Going Concern
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
During the past two years, we devoted a substantial amount of capital to build out our platform and as a result our working capital deficit and accumulated deficit have increased significantly. In addition, we have incurred significant debt from both unrelated and related parties to assist in supporting our operations.
As
of September 30, 2023, we had $
We
had a working capital deficit of $
| 10 |
In
January 2023 and June 2023, we recognized a gain on disposal of $
We expect that the consolidation of our platform into HUMBL.com will bring about revenue producing operations to improve the liquidity of the Company moving forward. However, going forward, the effect of our industry on the capital markets may limit our ability to raise additional capital on the terms acceptable to us at the time we need it, if at all. The additional post-COVID challenges related to remote work and travel restrictions that we as a smaller company have faced in striving to meet our disclosure obligations in a timely manner while taking the steps to protect the health and safety of our employees have impacted, and may continue to further impact, our ability to raise additional capital.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable period. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of the uncertainties.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic previously had a profound effect on the U.S. and global economy and may continue to affect the economy and the industries in which we operate, depending on the vaccine rollouts and the emergence of virus mutations.
COVID-19 did not have a material effect on the Consolidated Statements of Operations or the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Our ability to access the capital markets and maintain existing operations is unknown during the COVID-19 pandemic. Any such limitation on available financing and how we conduct business with our customers and vendors would adversely affect our business.
Because the federal government and some state and local authorities are reacting to the many variants of COVID-19, it is creating uncertainty on whether these actions could disrupt the operation of the Company’s business and have an adverse effect on the Company. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak may impact the Company’s results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain its impact.
Impact of Cryptocurrency Bankruptcies
In November 2022, both FTX Trading and BlockFi filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. These bankruptcies have impacted several companies either directly or indirectly. Customers of the HUMBL Wallet use our platform to hold their cryptocurrency. Assets related to user cryptocurrencies safeguarding obligation and the user cryptocurrencies safeguarding obligation represent the Company’s obligation to safeguard customers’ crypto assets in digital wallets on the Company’s platform. The Company safeguards these assets for customers and is obligated to safeguard them from loss, theft, or other misuse. The Company recognizes the users cryptocurrencies liabilities and corresponding assets related to the users cryptocurrencies, on initial recognition and at each reporting date, at fair value of the crypto assets. Any loss, theft, or misuse would impact the measurement of users crypto assets. We removed the HUMBL Pay app from the Apple App Store and Google Play store on January 31, 2023 and have migrated all customers from HUMBL Pay to the HUMBL Wallet. HUMBL Wallet users maintain their own private digital wallets where the cryptocurrency is held and HUMBL has no access to those wallets. In addition, Wyre informed us they will no longer accept any cryptocurrency in our platform effective July 31, 2023. Any funds that remain as of that date will be considered unclaimed funds, and we expect no SAB 121 amounts to be reflected in the future.
We do not, nor have we ever used either of these exchanges to conduct business. We have not been impacted by these bankruptcies. And we continue to monitor the industry and protect our customers’ assets.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or the “SEC”). It is management’s opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. All significant accounting policies related to Tickeri and Monster have been removed. We refer you to the Form 10-K we filed with the SEC on April 6, 2023 for a discussion of those policies.
Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HUMBL, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. HUMBL, Inc. holds
The Company applies the guidance of Topic 805 Business Combinations of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).
For BizSecure, Ixaya, and BM Authentics, the Company accounted for these acquisitions as business combinations and the difference between the consideration paid and the net assets was applied to goodwill as there were no identifiable intangible assets acquired.
Reclassification
The Company has reclassified certain amounts in the 2022 financial statements to comply with the 2023 presentation. These principally relate to classification of certain expenses and liabilities. The reclassifications had no impact on total net loss or net cash flows for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, management’s estimate of provisions required for permanent and temporary differences related to income taxes, liabilities to accrue, estimates of the fair value of goodwill and determination of the fair value of stock awards. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
Cash
consists of cash and demand deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company holds
In 2022, the Company established a service to their HUMBL Pay app users. The service enables HUMBL Pay app users the ability through a Company maintained digital asset wallet with Wyre (“Wyre”) to purchase digital assets (cryptocurrency). As it can take 5 to 8 business days to physically settle funds in the Wyre wallet, there may be delays in digital assets being received by customers and the delivery of BLOCKS in a BitGo wallet (“BitGo”). BitGo is a third-party custodian service that provides the custody for the customers’ BLOCKS.
The BitGo account is not the Company’s account; however, it represents the pool of all BLOCKS held by and allocated to HUMBL Pay users accounts. The users may choose to transfer the purchased BLOCKS to their individual wallets outside of HUMBL.
