(currently being renamed CognoGroup), on February 13, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized certain corporate actions, including the transfer of assets and liabilities between subsidiaries of the Company, the renaming of Recruiter.com Recruiting Solutions, LLC to CognoGroup, LLC, and the reorganization of Recruiter.com Recruiting Solutions, LLC to a subsidiary of Atlantic Energy Solutions, Inc. Additionally, the Board of Directors authorized that management may take such steps necessary to change the name of Recruiter.com Group, Inc. to reflect its purpose and a corresponding change to the Company's stock symbol.

On June 5, 2023, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement ("GoLogiq Stock Purchase Agreement") with GoLogiq Inc. ("Seller"), a Delaware corporation ("GoLogiq"). GoLogiq owns all of the issued and outstanding membership interests (the "Membership Interests") of GOLQ LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, that was further amended on August 18 and 29, 2023. On February 23, 2024, the Company entered into a certain Technology License and Commercialization Agreement with GoLogiq, Inc. that supersedes and replaces in its entirety the GOLQ Agreement, as amended by the August 29 Amendment and the August 18 Amendment. Under the GOLQ Licensing Agreement, GOLQ granted the Company a worldwide, exclusive license (the "GOLQ License") to the Company to develop its fintech technology (the "GOLQ Technology") and sell products derived thereof, including its Createapp, Paylogiq, Gologiq, and Radix AI technology and products (the "Licensed Products"), for a term of 10 years, with automatic two (2) year renewals as further described therein (the "Term"). In exchange with such license, the Company issued to GOLQ such number of shares of Company common stock that represents 19.99% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company common stock on the business day prior to the effective date or 392,155 shares (see Note 5). Following the issuance of the Shares, GOLQ owned 16.66% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company common stock. In addition, the Company shall pay to GOLQ a royalty of eight percent (8%) of net sales of Licensed Products, as defined therein, during the Term. Further, GOLQ grants to the Company the option to purchase the GOLQ Technology and the Licensed Products for a purchase price of $400,000 for the duration of the Term, subject to shareholder approval if required under applicable laws and regulations at the time of notice of exercise.

On March 28, 2024, the Company and GOLQ entered into an Amendment to Technology License and Commercialization Agreement (the "Amendment"). Under the Amendment, the Company and GOLQ agreed to and added Section 3.3 to further detail technical assistance from GOLQ to the Company. In addition, Section 5.1 was amended such that the royalty was lowered from eight percent (8%) to five percent (5%) for which the Company granted to GOLQ a warrant to purchase two hundred ninety-two thousand (292,000) shares of Company Common Stock (the "Warrant") for a price equal to $0.01 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The Warrant may be exercised at any time commencing upon the date that is six (6) months from the Effective Date and terminating at 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the three (3) year anniversary of the Effective Date, unless the closing sale price for the common stock of the Company has closed at or above $5.00 for ten consecutive trading days. Further, the Amendment contains a blocker provision that limits shares issuable under the Warrant such that the shares beneficially owned by GOLQ does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). These GOLQ Warrants were valued at $480,358 and together with the common shares issued to GOLQ, discussed in Note 8, were treated as consideration for the licenses purchased from GOLQ (see Note 5).

On August 16, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Job Mobz Purchase Agreement") with Job Mobz Inc., a California corporation ("Job Mobz"). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Job Mobz Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell and assign its right, title, and interest in the domain name and the assets generally used to operate the business associated therewith to Job Mobz for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,800,000, subject to certain adjustments. The Company entered into a number of amendments to the August 16, 2023, Asset Purchase Agreement with Job Mobz, resulting in the extension of the closing date to September 2, 2024. Furthermore, in 2024 the Company received a non-refundable payment of $100,000 from Job Mobz during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that has been recorded as a gain on assets sale within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. On April 9, 2024, the Company received $150,000 as the second part of the non-refundable payment from Job Mobz. On July 29, 2024, the Company received $150,000 as the third part of the non-refundable payment, and on September 16, 2024, the Company received the fourth and final payment of $1,393,430. Total consideration amounting to approximately $1.8 million. The payments were credited towards and count against the cash portion of the Purchase Price from the original Asset Purchase Agreement.

Although the approval of the Job Mobz Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein were not required to be approved by the shareholders of the Company pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes, the rules and regulation of Nasdaq or the Company's bylaws, the Company previously agreed, pursuant to the terms of the Job Mobz Agreement to seek stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, and included such proposal in its Proxy Statement filed with the Commission on September 15, 2023, and amended on November 8, 2023, November 24, 2023, December 8, 2023, and December 11, 2023. On February 13, 2024, the Company obtained the consent of Job Mobz to proceed with the transactions contemplated by the Job Mobz Agreement without obtaining such shareholder approval. The transaction closed on September 24, 2024 as noted above.

The Company helps businesses accelerate and streamline their recruiting and hiring processes by providing on-demand recruiting software and services. The Company leverages its expert network of recruiters to place recruiters on a project basis. During the first, second, and third quarters of 2024, the Company primarily focused on completing strategic transactions with Job Mobz and GoLogiq.

Through the Company's Recruiting Solutions division, the Company also provides consulting, staffing, and full-time placement services to employers, leveraging our platform and rounding out our services. The Company shifted its focus during 2023, by selling its consulting and staffing business and discontinued its full-time placement service business. During the first, second and third quarters of 2024, the Company operated primarily in its Marketplace Solutions line of business, which consists primarily of job board and recruitment advertising activities through its Mediabistro website, located at https://www.mediabistro.com.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures contained in these condensed financial statements are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, is derived from the Company's audited financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

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

Discontinued Operations

See Note 6, Discontinued Operations, for a discussion of the Company's significant accounting policy surrounding the sale of substantially all of the Company's staffing and consulting services revenue line in connection with the sale of its right, title, and exclusive interest in certain client contracts and associated staff, contractors, business information, and relationships to Insigma and Akvarr.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management's estimates and assumptions. Included in these estimates are assumptions used to estimate collection of accounts receivable, fair value of marketable securities, fair value of warrant liabilities, fair value of intangible assets and goodwill, fair value of capitalized software, fair value of non-monetary transactions, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, and valuation of stock-based compensation expense.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions, and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had $1,962,465 and $638,299 in excess of the FDIC limit, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024.

