Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this Current Report on Form 10-K may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described herein and those risks discussed from time to time in this report, including the risks described under “Risk Factors” in other documents which we may file with the SEC. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to:

●	Our ability to raise funds for general corporate purposes and operations;

●	The commercial feasibility and success of our technology; and

●	Our ability to recruit qualified management and technical personnel

Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

The terms the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the combined enterprises of Genesis Financial, Inc. (“Genesis Financial”), Epoint Payment Corp. (“Epoint”) , Fintech Holdings, LLC and Fintech Investments, Inc. after giving effect to the Exchange Agreement and the related transactions described below, except with respect to information for periods before the consummation of the Exchange Agreement which refer expressly to Epoint or Genesis Financial, as specifically indicated.

Reverse Merger with EPOINT Payment Corp.

On February 15, 2018, Genesis Financial and Epoint completed the transactions contemplated by the previously disclosed Capital Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) entered into as of September 8, 2017, as subsequently amended. Under the Exchange Agreement, Genesis acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Epoint, following which Epoint became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genesis. The transaction was structured as a tax-free reorganization and exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Genesis issued to Epoint’s shareholders an aggregate of 8,231,536 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of their capital holdings in Epoint. At the closing, Genesis also issued to Epoint’s shareholders warrants to purchase up to an additional 845,000 shares of common stock in exchange for an equal number of Epoint common stock warrants. The warrants are exercisable through February 12, 2028 at a per share exercise price of $3.00.

On February 12, 2018, Epoint issued warrants to purchase 1,970,250 shares of common stock to certain partners, associates, and designees of Whitestone Investment Network, Inc., a mergers and acquisition advisory group which was instrumental in introducing the management of Epoint to Genesis, and in structuring the Exchange Agreement. At the closing of the Exchange Agreement on February 15, 2018, Genesis also issued to these entities warrants to purchase up to 1,970,250 shares of its common stock in exchange for an equal number of Epoint common stock warrants. The warrants are exercisable through February 12, 2023 at a per share exercise price of $3.00.

At the closing of the Exchange Agreement on February 15, 2018, noteholders of $250,000 in principal amount of convertible loans payable (described in Note 5) voluntarily elected to convert their loans into 100,000 shares of Genesis common stock at a conversion rate of $2.50 per share.

Prior to the closing, Genesis was engaged in the business of buying and selling seller financed real estate loans and originating commercial real estate loans and providing start-up funding (the “Prior Business”). In connection with the closings and as mandated by the terms of the Exchange Agreement, Genesis and the Coghlan Family Corporation (the “Coghlan Family Corporation”), an entity controlled by John R. Coghlan, one of the directors and the holder of the majority of the outstanding debt of Genesis prior to the closing, entered into an agreement with Genesis pursuant to which the Coghlan Family Corporation agreed, at a mutually agreeable date after the closings, to assume and otherwise discharge all of Genesis’ outstanding debt, except for a loan of $100,000 payable to Coghlan Family Corporation (the “CFC Loan”), in consideration of the transfer to it by Genesis of the assets related to the Prior Business (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”). The CFC Loan bears interest at an annual rate of 6% and the maturity date was extended to May 15, 2019. Upon extension of the note in May 2018, Genesis issued to Coghlan Family Corporation 65,000 shares of Common Stock.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification section 805, “Business Combinations”, Genesis has accounted for the Exchange Agreement transaction as a reverse business combination using the acquisition method. This determination is based on Epoint shareholders obtaining voting control as well as management and Board control of the combined entity. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in these consolidated financial statements are those of Epoint and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Epoint, and the assets and liabilities of Genesis at the merger date were recorded at their fair values.

For accounting purposes, Genesis is deemed to have issued 879,765 common shares to the legacy shareholders of Genesis. Using an estimated fair value of common stock on February 15, 2018 of $2.00 per share, the purchase price of the 879,765 shares held by the legacy shareholders of Genesis was approximately $1,759,500. The difference between the fair value of these shares and the recorded fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Genesis totaling $1,835,684 was allocated to Goodwill. The preliminary fair value estimates for the consideration paid and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for our acquisition is based on preliminary calculations and valuations and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of those preliminary estimates that were not yet finalized related to valuation of goodwill and fair value of common stock.

Acquisition of Fintech – Immediately following the closing of the Exchange Agreement, on February 15, 2018, Genesis and Fintech Holdings, LLC (“Fintech LLC”), an Oregon limited liability company, signed and closed a Membership Interest Exchange Agreement between Genesis and Fintech LLC (the “Fintech Exchange Agreement”; together with the Exchange Agreement, the “Exchange Agreements”) pursuant to which Genesis issued to the members of Fintech LLC an aggregate of 26,435,604 shares of Common Stock. Fintech Investments Inc., the wholly-owned subsidiary of Fintech LLC (“Fintech Investments”) and a company formerly owned and operated by Gary Larkin, the former Executive Co-Chairman of Genesis, holds the intellectual property licenses of Epoint’s proprietary platform technologies. Given that the entities were under common control, all of the transactions performed by Fintech Investments were done at the direction of Epoint, and substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets, management determined that the assets acquired do not represent a business. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Fintech LLC and Fintech Investments have been recorded at their historical cost basis at the merger date, and are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Henceforth, all references to the “Company” shall mean and include Genesis Financial., Inc. and its subsidiaries, following the closing of the Exchange Agreements.

Overview of the Business of the Company

Genesis Financial, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Epoint Payment Corp., is engaged in providing a range of diverse alternate financial products designed for cost-efficient delivery via a smart phone or other mobile device. Epoint intends to initiate financial services with an integrated “Mobile First” enabled program targeting underbanked and unbanked consumers, initially in North America, which will include micro credit, mobile phone device financing programs, money transfers, prepaid debit cards, bill payments, mobile top up, check processing, insurance and travel.

We intend to leverage our relationships and agreements with key technology and media participants, together with appropriate financial institutions and distribution partners, to offer target customers a wide range of price leading and more convenient local and international financial services, including money transfer, bill payment, mobile top up, Point of Sale (POS) payments, instant micro loans, check processing, insurance and travel services, all of which are to be delivered via an advanced proprietary platform technology.

We plan to initiate our service offering with products designed to appeal to key underbanked consumer market segments including ex-patriate Spanish speaking consumers in the United States.

