140, respectively.

Comprehensive Loss

The Company follows FASB ASC 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since the Company has no items of other comprehensive income, comprehensive loss is equal to net loss.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method). As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no outstanding stock options, 11,988,500 outstanding warrants and 3,500 shares of preferred stock which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effects were anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for each of the periods presented.

Leases

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”) using the modified retrospective method. This accounting standard requires a lessee to recognize an asset and liability for most leases on its balance sheet.

The Company elected the practical expedient method permitted under the transition guidance, which allows a carryforward of historical lease classification, the assessment on whether a contract was or contains a lease, and the initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to July 1, 2019. The Company also elected to recognize the associated lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement and leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not included in lease liabilities or ROU asset. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, a rate which approximates the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and is recorded net of any lease incentives received. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Lease agreements may contain variable costs such as common area maintenance, insurance, real estate taxes or other costs. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. Lease agreements generally do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Over the lease term, the Company uses the effective interest rate method to account for the lease liability as lease payments are made and the ROU asset is amortized in a manner that results in straight-line expense recognition.

NOTE 3: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

RAN CoPacking Solutions LLC

Ranco acquired the Purchased Assets and assumed certain liabilities of the Seller or the Acquisition, in exchange for an aggregate of 40 million shares of Company common stock, or the Acquisition Shares, and $1 million in cash consideration, payable in quarterly installments in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) Ranco’s gross revenues attributable to the Purchased Assets from and after the closing, net of all accrued debts, liabilities, and obligations of the Ranco and all amounts necessary or advisable to reserve, designate, or set aside for actual or anticipated costs, payments, liabilities, obligations, and claims with respect to the Purchased Assets, all as determined in good faith by Ranco, and (ii) $250,000, until paid in full, or the Cash Consideration. The Acquisition Shares were issued pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Asset Purchase Agreement also contains an earn out provision providing for the issuance of (i) 8 million shares of Company common stock to be issued upon Ranco achieving $19 million in gross revenue attributable to the Purchased Assets and a net profit of $3.9 million within the twelve month period beginning three months from the closing of the Acquisition, or the First Earnout Period, and (ii) 8 million shares of Company common stock to be issued upon Ranco achieving $29 million in gross revenue attributable to the Purchased Assets and a net profit of $5.9 million within the twelve month period beginning on the day immediately following the end of the First Earnout Period.

F-15

The Company evaluated the Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to ASC 805 and ASU 2017-01, Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Company first determined that the Seller met the definition of a business as it includes inputs and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The Seller’s results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The acquisition method of accounting requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be measured at their estimated respective fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. Goodwill recognized in connection with this transaction represents primarily the potential economic benefits that the Company believes may arise from the acquisition The purchase price allocation is preliminary and could be significantly revised as a result of additional information obtained regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed and revisions of estimates of fair values of tangible assets and related deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company will finalize its valuation and the allocation of the purchase price, along with required retrospective adjustments, if any, within a year following the acquisition date.

Total fair value of the purchase price consideration as of July 1, 2023 was determined as follows:

Cash (due to seller)	$1,000,000
Common stock	8,000,000
Contingent consideration	208,000
Purchase price consideration	$9,208,000

On July 1, 2023, the Company issued 40,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement for a fair value of $8,000,000, or $0.20 per share.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company owes the Seller $1,000,000 in cash consideration. The amount was recorded as a due to seller liability on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, no payments were made.

In accordance with the Earn Out provisions per the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company determined an initial fair value of $208,000 based on the fair value of the shares at the acquisition date and probabilities of the respective Earn Out terms. There was no change in fair value of the contingent consideration at December 31, 2024.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company has made a preliminary allocation of the purchase price in regard to the acquisition related to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the purchase date. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation:

Cash	$134,060
Accounts receivable	175,340
Deposits	297,269
Goodwill	8,676,430
Right of use asset	2,272,059
Accounts payable	(48,430)
Current portion of right of use liability	(538,243)
Right of use of liability	(1,760,485)
Purchase price consideration	$9,208,000

Goodwill is primarily attributable to the go-to-market synergies that are expected to arise as a result of the acquisition and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. As of December 31, 2023, the Company examined the projected undiscounted cash flows of its Ranco reporting unit and determined to record a full impairment of the goodwill of $8,676,430. As of December 31, 2024, there was no impairment.
