PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Lever Global Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 24, 2022. We are a fintech-driven consumer liabilities and debt management company. Our mission is to empower subscribers to use our App to become financially independent by managing all of their liabilities and debt obligations in one place. Mr. McKendrick is the Company’s Founder, CEO, and Director and has started several fintech companies focusing on credit and debt management for consumers and businesses since 2015. The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Lever Technology, Inc. (“Lever Technology”), a California corporation. There are no operating activities for Lever Technology.

 

The Company had a soft launch of the App in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 on the iOS App Store. Currently, the App allows the subscribers to analyze their existing student loans and recommend programs the US Department of Education offers after the initial assessment and processes enrollments into these programs. The App provides a list of qualified federal programs. The subscribers can digitally enroll in these programs by uploading or self-declaring their W-2, wage, or tax statements through the App. If subscribers are accepted for a federal program, the App manages their annual certifications for a monthly subscription fee. The average life of a loan is twenty-one years. The Company has partnered with Array US, Inc. to give subscribers personalized credit and financial data through the App, allowing them to understand their borrowing capacity better. The subscribers can also use the information to manage their credit scores.

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company added a round-up option, allowing subscribers to link their bank account and student loan to the App and select to pay a few cents per transaction towards the principal of their student loan. The App will have a feature showing the subscriber how the extra payments towards the loan will result in interest savings and reduce the loan term.

 

In fiscal 2023, the Company intends to offer its subscribers the tools in the App to directly negotiate and refinance their outstanding credit card and auto loans with their lenders. The Company plans to connect several credit card companies and auto loan providers to the App through API. As well as provide more ways to save, spend and invest through the development, acquisition, and key hires across these technologies. The Company also plans to launch the App officially in the App Store and Play Store in the fiscal 2023. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its plans.

 

We are a development stage entity devoting all of its efforts to substantially establishing our flagship product, the Lever App (“App”). The App’s official launch is expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company had a soft launch of the App in the third quarter of fiscal 2022; as a result, we have generated $16,878 for the three months ending December 31, 2022.

 

The App allows everyday people to directly negotiate, enroll, repay, and settle student loans for the US market without the complexity and confusion of the fine print. The App helps subscribers with debt management - negotiation, repayment, and settlement. We are committed to providing our subscribers impartial guidance in their journey toward financial independence. The App will be available on the Play Store (Android) and App Store (iOS) under Lever App (the “App”) as its brand name for a subscription-based fee billed monthly or annually.

The App will help the subscriber manage and resolve liabilities such as credit cards, student loans, and other types of consumer debts through continued education and recommendations on how and when to refinance the student loan with the Department of Education, federal student loan prequalification and enrollment, access credit scores, and other features that enable subscribers to manage their debt obligations smartly, intuitively, and cost-effectively. The Company initially intends to target student debt holders in the United States as its primary customer base. The Company believes that manually managing liabilities is complex and time-consuming, which involves actively monitoring personal finances, estimating payments, negotiating with lenders, and finding the proper federal and state grants and loan arrangements. It is difficult to maintain and monitor these loan terms with annual renewals that can last up to twenty-one (21) years on average.

 

The Company believes the student loan borrower will benefit from the App. Our Application Program Interface (APIs) and artificial intelligence (AI) driven programming connect them to the right and relevant federal loan programs with the most favorable terms – qualifying amount and rate, enrolling, and saving with a few clicks. The Lever App further informs the subscribers when and how to refinance their student loans.

 

Based on the inputs the subscriber provides, the Lever App provides visual guidelines on how the subscriber’s budget and spending suit their current and future liabilities, including their student loan repayments, and provides a smarter way to repay their debts through features like payment roundups and extra repayment recommendations, to help a subscriber pay off the liabilities smarter, without affecting their existing spending habits.

The Lever App provides subscribers instant matches through Student Aid, the largest provider of financial aid for college in the United States, and other Federal student aid programs. The subscriber can access the complex world of student debt management in an easy four-step process through the Lever App, which includes:

 

  Basic subscriber information per KYC requirements,
  The subscriber links one or multiple loans in real-time, also known as Enrollment,
  The software matches with up to three (3) options to manage loans (deferment or forbearance or reduced payments, etc.), and
  The subscriber picks the best option to connect to the best United States Government aid program to complete the application.

 

Once subscribers sync their respective liabilities and loans with the Lever App, the software automates with a data-driven algorithm to match users with better ways to repay debts, such as providing automation for snowball or avalanche plans and extra repayment recommendations for managing liabilities. The App also includes credit score insights and payment round-up technology using open banking protocols that help and recommend that loan borrowers contribute micro amounts towards their loan principal, saving on years of interest and reaching financial independence faster and better with the App.

Business Strategy

 

Our experienced Management and in-house software development team have carefully designed various B2C debt management solutions to meet the needs of borrowers in the United States and globally. We intend to grow our core business, increase market share, and improve profitability principally by deploying the following growth strategies:

 

  Completed version 1 of the App in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 with the soft launch, and launch the App officially to the public in the third quarter of fiscal 2023;
     
  Ramp up subscriber acquisition through our digital and traditional marketing strategies;
     
  Continue to enhance and promote our core proprietary liabilities and debt management app and introduce other innovative repayments, finance, and spending features for United States consumers;
     
  Future growth will depend on the timely development and successful distribution of the Lever App by signing enterprise and employer deals in the United States;
     
  Increase our software development capabilities to develop disruptive and next-generation machine learning and artificial intelligence-driven technologies to grow and retain subscriber base;
     
  Grow subscriber base through accretive acquisitions, opportunistic investments, and beneficial partnerships; and;
     
  Recognize and enter high-growth markets to expand our services to meet the demand for other financial solutions, including but not limited to auto-save and auto loan repayment from day-to-day debit card usage and investments such as IRAs and 401Ks.

Marketing and Sales

 

The Company aims to be flexible and responsive to its sales and marketing strategies to provide an omnichannel customer experience. Therefore, our primary focus is on different subscriber acquisition channels to expand our paid customer base. The Company is actively integrating digital and traditional marketing channels effectively, as we believe these are scalable channels and that one-size-fits-most customers no longer work. Our marketing strategy identifies and targets student borrowers who are high-value/high-potential subscribers. We have found that these customers are often more receptive to a digital marketing strategy that includes SEO marketing, an intuitive website experience, targeted emails/ content, educational blogs, and active social media engagement involving celebrities and influencers. For traditional marketing, such as conferences, trade shows, expos, media events, and direct meetings, the senior Management in person provides presentations, gives media interviews, and engages potential subscribers at events.

 

We have designed our marketing and sales strategies to drive prospective subscribers to the Play Store and App Store, where they can download our App.

 

To spread the word, the Company has engaged celebrities and influencers, such as Austin Reaves (Age 23), to promote and endorse Company’s products and services to target audiences. The Company carefully executes its media strategy by using billboard signage, street posters, bus ads, social media posting, digital TV ads, creating video-on-demand advertising, and attending events at schools, colleges, and university campuses.

