Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 29, 2017, we entered into a business services agreement with WENN Digital Inc. (the “Client”) Pursuant to the business services agreement, we agreed to provide the Client certain initial coin offering (“ICO”) services, including (i) pre-ICO consultancy services such as business modelling and scoping and development and advisory services surrounding token models and token incentivization and cryptoeconomics creating networks; (ii) ICO consultancy services such as public relations and marketing plans (not including the assistance regarding the offer or sale of any tokens or coins); and (iii) post-ICO support (monthly services) such as community development and management and general support.

 

The Client is to be born from combining two substantial, existing businesses, Ryde GmbH (“Ryde”) and The WENN Media Group Limited (“WENN Media”). To our knowledge, Ryde and WENN Media have deep big data, blockchain development, copyright legal experience, proven AI-enabled image recognition and a post-licensing platform. To our knowledge, the Client plans to build a sustainable community on the blockchain of the world’s photographers, offering them, among other things: (i) an efficient and cost-effective means to manage, protect and monetize their creative work; (ii) fast and free copyright protection registration; (iii) efficient and fully transparent accounting reporting; (iv) instant payments; and (v) innovative new revenue streams. The stockholders of Client currently include us, Blockchain Merchant Group, Inc., Business Instincts Group Inc., Ryde, and WENN Media and, upon the closing of its acquisitions of Ryde and WENN Media, are expected to include certain shareholders of those entities.

 

We do not intend to find or make referrals to, or otherwise solicit, or assist in any way in the solicitation of, investors for investment in the Client’s coin offerings, act as a placement agent for the sale of the Client’s coins, or otherwise engage in any activity that would require us to register under Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or similar provisions under state law.

 

The total fees for the services provided in connection with the launch and completion of the ICO will be the lesser of (1) total amount raised on the ICO, or (2) $500,000 plus work fees which are calculated at 6% of the total amount raised on the ICO. This is payable on closing of the ICO and on receipt of the proceeds of the ICO by the Client. The fees for the monthly services of $35,000 per month (subject to renegotiation if we determine that the cost of the monthly services exceeds $35,000 per month) are due at the beginning of each month commencing on the date on which the ICO has closed. Immediately upon completion of the ICO, the Client agreed to issue us such number of coins or tokens, as applicable, as is equal to 20% of the aggregate number of coins or tokens raised in the ICO (which are deemed earned on the date of execution of the business services agreement). The Client also agreed to reimburse us for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the agreement and carrying out the services.

 

The business services agreement will continue until completion of the ICO unless earlier terminated by us or the Client. With respect to the monthly services, we agreed to provide the monthly services for one year commencing on the date on which the ICO has closed, after which the agreement and the provision of the monthly services will automatically renew for one year periods and can be terminated by us or the Client on 30 days written notice.

 

Either we or the Client may terminate the business services agreement upon the provision of thirty days written notice to the other party. If the Client provides such notice, we may immediately terminate the business services agreement and will be entitled to no further compensation, except for the following lump sum payments: (i) any fees earned to the effective date of termination; (ii) out of pocket expenses incurred prior to the effective date of termination; (iii) a lump sum payment of $105,000 and 20% of the aggregate number of coins or tokens issued in any ICO.

 

Our chairman and director, Cameron Chell, is a director, officer and an indirect shareholder of Business Instincts Group Inc. which owns 10% of the common stock of the Client and he is also a director, officer and indirect shareholder of Blockchain Merchant Group, Inc. which owns 2.5% of the common stock of the Client and we own 7.5% of the common stock of the Client.

 

 

FORM 10 INFORMATION

 

BUSINESS

 

Corporate Overview

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 20, 2010 under the name “Redstone Literary Agents, Inc.”. Following incorporation, we commenced the business of representing authors to publishers.

 

Upon the resignation of Mary Wolf as an officer on August 28, 2014, we ceased pursuing the business of representing authors to publishers and sought new business opportunities.

 

In July 2017, we decided to operate a new business of providing services for blockchain initial coin offerings and incorporated a Nevada subsidiary, AppCoin Innovations (USA) Inc. on August 1, 2017.

 

Effective August 17, 2017, we completed a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, AppCoin Innovations Inc., a Nevada corporation, which was incorporated solely to effect a change in our name. As a result, we have changed our name from “Redstone Literary Agents, Inc.” to “AppCoin Innovations Inc.”.

 

Our principal offices are located at 561 Indiana Court, Venice Beach, CA 90291. Our telephone number is (310) 658-4413.

 

Recent Developments

 

On October 18, 2017, we entered into a business services agreement with Business Instincts Group Inc. (“BIG”), whereby we retained the services of BIG to provide certain services, including creating, designing and project managing the launching of initial coin offerings for our clients, in consideration for a monthly fee of $35,000 and a signing bonus of $100,000 payable as follows: (i) $50,000 upon closing of up to $750,000 of equity financing and (ii) $50,000 payable on signing of the first client agreement. The agreement continues for a two year term which will automatically be renewed unless: (i) mutually agreed to by BIG and us, or (ii) written notice of non-renewal is provided by the non-renewing party to the other at least 90 days prior to the end of the term. The agreement may be terminated by either party, without cause, at any time upon the provision of 90 days written notice to the other party. Our chairman, Cameron Chell, is a director, officer and an indirect shareholder of BIG.

 

On November 20, 2017, we entered into a loan agreement with WENN Digital Inc. (“WENN”) whereby we provided to WENN a loan in the principal amount of $100,000, which was to be loaned to Ryde GmbH (“Ryde”) by WENN. The principal amount of the loan bears interest at an annual rate of 7% and matures on November 20, 2018. As partial consideration for us agreeing to provide the loan to WENN, WENN agreed to issue to us such number of shares such that we will own 7.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of WENN after the issuance of WENN’s common stock to founding shareholders of WENN.