The
services related to Wyre and BitGo are no longer being offered as we have shut down our HUMBL Pay app. We currently hold
| 12 |
Safeguarding Obligation
Assets related to user cryptocurrencies safeguarding obligation and the user cryptocurrencies safeguarding obligation represent the Company’s obligation to safeguard customers’ crypto assets in digital wallets on the Company’s platform. The Company safeguards these assets for customers and is obligated to safeguard them from loss, theft, or other misuse. The Company recognizes the users’ cryptocurrencies liabilities and corresponding assets related to the users’ cryptocurrencies, on initial recognition and at each reporting date, at fair value of the crypto assets. Any loss, theft, or misuse would impact the measurement of users’ crypto assets.
Wyre informed us they will no longer custody any cryptocurrency for our customers on their platform effective July 31, 2023. Any funds that remain as of that date will be considered unclaimed funds, and we expect no SAB 121 amounts to be reflected in the future upon BLOCKS being removed from the HUMBL platform, which is not accepted in Wyre. We anticipate the removal of all BLOCKS by the end of calendar year end December 31, 2023.
Fixed Assets and Long-Lived Assets
ASC 360 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company has adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2017-04 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.
The Company reviews recoverability of long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from its operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Fixed assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets with infinite lives, such as digital currency are valued at costs and reviewed for indicators of impairment at least annually, or more depending on circumstances.
The Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
1. Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
2. Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
3. Significant negative industry or economic trends.
When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenues based on the verticals in which they were earned. The three principal verticals in which the Company operates today are HUMBL Mobile Wallet, HUMBL Marketplace, and HUMBL Blockchain Services.
HUMBL Mobile Wallet (formerly HUMBL Pay)
The Company is anticipated to earn transaction revenues primarily from fees charged to consumers and merchants on a transaction basis through the Company’s mobile application. These fees may have a fixed and/or variable component. The variable component is generally a percentage of the value of the payment amount and is known at the time the transaction is processed. For a portion of our transactions, the variable component of the fee is eligible for reimbursement when the underlying transaction is approved for a refund. The Company may estimate the amount of fee refunds that will be processed each quarter and record a provision against the net revenues. The volume of activity processed on the platform, which results in transaction revenue, is referred to as Total Payment Volume (“TPV”).
The Company will earn additional fees on transactions where currency conversion is performed via on ramping and off ramping via digital currencies, when swaps are performed on digital currencies, and when cross-border transactions are enabled (i.e., transactions where the merchant and consumer are in different countries), to facilitate the instant transfer of funds for customers from their HUMBL account to their debit card or bank account, and other miscellaneous fees. The Company will rely on third party partners to perform all money transmission services.
The Company may earn revenues from other value-added services, which are comprised primarily of revenue earned through partnerships, referral fees, subscription fees, gateway fees, ticketing, peer-to-peer payments, and other services that will be provided to merchants and consumers. These contracts typically have one performance obligation which is provided and recognized over the term of the contract.
The transaction price is generally fixed and known at the end of each reporting period; however, for some agreements, it may be necessary to estimate the transaction price using the expected value method. The Company is expected to record revenue earned in revenues from other value-added services on a net basis when they are considered the agent with respect to processing transactions.
HUMBL Search Engine
Revenues are derived principally from the sale of advertisements, classifieds fees, and revenue sharing arrangements. Advertising revenue is derived principally from the sale of online advertisements which are based on “impressions” (i.e., the number of times that an advertisement appears in pages viewed by users of our platforms) or “clicks” (which are generated each time users on our platforms click through our advertisements to an advertiser’s designated website) delivered to advertisers.
The Company uses the output method and apply the practical expedient to recognize advertising revenue in the amount to which they have a right to invoice. For contracts with target advertising commitments with rebates, estimated payout is accounted for as a variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur.
HUMBL Tickets
The Company recognizes revenues from HUMBL Tickets primarily from service fees. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we receive in exchange for those goods or services. For service fees and payment processing fees, revenue is recognized when the ticket is sold.
We evaluate whether it is appropriate to recognize revenue on a gross or net basis based upon our evaluation of whether we obtain control of the specified goods or services by considering if we are primarily responsible for fulfillment of the promise, have inventory risk, and have the latitude in establishing pricing and selecting suppliers, among other factors.
