General

QuoteMedia, Inc.

We are a sole source for a wide array of market information and services, including streaming stock market data feeds, research and analysis information, content applications, portfolio management systems, software products, corporate investor relations provisioning, news services, mobile apps, and custom development. Our portfolio management products are provided on a SaaS (software as a service) model, as are our other interactive content and data APIs.

We have created a scalable system that aggregates, manages, and streams information from the stock exchanges and from other information and content feeds across both the Web and dedicated telecommunication lines. Because QuoteMedia is a comprehensive single-source market data provider, our clients are not required to deal with multiple data vendors, many of which continue to employ outdated infrastructures and delivery technologies. This allows our clients to license comprehensive financial information applications and raw data more efficiently and cost-effectively.

QuoteMedia offers clients the advantages of a sole source for a broad range of data, information, and services, including:

	·	Streaming Real-time Data Feeds
	·	Dynamic Content Web Displays
	·	Data APIs, XML and JSON Data
	·	News Feed Aggregation and Delivery
	·	Mobile App Solutions
	·	Complete Portfolio Management
	·	Corporate Investor Relations Solutions
	·	Research Information Supply
	·	Custom Software Application Development

Our data delivery solutions are fast, lightweight, reliable, and easy to implement across all platforms. Our products are technologically advanced, providing a framework for quick implementation, seamless client integration and complete customization.

We are a United States reporting public company that was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 1999. Our shares are quoted on the OTCQB tier of the OTC Markets under the trading symbol QMCI. Our corporate head office is located at 17100 East Shea Boulevard, Suite 230, Fountain Hills, Arizona 85268, and our telephone number is (602) 830-1443.

Products and Services

QuoteMedia has developed a full range of financial data and market information solutions which are licensed to our clients on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Our products and services are divided into three main categories: Data Feed Services; Interactive Web Content and Data APIs; and Portfolio Management and Real-Time Quote Systems.

Data Feed Services

QuoteMedia offers comprehensive, low latency, tick-by-tick enterprise level streaming market data feeds delivered over the Internet or via dedicated telecommunication lines, as well as supplemental fundamental, historical, and analytical data, keyed to the same symbology which provides a complete market data solution to our customers. Currently, QuoteMedia’s Data Feed services include complete coverage of North American exchanges and over 70 exchanges worldwide. Data Feeds coverage includes equities, options, futures, commodities, currencies, mutual funds, ETFs, and indices. The data is normalized for ease of use and is provided in a wide range of formats and delivery methods.

QuoteMedia has also created Quotestream Connect^TM, a hybrid of our existing Data Feed Services, and our Portfolio Management Systems. It is a new method of delivering real-time data feeds to individual users to power 3^rd party applications. In most cases, this allows QuoteMedia to retain Vendor of Record status with the exchanges – resulting in significant savings for our clients in resources and exchange fees.

Interactive Content and Data APIs

QuoteMedia’s proprietary financial software applications and widgets (QMod^TM) comprise a unique suite of custom Web technologies that combine the power and depth of established financial databases with the flexibility and efficiency of the Web to deliver customized high-quality content to clients around the world.

Our Interactive Content and Data APIs include the following:

Quote Modules – allow users to enter information and look up various data points on equities, funds, rates, currencies, and the markets.

The data returned is compact, customizable, and incorporates comprehensive information, including charts, news, historical stock prices, market depth, filings, insiders, financials, and other information.

QMod is an extensible market data component JavaScript library used to deliver market data content to Web platforms powered by JSON back-ends. With extensibility in mind, QMod can be utilized to build custom applications on demand for clients as well as continue to improve existing and new components with ease. The resulting widgets are mobile-ready because they automatically re-size and optimize based on the type of device they are viewed on – whether a laptop, tablet, or any model of mobile phone. And, unlike competitive products, QMod is SEO friendly, providing self-generating, automatically updating content that is optimized for search engine indexing – whereas the content and associated links delivered through most competitors’ widgets are essentially invisible to search engine web crawlers.

Portfolio Management Systems

QuoteMedia offers three leading edge portfolio managements systems: Quotestream™ Desktop and Mobile; Quotestream Professional; and a Web Portfolio Management product. Each of these systems can be implemented independently, or they can be employed in conjunction with each other to provide a complete portfolio management solution for both nonprofessionals and professionals.

We leverage our technical talent and innovative infrastructure across multiple client platforms, thus creating an economical, efficient, and scalable system that can manage and deliver information application capabilities to an unlimited number of entities from data centers and content feeds across the Internet and over dedicated lines. Our data feeds have among the lowest latency of any available in the market and are developed and delivered using technology that is more current than that used by many major competitors in this market. Our marketing strategy is based on the following key competitive advantages:

Superior Products – Our goal has always been to create the best products on the market. We develop all our products in-house and take pride in creating quality applications. Our products stand out for their superior design, user-friendliness, ease of implementation, customizability, reliability, data speed, accuracy, and comprehensiveness.

Custom Development – QuoteMedia’s ability to provide complete custom design and development services differentiates us from our competitors. We can create custom market data applications and software engineered precisely to our clients’ specifications, and the speed with which we are able to take a product from concept to deliverable truly sets us apart.

Table of Contents

Data Speed and Quality – Our connections to the world’s exchanges for equities and derivatives have most sources of latency removed allowing us to deliver extremely fast, accurate, and reliable data.

Single Source Provider – Clients are eager to acquire premium market data feeds, financial applications, streaming solutions, and news and research information from a sole source provider. Rather than having to license applications, information and market data from multiple sources, our clients enjoy the benefits of dealing with a single comprehensive market data supplier.

Cutting Edge Data Delivery Technology - We use state-of-the-art hardware and software systems for maximum speed and efficiency. This provides us with a distinct advantage over our competitors, most of whom use outdated data delivery technologies based on legacy style data networks.

Effective Marketing – We have implemented a marketing strategy that focuses on multiple markets for our products and services, from individual nonprofessional end users to corporate and institutional clients and their customers.

Low Infrastructure Costs - Because of the unique technological advancements in data delivery developed by our company, our distribution model, and the strategic partnerships that are in place, we have maintained very low corporate overhead. All our development is completed in-house, resulting in significant cost efficiencies. This allows us to focus our resources on data management, data acquisition, customer satisfaction, and business development activities. Our low-cost base of development and operation also allows us to maintain very competitive pricing.

Competition

Many companies provide financial market data and related information. Companies such as Bloomberg and LSEG Data & Analytics and Factset are some of the data providers in this highly competitive marketplace.

While there are many financial data providers, what differentiates us from others is that we offer clients a comprehensive solution for stock market-related information provisioning with more advanced technologies than employed by most of our competitors. Our diversity of technical expertise, agile responsiveness to custom corporate requirements and development needs, and proven commitment to superior delivery technologies have established QuoteMedia as a frontrunner in the financial market data industry.

QuoteMedia's array of products benefit clients with an exceptional number of strong technical differentiators in embedded, fully private-labeled, and seamlessly integrated environments which combine to offer strong market differentiation.

Trademarks, Domain Names, and Intellectual Property

We own the trademarks for “QuoteMedia”, “Quotestream” and “QMod”, the domain names www.quotemedia.com; www.quotestream.com; and www.quotestream.ca. We will continue to own and protect these key assets into the future.

We protect our other intellectual property by a combination of copyrights, trademarks and confidentiality agreements with our employees, customers, and other agents.

