Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties.

 

Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “could,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “desire,” “goal,” “should,” “objective,” “seek,” “plan,” “strive” or “anticipate,” as well as variations of such words or similar expressions, or the negatives of these words.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2020 and 2019

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

 

Monetiva Inc. (formerly known as American Standard Wallet, Inc. and Lark Street Acquisition Corporation, or “Monetiva” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on July 22, 2016 under the laws of the state of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. The Company has been in the developmental stage since inception and its operations to date have been limited to issuing shares to its original shareholders and investors.

 

As of November 11, 2020, the Company has a total of 26,941,264 shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding. Of all shares issued and outstanding, a total of 20,000,000 common shares have been issued to the Company’s Board of Director and Founder of the Company, representing approximately 74.24% of the total shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this Report.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the effects of a new coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and related actions to attempt to control its spread began to impact our business. The impact of COVID-19 on our operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was limited, in all material respects, due to the government mandated numerous measures, including closures of businesses, limitations on movements of individuals and goods, and the imposition of other restrictive measures, in its efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within the country.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments around the world have mandated, and continue to introduce, orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying interim condensed financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management of the Company, contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2020, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), although management of the Company believes that the disclosures contained in these interim condensed financial statements are adequate to make the information presented therein not misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on March 25, 2020.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company demonstrates adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has not yet generated any revenue and has suffered operating losses since July 22, 2016 (Inception Date) to date and allow it to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. The Company incurred a net loss of $621,525 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, used net cash flows in operating activities of $645,061, and has an accumulated deficit of $1,993,542 as of September 30, 2020. These factors, among others raise a substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. These accounting policies conform to GAAP in all material respects and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of accounts payable, accrued liabilities and payable to related party. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

 

The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) - ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible note and preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no convertible notes, options or warrants available for conversion that if exercised, may dilute future earnings per share.

 

Fair value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, rent deposits and accrued liabilities. The Company believes that the recorded values of all the financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provide that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions.” When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying condensed balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

 

Leases

 

The Company has operating leases for its offices. Management determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract and whether a contract is or contains a lease by determining whether it conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time. If the contract provides the Company the right to substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset, the Company consider it to be, or contain, a lease. The Company records a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability based on the present value of the minimum lease payments. The lease term used in the calculation of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities include renewal and termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our leases do not provide an implicit borrowing rate, and we estimate the Company’s incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank and financial institution deposits with balance in excess of federally insured limits of $250,000 insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The amount exceeding FDIC insured limits was $0 and $3,100 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard-setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

 

NOTE 3 – PREPAID EXPENSES

 

The Company has made prepayments to Endless One Global (“E1G”) with regard to E1G’s service in providing data processing, transaction processing and related services for the prepaid debit accounts created for the Company’s customers. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, prepayments to E1G were $1,215,480 and $959,780 (See NOTE 7 - Service Agreement), prepayment to a vendor for development of mobile and web applications of $20,000 and $0, and prepaid rent of $0 and $57,500, respectively. The Company expects to obtain the approvals of BINs from the banks in the United States, United Arab Emirates and Mexico by December 15, 2020, and start its business operations within 30 to 45 days thereafter.

 

NOTE 4 – ACCRUED LIABILITIES

 

The Company had accrued liabilities primarily consisting of consulting and professional fees, payroll and franchise taxes of $92,453 and $77,474 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company has recorded accrued payroll to its Chief Executive Officer (“Officer”) of $471,045 and $291,360 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company has recorded Officer’s compensation expense of $59,895 and $54,450 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $179,685 and $163,350 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively (See NOTE 7).

 

Payable to Officer

 

The Officer has advanced funds to the Company for its working capital requirements. The funds advanced by the Officer are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand. The funds advanced were $32,470 and $0 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

NOTE 6 – LEASES

 

The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company has elected to apply the transition method that allows companies to continue applying the guidance under the lease standard in effect at that time in the comparative periods presented in the condensed financial statements and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the date of adoption. The Company also elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.