 

On December 29, 2017, we entered into a business services agreement with WENN Pursuant to the business services agreement, we agreed to provide WENN certain initial coin offering (“ICO”) services, including (i) pre-ICO consultancy services such as business modelling and scoping and development and advisory services surrounding token models and token incentivization and cryptoeconomics creating networks; (ii) ICO consultancy services such as public relations and marketing plans (not including the assistance regarding the offer or sale of any tokens or coins); and (iii) post-ICO support (monthly services) such as community development and management and general support.

Description of Business

 

Overview

 

We provide a turnkey set of services for companies to develop and integrate blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies. We intend to spend between $500,000 and $1,000,000 on various expenses to assist companies which use blockchain technology with conducting their initial coin offerings (not including the assistance regarding the offer or sale of any tokens or coins). These expenses that we incur are risk capital and can only be recovered by us if the applicable initial coin offering successfully closes. We anticipate that we will enable our customers to focus on their core competencies while providing the necessary resources and expertise to execute a strategy that will enable companies to integrate new blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies and execute initial coin offerings. Our plan is to be partially compensated by these companies by receiving tokens or coins in the initial coin offerings.

 

Our services include strategic planning, project planning, structure, development and administration, strategic business development partnerships, business plan modelling, technology development support, whitepaper preparation, due diligence reporting, governance planning and management.

 

Blockchain Technology

 

Blockchain is a continuously growing list of records called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block typically contains a hash pointer as a link to a previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. By design, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification of the data. Functionally, a blockchain can serve as an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent manner. For use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for validating new blocks. Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks and a collusion of the network majority.

 

 

Blockchains are secure by design, as they are distributed computing systems. In addition, decentralization can be achieved with a blockchain. This makes blockchains potentially suitable for the recording of events, medical records and other records management activities, such as identity management, documenting provenance, digital asset registration and transaction processing.

 

Initial Coin Offerings and Cryptocurrency

 

Initial coin offerings are an important new finance structure that enables companies to finance their business plans or projects without issuing equity (and diluting ownership) but rather by facilitating investment by a community of users or supporters that may actually be participating in the project and creating the value. The value of a cryptocurrency is a function of market forces, including supply and demand. We intend to provide strategies to drive sustainable economic models of supply and demand including well defined use cases for the tokens.

 

Cryptocurrency is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange using cryptography to secure the transactions and to control the creation of additional units of the currency.

 

We may receive ICO fees from ICO proceeds, in a combination of cash and tokens or coins. We intend to hold cryptocurrencies on our balance sheet and to sell them from time to time via regulated trading exchanges. We are not involved in the issuance of cryptocurrencies or mining or other related technical cryptocurrency production. We are also not involved with the provision or delivery of the underlying blockchain technology platform.

 

Principal Services

 

We offer a turnkey set of services for companies to develop and integrate blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies with a view to conducting initial coin offerings. We anticipate that we will enable our customers to focus on their core competencies while providing the necessary resources and expertise to execute a strategy that will enable companies to integrate new blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies, execute initial coin offerings and develop strategic business partnerships. Our plan is to be partially compensated by these companies by receiving tokens or coins in the initial coin offerings.

Competition

 

We are in a novel business of providing services for companies to develop and integrate blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies with a view to conducting initial coin offerings. We compete with the following competitors:

 

●

The Argon Group

 

The Argon Group (“Argon”) is an investment bank with a focus on digital finance and cryptocurrency and token-based capital markets. Argon provides financial advisory, placement, and technology services to companies seeking to raise equity, debt, and non-dilutive capital. Argon develops technical placement solutions, including digital tokens powered by advanced smart contracts, which Argon operates through a digital asset placement platform called TokenHub.com.

 

●

CoinLaunch

 

CoinLaunch recently announced the first end-to-end initial coin offering platform that allows anyone to build, deploy and monetize compliant ICOs through a web-based service. The platform focuses on three groups of cryptocurrency users: ICO creators, funders and promoters. The company provides a Coin Creator that enables users to create their own Ethereum-based ICO. CoinLaunch’s integrated cryptocurrency funding system enables backers to fund various campaigns using a built-in crypto-payment gateway. It also includes an affiliate and referral system that tracks and manages all aspects of the promotion of ICO campaigns. The platform facilitates the payment of referrals using a CoinLaunch Token, which then can be used to purchase ICOs offered on the platform or redeemed for other cryptocurrencies. The platform includes an integrated compliance system that allows for any vetted ICOs to comply with various local regulations, including know-your-client and anti-money laundering regulations.

 

●

CoinList

 

CoinList uses screens and selects blockchain companies. In August 2017, CoinList facilitated the token sale for blockchain-based data storage network Filecoin. CoinList also offers as part of its service a white-labeled compliance infrastructure stack. Purpose-built for token sales, ComplyAPI provides companies with SEC Rule 506 investor accreditation and know-your-client and anti-money laundering compliance due diligence through a simple integration and API.

 

●

ConsenSys

 

ConsenSys is a venture production studio building decentralized applications and various developer and end-user tools for blockchain ecosystems, primarily focused on Ethereum. The ConsenSys “hub” coordinates, incubates, accelerates and spawns “spoke” ventures through development, resource sharing, acquisitions, investments and the formation of joint ventures. These spokes benefit from foundational components built by ConsenSys that enable new services and business models to be built on the blockchain. In addition to the development of internal projects and consulting work, ConsenSys is engaged in the identification, development and acquisition of talent and projects on an ongoing basis.

