Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2017
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
AlphaPoint’s principal objective is to partner with innovative Blockchain technology focused companies that are interested in pursuing growth through the public markets. We are aggressively assembling a portfolio of high-quality businesses and establishing a sustainable business model, to achieve superior and sustainable financial results.
We intend to accomplish these objectives through targeted strategic acquisitions and partnerships. We seek companies that either strategically fit within our existing business portfolio or expand our business into new and attractive target markets. Given the rapid pace of Blockchain technological development and the specialized expertise typical of our served markets, acquisitions also provide us important access to new technologies and domain expertise.
AlphaPoint’s business units will typically operate as stand-alone operations but are supported by a seasoned executive team and a shared technology and administrative infrastructure. While the circumstances of every transaction are unique, we prefer to partner with top caliber executives, and skilled management teams of middle-market businesses and support them with the necessary tools to build each company into a leader in its segment. We believe this philosophy enables us to combine talents and technologies, share services and benefit from a range of centrally managed initiatives while maintaining the uniqueness and brand equity and culture of each unit and a decentralized decision-making structure.
AlphaPoint leverages the vast experience that its executive team has amassed in creating the suitable financial architecture. Including its expertise in the public sector, follow-on offerings, private placements, other financial know-how as well as, the organizational frameworks (executive strategy and leadership, key C-level and technical staffing, supply chain development, etc.), that are critical, yet often beyond the means and experience of private companies.
All references to the previously acquired businesses have been removed for this quarterly report.
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of (a) the consolidated financial position at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and (b) the consolidated statements of loss, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 have been made.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been omitted. The accompanying statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations that follows is based upon our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The application of GAAP requires the management to make assumptions, judgments and estimates that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosures regarding these items. We base the assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial condition or results of operations will be affected. On a regular basis, we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates.
- 5 -
We believe that the assumptions, judgments and estimates involved in the accounting for stock-based compensation and income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. These areas are key components of our results of operations and are based on complex rules which require us to make judgments and estimates. Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates in accordance with our critical accounting policies have not materially differed from actual results.
Fair Value Measurements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement applies whenever other statements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.
At each balance sheet date, the Company performs an analysis of all instruments subject to fair value measurement. The Company applied ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. As of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017 the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their historical carrying amount.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased which are readily convertible to cash.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is generally recognized when:
● | Evidence of an arrangement exists; |
|
|
● | Delivery has occurred; |
|
|
● | Fees are fixed or determinable; and |
|
|
● | Collection is considered probable. |
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purpose, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. A valuation allowance may be applied against the net deferred tax due to the uncertainty of its ultimate realization.
Deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance, because at this time the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the future tax benefit will not be realized as the Company has a history of net operating losses.
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares plus any potentially dilutive shares. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments and, thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable.
Risks and concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash in banks in excess of federally insured amounts. The Company manages this risk by maintaining all deposits in high quality financial institutions.

2. Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a history of losses resulting in an accumulated deficit. The Company has been dependent on financing from its majority shareholder and related parties to meet its operating obligations. In view of these matters, there is doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to identify revenue sources and to achieve a level of profitability. The Company intends on financing its future development activities, marketing plan and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”, which provides guidance on specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this ASU in the quarter ended September 30, 2016. There have been no changes in our reported statements of cash flows as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-15.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The updated guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendment to the standard became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption was permitted for any interim or annual period. The Company has determined that the impact on its consolidated financial statements was immaterial.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. This standard requires the lessee to recognize virtually all of their leases on the balance sheet, by recording a right-of-use asset and lease liability. Public business entities will be required to adopt this standard for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this standard. The new leasing standard requires modified retrospective transition, which requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the year of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard in order to determine the impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The updated guidance enhances the reporting model for financial instruments, which includes amendments to address aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. The amendment to the standard is effective for the Company beginning on June 1, 2018. While the Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard, it does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. Under the new accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be classified as noncurrent, eliminating the prior requirement to separate deferred tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent. The new guidance became effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The standard may be adopted prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company determined that adoption of this guidance does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
- 7 -
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15 “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements”, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. The FASB further clarified that for line-of-credit arrangements an entity can continue to defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The new guidance should be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. Additionally, the guidance requires disaggregated disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. The amendments are required to be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018. Transition to the new guidance may be done using either a full or modified retrospective method. The Company is currently evaluating the full effect that the adoption of this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
4. Contingencies
Some of the officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available. They may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts. In addition, officers and certain members of upper management have executed employment agreements with the Company, which include, among other things, bonuses contingent on the achievement of certain performance targets and provisions for severance payments in the event of termination without cause.
