Covid-19
In
March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic throughout the United States.
While the initial outbreak concentrated in China, it spread to several other countries, including Russia and Cyprus, and reported infections
globally. Many countries worldwide, including the United States, have implemented significant governmental measures to control the spread
of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement of people, and other material
limitations on trade. These measures have resulted in work stoppages, absenteeism in the Company’s labor workforce, and other disruptions.
The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments. These developments are highly uncertain.
We cannot predict them with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak and the actions required to contain the coronavirus
or treat its impact. In particular, the spread of the coronavirus globally could adversely impact our operations and workforce, including
our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operation
results.
Ukraine-Russia
Conflict
The
geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The war between the
two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues. The United States and certain European countries have imposed additional
sanctions on Russia and specific individuals. By the end of August 2022, the Company closed its technical support and development office
in Russia. We relocated our personnel to Turkey, currently considered a neutral zone. No individual associated with the Company is banned
or under Special Designated Nationals and Blocked Person list. If the military activities worsen and expand in Europe, we may relocate
our office from Turkey to other neutral zones in Asia. If we cannot relocate our technical and development operations to a safer zone,
it may impact our software development capabilities and negatively impact the Company’s business plans.
As
of the date of this report, there has been no disruption in our operations.

Consolidated
Financial Statement Preparation and Use of Estimates

and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with three months or less of
original maturities. The Company maintains its cash balances at a single financial institution. The balances do not exceed Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits as of December 31, 2022. On December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company had $264,829 and $93,546 cash
and cash equivalent held at the financial institution.

Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
Receivable primarily represents the amount due from ten (10) customers. In some cases, the customer receivables are due immediately on
demand; however, in most cases, the Company offers net 30 terms or n/30, where the payment is due in full 30 days after the invoice’s
date. The Company has based the allowance for doubtful accounts on its assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company
regularly reviews the allowance by considering historical experience, credit quality, the accounts receivable balances’ age, and
economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay and expected default frequency rates. Trade receivables are written
off at the point when they are considered uncollectible.
At
December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Management determined that the allowance for doubtful accounts was $137,371 and $117,487, respectively.
The fiscal year’s bad debt expense ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 was $19,884 and $21,526, respectively.
Sales,
Marketing, and Advertising
The
Company recognizes sales, marketing, and advertising expenses when incurred.
The
Company incurred $382,864 and $648,833 in sales, marketing, and advertising costs (“sales and marketing”) for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively. The sales and marketing cost mainly included travel costs for stock-based compensation
for marketing consultants, tradeshows, customer meet and greet, online marketing on industry websites, press releases, and public relations
activities. The sales, marketing, and advertising expenses represented 5.93% and 141.77% of the fiscal year’s sales ended December
31, 2022, and 2021.
Revenue
Recognition
On
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Most of the Company’s revenues come from
two contracts – IT support and maintenance (‘IT Agreement’) and software development (‘Second Amendment’)
that fall within the scope of ASC 606.
The
Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services as per the contract with the customer. As a result, the Company
accounts for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which includes the following steps:
|
● |
Identify
the contract or contracts and subsequent amendments with the customer. |
|
● |
Identify
all the performance obligations in the contract and subsequent amendments. |
|
● |
Determine
the transaction price for completing performance obligations. |
|
● |
Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. |
|
● |
Recognize
the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
Note
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The
Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. The Company
presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are reported following
legacy GAAP. In addition to the above guidelines, the Company also considers implementation guidance on warranties, customer options,
licensing, and other topics. The Company considers revenue collectability, methods for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction
of a performance obligation, warranties, customer options for additional goods or services, nonrefundable upfront fees, licensing, customer
acceptance, and other relevant categories.
The
Company accounts for a contract when it and the customer (‘parties’) have approved the agreement and are committed to fulfilling
their obligations. Each party can identify its rights, obligations, and payment terms; the contract has commercial substance. The Company
will probably collect all of the consideration. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control
of the promised service to a customer. The Company fixes the transaction price for goods and services at contract inception. The Company’s
standard payment terms are generally net 30 days and, in some cases, due upon receipt of the invoice.