 

 

●

SaftLaunch

 

SaftLaunch.com offers a service for companies seeking to issue an ICO or raise funds through a SAFT agreement, including a proprietary know-your-client and anti-money laundering compliance solution that positions it to co-invest into early stage projects in the pre-ICO phase.

 

●

Science

 

Science is launching a bitcoin-related incubation program and claims to be the first ICO incubator to enter the market.

 

●

Token Funder

 

Token Funder has created a “smart token asset management platform” or STAMP to facilitate blockchain based securities being crowdfunded. STAMP intends to, among other things, provide token and coin management and governance services for issuers and, subject to any regulatory approvals and/or exemptive relief required, provide for certain transferability of tokens and coins to ensure that a particular token or coin can achieve the access or use function for which it has been principally created.

 

●

TokenMarket

 

TokenMarket is a full service ICO provider. Its service offerings include:

 

	○	ICO Launchpad, a service for organizing a “crowdsale” with a high quality blockchain industry network, expertise and tools with tradeable digital tokens;
	○	A token and cryptocurrency database to aid investment decisions with extensive insight whereby its clients can follow ICO calendar and individual assets to be alerted about market opportunities ahead of time, and
	○	Storage and management of a client’s digital assets in a TokenMarket wallet, which is secured with two-factor authentication.

 

Many of our current and potential competitors may have greater brand recognition, longer operating histories, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on product development, marketing and distribution. This advantage could enable our competitors to acquire larger market share and develop and offer more competitive products and services. Such competition could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to develop our business plan. In the face of competition, we may not be successful in sufficient market share to make our business profitable.

 

Intellectual Property and Technology

 

We do not own any intellectual property. We intend to aggressively assert our rights under trade secret, patents, trademark and copyright laws to protect our intellectual property, including product design, product research and concepts and recognized trademarks. These rights may be protected through the acquisition of patents and trademark registrations, the maintenance of trade secrets, the development of trade dress, and, where appropriate, litigation against those who are, in our opinion, infringing these rights.

 

We may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. In addition, while we are not aware that our services or proprietary rights infringe the proprietary rights of third parties, we may receive notices from third parties asserting that we have infringed their patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property rights. Any such claims could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, cause service stoppages or lead us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements rather than disputing the merits of such claims. An adverse outcome in litigation or similar proceedings could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require expenditure of significant resources to develop non-infringing technology, require disputed rights to be licensed from others, or require us to cease operating our business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

 

As we have just begun our new business, we have devoted no substantial efforts to research and development within the last two fiscal years.

 

Government Regulation

 

Current and future legislation and rulemaking and other regulatory developments, including interpretations released by a regulatory authority, may impact the manner in which bitcoins or other cryptocurrency is viewed or treated for classification and clearing purposes. In particular, bitcoins and other cryptocurrency may not be excluded from the definition of “security” by regulatory rulemaking or interpretation requiring registration of all transactions, unless an exemption is available, including transacting in bitcoin or cryptocurrency amongst owners, and require registration of trading platforms as “exchanges” such as Coinsquare. We cannot be certain as to how future regulatory developments will impact the treatment of bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies under the law. If we determine not to comply with such additional regulatory and registration requirements, we may seek to cease certain of our operations or be subjected to fines, penalties and other governmental action. Any such action may adversely affect an investment in us. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors.

 

We intend to comply with any applicable anti-money laundering or know your customer rules relating to tokens imposed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and Canadian securities regulators.

 

Employees

 

As at January 2, 2018, we have two executive officers, Bruce Elliott, who is our president, and Michael Blum, who is our chief financial officer, secretary, and treasurer, and no employees. Our management oversees all responsibilities in the areas of corporate administration, business development, and research. We also employ consultants on an as-needed-basis to provide specific expertise in areas of product design and development and other business functions including marketing and accounting. We intend to expand our current management to retain skilled directors, officers, and employees with experience relevant to our business focus.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the following factors, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods. The risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods.

 

General Cryptocurrency Risks

 

Cryptocurrency exchanges and other trading venues are relatively new and, in most cases, largely unregulated and may therefore may be subject to fraud and failures.

 

When cryptocurrency exchanges or other trading venues are involved in fraud or experience security failures or other operational issues, such events could result in a reduction in cryptocurrency prices or confidence and impact our success and have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and operations.

 

Cryptocurrency market prices depend, directly or indirectly, on the prices set on exchanges and other trading venues, which are new and, in most cases, largely unregulated as compared to established, regulated exchanges for securities, commodities or currencies. For example, during the past three years, a number of bitcoin exchanges have closed due to fraud, business failure or security breaches. In many of these instances, the customers of the closed exchanges were not compensated or made whole for partial or complete losses of their account balances. While smaller exchanges are less likely to have the infrastructure and capitalization that may provide larger exchanges with some stability, larger exchanges may be more likely to be appealing targets for hackers and “malware” (i.e., software used or programmed by attackers to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information or gain access to private computer systems) and may be more likely to be targets of regulatory enforcement action. We do not maintain any insurance to protect from such risks, and do not expect any insurance for customer accounts to be available (such as federal deposit insurance) at any time in the future, putting customer accounts at risk from such events. In the event we face fraud, security failures, operational issues or similar events such factors would have a material adverse effect on our ability of to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and operations.

 

 

Regulatory changes or actions may alter the nature of an investment in us or restrict the use of cryptocurrencies in a manner that adversely affects our business, prospects or operations.