 

The App’s official launch is expected to be in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company intends to use traditional marketing strategies such as billboard signage, digital TV ads, creating video-on-demand advertising, and attending events at schools, colleges, and university campuses after the App’s official launch. Currently, the Company uses only online marketing, mainly social media campaigns, including engagement of celebrities and influencers and educational and other incentives-based posts on social media, to drive online traffic to its websites or directly to the App Store.

 

The Company implements an effective marketing funnel where we map out our subscribers’ journey from when they are a lead and then tailored strategies to encourage them to move through this funnel.

 

We also utilize many indirect channels where a network of industry professionals, introducing and referring affiliates as third parties, promote our services in exchange for performance-based compensation. In most cases, affiliates carry out the lead generation function, while the Company’s staff provides subscribers and technical support to subscribers.

 

Most of the marketing and branding initiatives are taken in-house by our team. The Company may hire outside marketing and branding consultants and advertising firms from time to time.

Industry and Competitive Analysis

 

A student loan is money that the federal government and private institutions lend to students or parents to finance post-secondary education. Most students who get a bachelor’s degree finance their education with one or more student loans. Student loans are the largest source of debt in the United States after mortgages. Student loans do not require the borrower to provide collateral, such as a house or a car, to guarantee the loan. The interest payment on the student loan is tax-deductible up to a maximum of $2,500. However, student loans are usually disbursed directly to the educational institution’s financial aid office. The loans can only be used to cover tuition, college fees, room and board, living expenses while at college, and books. In most cases, bankruptcy laws do not allow the discharge of student loans under bankruptcy.

 

Public and Private Student Debt

 

43.4 million student loan borrowers in the United States owe a collective nearly $1.75 trillion in federal and private student loan debt as of April 2022, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (1). According to a July 2021 report by MeasureOne (2), academic data firm — about 92% of student debt is owned by the US Department of Education, referred to as Public student debt. The balance of student debt, referred to as Private Student Loans, makes up 7.89% of the total outstanding US student loans, equal to $131.10 billion.

Average Student Loans

 

The average student debt is estimated to be $28,950 and $71,000 for graduate and post-graduate students. The average US household with student debt owes $57,520, according to NerdWallet’s 2020 household debt study.

 

Parent PLUS loans (3) are direct federal loans parents can use to pay for their dependent child’s education. According to federal loan data, the average outstanding parent PLUS loan debt is $28,778. Total parent PLUS debt: $104.8 billion distributed among 3.7 million parent PLUS borrowers.

Status of Student Loan Repayment (4)

 

The government offered student loan relief in 2020, which caused forbearance spikes and data suspension from federal agencies. There are 6.42 million federal loan borrowers in school, 1.17 million federal borrowers in the grace period, 460,000 federal loan borrowers in repayment, 3.05 million federal loan borrowers in deferment, and 26.78 million federal loan borrowers with loans in forbearance.

 

Borrowers can also postpone private student loan payments via deferment or forbearance, but interest always accrues regardless of whether the borrower makes payments. If public student loan borrowers can’t make payments, they can postpone them through deferment or forbearance. Interest typically accrues during these periods, but borrowers with subsidized loans don’t owe the interest that accrues during deferment.

 

The US Government paused federal student loan repayments and interest during the pandemic throughout 2021 and extended it into the fall of 2022. Despite the freeze, student loan balances still increased as newer loans entered repayment, despite no current payment due on most loans.

 

(4) Federal Student Aid, Portfolio by Loan Status December 2021.

 

Status of Student Loan Default (5)

 

Student loan default happens after a missed payment period after approximately 270 days (or nine months) past due. Private student loans typically default after three missed payments (typically three months). Still, according to the lender’s terms and conditions, it can happen after one missed payment. Around 9.7% of student loan borrowers default after entering repayment within a couple of years.

Student Loan Forgiveness Options

 

The US Government provides several student loan forgiveness options and plans, including but not limited to:

 

  Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) or PSLF Waiver– forgives the remaining balance on your Direct Loans after making 120 qualifying monthly payments under a qualifying repayment plan while working full-time for a qualifying employer.
     
  Income-driven repayment forgiveness – sets your monthly student loan payment at an amount intended to be affordable based on your income and family size.
     
  Borrower defense to repayment – if the school misled or engaged in other misconduct in violation of certain state laws, the student borrower may be eligible for “borrower defense to loan repayment,” to the discharge of some or all of federal student loan debt, and
     
  Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as the FAFSA – is the application for financial aid completed by current and prospective college students in the United States to determine their eligibility for student financial aid.

 

We believe the personal debt management industry is highly fragmented and diversified, with several large and small companies offering a wide variety of debt management solutions. We believe that our direct and indirect competition includes but is not limited to HR benefits platforms, round-up saving and investing apps, personal finance and credit bureau platforms, personal finance educational tools, and other personal debt management companies. General financial content providers may also be considered indirect competition. Our target market is student loan borrowers looking to better their financial future by paying their loans and saving money. We offer a unique solution catered to student loan management in the most comprehensive and user-friendly way for the borrower and the servicer.

 

Our industry is active in mergers and acquisitions of digital debt management software companies by large and well-capitalized companies looking for complementary services. For example, in July 2018, LendingTree, Inc. (NASDAQ: TREE) announced today that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Student Loan Hero, Inc.(6), a personal finance website dedicated to helping student loan borrowers manage their student debt. In April 2021, Acorns, the Californian investment and savings app, landed its second acquisition of 2021 with artificial intelligence (AI) start-up Pillar (7).

The personal debt management industry is highly fragmented and diversified, with several large and small companies offering various debt management solutions. Our direct and indirect competition includes but is not limited to HR benefits platforms, round-up saving and investing apps, personal finance and credit bureau platforms, personal finance educational tools, and other personal debt management companies. General financial content providers may also be considered indirect competition. Our target market is student loan borrowers looking to better their financial future by paying their loans and saving money. We offer a unique solution catered to student loan management in the most comprehensive and user-friendly way for the borrower and the servicer.

 

Our industry is active in mergers and acquisitions of digital debt management software companies by large and well-capitalized companies looking for complementary services. For example, in July 2018, LendingTree, Inc. (NASDAQ: TREE) announced today that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Student Loan Hero, Inc.(6), a personal finance website dedicated to helping student loan borrowers manage their student debt. In April 2021, Acorns, the Californian investment and savings app, landed its second acquisition of 2021 with artificial intelligence (AI) start-up Pillar (7).

 

According to the Harvard Kennedy School report (8), the fintech industry deals with the dangers of potential misuse and abuse of consumer data. This includes but is not limited to the loss of privacy; violation of data security; increasing risks of fraud and scams; unfair and discriminatory uses of data and data analytics against rules and regulations; uses of data that are non-transparent to both consumers and regulators; harmful manipulation of consumer behavior; and risks that tech firms entering the financial or financial regulatory space will lack adequate knowledge, operational effectiveness, and stability.

 

The student loan forgiveness debate has entered into the national conversation. White House officials plan to cancel $10,000 in student debt per borrower after months of internal deliberations over how to structure loan forgiveness for tens of millions of Americans. According to Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan think tank wiping out $10,000 of debt per borrower could cost roughly $230 billion.

 

The Company firmly believes that the student loan industry will continue to be the fastest-growing source of debt for the United States households. Student loans are now the largest source of unsecured debt in the United States. They have become a financial industry, especially with its secondary market and student loan asset-backed securities.