For the payment processing service, we determined that we are the principal in providing the service as we responsible for fulfilling the promise to process the payment and we have discretion and latitude in establishing the price of our service. Based on our assessment, we record revenue on a net basis related to our ticketing service and on a gross basis related to our payment processing service. As a result, costs incurred for processing the transactions are included in cost of net revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
| 13 |
Revenue is presented net of indirect taxes, value-added taxes, creator royalties and reserves for customer refunds, payment chargebacks and estimated uncollectible amounts. If an event is cancelled by a creator, then any obligations to provide refunds to event attendees are the responsibility of that creator.
If a creator is unwilling or unable to fulfill their refund obligations, we may, at our discretion, provide attendee refunds. Revenue is also presented net of the amortization of creator signing fees when applicable. The benefit we receive by securing exclusive ticketing and payment processing rights with certain creators from creator signing fees is inseparable from the customer relationship with the creator and accordingly these fees are recorded as a reduction of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
HUMBL Marketplace
The Company recognizes revenue when they transfer control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Net transaction revenues
The net transaction revenues will primarily include final value fees, feature fees, including fees to promote listings, and listing fees from sellers in our Marketplace. The net transaction revenues will also include store subscription and other fees often from large enterprise sellers. The net transaction revenues are reduced by incentives provided to customers.
The Company has identified one performance obligation to sellers on the Marketplace platform, which is to connect buyers and sellers on the secure and trusted Marketplace platforms. Final value fees are recognized when an item is sold on a Marketplace platform, satisfying this performance obligation. There may be additional services available to Marketplace sellers, mainly to promote or feature listings, that are not distinct within the context of the contract.
Accordingly, fees for these additional services are recognized when the single performance obligation is satisfied. Promoted listing fees are recognized when the item is sold and feature and listing fees are recognized when an item is sold, or when the contract expires.
Further, to drive traffic to the platform, the Company will provide incentives to buyers and sellers in various forms including discounts on fees, discounts on items sold, coupons and rewards. Evaluating whether a promotion or incentive is a payment to a customer may require significant judgment. Promotions and incentives which are consideration payable to a customer are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the later of when revenue is recognized or when the incentive is paid or promise to be paid. Promotions and incentives to most buyers on our Marketplace platforms, to whom there is no performance obligation, are recognized as sales and marketing expense. In addition, there may be credits provided to customers when certain fees are refunded. Credits are accounted for as variable consideration at contract inception when estimating the amount of revenue to be recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur and updated as additional information becomes available.
HUMBL Blockchain Services
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into product revenues and services revenues.
Product revenue related contracts with customers begin upon contract inception when a purchase order for a specific customer order of a product to be delivered in the near term. These purchase orders are short-term in nature. Product revenue is recognized at a point in time upon shipment or upon customer receipt of the product, depending on shipping terms. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of goods as transfer of control typically occurs upon shipment or upon customer receipt of the product.
Service revenues primarily consist of revenues derived from maintenance support and the use of the Company’s service platforms and application programming interface (“APIs”) on a subscription basis. The Company generates this revenue from fees for maintenance and support, monthly active user fees, SaaS fees, and hosting and storage fees. In most cases, the subscription or transaction arrangement is a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). The Company applies a time-based measure of progress to the total transaction price, which results in ratable recognition over the term of the contract. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of services as the customer obtains equal benefit from the service throughout the service period.
The Company accounts for individual goods and services separately if they are distinct performance obligations, which often requires significant judgment based upon knowledge of the products and/or services, the solution provided and the structure of the sales contract. In SaaS agreements, the Company provides a service to the customer that combines the software functionality, maintenance and hosting into a single performance obligation. In product-related contracts, a purchase order may cover different products, each constituting a separate performance obligation.
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
An
allowance is based on management’s estimate of the overall collectability of accounts receivable, considering historical losses.
Based on these same factors, individual accounts are charged off against the allowance when management determines those individual accounts
are uncollectible. Credit extended to customers is generally uncollateralized. Past-due status is based on contractual terms. The Company
does not charge interest on accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was
Inventory
Inventory consisted of sports merchandise and memorabilia ranging from autographed jerseys, bats, balls, helmets, and photos being sold in the HUMBL Marketplace. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Management evaluates quantities on hand and physical condition as these characteristics may be impacted by anticipated customer demand for current products.
| 14 |
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted under the asset and liability method. The current charge for income tax expense is calculated in accordance with the relevant tax regulations applicable to the entities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date. Differences between statutory tax rates and effective tax rates relate to permanent tax differences.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company follows ASC 740-10 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. Management evaluates their tax positions on an annual basis.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction and various state tax jurisdictions. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed.