 

As cryptocurrencies have grown in both popularity and market size, governments around the world have reacted differently to cryptocurrencies, with certain governments deeming them illegal while others have allowed their use and trade.

 

Governments may in the future curtail or outlaw the acquisition, use or redemption of cryptocurrencies. Ownership of, holding or trading in cryptocurrencies may then be considered illegal and subject to sanction. Governments may also take regulatory action that may increase the cost and/or subject cryptocurrency companies to additional regulation.

 

On July 25, 2017 the SEC released an investigative report which states that the United States would, in some circumstances, consider the offer and sale of blockchain tokens pursuant to an ICO subject to federal securities laws. Thereafter, China released statements and took similar actions. Although we do not participate in ICOs, our clients and customers may participate in ICOs and these actions may be a prelude to further action which chills widespread acceptance of blockchain and cryptocurrency adoption and have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations.

 

Governments may in the future take regulatory actions that prohibit or severely restrict the right to acquire, own, hold, sell, use or trade cryptocurrencies or to exchange cryptocurrencies for fiat currency. Similar actions by governments or regulatory bodies could result in restriction of the acquisition, ownership, holding, selling, use or trading in our securities. Such a restriction could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, raise new capital which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and harm investors in our securities.

 

On-going and future regulatory actions and regulatory change related to our business or cryptocurrencies, may impact our ability to continue to operate and such actions could affect our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations.

 

The development and acceptance of cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the issuance of and transactions in cryptocurrencies is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate.

 

The use of cryptocurrencies to, among other things, buy and sell goods and services and complete transactions, is part of a new and rapidly evolving industry that employs digital assets based upon a computer-generated mathematical and/or cryptographic protocol. The growth of this industry in general, and the use of cryptocurrencies in particular, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and the slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of developing protocols may occur and is unpredictable. The factors include, but are not limited to:

 

	●	Continued worldwide growth in the adoption and use of cryptocurrencies;
	●	Governmental and quasi-governmental regulation of cryptocurrencies and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of the network or similar cryptocurrency systems;
	●	Changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences;
	●	The maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the network;
	●	The availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services, including new means of using fiat currencies;
	●	General economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to digital assets; and
	●	Negative consumer sentiment and perception of bitcoin specifically and cryptocurrencies generally.

 

 

Such events would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors in our securities.

 

Banks and financial institutions may not provide banking services, or may cut off services, to businesses that provide cryptocurrency-related services or that accept cryptocurrencies as payment, including financial institutions of investors in our securities.

 

A number of companies that provide bitcoin and/or other cryptocurrency-related services have been unable to find banks or financial institutions that are willing to provide them with bank accounts and other services. Similarly, a number of companies and individuals or businesses associated with cryptocurrencies may have had and may continue to have their existing bank accounts closed or services discontinued with financial institutions. We also may be unable to obtain or maintain these services for our business. The difficulty that many businesses that provide bitcoin and/or other cryptocurrency-related services have and may continue to have in finding banks and financial institutions willing to provide them services may be decreasing the usefulness of cryptocurrencies as a payment system and harming public perception of cryptocurrencies and could decrease its usefulness and harm its public perception in the future. Similarly, the usefulness of cryptocurrencies as a payment system and the public perception of cryptocurrencies could be damaged if banks or financial institutions were to close the accounts of businesses providing bitcoin and/or other cryptocurrency-related services. This could occur as a result of compliance risk, cost, government regulation or public pressure. The risk applies to securities firms, clearance and settlement firms, national stock and commodities exchanges, the over the counter market and the Depository Trust Company, which, if any of such entities adopts or implements similar policies, rules or regulations, could result in the inability of our investors to open or maintain stock or commodities accounts, including the ability to deposit, maintain or trade our securities. Such factors would have a material adverse effect our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and harm investors.

 

The impact of geopolitical events on the supply and demand for cryptocurrencies is uncertain.

 

Crises may motivate large-scale purchases of cryptocurrencies which could increase the price of cryptocurrencies rapidly. This may increase the likelihood of a subsequent price decrease as crisis-driven purchasing behavior wanes, adversely affecting the value of our inventory. Such risks are similar to the risks of purchasing commodities in general uncertain times, such as the risk of purchasing, holding or selling gold.

 

As an alternative to gold or fiat currencies that are backed by central governments, cryptocurrencies, which are relatively new, are subject to supply and demand forces. How such supply and demand will be impacted by geopolitical events is uncertain but could be harmful to us and investors in our securities. Nevertheless, political or economic crises may motivate large-scale acquisitions or sales of cryptocurrencies either globally or locally. Such events would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account.

 

Acceptance and/or widespread use of cryptocurrency is uncertain.

 

Currently, there is a relatively small use of bitcoins and/or other cryptocurrencies in the retail and commercial marketplace for goods or services. In comparison there is relatively large use by speculators contributing to price volatility.

 

The relative lack of acceptance of cryptocurrencies in the retail and commercial marketplace limits the ability of end-users to use them to pay for goods and services. Such lack of acceptance or decline in acceptances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account.

 

 

Political or economic crises may motivate large-scale sales of Bitcoins and Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies, which could result in a reduction in value and adversely affect us.

 

As an alternative to fiat currencies that are backed by central governments, digital assets such as bitcoins and Ethereum, which are relatively new, are subject to supply and demand forces based upon the desirability of an alternative, decentralized means of buying and selling goods and services, and it is unclear how such supply and demand will be impacted by geopolitical events. Nevertheless, political or economic crises may motivate large-scale acquisitions or sales of bitcoins and Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies either globally or locally. Large-scale sales of bitcoins and Ethereum or other cryptocurrencies would result in a reduction in their value and could adversely affect us. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors.