The Epoint value proposition has been achieved through strong collaboration with leading players from within the existing payment and mobile telephony industries which leverages the existing infrastructure in a manner not previously achieved, to create cost efficiencies and expanded functionality designed specifically to cater to the Epoint customers.

Prior to the closing, Genesis was engaged in the business of buying and selling seller financed real estate loans and originating commercial real estate loans and providing start-up funding. Following the closing of the reverse acquisition between Genesis Financial, Inc. and Epoint Payment Corp., pursuant to which Epoint became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genesis, these operations have been discontinued.

Industry Background

In addition to those consumers who have traditionally fallen into the under-banked and unbanked category, there is an emerging segment of consumers, including millennials, who are drawn to less formal banking preferring to manage their finances through prepaid debit cards and/or more recently reloadable mobile wallets. As merchants have moved to replace legacy credit/debit card processing terminals with more secure Micro Chip (EMV Chip), Near Field Communication (NFC) and Biometric capable devices we have seen emergence of more mobile device payment services (i.e. Apple Pay, Bank of America mobile wallet programs). We expect a substantial growth in mobile wallet managed purchases leading to reductions and or possible elimination of the traditional physical card over the coming years.

According to the Nielsen’s fifth report on the Latino consumer in the annual Diverse Intelligence Series, Hispanic power and influence is surging: 50% of U.S. population growth from 2010 to 2015 has come from Hispanics, and the U.S. Census expects the U.S. Latino population to more than double within the next two generations. Almost 57 million strong, Hispanics represent almost 18% of the U.S. population, and they’re expected to continue showing growth, reaching 24% of the population by 2040. To put this in perspective, the report notes, “if U.S. Hispanics were a standalone country, their market buying power would be one of the top twenty economies in the world.” Based on these projections the unbanked Hispanic consumer controls annual spending of over $300 billion.

We believe a unique window of opportunity exists to establish a “Lifestyle Brand” for the under-banked consumer, initially with the Hispanic market segment in the U.S. Existing financial services providers (e.g., Amex, Visa, MasterCard, Capital One, Discover, MoneyGram, Western Union and almost all US Banks) are not generally regarded as positive lifestyle brands to the Hispanic consumer.

Epoint leverages several key distinctions:

●	Our target customer already uses prepaid cards and alternate financial services, just not typically through a single channel or brand; and

●	Our target customer is highly mobile connected and relies heavily on their mobile phone to maintain contact with their loved ones.

A substantial segment of our target consumer base relies heavily on remittances from the Hispanic population in the United States to Spanish-speaking Latin American countries. A remittance is a transfer of money by a foreign worker to an individual in his or her home country. According to a World Bank report released October 3, 2017 remittances to Latin America and the Caribbean in 2017 were expected have risen by 6.9 percent to $79 billion. The World Bank also predicts that remittances to the region will likely continue to grow, to approximately $82 billion in 2018.

The Epoint Solution

The Epoint solutions technology ecosystem incorporates a range of discrete and proprietary platforms interfaced with industry leading third parties which deliver either core network, gateway payment or third-party product solutions. The key elements of our proprietary solutions include the following:

Epoint eWallet Platform Technology

Epoint has developed a proprietary platform for the delivery of mobile App enabled financial solutions. This secure, regulatory compliant and fully scalable platform has been developed and is supported by a permanent IT staff of experienced developers. Our team possesses substantial domain expertise within the banking, payments and remittance segments of the global financial services industry.

The eWallet platform meets all existing regulatory requirements for Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance. In addition to PCI compliance, Epoint has integrated advanced data security protocols to further protect its clients and end-users from financial and personal information theft and fraud.

Our eWallet mobile solutions are designed to fulfil the regulatory requirements of the financial service industry including that of international remittance which must comply with stringent OFAC, FINCIN and Patriot Act requirements.

The Epoint Micro Credit or MLOC capability and Program Platform (the “MLOC Platform”) was sub-licensed to Epoint by Fintech Investments. The unique MLOC Platform has been designed to support a variety of market applications dependent upon the specific channel partner’s requirements. This flexibility enables the optimum reach into developing markets with minimal development or ramp-up time.

Epoint has been able to craft a unique, integrated suite of financial services products that can be offered to end consumers as an “IN-NETWORK” package. These initial integrated service offerings will include:

●	A secure debit card issued by participating regulated banks and differentiated by a range of bundled financial services, that provides the convenience of retail and online purchasing within the U.S. and Latin American markets.

●	Fast and cost efficient international Money Transfer at a consumer price point significantly less than currently available options.

●	In-market and cross-border bill payment solutions (Pay by phone, mobile or Internet for less than half of current market cost).

●	Domestic & cross-border Remote mobile top up (conveniently reload prepaid mobile minutes anywhere anytime)

●	A complete mobile financial services solution for the under-banked. Easy download and complete remote financial services transaction management for everyone

●	Cash in/cash out services at thousands of convenient retail locations

●	Remote check cashing via mobile phone (No more standing in lines and paying high fees to cash checks)

●	Domestic and cross border rewards and loyalty programs

●	Emergency credit facilities.

Product Offerings

Epoint will offer a comprehensive and fully integrated set of cost efficient mobile enabled financial services targeted to the under-banked and unbanked consumer, including:

●	Debit Cards & eWallets: Delivering a combination of both traditional general purpose reloadable debit cards and network integrated mobile phone wallets, will enable the Epoint customer to take full advantage of their purchasing power at all participating retailers, ATMs and online merchants.

●	Money Transfer: Low cost and ultra-convenient way for consumers to send money anywhere anytime using the convenient fully compliant mobile remittance application. Offering lower cost money transfer with the convenience of mobile payment saves our customers many lost hours of time spent in lines at traditional retail remittance locations.

●	Bill Payment: Epoint mobile enabled bill payment services will provide consumers with a convenient and cost-efficient way to pay recurring and one-off household bills. Instead of standing in lines at retail counters to purchase money order for rent or utility payments, Epoint empowered consumers can take care of their monthly household utility and recurring bills utilizing their mobile communication devices.

●	Check Cashing: Using a convenient online mobile remote check capture will allow our consumers to save both time and money converting payroll checks into cash or instant purchasing power.

●	Mobile Top Up: The unbanked and under-banked consumer is predominately a prepaid mobile services customer, because achieving monthly account status is almost impossible without established credit and banked history. Epoint enables pay as you go customers to buy competitively priced wireless plans directly from their mobile phone, thereby reducing both cost and time.

