| Securities offered: | Maximum of 1,000,000,000 Tokens at an offering price of $0.05 per Token | |
| Securities outstanding before the Offering (as of September 15, 2023) | The Company has not issued any Tokens prior to the Offering. | |

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We are not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because we are not registering our securities under the Exchange Act. Rather, we will be subject to the more limited reporting requirements under Regulation A, including the obligation to electronically file:
| ● | annual reports (including disclosure relating to our business operations for the preceding three fiscal years, or, if in existence for less than three years, since inception, related party transactions, beneficial ownership of the issuer’s securities, executive officers and directors and certain executive compensation information, management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the issuer’s liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations, and two years of audited financial statements), |
| ● | semiannual reports (including disclosure primarily relating to the issuer’s interim financial statements and MD&A) and |
| ● | current reports for certain material events. |
In addition, at any time after completing reporting for the fiscal year in which our offering statement was qualified, if the securities of each class to which this Offering Statement relates are held of record by fewer than 300 persons and offers or sales are not ongoing, we may immediately suspend our ongoing reporting obligations under Regulation A.
If and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as an issuer with less than $1.07 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:
| • | will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; |
| • | will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”); |
| • | will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay”, “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes); |
| Page 4 |
| • | will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure; |
| • | may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and |
| • | will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards. |
We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards, and hereby elect to do so. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.
Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this Offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the Offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.
Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that we may also qualify, once listed, as a “smaller reporting company” under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.
Selected Risks Associated with Our Business
Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
| • | We are a comparatively early-stage company that has incurred operating losses in the past, expects to incur operating losses in the future, and may never achieve or maintain profitability. |
| • | Our technology continues to be developed, and there is no guarantee that we will ever successfully develop the technology that is essential to our business to a point at which no further development is needed. |
| • | We may be subject to numerous data protection requirements and regulations. |
| • | We operate in a highly competitive industry that is dominated by a number of exceptionally large, well-capitalized market leaders and the size and resources of some of our competitors may allow them to compete more effectively than we can. |
| • | We rely on third parties to provide services essential to the success of our business. |
| • | We expect to raise additional capital through equity and/or debt offerings to support our working capital requirements and operating losses. |
| • | The Company is controlled by its members and managers. |
| • | A single customer accounts for a material portion of our revenues. |
| • | This investment is illiquid. |
| Page 5 |
The SEC requires the Company to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The Company is still subject to all the same risks that all companies in its business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events, and technological developments (such as cyber-attacks and the ability to prevent such attacks). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently riskier than more developed companies, and the risk of business failure and complete loss of your investment capital is present. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.
Risks Related to Our Company
We have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our performance. Accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks that any new company encounters. Our Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on March 24, 2023. The likelihood of our creation of a successful business must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a business, operation in a competitive industry, and the continued development of our technology and products. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase for the near future, and there is no assurance that we will be profitable in the near future. You should consider our business, operations, and prospects in light of the risks, expenses and challenges faced as an emerging growth company.
Our technology continues to be developed, and it is unlikely that we will ever develop our technology to a point at which no further development is required. Azotto is developing complex technology that requires significant technical and regulatory expertise to develop, commercialize and update to meet evolving market and regulatory requirements. If we are unable to successfully develop and commercialize our technology and products, it will significantly affect our viability as a company.
If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to individually identifiable biometric or other personally identifiable information is otherwise obtained, our reputation may be harmed, and we may incur significant liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, we may collect and store sensitive data, including personally identifiable information (“PII”), owned or controlled by ourselves or our customers, and other parties. We communicate sensitive data electronically, and through relationships with multiple third-party vendors and their subcontractors. These applications and data encompass a wide variety of business-critical information, including research and development information, patient data, commercial information, and business and financial information. We face a number of risks relative to protecting this critical information, including loss of access risk, inappropriate use or disclosure, inappropriate modification, and the risk of our being unable to adequately monitor, audit, and modify our controls over our critical information. This risk extends to the third-party vendors and subcontractors we use to manage this sensitive data. As a custodian of this data, Azotto therefore inherits responsibilities related to this data, exposing itself to potential threats. Data breaches occur at all levels of corporate sophistication (including at companies with significantly greater resources and security measures than our own) and the resulting fallout stemming from these breaches can be costly, time-consuming, and damaging to a company’s reputation. Further, data breaches need not occur from malicious attack or phishing only. Often, employee carelessness can result in sharing PII with a much wider audience than intended. Consequences of such data breaches could result in fines, litigation expenses, costs of implementing better systems, and the damage of negative publicity, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial condition.
