(Formerly OneMeta AI)
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of OneMeta Inc. (“we”, “our”, “OneMeta” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s fiscal 2023 financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the financial statements for fiscal 2023, have been omitted.
OneMeta was originally incorporated as Promotions on Wheels Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on July 3, 2006. On December 26, 2008, the name of the Company was changed to Blindspot Alert, Inc. On September 11, 2009, the Company’s name was changed to WebSafety, Inc. On March 23, 2021, the Company’s name was changed to VeriDetx Corp. On June 8, 2021, the Company’s name was changed to WebSafety, Inc. On July 10, 2022, the Company’s name was changed to OneMeta AI. On June 20, 2023, the Company’s name was changed to OneMeta Inc.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates in the accompanying financial statements involving the valuation of common stock and stock based compensation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts
receivable are comprised of unsecured amounts due from customers. The Company carries its accounts receivable at their face amounts less
an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is recognized based on management’s estimate of likely losses per
year, based on past experience and review of customer profiles and the aging of receivable balances. As of March 31, 2024 and December
31, 2023, there was
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are valued at cost. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
| Estimated | ||
| Category | Useful Lives | |
| Building and improvements |
| 7 |
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and accounts payable. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their respective fair values as they are short-term in nature or carry interest rates that approximate market rates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts With Customers, which was adopted on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, with no impact to the Company’s comparative financial statements. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or services. Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:
| ● | Identification of the contract with a customer |
| ● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract |
| ● | Determination of the transaction price |
| ● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
| ● | Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
We enter into revenue arrangements in which a customer may purchase a combination of subscriptions, consulting services, training and education. Fully hosted subscription services (“SaaS”) allow customers to access hosted software during the contractual term without taking possession of the software.
We recognize revenue ratably over the contractual service term for hosted services that are priced based on a committed number of transactions where the delivery and consumption of the benefit of the services occur evenly over time, beginning on the date the services associated with the committed transactions are first made available to the customer and continuing through the end of the contractual service term. Over-usage fees and fees based on the actual number of transactions are billed in accordance with contract terms as these fees are incurred and are included in the transaction price of an arrangement as variable consideration. Revenue based on per-minute or per-word basis, where invoicing is aligned to the pattern of performance, customer benefit and consumption, are typically accounted for utilizing the “as-invoiced” practical expedient. Revenue for subscriptions sold as a fee per period is recognized ratably over the contractual term as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the underlying service.
Licenses for software may be purchased as a subscription for a fixed period of time or based on usage. Revenue from licenses is recognized at the point in time the software is available to the customer, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met, and classified as revenue on our Statements of Operations. Our interpretation or translation services fees are based on a per-minute or per-word basis, are typically accounted for utilizing the “as-invoiced” practical expedient.
Our services are comprised primarily of fees related to training, and education for certain licenses that are recognized at a point in time. Training and education revenues are recognized as the services are performed.
| 8 |
Disaggregation of revenues
The Company disaggregates revenue between subscription and license revenue and training and education revenue.
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 | Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 | |||||||
| Subscription and license revenue | $ | $ | ||||||
| Training and education | ||||||||
| Total revenue | $ | $ | ||||||
Deferred Revenue
Deferred
revenue includes service and support contracts and represents the undelivered performance obligation of agreements that are typically
for one year or less. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deferred revenue was $
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, the number of weighted average shares outstanding, as well as the amount of net loss per share are presented for basic and diluted per share calculations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, reflected in the accompanying statement of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Note 3. Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however, there is no assurance of additional funding being available.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited financial statements included in our registration statement filed pursuant to Section 12(g) of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 25, 2023, and Amendment No 2, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 19, 2023. (“Registration Statement”). In addition to historical condensed financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
The Company operates to develop artificial intelligence products that enable companies and individuals to reach their highest potential by eliminating language barriers in daily communications by providing high-quality, accurate, and efficient interpretation and translation services using natural language processing (NLP) technology. The Company’s focus is on developing a proprietary architecture that is faster and more accurate than any other company, with a commitment to providing superior quality services to its customers. The Company intends to serve a wide variety of markets and customers and will be focused on becoming a leader in the creation of pragmatic products for the interpretation and translation industry.
Business Summary
At the time of its initial formation in 2006, the Company was a development stage company that offered live promotions and marketing events using custom-built mobile displays.
Today, the Company is developing a stack of cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies that solve everyday problems with an innovative and pragmatic approach. Using natural language processing sentiment analytics and behavioral prediction to metaverse enhancement, the Company is attempting to solve problems that will elevate our human condition.
The Company has recently launched two products: Verbum, which is a platform that enables fluent and effective communication among individuals that do not speak the same language; and Verbum SDK. Verbum SDK is a software development kit that allows developers to create multi-language translation tools for their own use.
Our Products
The Company’s current products described in detail below have proprietary technology and associated patents. The Company is currently working on patents for future product offerings.
| ● | Verbum. Verbum supports near-real time web-based conversations, discussions, meetings, and online chats in 112 languages and 40 dialects, enabling fluent and effective communication among individuals that do not speak the same language. This product is distributed through the Company’s online platform, direct sales to businesses and organizations, and the Company is attempting to develop partnerships with existing video conferencing providers. The competitive position is against other video conferencing providers that also offer live interpretation services, such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet. The Company believes its main competitors are organizations that supply human interpreters which can be 10X times more expensive than the Company’s Verbum product. The primary market for the Company’s Verbum product is for organizations or individuals that require real-time interpretation services. | |
| ● | Verbum SDK. Verbum Software Developer Kit allows software programmers, potential channel partners, and corporate development teams to integrate the Company’s powerful multilingual communications platform Verbum™ — into new or existing Software-as-a-Service applications and/or client/server programs, helping them remove communication barriers for multinational organizations and/or those serving customers who speak/read different languages. This product may be distributed through partnerships with software developers or through direct sales to businesses and organizations that require interpretation services for their software. The competitive position would be against other software development kit providers that also offer interpretation services, such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon Translate. The market for this product is for software developers and businesses that require interpretation services for their software applications. |

Components of Our Results of Operations
Net Revenue
We currently derive our revenue primarily from the sale of our products.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist primarily of research and development, salaries and benefits, infrastructure and equipment, professional services and distribution and delivery.

Net Revenue
Our net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $5,387, compared to $3,160 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2,227. We had little revenue for both periods as our products have been in the development stage and we have not secured any large scale customer contracts.
Operating Expenses

| 14 |
Other Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other expense was $6,879. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, other expense was $9,891. Other expense decreased by $3,012 primarily due to decreased interest expense in 2024.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $937,097, compared to $542,413 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increased net loss of $394,684. The increased net loss was primarily due to $399,923 of increased operating expenses.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures for our company. Consequently, our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2024. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
