NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2017



1.

Description of Business

Business

CoConnect, Inc. is a Nevada corporation. We currently have no operations and have been engaged in efforts to identify an operating company to acquire or merge with through an equity­based exchange transaction. Since our planned principal operations have not yet commenced, our activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need to obtain additional financing, as described below.

Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our stockholders. It is anticipated that the consummation by us of a merger transaction would result in a change in control which would be accounted for as a reverse merger. Accordingly, the operating company would be referred to as the legal acquiree and accounting acquirer, and we would be referred to as the legal acquirer and the accounting acquiree. As a result, at and subsequent to closing of any such transaction, the financial statements of the operating company would become our financial statements for all periods presented.

2.

Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments, which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, and that affect the amounts reported in our unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which we consider necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding quarter or for the entire fiscal year. The information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 to the financial statements included in Item 8 of our annual report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2016. There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the interim period ended June 30, 2017.

3.

Going Concern

Our unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred a net loss of approximately $13,000, had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $40,000 and had a working capital deficit of approximately $58,000. We have financed our recent working capital requirements primarily through the issuance of equity securities. As a result, management believes there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is seeking to identify an operating company and engage in a merger or business combination of some kind, or acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in a business that generates sustained revenues. We are considering several potential acquisitions and is investigating various candidates to determine whether they would have the potential to add value to us for the benefit of our stockholders.

We do not intend to restrict our consideration to any particular business or industry segment, and we may consider, among other businesses, finance, brokerage, insurance, transportation, communications, services, natural resources, manufacturing or technology. Because we have limited resources, the scope and number of suitable candidates to merge with is relatively limited. Because we may participate in a business opportunity with a newly formed firm, a firm that is in the development stage, or a firm that is entering a new phase of growth, we may incur further risk due to the inability of the target’s management to have proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the lack of an established market for the target’s products or services, or the inability to reach profitability in the next few years.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2017



Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders. As it is expected that the closing of such a transaction will result in a change in control, such transaction is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger, with the operating company being considered the legal acquiree and accounting acquirer, and we would be considered the legal acquirer and the accounting acquiree. As a result, at and subsequent to closing of any such transaction, the financial statements of the operating company would become our financial statements for all periods presented.

4.

New Accounting Pronouncement

We have evaluated all issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and determined that they are either immaterial or not relevant to us.

5.

Deferred Transaction Costs

In April 2017, we received a non-refundable commitment fee of $50,000 from a third-party pursuant to a non-binding letter of intent to enter into a proposed merger transaction. The terms of the letter of intent provided for the non-refundable commitment fee to be used for specific payments of accounts payable and costs related to the proposed transaction. As of June 30, 2017, no merger transaction had been effected.

6.

Related Party Transactions

Effective May 1, 2014, Bennett J. Yankowitz was appointed as our President, Secretary, Treasurer and sole director. Mr. Yankowitz devotes approximately 10% of his time on an annual basis to matters involving us with no compensation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, Bamboo Holdings, LLC, which is owned by Mr. Yankowitz, advanced us approximately $1,000 for working capital purposes, which was repaid during the three months ended June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017 there were no amounts payable to Bamboo Holdings, LLC.

Prior to December 31, 2016, PacificWave Partners Limited had advanced us approximately $4,000 for working capital purposes, which was repaid during the three months ended June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our advances payable to PacificWave Partners Limited was $0 and approximately $4,000, respectively.

On November 23, 2015,  we reserved 333,333 shares of our common stock and 114,334 shares of our common stock for future issuance to PacificWave Partners Limited and Henrik Rouf, the owner of PacificWave Partners Limited and our Assistant Secretary, respectively, for an aggregate price of approximately $447,000 or $1.00 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, none of the shares reserved for future issuance were issued.

7.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period plus additional weighted-average common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, the proceeds of which are then assumed to have been used to repurchase outstanding common stock using the treasury stock method. In addition, the numerator is adjusted for any changes in income that would result from the assumed conversion of potential shares. There were no potentially dilutive shares which would have the effect of being antidilutive.

8.

Stockholders’ Deficit

On November 23, 2015, we reserved 333,333 shares of our common stock and 114,334 shares of our common stock for future issuance to PacificWave Partners Limited and Henrik Rouf, the owner of PacificWave Partners Limited and our Assistant Secretary, respectively, for an aggregate price of approximately $447,000 or $1.00 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016, none of the shares reserved for future issuance were issued.

9.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in

the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance has been recorded to offset all deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of realizing the tax benefits of the underlying operating loss and tax credit carry forwards over their carry forward periods. We have no significant deferred tax liabilities as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. We evaluate this tax position on a quarterly basis. We also accrue for potential interest and penalties, if applicable, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required.

10.

Legal Proceedings

Other than as stated herein, we are not a party to any other legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, which we believe will not have a material affect on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2016, Investment Services V Devkom International, LLC (“Devkom”), one of our former controlling shareholders, filed a complaint in the Eighth Judicial District Court for Clark County, Nevada against us, PacificWave Partners Limited (“PWP”), PWP’s principal, Henrik Rouf, Bennett Yankowitz, our President and sole director, and Mr. Yankowitz’s former law firm. The complaint contained several claims for relief arising out of an alleged breach of a contract between Devkom and PWP for the purchase of a controlling interest in our stock in May 2014. The breach alleged was the failure of PWP to pay approximately $76,000 to Devkom under the terms of the contract. Other claims included breach of an implied escrow agreement, conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, and fraud. Devkom sought to recover general, exemplary and punitive damages. In August 2016, the Court dismissed the complaint without prejudice.