Privacy and data security laws and regulations could require us to make changes to our business, impose additional costs on us and reduce the demand for our software solutions. Our business model contemplates that we will transmit a significant amount of personal or identifying information through our platform. Privacy and data security have become significant issues in the United States and in other jurisdictions where we may offer our video surveillance solutions. The regulatory framework relating to privacy and data security issues worldwide is evolving rapidly and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies have in the past adopted, or may in the future adopt, laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, processing, storage and disclosure of personal or identifying information obtained from customers and other individuals. In addition to government regulation, privacy advocates and industry groups may propose various self-regulatory standards that may legally or contractually apply to our business. Because the interpretation and application of many privacy and data security laws, regulations and applicable industry standards are uncertain, it is possible that these laws, regulations and standards may be interpreted and applied in a manner inconsistent with our existing privacy and data management practices. As we expand into new jurisdictions or verticals, we will need to understand and comply with various new requirements applicable in those jurisdictions or verticals.
To the extent applicable to our business or the businesses of our customers, these laws, regulations and industry standards could have negative effects on our business, including by increasing our costs and operating expenses, and delaying or impeding our deployment of new core functionality and products. Compliance with these laws, regulations and industry standards requires significant management time and attention, and failure to comply could result in negative publicity, subject us to fines or penalties or result in demands that we modify or cease existing business practices. In addition, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, such laws, regulations and industry standards may adversely affect our customers’ ability or desire to collect, use, process and store personal information using our software solutions, which could reduce overall demand for them. Even the perception of privacy and data security concerns, whether or not valid, may inhibit market acceptance of our software solutions in certain verticals. Any of these outcomes could adversely affect our business and operating results.
| Page 6 |
We anticipate sustaining operating losses for the foreseeable future. It is anticipated that we will sustain operating losses until for the foreseeable future as we expand our team, continue with research and development, and strive to gain customers and gain market share in our industry. Our ability to become profitable depends on our ability to expand our customer base. There can be no assurance that this will occur. Unanticipated problems and expenses are often encountered in offering new products which may impact whether the Company is successful. Furthermore, we may encounter substantial delays and unexpected expenses related to development, technological changes, marketing, regulatory requirements and changes to such requirements or other unforeseen difficulties. There can be no assurance that we will ever become profitable. If the Company sustains losses over an extended period of time, it may be unable to continue in business.
If our products do not achieve broad acceptance both domestically and internationally, we will not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth. We cannot accurately predict the future growth rate or the size of the market for our products and technology. The expansion of the market for our solutions depends on a number of factors, such as: market demand and trends, competitive landscape, economic conditions, regulatory and legal requirements, technological advancements, cultural and social factors, distribution and logistics, partnerships and collaborations, customer education and support, economic conditions.
Successful infringement claims against us could result in significant monetary liability or prevent us from selling some
of our products. We believe our products and technology may be highly disruptive to a very
large and growing market. Our competitors are well capitalized with significant intellectual property protection and resources and they
(and/or patent trolls) may initiate infringement lawsuits against our Company. Such litigation could be expensive and could also prevent
us from selling our products, which would significantly harm our ability to grow our business as planned.
In order for the Company to compete and grow, it must attract, recruit, retain and develop the necessary personnel who have the needed experience. Recruiting and retaining highly qualified personnel, consultants and advisors is critical to our success. These demands may require us to hire additional personnel, consultants and advisors and will require our existing management personnel to develop additional expertise. We face intense competition for personnel, consultants and advisors. The failure to attract and retain personnel, consultants and advisors or to develop such expertise could delay or halt the development and commercialization of our product candidates. If we experience difficulties in hiring and retaining personnel in key positions, or in hiring consultants and advisors, we could suffer from delays in product development, loss of customers and sales and diversion of management resources, which could adversely affect operating results. Our consultants and advisors may be employed by third parties and may have commitments under consulting or advisory contracts with third parties that may limit their availability to us.
Our future success is dependent on the continued service of our small management team. Three executive officers provide leadership to Azotto. Our success is dependent on their ability to manage all aspects of our business effectively. Because we are relying on our small management team, we lack certain business development resources that may hurt our ability to grow our business. Although we intend to grow our management team, there is no guarantee that newly added management team members will contribute to Azotto as we hope. Any loss of key members of our executive team could have a negative impact on our ability to manage and grow our business effectively. We do not have employment agreements with any members of our senior management team, nor do we maintain a key person life insurance policy on any of the members of our senior management team. As a result, we would have no way to cover the financial loss if we were to lose the services of our directors or officers.