The
Company considers the change in scope, price, or both as contract modifications. The parties describe contract modification as a change
order, a variation, or an amendment. A contract modification exists when the parties approve a modification that either creates new or
changes existing enforceable rights and obligations. The Company assumes a contract modification by oral agreement or implied by the
customer’s customary business practice when agreed in writing. If the parties to the contract have not approved a contract modification,
the Company continues to apply the existing contract’s guidance until the contract modification is approved. The Company recognizes
contract modification in various forms –partial termination, an extension of the contract term with a corresponding price increase,
adding new goods or services to the contract, with or without a corresponding price change, and reducing the contract price without a
change in goods/services promised.
At
contract inception, the Company assesses the solutions or services, or bundles of solutions and services, obligated in the contract with
a customer to identify each performance obligation within the contract and then evaluate whether the performance obligations are capable
of being distinct and distinct within the context of the agreement. Solutions and services incapable of being distinct and distinct
within the contract context are combined and treated as a single performance obligation in determining the allocation and recognition
of revenue. For multi-element transactions, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative
stand-alone selling price basis. The Company determines the stand-alone selling price for each item at the transaction’s inception
involving these multiple elements.
Note
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Since
January 21, 2016 (‘Inception’), the Company has derived its revenues mainly from consulting services, technology solutions,
and customized software development. The Company recognizes revenue when it has satisfied a performance obligation by transferring control
over a product or delivering a service to a customer. We measure revenue based on the consideration outlined in an arrangement or contract
with a customer.
The
Company’s typical performance obligations include the following:
Performance
Obligation |
|
Types
of Deliverables |
|
When
Performance Obligation is Typically Satisfied |
Consulting
Services |
|
Consulting
related to Start-Your-Own-Brokerage (“SYOB”), Start-Your-Own-Prime Brokerage (“SYOPB”), Start-Your-Own-Crypto
Exchange (“SYOC”), FX/OTC liquidity solutions and lead generations. |
|
The
Company recognizes the consulting revenues when the customer receives services over the contract length. If the customer pays the
Company in advance for these services, the Company records such payment as deferred revenue until the Company completes the services. |
|
|
|
|
|
Technology
Services |
|
Licensing
of Condor Risk Management Back Office (“Condor Risk Management”), Condor FX Pro Trading Terminal, Condor Pricing Engine,
Crypto Trading Platform (“Crypto Web Trader Platform”), and other cryptocurrency-related solutions. |
|
The
Company recognizes ratably over the contractual period that the services are delivered, beginning on the date such service is made
available to the customer. Licensing agreements are typically one year in length with an option to cancel by giving notice; customers
have the right to terminate their agreements if the Company materially breaches its obligations under the agreement. Licensing agreements
do not provide customers the right to take possession of the software. The Company charges the customers a set-up fee for installing
the platform, and implementation activities are insignificant and not subject to a separate fee. |
|
|
|
|
|
Software
Development |
|
Design
and build development software projects for customers, where the Company develops the project to meet the design criteria and performance
requirements as specified in the contract. |
|
The
Company recognizes the software development revenues when the Customer obtains control of the deliverables as stated in the Statement-of-Work
contract. |
The
Company assumes that the goods or services promised in the existing contract will be transferred to the customer to determine the transaction
price. The Company believes that the contract will not be canceled, renewed, or modified; therefore, the transaction price includes only
those amounts to which the Company has rights under the present contract. For example, if the Company enters into a contract with a customer
with an original term of one year and expects the customer to renew for a second year, the Company would determine the transaction price
based on the initial one-year period. When choosing the transaction price, the company first identifies the fixed consideration, including
non-refundable upfront payment amounts.
To
allocate the transaction price, the Company gives an amount that best represents the consideration that the entity expects to receive
for transferring each promised good or service to the customer. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation
identified in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis to meet the allocation objective. In determining the standalone
selling price, the Company uses the best evidence of the stand-alone selling price that the Company charges to similar customers in similar
circumstances. The Company sometimes uses the adjusted market assessment approach to determine the standalone selling price. It evaluates
the market in which it sells the goods or services and estimates the price that customers in that market would pay for those goods or
services when sold separately.
The
Company recognizes revenue when or as it transfers the promised goods or services in the contract. The Company considers the “transfers”
the promised goods or services when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. The Company believes a customer “obtains
control” of an asset when it can directly use and substantially obtain all the remaining benefits from an asset. The Company recognizes
deferred revenue related to services it will deliver within one year as a current liability. The Company presents deferred revenue related
to services that the Company will provide more than one year into the future as a non-current liability.
