Backstory
SFLMaven is a "beyond well-established" [company's description] jewelry business which has operated successfully on eBay since June 2003 - 18+ years.
It effectively went public when acquired by the former ticker $SKDI in October 2020.
At the same time, $SKDI divested itself of Hakuna and Numuni.
CEO of SFLMaven became CEO of $SKDI wef October 12, 2020.
Significant further information about the success to date of SFLMaven and plans ahead have been given in 14 x videos [see links below].
The CEO has confirmed in videos that there will be no reverse stock split and that the company has a very tight public float.
On / around February 18, 2021 the company applied for a name change of the then current ticker $SKDI to "SFLMaven" and a ticker change.
The name "SFLMaven" and ticker "SFLM" came into effect March 30, 2021.
$SFLM is now re-focused on a serious revenue generating business and - having divested itself of non-core businesses - is set to deliver shareholder value.
SFLMaven has now retained a professional Investor Relations company [source: 3rd video].
SFLMaven has now also retained a brand building Public Relations company [source: PR dated May 11, 2021].
SFLMaven now also sells at 1stDibs [source: Twitter July 8, 2021]
Future Intent
- Increase inventory to increase sales volume.
- Build out own professional on-line retail site - already being worked on [source: 3rd video].
- Start holding investor events as soon as permitted [source: 3rd video].
- Increase shareholder trust by delivering dependable growth month after month and Q after Q.
- Deliver "fantastic shareholder value".
- Emphasize differentiation from other OTC companies - get the word out that it is an undervalued "diamond in the rough" that already keeps cranking out $Ms in revenue month over month [source: 4th video].
- Diversify over more platforms [source: 4th video].
- Expand the new Non-Fungible Token (NFT) Division [source: 9th video and PRs September 21 and 23]
- Already signed first renowned NFT artist - draws live crowds up to 30,000 people [source: PR dated October 15] and a second NFT artist [source: PR dated October 19].
- Plans to recruit local NFT artists to expand Nationwide [source: 11th video].
- Develop a Collectibles Marketplace Strategy by acquiring around 7 x collectible companies - and grow using proven business model - to same revenue level as original SFLMaven - see more detail in specific section below [source: 9th video and PR September 21].
- In the longer term, looking to acquire 8-10 collectibles companies over 5 years [source: 11th video].
- Diversify and grow another significant revenue stream with a Metaverse Division [source: 14th video]
- Initiating audit with goal of filing Form 10, becoming fully reporting company and uplist to OTCQB - so we can expect a sustained .01 bid at some point ahead - have plenty of shares from current levels [source: Shareholder Presentation - June 2021 Version].
Expansion Announcement - September 16, 2021 [source: 9th video]
Start acquiring other collectible companies to create a coalition that uses the well-established already succesful SFLMaven platforms, connections and growth model.
Already in discussion with a few companies - looking to acquire 6 or 7 - such as those specializing in:
- Baseball cards.
- Comic books.
- Handbags.
- Toys.
- Stamps.
- Sports memorabilia.
Plan is to build each to have the same size revenues as SFLMaven Jewelry Division - currently around $1M per month.
In addition, has formed a NFT Division of SFLMaven.

- $SFLM wants to be on the front-lines for accessorising in the Metaverse.
- Starting immediately - going to be a big deal - will be making lots of announcements reporting progress over the coming weeks and months.
- Will be choosing and announcing which Metaverse they will be jumping into first within the next week or so. Then purchasing the "real estate" within it and building the "store" - just like in the real world.
- Completely separate from the core business.
- Metaverse Divison will be funded with revenues from the core Jewelry Division business.