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. We generate revenue from the following activities:

·

Software Subscriptions: We offer a subscription to our web-based platforms that help employers recruit talent. Our platforms allow customers to source, contact, screen, and sort candidates using data science, advanced email campaigning tools, and predictive analytics. As part of our software subscriptions, we offer enhanced support packages and On Demand recruiting support services for an additional fee. Additional fees may be charged when we place a candidate with our customer, depending on the subscription type. In such cases, if the candidate ceases to be employed by the customer during the initial 90 days (the 90-day guarantee), we refund the customer in full for all fees paid by the customer. In December of 2022, we sold one of our software platforms to Talent, Inc. that was used in the delivery of the subscription service. Subsequently, we continued providing the service, but leveraged third-party tools in the delivery of services.

·

Recruiters On Demand: Consists of a consulting and staffing service specifically for the placement of professional recruiters, which we market as Recruiters on Demand. Recruiters On Demand is a flexible, time-based solution that provides businesses of all sizes access to recruiters on an outsourced, virtual basis for help with their hiring needs. As with other consulting and staffing solutions, we procure for our employer clients qualified professional recruiters, and then place them on assignment with our employer clients. We derive revenue from Recruiters on Demand by billing the employer clients for the placed recruiters' ongoing work at an agreed-upon, time-based rate. We directly source recruiter candidates from our network of recruiters. In addition, we also offer talent planning, talent assessment, strategic guidance, and organizational development services, which we market as our "Talent Effectiveness" practice. Companies prepay for a certain number of consulting hours at an agreed-upon, time-based rate. We source and provide the independent consultants that provide the service. In March 2023, we announced a strategic partnership with Job Mobz to transition certain Recruiters on Demand clients and staff to Job Mobz in exchange for an ongoing revenue stream. (See below Revenue Share).

Table of Contents

·	Full-time Placement: Consists of providing referrals of qualified candidates to employers to hire staff for full-time positions. We generate full-time placement revenue by earning one-time fees for each time employers hire one of the candidates that referred. Employers alert us of their hiring needs through our Platform, or other communications. We source qualified candidate referrals for the employers' available jobs through independent recruiter users that access the Platform and other tools. We support and supplement the independent recruiters' efforts with dedicated internal employees we call our internal talent delivery team. Our talent delivery team selects and delivers candidate profiles and resumes to our employer clients for their review and ultimate selection. Upon the employer hiring one or more of our candidate referrals, we earn a "full-time placement fee", an amount separately negotiated with each employer client. The full-time placement fee is typically either a percentage of the referred candidates' first year base salary or an agreed-upon flat fee.
·	Marketplace: Our "Marketplace" category comprises services for businesses and individuals that leverage our online presence. For businesses, this includes sponsorship of digital newsletters, online content promotion, social media distribution, banner advertising, and other branded electronic communications, such as in our quarterly digital publication on recruiting trends and issues. We earn revenue as we complete agreed upon marketing related deliverables and milestones using pricing and terms set by mutual agreement with the customer. In some cases, we earn a percent of revenue a business receives from attracting new clients by advertising on our online platform. Businesses can also pay us to post job openings on our proprietary job boards to promote open job positions they are trying to fill. In addition to its work with direct clients, we categorize all online advertising and affiliate marketing revenue as Marketplace. For individuals, Marketplace includes services to assist with career development and advancement, including a resume distribution service which involves promoting these job seekers' profiles and resumes to assist with their procuring employment, and upskilling and training. Our resume distribution service allows a job seeker to upload his/her resume to our database, which we then distribute to our network of recruiters on the Platform. We earn revenue from a one-time flat fee for this service. We also offer a recruiter certification program which encompasses our recruitment related training content, which we make accessible through our online learning management system. Customers of the recruiter certification program use a self-managed system to navigate through a digital course of study. Upon completion of the program, we issue a certificate of completion and make available a digital badge to certify their achievement for display on their online recruiter profile on the Platform. Additionally, we partner with Careerdash, a high-quality training company, to provide Recruiter.com Academy, an immersive training experience for career changers.

·	Consulting and Staffing: Consists of providing consulting and staffing personnel services to employers to satisfy their demand for long- and short-term consulting and temporary employee needs. We generate revenue by first referring qualified personnel for the employer's specific talent needs, then placing such personnel with the employer, but with our providers acting as the employer of record for us, and finally, billing the employer for the time and work of our placed personnel on an ongoing basis. Our process for finding candidates for consulting and staffing engagements largely mirrors our process for full-time placement hiring. This process includes employers informing us of open consulting and temporary staffing opportunities and projects, sourcing qualified candidates through the Platform and other similar means, and, finally, the employer selecting our candidates for placement after a process of review and selection. We bill these employer clients for our placed candidates' ongoing work at an agreed-upon, time-based rate, typically on a weekly schedule of invoicing (See Note 6).
·	Revenue Share: We refer certain clients to a third party in exchange for a referral fee. The amount of the referral fee is dependent upon whether the referral is an existing client of ours and what services we currently provide that client, or a client of a third party who is not historically serviced by us. Referral fees under the revenue share arrangement are subject to certain minimum and maximum payout amounts. We record referral fees earned under our revenue share arrangement on a net basis.

We have a sales team and sales partnerships with direct employers as well as vendor management system companies and managed service companies that help create sales channels for clients that buy staffing, direct hire, and sourcing services. Once we have secured the relationship and contract with the interested Enterprise customer, the delivery and product teams will provide the service to fulfil any or all of the revenue segments.

Revenues as presented on the condensed consolidated statements of operations represent services rendered to customers less sales adjustments and allowances.

Software subscription revenues are recognized over the term of the subscription for access to services and/or our web-based platform. Revenue is recognized monthly over the subscription term. Talent effectiveness subscription revenues are recognized over the term of the subscription when services are provided. Any payments received prior to the time passing to provide the subscription services are recorded as a deferred revenue liability. Revenue generated from the enhanced support package and On Demand support are recognized at the point-in-time when the service is provided. Revenue generated from placement fees that are related to the software subscription are recognized at the point-in-time when the 60 or 90-day guarantee expires.

Recruiters On Demand services are billed to clients as either monthly subscriptions or time-based billings. Revenues for Recruiters on Demand are recognized on a gross basis when each monthly subscription service is completed. Talent Effectiveness consulting services are billed to clients upfront for a period of 12 months. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis monthly over the period the consulting services are provided.

Full-time placement revenues are recognized on a gross basis when the guarantee period specified in each customer's contract expires. No fees for direct hire placement services are charged to the employment candidates. Any payments received prior to the expiration of the guarantee period are recorded as a deferred revenue liability. Payments for recruitment services are typically due within 90 days of completion of services.