 

Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under the new standard, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. Upon adoption of the new lease standard, on January 1, 2019, the Company capitalized right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $124,524 and $132,485 of lease liabilities, within the Company’s condensed balance sheets upon adoption. Additionally, the Company reversed its deferred rent liability of $7,960, which upon adoption became a component of the right-of-use asset. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed statement of operations or cash flows and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

 

On February 9, 2018, the Company executed a non-cancellable operating lease for its principal office with the lease commencing March 1, 2018 for a period of 21 months maturing on November 30, 2019. The Company paid a security deposit of $25,136. The base rent of the lease was $12,202 for the first twelve months, increasing to $12,568 from the month thirteen to month twenty-one. The lease had a provision for rent abatement for the monthly rent of April 2018. The lease terminated on November 30, 2019. The Company has recorded rent expense of $35,333 and $105,999 for this non-cancellable lease for its principal office for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

The Company executed a month-to-month cancellable operating lease, leasing office space in an executive suite, commencing on January 1, 2019 for $169 per month. The monthly rent increased to $203 effective October 1, 2019. The Company terminated the operating lease effective June 30, 2020. The Company recorded rent expense of $0 and $1,221 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and $507 and $1,521 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

 

 

On May 24, 2019, the Company executed a month-to-month rental agreement to lease furnished premises. The lease term commenced June 1, 2019 for a one-year term with a monthly rent of $11,500 per month and terminates on May 31, 2020. The landlord required a security deposit of $15,000 on the commencement date of the lease, and an additional $10,000 security deposit on November 1, 2019. On May 30, 2019, the Company paid to the landlord security deposit of $15,000 and prepaid the rent of $69,000 for the six months ended November 30, 2019. On October 1, 2019, pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement, the Company paid to the landlord an additional security deposit of $10,000 and prepaid rent of $69,000 for the six months term starting December 1, 2019 to May 31, 2020. On June 24, 2020, the landlord agreed to extend the lease term through the earlier of August 31, 2020 or the end of Covid -19 period, and reduced the month-to-month rent to $8,500 per month. All other terms of the original lease remained the same. The Company recorded a rent expense of $25,500 and $34,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and a rent expense of $91,500 and $46,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded a rent deposit of $25,000 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and prepaid rent of $0 and $57,500 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

The Company has recorded total rent expense of $25,500 and $92,721 for all its leases for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $70,340 and $153,520 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

If a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonable estimated, the Company recognizes an expense for the estimated loss. If the Company has the potential to recover a portion of the estimated loss from a third party, the Company makes a separate assessment of recoverability and reduces the estimated loss if recovery is also deemed probable. The Company was not aware of any loss contingencies as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this Form 10-Q, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, noting no items that would impact the accounting for events or transactions in the current period or require additional disclosures.

 

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

 

This Quarterly Report Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth as a result of general economic conditions and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. The analysis set forth below is provided pursuant to applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and is not intended to serve as a basis for projections of future events.

 

We are a development stage enterprise and are incorporated in the State of Delaware in July 2016. As of the date of inception to the date of this quarterly report, we did not generate any revenue and incurred expenses and operating losses, as part of our development stage activities. We have experienced a net loss of $621,525 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net cash used in operating activities of $645,061, and have recorded an accumulated deficit of $1,993,542 at September 30, 2020.

 

We anticipate that we will need substantial working capital over the next 12 months to continue as a going concern and to expand our operations to distribute, sell and market products and solutions. Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Unless we are able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations and/or obtain additional financing, there is a substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. We intend to make an equity offering of our common stock for the acquisition and operation expenses. If we cannot raise the required cash, we will issue additional shares of our common stock in lieu of cash.

 

Our Current Business

 

Monetiva’s primary objective is to offer prepaid card and money remittance services to under-banked, underserved markets and foreign workers. We are supported by an experienced management team with extensive background and qualifications in our core business, including prepaid card issuance, program management, third party processing technology and banking regulatory and compliance. We are a startup Company in the developmental phase of the business cycle. We are building out a card and technology platform and remittance network and are currently engaged with business partners in the United States and globally.

 

We intend to utilize Endless One Global (“E1G”) prepaid card services to provide prepaid cards to under-banked consumers, primarily targeting foreign workers. The primary services to be offered are centered on the issuance of MasterCard credit and debit cards to qualified consumers in the United States of America (“USA”). Business rollout is intended to be implemented in phases. Phase I of development included targeting and establishing relationships with partner companies in both USA, Mexico and India. Business relationships shall be secured to implement domestically issued prepaid cards and financial services in each of those markets. Our aim by this development phase is to enable a low cost, efficient solution to both the US accountholders and their respective family and friends in partner countries. Our accounts are designed to enable foreign workers to have their payroll deposited directly onto the MasterCard issued by us. Card recipients will then be able to pay bills, send money abroad and utilize the MasterCard to access Automated Teller Machines (“ATMs”) and make purchases at retail merchants. Services will also be provided to enable card loading of funds through retail merchant locations. We also intend to implement value added programs such as loyalty discounts that shall be provided as part of the card benefits.