Board of Directors

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company appointed Trent McKendrick as the Executive Chairman and Director. The Company currently has one executive director.

 

Covid-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic throughout the United States. While the initial outbreak concentrated in China, it spread to several other countries and reported infections globally. Many countries worldwide, including the United States, implemented significant governmental measures to control the spread of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement of people, and other material limitations on the business. Even though the pandemic appears to slow down and is in control, these measures have resulted in work stoppages, absenteeism in the Company’s labor workforce, and other disruptions. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments. These developments are highly uncertain. We cannot predict them with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak and the actions required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, the spread of the coronavirus globally could adversely impact our operations and workforce, including our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operation results.

 

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

 

The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The war between the two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues. The United States and certain European countries have imposed additional sanctions on Russia and specific individuals. As of the date of this filing, there has been no disruption in our operations.

 

Rounding Error

Our Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this Item.

 

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 2. OPERATING LEASES

 

The rental expense was $78,636 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The Company rents its servers, computers, and data center from an unrelated third party.

PART II

 

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

At present, we do not have a public market; the selling shareholders will offer and sell their shares at a fixed price until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, OTCQX, or OTCQB, or any other stock exchange, at which time they may be sold at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Shares in the public market, including Common Shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, or debt conversion, or the anticipation of these sales, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time and could impair our ability to raise capital through sales of equity securities.

 

Holders

 

We have 63,660,926 Common Shares issued and outstanding held by 77 shareholders of record, calculated as of December 31, 2022, by our Direct Transfer, LLC., a subsidiary of Issuer Direct Corporation, our Transfer Agent, assuming no exercise of outstanding options or warrants and no exercise of the underwriters’ option. All of the Common Shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction immediately following this offering, except that any Common Shares purchased by our affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may only be sold in compliance with the limitations described below. All remaining Common Shares held by existing shareholders immediately before this offering will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144. These restricted securities were issued and sold by us in private transactions and are eligible for public sale only if registered under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, including the exemptions provided by Rule 144 or Rule 701, summarized below.

 

Dividends

 

The Company did not declare any cash dividends for the December 31, 2022 fiscal year. Our Board of Director(s) (currently constituted by Trent M. McKendrick) does not intend to distribute any cash dividends in the near term. The Board of Directors decides the declaration, payment, timing, and amount of future dividends. The dividends will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows, financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors the Board of Directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that the Company shall pay any future dividends. If the Company decides to pay dividends, there is no assurance concerning dividends.

 

Sale of Restricted Securities

 

Our Common Shares sold pursuant to this offering will be registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, freely transferable, except for our affiliates’ shares. Our affiliates will be deemed to own “control” securities not registered for resale under the registration statement covering this Report. Individuals who may be considered our affiliates after this offering include individuals who control, are controlled by, or are under common control with us, as those terms generally are interpreted for federal securities law purposes. These individuals may include some or all of our directors and executive officers. Individuals who are our affiliates are not permitted to resell their securities unless such securities are separately registered under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available, such as Rule 144.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

All of the Company’s recent sales of unregistered securities within the past three years reported previously reported as required in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed November 14, 2022.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated), including an affiliate, who beneficially owns “restricted securities” (i.e., securities that are not registered by an effective registration statement) of a “reporting company” may not sell these securities until the person has beneficially owned them for at least six months. Thereafter, affiliates may not sell within any three months a number of shares above the greater of: (i) 1 percent of the then outstanding shares as shown by the most recent report or statement published by the issuer; and (ii) the average weekly reported trading volume in such securities during the four preceding calendar weeks.

 

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates will also be subject to restrictions relating to the manner of sale, notice, and the availability of current public information about us. They may be affected only through unsolicited brokers’ transactions.

 

Persons not deemed to be affiliates who have beneficially owned “restricted securities” for at least six months but less than one year may sell these securities, provided that current public information about the Company is “available,” which means that, on the date of sale, we have been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least ninety days and are currently in our Exchange Act filings. After beneficially owning “restricted securities” for one year, our non-affiliates may engage in unlimited resales of such securities.

 

Shares received by our affiliates in this offering, upon exercise of stock options, or upon vesting other equity-linked awards may be “control securities” rather than “restricted securities.” “Control securities” are subject to the same volume limitations as “restricted securities” but are not subject to holding period requirements.

 

Rule 701

 

Rule 701 generally allows a shareholder who purchased our Common Shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been our affiliate during the immediately preceding ninety days to sell those shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation, or notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits our affiliates to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. However, all holders of Rule 701 shares are required to wait until ninety days after the date of this Report before selling such shares pursuant to Rule 701 and until the lock-up period described below expires.

 

ADMISSION TO QUOTATION ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD AND OTC LINKS

 

We intend to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link. If our securities are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and/nor OTC Link, a security holder may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. The OTC Bulletin Board differs from national and regional stock exchanges in that it: (i) is not situated in a single location but operates through the communication of bids, offers, and confirmations between broker-dealers, and (ii) securities admitted to the quotation are offered by one or more Broker-dealers rather than the “specialist” common to stock exchanges.

 

To qualify for a quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link, the Company’s equity security requires one registered broker-dealer, known as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and sponsor the company listing. We do not yet have an agreement with a registered broker-dealer, as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and sponsor the Company listing. If the Company meets the qualifications for trading securities on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link, our securities will trade on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link until a future time, if at all. We may not now, and it may never qualify for a quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

 

The Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this Item.

 

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

 

This Annual Report Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth due to general economic conditions and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. The analysis set forth below is provided pursuant to applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and is not intended to serve as a basis for projections of future events.

 

Lever Global Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 24, 2022. We are a fintech-driven consumer liabilities and debt management company. Our mission is to empower subscribers to use our App to become financially independent by managing all of their liabilities and debt obligations in one place. Mr. McKendrick is the Company’s Founder, CEO, and Director and has started several fintech companies focusing on credit and debt management for consumers and businesses since 2015. The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Lever Technology, Inc. (“Lever Technology”), a California corporation. There are no operating activities for Lever Technology.

 

The Company had a soft launch of the App in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 on the iOS App Store. Currently, the App allows the subscribers to analyze their existing student loans and recommend programs the US Department of Education offers after the initial assessment and processes enrollments into these programs. The App provides a list of qualified federal programs. The subscribers can digitally enroll in these programs by uploading or self-declaring their W-2, wage, or tax statements through the App. If subscribers are accepted for a federal program, the App manages their annual certifications for a monthly subscription fee. The average life of a loan is twenty-one years. The Company has partnered with Array US, Inc. to give subscribers personalized credit and financial data through the App, allowing them to understand their borrowing capacity better. The subscribers can also use the information to manage their credit scores.

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company added a round-up option, allowing subscribers to link their bank account and student loan to the App and select to pay a few cents per transaction towards the principal of their student loan. The App will have a feature showing the subscriber how the extra payments towards the loan will result in interest savings and reduce the loan term.