 

It may be illegal now, or in the future, to acquire, own, hold, sell or use bitcoins, Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies, participate in the blockchain or utilize similar digital assets in one or more countries, the ruling of which would adversely affect us.

 

Although currently bitcoins, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies, the blockchain and digital assets generally are not regulated or are lightly regulated in most countries, including the United States, one or more countries such as China and Russia may take regulatory actions in the future that could severely restrict the right to acquire, own, hold, sell or use these digital assets or to exchange for fiat currency. Such restrictions may adversely affect us. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors.

 

If regulatory changes or interpretations require the regulation of bitcoins or other digital assets under the securities laws of the United States or elsewhere, including the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 or similar laws of other jurisdictions and interpretations by the SEC, CFTC, IRS, Department of Treasury or other agencies or authorities, we may be required to register and comply with such regulations, including at a state or local level. To the extent that we decide to continue operations, the required registrations and regulatory compliance steps may result in extraordinary expense or burdens to us. We may also decide to cease certain operations. Any disruption of our operations in response to the changed regulatory circumstances may be at a time that is disadvantageous to us.

 

Current and future legislation and SEC rulemaking and other regulatory developments, including interpretations released by a regulatory authority, may impact the manner in which bitcoins or other cryptocurrency is viewed or treated for classification and clearing purposes. In particular, bitcoins and other cryptocurrency may not be excluded from the definition of “security” by SEC rulemaking or interpretation requiring registration of all transactions, unless another exemption is available, including transacting in bitcoin or cryptocurrency amongst owners and require registration of trading platforms as “exchanges” such as Coinsquare. We cannot be certain as to how future regulatory developments will impact the treatment of bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies under the law. If we determine not to comply with such additional regulatory and registration requirements, we may seek to cease certain of our operations or be subjected to fines, penalties and other governmental action. Any such action may adversely affect an investment in us. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors.

 

Lack of liquid markets, and possible manipulation of blockchain/cryptocurrency based assets.

 

Digital assets that are represented and trade on a ledger-based platform may not necessarily benefit from viable trading markets. Stock exchanges have listing requirements and vet issuers, requiring them to be subjected to rigorous listing standards and rules and monitoring investors transacting on such platform for fraud and other improprieties. These conditions may not necessarily be replicated on a distributed ledger platform, depending on the platform’s controls and other policies. The more lax a distributed ledger platform is about vetting issuers of digital assets or users that transact on the platform, the higher the potential risk for fraud or the manipulation of digital assets. These factors may decrease liquidity or volume, or increase volatility of digital securities or other assets trading on a ledger-based system, which may adversely affect us. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors.

 

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have an evolving business model.

 

As digital assets and blockchain technologies become more widely available, we expect the services and products associated with them to evolve. As a result to stay current with the industry, our business model may need to evolve as well. From time to time, we may modify aspects of our business model relating to our product mix and service offerings. We cannot offer any assurance that these or any other modifications will be successful or will not result in harm to the business. We may not be able to manage growth effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth and negatively affect our operating results. In addition, we intend to spend between $500,000 and $1,000,000 on various expenses to assist companies which use blockchain technology with conducting their initial coin offerings (not including the assistance regarding the offer or sale of any tokens or coins). These expenses that we incur are risk capital and can only be recovered by us if the applicable initial coin offering successfully closes. Therefore, we risk losing substantial amounts of capital in the event any of our clients do not successfully close a proposed ICO. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors.

 

The loss or potential loss of our exclusion from regulation pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or any related state exemptions, could require us to restructure our operations.

 

The SEC heavily regulates the manner in which “investment companies,” “investment advisors,” and “broker-dealers” are permitted to conduct their business activities. We believe we will conduct our business in a manner that does not result in us being characterized as an investment company, an investment advisor or a broker-dealer, as we do not believe that we will engage in any of the activities that require registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or any similar provisions under state law. We intend to continue to conduct our business in such manner. If, however, we are deemed to be an investment company, an investment advisor, or a broker-dealer, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which would affect our business to a material degree. The loss or potential loss of our exclusion from regulation pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or any related state exemptions, could require us to restructure our operations, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we are determined to have engaged in activities that require any such registration, without obtaining such registration, we could be subject to civil and/or criminal liability, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Cryptocurrency inventory, including that maintained by or for us, may be exposed to cybersecurity threats and hacks.

 

As with any computer code generally, flaws in cryptocurrency codes may be exposed by malicious actors. Several errors and defects have been found previously, including those that disabled some functionality for users and exposed users’ information. Flaws in and exploitations of the source code allow malicious actors to take or create money have previously occurred. A hacking occurred in July 2017 and a hacker exploited a critical flaw to drain three large wallets that had a combined total of over $31 million worth of Ethereum. If left undetected, the hacker could have been able to steal an additional $150 million. Such events would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account.

 

 

Competing blockchain platforms and technologies.

 

The development and acceptance of competing blockchain platforms or technologies may cause consumers to use alternative distributed ledgers or an alternative to distributed ledgers altogether. This may adversely affect us and our exposure to various blockchain technologies. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors.

 

The cryptocurrency assets we hold may be subject to loss, theft or restriction on access.

 

There is a risk that some or all of the cryptocurrency assets we hold from time to time could be lost or stolen. Access to the cryptocurrency assets we hold from time to time could also be restricted by cybercrime (such as a denial of service attack) against a service at which we maintain a hosted online wallet. Any of these events may adversely affect our operations and, consequently, our investments and profitability. The loss or destruction of a private key required to access our digital wallets may be irreversible and we may be denied access for all time to our cryptocurrency holdings. Our loss of access to our private keys or our experience of a data loss relating to our digital wallets could adversely affect our investments and assets.

