Current report
In 2024, we delivered meaningful progress toward sustained profitability. Revenue increased 50% year-over-over to $7.8M, driven primarily through the successful acquisition of three new businesses, RevenueZen, DDSRank, and Eastern Standard.
Current report
Although our gross profit margin declined slightly to 58% in 2024 from 62% in 2023—largely due to the new acquisitions having lower margins than our existing portfolio—we significantly improved our operating loss, reducing it from $9.2M to $2.5M. This improvement was driven by the profitable acquisitions, continued organic growth, continued disciplined expense management, and a reduction in impairment charges.
Current report
During 2024, we focused on reducing our losses and growing our revenues, and made strong progress to that end. Crucially, in Q4 2024 we recorded a positive net income of $136K for the quarter, a significant step in moving us towards profitability.
Current report
When we started our Company in 2020, we held four core beliefs.
Current report
In short, we believed there were many overlooked and mispriced online businesses for sale, and we were developing the due diligence and operational expertise to acquire, and grow them.
Current report
Our goal has always been to become a world-class serial acquirer, using our unique operating and financial leverage on a diverse portfolio of online businesses, to deliver strong compounded returns to our shareholders.
Current report
Further, during 2024, we experienced success with the following:
Current report
1. Strategic Acquisitions
Current report
We acquired three new businesses with eight combined revenue streams, contributing a total of $6M in revenue.
Current report
Each of these acquisitions were both accretive and strategically valuable. One of the pillars of our acquisition strategy and business model is that every acquisition we make adds profit to our bottom line. The limiting factor is the upfront capital needed to acquire target companies. Given that we started the year with a low cash balance and large losses, we needed to find a way to reduce those losses without deploying significant capital. By developing creative, low- or no-cash acquisition structures, we were able to make accretive business purchases, grow our consolidated profits, and avoid deploying large sums of capital in the process, without diluting shareholders or raising equity at unattractive valuations.
Current report
2. Operational Improvements.
Current report
Alongside our acquisition activity, we made significant progress in building the operational capacity of our portfolio.
Current report
The reason many of the businesses we evaluate are considered “undervalued” is because of the very real risk that they do not perform well post-acquisition. Our challenge is to make sure that we not only acquire strategic target companies, but also operate those companies profitably post-acquisition. During fiscal years 2023 and 2024, we implemented a revised management and operational structure by (i) adding highly competent operators through our acquisitions, particularly from the RevenueZen and Eastern Standard teams, which has strengthened our capacity, and (ii) putting a high emphasis on portfolio synergies and efficient management. As a holding company, we must build operational expertise that will assist us in targeting businesses that maintain and then grow their revenues and profits. We believe we made significant progress in this area during 2024.
Current report
3.OASPV Capital Model
Current report
In March 2024, we launched our OA SPV Capital Model to enable accredited retail investors to co-invest with our Company in acquisitions. For us this was a game-changer.
Current report
The OA SPVs enabled us to close both the DDSRank and Eastern Standard acquisitions, and we expect the OA SPV Capital Model to assist us with making additional acquisitions in the future without the need to deploy any of our Company’s own cash reserves.
Current report
For the DDSRank acquisition, the OA SPV funded 33% of the transaction, and for the Eastern Standard acquisition, the OA SPV funded 30% of the transaction. The OA SPV Capital Model provided us with the opportunity to use preferred shares and a seller note for the other 67% and 53% (as adjusted as described in “Recent Developments” below) ownership respectively.
Current report
The OA SPV Capital Model has a high capital cost because we are required to give up significant portions of equity in the acquired businesses, but it serves as an essential tool for us at a time but when debt financing and other capital is unavailable to our Company on attractive terms. This was the solution we found that still allowed us to acquire accretive, quality businesses. Although we do not plan to continue to use OA SPVs in the long term due to the high cost of the capital, we believe the OA SPV Capital Model will be part of our acquisition strategy during 2025, along with series A preferred shares and seller notes.
Current report
Fundamentally, we believe the OA SPV Capital Model was a success since we are in the business of acquiring business with positive cashflow, and the OA SPV Capital Model allowed us to do so without using our own money.
Current report
4.Series APreferred Shares on OTCQB
Current report
On October 30, 2024, we obtained an Assignment of an Over-the-Counter Quoting and Trading Symbol for our series A preferred shares. Specifically, our series A preferred shares trade on the OTCQB, a public market tier in the US, under the symbol ONFOP. Previously, we raised ~$1.5M in capital from the sale of our series A preferred shares to accredited investors and issued another ~$3M series A preferred shares to sellers of acquisition companies as part of the acquisition consideration. Series A preferred shareholders are now free to quote their shares for sale on the OTCQB and any purchaser, whether accredited or not, can purchase such shares on the OTCQB in a brokerage transaction. We believe that now that our series A preferred shares are quoted on the OTCQB, we will be able to continue to use these shares to raise additional capital and as acquisition consideration, which will enable us to be less reliant on our OA SPV Capital Model.
Current report
On thePath to Profitability
Current report
Throughout 2024, we have significantly reduced our losses and Q4 saw a positive net income of $136K. We believe positive free-cashflow will occur in the near term. Although we are nearing a point where we can continue operations without requiring additional fundraising or acquisitions to achieve profitability, we intend to continue to pursue both future fundraising and acquisition activities since we believe that both of these activities will continue to accelerate our growth and long-term value creation.
Current report
With this foundation, we expect to move into sustained profitability in the near term, and we will continue with the business plans we set forth and we will strive to make further gains in all areas of our business in 2025.
Current report
Our 2025 focus will be to continue to focus on these key areas and build on the Onfolio business model: find profitable businesses, acquire them, improve their operations and grow them, use those earnings, plus additional capital, to acquire more and repeat.
Current report
In October 2024, we acquired Eastern Standard, a premier digital agency specializing in brand strategy, website development, and digital marketing. Eastern Standard provides tailored solutions across various industries, helping clients enhance their online presence through strategic branding, search engine optimization (SEO), and user-focused design. Our Company holds a 70% ownership stake in Eastern Standard, while the OA SPVs maintain a 20% equity interest, and the Eastern Standard founders maintain a 10% roll-over equity interest and continue to serve in leadership roles on the Eastern Standard team.
Current report
On September 20, 2024, Eastern Standard LLC (“Eastern Standard Delaware”), a Delaware limited liability company and the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Eastern Standard Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Eastern Standard, LLC (“Eastern Standard Pennsylvania”), a Pennsylvania limited liability company, Mark Gisi, James Keller and Vincent Giordano. Pursuant to the Eastern Standard Asset Purchase Agreement, Eastern Standard Delaware will purchase from Eastern Standard Pennsylvania all of Eastern Standard Pennsylvania’s assets utilized in the operation of its business of providing digital marketing services, including integrated branding, and digital customer experiences (the “ES Business Assets”).
Current report
Pursuant to the Eastern Standard Asset Purchase Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, at the closing, Eastern Standard Pennsylvania agreed to sell to Eastern Standard Delaware the ES Business Assets, all as more fully described in the Eastern Standard Asset Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price for the ES Business Assets was $2,160,000. As of the closing, the Company owns 70% of Eastern Standard Delaware in exchange for $1,250,000 payable pursuant to two secured promissory notes which are guaranteed by the Company, and $410,000 of the Company’s series A preferred shares. The entities comprising the Company’s special purpose vehicle funding program owns an aggregate of 20% of Eastern Standard Delaware in exchange for $500,000 payable in cash. Eastern Standard Pennsylvania owns a 10% roll-over equity interest in Eastern Standard Delaware. The acquisition closed on October 18, 2024.
Current report
The secured promissory notes consist of: (i) a $400,000 promissory note made by Eastern Standard Delaware in favor of Eastern Standard Pennsylvania with an interest at 8% per annum providing for interest only payments with a balloon payment of principal and interest at the end of one hundred twenty (120) days (“Short Term ES Promissory Note”); (ii) an $850,000 promissory note made by Eastern Standard Delaware in favor of Eastern Standard Pennsylvania with an interest rate at 8% per annum providing for interest only payments with a balloon payment of principal and interest at the end of two years (“ES Promissory Note”); and (iii) a Guaranty Agreement made by the Company to secure the payment of Eastern Standard Delaware pursuant to the Short Term ES Promissory Note, the ES Promissory Note and the other obligations of the Company and Eastern Standard Delaware under the Eastern Standard Asset Purchase Agreement.
Current report
In February 2025, the cash payment required to satisfy the obligations under the Short Term ES Promissory Note was provided by the OA SPVs. As a result, the ownership structure of Eastern Standard Delaware was adjusted, with the OA SPVs increasing its aggregate ownership percentage to 38%, while the Company’s ownership interest was adjusted to 53%. The 10% roll-over equity interest held by Eastern Standard Pennsylvania founders remains unchanged.