Plans to uplist to OTCQB - will require sustained bid above .01.
Public Offering
A Public Offering of at .0050 to raise capital to increase the inventory to increase sales by a target of 30% in 2021 was filed on January 28, 2021.
The Public Offering Statement was updated on May 18, 2021 to change the price to .0046 and it was confirmed that money was already coming in.
With the sales increase target already exceeded by the end of Q3, a SEC Form 1-Z Public Offering Exit Report was filed on December 9, 2021 showing that:
- $1.615M in capital brought in.
- Only 352.5M of the 2.2 Billion maximum offered from October 10, 2019 were sold at .0046. The majority of these shares have probably already been traded on previous runs (see Share Structure section notes).
From December 16, 2021 onwards, there has been a Public Offering of 2 Billion maximum offered at prices that are varied periodically to offer a discount of around 55% to institutional level investors / large account traders who can meet the minimum of $50K initial purchase, minimum of $10K follow-on purchase and other relevant qualifying criteria.
The increase in Unrestricted Outstanding Shares posted on February 9, 2022 corresponded precisely to a probable 3 x $50K / 62.5M share investments.
Share Structure - Updated February 9, 2022
Transfer Agent Verified - updated at least monthly
Authorized Shares: 5,000,000,000 [same as in January 2020]
Outstanding Shares: 1,640,525,173 [up 341.25M in 11 months September 2020 > August 2021 - no change August 2 > September 8 - up 43.75M September 9 > October 8 - no change October 9 > January 20 - up 187.5M January 21 > February 9]
Restricted: 615,504,231 [up 20M in 11 months September 2020 > August 2021 - no change in last 3 months May to August 2, 2021 - down 50M August 2 > September 8 - no change September 9 > February 9]
Unrestricted: 1,025.020,942 [up 321.25M in 11 months September 2020 > August 2021 - up 50M August 2 > September 8 from formerly Restricted - up 43.75M September 8 > October 8 - no change October 9 > January 20 - up 187.5M January 21 > February 9]
Note 1: It is only the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count that is relevant to immediate trading. Very low at 1B for a stock in the .0015 > .25 price range.
Note 2: The 252.5M increase in the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count in 10 months September 2020 > July 2021 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM.
Note 3: Way more than that increase over 220+ trading days was traded in just a dozen of them - for example: 65M in just 2 days on March 3-4, 30M on March 18, 365M on March 24, 57M on March 25, 99M on March 29, 28M on April 1, 136M on April 5-9, 50M on April 7, 28M on April 8, 21M on April 29 & 35M on May 4 [914M in just those 12 days].
Note 4: The 68.75M increase in July 2021 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 578M were traded in the 20 trading days concerned - including 286.5M on July 15, 49M on July 16 and 112.75M on August 4 [448M+ in just those 3 days alone].
Note 5: The 50M increase in August 2021 - all formerly Restricted shares held by insiders - was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 343M were traded in the 27 trading days concerned - including 112M on August 4 when it ran .0042 > .0064 (52%) and 50M on August 13 when it ran .0040 > .0051 (27.5%).
Note 6: The 43.75M increase in September 2021 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 282M were traded in the 22 trading days concerned - including 71M on September 21 followed by another 60M October 5+6.
Note 7: The 187.5M increase January 21 > February 9 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 304M were traded in the 20 days concerned - including 52M + 71M + 82M + 51M on February 4-9 [256M in just those 4 days].
Note 8: The 187.5M increase equates exactly to 3 x minimum $50K / 62.5M investments at the Public Offering.

Trading Patterns
Note 1: Details of runs in 2019 and 2020 of up to 433% have been deleted - still available to view in the contemporaneous record here.
Note 2: Now that we are expecting run s of 500% > 1000% in 2022 from current levels, details of 8 x runs less than 84% in 2021 have been deleted - still available to view in the contemporaneous record here - to make breakout patterns in a new tax year more evident. In addition, some details of stages observed in previous short squeezes has also been deleted.
Started breakout from .0038 (previous close) > .0050 on January 6, 2021
Ran from .0052 > .0064 on February 9 - 23%
Ran from .0062 > .0080 on February 10 - 29%