Marketplace advertising revenues are recognized on a gross basis when the advertising is placed and displayed or when lead generation activities and online publications are completed, which is the point at which the performance obligations are satisfied. Payments for marketing and publishing are typically due within 30 days of completion of services. Job posting revenue is recognized at the end of the period the job is posted. Marketplace career services revenues are recognized on a gross basis upon distribution of resumes or completion of training courses, which is the point at which the performance obligations are satisfied. Payments for career services are typically due upon distribution or completion of services.

Consulting and Staffing Services revenues represent services rendered to customers less sales adjustments and allowances. Reimbursements, including those related to travel and out-of-pocket expenses, are also included in the net service revenues and equivalent amounts of reimbursable expenses are included in costs of revenue. We record substantially all revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of this line of revenues and expenses. We have concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because we have the task of identifying and hiring qualified employees, and our discretion to select the employees and establish their compensation and duties causes us to bear the risk for services that are not fully paid for by customers. Consulting and staffing revenues are recognized when the services are rendered by the temporary employees. We assume the risk of the acceptability of the employees to customers. Payments for consulting and staffing services are typically due within 90 days of completion of services.

Revenue share revenues represent a percentage of revenue we have earned in relation to client referrals we made to a third party. We record revenue in relation to revenue share on a net basis as an agent under this arrangement. We have concluded that net reporting is appropriate because we do not provide the underlying services and arrangements to meet the demands of the client that we referred to the third party. Revenue is recorded based on a net percentage of revenue that is shared between us and the third party and earned upon delivery of the services by the third party. The third party provides the underlying services in this arrangement.

Deferred revenue results from transactions in which we have been paid for services by customers, but for which all revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the deferred revenues are recognized.

Sales tax collected is recorded on a net basis and is excluded from revenue.

Revenue from international sources was approximately 1.62% and 0.01% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and 2.02% and 0.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of employee costs, third party staffing costs and other fees, outsourced recruiter fees and commissions based on a percentage of Recruiting Solutions gross margin.

Accounts Receivable

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses". In accordance with ASC 326, an allowance is maintained for estimated forward-looking losses resulting from the possible inability of customers to make the required payments (current expected losses). The amount of the allowance is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience and known financial factors regarding specific customers.

Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Management periodically assesses the Company's accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Any required allowance is based on specific analysis of past due accounts and also considers historical trends of write-offs. Past due status is based on how recently payments have been received from customers. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made. The Company usually does not require collateral. We have recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $890,339 and $1,051,411 as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Bad debt (recovery) expense was ($15,894) and ($24,537) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 and ($85,535) and $175,463 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized over an asset's estimated useful life using the straight-line method beginning on the date an asset is placed in service. The Company regularly evaluates the estimated remaining useful lives of the Company's property and equipment to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was $6,367 and $6,257, respectively and was $21,354 and $18,772 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers and Vendors

As of September 30, 2024, three customers accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance, at 81% in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2023, one customer accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance, at 93%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenue, at 43% in the aggregate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, no customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenue.

We use a related party firm located overseas for software development and maintenance related to our website and the platform underlying our operations. One of our former employees and principal shareholders is an employee of this firm and exerts control over this firm (see Note 11).

We were a party to a license agreement with a related party firm (see Note 11).

We had used a related party firm to provide certain employer of record services (see Note 11)

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The Company expenses all advertising and marketing costs as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs were $14,854 and $85,193 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Advertising and marketing costs were $107,373 and $321,229 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and are included in sales and marketing on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and discloses the fair value of assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a hierarchical framework for measuring fair value, and enhances fair value measurement disclosure.

ASC 825 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets to which we have access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company's investment in available for sale securities and warrant derivative liabilities are measured at fair value. The securities are measured based on current trading prices using Level 1 fair value inputs. The Company's derivative instruments are valued using Level 3 fair value inputs. In fair valuing these instruments, the income valuation approach is applied, and the valuation inputs include the contingent payment arrangement terms, projected revenues and cash flows, rate of return, and probability assessments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable represent fair value based upon their short-term nature.

A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The tables below summarize the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023:

		Fair Value at September 30,			Fair Value Measurement Using
		2024			Level 1			Level 2			Level 3
Marketable Securities		$	135,612			$	135,612			$	-			$	-

Business Combinations

For all business combinations (whether partial, full or step acquisitions), the Company records 100% of all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, generally at their fair values with any excess of purchase price over the net assets recorded as goodwill.

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from business combinations and are expensed as incurred. If the business combination provides for contingent consideration, the Company records the contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date. Changes in fair value of contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date, such as earn-outs, are recognized as follows: 1) if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, the contingent consideration is not re-measured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity, or 2) if the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, the changes in fair value and accretion costs are recognized in earnings. The increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration can result from changes in anticipated revenue levels and changes in assumed discount periods and rates.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of the assets acquired from Genesys in the third quarter of 2019, including customer contracts and intellectual property, the assets acquired from Scouted and Upsider during the first quarter of 2021, the assets acquired from OneWire during the second quarter of 2021, the assets acquired from Parrut and Novo Group during the third quarter of 2021, and the assets acquired from GoLogiq in February of 2024. Amortization expense is recorded on the straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives.

Goodwill

Goodwill is comprised of the purchase price of business combinations in excess of the fair value assigned at acquisition to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment for its reporting units on an annual basis, or when events occur, or circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value.

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment on December 31st of each year or as impairment indicators dictate (see Note 5).

When evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill, management first assess a range of qualitative factors, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for the Company's products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel, and the overall financial performance for each of the Company's reporting units. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we then proceed to the quantitative impairment testing methodology.

Under the quantitative method we compare the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, with its fair value, as determined using an appropriate valuation method. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of impairment to be recognized is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value.

When required, we may arrive at our estimates of fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology which includes estimates of future cash flows to be generated by specifically identified assets, as well as selecting a discount rate to measure the present value of those anticipated cash flows. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and includes making assumptions about projected growth rates, industry-specific factors, working capital requirements, weighted average cost of capital, and current and anticipated operating conditions. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce different results.

Long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. When impairment indicators exist, the Company estimates the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the remaining life of the asset in measuring whether the long-lived asset should be written down to fair value. Measurement of the amount of impairment would be based on generally accepted valuation methodologies, as deemed appropriate. If the carrying amount is greater than the undiscounted cash flows, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to the asset's fair value. An impairment loss is recognized immediately as an operating expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Reversal of previously recorded impairment losses are prohibited (see Note 5).