Business Segment Results of Operations
Current report
We operate in two business segments: Business to Business (“B2B”) and Business to Consumers (“B2C”). We organize our business segments based on the nature of products and services offered, and the economic characteristics of each segment. Following is a brief description of the activities of our business segments:
Current report
Selected Financial Data by Business Segment
Current report
Net sales and operating profit of the Company’s business segments exclude intersegment sales, cost of sales and profit as these activities are eliminated in consolidation and thus are not included in management’s evaluation of performance of each segment. Sales, cost of sales and operating profit for each of our business segments were as follows:
Current report
Management evaluates performance on our contracts by focusing on net sales and operating profit and not by type or amount of operating expense. Consequently, our discussion of business segment performance focuses on net sales and operating profit, consistent with our approach for managing the business. This approach is consistent throughout the life cycle of our contracts, as management assesses the bidding of each contract by focusing on net sales and operating profit and monitors performance on our contracts in a similar manner through their completion.
Current report
B2B
Current report
Our B2B segment includes the results of operations of Eastern Standard, RevenueZen, DDS Rank, SEO Butler, Contentellect, DealPipe and Onfolio LLC. These entities share similar characteristics such as customers being businesses, and being primarily service-related businesses.
Current report
B2B total operating income increased by $1,038,452 or 100% during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was a result of the increased revenue and gross profit offset by the increase in intangible asset amortization for the newly acquired businesses in the year ended 2024.
Current report
B2C
Current report
Our B2C segment includes the results of operations of Proofread Anywhere, Mighty Deals, and Vital Reaction. These entities share characteristics such as the end customers being individual consumers, and sales being more focused on product sales, including digital sales.