 

In fiscal 2023, the Company intends to offer its subscribers the tools in the App to directly negotiate and refinance their outstanding credit card and auto loans with their lenders. The Company plans to connect several credit card companies and auto loan providers to the App through API. As well as provide more ways to save, spend and invest through the development, acquisition, and key hires across these technologies. The Company also plans to launch the App officially in the App Store and Play Store in the fiscal 2023. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in future plans.

 

The App allows everyday people to directly negotiate, enroll, repay, and settle student loans for the US market without the complexity and confusion of the fine print. The App helps subscribers with debt management - negotiation, repayment, and settlement. We are committed to providing our subscribers impartial guidance in their journey toward financial independence. The App will be available on the Play Store (Android) and App Store (iOS) under Lever App (the “App”) as its brand name for a subscription-based fee billed monthly or annually.

 

The App will help the subscriber directly negotiate debt through continued education and recommendations on how and when to refinance the student loan, federal student loan prequalification and enrollment, access credit scores, and other features that enable subscribers to manage their debt obligations smartly, intuitively, and cost-effectively. The Company initially intends to target student debt holders in the United States as its primary customer base. The Company believes that manually managing debt is complex and time-consuming, which involves actively monitoring personal finances, estimating payments, negotiating with lenders, and finding the proper federal and state grants and loan arrangements. Maintaining and monitoring these loan terms with annual renewals that can last up to twenty-one (21) years on average isn’t easy.

 

A student loan default has severe consequences for the borrower as it damages the borrower’s credit score, making it difficult to qualify for future loans. Still, the borrower may also be subject to wage garnishment when the lender automatically takes a portion of the paycheck to repay the loan. In addition, defaulting on a student loan can lead to the seizure of tax refunds and Social Security benefits. The Company believes that if borrowers struggle to make student loan payments, it’s crucial to take action before falling too far behind. The Lever App allows the borrower to contact the loan servicer to discuss options, including deferment or forbearance. The Company believes acting through its intuitive technology can help them avoid the devastating consequences of student loan default.

 

  12 
 

 

The Company believes the student loan borrower will benefit from the App. Our Application Program Interface (APIs) and artificial intelligence (AI) driven programming connect them to the right and relevant federal loan programs with the most favorable terms – qualifying amount and rate, enroll and save with a few clicks. The Lever App further informs the subscribers when and how to refinance their student loans. Based on the subscriber’s inputs, the Lever App provides visual guidelines on how the subscriber’s budget and spending suit their student loan repayments.

 

The Lever App provides subscribers instant matches through Student Aid, the largest provider of financial aid for college in the United States, and other Federal student aid programs. The subscriber can access the complex world of student debt management in an easy four-step process through the Lever App, which includes:

 

  Basic subscriber information per KYC requirements,
  The subscriber links one or multiple loans in real-time, also known as Enrollment,
  The software matches with up to three (3) options to manage loans (deferment or forbearance or reduced payments, etc.), and
  The subscriber picks the best option to connect to the best United States Government aid program to complete the application.

 

Once subscribers sync their respective loans with the Lever App, the software automates with a data-driven algorithm to match users with qualifying federal loan programs. The App also provides credit score insights and payment round-up technology using open banking protocols that help and recommend that loan borrowers contribute micro amounts towards their loan principal, save on years of interest, and reach financial independence faster and better with the App.

 

The Company expects to continue to earn revenues through a subscription-based model, which will charge monthly recurring fees to subscribers. The Company is developing and testing the App, which it expects to market and launch in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The App will be available on the App Store and PlayStore.

 

We are a development stage entity devoting all our efforts to substantially establishing our flagship product, the Lever App (“App”). The App’s official launch is expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. From March 24, 2022 (‘Inception Date’) to December 31, 2022, the Company earned $16,878 in subscription revenue. Our independent auditors have raised concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect the Company to raise significant additional capital to accomplish its growth plan over the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that financing and/or capital might be available to the Company.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company has prepared consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. From March 24, 2022 (‘Inception Date’) to December 31, 2022, the Company earned $16,878 in subscription revenue.

 

Our experienced Management and in-house software development team have carefully designed various B2C debt management solutions to meet the needs of borrowers in the United States and Australia. We intend to grow our core business, increase market share, and improve profitability principally by deploying the following growth strategies:

 

  Completed the App in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 with the soft launch, and launch the App officially to the public in the third quarter of fiscal 2023;
     
  Ramp up subscriber acquisition through our digital and traditional marketing strategies;
     
  Continue to enhance and promote our core proprietary debt management platform and introduce other innovative debt management tools for the United States student loan borrowers;
     
  Future growth will depend on the timely development and successful distribution of the Lever App by signing enterprise and employer deals in the United States;
     
  Increase our software development capabilities to develop disruptive and next-generation machine learning and artificial intelligence-driven technologies to grow and retain subscriber base;
     
  Grow subscriber base through accretive acquisitions, opportunistic investments, and beneficial partnerships; and
     
  Recognize and enter high-growth markets to expand our services to meet the demand for other financial solutions, including but not limited to auto-save and auto loan payment from day-to-day debit card usage.

Financial Conditions at December 31, 2022

 

On December 31, 2022, the Company had $315,788 cash to execute its business plan and accumulated a deficit of $1,932,194. The Company had a working capital surplus of $75,299 on December 31, 2022. Lever Holdings provided the working base source code for the launch of the Company, valued at $758,316; the contributed tangible software.

 

The Company believes it has the necessary funding and in-house capabilities to develop and successfully launch the App. The Company budgets $500,000 for sales and marketing campaigns in the next twelve months. Should we require additional capital to the extent the Company’s operations are insufficient to fund its capital requirements, the Company may attempt to raise capital through the issuance of equity or debt. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may depend on Management’s plans’ success. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022

 

The Company generated $16,878 for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2022. During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, the Company had a net income loss of $1,932,194.

 

During the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2022, the Company incurred general & administrative costs (“G and A”) of $1,189,111. During the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2022, the Company incurred sales and marketing costs of $690,212. The sales & marketing costs mainly included payment to marketing and branding consultants, brand ambassadors, affiliate marketing, customer promotion events, online marketing on industry websites, press releases, and other public relations activities.

 

For the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2022, the office’s rent payment or membership fee was $78,636, included in the G and A expenses. From May 16, 2022, and for the fiscal year 2022, the office’s monthly rent payment or membership fee would be $6,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At December 31, 2022, we had a cash balance of $315,788. The Company had a working capital surplus of $75,299 on December 31, 2022.

 

Since its inception, the Company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Management believes that cash on hand may not be sufficient for the Company to meet working capital and corporate development needs as they become due in the ordinary course of business for twelve (12) months following December 31, 2022. From inception to December 31, 2022, the Company had earned $16,878 in revenues and had an operating loss of $1,923,711. The Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations and the ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment to develop its financial technologies. We expect to conduct the planned operations for a maximum of twelve months using currently available capital resources. The Management anticipates raising significant additional capital to accomplish its growth plan over the next twelve (12) months. We do not have any plans or specific agreements for new funding sources. The Management expects to seek to obtain additional funding through private equity or public markets. However, there can be no assurance about the availability or terms such as financing and capital might be available.