Any valuation at this stage is difficult to assess. Our valuation was established internally. Unlike listed companies that are valued publicly through market-driven stock prices, the valuation of private companies, especially early-stage companies, is difficult to assess and you may risk overpaying for your investment if you invest in our Offering.
A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease in the United States may adversely affect our business. If a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease occurs in the United States, our business may be adversely affected. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. This virus continues to spread globally and, as of April 2020, has spread to over 50 countries, including the United States. The spread of an infectious disease, including COVID-19, may result in the inability of our suppliers to deliver components to us on a timely basis, or our service providers to continue providing services in an effective manner. Further, the spread of a disease such as COVID-19 could lead to unfavorable economic conditions, which would adversely impact our operations. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.

Risks Related to the Securities in this Offering
This investment is illiquid. There is no currently established market for reselling these securities. If you decide that you want to resell these securities in the future, you may not be able to find a buyer. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.
The Tokens are subject to dilution, including through the issuance of Tokens to future investors, third-parties, officers, employees and directors and affiliates.
| Page 8 |
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
Plan of Distribution
The Company is offering up to 1,000,000,000 tokens on a “best efforts” basis at a price of $0.05 per Unit. The minimum subscription is $10.00, or 200 Tokens. Under Regulation A+, the Company may only offer $50 million in Tokens during a rolling 12-month period. As of September 15, 2023, the Company has issued 0 Tokens in this Offering for gross proceeds of $0.
The Company intends to market the shares in this Offering both through online and offline means. Online marketing may take the form of contacting potential investors through electronic media and posting our Offering Circular or “testing the waters” materials on an online investment platform. This Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors via download 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on the Company’s website (www.Azotto.com) on a landing page that relates to the Offering, www.Azotto.com/investorrelations.
The Offering will terminate at the earlier of the date at which the maximum offering amount has been sold and the date at which the Offering is earlier terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion.
The Company may undertake one or more closings on an ongoing basis. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be available to the Company.
| Page 9 |
Selling Security holders
No securities are being sold for the account of security holders; all net proceeds of this Offering will go to the Company.
Transfer Agent
We have not engaged a Transfer Agent for the Company’s securities. The Offering will be sold by the Company’s members and managers.
Investors’ Tender of Funds
After the SEC has qualified the Offering Statement, the Company will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Common Stock. The Company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their securities on the same date). Investors may subscribe by tendering funds via ACH, debit or credit card, wire or check. Subscriptions via credit card will be processed via a third-party payment processor integrated with Novation Solutions Inc. o/a DealMaker. The Company estimates that processing fees for credit card subscriptions will be approximately 4.5% of total funds invested per transaction. The Company intends to pay these fees on behalf of investors. Investors should note that processing of checks and credit cards by financial institutions has been impacted by restrictions on businesses due to the coronavirus pandemic. Delays in the processing and closing of subscriptions paid by check may occur, and credit card processing fees may fluctuate. Upon closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to the Company for its use. The Company estimates that approximately 58% of the gross proceeds raised in this Offering will be paid via credit card. This assumption was used in estimating the payment processing fees included in the total Offering expenses set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” section of this Offering Circular.
In order to invest you will be required to subscribe to the Offering at www.Azotto.com/investorrelations and agree to the terms of the Offering and the subscription agreement.
Upon confirmation that an investor’s funds have cleared, the Company will instruct the Transfer Agent to issue shares to the investor. The Transfer Agent will notify an investor when shares are ready to be issued and the Transfer Agent has set up an account for the investor.
In the event that it takes some time for the Company to raise funds in this Offering, the Company may rely on cash on hand, or may seek to raise funds by conducting a new offering of equity or debt securities.

Assuming a raise of $25,000,000 (representing 50% of the maximum offering amount), the net proceeds would be approximately $19,000,000, after subtracting estimated Offering costs (including legal, accounting, marketing, selling, platform fees, payment processing fees, and other costs incurred in the Offering) of $6,000,000 and assuming the sale of 500,000,000 Tokens.
Assuming a raise of $35,000,000 (representing 75% of the maximum offering amount), the net proceeds would be approximately $28,500,000, after subtracting estimated Offering costs (including legal, accounting, marketing, selling, platform fees, payment processing fees, and other costs incurred in the Offering) of $9,000,000 and assuming the sale of 750,000,000 Tokens.
