Kinetic Seas Reports $210K Revenue in Transition to AI Consulting, Faces $3.9M Net Loss

Kinetic Seas Incorporated reported its financial results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, marking a significant transition from its previous status as a shell company. The company generated $210,584 in consulting revenue, a notable increase from zero revenue in the prior year. However, the cost of sales for consulting labor amounted to $157,776, resulting in a gross margin of $52,808. Despite this revenue generation, Kinetic Seas incurred a net loss of $3,897,122, or $0.18 per share, compared to a net loss of $160,962, or $0.03 per share, in 2023. The substantial increase in losses is attributed to higher operating expenses, which rose to $3,820,014 from $121,538 in the previous year.

The company's operational changes were marked by a strategic shift towards artificial intelligence (AI) consulting, research and development, and software solutions. This transition was facilitated by the appointment of a new board of directors on December 14, 2023, which included Edward Honour as Chairman. The board approved the issuance of 21,600,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share to the new directors and certain employees, resulting in these individuals acquiring approximately 84% of the company's outstanding shares. Additionally, Kinetic Seas has entered into a Master Services Agreement with Databank Holdings for server colocation services, further solidifying its operational infrastructure.

As of December 31, 2024, Kinetic Seas reported total assets of $190,417, a significant increase from $31,072 in 2023. The company’s liabilities also rose sharply to $2,212,497 from $226,584, primarily due to accrued liabilities and notes payable. The accumulated deficit increased to $5,014,920, reflecting the ongoing financial challenges as the company invests in its new business model. The company had only one customer contributing to its revenue, indicating a high dependency on a single source for income, which poses risks to its financial stability.

Looking ahead, Kinetic Seas anticipates that its operating expenses will continue to rise as it hires additional personnel and compensates existing officers and directors. The company plans to fund its operations through a combination of existing funds and future capital raises, although it faces uncertainty regarding its ability to secure additional financing. Management has expressed concerns about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, given its significant losses and working capital deficit. The company is actively exploring alternative financing options to support its growth strategy in the AI sector.

In summary, Kinetic Seas has made strides in establishing itself as a player in the AI consulting market, but it faces considerable financial challenges and operational risks. The company’s future performance will depend on its ability to expand its customer base, manage costs effectively, and secure necessary funding to support its growth initiatives.