 

After successful rollout of Phase I development programs, we have expanded our programs to additional countries and territories as part of our Phase II development plan. We expect to obtain approvals of BINs in the United States, United Arab Emirates and Mexico by December 15, 2020, and start our operations within 30 to 45 days thereafter. We shall provide the same services to these new Phase II territories which include Europe, Philippines, Pakistan and China.

 

Our Strategy

 

To successfully grow and expand our business, we intend to deploy the following primary marketing strategies:

 

	●	Target those foreign market Immigrants in the US by metro area;
	●	Establish Ambassadors in high density metro areas – Sales & Marketing Representatives;

 

 

	●	Setup Internet Infrastructure to enable family\friend Issuance in each market, utilizing digital marketing to drive traffic to the Company’s domain;
	●	Utilize retail distribution partners;
	●	Utilize accountholder incentives to create a viral referral base to bring in new accountholders; and
	●	Add new products and services to existing accountholders to generate increased usage per accountholder;

 

Once we have deployed these primary strategies in the US, cross marketing to the other countries will be implemented using the same strategy.

 

Metro Area Marketing

 

We have identified several primary metropolitan areas and sub-market areas to focus its US-based marketing into the foreign worker concentrated markets. These areas include Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Houston, Dallas, New York, Chicago, Washington DC, Atlanta, Miami and the surrounding area sub-markets. We intend to secure representatives in each of these markets to setup distribution points with foreign market centric services including organizations related to religion, healthcare, community, and employment. The representatives will include direct employees and bank approved independent agents. Deeper expansion into other metropolitan markets will be evaluated and prioritized once we have met our initial primary business objectives.

 

Internet Access and Marketing

 

Our website will be developed to easily enable accountholder registration in the US and provide access to registration in each of the home markets through our issuing partners. This will allow effective communications to the consumers in each market while utilizing the Know Your Customer (“KYC”) verification and compliance process that has already been established through the existing systems.

 

Social Media and Digital Marketing will be used to target consumers. We also intend to affiliate with websites and brands that focus on the same consumer markets.

 

Retail Distribution Partners

 

We are in discussions with several retail chains to offer the Monetiva Card through their retail distribution network. The cards will be available for immediate activation and loading from the local stores. Once KYC is provided and verified the cards will be converted from non-reloadable to reloadable and available for personalization if requested. Inventory control will be established with each retail partner.

 

Accountholder Incentives

 

The foreign worker communities generally provide a cohesive network that enables incentive programs for one account holder to refer friends or family. We intend to provide the referring account holder with valued incentives to bring others into the Monetiva program.

 

Value-added Services

 

We have developed a suite of value-added services to increase the value of the service offering to accountholders including retail discounts, healthcare discounts, usage points, long distance telephone, bill-paying, etc. These services are intended to drive more transaction activity and new accountholder traffic.

 

 

Global Remittance Market

 

We are focused on select remittance corridors to enable Monetiva to specialize in the scope, value and quality of services. According to the migrationdataportal.org, the volume of remittances from the US to the target markets in 2019 was projected to be as follows:

 

Receiving Country		USD (in billions)
Mexico		$	38.7
India		$	82.2
China		$	70.3
Philippines		$	35.1

Results of Operations

 

Our results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 included the operations of the Company. We reported a net loss of $172,134 and $621,525 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 applicable to the Company’s common stockholders as compared to the net loss of $242,435 and $548,520 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The reduction in loss for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 resulted primarily due to reduction in rent expense, legal fees and travel expense. The increase in loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 resulted primarily due to the increase in officer’s compensation expense, professional and consulting expenses, branding and marketing expense for our name and products, and other increase in general and administrative expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash balance at September 30, 2020 was $509 as compared to $253,100 at December 31, 2019. As shown in the accompanying condensed financial statements, we recorded a net loss of $621,525 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our accumulated deficit at September 30, 2020 was $1,993,542 and net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $645,061. These factors and our ability to raise additional capital to accomplish our objectives, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect our expenses will continue to increase during the foreseeable future as a result of increased operational expenses and the development of our current business operations. We anticipate generating only minimal revenues over the next twelve months. Consequently, we are dependent on the proceeds from future debt or equity investments to sustain our operations and implement our business plan. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, we will be required to delay or forego some portion of our business plan, which would have a material adverse effect on our anticipated results from operations and financial condition. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary amounts of capital or that our estimates of our capital requirements will prove to be accurate.

