Item 1A. Risk Factors

The report of our independent auditors indicates uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going concern and this may impair our ability to raise capital to fund our business. In its opinion on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, our independent auditors raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that this will not impair our ability to raise capital on attractive terms. Additionally, we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve significant revenues and therefore remain a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have incurred losses in prior periods, and losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows. We have incurred losses in prior periods. Any losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows.

There is doubt about our ability to continue as a viable business. We have not earned a profit from our operations during recent financial periods. There is no assurance that we will ever earn a profit from our operations in future financial periods.

We may be unable to obtain sufficient capital to implement our full plan of business. Currently, we do not have sufficient financial resources with which to establish our new business strategies. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sources of financing, including in this offering, in order to satisfy our working capital needs.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff comments

None.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

We believe that information security is a critical component of our business strategy. Therefore, we maintain and continuously assess and strengthen our cyber security program. We do not maintain a database of information other than for our products

Item 2. Properties

Currently, we do not own any real estate. Our principal executive offices are located at One Marine Plaza, Suite 305A, North Bergen, New Jersey 04047. We pay rent of $5,400 per month at this location. We believe that our properties are adequate for our current needs, but growth potential may require larger facilities due to anticipated addition of personnel. We do not have any policies regarding investments in real estate, securities or other forms of property.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We have no current legal proceedings.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Market Information

Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “KOAN” on the OTCQB. Only a limited market exists for our securities. There is no assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a shareholder may be unable to resell his securities in our company.

The following table lists the high and low closing sale prices for our stock for each quarter for the last two fiscal years as reported on the OTCQB. Because our stock is traded on the OTCQB, these quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail markup, markdown or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

The ability of individual stockholders to trade their shares in a particular state may be subject to various rules and regulations of that state. A number of states require that an issuer’s securities be registered in their state or appropriately exempted from registration before the securities are permitted to trade in that state. Presently, we have no plans to register our securities in any particular state. Further, our shares may be subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.

Holders of Our Common Stock

As of May 30, 2025, we had 195,248,774 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by approximately 706 shareholders of record at our transfer agent, with approximately 47 additional shareholders holding our shares in street name.

Dividends

We currently intend to retain future earnings for the operation of our business. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

In the event that a dividend is declared, common stockholders on the record date are entitled to share ratably in any dividends that may be declared from time to time on the common stock by our board of directors from funds legally available.

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

On March 19, 2019, our Board of Directors adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility with us, to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants, and to promote our success. Under the Plan, we are currently able to issue up to an aggregate total of 10,000,000 incentive or non-qualified options to purchase our common stock, stock awards and other offerings.

Equity Compensation Plans as of December 31, 2023

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we did not issue any unregistered securities not previously reported.

uring the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued the following shares of common stock:

Subsequent to December 31, 2024, we have issued unregistered securities not previously reported, as follows:

These securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. Each investor is an accredited investor and each represented its intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. Such investors were given adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising. The securities issued to such investors were affixed with an appropriate restrictive legend.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

Not required under Regulation S-K for “smaller reporting companies.”

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

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

Revenues. We reported $1,349,905 (unaudited) and $16,468 (unaudited) in sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (“Interim 2024”) and 2023 (“Interim 2023”), respectively. All of our revenues for Interim 2024 were attributable to the business operations of EMGE for the period from the acquisition date, March 14, 2024. All revenues reported for Interim 2023 were attributable to the Subsidiary.

Gross Profit. For Interim 2024, our cost of revenue was $477,079 (unaudited), compared to cost of revenue of $13,257 (unaudited) for Interim 2023, resulting in a gross profit of $872,826 (unaudited) for Interim 2024 and a gross profit of $3,211 (unaudited) for Interim 2023.

All cost of revenue and gross profit for Interim 2024 were attributable to the business operations of EMGE for the period from the acquisition date, March 14, 2024. All cost of revenue and gross profit reported for Interim 2023 were attributable to the Subsidiary.

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses were $2,219,787 (unaudited) and $195,627 (unaudited) for Interim 2024 and Interim 2023, respectively. Our operating expenses for the remainder of 2024 can be expected to increase as the effects of the acquisition of EMGE impact on our operating results. No prediction as to the level of operating expenses for all of 2024 can be made in this regard, however.

Other Income/Expense. We had other expense of $208,805 (unaudited) for Interim 2024, compared to $819,016 (unaudited) in other expense for Interim 2023.

Net Income/Loss. For Interim 2024, we had a net loss of $1,555,767 (unaudited), compared to a net loss of $1,011,432 (unaudited) for Interim 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In connection with the EMGE transaction, we obtained a loan from a third party and, subsequent to the closing of the EMGE transaction, we have obtained an additional loan from another third party. We remain, nevertheless, dependent on additional investment capital to continue our survival. Historically, we have raised money through convertible debt, almost always on unfavorable terms. There is no guarantee that any capital, including through convertible loan transactions, will be available to us in the future or, if available, on terms acceptable to us. The terms of the recently obtained loans are discussed below.