Regulatory Issues

We are not subject to any special governmental regulation concerning our supplying of products and services to the marketplace, and we believe we are complying in all material respects with all existing regulations governing other aspects of our businesses.

Employees

We currently have a total of 118 full-time employees, with 8 located in the United States and 110 located in Canada. Our employees are not members of any union, nor have we entered into any collective bargaining agreements. We believe that we have a good relationship with our employees. With the successful implementation of our business plan, we may continue to hire additional employees during fiscal 2025 to handle anticipated growth in the areas of administration, programming, sales, marketing, and customer care.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

You should carefully consider the following factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this report, in evaluating our company and our business.

Catastrophic events outside of our control may impact on our business. The U.S. and global markets have, from time to time, experienced periods of disruptions due to a natural disaster, such as a tsunami, power shortage, or flood; public health crises, such as a pandemic or epidemic; political crises, such as terrorism, war, or other conflict; or other events outside of our control that may occur and adversely impact our business and operating results. The conflict in Ukraine has caused instability in global economies. We will closely monitor the impact of the conflict in Ukraine on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact team members, customers, suppliers, and global markets. The extent to which Ukraine conflict may impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

New tariffs or taxes could impact our business. We rely on foreign development, customer service, and lead generation services. The new tariffs proposed by the U.S. government do not apply to digital services, however a discriminatory (non-tariff) tax could be applied to income on digital services performed by foreign companies which would increase our costs. Tariffs could also lead to a general slowdown in economic activity, which could negatively impact our business. The extent to which tariffs may impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Declining activity levels in the securities markets or the failure of market participants could lower demand for our services. Our business is dependent upon the health of the financial markets as well as the financial health of the participants in those markets. The recent uncertainty in the global financial markets could result in lower activity levels, including lower trading volumes and a substantial reduction in the number of issuances of new securities. It could also lead to the collapse of some market participants. Some of the demand for financial market data is dependent upon activity levels in the securities markets, while other demand is static and is not dependent on activity levels. If a downturn in the global financial markets results in a prolonged, significant decline in activity levels or continues to have an adverse impact on the financial condition of our customers, our revenue could be materially adversely affected.

The impact of cost-cutting pressures across the industries we serve could lower demand for our services. During 2024 we saw customers continue their focus on containing or reducing costs because of the more challenging market conditions, and this trend may continue into 2025. Customers within the financial services industry that strive to reduce their operating costs may continue to reduce their spending on financial market data and related services. If customers elect to reduce their spending with us, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Alternatively, customers may use other strategies to reduce their overall spending on financial market data services by consolidating their spending with fewer vendors, by selecting vendors with lower-cost offerings or by self-sourcing their need for financial market data. If customers elect to consolidate their spending on financial market data services with other vendors instead of us, if we cannot price our services as aggressively as the competition, or if customers elect to self-source their needs, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Consolidation of financial services within and across industries, or the failure of financial services firms could lower demand for our services. Over the past few years there has been consolidation among some participants in the financial markets and the collapse of others. We continue to deliver services to several customers currently involved in the process of a merger or acquisition. As consolidation occurs and synergies are achieved, there may be fewer potential customers for our services. There are two types of consolidations: consolidations within an industry, such as banking; and across industries, such as consolidations of insurance, banking, and brokerage companies. When two companies that separately subscribe to or use our services combine, they may terminate or reduce duplicative subscriptions for our services, or if they are billed on a usage basis, usage may decline due to synergies created by the business combination. A large number of cancellations, or lower utilization on an absolute dollar basis resulting from consolidations, could have a material adverse effect on our revenue. In addition, if financial services firms accounting for a material percentage of our revenues or profit cease operations because of bankruptcy and the assets of such customers are not acquired by successor entities, such events could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Table of Contents

Adverse capital and credit market conditions could limit our access to capital. The capital and credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for the past few years. Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the capital and credit markets may limit our access to capital required to operate and grow our business. As such, we may be unable to raise capital or bear an unattractive cost of capital which could reduce our financial flexibility.

If we are unable to maintain relationships with key suppliers and providers of market data, we will not be able to provide our services to our customers. We depend on key suppliers for the data we provide to our customers. Some of this data is exclusive to particular suppliers, such as national stock exchanges, and cannot be obtained from other suppliers. In other cases, although the data may be available from secondary sources, the secondary source may not be as adequate or reliable as the primary or preferred source, or we may not be able to obtain replacement data from an alternative supplier without undue cost and expense, if at all. We generally obtain data via license agreements. The disruption of any license agreement with a major data supplier could disrupt our operations and lead to an adverse impact on our results of operations.

A prolonged outage at one of our data centers that we share could result in reduced revenue and the loss of customers. Our customers rely on us for time-sensitive, up-to-date data that is reliably delivered. Our business is dependent on our ability to rapidly and efficiently process substantial quantities of data and transactions on our computer-based networks and systems. Our computer operations and those of our suppliers and customers are vulnerable to interruption by fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, acts of war, internet failures, computer viruses and other events beyond our reasonable control. We maintain multiple redundant data centers to minimize the risk that any such event will disrupt operations. In addition, we maintain insurance for such events. However, the business interruption insurance we carry may not be sufficient to compensate us fully for losses or damages that may occur because of such events. Any such losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business. Although we seek to minimize these risks through security measures, controls and redundant data centers, there can be no assurance that such efforts will be successful or effective.

We compete against companies with greater financial resources. We operate in highly competitive markets in which we compete with other distributors of financial and business information and related services. We expect competition to continue to be rigorous. Some of our competitors and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we have. These competitors may be able to expand product offerings and data content more effectively, and to respond more rapidly than us to new or emerging technologies, changes in the industry or changes in customer needs. They may also be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products. Increased competition in the future could limit our ability to maintain or increase our market share or maintain our margins and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.

New product offerings by competitors or new technologies could cause our services to become obsolete. We operate in an industry that is characterized by rapid and significant technological change, frequent new services, data content and coverage enhancements, and evolving industry standards. Without the timely introduction of new services and data content and coverage enhancements, our services could become technologically obsolete or inadequate over time, in which case our revenue and operating results would suffer. We expect our competitors to continue to improve the performance of their current services, to enhance data content and coverage and to introduce new services and technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). These competitors may adapt more quickly to new technologies, changes in the industry and changes in customers’ requirements than we can. If we fail to adequately anticipate customers’ needs and technological trends accurately, we will be unable to introduce new services into the market and our ability to compete will be materially adversely impacted. Further, if we are unsuccessful at developing and introducing new services that are appealing to customers, with acceptable prices and terms, or if any such new services are not made available in a timely manner, our ability to compete would be materially adversely impacted. In both cases our ability to generate revenue could suffer and our business and operating results could be materially adversely affected. We will need to successfully enhance or add to current services to effectively expand into new geographic areas. In addition, new services, data content and coverage that we may develop and introduce may not achieve market acceptance and would result in lower revenue.