 

Cryptocurrencies are controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public and private keys relating to the local or online digital wallet in which they are held, which wallet’s public key or address is reflected in the network’s public blockchain. We will publish the public key relating to digital wallets in use when we verify the receipt of transfers and disseminate such information into the network, but we will need to safeguard the private keys relating to such digital wallets. To the extent such private keys are lost, destroyed or otherwise compromised, we will be unable to access the cryptocurrency assets we hold from time to time and such private keys will not be capable of being restored by any network. Any loss of private keys relating to digital wallets used to store the cryptocurrency assets we hold from time to time would have a material adverse effect our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account.

 

Incorrect or fraudulent coin transactions may be irreversible.

 

Cryptocurrency transactions are irrevocable and stolen or incorrectly transferred coins may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed or fraudulent coin transactions could adversely affect our investments and assets.

 

Coin transactions are not, from an administrative perspective, reversible without the consent and active participation of the recipient of the transaction. In theory, cryptocurrency transactions may be reversible with the control or consent of a majority of processing power on the network. Once a transaction has been verified and recorded in a block that is added to the blockchain, an incorrect transfer of a coin or a theft of coin generally will not be reversible and we may not be capable of seeking compensation for any such transfer or theft. It is possible that, through computer or human error, or through theft or criminal action, our coins could be transferred in incorrect amounts or to unauthorized third parties, or to uncontrolled accounts. Such events would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account.

 

Since there has been limited precedence set for financial accounting of bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets, it is unclear how we will be required to account for digital assets transactions in the future.

 

Since there has been limited precedence set for the financial accounting of digital assets, it is unclear how we will be required to account for digital asset transactions or assets. Furthermore, a change in regulatory or financial accounting standards could result in the necessity to restate our financial statements. Such a restatement could negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors.

 

The current state of capital markets, particularly for small companies, is expected to reduce our ability to obtain the financing necessary to continue our business. If we cannot raise the funds that we need to operate and expand our new business, we will go out of business and investors will lose their entire investment in us.

 

Like other smaller companies, we face difficulties in raising capital for our continued operations and to operate and expand our new business. We may not be able to raise money through the sale of our equity securities or through borrowing funds on terms we find acceptable.

 

We have had negative cash flows from operations and if we are not able to obtain further financing, our business operations may fail.

 

We had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $195,010 and a working capital deficit of $65,129 as of September 30, 2017. We anticipate that we will require additional financing while we operate and expand our new business. Further, we anticipate that we will not have sufficient capital to fund our ongoing operations for the next twelve months. We would likely secure any additional financing necessary through a private placement of our common stock through a debt financing. There can be no assurance that any financing will be available to us, or, even if it is, if it will be offered on terms and conditions acceptable to us. Our inability to obtain additional financing in a sufficient amount when needed and upon terms and conditions acceptable to us, could have a material adverse effect upon us. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing or future stockholders will result. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate the expansion of our new business.

 

Risks Associated with our Common Stock

 

Because our directors and officers control a large percentage of our voting stock, they have the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders.

 

Our directors and officers control approximately 30.8% of our voting stock. As a result, they have the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders, including the election of our directors, the acquisition of assets, and the issuance of securities. Because they control a significant portion of votes, it would be very difficult for investors to replace our management if the investors disagree with the way our business is being operated. Because the influence by our directors and officers could result in management making decisions that are in their best interest and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common stock.

 

Because we can issue additional shares of common stock, our stockholders may experience dilution in the future.

 

We are authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 11,600,000 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding as of January 2, 2018. Our board of directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock without consent of our stockholders. Consequently, stockholders may experience dilution in their ownership of our stock in the future.

 

There is currently no established public trading market for our common stock, which makes it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.

 

There is currently no established public trading market for our common stock. There is a limited public market for our common stock through our quotation on the OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTCQB is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated or have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects. Moreover, the OTCQB is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTCQB is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a national securities exchange like the NASDAQ or the NYSE. Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of our shares. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock in the future.

 

 

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

 

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors the board considers relevant. We may never pay any dividends. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

 

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock is restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

Our stock is a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined in Rule 15g-9) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

We had no revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Operating Expenses

 

We incurred general and administrative expenses of $73,112 and $12,376 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing an increase of $60,736 between the two periods. These expenses consisted primarily of consulting fees, professional fees, note interest and bank charges, filing and transfer fees. The increase in consulting fees between the two periods from $2,750 in 2016 to $56,500 in 2017 was due to the entering into of a consulting agreement with Business Instincts Group to provide strategic and project management services. Business Instincts Group is a related party as Cameron Chell is a common director of the companies. Professional fees increased from $5,409 in 2016 to $8,450 in 2017 and the increase was primarily due to an increase in legal services related to the evaluation of potential business opportunities in 2017. The increase in note interest and bank charges from $3,447 in 2016 to $6,100 in 2017 was due to the increase in notes payable in 2017 partially offset by a correction in the historical calculation. The increase in filing and transfer fees from $770 in 2016 to $2,062 in 2017 was due to the increase in the amount of transactions with the transfer agent.