●	Loyalty & Rewards: Well-banked customers have come to expect competitive and valuable rewards and loyalty programs from their credit and debit card providers. These programs have matured over the last ten years and resulted in movement from one network card to another based solely on loyalty (i.e. American Express Costco Rewards, Airline mileage credit card programs etc.). The unbanked and under-banked customers have not been able to participate in these increasingly valuable consumer marketing activities. Through an Epoint enabled Loyalty & Rewards Plan, including cross-border loyalty/rewards programs, our future customers would be able to earn valuable benefits, discounts and preferred pricing based upon their purchase history.

●	Insurance Services: Auto, home, death and disability insurance products are desirable and sought-after products in the under-banked communities. Epoint intends to present products which can be purchased through the Epoint Consumer Portal and paid for online with the Epoint debit card.

●	Credit Services: Today’s unbanked and under-banked consumer typically looks to either a Pay Day lender or a Pawn Shop as a source for short-term credit, with medium and long-term credit options completely out of reach. Epoint intends to introduce a range of affordable credit options including:

	○	Payroll based credit programs: These will be made available in the U.S following pending regulation for the re-introduction of products of this nature.

	○	Credit Card Services: As a secondary phase expansion, Epoint intends to introduce a Credit Card for the sub-prime consumer. This is a strong market opportunity with many able partners ready to support a well-branded move into this market segment.

	○	Cross Border Credit: Current credit regulation and policy in the U.S. excludes the sub-prime consumer. We plan to expand into Mexico and offer the Mexican consumer a small dollar value credit solution, or a micro loan, which will be linked to a recurring Mexico bound remittance from a U.S. based Epoint cardholder.

Competitive Advantages of the Epoint Solution

We believe that Epoint has a disruptive competitive advantage which will be rooted in our unique and exclusive coupling of established payment networks and electronically automated processes which cannot easily, if at all, be replicated by existing market providers.

Existing financial services providers including banks, money transfer agents and alternate financial services bureaus have created expensive retail infrastructures to support their required physical interaction with a customer. These groups together with traditional debit/credit card networks including Visa, MasterCard and Discover are further hampered by embedded economic distribution models that were developed decades ago to protect once essential individual channel partners, which Epoint will efficiently circumvents with its streamlined processes. In the following bullet points we have briefly described the competitive infrastructure and compared it to the Epoint solution:

●	Debit/Credit Card Financial Services: The card networks have focused solely upon providing a backbone to enable the use of a card at the Point of Sales (“POS”). These transactions generate fees and interchange that create the vast majority of network revenues. These Network competitors have relied upon their pervasiveness within the banking industry to retain customers rather than expand their financial services offerings to assist the unbanked or under-banked by providing valuable network delivered and cost effective ancillary financial services. Their origins, as previously bank owned entities, have led to their deferral of all ancillary services to their bank partners.

●	International Money Transfer/Remittance: The long-term leaders in the enormous remittance market including Western Union, MoneyGram and Travelex together with newcomers such as XOOM, rely heavily upon a physical transaction capture and/or distribution networks.

	○	This expensive and cumbersome retail presence has layered in historical costs that have continued to keep remittance charges higher than necessary, often exceeding 10% of the funds being sent, and rarely less than $4.99 per transaction. The Epoint “In-Network” remittance program leverages our network partner relationships with leading industry participant such as FIS for their reach throughout the U.S. and Latin America.

	○	Epoint is able to utilize the low-cost cross-border Mexico debit network to profitably send money instantly and at unprecedented ultra-low costs that cannot be easily matched by any of the traditional remittance competition or newcomer Internet service providers.

	○	Even the largest of US banks (Wells Fargo) which recently announced it would be introducing a new remittance service to its existing customers, projects a retail price of over $7 per transaction.

	○	Cost of pre-existing infrastructure — inability to easily gain equivalent relationships with core financial network operators in the U.S and Mexico, together with existing high cost of established distribution structures are all ongoing impediments for our competitors within the remittance product segment.

●

Cross Border Bill Payment & Mobile Top-Up: We believe the unmatched resources of Epoint, FIS and its partners within Mexico will provide the most efficient and cost effective cross-border bill payment and mobile money top-up between US and Mexico, ensuring we maintain both the “best of breed” customer solution and the lowest possible market price.

Significant Agreements and Arrangements

The provision of the Epoint solution requires the collaboration of various market participants with whom Epoint currently has agreements and others with whom it is in discussion with relating to various collaboration efforts. Below is a summary of these agreements and arrangements.

●	Epoint has a long-term Network operational services agreement with FIS, the world’s largest payment processing group. This agreement provides Epoint with turnkey acceptance of Epoint issued debit cards at over 2.0 million US retail locations and more than 450,000 ATMs. In addition, this network support enables our Bank and Program management partners to create mobile wallet and other virtual accounts.

●	Epoint has a master services agreement with FIS’s PayNet Group for the provision of all U.S. outbound remittance services. Under this agreement FIS will offer Epoint access at most favorable rates to all FIS global remittance distribution as well as its secure and compliant remittance transaction-processing services.

●	A strategic teaming agreement with AMDOCS for Epoint to provide financial services to AMDOCS key customers. AMDOCS, a leader in provision of essential services to the world’s largest mobile carriers including AT&T/Crickett, Tracfone, Sprint, Airtel, Vodafone, America Movil, and Telefonica.

●	Epoint has secured an agreement with StreetCred Capital, LLC, (StreetCred), a prominent provider of lead generation for finance within the mobile telephony industry. Under this agreement Epoint intends to develop and deliver a rent-to-own (“RTO”) mobile phone device financing program for certain StreetCred mobile carrier clients in the U.S. and Mexico.

●	Epoint is working to enter into several agreements with US and Central American distribution and support partners to secure direct distribution rights for its diverse mobile financial services suite of products, of which no guarantee can be provided as to ultimate success.

Market Penetration Strategy

Exploiting the Existing Distribution Channels

We intend to partner with leading prepaid issuing banks and their key program manager to position our financial products and our card /mobile wallet account services to the under-banked consumer. Epoint further plans to exploit strategic partnerships with prominent industry distribution channel partners including AMDOCS, StreetCred, leading carriers within the mobile segment, prominent program managers within the prepaid debit card segment, and others. We believe that the unique relationships Epoint has forged with FIS and its nationally operated payment network NYCE, will allow Epoint to in distribution within the U.S. market.