We may need additional capital with which to implement our business plan, and there is no agreement with any third party to provide such capital. Implementing our business plan may require additional equity or debt financing. If we require additional funding or determine it appropriate to raise additional funding in the future, there is no assurance that adequate funding, whether through additional equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, will be available when needed or on terms acceptable to us. Further, any such funding may result in significant dilution to existing stockholders. The inability to obtain sufficient funds from operations and external sources when needed may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We depend on key personnel and expect to hire additional personnel. Our performance substantially depends on the services of David M. Shworan, President and Chief Executive Officer of QuoteMedia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of our company. The loss of Mr. Shworan, or our other key employees, could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our future success will also depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled management, technical engineers, sales and marketing personnel, and finance and technical personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain such personnel. The loss of the services of any key personnel, the inability to attract or retain qualified personnel in the future, or any delays in hiring required personnel, particularly technical engineers, and sales personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We may need to spend significant amounts of money to protect against security breaches. A party who can circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our Internet operations. We may be required to expend significant capital and resources to protect against the threat of such security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches. Consumer concern over Internet security has been, and could continue to be, a barrier to commercial activities requiring consumers to send their credit card information over the Internet. Computer viruses, break-ins, or other security problems could lead to misappropriation of proprietary information and interruptions, delays, or cessation in service to our customers. Moreover, until more comprehensive security technologies are developed, the security and privacy concerns of existing and potential customers may inhibit the growth of the Internet as a merchandising medium. Were these risks to occur, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

The success of our anticipated future growth depends upon our ability to successfully manage the growth of our proposed operations. We expect to experience growth in our number of employees and scope of operations. Our future success will depend upon our ability to successfully manage the expansion of our operations. Our ability to manage and support our growth effectively will depend on our ability to implement adequate improvements to financial and management controls, reporting, order entry systems, and other procedures and hire sufficient numbers of financial, accounting, administrative, and management personnel. Our expansion and the resulting growth in the number of our employees will result in increased responsibility for both existing and new management personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, attract, and retain experienced accounting and financial personnel. Our future operating results will depend on the ability of our management and other key employees to implement and improve our systems for operations, financial control, and information management and to recruit, train, and manage our employee base. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve or manage any such growth successfully or to implement and maintain adequate financial and management controls and procedures. Any inability to do so may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our future success depends upon our ability to address potential market opportunities while managing our expenses to match our ability to finance operations. This need to manage our expenses may place a significant strain on our management and operational resources. If we are unable to manage our expenses effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Penny stock rules may make buying or selling our common stock difficult. Our common stock in the past has been, and from time to time in the future may be, subject to the "penny stock" rules as promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In the event that no exclusion from the definition of a "penny stock" under the Exchange Act is available, then any broker engaging in a transaction in our common stock will be required to provide each customer with:

	·	A risk disclosure document.

	·	Disclosure of market quotations, if any.

	·	Disclosure of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; and

	·	Monthly account statements showing the market values of our securities held in the customer's accounts.

The bid and offer quotation and compensation information must be provided prior to effecting the transaction and must be contained in the customer's confirmation. Certain brokers are less willing to engage in transactions involving "penny stocks" because of the additional disclosure requirements described above, which may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to dispose of their shares.

Investors should not expect to receive a dividend in the future. We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not currently anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Instead, we intend to apply the earnings to the expansion and development of our business.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

The Company's information technology, communication networks, system applications, accounting and financial reporting platforms and related systems are integral to the operation of the business. The Company utilizes these systems, among others, for financial analysis, management, and reporting, and for various other aspects of the business.

The Company's cybersecurity strategy focuses on detection, protection, incident response, security risk management and mitigation, and resiliency of the cybersecurity infrastructure.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

We are a developer of financial software and a distributor of market data and research information to online brokerages, clearing firms, banks, media properties, public companies, and financial service corporations worldwide. Through the aggregation of information from many direct data, news, and research sources, we offer a comprehensive range of solutions for all market-related information provisioning requirements.

We have three general product lines: Interactive Content and Data APIs, Data Feed Services, and Portfolio Management Systems. For financial reporting purposes, our product categories share similar economic characteristics and share costs; therefore, they are combined into one reporting segment.

Table of Contents

Our Interactive Content and Data APIs consist of a suite of software applications that provide publicly traded company and market information to corporate clients via the Internet. Products include stock market quotes, fundamentals, historical and interactive charts, company news, filings, option chains, insider transactions, corporate financials, corporate profiles, screeners, market research information, investor relations provisions, level II, watch lists, and real-time quotes. All our content solutions are completely customizable and embedded directly into client Web pages for seamless integration with existing content. We are continuing to develop and launch new modules of QMod, our new proprietary Web delivery system. QMod was created for secure market data provisioning as well as ease of integration and unlimited customization. Additionally, QMod delivers search engine optimized (SEO) ready responsive content designed to adapt on the fly when rendered on mobile devices or standard Web pages – automatically resizing and reformatting to fit the device on which it is displayed.

Our Data Feed Services consist of raw streaming real-time market data delivered over the Internet or via dedicated telecommunication lines. We provide supplemental fundamental, historical, and analytical data, keyed to the same symbology, which provides a complete market data solution offered to our customers. Currently, QuoteMedia’s Data Feed services include complete coverage of North American exchanges and over 70 exchanges worldwide. For financial reporting purposes, Data Feed Services revenue is included in the Interactive Content and Data APIs revenue totals.

Our Portfolio Management Systems consist of Quotestream, Quotestream Mobile, Quotestream Professional, and our Web Portfolio Management systems. Quotestream Desktop is an Internet-based streaming online portfolio management system that delivers real-time and delayed market data to both consumer and corporate markets. Quotestream has been designed for syndication and private branding by brokerage, banking, and Web portal companies. Quotestream’s enhanced features and functionality – most notably tick-by-tick true streaming data, significantly enhanced charting features, and a broad range of additional research and analytical content and functionality – offer a professional-level experience to nonprofessional users.

Quotestream Professional is specifically designed for use by financial services professionals, offering exceptional coverage and functionality at extremely aggressive pricing. Quotestream Professional features broad market coverage, reliability, complete flexibility, ultra-low-latency tick-by-tick data, as well as completely customizable screens, advanced charting, comprehensive technical analysis, news, and research data.

Quotestream Mobile is a true companion product to the Quotestream desktop products (Quotestream and Quotestream Professional) – any changes made to portfolios in either the desktop or mobile application are automatically reflected in the other.

A key feature of QuoteMedia’s business model is that all our product lines generate recurring monthly licensing revenue from each client. Contracts to license Quotestream to our corporate clients, for example, typically have a term of one to five years and are automatically renewed unless notice is given at least 90 days prior to the expiration of the current license term. We also generate Quotestream revenue through individual end-user licenses on a monthly or annual subscription fee basis. Interactive Content and Data APIs and Market Data Feeds are licensed for a monthly, quarterly, annual, or semi-annual subscription fee. Contracts to license our Financial Data Products and Data Feeds typically have a term of one to five years and are automatically renewed unless notice is given 90 days prior to the expiration of the contract term.

Business Environment and Trends

While our licensed-based revenue is generally recurring in nature, the uncertainty caused by the recent market downturn and rising inflation may result in some clients delaying purchasing decisions, product and service implementations or cancel or reduce spending with us.

New tariffs proposed by the U.S. government could lead to a general slowdown in economic activity, which could negatively impact our business.

Events in Ukraine and Russia have continued to cause disruptions in the global financial markets. While we do not have any operations or customers in Ukraine or Russia, we will continue to monitor the situation as a prolonged conflict could impact our business.

Table of Contents

Approximately 39% of our revenue and 38% of our expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. The Canadian dollar depreciated 2% against the U.S. dollar when comparing the average exchange rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 versus the comparative 2023 year. This decreased both Canadian dollar revenues and expenses once translated into U.S. dollars, but because our Canadian dollar revenue and expenses are evenly matched, the exchange rate fluctuation had minimal impact on our net income and cash flows.

