Formerly ALTERNATIVE FUEL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
ConneXionONE Corp. (the "Company") is a North Carolina corporation, was incorporated on November 12, 1997 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Caspian Development Group, Inc.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosure required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. Not all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements are presented. The interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computations as the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reported period.
The Company's significant estimates include income taxes provision and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; the fair value of financial instruments; the carrying value and recoverability of long-lived assets; and the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Those significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
9 |
Related parties
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the Related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Commitments and contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
10 |
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"). Under the fair value recognition provisions, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, based on the terms of the awards. The Company calculates the fair value of option grants utilizing the Black-Scholes pricing model and estimates the fair value of the stock based upon the estimated fair value of the common stock.
In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2018-07"). ASU 2018-07 expands the guidance in ASC 718 to include share-based payments for goods and services to non-employees and generally aligns it with the guidance for share-based payments to employees. In accordance with ASU 2018-07, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the underlying equity instrument. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional-paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.
Revenue recognition
The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Topic 606 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. ASC 606 requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
The adoption of Topic 606 has no impact on revenue amounts recorded on the Company's financial statements as the Company has not generate any revenues.
Income Tax Provisions
The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires 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 tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Section 740-10-25") with regards to uncertainty income taxes. Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Earnings per share excludes all potential dilutive shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The unvested restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of basic and dilutive earnings (loss) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
11 |
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2024 of $75,580,600without any revenues. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
While the Company has not commenced operations and generate revenues, the Company's cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company's daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets comprised of payments made for mobile app development in progress. The amounts were $647,000as of September 30, 2024.
NOTE 5 - OTHER LIABILITIES
Other liabilities comprised of the following:

Overview
ConneXionONE Corp. formerly Alternative Fuel Technologies, Inc. is a development stage company. Our business plan includes acquisitions of operating companies. The focus of the Company's business involves developing and operating a decentralized social media platform. Our business plan incorporates decentralized concept of social media platforms which may, at some point, provide viable alternatives to established platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
Our user-driven algorithm tool is designed to empower users to regain control of their social media experience. By customizing their own feeds based on their preferences and interests, users can avoid irrelevant or unwanted content and focus on what matters to them. This feature also enables users to interact with each other in a way that enhances their overall experience on the platform, creating a more personalized and engaging social network.
Our social media platform also incorporates AI-powered content creation assistance feature by analyzing the user's input and providing suggestions to improve the quality and relevance of the content. When a user is creating a post, the AI algorithm will analyze the text and make suggestions for better word choices, grammar corrections, and even provide topic suggestions to improve engagement. The user can then choose to accept or reject these suggestions, making it a customizable and personalized experience. This feature aims to help users create better content more efficiently and effectively, ultimately enhancing their experience on the platform.
Our social media platform values user participation, as we believe that users are the core reason why social media platforms exist; we have implemented a unique reward system that allows users to earn rewards by engaging and interacting with the content on our platform. Whether it's liking a post, leaving a comment, or sharing a video, every action taken by the user is rewarded that can be exchanged for various perks and benefits. This incentivizes users to be more active on the platform and create a vibrant and engaging community. By putting the power back into the hands of the users, we hope to create a more user-friendly and democratic social media experience that is enjoyable for everyone involved.
Moreover, our creator's marketplace feature allows users to monetize their own unique content by licensing it to local businesses or brands for advertising and marketing purposes. This provides an opportunity for content creators to earn income from their work and also ensures that advertisers have access to high-quality, relevant content.
15 |
We feel that our business plan addresses the need for additional development in the decentralized social media industry.
User-driven algorithm is a tool for users to gain control of the social networking platform. Our decentralized social media ("DSM") platform is a sharing/consortium platform that will benefit Users, Creators, Advertisers, and Content Providers.
DSM Platform comprises of 4 major components, Content Aggregator, Mobile Advertising Mediation, User-driven algorithm, and creator's marketplace:
Content Aggregator: analyzes the content type and formats (text/picture and video) · sorts and distributes appropriate content to users' app based on user preferences · categorizes, matches, and tags content with suitable/appropriate advertisements.
