Global AI was organized as Mycatalogsonline.com, Inc. in the state of Nevada on January 6, 2009. In April 2009, the Company changed its name to My Catalogs Online, Inc. In November 2012, the Company changed its name to Bright Mountain Holdings, Inc. In August 2013, the Company changed its name to Wall Street Media Co, Inc. and in October 2023 the Company changed its name to Global AI, Inc.

 

The Company has been involved in developing and searching for artificial intelligence (“AI”)-based products, solutions and services for customers. As part of such efforts, the Company has retained seasoned technology executives and other full and part-time subcontractors to build product and services, review technologies, structure research and development programs, work on go to market (“GTM”) approach and increase engagement with relevant industry players.

 

The Company acquires, integrates and develops AI-based technology companies and assets (the “Acquisitions”). The Company focuses its Acquisitions on machine and deep learning, generative AI, computer vision, natural language processing, and other AI technologies. The Company focuses on Acquisitions that are scalable and have revenue models that provide for tangible growth. Once acquired, the Company integrates and further develops the companies and assets acquired in the Acquisitions to increase their existing customer base and further develop their existing products and services. The Company also engages in efforts to “cross-pollinate” knowledge and strategies derived from each of its Acquisitions with other Acquisitions for the benefit of the Company’s network as a whole. In addition, the Company centralizes back office administrative functions and takes advantage of cost and revenue synergies across the Acquisitions’ platforms.

 

On September 12, 2023, Ingenious Investment AG purchased, from their own funds, from existing shareholders of the Company, in a series of private transactions, a total of 24,944,466 shares of common stock, $0.001 per share of Global AI, Inc., representing 92.7% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at such time.

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global AI Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and codified in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). These financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023.

 

These financial statements have been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report included herein. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require the Company to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which it relies are reasonable based upon information available at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. Significant estimates include the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024, or December 31, 2023.

 

 

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

 

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Research and development activities primarily include the design, development, and testing of new products, technologies, or significant improvements to existing products. Costs incurred in connection with these activities, including salaries and benefits of personnel directly engaged in R&D, materials and supplies used in the development process, third-party development costs, are charged to expenses as incurred.

 

Research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 were $44,307 and $0, respectively.

 

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses consist of monies owed to vendors and may contain estimates for services provided but not billed within the normal course of business.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of a promised good or service is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company applies the following five-step model to recognize revenue from contracts with customers:

 

1.Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
2.Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
3.Determine the transaction price.
4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
5.Recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company’s primary revenue is derived from developing and searching for AI based products, solutions, and services for our customers. Revenue is generally recognized over time, typically upon completion of services, which is the point at which control transfers to the customer.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

We utilize ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

 

The Company recognizes the impact of a tax position in the financial statements only if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Our practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties, if any, related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the shorter of the service period or the vesting period of the stock-based compensation. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Determining the fair value of stock-based compensation at the grant date under this model requires judgment, including estimating volatility, employee stock option exercise behaviors and forfeiture rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based compensation represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment.

 

 

Segment Information

Segment Information

 

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and relied upon when making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. When evaluating the Company’s financial performance, the CODM reviews total revenues, total expenses, and expenses by functional classification, using this information to make decisions on a company-wide basis.

 

The Company currently operates in one reportable segment pertaining to customer services. The CODM for the Company is the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”). The Company’s CEO reviews operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the Company’s operations as a whole for the purpose of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single reportable and operating segment structure. The CEO uses aggregate net loss to allocate resources in the annual budgeting and forecasting process and also uses that measure as a basis for evaluating financial performance regularly by comparing actual results with established budgets and forecasts. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheets as total assets. Segment revenues and expenses are identical to that disclosed in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

Related Party Transactions

Related Party Transactions

 

The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. See Note 4 for details of related party transactions.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, if diluted, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of common stock equivalents such as stock options and convertible debt instruments. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding at December 31, 2024, or 2023.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company evaluates the impact of newly issued accounting pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and other standard-setting bodies on an ongoing basis, and adopts those that are applicable as of their effective dates.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09-Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily by amending disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, and retrospective application is permitted. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its disclosures.

 

In 2024, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2024-03, which requires the disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and can be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