Our revenue decreased 1% in 2024 versus the comparative 2023 year. For fiscal 2025, based on revenue already under contract we expect to return to positive revenue growth and expect a significant improvement to the net loss we incurred in 2024.

Plan of Operation

For 2025 we plan to continue to expand our product lines and improve our infrastructure. We plan to continue to add more features and data to our existing products and release newer versions with improved performance and flexibility for client integration. We plan to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) tools, where possible, to automate this process. This expansion is expected to result in both increased revenue and costs for the fiscal year 2025.

We will maintain our focus on marketing Quotestream for deployments by brokerage firms to their retail clients and continue our expansion into the investment professional market with Quotestream Professional. We also plan to continue the growth of our Data Feed Services client base, particularly through the addition of major new international data feed coverage, as well as new data delivery products.

QuoteMedia will continue to focus on increasing the sales of its Interactive Content and Data APIs, particularly in the context of large-scale enterprise deployments encompassing solutions ranging across several product lines. QMod is a major component of this strategy, given the broad demand for mobile-ready, SEO-friendly Web content.

Important development projects for 2025 include broad expansion of data and news coverage, including the addition of a wide array of international exchange data and news, video feeds, expansion of fixed-income coverage, and the introduction of several new and upgraded market information products.

New deployments of our trade integration capabilities, which allow our Quotestream applications to interact with our brokerage clients’ back-end trade execution and reporting platforms (enabling on-the-fly trade execution and tracking of holdings) are underway and will continue to be a priority in the coming year.

We are also creating new proprietary data sets, analytics, and scoring mechanisms. We are now aggregating data direct from the sources to produce data sets that are proprietary to QuoteMedia. This allows us to offer our clients new data products and lower our product cost structure as we replace some of our existing data providers with our own lower cost data.

Opportunistically, efforts will be made to evaluate and pursue the development of additional new products that may eventually be commercialized by our company. Although not currently anticipated, we may require additional capital to execute our proposed plan of operation. There can be no assurance that such additional capital will be available to our company on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Our future performance will be subject to a number of business factors, including those beyond our control, such as a continuation of market uncertainty and evolving industry needs and preferences, as well as the level of competition and our ability to continue to successfully market our products and technology. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our marketing strategy, continue our revenue growth, or maintain profitable operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis discusses our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue recognition

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), we recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

We exercise judgment in assessing the creditworthiness of our customers and therefore in our determination of whether collectability is reasonably assured. Should changes in conditions cause us to determine that these criteria are not met for future transactions, revenue recognized in future reporting periods could be adversely affected.

Capitalized Application Software

Capitalized software costs include costs incurred in connection with the internal development of software. These costs relate to software used by subscribers to access, manage and analyze information in the Company’s databases. Capitalized costs associated with internally developed software are amortized over three years which is their estimated economic life. We exercise significant judgment in determining that capitalized application software costs meet the criteria established in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. The most significant estimates are the allocation of our development personnel’s time working on capitalized internally developed software.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company capitalized $3,399,893 and $ 3,203,045 of costs, respectively, related to upgrades and enhancements made to existing software applications. Software applications are used by the Company’s subscribers to access, manage and analyze information in the Company’s databases. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, amortization expenses associated with the internally developed application software were $2,911,259 and $2,448,510, respectively. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the remaining book value of the capitalized application software was $5,041,544 and $4,552,910.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). This standard improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements

Table of Contents

Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The ASU requires disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. Additionally, the amendment requires a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in the relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and to disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. For public business entities, the new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments prospectively for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than the additional disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure (“ASU 2023-09”). This standard provides transparency to income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 for public entities with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 will be applied prospectively in the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Total Portfolio Management System revenue decreased by 1% when comparing the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023. Corporate Quotestream decreased by 1% due to a decrease in the number of customers offset by an increase in average revenue per customer.

Individual Quotestream revenue also decreased 1% for the year ended December 31, 2024, from the comparative period in 2023 due mainly to a decrease in total subscribers offset by an increase in pricing for Individual Quotestream effective January 1, 2024. The depreciation of the Canadian dollar, discussed above in the “Business Environment and Trends” section, also impacted Individual Quotestream revenue as approximately 43% of our Individual Quotestream revenue is earned in Canadian dollars.

Interactive Content and Data APIs revenue decreased by 1% for the year ended December 31, 2024, from the comparative period in 2023 due mainly to a decrease in the average revenue per client.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit Summary

	Years ended December 31
	2024			2023			Change ($)			Change(%)

Cost of revenue	$	9,868,830		$	9,263,073		$	605,757			7	%

Gross profit	$	8,873,422		$	9,644,652		$	(771,230	)	(8		%)

Gross margin %		47	%		51	%

Our cost of revenue consists of fixed and variable stock exchange fees and data feed provisioning costs. The cost of revenue also includes amortization of capitalized internal-use software costs. We capitalize the costs associated with developing new products during the application development stage.

Our cost of revenue increased 7% for the year ended December 31, 2024, from the comparative period in 2023. This was mainly due to increased amortization expenses associated with internally developed application software resulting from our major growth initiative, which included investing in infrastructure, new product development, data collection, and the expansion of our global market coverage.

Overall, the cost of revenue increased as a percentage of sales, as evidenced by our gross margin percentage which decreased to 47% in 2024 from 51% in 2023.

Total operating expenses	$	10,154,706	$	9,233,239	$	921,467		10	%

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of sales and customer service salaries, investor relations, travel, and advertising expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased 7% when comparing the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023. The increase is a result of additional sales personnel hired since the comparative period to support our product growth initiatives and salary increases for existing personnel. The increase was offset by the 2% depreciation of the Canadian dollar from the comparative period as most of our sales personnel are in Canada.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries expense, office rent, insurance premiums, and professional fees. General and administrative increased 9% when comparing the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023. The increase is mainly due to an increase in bad debt expenses.

Software Development

Software development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the design, programming, and testing of our software applications during the preliminary project stage. Software development expenses also include costs incurred to maintain our software applications.

Table of Contents

Software development expenses increased 15% for the year ended December 31, 2024, when compared to fiscal 2023, primarily due to new personnel hired since the comparative period to improve our infrastructure, security, and business continuity management. The increase in software development expenses was also due to a decrease in the percentage of total development costs capitalized during 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in development personnel costs was offset by the 2% depreciation of the Canadian dollar from the comparative period as most of our development personnel are in Canada.

We capitalized $3,399,893 of development costs for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $3,203,045 in 2023. These costs relate to the development of application software used by subscribers to access, manage, and analyze information in our databases. Capitalized costs associated with application software are amortized over their estimated economic life of three years.

Other Income (Expenses) Summary

	Years ended December 31,
	2024			2023

Foreign exchange gain (loss)	$	103,736		$	(45,017	)
Interest expense		(2,508	)		(1,846	)
Total other income (expenses)	$	101,228		$	(46,863	)

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss)

We incurred a foreign exchange gain of $103,736 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a foreign exchange loss of $45,017 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Foreign exchange gains and losses arise from the re-measurement of Canadian dollar monetary assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars. We have a net Canadian dollar liability; therefore, we incur a foreign exchange gain when the Canadian dollar depreciates from the period beginning date, and a loss when the Canadian dollar appreciates. Gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations between transaction and settlement dates for foreign currency denominated transactions are also included in foreign exchange gains and losses.