Card and Mobile Wallets

We intend to establish partnership agreements with both traditional debit card and emerging mobile wallet programs. Through these partnerships, our customers will be able to choose either traditional debit cards or where applicable their mobile wallet to efficiently complete purchase transactions. Well-established brand marketers generally manage these payment programs for sponsoring banks. We intend to enter into agreements with a number of major mobile carriers both directly and as part of the AMDOCS Teaming agreement. In addition, we are finalizing a regional Distribution and Services support agreement covering Central America with a leading credit services group based in Mexico.

Financial Institution Program Sponsors

We are in the process of finalizing agreements with several banks to support Epoint programs for initial launch within the U.S.

In addition, we intend to form additional partnerships with other prepaid sponsor banks which also have strong reach into the pre-paid debit card market.

Community banks and Credit Unions within the U.S. are struggling to capture and retain customers. The increased regulatory burdens imposed upon banks for basic consumer financial services including prepaid debit card issuance, remittance, bill payment and other daily financial services have exceeded the revenue potential of the programs. While the largest of the national banks can afford to support the internal compliance and operational overheads necessary to satisfy their regulators, smaller regional financial institutions have been crowded out losing any competitive edge.

The initial national acceptance of the Epoint card at all PIN Debit retail locations and ATMs provides our end user customers with the necessary coverage to conduct all daily purchase and cash back transactions.

Our Revenue Model

Epoint intends to deploy a channel partner lead “Business to Business to Consumer” (B2B2C) marketing distribution strategy designed to enable Epoint to reach its intended target customer base. This strategy has the distinct advantage of capturing consumers in large groups often with a common known socio-economic or ethnic make-up which allows for more precise message targeting for higher conversion rates.

While it is subject to change as our business develops, Epoint has devised a structured pricing model that provides shared revenue with the channel partners based on the conversion and revenue generated directly from their consumers. Each of Epoint’s financial services has a distinct economic yield and channel partners are able to adjust end-user costs basis to assist in driving higher aggregate program yields based on the unique characteristics of their own customers.

All the pricing and revenue share elements are configurable within the advanced Epoint platform and program results are published in real-time through the secure reporting portal so that our partners can track inter-daily program usage and performance.

Competition

The payment and financial services industries are highly competitive, and our continued growth depends on our ability to compete effectively. Although we do not face direct competition from any competitor in exactly the same combined lines of business, we face competition from a variety of financial and non-financial business groups. These competitors include retail banks, non-traditional payment service providers, such as retailers and mobile network operators, traditional kiosk and terminal operators and electronic payment system operators, as well as other companies that provide various forms of payment services, including electronic payment and payment processing services. Competitors in our industry seek to differentiate themselves by features and functionalities such as speed, convenience, network size, accessibility, hours of operation, reliability and price. A significant number of our competitors have greater financial, technological and marketing resources than we have, operate robust networks and are highly regarded by consumers.

We expect to face varied competition across our anticipated full product service offerings including:

Overview of the Business of the Company

For most people, having a bank account is as natural as breathing. But according to the 2016 FDIC National Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked Households, 15.6 million adults are completely unbanked and 27% of U.S. households, or approximately 68 million consumers, are underbanked, which means they have no credit history or only nonbank credit. These unbanked and underbanked consumers tend to rely solely upon alternate financial services or in many instances are forced supplement their bank relationship with alternative financial services. In both categories, consumers often turn to non-bank financial products that many consumer advocates describe as predatory at worst and insufficient at best. In addition to those consumers who have traditionally fallen into the under-banked and unbanked category, there is an emerging segment of consumers, including millennials, who are drawn to less formal banking preferring to manage their finances through prepaid debit cards and/or more recently reloadable mobile wallets.

We plan to initiate our service offering with products designed to appeal to key underbanked consumer market segments including ex-patriate Spanish speaking consumers in the United States.

Prior to the closing, Genesis was engaged in the business of buying and selling seller financed real estate loans and originating commercial real estate loans and providing start-up funding. Following the closing of the reverse acquisition between Genesis Financial, Inc. and Epoint Payment Corp., pursuant to which Epoint became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genesis, these operations have been discontinued.

Reverse Merger

On February 15, 2018, Genesis Financial and Epoint completed the transactions contemplated under the Exchange Agreement where Genesis acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Epoint, following which Epoint became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genesis. Immediately following the closing of the Exchange Agreement, on February 15, 2018, Genesis and Fintech Holdings, LLC (“Fintech LLC”), an Oregon limited liability company, signed and closed a Membership Interest Exchange Agreement between Genesis and Fintech LLC (the “Fintech Exchange Agreement”).

Following the closings, each of Epoint and Fintech LLC became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2017

Revenues

The Company had revenues of $72,732 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and no revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Expenses

The Company recorded a $2.2 million charge for impairment of capitalized technology and goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2018 for the carrying values of the assets that exceeded the fair values.

Professional services expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased to $2.0 million from $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase is primarily attributable to increased legal, accounting and consulting expenses related to the Exchange Agreement closing, Fintech Exchange Agreement closing and the preparation of the SmartPay MIPA, and included $1.1 million of stock-based compensation expense calculated by the Black-Scholes pricing model relating to the issuance of options to purchase 1,900,000 shares of common stock to Genesis directors and officers, and warrants to purchase 1,970,250 shares of common stock to certain partners, associates, and designees of Whitestone Investment Network, Inc., a mergers and acquisition advisory group which was instrumental in introducing the management of Epoint to Genesis, and in structuring the Exchange Agreement.

Compensation, payroll taxes and benefits expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 increased to $0.4 million from $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase is primarily attributable to the headcount additions after the closing of the Exchange Agreement and the Fintech Exchange Agreement, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and an Epoint Project Manager, offset by headcount and salary reductions in the fourth quarter of 2018. Due to cash flow deficiencies from the termination of the SmartPay MIPA, the Company was forced to significantly curtail its operations in the fourth quarter of 2018. This included reaching separation agreements with its CEO, CFO and President/COO and cutting back third party consultants work on the Epoint eWallet and MLOC technology platforms to focus primarily on servicing existing customer contracts.

Technologies and telecom expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 decreased to $0.1 million from $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased platform support services in the fourth quarter of 2018, where third party consultants perform routine maintenance and testing of the Epoint eWallet and MLOC platforms.