Ran from .0092 (previous close) > .0169 on March 29 on just under 99M traded - 84%
Ran from .0169 (previous close) > .0200 (new 2021 high) on March 30 - 18%
Ran from .0127 (previous close) > .0160 on April 1 on just 28M traded - 26%
Ran from .0098 (previous close) > .0119 on April 8 - 21%
Ran from .0060 (previous close) > .0117 on July 15 - 95%
Ran from .0018 (days prior) > .0030 by December 14 - 66%
Ran from .0018 > .0024 on February 4 - 33%.
Maintained same bottom range - predominantly .0020 > .0052 ( 10% > 25% of the anticipated .02+ break) - for 71 trading days to December 31, 2021 as new interest tried bidding first but also bought some on the ask. By then, 823.3M shares - 98.3% of the low Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count at the time - had been bought September 22 - December 31. As the balance at higher prices are held by longs, this should make it extremely thin to the upside in the .0052 > .02+ range. Since then, the same bottom range has been held for a further 34 trading days to Februray 18, 2022.
Expect a dramatic move up anytime we get sufficiently large buys set across several successive asks - taking out any walls put up by any legacy debt holders or those that attempt to manipulate the price down by a combination of shorting and walked down, often "fake" walls - by which I mean cancelled when hit without filling.
When traders fail to hit the ask aggressively enough at the open, any legacy debt holders will continue to trade at current levels.
Any manipulators leave themselves open to getting short squeezed - as happened in 2021 on March 24 and March 29 for 129% and 84% runs and again on July 15 for 95% . During several runs, legacy debt holders have been observed to push bids up and not start daily selling on the ask until a peak is reached.
A number of times in 2021, more traders were willing to hit the ask above hold back attempts to top up their inventory of shares for trading throughout 2022 - especially during the phase when the company starts its qualification attempt to uplist to OTCQB which will require a sustained bid above .01 - and for trading on surge moves and short squeezes.
With many traders now known to be watching $SFLM at all times, those that try walking asks down are likely to get taken out by large buy s - as has been happening over the past 104 trading days - and lose shares at just the wrong time.
As with all my long-term top picks, knowing who got what where - relative to you by process of elimination - is important when deciding the ratio of shares to keep long-term vs locking in partial profits at peaks in the .01 > .02+ range - as is patience - this is a long-term play..
Performance & Outlook
$SFLM will remain a top profit pick for me throughout 2022 for self-evident reasons.
It is currently trading well below where its market cap should be both for its predicted 2022 eBay / 1stDibs revenue of $12.569M and for its planned 10 x revenue ahead with the NFT Divsion, Metaverse Division and acquisitions under the Collectibles Marketplace Strategy.
The company exceeded its 2021 revenue growth target of 30% - achieving $10.241M / 34.75% [see relevant sections above].
$SFLM was also my predicted and actual top profit earner in both 2021 and 2020 due to the extent and frequency of its probable short squeeze runs. As a long-term project, this enables more shares being held for future growth and uplisting to be effectively converted to "free" by trading a portion of the overall inventory on significant moves - particularly on interim peaks around .0150.
It pays to be ready at all times for surges, uplisting to OTCQB and the long-term.
Continued large profit trading opportunities are anticipated ahead throughout 2022 and future years for those who maintain a large inventory of shares at various price points. Having plenty of shares - you don't need the cheapest - avoids the need to chase every time it runs and also locks up an ever increasing % of the low float and thereby deprives new interest of cheap shares - particularly those under .01.
Cancel any left over ask sell orders at close to get the maximum gap up at each open.
Expect .02+ at some point ahead in 2022 - and much higher in the longer term as the up to 10 x revenue from the NFT Division, Metaverse Division and Collectibles Marketplace Strategy kicks in (see forecast in earlier section) - and repeat runs in the meantime to . 01 > .0150 - as the following catalysts play out:
- Awareness in the wider trading / investing community of the proven success and future potential of SFLMaven.
- Weekly eBay sales revenues visible to all share holders on a continuous basis.
- Updates from the company on sales weekly and PRs at least monthly.
- Updates on the progress of the Metaverse Division every week or so.
- 2021 Q4 filings.
- Launch of SFLMaven's own on-line store - in addition to eBay.
- Broadening its multi-channel digital strategy [source: PR July 15].
- Exploring other sales channels outside of eBay to diversify and expand its reach [source: PR July 15].
- Addition of a Shopify store - launch TBA [source: 8th video]
- Nationwide expansion of the NFT Division of SFLMaven.
- Progress with launching the Metaverse Division.
- Collectibles Marketplace Strategy - acquire up to 10 x existing collectibles companies.
- Build revenue of each company to that of the current SFLMaven - $1M+ most months of the year.
- Large investors found by MZ Group from both their client base and investor symposiums.
- Social media influencing and brand building conducted by Heather King PR & Marketing.
- Completion of audit to become "Fully Reporting"
- Uplist to OTCBQ.