Marketable Securities

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The unrealized gain (loss) on the marketable securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, has been included in a separate line item on the statement of operations, Gain (Loss) on change in fair value of Marketable Securities.

Software Costs

We capitalize certain software development costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed, and it is probable that the software will be used as intended. Capitalization ceases after the software is operational; however, certain upgrades and enhancements may be capitalized if they add functionality. Capitalized software costs include only (i) external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining software, (ii) compensation and related benefits for employees who are directly associated with the software project and (iii) interest costs incurred while developing internal-use software.

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

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 it 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.

Convertible Instruments

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with various accounting standards.

ASC 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity" provides that instruments convertible predominantly at a fixed rate resulting in a fixed monetary amount due upon conversion with a variable quantity of shares ("stock settled debt") be recorded as a liability at the fixed monetary amount.

ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as "The Meaning of Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument."

ASC 815-40 provides that generally if an event is not within the entity's control and could require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02: "Leases (Topic 842)" whereby lessees need to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2019, using the effective date method and applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected not to reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, and (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company will assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company's assessment will be based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments. The Company has elected not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.

Product Development

Product development costs are included in operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and consist of support, maintenance and upgrades of our website and IT platform and are charged to operations as incurred.

Loss Per Share

The Company follows ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share" for calculating the basic and diluted earnings (or loss) per share. Basic earnings (or loss) per share are computed by dividing earnings (or loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (or loss) per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential shares of common stock had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $503,643 as a result of a triggered down-round feature in the Company's warrants, and as a result, the amount was reflected as a reduction to the income available to common stockholders in the basic EPS calculation. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the diluted earnings (or loss) per share computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents in amounts of 956,903 and 1,039,501 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.

Business Segments

The Company uses the "management approach" to identify its reportable segments. The management approach designates the internal organization used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company's reportable segments. Using the management approach, the Company determined that it has one operating segment.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There have not been any recent changes in accounting pronouncements and ASU issued by the FASB that are of significance or potential significance to the Company except as disclosed below.

In the period from January 2024 through October 2024 the FASB has not issued any additional accounting standards updates that have a significant impact on the Company. Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

Management believes it may not have sufficient cash to fund its liabilities and operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

20

Table of Contents

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company's management has evaluated whether there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and has determined that substantial doubt existed as of the date of the end of the period covered by this report. This determination was based on the following factors: (i) the Company used cash of approximately $1.7 million in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and has a working capital deficit of approximately $1.9 million at September 30, 2024; (ii) the Company's available cash as of the date of this filing will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations for the next 12 months; (iii) the Company will require additional financing for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, to continue at its expected level of operations; and (iv) if the Company fails to obtain the needed capital, it will be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of its development activities or perhaps cease operations. In the opinion of management, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern as of the date of the end of the period covered by this report and for one year from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management expects to continue a course of significantly reduced operations until such time that it raises additional capital. During this period, management expects to continue focusing on certain strategic transactions, including the spin-out of certain assets and liabilities to its Atlantic Energy Solutions subsidiary and the integration of the GoLogiq license assets into its business.

NOTE 5 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill is derived from our 2019 business combination as well as our five business combinations in the first three quarters of 2021. The aggregate goodwill recognized from our five 2021 acquisitions was $6,696,208 while the remaining goodwill from the 2019 acquisition was $3,517,315 as of December 31, 2020. The Company performed a goodwill impairment test during 2021 using market data and discounted cash flow analysis. Based on that test, we have determined that the carrying value of goodwill related to the 2019 acquisition of Genesys was further impaired in the amount of $2,530,325 during 2021. The Company performed its goodwill impairment test during 2022, based on the net losses and net cash used in operations in 2022 and a decline in the valuation of the business, managements application of the formula to compute goodwill impairment resulted in an impairment charge in fiscal 2022 of $582,114. The Company performed its impairment test during 2023 which resulted in no additional impairment.

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the periods ended September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets for the periods ended September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, are summarized as follows:

Amortization expense of intangible assets was $235,640 and $321,963 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and $822,738 and $955,391 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 related to the intangible assets acquired in business combinations and licensing agreements. Future amortization of intangible assets is expected to be approximately as follows: 2024 (remainder of year), $180,324; 2025, $814,130; 2026, $524,089; 2027, $40,343; and thereafter, $22,246. The Company began amortizing intangible assets from the Scouted, Upsider and OneWire acquisitions in the second quarter of 2021 and the Parrut and Novo Group acquisitions in the third quarter of 2021.

The company performed its impairment test during 2022 using the market and income approach, and determined that the Company's customer contracts, software acquired, internal use software developed, and domains were impaired by $3,838,425. The Company performed its impairment test during 2023 which resulted in no additional impairment. In 2024 the Company performed its impairment test during 2024 and determined that the domains connected to Parrut were fully impaired and therefore recorded $24,881 of impairment expense.

On March 31, 2019, the Company acquired Intangible assets totaling $1,910,072 from Genesys, including customer contracts and intellectual property which are being amortized over the three-year useful life.

During 2021, the Company acquired certain intangible assets pursuant to our Scouted, Upsider, OneWire, Parrut, and Novo Group acquisitions. These intangible assets aggregate approximately $11.6 million and consist primarily of sales and client relationships, contracts, intellectual property, partnership and vendor agreements and certain other assets. We completed the accounting and valuations of the assets acquired.

On November 21, 2022, the Company entered into a Domain Name sale and Ownership Transfer Agreement with Chief Executive Group ("CEG"). Per the agreement, the Company agreed to sell and transfer to CEG all ownership rights in and to the domain name CFO-Job.com and its associated social media property ("Domain Assets').

Half of the advertising consideration is to be used within one year of this agreement, and the remaining balance is to be used within two years of the agreement. The Company additionally recorded a prepaid advertising expense within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company utilized approximately $54,000 of advertising from CEG.

On December 5, 2022, The Company entered into an asset purchase agreement in which the Company sold to a third party Upsider's candidate sourcing and engagement platform and all related intellectual property for $1,000,000 in cash consideration. The recorded value of the internal use software developed at the date of the sale was $1,000,000 resulting in no gain or loss on the sale. For a period of eighteen months from the date of the sale, the Company will have continued access to this platform.