Interest Expense

Interest expense relates primarily to the interest expense associated with our finance leases and was relatively unchanged from the comparative period. Interest expense of $2,508 was incurred for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $1,846 incurred for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Provision for Income Taxes

In 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $146,981 compared to income tax expense of $2,966 in 2023.

Net Income for the Period

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $1,327,037 compared to net income of $361,584 for the year ended December 31, 2023. Basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share were ($0.01) and $0.00 for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash totaled $585,319 at December 31, 2024, as compared with $342,014 at December 31, 2023, an increase of $243,305. Net cash of $3,680,860 was provided by operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to adjustments for non-cash charges and the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and deferred revenue, offset by our net loss and an increase in accounts receivable. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $3,437,555 resulting primarily from capitalized application software costs. If circumstances dictate, however, we have the flexibility to reduce development spending to maintain a strong liquidity position.

Table of Contents

We typically operate with a working capital deficit. As of December 31, 2024, our working capital deficit is $ 3,476,362, however current liabilities include $1,704,743 in deferred revenue and the expected costs necessary to realize the deferred revenue are minimal.

Based on the factors discussed above, we believe that our cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our current operations for at least the next 12 months. However, implementing our business plan may require additional financing. Additional financing may come from future equity or debt offerings that could result in dilution to our stockholders. Further, current adverse capital and credit market conditions could limit our access to capital. We may be unable to raise capital or bear an unattractive cost of capital that could reduce our financial flexibility.

Our long-term liquidity requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate at which we expand our business and whether we do so internally or through acquisitions. To the extent that the funds generated from operations are insufficient to fund our activities in the long term, we may be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available or that, if it is available, it will be on terms acceptable to us.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Currently, approximately 39% of our consolidated revenue and 38% of our expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. Since currently our Canadian dollar revenue and expenses are closely matched, our consolidated cashflows are not significantly impacted by foreign exchange fluctuations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we did not have any unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, or other off-balance sheet arrangements.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that we record, process, summarize, and report information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of QuoteMedia, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, and affected by our Board of Directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) 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 of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the Audit Committee, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2024, and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described below.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses described below our management has concluded that our consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented herein.

The following material weaknesses were identified during the preparation and review of the current period financial statements:

There is a lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Sarbanes-Oxley Rule 404 (c).

Table of Contents

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the last quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report, there have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

After the date of their evaluation, there have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any corrective action regarding significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Directors, officers, and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon our review of the copies of such forms that we received during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that each person who at any time during the fiscal year was a director, officer, or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our common stock complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during such fiscal year.

Code of Ethics

Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines; a Code of Business Conduct/Ethics, Code of Ethics for the CEO and Senior Financial Officers, and any amendments or waivers thereto; an Audit Committee Charter; and any other corporate governance materials contemplated by SEC or applicable regulations.

1999 Stock Option Plan

During March 1999, we adopted, and our stockholders approved, the 1999 Stock Option Plan to advance the interests of our company by encouraging and enabling key employees to acquire a financial interest in our company and link their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of our stockholders. A total of 400,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the 1999 plan. In September 1999, this number was increased to 2,500,000. As of December 31, 2024, 1,144,817 shares of our common stock had been issued upon exercise of options granted under the 1999 plan, and there were outstanding options to acquire 1,355,183 shares of our common stock under the 1999 plan.

The 1999 plan is administered by our Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by our board. Our board or the committee has the authority to grant options, determine the purchase price of shares of our common stock covered by each option, determine the persons who are eligible under the 1999 plan, interpret the 1999 plan, determine the terms and provisions of an option agreement, and make all other determinations deemed necessary for the administration of the 1999 plan. Options may be granted to any director, officer, key employee, or any advisory board member of our company. Incentive stock options may not be granted to a director, consultant, or advisory board member that is not an employee of our company.

The price of any incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The price of any incentive stock options granted to a person who owns more than 10% of our common stock may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The option price for non-incentive stock options may not be less than 50% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Options may be granted for terms of up to, but not exceeding, ten years from the date of grant; however, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to an individual who beneficially owns 10% more of the stock of our company, the exercise period shall not exceed five years from the date of grant. Our Board of Directors may accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding options at any time for any reason.

Table of Contents

In the event of any change in the number of shares of our common stock, the number of shares of common stock covered by outstanding options and the price per share of such options will be adjusted accordingly to reflect any such changes. Similar changes will also be made if our company engages in any merger, consolidation, or reclassification in which it is the surviving entity. In the event that we are not the surviving entity, each option shall terminate provided that each holder will have the right to exercise during a ten-day period ending on the fifth day prior to such corporate transaction. In the event of a change of control, our board or the committee may terminate each option, provided that each holder receives the amount of cash equal to the difference between the exercise price of each option and the fair market value of each share of stock subject to such option.

Our board may suspend, terminate, modify, or amend the 1999 plan provided that, in certain instances, the holders of much of our common stock issued and outstanding approve the amendment.

2003 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan

Our Board of Directors has approved our 2003 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2003 plan, approved by our stockholders at the annual meeting held on February 14, 2003. The purpose of the 2003 plan is to assist our company in attracting, motivating, retaining, and rewarding high-quality executives and other employees, directors, officers, and independent contractors by enabling such persons to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in our company in order to strengthen the mutuality of interests between such persons and our stockholders, and providing such persons with annual and long-term performance incentives to expend their maximum efforts in the creation of stockholder value.

At December 31, 2024, there are 15,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2003 plan. As of December 31, 2024, 2,350,372 shares of common stock had been issued upon exercise of options granted under the 2003 plan, and there were 4,720,000 options outstanding under the 2003 plan.

Eligibility and Administration

The persons eligible to receive awards under the 2003 plan are the officers, directors, employees, and independent contractors of our company. The 2003 plan is to be administered by a committee designated by our Board of Directors consisting of not less than two directors, each member of which must be a "nonemployee director" as defined under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and an "outside director" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code. However, except as otherwise required to comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, or Section 162(m) of the Code, our Board of Directors may exercise any power or authority granted to the committee. Subject to the terms of the 2003 plan, the committee or our Board of Directors is authorized to select eligible persons to receive awards, determine the type and number of awards to be granted and the number of shares of common stock to which awards will relate, specify times at which awards will be exercisable or settleable (including performance conditions that may be required as a condition thereof), set other terms and conditions of awards, prescribe forms of award agreements, interpret and specify rules and regulations relating to the 2003 plan, and make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2003 plan.

Stock Options and SARs

The committee or our Board of Directors is authorized to grant stock options, including both incentive stock options, or ISOs, which can result in potentially favorable tax treatment to the participant, and nonqualified stock options, and SARs entitling the participant to receive the amount by which the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of exercise (or defined "change in control price" following a change in control) exceeds the grant price of the SAR. The exercise price per share subject to an option and the grant price of a SAR are determined by the committee, but in the case of an ISO must not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. For purposes of the 2003 plan, the term "fair market value" means the fair market value of common stock, awards, or other property as determined by the committee or our Board of Directors or under procedures established by the committee or our Board of Directors. Unless otherwise determined by the committee or our Board of Directors, the fair market value of common stock as of any given date shall be the closing sales price per share of common stock as reported on the principal stock exchange or market on which common stock is traded on the date as of which such value is being determined or, if there is no sale on that date, then on the last previous day on which a sale was reported. The maximum term of each option or SAR, the times at which each option or SAR will be exercisable, and provisions requiring forfeiture of unexercised options or SARs at or following termination of employment generally are fixed by the committee or our Board of Directors, except that no option or SAR may have a term exceeding ten years. Options may be exercised by payment of the exercise price in cash, shares that have been held for at least six months, outstanding awards, or other property having a fair market value equal to the exercise price, as the committee or our Board of Directors may determine from time to time. Methods of exercise and settlement and other terms of the SARs are determined by the committee or our Board of Directors. SARs granted under the 2003 plan may include "limited SARs" exercisable for a stated period following a change in control of our company, as discussed below.