 

We incurred general and administrative expenses of $123,695 and $33,756 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing an increase of $89,939 between the two periods. These expenses consisted primarily of consulting fees, professional fees, note interest and bank charges, filing and transfer fees. The increase in operating expenses between the two periods related to an increase in consulting fees from $8,200 in 2016 to $77,900 in 2017 due to the entering into of a consulting agreement with Business Instincts Group to provide strategic and project management services, an increase in note interest and bank charges from $10,036 in 2016 to $21,539 in 2017 due to the increase in loans payable that bear interest of 18% per annum partially offset by a correction in the historical calculation, and an increase in professional fees from $11,282 in 2016 to $20,234 in 2017 due to the evaluation of potential business opportunities in 2017. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in filing and transfer fees between the two periods from $4,238 in 2016 to $4,022 in 2017 primarily due to decreases in the amount of transactions with the transfer agent.

 

We incurred operating expenses of $88,196 and $55,488 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $32,708. These expenses consisted primarily of professional fees, interest, consulting fees and filing fees. The increase in operating expenses between the two periods related primarily to the increase in professional fees from $33,696 in 2015 to $58,626 in 2016, an increase in note interest and bank charges from $7,143 in 2015 to $15,513 in 2016 and an increase in consulting fees from $5,903 in 2015 to $9,000 in 2016, offset by a decrease in filing and transfer fees from $8,746 in 2015 to $5,058 in 2016. The increase in professional fees from $33,696 in 2015 to $58,625 in 2016 was primarily due to the fact that we were evaluating new business opportunities. The decrease in filing and transfer agent fees from $8,746 in 2015 to $5,058 in 2016 was due to a one time set up charge from the transfer agent in August 2015. The increase in note interest and bank charges from $7,143 in 2015 to $15,513 in 2016 was due to note interest fees accrued on the additional outstanding advance in August, 2015 for the full year in 2016, plus a $1,500 one-time note restructuring fee. The increase in consulting fees from $5,903 in 2015 to $9,000 in 2016 was due to the hiring of a new consultant.

 

 

Net Loss

 

We incurred net losses of $73,112 and $12,376 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing an increase of $60,736, primarily attributable to the factors discussed above under the heading “Operating Expenses”.

 

We incurred net losses of $123,695 and $33,756 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing an increase of $89,939, primarily attributable to the factors discussed above under the heading “Operating Expenses”.

 

We incurred net losses of $88,196 and $55,488 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, representing an increase of $32,708, primarily attributable to the factors discussed above under the heading “Operating Expenses”.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Working Capital

 

		As at September 30, 2017				As at December 31, 2016				As at December 31, 2015
Current Assets		$	195,011			$	56,050				13,870
Current Liabilities		$	260,140			$	49,013				4,150
Working capital (deficit)		$	(65,129	)		$	7,037				9,720

 

Current Assets

 

Current assets of $195,011 as at September 30, 2017 and $56,050 as at December 31, 2016 were comprised only of cash and cash equivalents. The increase in current assets as at September 30, 2017 was due to us receiving $250,000 in connection with the purchase of a convertible note.

Plan of Operations

 

We expect that we will require $1.5 million to $2.0 million, in addition to our current cash, to fund our operating expenditures for the next twelve months. Projected working capital requirements for the next twelve months are as follows:

 

Estimated Working Capital Expenditures During the Next Twelve Months

 

Operating expenditures
Operating expenses		$	1,000,000
General and administrative (including professional fees)		$	500,000
Total		$	1,500,000

 

Professional fees are expected to include fees related to complying with public reporting requirements, maintaining our quotation on the OTCQB, conducting capital raises and expenses in connection with our new business.

 

Cash Requirements

 

As we have no cash flow from operations, we will require additional cash resources, including from the sale of equity or debt securities, to meet our planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We estimate that our capital needs over the next 12 months will be $1.5 million to $2.0 million. We expect to require additional cash for general and administrative expenses and to evaluate new business opportunities. We expect to derive such cash through the sale of additional equity or debt securities or by obtaining a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in debt service obligations, could cause additional dilution to our stockholders, and could require us to agree to financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify our plans to source a new business opportunity. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Failure to raise additional funds could cause us to fail.

 

Going Concern

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established a source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern. We have incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $348,973 as at September 30, 2017 (December 31, 2016: $225,950). Our ability to operate as a going concern is dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable.

 

 

In its report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

PROPERTIES

 

We do not own any property. We have a virtual office and are currently using 561 Indiana Court, Venice Beach, CA 90291 as a business address. We believe that our facilities are suitable and adequate for our present needs.

Director Independence

 

We currently act with three directors consisting of Michael Blum, Cameron Chell and James P. Geiskopf. Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group, which does not impose any director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ rule 5605(a)(2), a director is not independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation or was, at any time during the past three years, employed by the corporation. Using this definition of independent director, we do not have any independent directors.

 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Market Information

 

There is currently no established public trading market for our common stock. There is a limited public market for our common stock. Our common stock is not traded on any exchange. Our common stock has been quoted on the OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group under the trading symbol “ICOX” since November 28, 2017.

Dividends

 

We have not declared any dividends since incorporation and do not anticipate that we will do so in the foreseeable future. Although there are no restrictions that limit the ability to pay dividends on our common stock, our intention is to retain future earnings, if any, for use in our operations and the expansion of our business.

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

 

1.	We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
2.	Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

As of December 31, 2016, we did adopt any equity compensation plans.