The Company follows ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation and has adopted ASU 2017-09 Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting. The Company calculates compensation expense for all awards granted, but not yet vested, based on the grant-date fair values. Share-based compensation expense for all awards granted is based on the grant-date fair values. The Company policy is to recognize these compensation costs, on a pro rata basis over the requisite service period of each vesting tranche of each award for service-based grants, and as the criteria is achieved for performance-based grants, when such grants are made. For stock options and warrants, the Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the value of those grants. The Company has not had any forfeitures of these grants, and these estimates of value will include a percentage of forfeitures when that percentage is able to be estimated.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Cash paid when shares are directly withheld for tax withholding purposes will be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825 Financial Instruments requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments: The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts payable to related parties, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments.
Leases
The Company follows ASC 842 Leases in accounting for leased properties, when they exceed a one-year term. When the Company enters into leases with a term in excess of one year, they will recognize a lease liability and right of use asset in accordance with the provisions of ASC 842.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as convertible notes, preferred stock, stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants.
Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods presented, so only the basic weighted average number of common shares are used in the computations.
| 15 |
Currency Translation
Ixaya’s functional currency is the Mexican Peso and Humbl Chile SpA’s functional currency is the Chilean Peso. Their reporting currencies are both the United States dollar. Transactions denominated in the functional currency are converted into United States dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction or the average rate for the period in the case of revenue and expense transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities are re-valued into the reporting currency at each balance sheet date using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, with any resulting exchange gains or losses being credited or charged to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Non-monetary assets and liabilities are recorded in the reporting currency using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction and are not revalued for subsequent changes in exchange rates.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. Management evaluates all of the Company’s financial instruments, including convertible notes and warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.
The Company generally uses a Black-Scholes model, as applicable, to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates when needed. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities, is remeasured at the end of each reporting period.
Digital Assets
The Company no longer owns any digital assets or non-fungible tokens. Digital assets were initially recorded at cost and are subsequently remeasured at cost, net of any impairment losses on our consolidated balance sheets. We assigned costs to digital asset transactions on a first-in, first-out basis. Gains or losses were not recorded until realized upon sale(s).
We determined the fair value of our digital assets on a nonrecurring basis, based on quoted prices on the active exchange(s) that we have determined is the principal market for such assets (Level 1 inputs). We performed a quarterly, or more frequent review to identify whether events or changes in circumstances, principally decreases in the quoted prices on active exchanges on any day during the quarter, indicate that it is more likely than not that our digital assets are impaired.
The
cost basis of digital assets were not adjusted upward for subsequent increases in fair value. Such impairment in the value of digital
assets is recorded as a component of other operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. We recorded an impairment
loss of approximately $
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy:
Level 1 inputs: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 inputs: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 inputs: Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.
Segment Reporting
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 280-10 Segment Reporting. This standard requires that companies disclose operating segments based on the manner in which management disaggregates the Company in making internal operating decisions.
| 16 |
Commencing January 1, 2022, the Company simplified their business model to segment their business into two distinct divisions: Consumer and Commercial.
All of the Company’s sales are from North America, therefore the Company has determined that segment reporting by geographic location was not necessary. In the future, the Company will continue to monitor their activity by region to determine if it is feasible to report segment information by location.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe that this new guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.
On March 31, 2022, the SEC added Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 121 (“SAB 121”) into Section FF to Topic 5. The interpretations in this SAB express views of the staff regarding the accounting for entities that have obligations to safeguard crypto-assets held for their platform users. In connection with these services, these entities and/or their agents may safeguard the platform users’ crypto-assets and also maintain the cryptographic key information necessary to access the crypto-asset. The obligations associated with these arrangements involve unique risks and uncertainties not present in arrangements to safeguard assets that are not crypto-assets, including technological, legal, and regulatory risks and uncertainties.
These risks can have a significant impact on the entity’s operations and financial condition. The staff believes that the recognition, measurement, and disclosure guidance in this SAB will enhance the information received by investors and other uses of financial statements about these risks, thereby assisting them in making investment and other capital allocation decisions.
This guidance should be applied no later than the financial statements covering the first interim or annual report ending after June 15, 2022, with retroactive application as of the beginning of the fiscal year to which the interim or annual period relates. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company has reflected the asset and liability related to the user cryptocurrencies safeguarded on the Company’s platform. We do not have any ownership or custody of the digital assets maintained on our platform. We engage the services of Wyre and BitGo to act as the custodians of the digital assets held on our platform. Wyre informed us they will no longer accept any cryptocurrency in our platform effective July 31, 2023. Any funds that remain other than the BLOCKS that is not accepted in Wyre as of that date will be considered unclaimed funds, and we expect no SAB 121 amounts to be reflected in the future.