 

In the next twelve months, the Company will continue to invest in sales, marketing, product support, development of technology solutions, and enhancement of existing technology to serve our customers. We expect capital expenditures to increase to up to $250,000 in the next twelve months to support the growth, which mainly includes software development, acquisition of complementary software, and purchasing of computers and servers. In addition, the Company estimates additional expenditure needed to be $500,000, which provides for $100,000 and $400,000 for sales & marketing, and working capital, respectively.

 

For the next six to nine months, we expect existing cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and access to funding to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and other cash commitments, such as related party payments and material capital expenditures. However, we may need additional funds to achieve a sustainable sales level where ongoing operations can be funded out of revenues. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available or, if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.

GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION

 

We generated $16,878 in revenues from inception to December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Company accumulated a deficit of $1,932,194. Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the audited financial statements for Form S-1/A (Amendment 3) filed on September 19, 2022, regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result in the Company being unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

We have based our Management’s discussion, and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations on our financial statements, which we have prepared following the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Our actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material and uncertain in the current economic environment due to COVID-19.

 

In more detail, we have described significant accounting policies in Note 2 of our Form S-/A (Amendment 3) statements filed with the SEC on September 19, 2022. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as appropriate based on changing conditions.

 

JOBS Act Accounting Election

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected not to avail ourselves of the delayed adoption of new or revised accounting standards. Therefore, we will adopt new or revised generally accepted accounting principles in the United States on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

 

We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(c) of the SEC’s Regulation S-B. We did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. We have adopted this ASU as of the inception date of March 24, 2022, for ASC 606, Revenue Recognition and Amended ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840). The ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. While we have described significant accounting policies in more detail in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in Form S-/A (Amendment 3) statements filed with the SEC on September 19, 2022, we believe the accounting policies as described in Note 2 to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a- 15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company,

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and

(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our consolidated financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness in future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on December 31, 2022. Based on our assessments, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, due to the material weakness in our internal controls due to inadequate segregation of duties within account processes due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record keeping.

 

Management intends to implement remediation steps to improve our internal controls due to inadequate segregation of duties within account processes due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record keeping. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing the size and composition of our board upon the closing of the business identifying third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals and implemented additional layers of reviews in the internal controls and financial reporting process.

 

This Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting materially.

Term of Office

 

All directors serve until the next annual meeting; their successors are elected and qualified. Officers are appointed to serve for one year until the board of directors’ meeting following the stockholders’ annual meeting until the Directors’ successors have been elected and qualified.

 

Director of Independence

 

Our board of directors is currently composed of four (4) members, out of which three (3) directors are executive directors and who do not qualify as independent directors by the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market (the Company has no plans to list on the NASDAQ Global Market). The third non-executive director is an independent director. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three (3) years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his family members have engaged in various types of business dealings with us. Also, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to our director that no relationships exist, which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. However, the NASDAQ rules require such subjective determination. Had our board of directors made these determinations, they would have reviewed and discussed the information provided by directors and us concerning our director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

 

Audit Committee and Conflicts of Interest

 

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that such committees would have performed are performed by our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board believes such committees are unnecessary since the Company is an early start-up company with only three (3) directors. To date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our three (3) directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

 

There are no family relationships among our directors or officers other than as described above. We are unaware of any other conflicts of interest with our executive officers or directors.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

No director, person nominated to become a director, executive officer, promoter, or control person of our Company has, during the last ten (10) years: (i) been convicted in or is currently subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of the such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to any federal or state securities or banking or commodities laws including, without limitation, in any way limiting involvement in any business activity, or finding any violation to such law, nor (iii) any bankruptcy petition been filed by or against the business of which such person was an executive officer or a general partner, whether at the time of the bankruptcy or for the two (2) years prior thereto.

 

Stockholder Communications with the Board Of Directors

 

We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our board of directors. Nevertheless, every effort will be made to ensure that the board hears the views of stockholders of directors and that the appropriate responses are provided to stockholders promptly. Our board of directors will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process during the upcoming year.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Lever Global Corporation

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lever Global Corporation as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to assume the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Lever Global Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 24, 2022. We are a fintech-driven consumer liabilities and debt management company. Our mission is to empower subscribers to use our App to become financially independent by managing all of their liabilities and debt obligations in one place. Mr. McKendrick is the Company’s Founder, CEO, and Director and has started several fintech companies focusing on credit and debt management for consumers and businesses since 2015. The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Lever Technology, Inc. (“Lever Technology”), a California corporation. There are no operating activities for Lever Technology.

 

The Company had a soft launch of the App in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 on the iOS App Store. Currently, the App allows the subscribers to analyze their existing student loans and recommend programs the US Department of Education offers after the initial assessment and processes enrollments into these programs. The App provides a list of qualified federal programs. The subscribers can digitally enroll in these programs by uploading or self-declaring their W-2, wage, or tax statements through the App. If subscribers are accepted for a federal program, the App manages their annual certifications for a monthly subscription fee. The average life of a loan is twenty-one years. The Company has partnered with Array US, Inc. to give subscribers personalized credit and financial data through the App, allowing them to understand their borrowing capacity better. The subscribers can also use the information to manage their credit scores.

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company added a round-up option, allowing subscribers to link their bank account and student loan to the App and select to pay a few cents per transaction towards the principal of their student loan. The App will have a feature that will show the subscriber how the extra payments towards the loan will result in interest savings and reduce the loan term.

 

In fiscal 2023, the Company intends to offer its subscribers the tools in the App to directly negotiate and refinance their outstanding credit card and auto loans with their lenders. The Company plans to connect several credit card companies and auto loan providers to the App through API. As well as provide more ways to save, spend and invest through the development, acquisition, and key hires across these technologies. The Company also plans to launch the App officially in the App Store and Play Store in the fiscal 2023. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in future plans.

 

We are a development stage entity devoting all of its efforts to substantially establishing our flagship product, the Lever App (“App”). The App’s official launch is expected in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company had a soft launch of the App in the third quarter of fiscal 2022; as a result, we have generated $16,878 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

 

The App allows everyday people to directly negotiate, enroll, repay, and settle student loans for the US market without the complexity and confusion of the fine print. The App helps subscribers with debt management - negotiation, repayment, and settlement. We are committed to providing our subscribers with impartial guidance in their journey toward financial independence. The App will be available on the Play Store (Android) and App Store (iOS) under Lever App (the “App”) as its brand name for a subscription-based fee billed monthly or annually.

 

  F-8 
 

 

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

The App will help the subscriber manage and resolve liabilities such as credit cards, student loans, and other types of consumer debts through continued education and recommendations on how and when to refinance the student loan with the department of education, federal student loan prequalification and enrollment, access credit scores, and other features that enable subscribers to manage their debt obligations smartly, intuitively, and cost-effectively. The Company initially intends to target student debt holders in the United States as its primary customer base. The Company believes that manually managing liabilities is complex and time-consuming, which involves actively monitoring personal finances, estimating payments, negotiating with lenders, and finding the proper federal and state grants and loan arrangements. It is difficult to maintain and monitor these loan terms with annual renewals that can last up to twenty-one (21) years on average.

 

The Company believes the student loan borrower will benefit from the App. Our Application Program Interface (APIs) and artificial intelligence (AI) driven programming connect them to the right and relevant federal loan programs with the most favorable terms – qualifying amount and rate, enrolling and saving with a few clicks. The Lever App further informs the subscribers when and how to refinance their student loans.