On February 23, 2024, the Company entered into a certain Technology License and Commercialization Agreement with GoLogiq, Inc. (the "GOLQ") that supersedes and replaces in its entirety the GOLQ Agreement, as amended by the August 29 Amendment and the August 18 Amendment. Under the GOLQ Licensing Agreement, GOLQ grants the Company a worldwide, exclusive license (the "GOLQ License") to the Company to develop its fintech technology (the "GOLQ Technology") and sell products derived thereof, including its Createapp, Paylogiq, Gologiq, and Radix AI technology and products (the "Licensed Products"), for a term of 10 years, with automatic two-year renewals.

On March 28, 2024, the Company and GOLQ entered into an Amendment to Technology License and Commercialization Agreement to decrease the future royalty from eight percent to five percent for which the Company agreed to grant GOLQ a warrant to purchase 292,000 shares of Company common stock for a price equal to $0.01 per share. As a result of this transaction the company issued GOLQ 392,155 shares of Company's common stock valued at $647,055, based on the quoted trading price on the grant date, and warrant to purchase 292,000 shares of Company's common stock valued at $480,358 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

NOTE 7 - LOANS PAYABLE

Promissory Notes Payable

We issued a promissory note for $1,750,000 pursuant to the Parrut acquisition agreement dated July 7, 2021. The note had a term of 24 months, accrued interest at 6%, and originally matured on July 1, 2023. The note required monthly payments of $77,561. On October 19, 2022, Parrut agreed to subordinate their note to a promissory note issued to Montage Capital II, L.P. In return, we restructured the payment schedule for the Parrut note which was set to mature on August 31, 2023, and bears interest at 12%. On August 31, 2023, we did not make payments of amounts due under the note and defaulted with Parrut.

On March 27, 2024, the Company and Parrut signed an agreement to convert the current outstanding principal, accrued interest, and penalties in aggregate of $258,714 into 168,414 shares of common stock. As a result of this transaction the Company recognized $14,959 in loss on extinguishment of debt recorded within other expense on condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance on the promissory note with Parrut was $0 and $238,723, respectively.

We issued a promissory note for $3,000,000 pursuant to the Novo Group acquisition agreement dated August 27, 2021. The note originally had a term of 30 months, bears interest at 6%, and was scheduled to mature on February 1, 2024. The note requires monthly payments of $85,000 for the first 12 months, $110,000 for months 13 through 24, $155,000 for months 25 through 29, and $152,357 for month 30. In April 2022, we negotiated a reduction in this promissory note with Novo Group due to employee turnover that occurred following the acquisition. We entered into an agreement with Novo Group to reduce the outstanding principal balance by $600,000 and changed the maturity date to November 1, 2023. The reduction in the promissory note was accounted for as a gain on debt extinguishment in 2023.

In October 2022, Novo Group entered into a Subordination Agreement ("Subordination Agreement"), pursuant to which Novo agreed to subordinate all its indebtedness and obligations we owe to Novo to all the indebtedness and obligations we owe to Montage Capital.

In February 2023, we entered into an additional Amendment to the Promissory Note with Novo Group, Inc. (the "Novo Amendment").

Each of the series of preferred stock and warrants required us to reserve shares of common stock in the amount equal to two times the common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of the warrants. We did not comply in part due to our attempts to manage the Delaware tax which increases to a maximum of $200,000 as the authorized capital increases without the simultaneous increase in the number of shares outstanding. In May 2020 following stockholder approval at a special meeting the Company effected a reincorporation from Delaware to Nevada and a simultaneous increase in our authorized common stock from 31,250,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares.

In January 2022, the number of shares authorized under the 2021 Plan was automatically increased to 228,530 shares pursuant to an escalation provision in the plan. The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and our related corporations by enhancing the ability of the Company to attract and retain qualified employees, consultants, officers, and directors, by creating incentives and rewards for their contributions to the success of the Company and its related corporations. The 2021 Plan is administered by our Board or by the Compensation Committee. The following awards may be granted under the 2021 Plan:

	●	non-qualified options ("NSOs")
	●	awards of our restricted common stock
	●	stock appreciation rights ("SARs")
	●	restricted stock units ("RSUs")

Any option granted under the 2021 Plan must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant and not less than $4.00 per share, but the exercise price of any ISO granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our outstanding common stock must not be less than 110% of fair market value on the date of the grant. The plans further provide that with respect to ISOs the aggregate fair market value of the common stock underlying the options which are exercisable by any option holder during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. The exercise price of any NSO granted under the 2021 Plan is determined by the Board at the time of grant but must be at least equal to fair market value on the date of grant. The term of each plan option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee, provided that no option may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant. The terms of any other type of award under the 2021 Plan are determined by the Board at the time of grant.

The plans further provide that with respect to ISOs the aggregate fair market value of the common stock underlying the options which are exercisable by any option holder during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. The exercise price of any NSO granted under the 2021 Plan is determined by the Board at the time of grant but must be at least equal to fair market value on the date of grant.

Recruiter.com Group, Inc. v. BKR Strategy Group.

We are currently pursuing two related collections matters against BKR Strategy Group. Since 2013, BKR Strategy Group has provided talent acquisition strategy and services to top companies. Starting in the third quarter of 2021, BKR Strategy Group subcontracted Recruiter.com to perform on Demand recruiter services on behalf of BKR Strategy Group's clients. Although payments for services rendered were initially received in a timely fashion, BKR Strategy Group's balance grew throughout the third and fourth quarters of 2021. This led to BKR Strategy Group executing a Promissory Note with a payment schedule for $500,000 on November 30, 2021, with a personal guarantee from its business principal as part of the note. After failing to meet the payment schedule and after repeated attempts to collect the balance due, we retained the law firm of Berkovitch & Bouskila, PLLC and filed two lawsuits against BKR Strategy Group on February 18, 2022, the first, to collect on unpaid invoices and the second, to enforce the promissory note, for a total sum of $1,400,000. On March 24, 2022, BKR Strategy Group made a counterclaim against us for $500,000 on the grounds of alleged overbilling. Management denies the basis for the counterclaim and expects to vigorously defend itself from this counterclaim. Outside counsel for the company has advised that at this stage in the proceedings, it cannot offer an opinion as to the probable outcome. As it is not possible to estimate if a loss will be incurred, there has been no accrual.

On June 21, 2022, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County ruled in favor of the Company that BKR Strategy Group owes the Company $500,000, plus interest at 12% since November 22, 2021, through the entry of judgement in the lawsuit related to the enforcement on the Promissory Note executed by BKR Strategy Group. Proceedings in the other lawsuit remain ongoing.

