YoY shift: Neutral
Year-over-year tone shift - average net-tone change across Risk Factors and MD&A vs the prior 10-K. This filing is -0.04pp more bearish than last year's.
Why YoY instead of absolute: the LM lexicon has ~6.6× more negative words than positive (legal/risk-disclosure language is heavy on hedging), so every 10-K reads bearish on raw tone. Year-over-year change strips that bias and surfaces the actual shift in management's framing.
Tone shift by section
The two components the gauge averages: how Risk Factors and MD&A each shifted in net tone versus last year's 10-K. The headline above is their average, so a green needle over a soft section just means the other section carried it.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
General
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes under Item 8 of this annual report. Our Consolidated Financial Statements are not directly comparable from period to period due to acquisitions and dispositions. Refer to Note 3 of our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this annual report for details of each of these transactions. We have elected the presentation requirements under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act as a smaller reporting company and have herein included a two-year discussion of our financial condition and results of operations.
Overview
The Marquie Group, Inc. is an emerging direct-to-consumer firm specializing in marketing, product development, and media, including a dynamic radio and digital network. We promote top-tier health and beauty solutions that enrich lives, showcased through engaging radio content for our audience. We maintain a website at www.themarquiegroup.com.
We have two operating segments: (1) Broadcast, and (2) Health and Beauty, which also qualify as reportable segments. Our operating segments reflect how we assess the performance of each operating segment and determine the appropriate allocations of resources to each segment. We continually review our operating segment classifications to align with operational changes in our business and may make changes as necessary.
We measure and evaluate our operating segments based on operating income and operating expenses that exclude costs related to corporate functions, such as accounting and finance, human resources, legal, tax and treasury. We also exclude costs such as amortization, depreciation, taxes, and interest expense when evaluating the performance of our operating segments.
Our principal sources of broadcast revenue include:
the sale of advertising time on our radio stations to national and local advertisers;
the sale of advertising time on our national network;
the sale of banner advertisements on our station websites or on our mobile applications;
the sale of digital streaming advertisements on our station websites or on our mobile applications;
Our principal sources of health and beauty revenue include:
the sale of skin care products on our webstore;
the sale of skin care products on our radio network;
the sale of skin care products on our Amazon store; and
the sale of skin care products on our Public Square store.
In our broadcast operating segment, the rates we can charge for airtime, advertising and other products and services are dependent upon several factors, including:
audience share;
how well our programs and advertisements perform for our clients;
the size of the market and audience reached;
the number of impressions delivered;
general economic conditions; and
supply and demand for airtime on a local and national level.
In our health and beauty operating segment, the price we can charge for our products are dependent upon several factors, including:
price point sensitivity compared to other similar products in the market;
demographics of targeted marketing;
customer reviews;
customer service;
our ability to deliver products in a timely manner; and
how well our products deliver results for our customers.
Broadcasting
Our foundational business is radio broadcasting, which includes the ownership and operation of a syndicated radio network including our affiliated radio stations subscribing to our programming delivery.
Advertising revenue generated from our syndicated radio operations is reported as broadcast revenue in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Advertising revenue is recorded on a gross basis unless an agency represents the advertiser, in which case revenue is reported net of the commission retained by the agency.
Broadcast revenue is impacted by the rates radio stations can charge for programming and advertising time, the level of airtime sold to programmers and advertisers, the number of impressions delivered, or downloads made, and the number of listener responses in the case of pay-per-call. Advertising rates are based upon the demand for advertising time, which in turn is based on our stations’ and networks’ ability to produce results for their advertisers. We market ourselves to advertisers based on the responsiveness of our audiences. We do not subscribe to traditional audience measuring services for most of our radio stations.
Each of our radio station affiliates allocates 3 minutes per hour of advertising time for our commercials at a preset time every hour based on the Music of Your Life clock.
Our results are subject to seasonal fluctuations. As is typical in the broadcasting industry, our second and fourth quarter advertising revenue typically exceeds our first and third quarter advertising revenue. Seasonal fluctuations in advertising revenue correspond with quarterly fluctuations in the retail industry. Additionally, we experience increased demand for political advertising during election even numbered years, over non-election odd numbered years. Political advertising revenue varies based on the number and type of candidates as well as the number and type of debated issues.
Broadcast operating expenses include: (i) employee salaries, commissions and related employee benefits and taxes, (ii) facility expenses such as lease expense and utilities, (iii) marketing and promotional expenses, (iv) production and programming expenses, and (v) music license fees. In addition to these expenses, our network incurs programming costs and lease expenses for satellite communication facilities.