AJB Capital Investments, LLC. In March 2024, the Company obtained a loan from AJB Capital Investments, LLC (AJB) which netted the Company $252,000 in proceeds. In consideration of such loan, the Company issued a $280,000 face amount promissory note (the AJB Note), with OID of $28,000, bearing interest at 12% per annum, with principal and interest payable on September 4, 2024. The Company has the right to repay the AJB Note at any time. Should the Company be in default, which shall not have been cured, the AJB Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price that shall equal the volume weighted average trading price (a) during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the date of issuance of the AJB Note or (b) during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the relevant conversion date, whichever is lower.

The AJB Note is secured by all assets of our company.

In addition, we issued to AJB a pre-funded common stock purchase warrant (the AJB Warrant) to purchase 3,428,571 shares of our common stock, with a nominal exercise price of $.00001 per share. The AJB Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis,

Ray Vollintine. In March 2024, the Company obtained a loan from Ray Vollintine (Vollintine) which netted the Company $250,000 in proceeds. In consideration of such loan, the Company issued a $280,000 face amount promissory note (the Vollintine Note), with OID of $30,000, bearing interest at 12% per annum, with principal and interest payable on September 29, 2024. The Company has the right to repay the Vollintine Note at any time. The Vollintine Note is convertible at any time and from time to time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price that shall equal to $.035; provided, however, that, upon an event of default, the conversion price shall be the lower of (a) $.035 or (b) the volume weighted average trading price during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the date of issuance of the Vollintine Note or during the previous 20 trading-day period ending on the relevant conversion date, whichever is lower.

The Vollintine Note is unsecured.

In addition, we issued to Vollintine a pre-funded common stock purchase warrant (the Vollintine Warrant) to purchase 7,200,000 shares of our common stock, with a nominal exercise price of $.00001 per share. The Vollintine Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis, As further consideration for Vollintine’s purchasing the Vollintine Note, we entered into a make-whole agreement that assures that Vollintine shall derive not less than $250,000 in net proceeds from Vollintine’s sales of the common stock underlying the Vollintine Warrant.

As of December 31, 2024, we had total current assets of $1,044,236 (unaudited), consisting of $68,236 (unaudited) in cash, $6,000 loan receivable and $970,000 (unaudited) in advances to former acquisition partner-company. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2024, were $4,557,634 (unaudited). Our working capital deficit was $3,513,398 (unaudited) as of December 31, 2024, compared to our working capital deficit of $2,150,975 (unaudited) as of December 31, 2023.

Going Concern

As of December 31, 2024, we have an accumulated deficit of $28,292,170 (unaudited). Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. While we are expanding our best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2024, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as described in the footnotes to our financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022; however, we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to determining the amount of revenue to be billed, the timing of revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, capitalization and related amortization of intangible assets, impairment of assets, and the fair value of liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

No new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the fiscal year has had or is expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Please see our Financial Statements beginning on page F-1 of this Annual Report.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, December 31, 2024. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon that evaluation, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financing 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 of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that was enacted in 2010.

Item 9B. Other Information

Audit Committee

We do not have a separately designated standing audit committee. The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the board of directors when performing the functions of that would generally be performed by an audit committee. The board of directors approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the board of directors reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.

We do not have an audit committee financial expert because of the size of our company and our board of directors at this time. We believe that we do not require an audit committee financial expert at this time because we retain outside consultants who possess these attributes as needed.

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, the board of directors:

Based upon the board of directors’ review and discussion of the matters above, the board of directors authorized inclusion of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, to be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and filed with the SEC.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our knowledge based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof) received by us, no persons have failed to file, on a timely basis, the identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Code of Ethics

As of December 31, 2023, we had not adopted a Code of Ethics. We believe that the small number of board and management members do not yet warrant the adoption of a Code of Ethics.

On March 14, 2024, the parties closed the Exchange Agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors,

Resonate Blends, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Resonate Blends, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, 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 years ended December 31, 2023, and 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 of America.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring operating losses, has working capital deficit of $2,150,975 and $1,170,940, as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company also had accumulated deficit of $26,736,403 and $25,320,424 as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. 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 audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

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

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

Critical Audit Matters

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

Convertible Note Payable

As described in Note 4, Convertible Note Payable and Note 5, Derivative Liabilities, to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had convertible note payable that required accounting considerations and significant estimates.

The Company determined that variable conversion features issued in connection with certain convertible debentures required derivative liability classification. These variable conversion features were initially measured at fair value and subsequently have been remeasured to fair value at each reporting period. The Company determined the fair value of the embedded derivatives using the Binomial option pricing model. The value of the embedded derivative liabilities related to the convertible note payable was $166,861 as of December 31, 2023.

We identified the accounting considerations and related valuations, including the related fair value determinations of the embedded derivative liabilities of such as a critical audit matter. The principal considerations for our determination were: (1) the accounting consideration in determining the nature of the various features (2) the evaluation of the potential derivatives and potential bifurcation in the instruments, and (3) considerations related to the determination of the fair value of the various debt and equity instruments and the conversion features that include valuation models and assumptions utilized by management. An audit of these elements is especially challenging and requires auditor judgement due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address these matters, including the extent of specialized skill or knowledge needed.

Our audit procedures related to management’s conclusion on the evaluation and related valuation of embedded derivatives, included the following, among others: (1) evaluating the relevant terms and conditions of the various financings, (2) assessing the appropriateness of conclusions reached by the Company with respect to the accounting for the convertible debt, and the assessment and accounting for potential derivatives and (3) independently recomputing the valuations determined by Management.
