INTRODUCTORY COMMENT

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Blackboxstocks,” or the “Company” refers to Blackboxstocks Inc., a Nevada corporation.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our prospects are subject to uncertainties and risks. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”), we make forward-looking statements that involve substantial uncertainties and risks. When used in this Report, the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “intend,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) regarding events, conditions and financial trends which may affect our future plans of operations, business strategy, operating results and financial position. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties described herein and actual results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements. Additional factors are described in our other public reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the result of any revision of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

This Report contains certain estimates and plans related to us and the industry in which we operate, which assume certain events, trends and activities will occur and the projected information based on those assumptions. We do not know that all of our assumptions are accurate. If our assumptions are wrong about any events, trends and activities, then our estimates for future growth for our business may also be wrong. There can be no assurance that any of our estimates as to our business growth will be achieved.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes associated with them contained elsewhere in this Report. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed in this Report will necessarily continue into the future or that any conclusion reached in this Report will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. The discussion represents only the best assessment of management.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

1. Organization

Blackboxstocks Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 4, 2011 under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name SMSA Ballinger Acquisition Corp. to effect the reincorporation of Senior Management Services of Heritage Oaks at Ballinger, Inc., a Texas corporation, mandated by a Plan of Reorganization confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

The Company changed its name to Blackboxstocks, Inc. and began operating as a financial technology and social media platform in March 2016. The platform offers real-time proprietary analytics and news for stock and options traders of all levels. The Company believes its web-based software employs “predictive technology” enhanced by artificial intelligence to find volatility and unusual market activity that may result in the rapid change in the price of a stock or option. The software continuously scans the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange, CBOE, and other options markets, analyzing over 10,000 stocks and up to 1,500,000 options contracts multiple times per second. The Company also provides users with a fully interactive social media platform that is integrated into our dashboard, enabling users to exchange information and ideas quickly and efficiently through a common network. Recently, the Company also introduced a live audio/video feature that allows members to broadcast on their own channels to share trade strategies and market insight within the community. The platform was initially made available to subscribers in September 2016. Subscriptions for the use of the platform are sold on a monthly and/or annual subscription basis to individual consumers through the Company website at http://www.blackboxstocks.com.

On November 10, 2021, the Company issued 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock in its initial public offering and concurrently was listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “BLBX”.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements and footnotes of Blackboxstocks Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2022. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates. The Company’s financial statement preparation requires that management make estimates and assumptions which affect the reporting of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in order to report these financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash. Cash includes all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less.

Investments in Marketable Securities. The Company invests in marketable securities which primarily consist of investments in mutual funds that hold commercial and government debt securities. These investments are recorded at fair value based on quoted prices at the end of the Company’s reporting period. Any realized or unrealized gains or losses are recognized in the accompanying statements of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no new accounting pronouncements issued that management believes the adoption of which will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Table of Contents

Earnings or (Loss) Per Share. Basic earnings per share (or loss per share), is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potentially issuable shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities or exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Because including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and/or exercise of outstanding options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share, only the basic earnings (loss) per share is reported in the accompanying financial statements for period of loss.

The Company had total potential additional dilutive securities outstanding at March 31, 2022, as follows:

	March 31, 2022
Series A Convertible Preferred Shares		3,269,998
Conversion rate		0.2
Common shares after conversion		654,000
Option shares		652,500
Warrant shares		438,336

Revenue Recognition. We operate under a software as a service (SaaS) model whereby we sell monthly and annual subscriptions allowing subscribers access to our platform. We recognize revenue over the subscription period (either monthly or annual) and record cash received but not yet earned as deferred revenue on our balance sheet. Additionally, the Company receives revenues from commissions and the sale of promotional products which are presented as other revenues on the accompanying statements of operations. Commission revenues are recognized as they are earned and revenues from the sale of promotional products are recognized upon shipment.

3. Marketable Securities

The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access;

Level 2 inputs utilize other-than-quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly and include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and

Level 3 inputs are unobservable and are typically based on our own assumptions, including situations where there is little, if any, market activity.

The Company’s marketable securities are highly liquid and are quoted on major exchanges and are therefore classified as Level 1 securities. The following table summarizes the Company’s assets that were measured and recognized at fair value as of March 31, 2022:

	Level 1			Level 2		Level 3		Total
Balance at December 31, 2021	$	8,015,882		$	-	$	-	$	8,015,882
Additions		-			-		-		-
Change in fair value		(178,732	)		-		-		(178,732	)

4. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $0.001 par value, 5,000,000 of which are designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” at $0.001 par value and 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock at $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”).

Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Stock”) rank pari passu with the Company’s Common Stock with respect to dividend and liquidation rights. Additionally, each share entitles the holder to 100 votes. During 2021, 1,730,002 previously issued and outstanding shares of the Series A Stock were converted into Common Stock. All currently issued and outstanding shares of the Series A Stock are held by Gust Kepler, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“Mr. Kepler”). The Company and Mr. Kepler entered into Conversion Rights Agreement dated effective as of October 14, 2021, limiting the rights of the holder(s) of our outstanding shares of Series A Stock to convert such shares into Common Stock on a one-for one basis as provided for in the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Stock (the “Designation Conversion Rights”). Pursuant to the terms of the Conversion Rights Agreement, the Designation Conversion Rights are limited and exercisable based upon the Company reaching the following market capitalization thresholds, measured on the last day of each calendar quarter:

●

If the Company’s Market Capitalization is less than $150,000,000, the outstanding Series A Stock will be convertible into Common Stock on a 5-for-1 share basis;

●

If the Company’s Market Capitalization is equal to or greater than $150,000,000 but less than $200,000,000, the outstanding Series A Stock will be convertible into Common Stock on a 3.3-for-1 share basis;

●

If the Company’s Market Capitalization is equal to or greater than $200,000,000 but less than $250,000,000, the outstanding Series A Stock will be convertible into Common Stock on a 2.5-for-1 share basis;

●

If the Company’s Market Capitalization is equal to or greater than $250,000,000 but less than $350,000,000 the outstanding Series A Stock will be convertible into Common Stock on a 1.75-for-1 share basis;

●

If the Company’s Market Capitalization is equal to or greater than $350,000,000 the outstanding Series A Stock will thereafter convertible into Common Stock pursuant to the Designation Conversion Rights (on a 1-for-1 share basis).

The Agreement terminates when the last share of Series A Stock is either converted or the largest Market Capitalization Threshold is met.

On January 4, 2022, 86,387 shares of common stock were issued for the cashless exercise of 120,000 warrants (Note 5).

On January 7, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan for up to $2,500,000 of the Company’s common stock. The program will terminate on December 31, 2022 or when the $2,500,000 authorized has been fully utilized. As of March 28, 2022, the Company has repurchased 436,600 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $859,612.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes from the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2022, we had cash and marketable securities totaling $8,573,762 as compared to cash and marketable securities totaling $10,442,379 at December 31, 2021. Our cash flows from operations were ($793,188) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $231,912 for the same period in the prior year.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $85,094 as compared to 31,234 for the prior year period. The volume of marketable securities purchases and sales for the current quarter was the result of trading activity in a Company account that is used to research and test specific trading techniques. The account used for those specific activities had an account balance of approximately $100,000.

Net cash used in financing activities was $896,697 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $59,035 for the prior year period. The purchase of $859, 612 of common stock pursuant to the Company’s stock repurchase plan was the primary component of the use of cash. The stock repurchase plan initially authorized the repurchase of up to $2,500,000 of the Company’s common stock and expires on December 31, 2022.

On November 9, 2021 the Company enter into an underwriting agreement pursuant to which it sold 2,400,000 shares of its Common Stock at an offering price of $5.00 in an underwritten public offering upon which our shares became listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

We expect to use proceeds from this offering to further develop our Blackbox System platform, expand our product offerings, fund marketing efforts to grow our subscriber base, as well as for general and administration expenses and other general corporate purposes.