Recruiter.com Group, Inc. v. Pipl, Inc.

On or about September 6, 2023, Recruiter.com Group, Inc. (the "Company") was served with a civil lawsuit filed by Pipl, Inc. in the Superior Court of the State of Connecticut, Judicial District of New Britain. The lawsuit alleges that the Company failed to pay for goods and/or services provided by Pipl, Inc. between January 3, 2021, and December 7, 2022, with the claimed amount due exceeding $266,562.59 plus interest, costs, and attorneys' fees. The Company retained counsel and filed a counterclaim for breach of contract, alleging that Pipl Inc. failed to adequately perform under the contract, as well as claims for breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing and unjust enrichment. Given that discovery has not been completed, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the case or estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, but continues to evaluate the case with counsel as more information becomes available.

Recruiter.com Group, Inc. v. LinkedIn

On March 13, 2024, Recruiter.com Group, Inc. ("the Company") became involved in legal proceedings initiated by Creditors Adjustment Bureau, Inc. ("CAB"), as documented in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, case number 24CV433086. CAB's complaint, filed on March 13, 2024, alleges that the Company failed to fulfill payment obligations under contracts with CAB's assignor, totaling approximately $213,894.44. CAB seeks recovery of the owed amounts, interest, attorney fees, costs, and other damages deemed appropriate by the court. The Company has been defending itself vigorously, including filing a cross-complaint for indemnity against Onewire Holdings, LLC and NOVO Group, Inc. At this stage, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the case or estimate the potential financial impact.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report"). In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those set forth under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on April 16, 2024.

For purposes of this Quarterly Report, "Nixxy," "we," "our," "us," or similar references refers to Nixxy, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.

Overview

Nixxy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (along with its subsidiaries, "we", "the Company", "us", and "our"), is a holding company that, through its subsidiaries, operates recruitment and career-related software platforms. Historically, the Company offered additional recruitment-related services, including on-demand contract recruiting and staffing.

We have seven subsidiaries, Recruiter.com, Inc., Recruiter.com Recruiting Solutions LLC ("Recruiting Solutions"), VocaWorks, Inc. ("VocaWorks"), Recruiter.com Scouted Inc. ("Scouted"), Recruiter.com Upsider Inc. ("Upsider"), Recruiter.com OneWire Inc. ("OneWire"), and Recruiter.com Consulting, LLC ("Recruiter.com Consulting"). Additionally, the Company owns a controlling interest in Atlantic Energy Solutions, Inc., a Colorado company that is traded on the OTC Markets (OTC:AESO).

The Company is currently undergoing a strategic transformation, having sold its staffing business in 2023 and sold its Recruiter.com website in Q3 of 2024. The Company has announced plans to shift its focus, along with its license agreement with GoLogiq, and spin out the recruitment-related businesses to Atlantic Energy Solutions, which is currently undergoing a name change to CognoGroup, Inc. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete its planned spinout and strategic transformation.

Operating Businesses and Revenue

We generate revenue or have generated from the following activities:

·

Software Subscriptions: We offered a subscription to our web-based platforms that help employers recruit talent. Our platforms allow customers to source, contact, screen, and sort candidates using data science, advanced email campaigning tools, and predictive analytics. As part of our software subscriptions, we offered enhanced support packages and On Demand recruiting support services for an additional fee. Additional fees may be charged when we place a candidate with our customer, depending on the subscription type. In such cases, if the candidate ceases to be employed by the customer during the initial 90 days (the 90-day guarantee), we refund the customer in full for all fees paid by the customer. In December of 2022, we sold one of our software platforms to Talent, Inc. that was used in the delivery of the subscription service. Subsequently, we continued providing the service, but leveraged third-party tools in the delivery of services.

36

Table of Contents

·

Recruiters On Demand: Consists of a consulting and staffing service specifically for the placement of professional recruiters, which we market as Recruiters On Demand. Recruiters On Demand is a flexible, time-based solution that provides businesses of all sizes access to recruiters on an outsourced, virtual basis for help with their hiring needs. As with other consulting and staffing solutions, we procure for our employer clients qualified professional recruiters, and then place them on assignment with our employer clients. We derive revenue from Recruiters On Demand by billing the employer clients for the placed recruiters' ongoing work at an agreed-upon, time-based rate. We directly source recruiter candidates from our network of recruiters. In addition, we also offer talent planning, talent assessment, strategic guidance, and organizational development services, which we market as our "Talent Effectiveness" practice. Companies prepay for a certain number of consulting hours at an agreed-upon, time-based rate. We source and provide the independent consultants that provide the service. In March 2023, we announced a strategic partnership with Job Mobz to transition certain Recruiters on Demand clients and staff to Job Mobz in exchange for an ongoing revenue stream. We continued providing Recruiters on Demand service through a platform and anticipate continuing this work alongside Job Mobz as part of the Managed Services portion of the Asset Purchase Agreement, once the transaction closed.

·	Full-time Placement: Consists of providing referrals of qualified candidates to employers to hire staff for full-time positions. We generated full-time placement revenue by earning one-time fees for each time that employers hire one of the candidates that we refer. Employers alert us of their hiring needs through our Platform, or other communications. We sourced qualified candidate referrals for the employers' available jobs through independent recruiter users that access the Platform and other tools. We supported and supplemented the independent recruiters' efforts with dedicated internal employees we call our internal talent delivery team. Our talent delivery team selects and delivers candidate profiles and resumes to our employer clients for their review and ultimate selection. Upon the employer hiring one or more of our candidate referrals, we earned a "full-time placement fee", an amount separately negotiated with each employer client. The full-time placement fee is typically either a percentage of the referred candidates' first year base salary or an agreed-upon flat fee.
·	Marketplace: Our "Marketplace" category comprises services for businesses and individuals that leverage our online presence. For businesses, this includes sponsorship of digital newsletters, online content promotion, social media distribution, banner advertising, and other branded electronic communications, such as in our quarterly digital publication on recruiting trends and issues. We earn revenue as we complete agreed upon marketing related deliverables and milestones using pricing and terms set by mutual agreement with the customer. In some cases, we earn a percent of revenue a business receives from attracting new clients by advertising on our online platform. Businesses can also pay us to post job openings on our proprietary job boards to promote open job positions they are trying to fill. In addition to its work with direct clients, we categorize all online advertising and affiliate marketing revenue as Marketplace. For individuals, Marketplace includes services to assist with career development and advancement, including a resume distribution service which involves promoting these job seekers' profiles and resumes to assist with their procuring employment, and upskilling and training. Our resume distribution service allows a job seeker to upload his/her resume to our database, which we then distribute to our network of recruiters on the Platform. We earn revenue from a one-time flat fee for this service. We also offer a recruiter certification program which encompasses our recruitment related training content, which we make accessible through our online learning management system. Customers of the recruiter certification program use a self-managed system to navigate through a digital course of study. Upon completion of the program, we issue a certificate of completion and make available a digital badge to certify their achievement for display on their online recruiter profile on the Platform.

