UNICOIN RIGHTS FINANCING OBLIGATION | NOTE 7 – UNICOIN RIGHTS FINANCING OBLIGATION As of September 30, 2024 and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has not issued any unicoins and there is no assurance as to whether, or at what amount, or on what terms, unicoins will be available to be issued, if ever. The Company is offering rights to receive unicoins upon tokenization (“Unicoin Rights” or “Rights”) with terms and conditions set forth in a confidential private placement memorandum initially dated February 2022 and updated periodically thereafter (“the Offering”). The Offering is being conducted pursuant to an exemption from U.S. securities registration requirements provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506(c) thereunder. Each U.S. domiciled investor in Unicoin Rights must be an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of the Securities Act. The Company accounts for Unicoin Rights by recording a liability representing the amount that management believes the Company would be obligated to pay or refund (i.e., the amount holders have a right to claim and would likely be awarded in settlement) for fair value exchanged as consideration for Rights to receive unicoins in the future and in the event the unicoin is never launched. The Company concluded that it has a legal or contractual obligation and recorded an amount necessary to refund the amount originally paid by investors if holders’ reasonable expectation to receive unicoins is not achieved. There are currently 75,678 total holders of Unicoin Rights listed in the Company’s registry (some duplication for individuals who invested more than once may be reflected in this total), including the holders of discretionary Unicoin Rights, and 4,573 purchasers worldwide. Of these, approximately 1,336 (1.77% of total holders and 29.21% of purchasers) are accredited and 3,237 (70.79% of holders) are not accredited or were not verified. Note that non-accredited holders or those not verified are either non-US Persons who purchased pursuant to Regulation S, or were given Unicoin Rights for free, and thus were not sold Unicoin Rights. The Company will no longer issue Unicoin Rights to U.S. domiciled investors who are not accredited. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has issued rights to acquire 7.1 6.2 113,779 84,674 During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid operating expenses to employees and service providers by issuing Unicoin Rights with a fair value of $ 5,354 929 11,923 39,925 The following table summarizes the components of the Unicoin Rights financing obligation recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023: Schedule of components of the unicoin rights financing obligation Outstanding Unicoin Rights and Nature / Category of September 30, December 31, Unicoin Right Holder Form of Consideration Units Amount Units Amount Sales to Investors Cash, Digital Assets and Treasury Stock 1,806,988,668 $ 41,622,352 1,763,813,346 $ 38,198,488 Unicoin Inc.

Sales to Investors As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Unicoin Rights financing obligation associated with sales to investors amounted to $ 41,622 38,198 0.01 0.75 Dividend Issued to Shareholders The Company declared and issued a non-cash dividend of Unicoin Rights, on a pro-rata basis, to all shareholders of record as of the dividend declaration date of February 10, 2022. This non-cash dividend was the initial issuance of Unicoin Rights, prior to finalizing any plan to market and sell Rights in connection with any of the Company’s financing rounds, and at the time of the pro-rata distribution, management and the Board had not yet ascribed a value to such Rights. As a result, the Company has ascribed a de minimis value to all Unicoin Rights issued to shareholders on February 10, 2022. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Unicoin Rights financing obligation associated non-cash dividend of Unicoin Rights amounted to $ 73 Discretionary Payments to Employees, Contractors and Directors The Company has issued Unicoin Rights to certain employees, Board members and external contractors/consultants as discretionary awards. These Unicoin Rights were issued on a discretionary basis and do not indicate that employees, Board members or contractors/consultants are being rewarded with a specific value attributable to past or future services rendered by such individuals. The Unicoin Rights were also not issued as a replacement for, or in lieu of, cash or equity awards due under any type of pre-determined bonus or other incentive plan that quantifies a value that the holders are entitled to as a result of their services or performance. The Company believes that, because of the nature of these discretionary awards (i.e., nothing of specific value was exchanged to the Company in return), together with the legal disclaimer of any obligation to launch the unicoin within the terms of the Unicoin Rights agreement, on a per Unicoin Right basis, the amount that holders would be entitled to if the Unicoin is not ultimately launched is de minimis in relation to the actual fair value per Unicoin Right. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Unicoin Rights financing obligation associated with discretionary payments to employees, contractors and directors amounted to $ 52 34 Issued to Service Providers, Influencers and Employees The Company has issued Unicoin Rights in exchange for services from advertising agencies, marketing firms and other vendors. Also, the Company has issued Unicoin Rights as part of the compensation package negotiated with certain employees. The related contracts for these third-party providers and employees specify the value provided, as negotiated by these parties, and the number of Unicoin Rights accepted as compensation for the dollar value of those services. Similar to investors, service providers exchanged a specified, negotiated value in exchange for Unicoin Rights and has rights to receive either 1) the negotiated number of unicoins upon development or launch, or 2) payment of cash equivalent to the value of services provided. In addition, from time to time the Company engages Influencers to promote unicoins and/or the Unicorn Hunters show in exchange for Unicoin Rights. The form of Influencer engagement may include promoting unicoin in a social media post, making brief reference in a speech, posting about unicoin on a website or any other media form. These contracts do not specify the value of services rendered by Influencer nor the specific format of engagement required. Because an “engagement” can represent something as simple as brief mention in a speaking engagement, or posting on a social media account, etc. management determined there is very little effort involved by the Influencer in order to perform services in a manner consistent with the contractual terms. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Unicoin Rights financing obligation associated with Unicoin Rights issued to service providers, influencers and employees amounted to $ 36,014 25,604 Five-Year Deferred Payment Plan In August 2022 the Company began offering a five-year deferred payment plan (the “deferred payment plan”) to investors in its ongoing Unicoin Rights offering. The deferred payment plan permits investors to purchase Unicoin Rights immediately and pay for such Unicoin Rights in five equal annual installments, with the first installment due one year after the date of purchase. Purchases through the deferred payment plan requires that investors provide collateral to the Company having a value of up to 20% of the total purchase price of the purchased Unicoin Rights. Collateral can be in the form of Company common stock owned by the investor, Unicoin Rights already owned by the investor, cash, digital assets or other assets with a demonstrable value, at the Company’s discretion, if such assets can be transferred to the Company or a valid lien on such assets can be secured. Pursuant to the terms of the installment payment plan, both the pledged collateral and the Unicoin Rights being purchased under the installment plan will be forfeited to the Company if the investor fails to make any of the five annual installment payments. The following table summarizes the pledged collateral pursuant to the deferred payment plan as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023: Schedule of pledged collateral Estimated Fair Value of Form of Collateral Received September 30, December 31, Cash $ 886,850 $ 870,715 Digital Assets 115,997 127,840 Non-Unicoin Inc.