Assuming a minimum raise of $20,000, the net proceeds would be approximately $10,000, after subtracting estimated Offering costs (including legal, accounting, marketing, selling, platform fees, payment processing fees, and other costs incurred in the Offering) of $10,000 an assuming the sale of 400,000 tokens.

We take the protection of our users seriously, and we strongly encourage all users to conduct their own research and seek advice from financial and legal professionals before making any decisions regarding the purchase or use of our utility token.

AZOTTO: Web3 Car Transactions Platform
In this whitepaper, we will discuss AZOTTO’s MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and MVS (Minimum Viable Segment) and how the platform would be built in two phases to solve the car buying and selling transaction process.
In PHASE ONE, we’ll create an MVP auction platform for private sellers and vetted-authorized dealerships to bid on cars. Instead of selling to one dealer, the sellers will get bids from 100s of dealers—maximizing the selling price. The Dealerships (buyers) will handle the paperwork for private sellers—saving them time and money, while the platform will ensure a frictionless and secure car transactions process. We will discuss PHASE TWO later in the whitepaper.

Overview
A vehicle auction marketplace is an online platform that facilitates the buying and selling of vehicles through a bidding process. The platform allows sellers to list their vehicles for auction that buyers can bid on.
Market Size & Growth
$448.56 Billion
36.2 Million Used Vehicles Sold Annually1
$26,700 Average Used Car Selling Price2
Problems & Challenges
These are the problems & challenges that online vehicle platforms are facing.
• Fraudulent Activities
• Fake Representations
• Inefficient Auction Conclusion Process
• Shortage of Inventory
• Lack of Customer Support
Fraudulent Activities
Rid Bidding is among the most common fraudulent activities experienced by online vehicle platforms. There are many rig biddings, but the most common rig bidding practices in online vehicle auction platforms are below.
Fake Representations
Fake representations on an auction platform refer to inaccurate or misleading descriptions a seller provides to deceive potential buyers. This can lead to buyers paying more for a vehicle that does not meet their expectations.
Example: a seller could list a car for sale and falsely claim that it has never been in an accident when in fact, it has or not disclose other mechanical issues. If the buyer believes the vehicle has a clean history and places a bid based on that belief, they may pay more for the car than they would have otherwise.
On the other hand, the buyers might misrepresent their ability to pay or falsely claim that the car had undisclosed mechanical issues.

Inefficient Auction Conclusion Process
Auction Aftermath: Complicated and time-consuming process.
| ● | Both the seller and buyer need to complete the necessary paperwork and transfer the funds. |
| ● | Signing the title and bill of sale. |
| ● | The buyer has to register the car and obtain new license plates. |
| ● | Buyer may need to arrange for shipping. |
| ● | Lack of customer support from the auction platforms. |
| ● | Current auction platform process could take several days. |
Shortage of inventory
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the global supply chain, resulting in a shortage of new cars. The supply chain and labor constraints implemented earlier in the pandemic forced the automates to cut new-vehicle production.3
Furthermore, the global microchip shortage prevented automakers from producing new vehicles. As a result, many people turned to the used car market, leading to a surge in demand, empty dealer lots, and higher used and new car prices.
Because of this global shortage, the used car market faces another challenge: vehicle owners are keeping their vehicles while they wait for newer vehicles to become available before they trade in or sell their older vehicles.
Lack of customer Support
Online auction platforms are designed for ease of use, allowing consumers to buy goods without needing an intermediary and leaving the comfort of their houses. An online auction platform for vehicles is slightly different in terms of process after auction conclusion, which may require additional support from the platform. Because the buyer is not simply buying a product and having it delivered to their house, the buyer has to make sure that the vehicle paperwork gets transferred over and the handling of a payment goes smoothly.
Suppose the online vehicle auction platform is not designed well to handle edge-case. In that case, it may lead to several problems, requiring real-human assistance to mitigate issues, such as payment, fraud, and or other inquiries. The auction platform must be equipped to handle such edge cases.
Market Dynamics
Growth Drivers
One of the main problems that vehicle auction platforms are currently facing is a shortage of inventory due to supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The global shortage of semiconductors has affected the production of new vehicles, leading to a decrease in the number of new vehicles available for auction. As a result, there is now an increased demand for used vehicles, which has led to higher prices and lower inventory levels.
Trends
Consumer Behavior: The auction industry is facing a shift in consumer behavior and preferences, as younger generations are more likely to prefer buying cars online rather than through traditional auctions. This trend prompts traditional vehicle auction platforms to adapt their business models and online strategies to remain competitive in the evolving marketplace.