A loss of $0.2 million of deposits on the planned acquisition of SmartPay Leasing, LLC was taken in the year ended December 31, 2018, when the acquisition agreement was terminated on July 15, 2018.

In a prior year, Fintech entered into a license agreement with 3rd Rock to acquire global license rights to certain intellectual property licensed to 3rd Rock by Cash America Holdings, Inc. and Enova Financial, LLC, for the exploitation of a micro-credit program. Under this agreement, Fintech committed to pay to 3rd Rock a gross sum of $500,000 periodically through September 2018 and made scheduled payments to 3rd Rock in the amount of $75,000. The intellectual property is included in Technology and equipment. The payable of $425,000 was canceled on December 31, 2018 in a settlement agreement with 3rd Rock, and is included in Gain on extinguishment of accrued expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

Interest expense is higher due to the increase in the principal balance of notes payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Year Ended December 31, 2018

The Company does not have cash or liquidity to pay down maturing debt and maintain operations. Our primary capital requirements are for cash used in operating activities. Funds for such purposes have historically been generated from short-term credit in the form of extended payment terms from suppliers, convertible debt and equity financings.

Historically, we have funded our cash and liquidity needs through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities. We incurred a net loss of $5.6 million and have an accumulated deficit of $63.3 million as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. To date, we have depended on raising capital from debt and equity financings to meet our needs for cash flow used in operating activities. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we raised $0.9 million from financing activities to meet cash flow used in operating activities. This situation creates uncertainties relating to our ability to execute our business plan, finance operations, and indicates substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date these financial statements were issued.

At December 31, 2018, we had $9,421 of cash on hand with a negative working capital of $2.4 million. Our ability to meet ongoing operating cash needs is dependent on raising additional working capital on an immediate basis and ultimately generating positive cash flow, primarily through generating revenue and controlling expenses. During the first quarter of 2018, we began entering into an eWallet transaction processing services agreements. The revenue pertaining to those service agreements was initially deferred, until we began to recognize the revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 as control of these services were transferred to the customer.

We need to raise additional funds on an immediate basis in order to be able to satisfy our cash requirements, pay down maturing debt and maintain operations. At December 31, 2018, debt obligations totaling approximately $2.2 million matured. We currently do not have sufficient funds to repay those debt obligations and must secure additional equity or debt capital in order to repay those obligations or obtain additional extensions of maturity, of which no assurance can be provided that we can obtain the needed funding or maturity extension on commercially reasonable terms or at all. We have been actively seeking additional capital. At the present time, we have no commitments for financing and no assurance can be given that we will be able to raise the needed capital on commercially acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, our ability to or support our business and to respond to business challenges will be significantly limited and we may need to further curtail or cease operations.

Our cash flow related information for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2018			2017
Net cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	(1,341,335	)	$	(828,177	)
Investing activities		(279,950	)		(567	)
Financing activities		874,191			1,330,500

Operating Activities

In the year ended December 31, 2018, the net loss plus non-cash adjustments was approximately $1.2 million compared to $0.9 million during the same period in 2017. The increase in cash usage can be primarily attributed to the larger net loss incurred in 2018 as compared to 2017. Non-cash adjustments in the aggregate were about $4.3 million higher in 2018. In addition, there was a $0.1 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2018. In 2017, there was no significant change in working capital items.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities consists primarily of $0.2 million of deposits on the planned acquisition of SmartPay Leasing, LLC paid in the year ended December 31, 2018, which agreement has as of July 15, 2018 been terminated. In addition, capital expenditures for the purchases of technology and equipment were $0.1 million and $Nil in the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Cash acquired in acquisitions was $40,353 in the year ended December 31, 2018.

Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2018, operating losses and working capital needs discussed above were met by raising cash in debt financing of $0.9 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These items are monitored and analyzed by management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. The more judgmental estimates are summarized below. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

Revenue Recognition

We expect to derive revenues primarily from providing a range of alternate financial products related to providing financial services to underbanked and unbanked individuals. These services are expected to include micro-credit, mobile phone financing, money transfers, prepaid debit cards, bill payments and related services. Revenues will be recognized when control of these services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

	●	Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
	●	Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
	●	Determination of the transaction price
	●	Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
	●	Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation

Technology and Equipment

Technology and equipment, including furniture, equipment, leasehold improvements, purchased custom software and internally developed software is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We capitalize expenditures or betterments that substantially increase asset lives, and charges ordinary repairs and maintenance to operations as incurred. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to five years. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed, and where appropriate, changes are made prospectively.

We capitalize certain software development costs incurred in connection with its eWallet and Micro Line of Credit products. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once a product has reached the application development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the product is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality; that is, modifications that enable the software to perform tasks that it previously was incapable of performing. Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill

Goodwill was created at the time of purchase where the purchase price paid for Genesis exceeded the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis on December 31st, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the reporting units might be impaired. The approach for the review of goodwill has two steps: identifying a potential impairment and measuring the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Factors that are considered important in determining whether an impairment of goodwill might exist include significant, continued underperformance compared to peers, significant changes in our business and products, material and ongoing negative industry or economic trends or other factors specific to each reporting unit being evaluated. Any changes in key assumptions about our business and our prospects, or changes in market conditions or other externalities, could result in an impairment charge. We use an income and market valuation hybrid approach, as it was considered to be the most appropriate method to isolate the estimated equity value of the Company. This valuation approach involved utilizing a forecasted future cash flow model discounted back at the estimated cost of equity as well as public company market comparables. Our projected cash flow model assumed revenue and operating expense growth over the five-year projected period. At December 31, 2018, a $2.2 million impairment loss was recognized. No impairment loss was recognized at December 31, 2017.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes as compensation expense all stock-based awards issued to employees and nonemployees. The compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the related stock-based awards and is recognized over the service period of stock-based awards, which is generally the same as the vesting period. The fair value of warrants and options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which estimates the fair value of each award on the date of grant based on a variety of assumptions including expected stock price volatility, expected terms of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and dividend rates, if applicable. Stock-based awards issued to nonemployees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments at the end of each reporting period and as the underlying stock-based awards vest.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant 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 that are material.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments and in November 2016 issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The new standards will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and amends the existing accounting standards for the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on the following nine cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies; distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle; and restricted cash. The adoption on January 1, 2018 of ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which amends guidance on revenue recognition from contracts with customers. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most contract revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. In July 2015, FASB deferred by one year the effective dates of its new revenue recognition standard for public and nonpublic entities. In addition, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, which further clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations contained in ASU 2014-09. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, to clarify the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption on January 1, 2018 of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements as we did not have any contracts with customers prior to January 1, 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 will simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Current guidance requires that companies compute the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2 by performing procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. ASU 2017-04 will require companies to perform annual or interim goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-04 on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard requires the recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases. This standard also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and should be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, and early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2019. Although the Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU, the Company currently believes the adoption of this guidance will have an insignificant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842). This guidance provides an additional (and optional) transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. In addition, this ASU provides a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease and instead account for the lease as a single component if both the timing and pattern of transfer of the nonlease component(s) are the same, and if the lease would be classified as an operating lease. These amendments have the same effective date as ASU 2016-02.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Under ASU 2018-07, the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions (as long as the transaction is not effectively a form of financing), with the exception of specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. The new standard is effective on January 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, and should be applied to all new awards granted after the date of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact this ASU will have on our consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Genesis Financial, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Genesis Financial, Inc. as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Genesis Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