Stock – Fair value is determined based on quoted prices on the active exchanges as of the balance sheet date for the reporting period. ○ Unicoin Inc. Common Stock – Based on fair value of common stock, as of the balance sheet date for the reporting period, determined with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm. ○ Unicoin Rights – Based on fair value of Unicoin Rights, as of the balance sheet date for the reporting period, determined with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm. ○ Real Estate – Based on third-party appraisal near the date the real estate was accepted as collateral. Ten-Year Prepaid Plan In November 2022 the Company began offering a ten-year prepaid plan (the “prepaid plan”) to investors in its Unicoin Rights offering. Under the prepaid plan, the investor remits cash or digital asset deposits (the “principal”) for a period of up to ten years. After the first year (the “maturity date”), the investor can either withdraw the principal or apply it towards the purchase of unicoins at 20 cents per unit. Five years after the deposit (the “maturity”), the investor earns a cumulative interest of 50% of the principal, which qualifies toward the withdrawal or purchase of unicoins. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cumulative cash receipts of $ 2,166 1,938 1,630 867 268 921 268 149 ITSQuest Contingent Divestiture Amendment In December 2022, the Company issued 20 million Unicoin Rights to the previous owners of ITSQuest as part of the consideration given in exchange for amending ITSQuest’s contingent divestiture provision. A total of $ 1,780 Asset Swap Agreement and Related Commission On October 9, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Swap Agreement with Cesar Armando Sánchez Roberto, a resident of Venezuela, wherein the Company agreed to provide a total of 1,746,497 Unicoin Rights in exchange for real estate assets consisting of 175.265 square meters of land, located in Fundo el Chuponal del Sector la Entrada, Municipio Naguanagua Edo Carabobo, Venezuela. In March 2024, the Company completed its due diligence, released 1,746,497 Unicoin Rights and received the title for the real estate assets. 624 711 624 87 On February 9, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Swap Agreement with Vessa Jenine Rinehart-Phillips, a U.S. Citizen, wherein the Company agreed to provide a total of 747,600 Unicoin Rights in exchange for real estate assets consisting of vacant land city of California City. 6 On August 7, 2023, Unicoin entered into an Asset Swap Agreement with Electroquimica del Neuquen S.A., an Argentine corporation (the “Argentina Seller”), pursuant to which the Argentina seller acquired rights to obtain 420,000,000 On December 20, 2023, a deed of assignment (the “Deed”) of rights to explore for copper deposits in the Argentina Real Estate Assets was signed by the Argentina Seller and the Company. According to Argentine law, the Deed is required to be filed with and approved by the State Government, Mining Registry (Provice of Neuquen), for the transfer to be effective. Pursuant to the terms of the Deed, the Argentina Seller was required to register the transfer of ownership of the Argentina Real Estate Assets to the Company with the local mining registry within 10 business days of the execution of the Deed, and as of February 23, 2024, did not do so. On July 23, 2024, the Company formally registered with the Province of Neuquen the transfer of the exploration rights to the Company. Therefore, the Company deems this transaction as executed on July 23, 2024. Because of the contingencies regarding the registration and the fact that management had not become the owner of record until July 23, 2024, management had not previously recorded this transaction on the Company’s balance sheet. Upon the registration on July 23, 2024, the Company recorded the mining exploration rights within the Investment in Land asset of and a corresponding Unicoin Rights Financing Obligation in its consolidated balance sheet amounting to $7,100 thousand, which consisted of the fair value of the mining exploration rights as determined by a third-party appraisal. In addition, the Company issued 42 million Unicoin Rights to a Real Estate broker, recording commission expense and the corresponding Unicoin Rights Financing Obligation of $710 thousand. Unicoin Rights Issued to Related Parties The Unicoin Rights issuances discussed above include a total of 892 million Unicoin Rights, and the respective Unicoin Rights Financing Obligation of $3,428 thousand, which represent the cumulative amounts issued to related parties during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