| Page 15 |
Smarter Auction Platforms: Because of the consumer behavior of buying almost anything online, artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly significant role in the online vehicle auction industry, with several applications that are helping to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and overall experience of the online auction process.
Examples of how AI can help online vehicle auction platforms:
Predictive Analytics: AI algorithms can analyze large sets of data, including vehicle sales
and pricing history, to identify patterns and predict future trends.
Image Recognition: AI algorithms can recognize and analyze vehicle images, identifying and cataloging important features and components. Image recognition/computer vision can also identify imperfections on the car, which can help determine the condition of the vehicle.
Fraud Detection: AI algorithms can analyze bidding behavior and other patterns to identify potential fraudulent activity, such as shill bidding or bid rigging. This helps to ensure fair and transparent auctions and builds trust in the platform.
Chatbots and Virtual Assistants: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can help buyers and sellers with their inquiries, providing 24/7 support and helping to reduce wait times for customer service.

Solution
The AZOTTO auction platform connects private sellers to dealerships to bid on their vehicles to get them the best price without the hassle.
AZOTTO will make buying and selling vehicles as easy as ordering an item on Amazon within minutes and having it delivered to your doorstep. The platform will be built strategically in two phases to eliminate the problems that the current vehicle auction platforms face today as well as streamline the buying and selling process.
PHASE 1 focuses on building a C2B (consumer-to-business) auction marketplace that will allow private sellers to sell or trade-in their vehicles directly to the licensed dealerships on the platform.
The C2B business model solves both users’ problems and pain-points.
Seller:
| ● | No longer have to wait days to sell their car |
| ● | No longer have to meet up with a stranger |
| ● | Won’t get low-balled by a dealership |
| ● | Don’t have to deal with paperwork |
| ● | Save money on taxes |
| ● | Free listing |
Buyer:
• Lead generation
• Increased sales & inventory
The niche target audience and the C2B business model allows us to solve significant problems for both the private seller and buyer and help us build our credibility as a company, which would then allow us to begin preparing for PHASE TWO of the platform build.
We will move on to the next step of our platform development, which will allow us to transition from C2B to a C2C (consumer-to-consumer or peer-to-peer) business model—allowing any user to sell and buy a vehicle online anywhere safely and without the hassle.
As we proceed with this phase, we intend to collaborate with each state’s regulatory bodies responsible for automotive vehicle registra- tion and title regulations to establish a partnership.
Our goal is to convert physical paperwork to NFTs, thereby becoming the pioneer in eliminating the need for physical documentation when buying or selling vehicles.
| Page 17 |
Go-To-Market Strategy
To effectively acquire sellers on our marketplace, we will utilize a multifaceted approach that includes using affiliate marketing, implementing search ads, creating SEO-optimized content, utilizing social media, and PR newswire to increase brand awareness and attract users to our website.
Our go-to-market strategy for PHASE ONE will be focused on two aspects of the car selling/buying process. 1) Private party sellers who want to avoid the hassle of paperwork and meeting strangers when selling their cars. 2) Local, vetted car dealerships who will compete to purchase cars from buyers through an auction.
Our MVP product will serve the DFW market before expanding to other states.
The platform fee will be free for 6 months for the buyers.
Business Model
Below is our C2B business model of the online auction marketplace during PHASE 1.
Sellers:
Sellers will not be charged for the listing
Buyers:
A platform fee of 3% in addition to the payment processing fee is charged by the platform. However, buyers have the option to avoid paying the payment processing fee by utilizing our AZTO utility token for their purchase(s). Moreover, buyers can earn a 1% token reward for using the AZTO utility token.
| Vehicle Sold Price | Platform Fee (Buyers pay) |
| $0–$10,000 | 3% |
| $10,000–$50,000 | 2.5% |
| $50,000+ | 1% |
Technology (Phase 1)
AZOTTO is committed to utilizing the most advanced technologies to build a robust, user-friendly, secure auction platform. The auction platform offers a unique combination of verification, blockchain technology, smart contracts, and AI/ML to streamline buying/selling vehicles online.
Verification: The buyers (dealerships) will be verified before we onboard them on the platform. The sellers will also undergo a verification process before using the platform.
Vehicle Valuation: Using computer vision, used cars, and trade-in data, our AI models will analyze the price of the vehicle based on vehicle history, mileage, and condition. This would give the seller a quick value of their car and allow them to set this as a starting bid or choose their price.
| Page 18 |
Rig Bid Detection: Implementing AI-based fraud detection techniques to analyze bidding patterns and detect suspicious activities, also designing smart contracts with specific logic and rules to prevent fraudulent activities, such as detecting and preventing bids from unauthorized parties.