1. BACKGROUND

Nature of Operations – Genesis Financial, Inc. (“Genesis” or “Company”) was incorporated in Washington State on January 24, 2002 and on January 26, 2016 it moved its corporate domicile to the State of Wyoming. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary EPOINT Payment Corp. (“Epoint”) was incorporated as a C-Corp in the state of Delaware in May 2015. The Company’s headquarters are in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Epoint is in the business of providing a range of alternate financial products designed for cost-efficient delivery via a smart phone or other mobile device. Epoint intends to initiate financial services offerings with an integrated “Mobile First” enabled program targeting underbanked and unbanked consumers, initially in North America, which will include micro credit, mobile phone device financing programs, money transfers, prepaid debit cards, bill payments, mobile top up, check processing, insurance and travel.

Epoint intends to leverage its relationships and agreements with key technology and media participants, together with appropriate financial institutions and distribution collaborators, to offer target consumers a wide range of price leading and more convenient local and international financial services, including money transfer, bill payment, mobile top up, Point of Sale (POS) payments, instant micro loans, check processing, insurance and travel services, all of which are to be delivered via an advanced proprietary platform technology.

Reverse Merger with EPOINT Payment Corp. – On February 15, 2018, the Company and Epoint completed the transactions contemplated by the previously disclosed Capital Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) entered into as of September 8, 2017, as subsequently amended. Under the Exchange Agreement, Genesis acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Epoint, following which Epoint became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genesis. The transaction was structured as a tax-free reorganization and exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Genesis issued to Epoint’s shareholders an aggregate of 8,231,536 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of their capital holdings in Epoint. At the closing, Genesis also issued to Epoint’s shareholders warrants to purchase up to an additional 845,000 shares of common stock in exchange for an equal number of Epoint common stock warrants. The warrants are exercisable through February 12, 2028 at a per share exercise price of $3.00.

F-6

Acquisition of Fintech – Immediately following the closing of the Exchange Agreement, on February 15, 2018, Genesis and Fintech Holdings, LLC (“Fintech LLC”), an Oregon limited liability company, signed and closed a Membership Interest Exchange Agreement between Genesis and Fintech LLC (the “Fintech Exchange Agreement”; together with the Exchange Agreement, the “Exchange Agreements”) pursuant to which Genesis issued to the members of Fintech LLC an aggregate of 26,435,604 shares of Common Stock. Fintech Investments Inc., the wholly-owned subsidiary of Fintech LLC (“Fintech Investments”) and a company formerly owned and operated by Gary Larkin, the Executive Co-Chairman of Genesis, holds the intellectual property licenses of Epoint’s proprietary platform technologies. Given that the entities were under common control, all of the transactions performed by Fintech Investments were done at the direction of Epoint, and substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a group of similar identifiable assets, management determined that the assets acquired do not represent a business. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Fintech LLC and Fintech Investments have been recorded at their historical cost basis at the merger date, and are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Henceforth, all references to the “Company” shall mean and include Genesis Financial., Inc. and its subsidiaries, following the closing of the Exchange Agreements.

2. LIQUIDITY

Historically, the Company has funded its cash and liquidity needs through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities. The Company has incurred a net loss of $3,406,328 and has an accumulated deficit of $61,107,682 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company has been dependent on raising capital from debt and equity financings to meet its needs for cash flow used in operating activities. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company raised $874,191 from financing activities in order to meet cash flow requirements in operating activities. This situation creates uncertainties about the Company’s ability to execute its business plan, finance operations, and indicates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date these financial statements were issued.

At December 31, 2018, the Company had $9,421 of cash on hand with a negative working capital of $2.4 million. The Company’s ability to meet its ongoing operating cash needs is dependent on generating positive cash flow, primarily through raising capital on an immediate basis, and ultimately generating revenue and controlling expenses. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company began entering into eWallet transaction processing services agreements, and began receiving payments that were recorded as contract liability that were recognized as revenue starting in the fourth quarter of 2018 once control of those services were transferred to the customer. In addition, subsequent to December 31, 2018 and through July 8, 2020, the Company raised an additional $1,485,000 from 13 investors through convertible debt offerings (see Note 9, Subsequent Events). However, the Company’s current cash resources are not sufficient to support its operations as presently conducted, pay down maturing debt, or permit it to take advantage of business opportunities that may arise. At December 31, 2018, debt obligations totaling approximately $2.2 million mature and must be repaid. We currently do not have sufficient funds to repay those debt obligations and must secure additional equity or debt capital in order to repay those obligations or obtain additional extensions of maturity, of which no assurance can be provided that we can obtain the needed funding or maturity extension on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Management of the Company is continuing its efforts to secure funds through equity and/or debt instruments for its operations. Presently, the Company does not have any financing commitment from any person, and there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company on commercially acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, our ability to or support our business and to respond to business challenges will be significantly limited and we may need to further curtail or cease operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation - The Company’s accounting and financial reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Genesis and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Operating results for the year ended December 31, 2018 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period. These consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of EPOINT Payment Corp. for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 4, 2018 (our “8-K/A”).

F-7

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and other judgments which it thinks are reasonable.