 

From February 2, 2018 through November 10, 2020, we were engaged in private exempt offerings in reliance on Regulation D, Rule 506, whereby we raised a total amount of $2,652,252, which was immediately made available to us to cover our operating expenses, salaries and other development costs. We presently do not have any significant credit available, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to our operating losses, our operations have not been a source of liquidity. We will need to acquire other profitable entities or obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding.

 

To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities may result in dilution to existing stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock and the terms of such debt could impose restrictions on our operations. Regardless of whether our cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet our operational needs, we may seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash, which may also result in dilution to existing shareholders. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing.

 

No assurance can be given that sources of financing will be available to us and/or that demand for our equity/debt instruments will be sufficient to meet our capital needs, or that financing will be available on terms favorable to us. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or may be required to reduce the scope of our planned service development and marketing efforts, any of which could have a negative impact on our business and operating results. In addition, insufficient funding may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, which could require us to:

 

	●	Curtail our operations significantly, or
	●	Seek arrangements with strategic partners or other parties that may require us to relinquish significant rights to technology platform and correlated services, or
	●	Explore other strategic alternatives including a merger or sale of our Company.

 

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $645,061 which resulted primarily from our net loss of $621,525, and a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $23,536, attributable to increase in prepaid deposits of $218,200 towards BIN and mobile and web development, increase in accrued liabilities of $14,979, and increase in accrued payroll of officer of $179,685. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $955,775 which resulted primarily from our net loss of $548,520, common stock issued for services valued at $1,200, and net change in operating assets and liabilities of $408,455, attributable to increase in prepaid expenses of $497,300 due to prepaid deposits towards BIN, increase in rent deposits of $15,000 for renting additional premises, increase in other current asset of $11,572 for rent receivable, decrease in accrued liabilities of $36,853, increase in accrued payroll of officer of $158,650, and decrease in deferred rent of $6,380.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $392,470 primarily due to cash proceeds of $360,000 received from the sale of common stock, and cash proceeds of $32,470 received from the officer as short-term advance for the Company’s working capital needs. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $1,476,352 primarily due to cash proceeds of $1,171,752 for stock subscriptions received in advance, cash proceeds of $200,000 received from sale of common stock, cash proceeds of $160,000 received from common stock subscriptions receivable, cash payment of $55,000 paid for short term loans, and cash payment of $400 paid to the Officer.

 

As a result of the above activities, we experienced a net decrease in cash of $252,591 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our ability to continue as a going concern is still dependent on our success in obtaining additional financing from investors or from sale of our common shares.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. We have identified the following accounting policies that we believe require application of management’s most subjective judgments, often requiring the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Our actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material.

 

While our significant accounting policies are described in more details in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our 2019 Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 25, 2020, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

JOBS Act Accounting Election

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards, and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

 

Fair value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

 

Development Stage and Capital Resources

 

We have devoted substantially all of our efforts to business planning since our inception on July 22, 2016. Accordingly, we are considered to be in the development stage. We have not generated revenues from our operations, and we will not commence generating revenues until sometime during the fourth quarter of 2020.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(c) of the SEC’s Regulation S-B. We did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special-purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our financial statements and do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations which have not been adopted.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the effects of a new coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and related actions to attempt to control its spread began to impact our business. The impact of COVID-19 on our operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was limited, in all material respects, due to the government mandated numerous measures, including closures of businesses, limitations on movements of individuals and goods, and the imposition of other restrictive measures, in its efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within the country.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments around the world have mandated, and continue to introduce, orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

 