The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
NOTE 3: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
BLOCK ETX
Effective February 28, 2022, the Company elected to suspend offering the BLOCK ETX products pending further legal analysis regarding how to offer the BLOCK ETXs in a fully compliant manner with the evolving laws and regulatory treatment of such novel products. The Company will continue to monitor the regulatory environment with respect to these products. Per ASC 205-20-50-1(a), the timing of the disposal was February 28, 2022. The Company met the criteria for the BLOCK ETX operations to be classified as held for sale at that time.
All subscription revenues recognized in January and February 2022, were refunded to the subscribers. The only amounts reflected as discontinued operations in 2022 relate to the direct expenses attributable to the BLOCK ETX product line that include direct payroll and direct subcontractor costs. These amounts are reflected in the loss for discontinued operations as noted in the chart below.

The Company has up to one-year from the date of acquisition to adjust any of the acquired assets and liabilities for information obtained during this measurement period.

Digital Assets Owned By HUMBL Pay Users (SAB 121 disclosure):
Under SAB 121, companies are required to present the asset and liability at fair value for any crypto-assets and obligations to safeguard crypto-assets. The Company earns no revenue from providing this service to their customers. It is simply an added benefit that HUMBL Pay customers receive for using the app. The “Buy Crypto, Earn Rewards” service enables HUMBL Pay app users the ability through a Company maintained digital asset wallet with Wyre to purchase digital assets (cryptocurrency) and earn rewards. These rewards are not paid by the Company, but by Wyre itself. As it can take 5 to 8 business days to physically settle funds in Wyre, there may be delays in digital assets being received by customers and the delivery of BLOCKS to a BitGo. BitGo is a third-party custodian service that provides the custody for the customers’ BLOCKS These timing differences occur, and as of December 31, 2022, the BitGo account has been settled and no unfunded liabilities exist.
Upon adoption of this guidance, the Company has reflected the asset and liability related to the user cryptocurrencies safeguarded on the Company’s platform. We do not have any ownership or custody of the digital assets maintained on our platform. We engage the services of Wyre and BitGo to act as the custodians of the digital assets held on our platform. Wyre informed us they will no longer accept any cryptocurrency in our platform effective July 31, 2023. Any funds that remain as of that date, will be considered unclaimed funds, and we expect no SAB 121 amounts to be reflected in the future.

NOTE 15: DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company entered into several convertible notes payable during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, that terms include variable conversion prices (see Note 13). The Company evaluated these terms and determined that the conversion option on the convertible notes payable contained characteristics that required the Company to classify them as derivative liabilities. The Derivative Instruments have been accounted for utilizing ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging.” The Company has incurred a liability for the estimated fair value of Derivative Instruments. The estimated fair value of the Derivative Instruments has been calculated using the Black-Scholes fair value option-pricing model with key input variables provided by management, as of the date of issuance, with changes in fair value recorded as gains or losses on revaluation in other income (expense).
The Company identified embedded features in some of the agreements which were classified as liabilities. These embedded features included a variable conversion price that would convert those instruments into a variable number of common shares. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company treat the instrument as liability and record the fair value of the instrument as derivatives as of the inception date of the instrument and to adjust the fair value of the instrument as of each subsequent balance sheet date.
The Company determined the derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of September 30, 2023. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate.
Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each warrant is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The following assumptions were used on September 30, 2023 and at inception:

NOTE 20: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On May 19, 2022, we were named as a defendant in a putative shareholder derivative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California styled Matt Pasquinelli and Bryan Paysen v. HUMBL, LLC, Brian Foote, Jeffrey Hinshaw and George Sharp, Case No. 22CV0723 AJB BLM. The complaint alleges federal securities law violations by the Company, including false or misleading statements regarding our business and operations, that the HUMBL Pay App did not have the functionality that it promised to investors and that several international business partnerships had a low chance of contributing material revenues to our bottom line, and sales of unregistered securities through our BLOCK Exchange Traded Index products, which plaintiffs allege caused a decline in the market value of our shares of common stock. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages. On October 27, 2022, through our attorneys, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim, which is presently pending for resolution before the court. We intend to vigorously defend the actions of the defendants and contest what we believe are baseless claims. On July 7, 2023, the United States District Court for the Southern District of California granted our Motion to Transfer Venue and transferred the case to the District Court of Delaware. On October 30, 2023, we filed a Motion to Dismiss the lawsuit with the District Court of Delaware.