Mobile Advertising Mediation: accepts mobile ads from businesses, product/service providers, ad agencies, etc. · categorizes, matches, and associates the received ads with the most relevant and appropriate contents · Distributes ads with associated content to users' mobile app.
User-driven algorithm: provides users with the ability to customize their own feeds based on their preferences and interests, allows users to interact with each other in a way that enhances their overall experience on the platform.
Creator's marketplace: allows users to license their own unique content to local businesses or brands for advertising and marketing purposes.
The analysis will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our management. As of the date of this filing, we have not entered into definitive agreements. In our continued efforts to analyze potential business plan, we intend to consider the following factors:
· | Potential for growth, indicated by anticipated market expansion or new technology; | |
· | Competitive position as compared to other DSM platforms of similar size and experience within the social media within the industry as a whole | |
· | Strength and diversity of management, and the accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, services, professional assistance, and other required items | |
· | Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by the Company or from operations, through the sale of additional securities or convertible debt, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources | |
· | The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced in the marketplace; and | |
· | Other relevant factors |
In applying the foregoing criteria, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Due to our limited capital available for investigation, we may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired. Additionally, we will be competing against other entities that may have greater financial, technical, and managerial capabilities for identifying and completing our business plan.
We are unable to predict when we will, if ever, identify and implement our business plan. We anticipate that proposed business plan would be made available to us through personal contacts of our directors, officers and principal stockholders, professional advisors, broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community and others who may present unsolicited proposals. In certain cases, we may agree to pay a finder's fee or to otherwise compensate the persons who introduce the Company to business opportunities in which we participate.
16 |
As of this filing, we have not raised any capital and our business is under development stage, and the Company is focused on raising capital for its business plans. We have engaged developers and started the development of our first mobile app for the decentralized social media platform of the Company.
On July 29, 2022, the Company's board and shareholders have approved the following actions by amending the Company's Amended Articles of Incorporation to effect: (1) a corporate name changed from Alternative Fuel Technologies, Inc. to ConneXionONE Corp.; and (2) a one-for-one thousand (1:1,000) reverse stock split of the Company's class of common stock with all other aspects to remain unchanged. Both the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change were effective on April 17, 2023.
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 1,000 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the next whole number. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from approximately 71,850,033,691 shares to approximately 71,850,644 shares, subject to further adjustment for the rounding up of fractional shares.
Following the Name Change, any stock certificates that reflect the former name of the Company will continue to be valid. Certificates reflecting the Name Change will be issued in due course as old stock certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer to the Company's transfer agent.
The Common Stock began trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on the OTC Market on April 17, 2023. The trading symbol for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change is "CNNN." The new symbol will be changed to "AFTCD" at first; and after 20 business days, the symbol will change to "CNNN". The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split and the Name Change is 208211102.
On June 1, 2022, the Company has entered into a Software Development and Operation Service Agreement with a developer to develop and maintain its social media platform application. The Company has recognized payments of $647,000 to the developer as of September 30, 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 2 to our financial statements as included in the SEC report filed. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a "smaller reporting company," as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information in this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024.
Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective at December 31, 2023. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The limitation of the Company's internal control over financial reporting was due to the applied risk-based approach which is indicative of many small companies with limited number of staff in corporate functions. The identified weaknesses were:
· | Material Weakness - We did not maintain effective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because we (i) lacked a sufficient complement of personnel with a level of accounting expertise and an adequate supervisory review structure that is commensurate with our financial reporting requirements and (ii) we lacked controls over the disclosure of our business operations. |
· | Lack of segregation of duties Significant Deficiencies - Inadequate segregation of duties. |
We expect to be materially dependent upon third parties to provide us with accounting consulting services for the foreseeable future which we believe will mitigate the impact of the material weaknesses discussed above. Until such time as we have a chief financial officer with the requisite expertise in U.S. GAAP and establish an audit committee and implement internal controls and procedures, there are no assurances that the material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures will not result in errors in our financial statements which could lead to a restatement of those financial statements.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