Smart Contracts: Smart contracts will be used for the entire auction biddings process, such as reserve price, auction start and end time, and the bidding rules. As well as storing vehicle history and other tasks to streamline the process for an enhanced user experience.
Secure Data Management: The data associated with the smart contract, including auction parameters, bids, and winners, are stored on the Polygon blockchain in a distributed ledger format—ensuring the data is immutable and transparent. Any critical auction data transactions or history will be stored on the blockchain to ensure the transparency and immutability of the auction process.
User profile databases will be stored in a separate database, such as PostgreSQL, which can be optimized for storing user data efficiently and securely. This approach would allow us to handle complex queries, indexing, and scaling much more effectively while offering a more cost-effective approach than storing user data on a blockchain, which can be expensive due to the computation power required to perform consensus and maintain the blockchain network.

Tokenomics
AZOTTO Utility Token (AZTO) will allow token holders to earn a percentage of tokens back when they purchase products or services within the AZOTTO ecosystem.
Token Name: AZTO
Total max supply: 1,000,000,000 tokens.
Token price: $0.05.
Token Type: ERC-20.
Token Distribution: A total number of tokens distributed would be 1bn. No new tokens will be created.
Token Use: The AZTO utility token’s purpose is to reward users for participating in the AZOTTO ecosystem by purchasing products and services. Token holders can also use the tokens to participate on our vehicle auction platform and use the tokens as a payment to complete the transaction(s).
Token Rewards: The token holders get 1% of the token back as rewards for using the AZTO utility token to purchase products and services.
Pre-Sale: We will conduct a pre-sale for our utility token on our website. After our pre-sale, we will launch our token on major DEXs and CEXs.
Smart-Contract Audits: As part of our commitment to transparency and security, we will conduct a thorough audit of our token and smart contracts before the pre-sale stage by a professional auditing firm.
Token Deflationary Mechanisms: The company may choose to imple- ment a token burn mechanism, where a certain percentage of tokens are permanently removed from circulation. This can help to increase the value of remaining tokens and create scarcity.

| Page 20 |
Token Security Measures
Smart Contract Audit: The AZTO Token smart contract will undergo a thorough audit by a reputable third-party security firm before the token launch to identify and fix any vulnerabilities or bugs that could compro- mise the security of the token or its users.
Multi-signature Wallet: The AZTO Token team will use multi-signature wallets to store all funds raised during the pre-sale and ICO phases.
Two-Factor Authentication: The AZTO Token team will implement two-factor authentication (2FA) for all key account logins to prevent unauthorized access.
Regular Security Audits: The AZTO Token team will conduct regular security audits to ensure the token remains secure over time. These audits will include penetration testing, vulnerability scans, and code reviews.
Emergency Stop Mechanisms: The AZTO Token team will implement emergency stop mechanisms that allow them to pause the token’s functionality in the event of a security breach or other emergency situation.
Timelock Mechanisms: The AZTO Token team will implement time lock mechanisms that delay the execution of certain functions within the smart contract. This can prevent attackers from exploiting vulnerabilities in the contract by giving the team time to identify and fix any issues before the functions are executed.
Role-Based Access Control: The AZTO Token team will implement role-based access control (RBAC) to restrict access to specific functions within the smart contract.
Cold Storage: The company will store the tokens in a cold storage wallet, which is not connected to the Internet. This makes it less susceptible to hacking attempts, but it can also make it more difficult to access the tokens when needed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To: Azotto Technology, LLC Management
Opinion:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Company which comprise the statement of financial position from its inception to September 30, 2023 and the related statements of operations, statement of changes in shareholder equity, and statement of cash flows for the period then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company from its inception to September 30, 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion:
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’'s Responsibilities” section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern:
As discussed in Note 9, specific circumstances point to significant uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to sustain its operations in the foreseeable future. The provided financial statements have not been adjusted for potential requirements in case the Company cannot continue its operations. The management has assessed these circumstances and intends to generate income and secure funding as necessary to fulfill its financial requirement.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements:
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months subsequent to the date this audit report is issued.
| F-3 |
Auditor’s Responsibility:
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
| l | Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. |
| l | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. |
| l | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. |
| l | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. |
| l | Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. |
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

Azotto Technology, LLC
Notes to the Financial Statements
Inception - September 30, 2023
$USD
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF ACTIVITIES
Azotto Technology, LLC (“the Company”) was formed in Texas on March 24, 2023. The company plans to earn revenue using a marketplace platform leveraging technologies, such as AI/ML, and Blockchain and transferring from web2 to web3. The company's headquarters is in Plano, Texas. The company's customers will be located in the United States.