·	Consulting and Staffing: Consists of providing consulting and staffing personnel services to employers to satisfy their demand for long- and short-term consulting and temporary employee needs. We generate revenue by first referring qualified personnel for the employer's specific talent needs, then placing such personnel with the employer, but with our providers acting as the employer of record for us, and finally, billing the employer for the time and work of our placed personnel on an ongoing basis. Our process for finding candidates for consulting and staffing engagements largely mirrors our process for full-time placement hiring. This process includes employers informing us of open consulting and temporary staffing opportunities and projects, sourcing qualified candidates through the Platform and other similar means, and, finally, the employer selecting our candidates for placement after a process of review and selection. We bill these employer clients for our placed candidates' ongoing work at an agreed-upon, time-based rate, typically on a weekly schedule of invoicing. Through a strategic sale to Futuris, Inc. In October 2023, we exited the Consulting and Staffing line of business, and consider it discontinued.
	Revenue Share: We refer certain clients to a third party in exchange for a referral fee. The amount of the referral fee is dependent upon whether the referral is an existing client of ours and what services we currently provide that client, or a client of a third party who is not historically serviced by us. Referral fees under the revenue share arrangement are subject to certain minimum and maximum payout amounts. We record referral fees earned under our revenue share arrangement on a net basis.

The costs of our revenue primarily consist of employee costs, third-party staffing costs and other fees, outsourced recruiter fees and commissions based on a percentage of our gross margin.

Quarter Overview

In the third quarter of 2024, the period ending September 30, 2024, the Company continued to concentrate on finalizing its strategic transactions critical to its evolution. The Company is in a period of profound change after significantly reducing its operating footprint to focus primarily on strategic financial matters. The Company also continued preparing for its planned spin-out transaction of certain operating assets to its Atlantic Energy Solutions subsidiary, which is currently being renamed CognoGroup, a Nevada Corporation ("CognoGroup"). CognoGroup is planned to hold the current recruitment-related technology assets, including Mediabistro, a job board for the media industry, as well as other assets and projects of the Company, such as its AI-enabled CandidatePitch software and RecruitingClasses.com.

Product development efforts were limited to continued improvements to Mediabistro and its underlying job board technology, as well as technical projects related to the expected sale of Recruiter.com.

Sales and Marketing

Our sales and marketing expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, was $15 thousand compared to $85 thousand for the corresponding three-month period in 2023, a reduction of $70 thousand, which reflects a decrease in technology and advertising expenses.

Table of Contents

Based on cash on hand as of September 30, 2024, of approximately $2.2 million, we do not have the capital resources to meet our working capital needs for the next 12 months.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We incurred net losses and negative operating cash flows since inception. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a net loss of $15.6 million. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenue that is sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on us obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable.

Our historical operating results indicate substantial doubt exists related to our ability to continue as a going concern. We can give no assurances that any additional capital that we are able to obtain, if any, will be sufficient to meet our needs, or that any such financing will be obtainable on acceptable terms. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations or substantially curtail our commercial activities. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

To date, equity offerings have been our primary source of liquidity and we expect to fund future operations through additional securities offerings.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management's estimates and assumptions. Included in these estimates are assumptions used to estimate collection of accounts receivable, fair value of marketable securities, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in asset acquisitions and the estimated useful life of assets acquired, fair value of contingent consideration, asset acquisitions and business combinations, fair value of derivative liabilities, fair value of securities issued for acquisitions and business combinations, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, fair value of intangible assets and goodwill, fair value of capitalized software, fair value of non-monetary transactions, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, and valuation of stock based compensation expense.

Revenue Recognition

Policy

We recognize revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB"), Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). Revenues are recognized when control is transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration we expect 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.

Table of Contents

Revenues as presented on the statement of operations represent services rendered to customers less sales adjustments and allowances.

Software subscription revenues are recognized over the term of the subscription for access to services and/or our web-based platform. Revenue is recognized monthly over the subscription term. Talent effectiveness subscription revenues are recognized over the term of the subscription when services are provided. Any payments received prior to the time passing to provide the subscription services are recorded as a deferred revenue liability. Revenue generated from the enhanced support package and On Demand support are recognized at the point-in-time when the service is provided. Revenue generated from placement fees that are related to the software subscription are recognized at the point-in-time when the 60 or 90-day guarantee expires.

Recruiters On Demand services are billed to clients as either monthly subscriptions or time-based billings. Revenues for Recruiters On Demand are recognized on a gross basis when each monthly subscription service is completed. Talent Effectiveness consulting services are billed to clients upfront for a period of 12 months. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis monthly over the period the consulting services are provided.

Full-time placement revenues are recognized on a gross basis when the guarantee period specified in each customer's contract expires. No fees for direct hire placement services are charged to the employment candidates. Any payments received prior to the expiration of the guarantee period are recorded as a deferred revenue liability. Payments for recruitment services are typically due within 90 days of completion of services.

Marketplace Solutions revenues are recognized either on a gross basis when the advertising is placed and displayed or when lead generation activities and online publications are completed, which is the point at which the performance obligations are satisfied. Payments for marketing and publishing are typically due within 30 days of completion of services.

Marketplace advertising revenues are recognized on a gross basis when the advertising is placed and displayed or when lead generation activities and online publications are completed, which is the point at which the performance obligations are satisfied. Payments for marketing and publishing are typically due within 30 days of completion of services. Job posting revenue is recognized at the end of the period the job is posted. Marketplace career services revenues are recognized on a gross basis upon distribution of resumes or completion of training courses, which is the point at which the performance obligations are satisfied. Payments for career services are typically due upon distribution or completion of services.