Previous report
Revenue in 2023 was up 136% in 2023 compared to 2022, an increase of just over $3,000,000. This growth was achieved through the acquisitions we made in Q4 2022, which we held for a full year in 2023, and the additional acquisition we made in Q1 2023.
Previous report
Our gross profit margin in 2023 was 62%, up from 54% in 2022. This improvement was achieved through an effort by management to reduce the operating costs of our online businesses, driving them to run more efficiently.
Previous report
In 2023 we noticed a slowdown of lending and a rise in interest rates, and we acted to weather the more difficult capital raising environment through austerity measures, using our remaining cash to extend our working capital runway as long as possible.
Previous report
Despite those challenges, we closed and obtained full control on one acquisition, RevenueZen, in January 2024, which historically generated $1.4M in revenue in 2023.
Previous report
Towards the end of 2023, we focused more on targeting B2B agencies and productized services for acquisition. Historically, our best performing assets have been B2B marketing agencies, and the acquisition opportunities are rich in this space.
Previous report
In 2024, we will look for opportunities to use our growing stature and track record to raise capital on attractive terms — this is a large area of focus for management.
Previous report
Due to our cash constraints and desire to avoid issuing additional shares of common stock, we intend to use a mixture of debt, including seller notes, and preferred shares to close acquisitions moving forward — such as can be seen with our recent RevenueZen acquisition. We are looking to make more acquisitions over the coming months of a similar structure, allowing us to maximize our runway while reducing our burn with a mixture of accretive acquisitions, and continuous expense reduction and optimization efforts.
Previous report
Organic growth is also a major area we are looking to improve, but inorganic growth through acquisitions will ultimately be necessary and will be the catalyst for our profitability.
Previous report
In the course of our regular financial review and in compliance with ASC350, in September 2023 we conducted a reassessment of our portfolio of subsidiaries, their performance and recent market developments. Based on this review, which considered factors such as the financial landscape, the evolving M&A dynamics in this landscape, and prevailing market conditions, we have determined that the carrying value of certain subsidiaries no longer reflects their recoverable amount. We noted lower than expected operating results for ProofreadAnywhere, WP Folio, and SEO Butler and as such performed a discounted cash flow test to determine the amount of impairment necessary. We used a higher discount rate than previous valuations due to the increased interest rates and reduced business performances. We concluded based on the recoverability test performed for Proofread Anywhere, WP Folio, and SEO Butler, that impairment related to goodwill was needed in the amounts of $2,061,763, $580,284, and $420,532, respectively, which were recognized in the Q3 2023 Form 10Q.
Previous report
As always, management is dedicated to continuous improvement, pursuit of growth, and commitment to our shareholders.

Previous wording
Revenue increased by $3,020,171, or 136% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 2022. The increase is primarily due to revenue from our three acquisitions completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, which increased revenue by approximately $2,500,000, including approximately $1,800,000 in digital product sales along with an increase of approximately $640,000 from Contentellect, acquired in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Current wording
Revenue increased by $2,622,091, or 50% for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023.