This case alleges the same claims as the Pasquinelli litigation described above and also seeks unspecified monetary damages. The case is currently stayed by agreement of the parties. We intend to vigorously defend the actions of the defendants and contest what we believe are baseless claims.

Overview
HUMBL, Inc. (“Company” or “HUMBL”) was incorporated in the state of Oklahoma on November 12, 2009. The Company was redomiciled on November 30, 2020 to the state of Delaware.
On December 3, 2020, HUMBL, LLC (“HUMBL LLC”) merged into the Company in what is accounted for as a reverse merger. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, HUMBL LLC exchanged 100% of their membership interests for 552,029 shares of newly created Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred shares were issued to the respective members of HUMBL LLC following the approval by FINRA of a one-for-four reverse stock split of the common shares and the increase in the authorized common shares to 7,450,000,000 shares, and 10,000,000 preferred shares. On July 27, 2023 the Company increased their authorized common stock to 12,500,000,000 shares.
The FINRA approval for both the increase in the authorized common shares and reverse stock split occurred on February 26, 2021. To assume control of the Company, the former CEO, Henry Boucher assigned his 7,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock as well as 550,000,000 shares of common stock to Brian Foote, the President and CEO of HUMBL LLC for a $40,000 note payable. The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock; however, it has voting rights of 10,000 votes per 1 share of stock. After the reverse merger was completed, HUMBL LLC ceased doing business, and all operations were conducted under Tesoro Enterprises, Inc. which later changed its name to HUMBL, Inc. (“HUMBL” or the “Company”).
On June 3, 2021 we acquired Tickeri, Inc. (“Tickeri”) in a debt and stock transaction totaling $20,000,000 following which Tickeri became a subsidiary of HUMBL. On January 31, 2023, the Company sold Tickeri back to the former owners and reflected the loss on disposal in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the full description of these transactions, refer to the Form 10-K filed April 6, 2023.

On June 30, 2021, we acquired Monster Creative, LLC (“Monster”). Monster is a Hollywood production studio that specializes in producing movie trailers and other related content. As part of the acquisition, we entered into certain debt instruments with the founders of Monster that are in default as they were due December 31, 2022. Effective June 30, 2023, the Company and Phantom Power, LLC (the entity that sold Monster to the Company two years earlier) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereby the Company sold back the membership interest they held along with 115,000,000 five-year warrants priced at $0.05 in exchange for the cancellation of the remaining portion of the original $975,000 non-convertible note of which $300,000 remained outstanding, and the cancellation of $1,000,000 of the remaining $3,308,830 in convertible notes that remained outstanding. As part of the sale of the membership interest, Monster took back all assets and liabilities with respect to their company, and the intercompany advances between the Company and Monster were forgiven. The operations of Monster for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are reflected in discontinued operations, and the result of the disposal of Monster is reflected as a gain on disposal in the consolidated statements of operations.

On February 12, 2022, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with BizSecure, Inc. (“BizSecure”).

BizSecure is not considered a significant subsidiary under Regulation S-X Rule 1-02(w). The Company acquired a customer relationship with the US Air Force and BizSecure’s Mobile ID technology. The Company had issued 13,200,000 common shares and 26,800,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that vest quarterly commencing April 1, 2022 for a period of two years as part of this acquisition. On December 30, 2022, as a result of the Company’s failure to timely register the 13,200,000 shares of common stock issued February 12, 2022 BizSecure requested the cancellation of such shares and the 10,050,000 RSUs that vested during 2022.

Upon payment of the last $440,000, the remaining 115,000,000 warrants were cancelled.

Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $186,779 as compared to $21,347 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $165,432. The increase was due in large part to the sales of merchandise from our marketplace which included items from BM Authentics and from services rendered from our Mexican subsidiary, Ixaya.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit
Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $72,634 as compared to $54,672 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $17,962. The increase was primarily due to increases in our marketplace for BM Authentics and our cost of labor for Ixaya.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $4,678,650 as compared to $6,724,792 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $2,046,142. Operating expenses consists of development costs, professional fees and general and administrative expenses and non-cash charges for impairment expenses and stock-based compensation as fully described below. We expect our development costs and professional fees to continue to decrease in our next 12 months as we look to scale back on outside contract labor. Our non-cash charges have already declined from levels in 2022 as our stock-based compensation will be reduced and we have already impaired most of our intangible assets and all of our goodwill.
Development Costs
Development costs which consist of salaried and outsourced technical consultants for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $0 compared with $167,265 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease of development costs related to the roll out of various projects such as the HUMBL Wallet and Social in 2022.