Table of Contents

Restricted and Deferred Stock

The committee or our Board of Directors is authorized to grant restricted stock and deferred stock. Restricted stock is a grant of shares of common stock that may not be sold or disposed of, and that may be forfeited in the event of certain terminations of employment, prior to the end of a restricted period specified by the committee or our Board of Directors. A participant granted restricted stock generally has all the rights of a stockholder of our company, unless otherwise determined by the committee or the Board. An award of deferred stock confers upon a participant the right to receive shares of common stock at the end of a specified deferral period, subject to possible forfeiture of the award in the event of certain terminations of employment prior to the end of a specified restricted period. Prior to settlement, an award of deferred stock carries no voting or dividend rights, or other rights associated with share ownership, although dividend equivalents may be granted, as discussed below.

Bonus Stock and Awards in Lieu of Cash Obligations

The committee or our Board of Directors is authorized to grant shares of common stock as a bonus free of restrictions, or to grant shares of common stock or other awards in lieu of company obligations to pay cash under the 2003 plan or other plans or compensatory arrangements, subject to such terms as the committee or our Board of Directors may specify.

Acceleration of Vesting; Change in Control

The committee or our Board of Directors may in the case of a "change of control" of our company, as defined in the 2003 plan, in its discretion, accelerate the exercisability, the lapsing of restrictions, or the expiration of deferral or vesting periods of any award (including the cash settlement of SARs and "limited SARs" which may be exercisable in the event of a change in control). In addition, the committee or our Board of Directors may provide in an award agreement that the performance goals relating to any performance-based award will be deemed met upon the occurrence of any "change in control." Upon the occurrence of a change in control, if so provided in the award agreement, stock options and limited SARs (and other SARs which so provide) may be cashed out based on a defined "change in control price," which will be the higher of

	·	The cash and fair market value of property that is the highest price per share paid (including extraordinary dividends) in any reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, or sale of substantially all assets of our company; or

	·	The highest fair market value per share (generally based on market prices) at any time during the 60 days before and 60 days after a change in control.

For purposes of the 2003 plan, the term "change in control" generally means:

	·	Approval by stockholders of any reorganization, merger, or consolidation or other transaction or series of transactions if persons who were shareholders immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation or other transaction do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 50% of the combined voting power of the reorganized, merged, or consolidated company's then outstanding, voting securities, or a liquidation or dissolution of our company or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our company (unless the reorganization, merger, consolidation or other corporate transaction, liquidation, dissolution or sale is subsequently abandoned),

	·	A change in the composition of our Board of Directors such that the persons constituting the Board of Directors on the date the award is granted, or the Incumbent Board, and subsequent directors approved by the Incumbent Board (or approved by such subsequent directors), cease to constitute at least a majority of our Board of Directors, or

	·	The acquisition by any person, entity or "group", within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act, of more than 50% of either the then outstanding shares of our common stock or the combined voting power of our company's then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors excluding, for this purpose, any acquisitions by (1) our company, (2) any person, entity, or "group" that as of the date on which the award is granted owns beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act) of a controlling interest, or (3) any employee benefit plan of our company.

Table of Contents

Amendment and Termination

Our Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the 2003 plan or the committee's authority to grant awards without further stockholder approval, except stockholder approval must be obtained for any amendment or alteration if such approval is required by law or regulation or under the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system on which shares of common stock are then listed or quoted. Thus, stockholder approval may not necessarily be required for every amendment to the 2003 plan which might increase the cost of the 2003 plan or alter the eligibility of persons to receive awards. Stockholder approval will not be deemed to be required under laws or regulations, such as those relating to ISOs, that condition favorable treatment of participants on such approval, although our Board of Directors may, in its discretion, seek stockholder approval in any circumstance in which it deems such approval advisable. Unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors, the 2003 plan will terminate at such time as no shares of common stock remain available for issuance under the 2003 plan and we have no further rights or obligations with respect to outstanding awards under the 2003 plan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of QuoteMedia Inc.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of QuoteMedia Inc. (the “Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in series A redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Capitalized Internal-Use Software Development Costs

As described in Note 1(f) and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company capitalizes certain costs relating to the development of internal software. These costs may be related to new products as well as existing products when the costs will result in significant additional functionality. Management applied significant judgment in assessing whether the assets met the required criteria for initial capitalization, including the assessment of expected future benefits from the projects to be capitalized, technical feasibility and commercial viability. The value of development costs capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $3,399,893.

F-2

Table of Contents

The principal considerations for our determination that capitalized development costs is a critical audit matter was the significant judgment required by management in assessing whether the assets met the required criteria for initial capitalization, stage of development, and nature of costs that qualify for capitalization. This resulted in a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating the audit evidence relating to management’s process of identifying projects and the stage of development and related development activities within those projects that qualify for capitalization, in accordance with the applicable accounting standards.

We responded to this matter by performing procedures over capitalized software development costs. Our audit work in relation to this included, but was not restricted to, the following:

	·	Obtained an understanding of the Company's process to identify development projects and development costs qualifying for capitalization;

	·	Evaluated management's listing of active development projects by obtaining an understanding of the nature of the project and the nature of additions of the project, through discussions with development personnel to assess the reasonableness as to whether the activities were demonstrative of the capitalization criteria in accordance with the applicable accounting standard;

	·	Obtained a schedule compiled by management to compute the capitalized costs by project and performed testing over the completeness and mathematical accuracy of the hours and payroll rates included within the schedule;

	·	Tested a sample of the Company’s capitalized costs by validating the nature of the activities performed and time devoted to capitalizable activities through discussion with individual software developers and project managers;

	·	Agreed the calculated amounts for capitalization to underlying payroll data to evaluate the reasonableness of hourly rates used for cost capitalization; and

	·	Assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Nature of operations

Quotemedia, Inc. (the “Company”) is a software developer and distributor of financial market data and related services to a global marketplace. The Company specializes in the collection, aggregation, and delivery of both delayed and real-time financial data content via the Internet. The Company develops software components that deliver dynamic content to banks, brokerage firms, financial institutions, mutual fund companies, online information and financial portals, media outlets, public companies, and corporate intranets.

b) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the operations of QuoteMedia, Ltd., a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of the Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

c) Foreign currency translation and transactions

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of all the Company's operations. Foreign currency asset and liability amounts are remeasured into U.S. dollars at end-of-period exchange rates, except for equipment and intangible assets, which are remeasured at historical rates. Foreign currency income and expenses are remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during the year, except for expenses related to balance sheet amounts remeasured at historical exchange rates. Because the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, exchange gains and losses arising from remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are included in income in the period in which they occur.

d) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents include money market investments that have an original maturity of three months or less and are redeemable on demand. The Company maintains its accounts primarily at one financial institution. At times throughout the year, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balances may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

e) Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. The Company believes that the historical loss information it has compiled is a reasonable base on which to determine expected credit losses for trade receivables held at December 31, 2024, because the composition of the trade receivables at that date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit-loss percentages (i.e., the similar risk characteristics of its customers and its credit practices have not changed significantly over time). The allowance for doubtful accounts was $330,000 and $225,000 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $478,565 and $117,973, respectively.

f) Property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software development costs

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Furniture and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective leases or useful lives, whichever is shorter. Retirements, sales, and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in income. There were no fixed assets retired during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Capitalized software development includes costs incurred in connection with the internal development of software. These costs relate to software used by subscribers to access, manage and analyze information in the Company’s databases. The majority of the capitalized costs relate to a portion of the salaries and other related costs for the Company’s software engineers. Costs related to new software development, or enhancements to existing software, are capitalized once the software is technologically and economically feasible. Capitalized costs associated with internally developed software are amortized over three years which is their estimated economic life. Amortization begins once the software is ready for its intended use.

