Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to Form 10-K. Use of Estimates The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reported period. These assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on the financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. The Company’s management periodically reviews estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise these estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used in the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of $ 259,212 1,155,343 250,000 1,850 905,343 Prepaid Expenses As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $ 6,321 2,903 Property and Equipment Property and equipment, which consists of computer equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are included in general and administrative expenses on our statement of operations. However, expenditures for additions or improvements that significantly extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized in the period incurred. At the time assets are sold or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts and the related gains or losses are reflected in the statements of operations in gains from sales of property and equipment, net. The estimated useful life for computer equipment is three years. We evaluate the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives assigned to computer equipment at the end of each fiscal year. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $ 3,499 2,160 Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when services are realized. The Company’s revenues are accounted for under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers” (“ASC 606”). The fees are generally fixed at the point of sale and all consideration from contracts is included in the transaction price. The Company’s contracts do not include multiple performance obligations or material variable consideration. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following: (i) Identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) Identify the performance obligation in the contract; (iii) Determine the transaction price; (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. We derive our revenue principally from service fees paid by the client for the use of our platform in connection with our advertising technology platform which incentivizes users to leave reviews of our clients. Our sole performance obligation in the transaction is to connect clients with end-users to facilitate the completion of a successful review on the user’s social media accounts. Judgment is required in evaluating the presentation of revenue on a gross versus net basis based on whether we control the service provided to the end-user and are the principal in the transaction (gross), or we arrange for other parties to provide the service to the end-user and are the agent in the transaction (net). We have concluded that we are the agent in our current transactions as we arrange for users to provide the service to the clients and the users post reviews on social media accounts controlled by the users. The assessment of whether we are considered the principal or the agent in a transaction could impact the accounting for these transactions and change the timing and amount of revenue recognized. The percentage fee the Company charges is not variable. Cost of Goods Sold The Company classifies its credit card transaction fees as cost of goods sold. Client Deposits Thumzup’s clients generally prepay to utilize the Company’s technology platform. All client deposits for services are recorded as a client deposit liability upon receipt. Upon a user leaving a qualified review for the client, as defined in Thumzup’s Mobile Terms and Conditions, the Company transfers the fee payable to the user to a user account balances liability account and realizes the fees payable to the Company as revenue. The Company holds all client deposits and user account balances in cash or cash-equivalents, including money market accounts. Capitalized Software Development Costs We capitalize certain costs related to the development and enhancement of the Thumzup platform. In accordance with authoritative guidance, including A SC 350-40, 168,513 and $ 0 of costs related to the development of software applications, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software costs was $ 25,899 and $ 0 for the for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The balance of capitalized software was $ 142,614 and $ 0 , net of accumulated amortization of $ 25,899 and $ 0 at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company evaluates its capitalized software costs for impairment annually, at year-end. As of December 31, 2023, the Company determined no Income Taxes The Company utilizes the asset and liability approach to measure deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences existing at each balance sheet date using currently enacted tax rates in accordance with ASC 740. ASC 740 considers the differences between financial statement treatment and tax treatment of certain transactions. 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. 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 of a change in tax rate is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date of that rate. The Company has no tax positions as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes any interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. For the years ending December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. Net Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share The Company computes earnings (loss) per share under ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share. Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods, as applicable. The computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 excludes potentially dilutive securities when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, or if their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period. Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows: Schedule of Potentially Dilutive Securities Excluded From Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share December 31, December 31, 2023 2022 Common shares issuable upon conversion of preferred stock 2,141,535 1,887,976 Total potentially dilutive shares 2,141,535 1,887,976 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the guidance on accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for: (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature; and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, the Company will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt. Instead, we will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. We expect the elimination of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for the Company’s convertible instruments falling under the scope of those models before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The provisions of ASU 2020-06 are applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which will add required disclosures of significant expenses for each reportable segment, as well as certain other disclosures to help investors understand how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates segment expenses and operating results. The new standard will also allow disclosure of multiple measures of segment profitability, if those measures are used to allocate resources and assess performance. The amendments will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The standard will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on our consolidated financial statements. There are other various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation - Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024 (the “Annual Report”). The December 31, 2023 balance sheet is derived from those restated financial statements. Use of Estimates The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reported period. These assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on the financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

Significant estimates include estimates used in the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets and capitalized software costs. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of $ 225,673 259,212 250,000 0 1,850 Prepaid Expenses As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 129,940 6,321 Property and Equipment Property and equipment, which consists of computer equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are included in general and administrative expenses on our statement of operations.

The estimated useful life for computer equipment is three years. We evaluate the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives assigned to computer equipment at the end of each fiscal year. Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $ 658 540 Capitalized Software Development Costs We capitalize certain costs related to the development and enhancement of the Thumzup platform. In accordance with authoritative guidance, including ASC 350-40, we began to capitalize these costs when the technological feasibility was established and preliminary development efforts were successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it was probable that the project would be completed and the software would be used as intended. Such costs are amortized when placed in service, on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be three years. Costs incurred prior to meeting these criteria together with costs incurred for training and maintenance are expensed as incurred and recorded in product development expenses on our statements of operations. Costs incurred for enhancements that were expected to result in additional features or functionality that would generate additional revenue are capitalized and expensed over the estimated useful life of the enhancements, generally three years. The Company does not capitalize any testing or maintenance costs. The accounting for these capitalized software costs requires us to make significant judgments, assumptions and estimates related to the timing and amount of recognized capitalized software development costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we capitalized $ 60,900 52,288 6,373 1,867 186,934 142,614 42,479 25,899 The Company evaluates its capitalized software costs for impairment annually, at year-end. As of December 31, 2023, the Company determined no impairment of its capitalized software costs was warranted. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when services are realized.