We believe that the Company has sufficient capital resources to fund current operations and debt service requirements.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, our revenue was $1,272,486 and $1,489,668, respectively, a decrease of 14.6%. We believe 2022 revenues were negatively impacted by a confluence of macro-economic factors including poor overall performance in the stock market, soaring inflation and negative gross domestic product (GDP) growth during the first quarter of 2022. The S&P 500 dropped by 4.9% during the first quarter of 2022 as compared to a gain of 5.8% in the first quarter of 2021. In addition to the poor market performance, inflation of 7.5% as measured by the consumer price index (CPI) and a decline in GDP of (1.4%) may have constricted disposable cash of prospective subscribers. Although we believe that our platform enables our subscribers to profit in both bull and bear markets, we attribute some of our decline in revenues to a higher level of hesitancy resulting from the poor macro-economic data. In order to combat this, we implemented a promotional program offering our software for $5 for the first month. This promotional offering was the first of its kind in the Company’s history and was effective in increasing the subscriber totals but only contributed minimal revenue per user. Average users for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 5,709 as compared to 5,575 for the prior year period and 5,749 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.Total users of 7,400 as of March 31, 2022 included those new subscribers from the $5 promotion. Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $579,962 and $395,775, resulting in gross margins of 54% and 73%, respectively. The primary components of cost of revenues include costs related to data and news feed expenses for exchange information which comprise the majority of the costs, as well as the costs for program moderators. Cost of goods sold increased by $184,187 for the quarter ended March 31 2022 as compared to the prior year primarily as a result of a 74% increase in the cost of our program moderators, higher costs associated with our new broadcast enabled social media feature and news feeds. As noted above, our promotional event resulted in increased user counts but limited revenue that offset the costs which resulted in unusually low gross margin percentage of 54%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, operating expenses were $1,713,678 as compared to $948,761 for the same period in 2021, an increase of $764,917 or 81%. We experienced significantly higher expenditures in most of our expense categories for the 2022 period. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $606,687 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $1,224,723 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 102%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $618,036 was the largest dollar value component of the operating expense increase. The primary components of the increase were increases in salary and stock-based compensation, public investor relations. Advertising and marketing expenses increased by $91,484 or 44% from $207,312 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $298,796 in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Software development costs also increased by $54,446 or 42% from $130,438 in the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $184,884 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increased software development costs were incurred for improvements to our platform including our online social media component, development of a native application and new product development.

We expect to continue to incur increases in our operating costs for the foreseeable future. Expense increases for digital advertising and marketing activities, our primary advertising mechanism, should continue to increase with sales but may also increase as a result of additional strategies including but not limited to television advertising. Software development costs are also expected to increase as we expand our development team and invest in new products and features.

Our loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $1,021,154 as compared to income from operations of $145,132 for the prior year period. Lower sales and gross margin resulting from the $5 promotion in March of 2022 combined with higher operating expenses resulted in the loss from operations. Non-operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $221,289 as compared to $132,577 for the prior year period.

EBITDA (Non-GAAP Financial Measure)

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, management believes the presentation of certain non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and that when GAAP financial measures are viewed in conjunction with the non-GAAP financial measures, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance. For all non-GAAP financial measures in this release, we have provided corresponding GAAP financial measures for comparative purposes in the report.

EBITDA is defined by us as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization expense and certain non-cash. EBITDA is not a measure of operating performance under GAAP and therefore should not be considered in isolation nor construed as an alternative to operating profit, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Also, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of liquidity. Moreover, since EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP, and thus is susceptible to varying interpretations and calculations, EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and as such, we are not required to provide the information required under this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Gust Kepler, our principal executive officer and Robert Winspear, our principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2022, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management on a basis that permits timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic filings under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures provide our principal executive officer and principal financial officer with reasonable assurances that our disclosure controls and procedures will achieve their objectives. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can or will prevent all human error. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are internal resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be weighed relative to their corresponding costs. Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide complete assurance that all control issues and instances of error, if any, within our company are detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also 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 objectives under all potential future conditions.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Important risk factors that could affect our operations and financial performance, or that could cause results or events to differ from current expectations, are described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 for the year ended December 31, 2021, as supplemented by the "Risk Factors" sections in our registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on October 5, 2021, as amended on November 5, 2021 and the information contained elsewhere in this Report. The risks and uncertainties described within our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the registration statement, as amended, are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business or results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Unregistered Sales of Securities

On January 4, 2022, 86,387 shares of common stock were issued for the cashless exercise of 120,000 warrant shares.

The securities described above were privately offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act. We reasonably believed that each of the purchasers of such securities had access to information concerning its operations and financial condition, were acquiring the securities for their own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and each investor qualified as an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Furthermore, no "general solicitation" was made by the Company with respect to sale of any of the securities. At the time of their issuance, the securities described above were deemed to be restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act and the documentation representing the securities bear legends and/or non-transfer provisions to that effect.

There have been no other sales of unregistered securities during the period covered by the Report that have not been previously reported as required in Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and/or current reports on Form 8-K.

On January 7, 2022 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan for up to $2,500,000 of the Company’s Common Stock. The program will terminate on December 31, 2022 or when the $2,500,000 authorized has been fully utilized. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has repurchased 436,600 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $859,612.