SFLMaven Annual Revenue - As At February 18, 2022
Assume that week quoted in company update is February 12-18 (Week 7)
Previous Total to February 11: $1.435M
Revenue This Week: $0.256M
2022 Total to February 18: $1.691M
Note 1: The majority of the revenue comes in each Thursday when the weekly auction ends.
Note 2: Estate items sold on eBay for 18 years - est June 2003 - revenue is limited only by the inventory available each week. This was clearly demonstrated several times during 2021 when desirable items were bought ahead of the auction eg "Buy It Now" sales August 1-4, 2021 were $51,696.
Note 3: 2021 Total Revenue: $10.241M.
Note 4: Pro-rata estimate for 2022 revenue - based on sales to February 18 and not including the anticipated increased revenue streams from acquired collectibles companies, the NFT Division or the Metaverse Division - 365 / 49 x $1.691M = $12.596M.

Backstory
SFLMaven is a "beyond well-established" [company's description] jewelry business which has operated successfully on eBay since June 2003 - 18+ years.
It effectively went public when acquired by the former ticker $SKDI in October 2020.
At the same time, $SKDI divested itself of Hakuna and Numuni.
CEO of SFLMaven became CEO of $SKDI wef October 12, 2020.
Significant further information about the success to date of SFLMaven and plans ahead have been given in 14 x videos [see links below].
The CEO has confirmed in videos that there will be no reverse stock split and that the company has a very tight public float.
On / around February 18, 2021 the company applied for a name change of the then current ticker $SKDI to "SFLMaven" and a ticker change.
The name "SFLMaven" and ticker "SFLM" came into effect March 30, 2021.
$SFLM is now re-focused on a serious revenue generating business and - having divested itself of non-core businesses - is set to deliver shareholder value.
SFLMaven has now retained a professional Investor Relations company [source: 3rd video].
SFLMaven has now also retained a brand building Public Relations company [source: PR dated May 11, 2021].
SFLMaven now also sells at 1stDibs [source: Twitter July 8, 2021]
Future Intent
- Increase inventory to increase sales volume.
- Build out own professional on-line retail site - already being worked on [source: 3rd video].
- Start holding investor events as soon as permitted [source: 3rd video].
- Increase shareholder trust by delivering dependable growth month after month and Q after Q.
- Deliver "fantastic shareholder value".
- Emphasize differentiation from other OTC companies - get the word out that it is an undervalued "diamond in the rough" that already keeps cranking out $Ms in revenue month over month [source: 4th video].
- Diversify over more platforms [source: 4th video].
- Expand the new Non-Fungible Token (NFT) Division [source: 9th video and PRs September 21 and 23]
- Already signed first renowned NFT artist - draws live crowds up to 30,000 people [source: PR dated October 15] and a second NFT artist [source: PR dated October 19].
- Plans to recruit local NFT artists to expand Nationwide [source: 11th video].
- Develop a Collectibles Marketplace Strategy by acquiring around 7 x collectible companies - and grow using proven business model - to same revenue level as original SFLMaven - see more detail in specific section below [source: 9th video and PR September 21].
- In the longer term, looking to acquire 8-10 collectibles companies over 5 years [source: 11th video].
- Diversify and grow another significant revenue stream with a Metaverse Division [source: 14th video]
- Initiating audit with goal of filing Form 10, becoming fully reporting company and uplist to OTCQB - so we can expect a sustained .01 bid at some point ahead - have plenty of shares from current levels [source: Shareholder Presentation - June 2021 Version].
Expansion Announcement - September 16, 2021 [source: 9th video]
Start acquiring other collectible companies to create a coalition that uses the well-established already succesful SFLMaven platforms, connections and growth model.
Already in discussion with a few companies - looking to acquire 6 or 7 - such as those specializing in:
- Baseball cards.
- Comic books.
- Handbags.
- Toys.
- Stamps.
- Sports memorabilia.
Plan is to build each to have the same size revenues as SFLMaven Jewelry Division - currently around $1M per month.
In addition, has formed a NFT Division of SFLMaven.

- Revenue comes from "microtransactions" - people accessorising their avatars at $1 > $10 at a time
- $SFLM will be offering jewelry, collectibles and art as accessories - so easy for them to do as they have items to photograph all the time and an NFT Division - from their own Metaverse real estate store.
- $SFLM wants to be on the front-lines for accessorising in the Metaverse.
- Starting immediately - going to be a big deal - will be making lots of announcements reporting progress over the coming weeks and months.
- Will be choosing and announcing which Metaverse they will be jumping into first within the next week or so. Then purchasing the "real estate" within it and building the "store" - just like in the real world.
- Completely separate from the core business.
- Metaverse Divison will be funded with revenues from the core Jewelry Division business.