Health and Beauty
Our health and beauty operations are owned by Simply Whim, Inc., and include Whim, an emerging beauty brand blending Nature, Nutrition, and Science to offer safe and effective products. Whim’s founder, a 3-time cancer survivor under treatment, recognizes the U.S.'s regulatory lapses and strives for better standards. Exclusively made in the USA, Whim aims to provide responsible beauty options. We forecast strong sales growth next year, driven by demand for safer beauty solutions, and plan to exceed these expectations with continued innovation.
On May 10, 2024 we entered into a settlement and co-existence agreement with Ulta Beauty (NASDAQ: ULTA), the world’s leading beauty company, over the rights to our Whim trademark. Under the terms of the agreement, Ulta is limited in the products they can market under the Whim brand name, and we are able to expand our Whim product offerings.
We acquired a 25% stake in Simply Whim, Inc., September 2022, and work together to expand marketing, and increase sales.
Using two new S-1 facilities, we are raising funds for Simply Whim’s inventory, advertising, and social media costs.
We intend to acquire a controlling interest in Simply Whim in the coming fiscal year, which will be reflected in future balance sheet calculations.

Results of Operations
Following is management’s discussion of the relevant items affecting results of operations for the years ended May 31, 2025, and 2024.
Revenues . The Company generated revenues of $11,040 and $-0- for Broadcasting during the years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Broadcast radio revenues are primarily generated by pay per call spot sales from various advertisers. Through barter arrangements with our terrestrial radio station affiliates, Music of Your Life owns three minutes per hour to sell goods and services on these stations. Revenue for Health and Beauty will be included in future operations.
Cost of Sales . Our cost of sales for Broadcasting was $-0- for the years ended May 31, 2025 and 2024. Our cost of sales in the future will consist principally of licensing costs and royalties associated with our syndicated radio network, other related services provided directly or outsourced through our affiliates, as well as operational and staffing costs with respect thereto. Our Cost of Sales for Health and Beauty will be included in future operations.
Salaries and Consulting Expenses . All salaries remain unpaid and accruing for the year ending May 31, 2025. Salaries and consulting expenses for the year ended May 31, 2025 were $120,000 as compared to $407,905 for the year ended May 31, 2024. The increase during the year ended May 31, 2024 was mostly the result of additional expenses of $128,205 related to investor relations. The company also issued 185,000,000 shares valued at $39,700 for consulting services rendered to the Company. We expect that salaries and consulting expenses, that are cash-based instead of share-based, will increase as we add personnel to build our health and beauty business.
Professional Fees. Professional fees for the year ended May 31, 2025 were $30,393 as compared to $101,970 for the year ended May 31, 2024. Professional fees consist mainly of the fees related to the audits and reviews of the Company’s financial statements as well as the filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We anticipate that professional fees will increase in future periods as we scale up our operations.
Other Selling, General and Administrative Expenses . Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $12,519 for the year ended May 31, 2025 as compared to $39,598 for the year ended May 31, 2024. We anticipate that Other SG&A expenses will increase commensurate with an increase in our operations.
Other Income (Expense). The Company had net other expense of $796,580 for the year ended May 31, 2025 which consisted of interest expense of $376,869 and expense from derivative liability of $419,711. The Company had net other income of $384,017 for the year ended May 31, 2024 which consisted of interest expense of $521,923 and income from derivative liability of $905,940.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2025, our primary source of liquidity consisted of $1,071 in cash and cash equivalents. We hold most of our cash reserves in local checking accounts with local financial institutions. Since inception, we have financed our operations through a combination of short and long-term loans, and through the private placement of our common stock.
We have sustained significant net losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit at May 31, 2025 of $15,811,938 and are currently experiencing a substantial shortfall in operating capital which raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We generated a net loss for the year ended May 31, 2025 of $948,452. Without additional revenues, working capital loans, or equity investment, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue operations.
We believe these conditions have resulted from the inherent risks associated with small public companies. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the ability to (i) generate revenues and sales of our products and services at levels sufficient to cover our costs and provide a return for investors, (ii) attract additional capital in order to finance growth, (iii) successfully compete with other comparable companies having financial, production and marketing resources significantly greater than those of the Company, and (iv) increasing costs associated with maintaining public company reporting requirements.
We believe that our capital resources are insufficient for ongoing operations, with minimal current cash reserves, particularly given the resources necessary to expand our multi-media entertainment business. We will likely require considerable amounts of financing to make any significant advancement in our business strategy. There is presently no agreement in place that will guarantee financing for our Company, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise any additional funds, or that such funds will be available on acceptable terms. Funds raised through future equity financing will likely be substantially dilutive to current shareholders. Lack of additional funds will materially affect our Company and our business and may cause us to substantially curtail or even cease operations. Consequently, you could incur a loss of your entire investment in the Company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We believe the following more critical accounting policies are used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On a periodic basis, management reviews those estimates, including those related to valuation allowances, loss contingencies, income taxes, and projection of future cash flows.
Research and Development. Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations recently issued, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows.