For
the period ending December 31, 2019, the Company’s two primary revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:
The
Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement on July 19, 2017, to sell the code, installation, and future development for
two hundred and fifty thousand ($250,000) dollars. The first part was the sale of source code and installation. The second part consisted
of the future development of the Platform, which is not essential to the functionality of the Platform, as third parties or customer(s)
themselves can perform these services. By December 31, 2017, the Company has received two installments totaling one hundred and sixty
thousand ($160,000) dollars for the source code and successful platform installation. The Company has recognized revenue of $160,000
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. On December 31, 2019, the Company wrote off a software development revenue equaling $18,675
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, for accounts receivable, over ninety days. However, in August 2018, the Company signed
the second amendment to the asset purchase agreement. The purchaser issued to the Company seventeen thousand, seven hundred and fifty
dollars ($17,750) as a complete and final settlement of all past delivered services. The Company received the funds in September 2018.
On September 4, 2018, the Company signed the Second Amendment Agreement (‘Second Amendment’) to continue the asset purchase
agreement. The Company signed the First Amendment Agreement signed on July 19, 2017, and August 1, 2017, between the Company and the
Purchaser. Under the Second Amendment, the Company received $80,000 as the second part sold source code in four equal installments of
$20,000 each. The Company received payments by May 5, 2019.
According
to the Second Amendment, the Company identifies two primary ongoing performance obligations in the contract for the following development
services of the Platform:
a)
Customized developments, and
b)
Software updates.
The
Company receives $75 per hour for the first 100 hours/month of approved development services and $45 per hour for all services over 100
hours per month. The Company invoices the Customer for all development services rendered, and any cash received for the development services
is non-refundable.
On
February 5, 2018 (‘Effective Date’), the Company signed an IT support and maintenance agreement (‘IT Agreement’)
with an FX/OTC broker (‘FX Broker’) regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority. The Company earns a recurring monthly
payment from the FX Broker for delivering IT support and maintenance services (‘Services’) to FX Broker’s legacy technology
infrastructure. The term of this Agreement commenced on the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated by either party either
for cause, bankruptcy, and other default clauses. The Company completes and satisfies its performance obligation upon accomplishing all
support and maintenance activities every month. The Company invoices the FX Broker at the beginning of the month for services performed,
delivered, and accepted for the prior month. At the time of the invoice, the Company renders all Services, and any cash received for
Services is non-refundable.
According
to the contract’s terms and conditions, the Company invoices the customer at the beginning of the month for the month’s services.
The invoice amount is due upon receipt. The Company recognizes the revenue at the end of each month, equal to the invoice amount.

Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Cash
Cash
and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with three months or less of
original maturities. The Company maintains its cash balances at a single financial institution. The balances do not exceed Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits as of December 31, 2021. On December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company had $264,829 and $93,546 cash
and cash equivalent held at the financial institution.
Revenues
For
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company had ten (10) and eight (8) active customers. Revenues generated from
the top three (3) customers represented approximately 81.01% and 52.98% of total revenue for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022,
and 2021 respectively.
Accounts
Receivable
At
December 31, 2022, and 2021, the company’s top four (4) customers comprise roughly 89.85% and 100.00% of total A/R, respectively.
The loss of any of the top four (4) customers would significantly impact the Company’s operations.
Research
and Development (R and D) Cost
The
Company acknowledges that future benefits from research and development (R and D) are uncertain and cannot capitalize on the R and D
expenditures. The GAAP accounting standards require us to expense all research and development expenditures as incurred. For the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company incurred $1,800 and $0 R and D costs. In the consolidated income statements, we
have included the R and D costs in the General and Administrative expenses.
Legal
Proceedings
The
Company discloses a loss contingency if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss has been incurred. The Company
records its best estimate of loss related to pending legal proceedings when the loss is probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
The Company can reasonably estimate a range of losses with no best estimate in the range; the Company records the minimum estimated liability.
As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability related to pending legal proceedings, revises
its estimates, and updates its disclosures accordingly. The Company’s legal costs associated with defending itself are recorded
as expenses when incurred. The Company is currently not involved in any litigation.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment following FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. We test long-lived assets for
recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment charge
is recognized if and when the asset’s carrying value exceeds the fair value. There are no impairment charges for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2022, and 2021.
Provision
for Income Taxes
The
provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are based on the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using
the enacted tax rates applicable yearly.