 

Based on the inputs the subscriber provides, the Lever App provides visual guidelines on how the subscriber’s budget and spending suit their current and future liabilities, including their student loan repayments, and provides a smarter way to repay their debts through features like payment round-ups and extra repayment recommendations, to help a subscriber pay off the liabilities smarter, without affecting their existing spending habits.

The Lever App provides subscribers instant matches through Student Aid, the largest provider of financial aid for college in the United States, and other Federal student aid programs. The subscriber can access the complex world of student debt management in an easy four-step process through the Lever App, which includes:

 

  Basic subscriber information per KYC requirements,
  The subscriber links one or multiple loans in real-time, also known as Enrollment,
  The software matches with up to three (3) options to manage loans (deferment or forbearance or reduced payments, etc.), and
  The subscriber picks the best option to connect to the best United States Government aid program to complete the application.

 

Once subscribers sync their respective liabilities and loans with the Lever App, the software automates with a data-driven algorithm to match users with better ways to repay debts, such as providing automation for snowball or avalanche plans and extra repayment recommendations for managing liabilities. The App also includes credit score insights and payment round-up technology using open banking protocols that help and recommend that loan borrowers contribute micro amounts towards their loan principal, saving on years of interest and reaching financial independence faster and better with the App.

Business Strategy

 

Our experienced Management and in-house software development team have carefully designed various B2C debt management solutions to meet the needs of borrowers in the United States and globally. We intend to grow our core business, increase market share, and improve profitability principally by deploying the following growth strategies:

 

  Complete version 1 of the App in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 with the soft launch, and launch the App officially to the public in the third quarter of fiscal 2023;
     
  Ramp up subscriber acquisition through our digital and traditional marketing strategies;
     
  Continue to enhance and promote our core proprietary liabilities and debt management app and introduce other innovative repayments, finance, and spending features for United States consumers;
     
  Future growth will depend on the timely development and successful distribution of the Lever App by signing enterprise and employer deals in the United States;
     
  Increase our software development capabilities to develop disruptive and next-generation machine learning and artificial intelligence-driven technologies to grow and retain subscriber base;
     
  Grow subscriber base through accretive acquisitions, opportunistic investments, and beneficial partnerships; and;
     
  Recognize and enter high-growth markets to expand our services to meet the demand for other financial solutions, including but not limited to auto-save and auto loan repayment from day-to-day debit card usage and investments such as IRAs and 401Ks.

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

Marketing and Sales

 

The Company aims to be flexible and responsive to its sales and marketing strategies to provide an omnichannel customer experience. Therefore, our primary focus is on different subscriber acquisition channels to expand our paid customer base. The Company is actively integrating digital and traditional marketing channels effectively, as we believe these are scalable channels and that one-size-fits-most customers no longer work. Our marketing strategy identifies and targets student borrowers who are high-value/high-potential subscribers. We have found that these customers are often more receptive to a digital marketing strategy that includes SEO marketing, an intuitive website experience, targeted emails/ content, educational blogs, and active social media engagement involving celebrities and influencers. For traditional marketing, such as conferences, trade shows, expos, media events, and direct meetings, the senior Management in person provides presentations, gives media interviews, and engages potential subscribers at events.

 

We have designed our marketing and sales strategies to drive prospective subscribers to the Play Store and App Store, where they can download our App.

 

To spread the word, the Company has engaged celebrities and influencers, such as Austin Reaves (Age 23), to promote and endorse the Company’s products and services to target audiences. The Company carefully executes its media strategy by using billboard signage, street posters, bus ads, social media posting, digital TV ads, creating video-on-demand advertising, and attending events at schools, colleges, and university campuses.

 

The App’s official launch is expected to be in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company intends to use traditional marketing strategies such as billboard signage, digital TV ads, creating video-on-demand advertising, and attending events at schools, colleges, and university campuses after the App’s official launch. Currently, the Company uses only online marketing, mainly social media campaigns, including engagement of celebrities and influencers and educational and other incentives-based posts on social media, to drive online traffic to its websites or directly to the App Store.

 

The Company implements an effective marketing funnel where we map out our subscribers’ journey from when they are a lead and then tailored strategies to encourage them to move through this funnel.

 

We also utilize many indirect channels where a network of industry professionals, introducing and referring affiliates as third parties, promote our services in exchange for performance-based compensation. In most cases, affiliates carry out the lead generation function, while the Company’s staff provides subscribers and technical support to subscribers.

 

Most of the marketing and branding initiatives are taken in-house by our team. The Company may hire outside marketing and branding consultants and advertising firms from time to time.

Industry and Competitive Analysis

 

A student loan is money that the federal government and private institutions lend to students or parents to finance post-secondary education. Most students who get a bachelor’s degree finance their education with one or more student loans. Student loans are the largest source of debt in the United States after mortgages. Student loans do not require the borrower to provide collateral, such as a house or a car, to guarantee the loan. The interest payment on the student loan is tax-deductible up to a maximum of $2,500. However, student loans are usually disbursed directly to the educational institution’s financial aid office. The loans can only be used to cover tuition, college fees, room and board, living expenses while at college, and books. In most cases, bankruptcy laws do not allow the discharge of student loans under bankruptcy.

 

Public and Private Student Debt

 

43.4 million student loan borrowers in the United States owe a collective nearly $1.75 trillion in federal and private student loan debt as of April 2022, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (1). According to a July 2021 report by MeasureOne (2), academic data firm — about 92% of student debt is owned by the US Department of Education, referred to as Public student debt. The balance of student debt, referred to as Private Student Loans, makes up 7.89% of the total outstanding US student loans, equal to $131.10 billion.

Average Student Loans

 

The average student debt is estimated to be $28,950 and $71,000 for graduate and post-graduate students. The average US household with student debt owes $57,520, according to NerdWallet’s 2020 household debt study.

 

Parent PLUS loans (3) are direct federal loans parents can use to pay for their dependent child’s education. According to federal loan data, the average outstanding parent PLUS loan debt is $28,778. Total parent PLUS debt: $104.8 billion distributed among 3.7 million parent PLUS borrowers.

Status of Student Loan Repayment (4)

 

The government offered student loan relief in 2020, which caused forbearance spikes and data suspension from federal agencies. There are 6.42 million federal loan borrowers in school, 1.17 million federal borrowers in the grace period, 460,000 federal loan borrowers in repayment, 3.05 million federal loan borrowers in deferment, and 26.78 million federal loan borrowers with loans in forbearance.

 

Borrowers can also postpone private student loan payments via deferment or forbearance, but interest always accrues regardless of whether the borrower makes payments. If public student loan borrowers can’t make payments, they can postpone them through deferment or forbearance. Interest typically accrues during these periods, but borrowers with subsidized loans don’t owe the interest that accrues during deferment.

 

The US Government paused federal student loan repayments and interest during the pandemic throughout 2021 and extended it into the fall of 2022. Despite the freeze, student loan balances still increased as newer loans entered repayment, despite no current payment due on most loans.

 

(4) Federal Student Aid, Portfolio by Loan Status December 2021.