Professional Fees
Professional fees which consist of contracted individuals and companies, legal, audit and accounting costs for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $699,107 compared to $1,663,702 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in professional fees related to the professional fees incurred in regulatory filings including OTC compliance and reporting as well as increases in consultant costs in 2022 versus 2023. We expect that these costs will continue decreasing during 2023.
| 49 |
Settlement
The Company incurred $806,400 and $432,000 in settlement expenses which are included in our operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 related to agreements with individuals for liabilities incurred.

We expect our stock-based compensation expenses to decline in the next 12 months due to the vesting terms of such grants. The awards provided were valued in accordance with ASC 718 at fair value.
Impairment of Intangible Assets including Goodwill and Digital Assets and Inventory
The Company incurred $0 and $381,688 in impairment of our digital assets in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The impairment of the digital assets was based on the valuation changes in the digital assets we held. Effective June 30, 2023, we held no digital assets. We impaired $797,089 in 2023 related to our inventory as a one-time adjustment.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $522,401 compared with $729,596 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $207,195 is related to the reductions in expenses for salaries, penalties, advertising, rent, travel and insurance.
Other Income (Expense)
In the three months ended September 30, 2023 we incurred $1,252,001 in other income, compared to $767,818 in other expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $484,183. The other income and expenses relate to amortization of discounts of $305,803 and $12,614, respectively for the 2023 and 2022 periods, as well as interest expense of $35,009 and $483,135, respectively. Gain on sale of digital assets of $0 and $91,215, and a loss on conversion of convertible notes payable of $897,258 and a loss on conversion of $305,966 for 2023 and 2022, respectively. In 2023, we had $16,515 in derivative expenses and a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities of $2,584 related to convertible notes entered into during this period. We had a loss on sale of fixed assets of $57,318 in 2022. We expect to incur additional other income (expense) in the next 12 months related to our debt.
Net Loss from Continuing Operations
Net loss from operations from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was ($5,816,506) as compared to a net loss of ($7,525,935) for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The $1,709,429 decrease in the net loss was due to the changes noted herein.
Segment Reporting
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 280-10 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. This standard requires that companies disclose operating segments based on the manner in which management disaggregates the Company in making operating decisions.
Less than 3-4% of the Company’s sales are from outside of North America, therefore the Company has determined that segment reporting by geographic location was not necessary. In the future, the Company will continue to monitor their activity by region to determine if it is feasible to report segment information by location.
The following represents segment reporting for continuing operations only:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.
During the past two years, we devoted a substantial amount of capital to build out our platform and as a result our working capital deficit and accumulated deficit have increased significantly. In addition, we have incurred significant debt from both unrelated and related parties to assist in supporting our operations.
As of September 30, 2023, we had $117,791 in cash. During the last two years we have built our platform and grew our operations by acquiring companies to support what we have just recently consolidated into HUMBL.com. The acquisitions increased our debt and our common shares issued as we spent very little cash in these acquisitions. The impact of COVID-19, supply chain issues, challenges in the cryptocurrency market and recent bank failures have had a very minimal impact on the Company’s operations.
We had a working capital deficit of $7,192,076 and $27,408,687 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The majority of our current liabilities is in the form of related party notes, convertible notes and accounts payable. The decrease in working capital is the direct result of these notes as well as the debt incurred related to the cash necessary to continue the development of our mobile wallet. A majority of the Company’s operating expenses in the past two years were the result of non-cash charges such as impairment of intangible assets including goodwill, settlement and stock-based compensation. The actual monthly cash burn of the Company is approximately $386,000 per month at this time and as our core products come online, this is likely to decrease upon our technology being completed. The Company in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 received net proceeds of $2,122,773 from various debt financings, net of repayments, and has received $50,000 as a contribution from our CEO as well as $360,050 from the sale of common stock and warrants and $100,000 that was for a Series C preferred stock issuance when the finalization of the Certificate of Designation is complete. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received $2,000,000 in warrant exercises, $406,040 in capital contributions from our CEO and $5,806,702 in various debt financings, net of repayments, and $425,000 from the issuance of common stock, however, as a result of the operating losses and working capital deficit, management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We expect that the consolidation of our platform into HUMBL.com will bring about revenue producing operations to improve the liquidity of the Company moving forward. However, going forward, the effect of our industry on the capital markets may limit our ability to raise additional capital on the terms acceptable to us at the time we need it, if at all. The additional post-COVID challenges related to remote work and travel restrictions that we as a smaller company have faced in striving to meet our disclosure obligations in a timely manner while taking the steps to protect the health and safety of our employees have impacted, and may continue to further impact, our ability to raise additional capital.
| 51 |
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable period. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of the uncertainties.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, management’s estimate of provisions required for permanent and temporary differences related to income taxes, liabilities to accrue, estimates of the fair value of goodwill and determination of the fair value of stock awards. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the first-in first-out method. The carrying value of inventory is evaluated periodically for excess quantities and obsolescence. Management evaluates quantities on hand and physical condition as these characteristics may be impacted by anticipated customer demand for current products. The allowance is adjusted based on such evaluation, with a corresponding provision included in cost of sales.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825 Financial Instruments requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments: The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts payable to related parties, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for a contract with a customer that is within the scope of ASC 606 only when the five steps of revenue recognition under ASC 606 are met.