The
Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first
step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than
not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is
to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, more than 50%, is likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers
many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and benefits, requiring periodic adjustments, which may not accurately
forecast actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties for tax contingencies in providing income taxes in the operations’
consolidated statements. The Company’s management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly
in the next twelve (12) months.
Note
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Software
Development Costs
By
ASC 985-20, Software development costs, including costs to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, are capitalized after
establishing technological feasibility, if significant. The Company amortizes the capitalized software development costs using the straight-line
amortization method over the application software’s estimated useful life. By the end of February 2016, the Company completed the
technical feasibility of the Condor FX Back Office, Condor Pro Multi-Asset Trading Platform Version, and Condor Pricing Engine. The Company
established the technical feasibility of the Crypto Web Trader Platform in February 2018. The Company completed the technical feasibility
of the Condor Investing and Trading App in January 2021.
The
Company estimates the useful life of the software to be three (3) years.
Amortization
expenses were $159,051 and $274,462 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively, and the Company classifies such
cost as the Cost of Sales.
The
Company is developing the Condor Investing and Trading App and NFT Marketplace. The Company is currently capitalizing on the costs associated
with the development. The R and D costs in the period ending September 30, 2022, were due to evaluating the technological feasibility
costs of the Robo Advice Platform. The R and D costs in the period ending December 31, 2022, were due to evaluating the technological
feasibility costs of the Condor Investing and Trading App.
The
Company capitalizes major costs incurred during the application development stage for internal-use software.
Convertible
Debentures
The
cash conversion guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, is considered when evaluating the accounting for convertible
debt instruments (this includes certain convertible preferred stock that is classified as a liability) to determine whether the conversion
feature should be recognized as a separate component of equity. The cash conversion guidance applies to all convertible debt instruments
that, upon conversion, may be settled entirely or partially in cash or other assets where the conversion option is not bifurcated and
separately accounted for pursuant to ASC 815.
If
the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide a conversion rate below market value, this feature is characterized
as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The Company records BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, Debt
with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. The
Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
As
of December 31, 2020, the conversion features of conventional FRH Group convertible notes dated February 22, 2016, May 16, 2016, November
17, 2016, and April 24, 2017 (See Note 8) provide for a rate of conversion where the conversion price is below the market value. As a
result, the conversion feature on all FRH Group convertible notes has a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) to the extent
of the price difference.
As
the Company and FRH Group extended the maturity date of the four (4) tranches of convertible notes to June 30, 2021, Management analyzed
the fair value of the BCF on these tranches. The Company noted that the value of the BCF for each note was insignificant; thus, it did
not record debt discounts as of December 31, 2020.
For
FRH Group convertible note dated April 24, 2017, the stock’s value at the issuance date was above the floor conversion price; this
feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The Company records a BCF as a debt discount pursuant
to ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” As a result, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount
related to the BCF. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has amortized the discount of $97,996 to interest expense at the issuance date
because the debt is convertible.
The
$97,996 amount is equal to the intrinsic value, and the Company allocated it to additional paid-in capital in 2017.
Foreign
Currency Translation and Re-measurement
The
Company translates its foreign operations to US dollars following ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.”
We
have translated the local currency of ADS and NSFX in the Australian Dollar (“AUD”) and Euro Dollar (“EUR”),
respectively, into US$1.00 at the following exchange rates for the respective dates:
The
exchange rate at the reporting end date:
SCHEDULE

| 1.522 | |
The
Company ADS’ functional currency is AUD, and the reporting currency is the US dollar. The Company NSFX’s functional
currency is EUR, and its reporting currency is the US dollar.
The
Company translates its records into USD as follows:
|
● |
Assets
and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date |
|
● |
Equities
at the historical rate |
|
● |
Revenue
and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period |
Fair
Value
The
Company uses current market values to recognize certain assets and liabilities at a fair value. The fair value is the estimated price
at which the Company can sell the asset or settle a liability in an orderly transaction to a third party under current market conditions.
The Company uses the following methods and valuation techniques for deriving fair values:
Market
Approach – The market approach uses the prices associated with actual market transactions for similar or identical assets and liabilities
to derive a fair value.
Income
Approach – The income approach uses estimated future cash flows or earnings, adjusted by a discount rate representing the time
value of money and the risk of cash flows not being achieved to derive a discounted present value.