Plans to uplist to OTCQB - will require sustained bid above .01.
Public Offering
A Public Offering of at .0050 to raise capital to increase the inventory to increase sales by a target of 30% in 2021 was filed on January 28, 2021.
The Public Offering Statement was updated on May 18, 2021 to change the price to .0046 and it was confirmed that money was already coming in.
With the sales increase target already exceeded by the end of Q3, a SEC Form 1-Z Public Offering Exit Report was filed on December 9, 2021 showing that:
- $1.615M in capital brought in.
- Only 352.5M of the 2.2 Billion maximum offered from October 10, 2019 were sold at .0046. The majority of these shares have probably already been traded on previous runs (see Share Structure section notes).
From December 16, 2021 onwards, there has been a Public Offering of 2 Billion maximum offered at prices that are varied periodically to offer a discount of around 55% to institutional level investors / large account traders who can meet the minimum of $50K initial purchase, minimum of $10K follow-on purchase and other relevant qualifying criteria.
The increase in Unrestricted Outstanding Shares posted on February 9, 2022 corresponded precisely to a probable 3 x $50K / 62.5M share investments.
Share Structure - Updated February 9, 2022
Transfer Agent Verified - updated at least monthly
Authorized Shares: 5,000,000,000 [same as in January 2020]
Outstanding Shares: 1,640,525,173 [up 341.25M in 11 months September 2020 > August 2021 - no change August 2 > September 8 - up 43.75M September 9 > October 8 - no change October 9 > January 20 - up 187.5M January 21 > February 9]
Restricted: 615,504,231 [up 20M in 11 months September 2020 > August 2021 - no change in last 3 months May to August 2, 2021 - down 50M August 2 > September 8 - no change September 9 > February 9]
Unrestricted: 1,025.020,942 [up 321.25M in 11 months September 2020 > August 2021 - up 50M August 2 > September 8 from formerly Restricted - up 43.75M September 8 > October 8 - no change October 9 > January 20 - up 187.5M January 21 > February 9]
Note 1: It is only the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count that is relevant to immediate trading. Very low at 1B for a stock in the .0015 > .25 price range.
Note 2: The 252.5M increase in the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count in 10 months September 2020 > July 2021 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM.
Note 3: Way more than that increase over 220+ trading days was traded in just a dozen of them - for example: 65M in just 2 days on March 3-4, 30M on March 18, 365M on March 24, 57M on March 25, 99M on March 29, 28M on April 1, 136M on April 5-9, 50M on April 7, 28M on April 8, 21M on April 29 & 35M on May 4 [914M in just those 12 days].
Note 4: The 68.75M increase in July 2021 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 578M were traded in the 20 trading days concerned - including 286.5M on July 15, 49M on July 16 and 112.75M on August 4 [448M+ in just those 3 days alone].
Note 5: The 50M increase in August 2021 - all formerly Restricted shares held by insiders - was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 343M were traded in the 27 trading days concerned - including 112M on August 4 when it ran .0042 > .0064 (52%) and 50M on August 13 when it ran .0040 > .0051 (27.5%).
Note 6: The 43.75M increase in September 2021 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 282M were traded in the 22 trading days concerned - including 71M on September 21 followed by another 60M October 5+6.
Note 7: The 187.5M increase January 21 > February 9 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 304M were traded in the 20 days concerned - including 52M + 71M + 82M + 51M on February 4-9 [256M in just those 4 days].
Note 8: The 187.5M increase equates exactly to 3 x minimum $50K / 62.5M investments at the Public Offering.