Depreciable and amortizable assets are evaluated for impairment upon a significant change in the operating environment. In these circumstances, if an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is based on discounted future cash flows. Useful lives are periodically evaluated to determine whether events or circumstances have occurred which indicate the need for revision. There were no impairments recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

g) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share considers shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive common shares (such as stock options and redeemable convertible preferred stock outstanding). Anti-dilutive securities represent potentially dilutive securities which are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as their impact would be anti-dilutive. Convertible instruments with non-market-price contingencies are excluded from diluted earnings per share until all the required non-market-price based contingencies are met. The effect of a stock split or reverse split is applied retroactively to preceding periods.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

h) Income taxes

Income taxes are provided in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740, Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between income for financial statement purposes and income for tax purposes as well as operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax expenses or recovery result from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Any interest and penalties are recorded as part of income tax expense.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, it is likely that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred taxes are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates. Interest and penalties, if applicable, would be recorded in operations. The Company recorded income tax expense of $146,981 and $2,966 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively (see Note 8).

i) Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the year end and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the year. Such estimates include (i) fair values used to test goodwill and capitalized development costs for impairment; (ii) the amount of allowance for doubtful accounts, (iii) the capitalization of software development costs, (iv) income taxes, (v) the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, (vi) the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets and (vii) stock-based compensation. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

j) Software development expenses

Software development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred to maintain the Company’s software applications. The Company expensed $3,167,712 and $2,757,031 in software development costs during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Software development costs are costs that did not meet the capitalization criteria for internal-use software development costs (see Note 6).

k) Revenue

The Company generates substantially all of its revenue from subscriptions for access to its software products and related support. The Company licenses financial market data information on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. The Company’s products and services are divided into two main categories:

Interactive Content and Data Applications

	·	Proprietary financial software applications and streaming market data feeds
	·	Subscriptions are typically sold for a fixed fee and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription.

Portfolio Management and Real-Time Quote Systems

Corporate Quotestream (Business-to-Business)

	o	Web-delivered, embedded applications providing real-time, streaming market quotes and research information targeted to both professionals and non-professional users.
	o	Revenue is typically earned based on customer usage.

Individual Quotestream (Business-to-Consumer)

	o	Web-delivered, embedded applications providing real-time, streaming market quotes and research information targeted to non-professional users.
	o	Subscriptions are typically sold for a fixed fee and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription.

The Company does not provide its customers with the right to take possession of its software products at any time.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

	·	Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
	·	Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
	·	Determination of the transaction price
	·	Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
	·	Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation

The Company executes a signed contract with the customer that specifies services to be provided, the payment amounts and terms, and the period of service, among other terms.

QUOTEMEDIA, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Contract Balances

The Company’s corporate customers are invoiced based on fee schedules that are agreed upon in each customer contract. Individual Quotestream customers are charged a subscription fee based on their subscription agreement. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations have been satisfied, which is the date the customer has access to the contracted market data. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or deferred revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing. Upfront set-up or development fees are deferred and recognized evenly from the date performance obligations have been met to the end of the service term of the contract, as set-up and development fees are not distinct from the market data service contracts to which they relate.

The Company considers the following factors when determining if collection of a fee is reasonably assured: customer creditworthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. If these factors do not indicate collection is reasonably assured, revenue is not recognized until collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue primarily consists of customer support personnel-related compensation expenses, including salaries, bonuses, benefits, payroll taxes, and stock-based compensation expense, as well as expenses related to third-party hosting costs, software license fees, amortization of capitalized software development costs, amortization of acquired technology intangible assets, and allocated overhead.

l) Financial instruments

Financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and preferred stock warrant liability. The Company believes that the fair value of financial instruments approximates the recorded book value of those instruments due to the short-term nature of the instruments or stated interest rates that approximate market interest rates.

m) Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation awards are measured at their fair value on the date of grant with the expense recognized, net of estimated forfeitures, over the related service or performance period on a straight-line basis. The Company used the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of common stock options and warrants.

n) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-makers ("CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company's CODM are the Chief Executive Officers of Quotemedia, Inc. and Quotemedia Ltd., who review the Company's operations and manage its business as a single operating segment.

o) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). This standard improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure (“ASU 2023-09”). This standard provides transparency to income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 for public entities with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 will be applied prospectively in the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than the additional disclosures.

4. LEASES

The Company has operating leases for corporate offices. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 7 to 18 months. Management determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease assets and liabilities are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease expenses are included in General and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company elected the short-term lease exception and therefore only recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term greater than one year. When determining lease terms, the Company factors in options to extend or terminate leases when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For certain leases the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases at December 31, was as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In 2024, the Company recorded Arizona income tax expense of $144,074 and Canadian income tax expense of $2,907. The Company does not have any material Canadian deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities.

As of December 31, 2024, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax reporting purposes amounting to approximately $4,000,000 which expire in varying amounts through the year 2043.

The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset (liabilities) at December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

	2024			2023

Tax effect of net operating loss carry-forward – U.S.	$	845,685		$	1,742,266

A valuation allowance has been recognized to offset the entire effect of the Company’s net deferred tax asset as the realization of this deferred tax benefit is uncertain. The valuation allowance increased $770,085 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years (2017-2024) in these jurisdictions. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.

9. REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

a) Redeemable convertible preferred shares

The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 non-designated preferred shares at the Board of Directors’ discretion.

A total of 550,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock are designated as “Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock.” The Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock has no dividend or voting rights.

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, 123,685 shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock were outstanding. No shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock were issued or redeemed during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Redemption Rights

Holders of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock shall have the right to convert their shares into shares of common stock at the rate of 83.33 shares of common stock for one share of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, at any time following the date the closing price of a share of common stock on a securities exchange or actively traded over-the-counter market has exceeded $0.30 for ninety (90) consecutive trading days. The conversion rights are subject to the availability of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment is made to any holders of any shares of common stock, the holders of shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to be paid first out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of the Company’s capital stock whether such assets are capital, surplus, or earnings, an amount equal to $25.00 per share of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock.

Reclassification of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock resulting from Amendment to Redemption Rights

Prior to April 26, 2024, 1,000 Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock could be redeemed at the holder’s option at the liquidation value of $25 per share if the cash balance of the Company as reported at the end of each fiscal quarter exceeds $400,000. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 480-10-S99, because a limited number of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock could be redeemed at the holder’s option if the above criteria are met, it was classified as mezzanine equity and not permanent equity.