Cost
Approach – The cost approach uses the estimated cost to replace an asset adjusted for the obsolescence of the existing asset.
The
Company ranks the fair value hierarchy of information sources from Level 1 (best) to Level 3 (worst). The Company uses these three levels
to select inputs to valuation techniques:
Level
I |
|
Level
2 |
|
Level
3 |
Level
1 is a quoted price for an identical item in an active market on the measurement date. Level 1 is the most reliable evidence of fair
value and is used whenever this information is available. |
|
Level
2 is directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices. An example of a Level 2 input is a valuation multiple for
a business unit based on comparable companies’ sales, EBITDA, or net income. |
|
Level
3 is an unobservable input. It may include the company’s data, adjusted for other reasonably available information. Examples
of a Level 3 input are an internally-generated financial forecast. |
Basic
and Diluted Loss per Share
The
Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”)
calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares
and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company had 158,048,019 and 86,063,490 weighted average basic and dilutive shares
issued and outstanding, respectively. On December 31, 2020, the Company had 20,000,000 million
potentially dilutive shares related to four (4) outstanding FRH Group convertible notes, which were excluded from the diluted net
loss per share as the effects would have been anti-dilutive.
During
the period ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive due to a net loss. Hence they are not considered
in the computation.
Note
2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Reclassifications
Certain
prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. None of these classifications impacted reported
operating or net loss for any presented period.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition
requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific requirements. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step revenue
recognition process; an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced
disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from customers’ contracts. In August
2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the
effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one (1) year. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts
not completed as of January 1, 2019. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, under ASC 606,
while prior period amounts are reported following legacy GAAP. Refer to Note 2, Revenue from Major Contracts with Customers, for further
discussion on the Company’s accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840) to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing
lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments to
this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments in this standard is
permitted for all entities. The Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified
retrospective approach. The Company adopted this policy as of January 1, 2020, and there is no material affect on its financial reporting.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements
for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to add disclosures regarding changes
in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value
measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The amendments removed and modified certain disclosure requirements
in Topic 820. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Certain amendments are to be applied prospectively, while others are to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.
The
Company adopted the ASU 2018-13 as of January 1, 2020. The Company used the Level 1 Fair Market Measurement to record, at cost, ADS’
intangible assets’ valued at $2,646,615. We evaluate acquired intangible assets for impairment at least annually to confirm if
the carrying amount of acquired intangible assets exceeds their fair value. The acquired intangible assets primarily consist of assets
under management, wealth management license, and our technology. We use various qualitative or quantitative methods for these impairment
tests to estimate the fair value of our acquired intangible assets. We will recognize an impairment charge for the difference if the
fair value is less than its carrying value. The Company did not record impairment for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
ASU
2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in
Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”,
issued in August 2020 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to
present certain conversion features in equity separately. In addition, the amendments also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40,
Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied to classify a contract
as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities.
Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring the use of the if-converted method for all convertible
instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled
in cash or other assets. The amendments are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early
adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The guidance must be adopted as of the beginning
of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect this ASU 2020-06 to impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated
financial statements.
NOTE
3. MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
The
Company has prepared consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
settlement of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary business course. At December 31, 2022, and 2021, the accumulated deficit was
$4,335,053 and $3,230,679, respectively. At December 31, 2022, and 2021, the working capital surplus and the deficit were $541,359
and $199,132, respectively. The increase in the working capital surplus was mainly due to the acquisition of NSFX, resulting in the increase
of current assets over current liabilities as of December 31, 2022.
During
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company incurred a net profit and a net loss of $1,104,374 and $1,736,695.
Since
its inception, the Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company
had $264,829 cash. The Management believes that future cash flows may not be sufficient for the Company to meet its debt obligations
as they become due in the ordinary course of business for twelve (12) months following December 31, 2022. For the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company has earned increased revenues year-over-year and decreased operating expenses as a percentage
of total revenue. As a result, the Company continues to experience limited cash flows from operations and the ongoing requirement for
substantial additional capital investment to develop its financial technologies. The Management expects that it will need to raise significant
additional capital to accomplish its growth plan over the next twelve (12) months. The Management expects to seek to obtain additional
funding through private equity or public markets. However, there can be no assurance about the availability or terms such as financing
and capital might be available.