This increase was partially offset by a decline in website management revenue, and a decline in digital product sales within the Company’s Mighty Deals subsidiary and a decline in revenue from its SEO Butler subsidiary.
Previous wording
Cost of revenue increased by $975,793, or 96%, due to the increase resulting from the Company’s recent acquisitions. The Company’s gross profit margins increased in the current period compared to the prior period due to the Company’s efforts to streamline operations and create efficiencies, and due to the increased sales from digital product sales with higher margins in the new businesses. The components most significant to the Company’s cost of revenue are the costs of labor for service fulfillment, content creation, website hosting and maintenance costs and the costs of acquiring new inventory products for physical product sales.
Current wording
Cost of revenue increased by $1,320,045, or 66%, due to the Company’s recent service agency acquisitions offset by the decrease in digital product sales within the Company’s Mighty Deals subsidiary. The Company’s gross profit margins decreased slightly to 57% in the current period compared to 62% in the prior period. The components most significant to the Company’s cost of revenue are the costs of labor for service fulfillment, content creation, website hosting and maintenance costs and the costs of acquiring new inventory products for physical product sales.
Previous wording
General and Administrative expenses increased by $1,768,823 or 41% during the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising and marketing costs of $1,200,000, which includes the impact of new businesses acquired in late 2022 and early 2023, an increase in amortization expense of $615,000 associated with the acquired intangible assets not present in the comparable period, a $90,000 increase in other general and administrative costs including stock-based compensation, travel, merchant fees, and increased costs related to being a public company of $279,000, offset by a decrease in payroll and contractor costs of $85,000
Current wording
General and Administrative expenses decreased by $263,355 or 4% during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in advertising and marketing costs of $275,000, and a decrease in stock based compensation expense of $535,000, offset by an increase in amortization expense of $226,000 associated with the acquired intangible assets not present in the comparable period, an increase in payroll and contractor costs of $273,000, and a $110,000 increase in other general and administrative costs including 401k contributions and guaranteed payments, referral commissions, and costs related to being a public company.
Previous wording
Professional fees increased by $650,469, or 128% during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to increased due to increased legal and accounting costs associated with the Company’s compliance requirements as a public company. The Company also incurred $326,899 during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $527,792 during the year ended December 31, 2022, including audit, legal and other professional fees related to acquisitions and potential acquisitions. We expect acquisition costs to remain significant as we continue to grow based on acquisitions.
Current wording
Professional fees decreased by $211,659, or 18% during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to decreased legal and accounting costs associated with the Company’s compliance requirements as a public company and the change in independent public accounting firm during 2024. The Company also incurred $264,731 in acquisition costs during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $326,899 during the year ended December 31, 2023, including audit, legal and other professional fees related to acquisitions and potential acquisitions. We expect acquisition costs to remain significant as we continue to grow based on acquisitions.

Current wording
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,168,363 and $2,751,838 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

We account for our interests in entities in which we are able to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, generally 50% or less ownership interest, under the equity method of accounting. In such cases, our original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted for our share of earnings, losses and distributions. We account for our interests in entities where we have virtually no influence over operating and financial policies under the cost method of accounting. In such cases, our original investments are recorded at the cost to acquire the interest and any distributions received are recorded as income. All investments are subject to our impairment review policy. The Company recognized the value of its investments in these joint ventures at carryover basis based on the amount paid by the CEO to the joint venture for Onfolio JV 1 LLC, and agreed to pay the joint venture the contribution for Onfolio JV II LLC and Onfolio JV III LLC at the carryover basis for the amount the interest was acquired for by the CEO.

Previous wording
Variable interest entities (“VIEs”) are consolidated when the investor is the primary beneficiary. A primary beneficiary is the variable interest holder in a VIE with both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of any VIE’s as the joint ventures do not qualify as variable interest entities under the requirements of ASC 810, as the joint ventures 1) have sufficient equity to finance its activities; 2) have equity owners that as a group have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest in the business, through the ability to vote on a majority basis to change the managing member of the respective joint ventures, and 3) are structured with substantive voting rights. The Company accounts for its investments in the joint ventures under either the cost or equity method based on the equity ownership in each entity.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere
B2B revenue increased by $2,996,664 or 218% during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase is primarily due to revenue from our RevenueZen acquisition completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 which increased revenue by approximately $2,073,000, our DDS Rank acquisition completed at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024, which increased revenue by approximately $142,000, and our Eastern Standard acquisition completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, which increased revenue by approximately $974,000. This increase was partially offset by a decline in website management revenue.