Risks and Uncertainties - The Company’s future operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could materially affect future operating results include, but are not limited to, changes to laws and regulations, customer credit risk, continued access to capital and counterparty risk. To minimize counterparty risk, the Company maintains relationships with what management believes to be high-quality financial institutions for the purposes of maintaining cash balances and providing financing. The Company maintains levels of cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and it believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings per share (EPS) are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock warrants, convertible debt instruments or other common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2018, outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,365,250 shares of common stock, outstanding stock options to purchase 1,900,000 shares of common stock, and 42,267 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt were excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2017, 42,267 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt were excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share because the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Revenue Recognition – The Company expects to derive revenues primarily from providing a range of alternate financial products related to providing financial services to underbanked and unbanked individuals. These services are expected to include micro-credit, mobile phone financing, money transfers, prepaid debit cards, bill payments and related services. Revenues will be recognized when control of these services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

	●	Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
	●	Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
	●	Determination of the transaction price
	●	Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
	●	Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value Measurements - U.S. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. U.S. GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and contains financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities for which the fair value option is elected. At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, management has not elected to report any of the Company’s assets or liabilities at fair value under the “fair value option” provided by U.S. GAAP.

The hierarchy of fair value valuation techniques under U.S. GAAP provides for three levels: Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, generally would require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under U.S. GAAP’s fair value measurement requirements are as follows:

	Level 1:	Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

	Level 2:	Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

	Level 3:	Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement and reflect management’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.

F-8

None of the Company’s assets or liabilities were measured at fair value at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. However, U.S. GAAP requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments that are not measured at fair value. Financial instruments consist principally of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, and convertible note payable. The estimated fair value of accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying value due to the short period of time to their maturities. At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s notes payable and convertible notes payable are at fixed rates and due to their short-term nature the carrying value approximates fair value.

Technology and Equipment - Technology and equipment, including furniture, equipment, leasehold improvements, purchased custom software and internally developed software is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company capitalizes expenditures or betterments that substantially increase asset lives, and charges ordinary repairs and maintenance to operations as incurred. The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to five years. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed, and where appropriate, changes are made prospectively.

The Company capitalizes certain software development costs incurred in connection with its eWallet and Micro Line of Credit products. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once a product has reached the application development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the product is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality; that is, modifications that enable the software to perform tasks that it previously was incapable of performing. Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill - Goodwill was created at the time of purchase where the purchase price paid for Genesis exceeded the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis on December 31st, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the reporting units might be impaired. The approach for the review of goodwill has two steps: identifying a potential impairment and measuring the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Factors that are considered important in determining whether an impairment of goodwill might exist include significant, continued underperformance compared to peers, significant changes in our business and products, material and ongoing negative industry or economic trends or other factors specific to each reporting unit being evaluated. Any changes in key assumptions about our business and our prospects, or changes in market conditions or other externalities, could result in an impairment charge. We use an income and market valuation hybrid approach, as it was considered to be the most appropriate method to isolate the estimated equity value of the Company. This valuation approach involved utilizing a forecasted future cash flow model discounted back at the estimated cost of equity as well as public company market comparables. Our projected cash flow model assumed revenue and operating expense growth over the five-year projected period. At December 31, 2018, a $1.8 million impairment loss was recognized.

Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of - The Company accounts for long-lived assets, including technology and equipment, at amortized cost. Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. At December 31, 2018, a $0.4 million impairment loss was recognized.

Debt Issuance Costs - Debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the related debt. Net debt issuance costs were $16,667 and $11,806 at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and are netted against Loans Payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Income Taxes - The provision for income taxes is based on income and expenses as reported for financial statement purposes using the “asset and liability method” for accounting for deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company established full valuation allowances against its net deferred tax assets.

Income tax positions that meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of income tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with income tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above would be reflected as a liability for unrecognized income tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits would be classified as additional income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. There were no unrecognized income tax benefits, nor any interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits, accrued or expensed at and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

F-9

The Company files federal income tax returns in the U.S. and various state income tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by the related tax authorities for the Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns for years prior to 2014.

Stock-Based Compensation - The Company recognizes as compensation expense all stock-based awards issued to employees and nonemployees. The compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the related stock-based awards and is recognized over the service period of stock-based awards, which is generally the same as the vesting period. The fair value of warrants and options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which estimates the fair value of each award on the date of grant based on a variety of assumptions including expected stock price volatility, expected terms of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and dividend rates, if applicable. Stock-based awards issued to officers, directors and non-employees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments at the end of each reporting period and as the underlying stock-based awards vest. Stock-based compensation was $1,130,085 from issuing warrants and options to non-employees and $Nil for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in Professional services expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments and in November 2016 issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The new standards will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and amends the existing accounting standards for the statement of cash flows. The amendments provide guidance on the following nine cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies; distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle; and restricted cash. The adoption on January 1, 2018 of ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 will simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Current guidance requires that companies compute the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2 by performing procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. ASU 2017-04 will require companies to perform annual or interim goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-04 on its consolidated financial statements.

A summary of all stock option activity at and for the year ended December 31, 2018 is presented below:

			Weighted
			Average
	# of		Exercise
	Options		Price

Outstanding at December 31, 2017		-	$	-

Outstanding at December 31, 2018		1,900,000	$	3.09

At December 31, 2018, there were 1,431,250 unvested options with a weighted average exercise price of $3.09. The unvested options will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule in each respective option agreement, which is two years from the grant date. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at December 31, 2018 was $Nil. During the year ended December 31, 2018, 468,750 options became vested.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to measure the grant-date fair value of stock options. The calculation includes several assumptions that require management’s judgment. The expected term of the options is calculated using the simplified method described in GAAP. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. Estimated volatility is derived from volatility calculated using historical closing prices of common shares of similar entities whose share prices are publicly available for the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the options.

The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes valuation model for options granted during the year ended December 31, 2018:

Risk-free interest rate	3.01	%
Expected term (in years)	6.0
Dividend yield	-
Expected volatility	50	%

F-14

The weighted average grant date fair value per share of stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2018 was $0.75. The aggregate grant date fair value of the 1,900,000 options granted during the year ended December 31, 2018 was $1,423,000.

For the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, total stock option expense related to stock options was $353,688 and $Nil, respectively. At December 31, 2018, the total compensation cost related to stock options not yet recognized is approximately $1,068,312, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years.