The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may depend on the Management’s plans discussed below. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company cannot continue as a going concern.
To
the extent the Company’s operations are insufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Management may attempt
to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or
issuance of debt.
The
Management intends to continue its efforts to enhance its revenue from its diversified portfolio of technological solutions, become cash
flow positive, and raise funds through private placement offerings and debt financing. See Note 8 for Notes Payable. As the Company increases
its customer base globally, it intends to acquire long-lived assets that will provide a future economic benefit beyond fiscal 2022.

Note”) under the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).
The funding of the PPP Note is conditioned upon approval of the Company’s application by the Small Business Administration (SBA)

SBA does not confirm the PPP Note’s forgiveness, or only partly confirms forgiveness of the PPP Note, or the Company fails to apply

the PPP Note, including principal and interest (the “PPP Note Balance”). In such case, Bank will establish the terms for
repayment of the PPP Note Balance in a separate letter to be provided to the Company, which letter will set forth the PPP Note Balance,
the amount of each monthly payment, the interest rate (not above a fixed rate of one percent (1.00%) per annum), the term of the PPP
Note, and the maturity date of two (2) years from the funding date of the PPP Note. No principal or interest payments will be due before

In
2022 and 2021, the Company had pre-tax income and losses of $1,104,374 and $1,736,695, respectively, available for carry-forward to offset
future taxable income. The Management has determined to provide full valuation allowances for our net deferred tax assets at the end
of 2022 and 2021, including Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryforwards generated during the years. We could realize our deferred tax assets
based on its evaluation of positive and negative evidence, including our history of operating losses and the uncertainty of generating
future taxable income.
On
December 22, 2017, the United States President signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). The Act amends the Internal
Revenue Code to reduce tax rates and modify individual and business policies, credits, and deductions. The Act reduces the corporate
federal tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a 21% rate for corporations. The rate reduction will take effect on January 1, 2018. Therefore,
we have applied the tax rate of 21% to the ending balance of federal deferred tax assets. As we provided a full valuation allowance against
our net deferred tax assets, we have not recorded any tax impact due to the tax rate change.
Note
12. Income Taxes (continued)
In
assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on generating future taxable income when
those temporary differences become deductible. The Company believes it is unlikely to realize the benefits of NOL carryforward. In recognition
of this risk, we have provided a valuation allowance of $231,919 on the deferred tax assets related to these NOL carryforwards. Suppose
our assumptions change, and we determine that we can realize these NOLs. In that case, the tax benefits related to any reversal of the
valuation allowance on deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022, will be accounted for as follows: the Company will recognize approximately
$231,919 as an increased income tax expense and record $231,919 as a decrease in equity.
Based
on the available objective evidence, management believes it is likely that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable on
December 31, 2022. Accordingly, management maintained a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets on December 31,
2022. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the twelve (12) months ending December 31, 2022, decreased by $142,473. On
December 31, 2022, and 2021, we had federal and state net operating income and loss carry-forwards of approximately $4,335,053 and $3,230,679,
respectively, expiring in 2037 for the federal and 2037 for the state.
For
the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company analyzed its ASC 740 position and had not identified any uncertain tax positions
defined under ASC 740. Should such a position be identified in the future, and if the Company owes interest and penalties, these would
be recognized as interest expense and other expense, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements.
The
Company has identified the United States Federal tax returns as its “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company has submitted and
received acceptance of the United States Federal return for 2022 and 2021. The Company was not subject to tax examination by authorities
in the United States before 2016. The State Franchise Tax return for 2022 and 2021 has been submitted and accepted by Delaware State
Franchise Tax Board. Currently, the Company does not have any ongoing tax examinations.
As
of December 31, 2022, the Company has assessed federal and state payroll tax payments in the aggregate amount of $204,828, and we have
included it in the General and administrative expenses. The Company has no foreign tax expenses and liabilities as of December 31, 2022,
and 2021.
NOTE
13. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements affecting our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support, credit risk support, or other
benefits.

trading brokerage firm regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). The Company will assume a business acquisition loan
liability of $350,000 to purchase the controlling interest in NSFX. The Company amended the Agreement to February 28, 2023, to comply
with the BVI Companies Act requirement for the change of ownership. The Company expects to consolidate the fair value of NSFX’s
assets and liabilities on or after February 28, 2023 but no later than June 30, 2023..