We account for revenues based on the verticals in which they were earned, the three principal verticals being (1) HUMBL Wallet, (2) HUMBL Marketplace, and (3) HBS – Commercial division. See “Revenue Recognition” in Note 2 of our Financial Statements.
The Company has a core revenue focus on:
| 1. | HUMBL Wallet | |
| 2. | HUMBL.com – Web Platform | |
| 3. | HBS Commercial Division - (“Powered by HUMBL”) |
The Company plans to drive its revenues through the following channels:
HUMBL Wallet
| ● | The Company will drive consumer acquisition primarily through the digital wallet. Consumers can be monetized inside a digital wallet through the delivery of search advertising, social media advertising, loyalty advertising, credit card payment transactions, ticketing sales, certificates of authenticity and more. |
| 52 |
HUMBL Web Platform
| ● | The Company has developed one of the first digital wallet and web platforms that are connected together. This means that any verified customers using the HUMBL.com web platform, are also connected to a digital wallet for consumer and merchant transactions. | |
| ● | The HUMBL.com platform can be used to drive search advertising, social media advertising, loyalty advertising, credit card payment transactions, ticketing sales, certificates of authenticity, authentic merchandise purchases and more. |
HBS Commercial Services (“Powered by HUMBL”)
| ● | HUMBL also packages its digital wallet and web platform for white-labeling by clients. | |
| ● | Government – HUMBL has secured approval to build a digital wallet for the County of Santa Cruz, CA. This digital wallet will be built in a modular way, that can be replicated for other cities, counties, states and national government transactions and record keeping in areas such as licensing, renewals and certificates. Once built, HUMBL will offer these digital wallets for government in exchange for flat fee, a percentage of transactions, or a mix of both. | |
| ● | Stadiums, Arenas and Leagues – HUMBL has secured approval to serve as the “Official Technology Platform” of the Arena Football League (AFL), which is currently comprised of 16 teams through the 2028 season. HUMBL will deliver digital wallet and web platform services, with the goal of maximizing ticket revenues, merchandise sales and advertising programs across league digital properties. HUMBL will be paid a percentage on every ticket sold by the league, with annual escalators through the end of the 2028 season. HUMBL will seek to replicate this model across other teams, sports leagues, stadiums, arenas and festivals. |
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2023. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were 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 the Commission’s 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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
| 53 |
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On May 19, 2022, we were named as a defendant in a putative shareholder derivative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California styled Matt Pasquinelli and Bryan Paysen v. HUMBL, LLC, Brian Foote, Jeffrey Hinshaw and George Sharp, Case No. 22CV0723 AJB BLM. The complaint alleges federal securities law violations by the Company, including false or misleading statements regarding our business and operations, that the HUMBL Pay App did not have the functionality that it promised to investors and that several international business partnerships had a low chance of contributing material revenues to our bottom line, and sales of unregistered securities through our BLOCK Exchange Traded Index products, which plaintiffs allege caused a decline in the market value of our shares of common stock. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages. On October 27, 2022, through our attorneys, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim, which is presently pending for resolution before the court. We intend to vigorously defend the actions of the defendants and contest what we believe are baseless claims. On July 7, 2023, the United States District Court for the Southern District of California granted our Motion to Transfer Venue and transferred the case to the District Court of Delaware. We filed a Motion to Dismiss with the District Court of Delaware on October 30, 2023.
On July 14, 2022, we were named as ae defendant in a putative shareholder derivative class action lawsuit filed in the Delaware Chancery Court styled Mike Armstrong, derivatively on behalf of HUMBL, Inc. v. Brian Foote, Jeffrey Hinshaw, George Sharp, Michele Rivera, and William B. Hoagland (Case No. 2022-0620). This case alleges the same claims as the Pasquinelli litigation described above and also seeks unspecified monetary damages. The case is currently stayed by agreement of the parties. We intend to vigorously defend the actions of the defendants and contest what we believe are baseless claims.