 

On October 15, 2017, our board of directors adopted and approved the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. The purpose of the plan is to (a) enable us and any of our affiliates to attract and retain the types of employees, consultants and directors who will contribute to our long range success; (b) provide incentives that align the interests of employees, consultants and directors with those of our stockholders; and (c) promote the success of our business. The plan enables us to grant awards of a maximum of 3,000,000 shares of our stock and awards that may be granted under the plan includes incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted awards and performance compensation awards.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

General

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share. We are not authorized to issue any shares of preferred stock. As of January 2, 2018, there were 11,600,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

 

Voting Rights

 

Our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of our common stock possess all voting power. A majority of our outstanding shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitute a quorum at a meeting of our stockholders. If a quorum exists, a majority vote of those shares present and voting at a duly organized meeting will suffice to defeat or enact any proposal unless the statutes of the State of Nevada, our articles of incorporation or bylaws require a greater-than-majority vote, in which event the higher vote will be required for the action to constitute the action of our company. Unless otherwise provided in our articles of incorporation, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting of our stockholders at which a quorum is present.

 

Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders may be taken without a meeting if one or more written consents, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by our stockholders holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof, unless a supermajority vote is required by our bylaws in which case a “supermajority” vote will be required.

 

Our board of directors has the power to amend our bylaws unless our stockholders, in adopting, amending or repealing a particular bylaw, provide expressly that our board of directors may not amend or repeal that bylaw or our bylaw either establishes, amends or deletes a supermajority stockholder quorum or voting requirement. As a result, our board of directors may be able to change the quorum and voting requirements at a meeting of our stockholders, subject to the applicable laws and our articles of incorporation and bylaws.

 

Other Rights

 

Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all net assets available for distribution to our stockholders after payment to creditors.

 

The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive the dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends. Our board of directors is not obligated to declare a dividend. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent factors. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

 

Our common stock is not convertible or redeemable and has no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. There are no conversions, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding our common stock.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

Some features of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which are further described below, may have the effect of deterring third parties from making takeover bids for control of our company or may be used to hinder or delay a takeover bid. This would decrease the chance that our stockholders would realize a premium over market price for their shares of common stock as a result of a takeover bid.

 

 

Acquisition of Controlling Interest

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes contain provisions governing the acquisition of a controlling interest of certain Nevada corporations. These provisions provide generally that any person or entity that acquires in excess of a specified percentage of the outstanding voting shares of a Nevada corporation may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless the holders of a majority of the voting power of the corporation, excluding shares as to which any of such acquiring person or entity, an officer or a director of the corporation, and an employee of the corporation exercises voting rights, elect to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. These provisions apply whenever a person or entity acquires shares that, but for the operation of these provisions, would bring voting power of such person or entity in the election of directors within any of the following three ranges:

 

	●	20% or more but less than 33 1/3%;
	●	33 1/3% or more but less than or equal to 50%; or
	●	more than 50%.

 

The stockholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from these provisions through adoption of a provision to that effect in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exempt our common stock from these provisions.

 

These provisions are applicable only to a Nevada corporation, which:

 

	●	has 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on the stock ledger of the corporation; and
	●	does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.

 

At this time, we do not have 100 stockholders of record who have addresses in Nevada appearing on our stock ledger nor do we conduct any business in Nevada, either directly or through an affiliated corporation. Therefore, we believe that these provisions do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply to us, these provisions may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of our company, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our stockholders.

 

Combination with Interested Stockholder

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes contain provisions governing the combination of any Nevada corporation that has 200 or more stockholders of record with an interested stockholder. As of January 2, 2017, we had approximately 57 stockholders of record. Therefore, we believe that these provisions do not apply to us and will not until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply to us, these provisions may also have effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change in control of our company.

 

A corporation affected by these provisions may not engage in a combination within three years after the interested stockholder acquires his, her or its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. Generally, if approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the three-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be received per share by disinterested stockholders is at least equal to the highest of:

 

	●	the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or within three years immediately before, or in, the transaction in which he, she or it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher;
	●	the market value per share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the person became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; or
	●	if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if any.

 

 

Generally, these provisions define an interested stockholder as a person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of a corporation. Generally, these provisions define combination to include any merger or consolidation with an interested stockholder, or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an interested stockholder of assets of the corporation having:

 

	●	an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation;
	●	an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or
	●	representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.

 

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

There are no provisions in our articles of incorporation or our bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our company and that would operate only with respect to an extraordinary corporate transaction involving our company or any of our subsidiaries, such as merger, reorganization, tender offer, sale or transfer of substantially all of its assets, or liquidation.

 

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that:

 

	●	a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful;
	●	a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper; and
	●	to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense.

 

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that we may make any discretionary indemnification only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:

 

	●	by our stockholders;
	●	by our board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
	●	if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion;
	●	if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
	●	by court order.

 

Our bylaws provide for the mandatory indemnification of any individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of our company against liability incurred in the proceeding, all pursuant to and consistent with the provisions of NRS 78.751, as amended from time to time. Our bylaws provide that the indemnification permitted by our bylaws is intended to be to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada, and any amendments thereto. Our bylaws provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by us as they are incurred and in advance of the final deposition of the action, suit or proceeding, but only after receipt by us of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director on terms set by our board of directors, to repay the expenses advanced if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by us.

 

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

On October 28, 2015, Cutler & Co., LLC resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm as it was merging its SEC auditing practice with Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, PC of Salt Lake City, Utah. On October 28, 2015, we engaged Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, PC, as our new independent registered public accounting firm. The change of our independent registered public accounting firm from Cutler & Co., LLC to Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, PC was approved by our board of directors.

During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and in the subsequent interim period through the date of resignation, there were no disagreements, resolved or not, with Cutler & Co., LLC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Cutler & Co., LLC, would have caused Cutler & Co., LLC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.

 

During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and in the subsequent interim period through the date of resignation, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and in the subsequent interim period through the date of appointment, we have not consulted with Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, PC regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, nor has Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, PC provided to us a written report or oral advice that Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, PC concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue. In addition, during such periods, we have not consulted with Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, PC regarding any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