 

Status of Student Loan Default (5)

 

Student loan default happens after a missed payment period after approximately 270 days (or nine months) past due. Private student loans typically default after three missed payments (typically three months). Still, according to the lender’s terms and conditions, it can happen after one missed payment. Around 9.7% of student loan borrowers default after entering repayment within a couple of years.

 

(5) Federal Student Aid September 2020

 

Student Loan Forgiveness Options

 

The US Government provides several student loan forgiveness options and plans, including but not limited to:

 

  Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) or PSLF Waiver– forgives the remaining balance on your Direct Loans after making 120 qualifying monthly payments under a qualifying repayment plan while working full-time for a qualifying employer.
     
  Income-driven repayment forgiveness – sets your monthly student loan payment at an amount intended to be affordable based on your income and family size.
     
  Borrower defense to repayment – if the school misled or engaged in other misconduct in violation of certain state laws, the student borrower may be eligible for “borrower defense to loan repayment,” to the discharge of some or all of federal student loan debt, and
     
  Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as the FAFSA – is the application for financial aid completed by current and prospective college students in the United States to determine their eligibility for student financial aid.

 

We believe the personal debt management industry is highly fragmented and diversified, with several large and small companies offering a wide variety of debt management solutions. We believe that our direct and indirect competition includes but is not limited to HR benefits platforms, round-up saving and investing apps, personal finance and credit bureau platforms, personal finance educational tools, and other personal debt management companies. General financial content providers may also be considered indirect competition. Our target market is student loan borrowers looking to better their financial future by paying their loans and saving money. We offer a unique solution catered to student loan management in the most comprehensive and user-friendly way for the borrower and the servicer.

 

Our industry is active in mergers and acquisitions of digital debt management software companies by large and well-capitalized companies looking for complementary services. For example, in July 2018, LendingTree, Inc. (NASDAQ: TREE) announced today that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Student Loan Hero, Inc.(6), a personal finance website dedicated to helping student loan borrowers manage their student debt. In April 2021, Acorns, the Californian investment and savings app, landed its second acquisition of 2021 with artificial intelligence (AI) start-up Pillar (7).

NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (continued)

 

According to the Harvard Kennedy School report (8), the fintech industry deals with the dangers of potential misuse and abuse of consumer data. This include but is not limited to the loss of privacy; violation of data security; increasing risks of fraud and scams; unfair and discriminatory uses of data and data analytics against rules and regulations; uses of data that are non-transparent to both consumers and regulators; harmful manipulation of consumer behavior; and risks that tech firms entering the financial or financial regulatory space will lack adequate knowledge, operational effectiveness, and stability.

 

The student loan forgiveness debate has entered into the national conversation. White House officials are planning to cancel $10,000 in student debt per borrower after months of internal deliberations over how to structure loan forgiveness for tens of millions of Americans. According to Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan think tank wiping out $10,000 of debt per borrower could cost roughly $230 billion.

 

The Company firmly believes that the student loan industry will continue to be the fastest-growing source of debt for United States households. Student loans are now the largest source of unsecured debt in the United States. They have become a financial industry in its own right, especially with its secondary market and student loan asset-backed securities.

Board of Directors

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company appointed Trent McKendrick as the Executive Chairman and Director. The Company currently has one executive director.

 

Covid-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic throughout the United States. While the initial outbreak concentrated in China, it spread to several other countries and reported infections globally. Many countries worldwide, including the United States, implemented significant governmental measures to control the spread of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement of people, and other material limitations on the business. Even though the pandemic appears to slow down and is in control, these measures have resulted in work stoppages, absenteeism in the Company’s labor workforce, and other disruptions. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments. These developments are highly uncertain. We cannot predict them with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak and the actions required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, the continued spread of the coronavirus globally could adversely impact our operations and workforce, including our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operation results.

 

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

 

The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The war between the two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues. The United States and certain European countries have imposed additional sanctions on Russia and specific individuals. As of the date of this filing, there has been no disruption in our operations.

 

Rounding Error

 

Due to rounding, numbers presented in the financial statements for the period ending from inception to December 31, 2022, and throughout the report may not add up precisely to the totals provided, and percentages may not exactly reflect the absolute figures.

The Company acknowledges that future benefits from research and development (R and D) are uncertain. It cannot capitalize all the R and D. The GAAP accounting standards require us to expense all research and development expenditures as incurred. From the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred $46,960 in R and D costs to determine the technical feasibility of the Lever App for the US market. In the consolidated income statements, we have included the R and D costs in the General and Administrative expenses.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company discloses a loss contingency if at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss has been incurred. The Company records its best estimate of loss related to pending legal proceedings when the loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company can reasonably estimate a range of loss with no best estimate; the Company records the minimum estimated liability. As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability of pending legal proceedings, revises its estimates, and updates its disclosures accordingly. The Company’s legal costs associated with defending itself are recorded as expenses when incurred. The Company is currently not involved in any litigation.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment following FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. We test long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or circumstances change to indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount if and when the asset’s carrying value exceeds the fair value. There are no impairment charges for the period ending December 31, 2022.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates applicable each year.

 

The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and benefits, requiring periodic adjustments, which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision of income taxes in the operations’ consolidated statements. The Company’s Management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly in the next twelve (12) months.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Contributed Software Code

 

Lever Holdings provided the working base source code for the launch of the Company, valued at $758,316, as the contributed tangible software. The Company estimated the value of the source code using the cost approach as the related party contributed to it. The Company attributed 100% value to the cost approach, closest to the actual value of developing the source code.

 

Software Development Costs

 

By ASC 985-20, Software development costs, including costs to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, are capitalized after establishing technical feasibility, if significant. We amortize the capitalized software development costs using the straight-line amortization method over the application software’s estimated useful life.

 

The Company established the technical feasibility of the Lever App’s design specifications for the US market in 2022. By the end of March 31, 2022, the Company completed the activities (planning, designing, coding, and testing) necessary to establish that it can launch and market the App. The Company is revising the user interface and building additional features to better the App for official public launch in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

 

The Company estimates the useful life of the software to be three (3) years. Amortization expense was 57,516 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and the Company classifies such cost as the Cost of Sales.

 

Capitalized Software Costs

At December 31, 2022 the gross capitalized software asset was $981,522. At the end of December 31, 2022, accumulated software amortization expenses were $57,516. As a result, the unamortized balance of capitalized software on December 31, 2022, was $924,007.

 

The Company launched version 1 of the App in August 2022. As a result, we are amortizing the gross capitalized cost as an amortization expense, and the Company classifies such cost as the Cost of Sales.

 

The Company has estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five (5) succeeding fiscal years based on the estimated software asset’s lifespan of three (3) years.

 

Estimated Amortization Expense:

 

         
Fiscal year ended December 31, 2023   $ 172,547  
Fiscal year ended December 31, 2024   $ 172,547  
Fiscal year ended December 31, 2025   $ 115,031

Foreign Currency Translation and Re-measurement

 

The Company translates its foreign operations to US dollars following ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.”