To the extent that COVID-19 continues or worsens, governments may impose additional restrictions or additional governments may impose restrictions. The result of COVID-19 and those restrictions could result in a number of adverse impacts to our business, including but not limited to additional disruption to the economy and consumers’ willingness and ability to spend, temporary or permanent closures by businesses that will consume our credit and debit cards, additional work restrictions, and supply chains being interrupted, slowed, or rendered inoperable. As a result, it may be challenging to obtain and process credit and debit card transactions and supply chains to support our business needs, and individuals could become ill, quarantined, or otherwise unable to work and/or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions. Also, governments may impose other laws, regulations or taxes which could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, if our customers’ businesses or incomes are similarly affected, they might delay or reduce usage by our cardholders. The potential effects of COVID-19 also could impact us in a number of other ways including, but not limited to, reductions to our profitability, laws and regulations affecting our business, the availability of future borrowings, the cost of borrowings, and credit risks of our cardholders and counterparties. We have demonstrated adverse conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of our company as a going concern, in conjunction with COVID-19 impact, is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary financing to continue our operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. Given the evolving health, economic, social, and governmental environments, the potential impact that COVID-19 could have on our business remains uncertain. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.

 

Not Applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Currently, there is only one officer and one director, and as such is solely responsible for evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer believes that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of September 30, 2020 due to the following material weaknesses. We lacked the ability to have adequate segregation of duties in the financial statement preparation process. Further the Company did not maintain adequate documentation for review and supporting matters impacting financial reporting in gathering, analyzing and disclosing information needed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic reports is recorded, summarized and processed timely. The principal executive officer is directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company.

 

Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses

 

Since these entity level controls have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. We believe that, since the date that we were made aware of our material weakness, we are continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting by taking certain corrective steps that we believe minimize the likelihood of a recurrence. We have designed a disclosure controls and procedures regime pursuant to which our management has, among other things:

 

(a) identified the definition, objectives, application and scope of our internal control over financial reporting;

 

(b) delineated the duties of each member of the group responsible for maintaining the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting. This group consists of:

 

(i) our Chief Executive Officer; and

 

(ii) an independent consultant who was engaged to prepare and assure compliance with both our internal control over financial reporting as well as our disclosure controls and procedures and review our disclosure controls and procedures on a regular basis, subject to our management’s supervision.

 

We continue to work with our structure in which we have an independent consultant, in order to continue implementation of required key controls, the necessary steps required for procedures to ensure the appropriate communication and review of inputs necessary for the financial statement closing process, as well as for the appropriate presentation of disclosures within the financial statements. The remediation steps taken are subject to the Chief Executive Officer’s oversight. While management believes there have been significant improvements of internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, management anticipates that further continuing efforts will be needed to effectively remediate the material deficiencies relating to segregation of duties and maintaining adequate supporting documentation to substantiate the information reported in the financial statements which existed as of September 30, 2020, and to assure that complex transactions are properly recorded as the business continues to grow. Our management has been actively engaged in planning for, designing and implementing the corrective steps described above to enhance the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as well as our internal control over financial reporting. Our management is committed to achieving and maintaining a strong control environment, high ethical standards, and financial reporting integrity, and will take further steps to ensure that personnel are adequate in terms of sophistication and quantity to adequately assure that the financial reporting process is efficient and operated with the sufficient level of integrity to meet and surpass all regulatory standards.

 

While management is implementing corrective steps to remediate its internal control deficiencies, we cannot assure you that they will be sufficient enough to be free of a material weakness. If we should in the future conclude that our internal control over financial reporting suffers from a material weakness, we will be required to expend additional resources to improve it. Any additional instances of material deficiencies could require a restatement of our financial statements. If such restatements are required, there could be a material adverse effect on our investors’ confidence that our financial statements fairly present our financial condition and results of operations, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Other than the remediation activities undertaken by us as disclosed above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information.

 

On August 22, 2019, the Company became aware of an Securities and Exchange Commission Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings and Notice of Hearing alleging that the Company is delinquent in certain of its periodic filings with the Commission and indicating that administrative proceedings are intended to be held (i) to determine all delinquent filings and any defenses of the Company for any such delinquent filings, and (ii) to make a decision as whether it may be appropriate to take any action to suspend or revoke the Company’s registration of its securities. The date of the Commission Order was August 14, 2019. The Company filed an answer in response to the assertions made by the Commission.

 

On September 18, 2019, the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed with the Office of the Secretary a Motion for Ruling on the Pleadings Against the Company seeking an order to revoke each class of securities of the Company registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company has filed all of its delinquent filings and is current with its filings in an effort to possibly avoid such revocation. The Company has not received any further communications from the SEC on this matter as to whether it will continue to seek revocation.