Ran from .0018 (days prior) > .0030 by December 14 - 66%
Ran from .0018 > .0024 on February 4 - 33%.
Maintained same bottom range - predominantly .0020 > .0052 ( 10% > 25% of the anticipated .02+ break) - for 71 trading days to December 31, 2021 as new interest tried bidding first but also bought some on the ask. By then, 823.3M shares - 98.3% of the low Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count at the time - had been bought September 22 - December 31. As the balance at higher prices are held by longs, this should make it extremely thin to the upside in the .0052 > .02+ range. Since then, the same bottom range has been held for a further 34 trading days to Februray 18, 2022.
Expect a dramatic move up anytime we get sufficiently large buys set across several successive asks - taking out any walls put up by any legacy debt holders or those that attempt to manipulate the price down by a combination of shorting and walked down, often "fake" walls - by which I mean cancelled when hit without filling.
When traders fail to hit the ask aggressively enough at the open, any legacy debt holders will continue to trade at current levels.
Any manipulators leave themselves open to getting short squeezed - as happened in 2021 on March 24 and March 29 for 129% and 84% runs and again on July 15 for 95% . During several runs, legacy debt holders have been observed to push bids up and not start daily selling on the ask until a peak is reached.
A number of times in 2021, more traders were willing to hit the ask above hold back attempts to top up their inventory of shares for trading throughout 2022 - especially during the phase when the company starts its qualification attempt to uplist to OTCQB which will require a sustained bid above .01 - and for trading on surge moves and short squeezes.
With many traders now known to be watching $SFLM at all times, those that try walking asks down are likely to get taken out by large buy s - as has been happening over the past 104 trading days - and lose shares at just the wrong time.
As with all my long-term top picks, knowing who got what where - relative to you by process of elimination - is important when deciding the ratio of shares to keep long-term vs locking in partial profits at peaks in the .01 > .02+ range - as is patience - this is a long-term play..
Performance & Outlook
$SFLM will remain a top profit pick for me throughout 2022 for self-evident reasons.
It is currently trading well below where its market cap should be both for its predicted 2022 eBay / 1stDibs revenue of $12.569M and for its planned 10 x revenue ahead with the NFT Divsion, Metaverse Division and acquisitions under the Collectibles Marketplace Strategy.
The company exceeded its 2021 revenue growth target of 30% - achieving $10.241M / 34.75% [see relevant sections above].
$SFLM was also my predicted and actual top profit earner in both 2021 and 2020 due to the extent and frequency of its probable short squeeze runs. As a long-term project, this enables more shares being held for future growth and uplisting to be effectively converted to "free" by trading a portion of the overall inventory on significant moves - particularly on interim peaks around .0150.
It pays to be ready at all times for surges, uplisting to OTCQB and the long-term.
Continued large profit trading opportunities are anticipated ahead throughout 2022 and future years for those who maintain a large inventory of shares at various price points. Having plenty of shares - you don't need the cheapest - avoids the need to chase every time it runs and also locks up an ever increasing % of the low float and thereby deprives new interest of cheap shares - particularly those under .01.
Cancel any left over ask sell orders at close to get the maximum gap up at each open.
Expect .02+ at some point ahead in 2022 - and much higher in the longer term as the up to 10 x revenue from the NFT Division, Metaverse Division and Collectibles Marketplace Strategy kicks in (see forecast in earlier section) - and repeat runs in the meantime to . 01 > .0150 - as the following catalysts play out:
- Awareness in the wider trading / investing community of the proven success and future potential of SFLMaven.
- Weekly eBay sales revenues visible to all share holders on a continuous basis.
- Updates from the company on sales weekly and PRs at least monthly.
- Updates on the progress of the Metaverse Division every week or so.
- 2021 Q4 filings.
- Launch of SFLMaven's own on-line store - in addition to eBay.

- Exploring other sales channels outside of eBay to diversify and expand its reach [source: PR July 15].
- Addition of a Shopify store - launch TBA [source: 8th video]
- Nationwide expansion of the NFT Division of SFLMaven.
- Progress with launching the Metaverse Division.
- Collectibles Marketplace Strategy - acquire up to 10 x existing collectibles companies.
- Build revenue of each company to that of the current SFLMaven - $1M+ most months of the year.
- Large investors found by MZ Group from both their client base and investor symposiums.
- Social media influencing and brand building conducted by Heather King PR & Marketing.

SFLMaven Annual Revenue - As At February 18, 2022
Assume that week quoted in company update is February 12-18 (Week 7)
Previous Total to February 11: $1.435M
Revenue This Week: $0.256M
2022 Total to February 18: $1.691M
Note 1: The majority of the revenue comes in each Thursday when the weekly auction ends.
Note 2: Estate items sold on eBay for 18 years - est June 2003 - revenue is limited only by the inventory available each week. This was clearly demonstrated several times during 2021 when desirable items were bought ahead of the auction eg "Buy It Now" sales August 1-4, 2021 were $51,696.
Note 3: 2021 Total Revenue: $10.241M.
Note 4: Pro-rata estimate for 2022 revenue - based on sales to February 18 and not including the anticipated increased revenue streams from acquired collectibles companies, the NFT Division or the Metaverse Division - 365 / 49 x $1.691M = $12.596M.