 

We have translated the local currency of ADS, the Australian Dollar (“AUD”), into US$1.00 at the following exchange rates for the respective dates:

 

The exchange rate at the reporting end date:

 

    December 31, 2022  
USD: AUD   $ 1.4695  

 

Average exchange rate for the period:

 

    March 24, 2022, to
December 31, 2022
 
USD: AUD   $ 1.4490  

 

The Company related party transactions were in AUD, and its reporting currency is the US dollar.

 

  F-16 
 

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

The Company translates its records into USD as follows:

 

  Assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date
  Equities at the historical rate
  Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period

 

Fair Value

 

The Company uses current market values to recognize certain assets and liabilities at a fair value. The fair value is the estimated price at which the Company can sell the asset or settle a liability in an orderly transaction to a third party under current market conditions. The Company uses the following methods and valuation techniques for deriving fair values:

 

Market Approach – The market approach uses the prices associated with actual market transactions for similar or identical assets and liabilities to derive a fair value.

 

Income Approach – The income approach uses estimated future cash flows or earnings, adjusted by a discount rate representing the time value of money and the risk of cash flows not being achieved to derive a discounted present value.

 

Cost Approach – The cost approach uses the estimated cost to replace an asset adjusted for the obsolescence of the existing asset.

 

The Company ranks the fair value hierarchy of information sources from Level 1 (best) to Level 3 (worst). The Company uses these three levels to select inputs for valuation techniques:

 

Level I   Level 2   Level 3
Level 1 is a quoted price for an identical item in an active market on the measurement date. Level 1 is the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used whenever this information is available.   Level 2 is directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices. An example of a Level 2 input is a valuation multiple for a business unit based on comparable companies’ sales, EBITDA, or net income.   Level 3 is an unobservable input. It may include the Company’s data, adjusted for other reasonably available information. Examples of a Level 3 input are an internally-generated financial forecast.

 

Lever Holdings provided the working base source code for the launch of the Company, valued at $758,316 as the contributed tangible software. The Company estimated the value of the source code using the cost approach as the related party contributed it. The Company attributed 100% value to the cost approach, closest to the actual value of developing the source code.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

 

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 63,660,926 basic and dilutive shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

 

During the nine months ending December 31, 2022, common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive due to a net loss. Hence, they are not considered in the computation.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific requirements. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step revenue recognition process; an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from customers’ contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one (1) year. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are reported following legacy GAAP. Refer to Note 2, Revenue from Major Contracts with Customers, for further discussion on the Company’s accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments to this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments in this standard is permitted for all entities. The Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted this policy as of January 1, 2020, and there is no material affect on its financial reporting.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to add disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The amendments removed and modified certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Certain amendments are to be applied prospectively, while others are to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Company adopted the ASU 2018-13 as of March 24, 2022. The Company used the Level 1I and II Fair Market Measurement to record, at cost, source code as tangible assets valued at $758,316. We evaluate contributed tangible software for impairment at least annually to confirm if the carrying amount of contributed tangible software exceeds their fair value. The contributed tangible software primarily consists of the source code of the Lever App, fundamental testing of the App in a similar market, and a relationship with the software development and marketing team. We use various qualitative or quantitative methods for these impairment tests to estimate the fair value of our contributed tangible software. If the fair value is less than its carrying value, we would recognize an impairment charge for the difference. The Company did not record impairment for December 31, 2022.

 

ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, issued in August 2020 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to present certain conversion features in equity separately. In addition, the amendments also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring the use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The amendments are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The guidance must be adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect this ASU 2020-06 to impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by Management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has prepared consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary business course. On December 31, 2022, the accumulated deficit was $1,932,194. On December 31, 2022, the working capital surplus was $75,299. The increase in the working capital surplus was mainly due to the equity capital raise in May 2022.

 

From March 24, 2022 (“Inception”) and December 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,932,194. From March 24, 2022 (“Inception”) and December 31, 2022, the Company generated revenue of $16,878.

 

Since its inception, the Company has sustained losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $315,788 cash on hand. The Management believes that cash on hand may not be sufficient for the Company to meet working capital and corporate development needs as they become due in the ordinary course of business for twelve (12) months following December 31, 2022. From inception to December 31, 2022, the Company did not earn any significant revenues and had an operating loss of $1,923,711. The Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations and the ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment to develop its financial technologies.

 

Management has considered various factors in evaluating the Company’s sustainability and the ability to manage obligations due within a year. Management has considered general economic conditions, key industry metrics, operating results, capital expenditures, commitments, and future obligations and liquidity. If there is a delay in generating significant revenues by the end of December 31, 2022, the Company will require capital infusion from new and existing investors, streamlining operating costs, and evaluating new business strategies to enhance cash flow from operations.

 

The Management expects that it will need to raise significant additional capital to accomplish its growth plan over the next twelve (12) months. The Management expects to seek to obtain additional funding through private equity or public markets. However, there can be no assurance about the availability or terms such as financing and capital might be available.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may depend on the Management’s plans discussed below. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

To the extent the Company’s operations are insufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Management may attempt to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or issuance of debt.

 

The Management intends to continue enhancing its revenue from its Lever App subscription model, which it expects to launch in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. In the meantime, the Company expects to raise funds through private placement offerings and debt financing. See Note 8 for Notes Payable. As the Company increases its subscription base in the United States, it intends to acquire long-lived assets to provide a future economic benefit beyond fiscal 2022.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company calculates income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting. We compute Deferred income taxes by multiplying statutory rates applicable to estimated future-year differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.

 

The income tax provision is summarized as follows:

 

Income Tax      
    Deferred Tax Assets/Liability    
    December 31, 2022    
      Book value       Tax value    
Income (Loss) per Books                  
M-1 Differences:     (1,932,194 )     (405,761 )  
Stock/options issued for services     26,500       5,565    
Depreciation and amortization     57,516       12,078    
Tax income (loss)     (1,848,178 )     (388,117 )  
                   
Prior Year NOL (exclude effect of state tax)     -       -    
Cumulative NOL     (1,848,178 )     (388,117 )  

 

    December 31, 2022    
Net operating loss carry forwards     388,117    
Stock/options issued for services     5,565    
Depreciation and amortization     12,078    
Tax rate change     -    
Valuation allowance     (405,761 )  
Total     -    
           
Tax at statutory rate (21%)     (405,761 )  
State tax benefit, net of federal tax effect     -    
Change in valuation allowance     405,761    
Total     -    

 

In 2022, the Company had pre-tax income and losses of $1,932,194, respectively, available for carry-forward to offset future taxable income. The Management has determined to provide full valuation allowances for our net deferred tax assets at the end of 2022, including Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryforwards generated during the years. We could realize our deferred tax assets based on its evaluation of positive and negative evidence, including our history of operating losses and the uncertainty of generating future taxable income.

 

On December 22, 2017, the United States President signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). The Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to reduce tax rates and modify individual and business policies, credits, and deductions. The Act reduces the corporate federal tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a 21% rate for corporations. The rate reduction took effect on January 1, 2018. Therefore, we have applied the tax rate of 21% to the ending balance of federal deferred tax assets. As we provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets, we have not recorded any tax impact due to the tax rate change.

 

NOTE 9. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support, credit risk support, or other benefits.

 

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