In June 2017, Devkom filed a similar complaint against the same defendants in the Superior Court of California for the County of San Diego. In June 2017, we and PWP filed a motion to quash the service of the summons and complaint in the action on the grounds that the Court has no jurisdiction over the Company or PWP and that service was defective. At the same time, Mr. Yankowitz and his former law firm filed demurrers to all of the causes of action specified in the complaint.

A hearing on the motion to quash and the demurrers was held on January 5, 2018. The Court made a tentative ruling upholding our motion to quash, which if finalized, will have the effect of dismissing us as a defendant in the suit. A further hearing is scheduled for February 2, 2018.

11.

Subsequent Events

We evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date when we issued these unaudited condensed financial statements. Other than the legal proceedings discussed in Note 10, we did not have any material recognizable subsequent events during this period.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This section and other parts of this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements also can be identified by words such as “future,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the actual results of CoConnect, Inc. (“we,” “us,” or the “Company”) may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q under the heading “Risk Factors,” which are incorporated herein by reference. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our year ended 2016 Form 10-K and the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. We assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

Overview

CoConnect, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), has been engaged in efforts to identify an operating company which we can acquire or into which we can merge through an equity-based exchange transaction that would likely result in a change in control with respect to us. As our planned principal operations have not yet commenced, our activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need to obtain additional financing, as described below.

Our unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred a net loss of approximately $13,000, had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $40,000 and had a working capital deficit of approximately $58,000. We have financed our recent working capital requirements primarily through the issuance of equity securities. As a result, management believes there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are summarized in Note 3 to our financial statements included in Item 8 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. However, certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by our management, and such judgments are reflected in the amounts reported in our financial statements. In applying these policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of estimates. Those estimates are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observance of market trends, information provided by our strategic partners and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates contained in our unaudited condensed financial statements. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 vs. June 30, 2016

Revenues

We had no revenue generating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were approximately $10,000 as compared with approximately $3,000 for the prior year period, an increase of approximately $7,000. The increase is primarily a result of professional fees incurred in the preparation of financial statements.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 vs. June 30, 2016

Revenues

We had no revenue generating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.




- 9 -





General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were approximately $13,000 as compared with approximately $6,000 for the prior year period, an increase of approximately $7,000. The increase is primarily a result of professional fees incurred in the preparation of financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had cash of approximately $6,000 and $0, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we had net cash outflows of approximately $40,000 from operating activities as compared with net cash outflows of approximately $2,000 for the prior year period. The net increase in cash outflows of approximately $38,000 from the prior year period is primarily a result of the payment of professional and accounting fees during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we had net cash inflows from financing activities of approximately $46,000 primarily due to the deferred transaction costs of $50,000 received in connection with a non-binding letter of intent to be used in connection with a contemplated merger transaction.

Our unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred a net loss of approximately $13,000, had negative cash flows from operations of approximately $40,000 and had a working capital deficit of approximately $58,000. We have financed our recent working capital requirements primarily through the issuance of equity securities. As a result, management believes there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.



Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not required pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

The certificates of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, in paragraph 4 of such certifications, information concerning the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting. Such certifications should be read in conjunction with the information contained in this Item 4 for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by such certifications.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its chief executive officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that any system of controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and that management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017, the Company’s chief executive officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.



- 10 -





Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management, including our CEO, does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II.

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

Other than as stated herein, we are not a party to any other legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, which we believe will not have a material affect on our financial position or results of operations.

In May 2016, Investment Services V Devkom International, LLC (“Devkom”), one of our former controlling shareholders, filed a complaint in the Eighth Judicial District Court for Clark County, Nevada against us, PacificWave Partners Limited (“PWP”), PWP’s principal, Henrik Rouf, Bennett Yankowitz, our President and sole director, and Mr. Yankowitz’s former law firm. The complaint contained several claims for relief arising out of an alleged breach of a contract between Devkom and PWP for the purchase of a controlling interest in our stock in May 2014. The breach alleged was the failure of PWP to pay approximately $76,000 to Devkom under the terms of the contract. Other claims included breach of an implied escrow agreement, conversion, breach of fiduciary duty, and fraud. Devkom sought to recover general, exemplary and punitive damages. In August 2016, the Court dismissed the complaint without prejudice.

In June 2017, Devkom filed a similar complaint against the same defendants in the Superior Court of California for the County of San Diego. In June 2017, we and PWP filed a motion to quash the service of the summons and complaint in the action on the grounds that the Court has no jurisdiction over the Company or PWP and that service was defective. At the same time, Mr. Yankowitz and his former law firm filed demurrers to all of the causes of action specified in the complaint.

A hearing on the motion to quash and the demurrers was held on January 5, 2018. The Court made a tentative ruling upholding our motion to quash, which if finalized, will have the effect of dismissing us as a defendant in the suit. A further hearing is scheduled for February 2, 2018.