The accounting business within the Beacon Group is to assist with identifying the most suitable and competitive finance solutions for clients of the Wealth Management network, primarily for those funding the acquisition of investment properties.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid Beacon AUD$100,000 ($69,030) in cash upon the completion of the Company’s due diligence in 2020.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the balance of the Purchase Price is payable in three installments: (i) AUD$1 million (USD$690,300) in cash and AUD$4.5 million (USD$3,106,350) in Company Common Stock on June 30, 2020; (ii) AUD$1 million (USD$690,300) in cash and AUD$1.5 million (USD$1,035,450) in Company Common Stock on June 30, 2021; and (iii) AUD$2 million ($1,380,600) in cash and $4.5 million (USD$3,106,350) in Company Common Stock on June 30, 2022. As per the Agreement, the cash consideration payable in the second installment was subsequently reduced to AUD$616,370 (USD$425,580) due to lower earnings of the Beacon Group and the due date was extended to August 31, 2021.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, in the event the Company does not remit the cash component of the Purchase when due, then, subject to a three month grace period, Beach is authorized, upon written notice to the Company within 10 business days of the end of such period, to unwind the transaction (the “Unwind Provision”) whereupon the Company shall return Beacon Group to Beacon and Beacon shall return the Consideration Shares issued as of such date to the Company. Accordingly, until the Purchase Price has been paid in full, the Company will maintain the separate corporate existence of each company in the Beacon Group.

The Purchase Agreement contained customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions. The closing of the transaction contemplated under the Purchase Agreement was subject to the obtaining by the Beacon Group of all required Australian governmental and regulatory authorities and other customary closing conditions.

In connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2018. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In performing this assessment, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2018.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 using the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018 due to several material weaknesses.

A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following internal control over financial reporting deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of December 31, 2018.

	●	Financial Reporting and Closing Process: We did not maintain an effective financial reporting and closing process to prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP. We determined that controls over timely and complete financial statement reviews, effective journal entry controls, and appropriate reconciliation processes were missing or ineffective. Further, we were unable to complete regulatory filings timely as required by the rules of the SEC.

	●	Qualified Personnel: We lacked a sufficient number of qualified accounting personnel in key financial reporting positions to operate processes and controls over the year end close process. As a result, a reasonable possibility exists that material misstatements in our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

	●	Control Monitoring: Our controls for monitoring the adequacy of the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting across the Company were ineffective. As a result, a reasonable possibility exists that material misstatements in our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART III

Item 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The following is a brief description of the principal occupation and recent business experience of each of our executive officers and directors and their ages as of August 13, 2020:

Name	Age	Position
Russell Cameron	59	Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director
Warwick Kerridge	59	Chairman of the Board and Director

Our board of directors currently consists of two members. All directors hold office until their successors have been elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal. Board vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority vote of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Our board may establish the authorized number of directors from time to time by resolution.

Our executive officers are each appointed by the board and serve at the board’s discretion. There are no family relationships among our officers or directors.

Executive Officers

Russell Cameron. Mr. Cameron has been serving as the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director of the Company since June 2, 2020. Mr. Cameron has had a very diverse career. His first management position was the acquisition of television broadcast signal for KWBP-TV in Portland, Oregon. During the three years he and his partners owned and operated Portland’s WB affiliate. The station’s rapid growth drew the attention of WB Network Founder and CEO Jamie Kellner, who formed his own broadcast group and purchased the asset for $27 million. His passion for television production and the great outdoors led to investments in media companies and later his own production venture OMG Multi-Media, (“OMG”). Mr. Cameron served as OMG’s President and CEO from 1997 to March 2016. OMG has since created and distributed award-winning television programs including Fishing the West, America’s Outdoor Journal, Camp YMCA, Inside Passage and Western Sport Fishing with Lee Horsley which broadcast on national cable networks Versus, Outdoor Life Network, Fox Sports Network, Outdoor Channel and Comcast Sports Net to name a few. Mr. Cameron earned multiple Telly® Awards (the cable industry equivalent to the Emmy®) for his work, including Best Cable Outdoor Program in 2001 and 2005. From March 2016 to September 2018, he worked in the investment banking industry with Whitestone Investment Network. On September 27, 2018, he co-founded Health Professional Alliance Inc. Mr. Cameron’s extensive/in-depth experience in a variety of areas such as Business Development/Operations, Investment Banking and Finance are among the many attributes that uniquely qualify Mr. Cameron to serve as a member of the Board and CEO of the Company.

Non-Employee Directors

Warwick Kerridge. The Company’s Board appointed Warwick Kerridge to serve as Chairman of the Board, effective on March 9, 2020. Mr. Kerridge, has a distinguished corporate finance career spans nearly 30 years, including Legal, Banking and Financial services, with a particular focus on M&A by using a grounding in Law and expanding on that base through high level executive management experience. In addition to his transactional experience, Mr. Kerridge has led numerous valuation and strategic financial consulting engagements. He has worked extensively in several industries sectors including, but not limited to Biotech, Telco, Media, Property, Banking and Financial services, Film and Television, Funds Management, Mining and Resources. Prior to founding Capital land Advisory in February 2019, Mr. Kerridge between 2005 and 2009, held management positions with O’Connell Partner, Pitt Capital Partners (wholly-owned subsidiary of Australia’s oldest listed investment house, Washington H. Soul Pattinson & Company) and between 1987 and 2005 with Capital Finance Australia (Lloyds Banking Group and Bank of Scotland). Mr. Kerridge’s extensive experience in a variety of areas such as corporate finance, M&A, as well as executive management experience are among the many attributes that uniquely qualify Mr. Kerridge to serve as a Chairman of the Board of the Company.

On July 25, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Genesis Financial Inc. (the Company”) appointed Rahul Singh to fill an existing vacancy on the Board effective immediately. On October 20, 2019, Rahul Singh, the Company’s non-executive director, resigned to pursue other opportunities. Mr. Singh’s resignation was not in connection with any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

None of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:

●

has had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

●

been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);

●

been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities or banking activities;

●

been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;

●

been subject or a party to or any other event requiring disclosure under Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder of the Company must file a Form 4 reporting the acquisition or disposition of Company’s equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than the end of the second business day after the day the transaction occurred unless certain exceptions apply. Transactions not reported on Form 4 must be reported on Form 5 within 45 days after the end of the Company’s fiscal year. Such persons must also file initial reports of ownership on Form 3 upon becoming an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder.

To our knowledge, based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received or written representations from certain Reporting Persons that no other reports were required, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2018, all Reporting Persons timely complied with all applicable filing requirements.