On April 26, 2024, the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock was amended removing the above redemption right, at no cost to the Company, resulting in a change in the classification of Series A redeemable preferred stock from mezzanine equity to permanent equity. In addition, the amendment resulted in a change to the classification of warrants to purchase shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (“preferred stock warrants”) from preferred stock warrant liability to additional paid-in capital. There was no impact on the consolidated statements of operations resulting from the amendment.

b) Common stock

No shares of common stock were issued during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

c) Stock Options and Warrants

1999 Stock Option Plan

During March 1999, the Company adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the 1999 Stock Option Plan to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging and enabling key employees to acquire a financial interest in the Company and link their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. A total of 400,000 shares of common stock were initially reserved for issuance under the 1999 plan. In September 1999, this number was increased to 2,500,000. As of December 31, 2024, 1,144,817 shares of the Company’s common stock had been issued upon exercise of options granted under the 1999 plan, and there were outstanding options to acquire 1,355,183 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 1999 plan.

2003 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved the 2003 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2003 plan, approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting held on February 14, 2003. The purpose of the 2003 plan is to assist the Company in attracting, motivating, retaining, and rewarding high-quality executives and other employees, directors, officers, and independent contractors by enabling such persons to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in the Company in order to strengthen the mutuality of interests between such persons and the Company’s stockholders, and providing such persons with annual and long-term performance incentives to expend their maximum efforts in the creation of stockholder value.

FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation, requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The impact of forfeitures that may occur prior to vesting is also estimated and considered in the amount recognized.

At December 31, 2024, there were 15,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2003 plan. As of December 31, 2024, 2,350,372 shares of common stock had been issued upon exercise of options granted under the 2003 plan, and there were 4,720,000 options outstanding under the 2003 plan.

For the years ended December 31,2024 and 2023, estimated stock-based compensation expense (recovery) related to all the Company’s stock-based awards was comprised as follows:

	2024		2023
Sales and marketing expense (recovery)	$	4,150	$	(17,602	)

At December 31, 2024, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted to purchase common stock.

Management calculates the fair value of stock options and warrants granted to purchase common stock under the provisions of FASB ASC 718 using the Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:

	2024			2023
Expected dividend yield		-			-
Expected stock price volatility		73	%		97	%
Risk-free interest rate		4	%		4	%
Expected life of options (years)		2.50			1.96
Weighted average fair value of options and warrants granted	$	0.17		$	0.21

All stock options and warrants to purchase common stock have been granted with exercise prices equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant. At December 31, 2024, the aggregate intrinsic value of options and warrants outstanding and exercisable was $2,116,926. The intrinsic value of stock options and warrants are calculated as the amount by which the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the exercise price of the option or warrant.

Preferred Stock Warrants

Pursuant to the December 28, 2017 Compensation Agreement with David M. Shworan, the President and Chief Executive Officer of QuoteMedia, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Quotemedia, Inc., the Company issued Mr. Shworan warrants to purchase shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Compensation Preferred Stock Warrants”) in lieu of a cash salary. From the period December 28, 2017 to December 31, 2019 the Company issued a total of 31,250 Compensation Preferred Stock Warrants at an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Also pursuant to the Compensation Agreement with Mr. Shworan, on December 28, 2017 the Company issued Mr. Shworan warrants to purchase up to 382,243 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share (“Liquidity Preferred Stock Warrant”). The Liquidity Preferred Stock Warrants only vest and become exercisable on the consummation of a Liquidity Event as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Designation of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. The probability of the liquidity event performance condition is not currently determinable or probable; therefore, no compensation expense has been recognized as of December 31, 2024. The probability is re-evaluated each reporting period. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was $7,480,496 in unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to these Liquidity Preferred Stock Warrants. Since the Liquidity Preferred Stock Warrants only vest and become exercisable on the consummation of a Liquidity Event which is currently determined not to be probable, the Company is also unable to determine the weighted-average period over which the unrecognized compensation cost will be recognized.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were a total of 413,493 preferred stock warrants outstanding with a weighted average remaining contractual life of 23 years. As of December 31, 2024, 31,250 preferred stock warrants were exercisable. No preferred stock warrants were exercised for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Reclassification of Preferred Stock Warrant Liability resulting from Amendment to Redemption Rights

As discussed in note 9 a), the amendment to the redemption rights for the Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock resulted in a change to the classification of preferred stock warrants on April 26, 2024. The preferred stock warrant liability of $611,563 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. There was no impact on the consolidated statements of operations resulting from the amendment.

Fair Value Measurement of Compensation Preferred Stock Warrants

The Company adheres to ASC 820, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.

ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

	·	Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company could access.

	·	Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

	·	Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

There was no Preferred Stock Warrant liability at December 31, 2024 as the preferred stock warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital in 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Preferred Stock Warrant Liability was $611,563. The estimated fair value of the Preferred Stock Warrant liability is determined using Level 3 inputs. The Preferred Stock Warrants were valued using a bond plus option framework reflecting the cash flow of the Preferred Stock Warrants and used a probability weighted sum of the value in each potential year before expiration to estimate the fair value of the Preferred Stock Warrants. Volatility was based on public peer companies, adjusted for size and leverage. Risk-free rate was selected based on term matched Treasury securities. Bond repayment depends on the Company’s timely access to the required cash and as such, is discounted at the Company’s assumed borrowing rate. This model was run based on the Management's expected term and probabilities of a liquidity event. The key inputs for the framework were as follows as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Valuation Inputs	2024		2023
Expected Time to Expiration (years)		N/A		25.05
Stock Price on Valuation Date		N/A	$	0.21
Peer Volatility		N/A		52.31	%
Cash Flow Discount Rate		N/A		12.93	%

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income during the year by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, excluding the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents include redeemable convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted shares outstanding is calculated using the treasury stock method by adding to the weighted shares outstanding any potential shares of common stock from stock options and warrants that are in-the-money. For outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock, potential common shares are determined using the if-converted method. The calculations for basic and diluted net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

	2024			2023

Net (loss) income	$	(1,327,037	)	$	361,584

12. REVENUE CONCENTRATION

A significant portion of the Company’s revenue has historically been derived from customers outside of the United States, primarily in Canada. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, revenue from Canada accounted for approximately 39% and 38%, respectively, of total revenue.

13. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates in one operating segment and one reportable segment, distributor of financial market data. The Company specializes in the collection, aggregation, and delivery of both delayed and real-time financial data via the Internet. The Company develops software components that deliver dynamic content to banks, brokerage firms, financial institutions, mutual fund companies, online information and financial portals, media outlets, public companies, and corporate intranets. The company derives revenue primarily in North America and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis. The technology used in customer arrangements is based on a single software platform that is deployed to and implemented by customers in a similar manner. The service term for the software arrangements is variable, with the median term being approximately one year.

The accounting policies of the financial market data segment are the same as those described in the summary of accounting policies. The CODM assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income (loss) that is also reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as consolidated net income (loss). The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets. The CODM also uses consolidated gross profit to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the financial market data segment or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions. Consolidated gross profit is reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as gross profit. Consolidated net income (loss) and gross profit are used to monitor budget versus actual results. The monitoring of budgeted versus actual results is used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation.

All expense categories on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) are significant and there are no other significant segment expenses that would require disclosure or are regularly provided to the CODM. Assets provided to the CODM are consistent with those reported on the consolidated balance sheets with particular emphasis on the Company’s available liquidity, including its cash and cash equivalents.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated events up to the filing date of these consolidated financial statements and determined there are no other subsequent event activity required disclosure.