Consulting and Staffing Services revenues represent services rendered to customers less sales adjustments and allowances. Reimbursements, including those related to travel and out- of-pocket expenses, are also included in the net service revenues and equivalent amounts of reimbursable expenses are included in costs of revenue. We record substantially all revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of this line of revenues and expenses. We have concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because we have the task of identifying and hiring qualified employees, and our discretion to select the employees and establish their compensation and duties causes us to bear the risk for services that are not fully paid for by customers. Consulting and staffing revenues are recognized when the services are rendered by the temporary employees. We assume the risk of acceptability of the employees to customers. Payments for consulting and staffing services are typically due within 90 days of completion of services.

Revenue share revenues represent a percentage of revenue we have earned in relation to client referrals we made to a third party. We record revenue in relation to revenue share on a net basis as an agent under this arrangement. We have concluded that net reporting is appropriate because we do not provide the underlying services and arrangements to meet the demands of the client that we referred to the third party. Revenue is recorded based on a net percentage of revenue that is shared between us and the third party and earned upon delivery of the services by the third party. The third party provides the underlying services in this arrangement.

Deferred revenue results from transactions in which we have been paid for services by customers, but for which all revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the deferred revenues are recognized.

Table of Contents

Sales tax collected is recorded on a net basis and is excluded from revenue.

Goodwill

Goodwill is comprised of the purchase price of business combinations in excess of the fair value assigned at acquisition to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized. We test goodwill for impairment for its reporting units on an annual basis, or when events occur, or circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value.

We perform our annual goodwill impairment assessment on December 31st of each year or as impairment indicators dictate.

When evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill, management first assess a range of qualitative factors, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for our products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors such as strategy and changes in key personnel, and the overall financial performance for each of our reporting units. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we then proceed to the impairment testing methodology using an appropriate valuation method.

We compare the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, with its fair value, as determined by its estimated discounted cash flows. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of impairment to be recognized is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value.

When required, we may arrive at our estimates of fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology which includes estimates of future cash flows to be generated by specifically identified assets, as well as selecting a discount rate to measure the present value of those anticipated cash flows. Estimating future cash flows requires significant judgment and includes making assumptions about projected growth rates, industry-specific factors, working capital requirements, weighted average cost of capital, and current and anticipated operating conditions. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows could produce different results.

Discontinued Operations

In accordance with ASC 205-20 Discontinued Operations, the results of certain Recruiter Businesses are presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations. The Company evaluated the divestitures of the Recruiter Business in accordance with ASC 205-20 and determined that transactions in aggregate represented a strategic shift that had a major impact on the Company. Accounting for discontinued operations and the related gain on sale of discontinued operations requires us to make estimates and judgements regarding the allocation of costs and net asset values to discontinued operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(a)	Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of our management, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer had concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting as identified below.

(b)	Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsor Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 framework). Based on that evaluation, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2024.

A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects our ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with GAAP such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, (1) we lack a sufficient number of employees to properly segregate duties and provide adequate monitoring during the process leading to and including the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and (2) do not have the in-house technical expertise to identify and analyze complex or unusual transactions for proper accounting treatment. Accordingly, management's assessment is that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have worked to establish all the checks and balances needed for all financial areas of our business. We hired a consultant in mid-2020 to establish best practices and help us document and implement these. This consultant is a CPA and has a significant background in running the accounting and budgeting process for public companies. We began adopting these best practices during the fourth quarter of 2020. We retained an outsourced firm with a panel of CPA consultants in 2021 to assist in building internal controls and preparing financial reports.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are currently pursuing two related collections matters against BKR Strategy Group. Since 2013, BKR Strategy Group has provided talent acquisition strategy and services to top companies. Starting in the third quarter of 2021, BKR Strategy Group subcontracted Recruiter.com to perform on Demand recruiter services on behalf of BKR Strategy Group's clients. Although payments for services rendered were initially received in a timely fashion, BKR Strategy Group's balance grew throughout the third and fourth quarters of 2021. This led to BKR Strategy Group executing a Promissory Note with a payment schedule for $500,000 on November 30, 2021, with a personal guarantee from its business principal as part of the note. After failing to meet the payment schedule and after repeated attempts to collect the balance due, we retained the law firm of Berkovitch & Bouskila, PLLC and filed two lawsuits against BKR Strategy Group on February 18, 2022, the first, to collect on unpaid invoices and the second, to enforce the promissory note, for a total sum of $1,400,000. On March 24, 2022, BKR Strategy Group made a counterclaim against us for $500,000 on the grounds of alleged overbilling. Management denies the basis for the counterclaim and expects to vigorously defend itself from this counterclaim. Outside counsel for the company has advised that at this stage in the proceedings, it cannot offer an opinion as to the probable outcome. As it is not possible to estimate if a loss will be incurred, there has been no accrual.

On June 21, 2022, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County ruled in favor of the Company that BKR Strategy Group owes the Company $500,000, plus interest at 12% since November 22, 2021, through the entry of judgement in the lawsuit related to the enforcement on the Promissory Note executed by BKR Strategy Group. Proceedings in the other lawsuit remain ongoing.

On or about September 6, 2023, Recruiter.com Group, Inc. (the "Company") was served with a civil lawsuit filed by Pipl, Inc. in the Superior Court of the State of Connecticut, Judicial District of New Britain. The lawsuit alleges that the Company failed to pay for goods and/or services provided by Pipl, Inc. between January 3, 2021, and December 7, 2022, with the claimed amount due exceeding $266,562.59 plus interest, costs, and attorneys' fees. The Company retained counsel and filed a counterclaim for breach of contract, alleging that Pipl Inc. failed to adequately perform under the contract, as well as claims for breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing and unjust enrichment. Given that discovery has not been completed, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the case or estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, but continues to evaluate the case with counsel as more information becomes available.

On March 13, 2024, Recruiter.com Group, Inc. ("the Company") became involved in legal proceedings initiated by Creditors Adjustment Bureau, Inc. ("CAB"), as documented in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, case number 24CV433086. CAB's complaint, filed on March 13, 2024, alleges that the Company failed to fulfill payment obligations under contracts with CAB's assignor, totaling approximately $213,894.44. CAB seeks recovery of the owed amounts, interest, attorney fees, costs, and other damages deemed appropriate by the court. The Company has been defending itself vigorously, including filing a cross-complaint for indemnity against Onewire Holdings, LLC and NOVO Group, Inc. At this stage, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the case or estimate the potential financial impact.

Except for the aforementioned proceedings described above, as of the date of this filing, there are no material pending legal or governmental proceedings relating to our Company or properties to which we are a party, and, to our knowledge, there are no material proceedings to which any of our directors, executive officers, or affiliates are a party adverse to us or which have a material interest adverse to us.