The Company will conduct an equity crowdfunding campaign under Regulation A+ in 2023 - 2024 to raise operating capital.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Its fiscal year ends on December 31. The Company has no interest in variable interest entities and no predecessor entities.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
These tiers include:
Level 1: defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3: defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
| F-9 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and services in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue Recognition” following the five steps procedure:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with customers
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations
Step 5: Recognize revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied
The Company will identify and analyze its performance obligations with respect to customer contracts once the first contract is signed.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of costs for financial projections, legal and accounting fees, and filing fees.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to us or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
The Company has one loan to one owner, as a result of general and administrative expenses paid by the owner on behalf of the Company. The loan is non-interest bearing and is payable on demand.
NOTE 4 –COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS
The Company is not currently involved with or knows of any pending or threatening litigation against it or any of its officers. Further, the Company is currently complying with all relevant laws and regulations. The Company does not have any long-term commitments or guarantees.
NOTE 5 – LIABILITIES AND DEBT
The Company has no debt or long term liabilities.
| F-10 |
NOTE 6 – EQUITY
The Company shall have a single class of membership interests. No member shall have the right to withdraw all or any part of its capital contribution or to receive any return on any portion of its capital contribution. No member shall have priority over any other similar member as to profits, losses, or distributions.
Membership interests are divided equally (33.33%) among three members.
NOTE 7 –SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated events subsequent to September 30, 2023 to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure in this report. Such events were evaluated through October 4, 2023, the date these financial statements were available to be issued. No events require recognition or disclosure.
NOTE 8- INITIAL COIN OFFERING
The Company will have a maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 (1BN) Azotto Utility Tokens (AZTO) that will allow token holders to earn a percentage of tokens back when they purchase products or services within the Azotto ecosystem. No new tokens will be created. The token price will be $.05 and the token type will be Ethereum Request for Comments 20 (ERC-20).
NOTE 9 –GOING CONCERN
The accompanying balance sheet has been prepared on a going concern basis, which means that the entity expects to continue its operations and meet its obligations in the normal course of business. The entity has not commenced principal operations and may continue to generate losses for the foreseeable future. Some uncertainties the company faces are:
| 1. | Realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities: The company anticipates that it will be able to generate revenue and use it to satisfy its current and future obligations. |
| 2. | Losses and working capital: The company expects to experience losses before it can generate positive working capital. It is uncertain how long this period will last. |
| 3. | Financing: Over the next twelve months, the company plans to finance its operations through a crowdfunding campaign and revenue-producing activities. |
| 4. | Dependence on revenues and financing: The company's ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months depends on its ability to generate revenues and/or obtain sufficient financing to meet its obligations and achieve profitable operating results. |
| 5. | Management's plans: The company's management has evaluated the situation and intends to generate revenues and raise capital as needed to meet its capital requirements. However, there is no guarantee of success in these efforts. |
Considering these factors, there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. It is important to note that the financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities.

If the Company does not elect to purchase all of the remaining Transferred Interest within such forty-five (45) day time period, the remaining Members shall have the option to individually or collectively purchase all or a portion of such remaining Transferred Interest and may do so if they make such election by providing the divorced Member with a written notice of such intention within sixty (60) days from the Company's receipt of the Divorce Notice. The failure of the Company and/or any Member to submit a notice within the applicable period shall constitute an election on the part of the Company and/or such Member not to purchase any of the Transferred Interest.

Representations and Warranties of Investor. By subscribing to the Offering, Investor (and, if Investor is purchasing the Tokens subscribed for hereby in a fiduciary capacity, the person or persons for whom Investor is so purchasing) represents and warrants, which representations and warranties are true and complete in all material respects, as of the date of each Closing: (a) Requisite Power and Authority. Investor has all necessary power and authority under all applicable provisions of law to subscribe to the Offering, to execute and deliver this Subscription Agreement and to carry out the provisions thereof. All actions on Investor's part required for the lawful subscription to the offering have been or will be effectively taken prior to the Closing. Upon subscribing to the Offering, this Subscription Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights and (ii) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.
