Z Squared Inc. Revenue Disclosure
Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) to depict the transfer of control to the Company’s customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| i. | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer | |
| ii. | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract | |
| iii. | Determination of the transaction price | |
| iv. | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract | |
| v. | Recognition of revenue, when, or as, the company satisfies the performance obligations. |
Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of promised goods and services is transferred to customers. A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under ASC 606. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to distinct performance obligations and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company generates revenue from its customers by 1) performing data research for its customers and delivering advertising campaigns via cold emails and social media sites, and 2) providing webinars for its customers to a targeted business-to-business audience. The fee for these services is based on observable prices explicitly negotiated between the Company and the customer. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when the good or service is delivered to the customer, which occurs upon delivery of the advertising campaign or webinar and there is a transfer of control to the customer.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, revenues from delivering advertising campaigns via cold emails and social media sites were recognized from six customers who accounted for 100% of this revenue. Revenue was recognized at the point of delivery to the customers in the amount of $1,250,545. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has recorded customer deposits in the amount of $599,455.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, revenues from delivering webinar services were recognized from three customers who accounted for 100% of this revenue. Revenue was recognized at the point of delivery to the customers in the amount of $112,500.

About Revenue Disclosures
Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.
Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