(b) Company Offering Circular and SEC Reports. Investor acknowledges the public availability of the Company's Offering Circular which can be viewed on the SEC Edgar Database, under the CIK number ___________________. This Offering Circular is made available in the Company's qualified offering statement on SEC Form 1-A, as amended, and was qualified by the SEC on ______________, 2023. In the Company's Offering Circular it makes clear the terms and conditions of the offering of Shares and the risks associated therewith are described. Investor has had an opportunity to discuss the Company's business, management and financial affairs with directors, officers and management of the Company and has had the opportunity to review the Company's operations and facilities. Investor has also had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company and its management regarding the terms and conditions of this investment. Investor acknowledges that except as set forth herein, no representations or warranties have been made to Investor, or to Investor's advisors or representative, by the Company or others with respect to the business or prospects of the Company or its financial condition. (c) Investment Experience; Investor Determination of Suitability. Investor has sufficient experience in financial and business matters to be capable of utilizing such information to evaluate the merits and risks of Investor's investment in the Tokens, and to make an informed decision relating thereto. Alternatively, the Investor has utilized the services of a purchaser representative and together they have sufficient experience in financial and business matters that they are capable of utilizing such information to evaluate the merits and risks of Investor's investment in the Tokens, and to make an informed decision relating thereto. Investor has evaluated the risks of an investment in the Tokens, including those described in the section of the Offering Circular entitled "Risk Factors," and has determined that the investment is suitable for Investor. Investor has adequate financial resources for an investment of this character. Investor could bear a complete loss of Investor's investment in the Company. (d) No Registration. Investor understands that the Tokens are not being registered under the Securities Act on the ground that the issuance is exempt under Regulation A of Section 3(b) of the Securities Act, and that reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the truth and accuracy of Investor's representations and warranties, and those of the other purchasers of the Tokens, in the offering. Investor further understands that, at present, the Company is offering the Tokens solely by members of its management. However, the Company reserves the right to engage the services of a broker/dealer who is registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). Accordingly, until such FINRA registered broker/dealer has been engaged as a placement or selling agent, the Tokens may not be "covered securities" under the National Securities Market Improvement Act of 1996, and the Company may be required to register or qualify the Tokens under the securities laws of those states in which the Company intends to offer the Tokens. In the event that Tokens are so registered or qualified, the Company will notify the Investor and all prospective purchasers of the Tokens as to those states in which the Company is permitted to offer and sell the Tokens. In the event that the Company engages a FINRA registered broker/dealer as placement or selling agent, and FINRA approves the compensation of such broker/dealer, then the Tokens will no longer be required to be registered under state securities laws on the basis that the issuance thereof is exempt as an offer and sale not involving a registrable public offering in such state, as the Tokens will be "covered securities" under the National Securities Market Improvement Act of 1996. The Investor covenants not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Tokens unless such Tokens have been registered under the applicable state securities laws in which the Tokens are sold, or unless exemptions from such registration requirements are otherwise available. (e) Illiquidity and Continued Economic Risk. Investor acknowledges and agrees that there is no ready public market for the Tokens and that there is no guarantee that a market for their resale will ever exist. The Company has no obligation to list any of the Tokens on any market or take any steps (including registration under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) with respect to facilitating trading or resale of the Tokens. Investor must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely and Investor acknowledges that Investor is able to bear the economic risk of losing Investor's entire investment in the Tokens. (f) Accredited Investor Status or Investment Limits. Investor represents that either: (i) that Investor is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Shares Act; or
(ii) that the Purchase Price, together with any other amounts previously used to purchase Tokens in this offering, does not exceed Ten Percent (10%) of the greater of Investor's annual income or net worth (or in the case where Investor is a non-natural person, their revenue or net assets for such Investor's most recently completed fiscal year end). Investor represents that to the extent it has any questions with respect to its status as an accredited investor, or the application of the investment limits, it has sought professional advice. (g) Stockholder Information. Within five (5) days after receipt of a request from the Company, Investor hereby agrees to provide such information with respect to its status as a stockholder (or potential stockholder) and to execute and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and regulations to which the Company is or may become subject, including, without limitation, the need to determine the accredited investor status of the Company's stockholders. Investor further agrees that in the event it transfers any Tokens, it will require the transferee of such Tokens to agree to provide such information to the Company as a condition of such transfer. (h) Valuation; Arbitrary Determination of Per Unit Purchase Price by the Company. Investor acknowledges that the Per Unit Purchase Price of the Tokens to be sold in this offering was set by the Company on the basis of the Company's internal valuation and no warranties are made as to value.