Litigation
From time to time the Company may become a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company. Current regulations and reporting requirements require the Company to disclose any legal proceedings that are ongoing and could have a material impact on the financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. We know of no active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any active or pending legal proceedings that are material. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, sole officers or affiliates, or any registered beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.
5. Subsequent Events
On April 13, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a Board resolution to reward James Whelan with 250,000 shares of common stock for his ongoing technical leadership in the development a Blockchain framework for the Company.
On April 14, 2018 the Board of Directors approved a Board resolution to issue American Capital Ventures and Leone Group, LLC., 3,850,000 shares of common stock, each, for their capital raise efforts and legal and compliance guidance respectively.
The issuance of the common stock was made pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
AlphaPoint Technology, Inc. (“AlphaPoint”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 13, 2008.
AlphaPoint has developed a patent-pending software application called AssetCentral (AC). Through AssetCentral use cases we have identified the grow complexity and scope with the current methodology and issues with Software Asset Management (SAM), and the increasing difficulties in disconnecting software assets that companies use, from their stakeholders. By leveraging AC’s patent pending processes with Blockchain technology, AC will connect software and hardware entitlements to their licenses and components with the software decision makers, to drive automation with transparency to reduce SAM content, effort, and cost. AlphaPoint’s Blockchain auditing tool will assist companies with their compliance audits, internal controls, and best business practices.
AlphaPoint management is currently seeking alternative opportunities in line with their original strategy of acquiring a business in the Blockchain technology sector that is capable of growth and development.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017
Our consolidated revenues were $0 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Operating expenses were $84,922 and $105,529 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in year over year expenses resulted mainly from the Company’s efforts at streamlining operations.
Net losses incurred in the periods presented have been primarily due to operating costs. The Company incurred net losses of $84,922 and $105,529 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, at March 31, 2018, we had a deficit in working capital, an accumulated deficit and a net loss and loss.
At March 31, 2018, the Company had current assets of approximately $1,648 and current liabilities of approximately $816,023, resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $814,375.
We depend on advances from shareholders, to meet any shortfall in meeting our obligations. However, we will require working capital to meet our current shortfall in working capital. If the Company is unable to raise the funds partially through stock offerings, the Company will seek alternative financing through means such as borrowings from institutions or private individuals. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such funds.
Consequently, there is doubt about the Company’s ability to continue to operate as a going concern. As reflected in the consolidated financial statements we have an accumulated deficit from inception of $4,275,191 as of March 31, 2018 and have a loss from continuing operations of $84,922 and $105,529 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and execution of its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, the Company may be forced to seek a buyer for our business or another entity with which we could create a joint venture.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and execution of its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
- 9 -
Recent Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. Our Board of Directors consists of eight (8) individuals who advise our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Our chief executive officer makes decisions on all significant corporate matters such as the approval of terms of the compensation of our executive officers.
The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. The Company is in the process of introducing them. The Company has not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committees of our board of directors. If we expand our board membership in future periods to include additional independent directors, the Company may seek to establish an audit and other committees of our Board of Directors. It is possible that if our Board of Directors included independent directors and if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting guidance.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

In order to continue to protect and increase shareholder value, management believes that it may, from time to time, consider alternative management strategies to create value for the company or additional revenues. Strategies to be reviewed may include acquisitions, roll-ups, strategic alliances, joint ventures on large projects, and/or mergers.
Management will only consider these options where it believes the result would be to increase shareholder value while continuing the viability of the company.
INFLATION
The effect of inflation on our revenues and operating results has not been significant.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
When we prepare our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts we report. Certain of these estimates result from judgments that can be subjective and complex. As a result of that subjectivity and complexity, and because we continuously evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on a variety of factors, actual results could materially differ from our estimates and assumptions if changes in one or more factors require us to make accounting adjustments. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we reassessed our critical accounting policies and estimates as disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K; however, we have made no material changes or additions with regard to those policies and estimates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but 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 of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2018. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of March 31, 2018, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the purposes for which it is intended, due to a material weakness related to the lack of an audit committee.
Management intends to give consideration to adopting a more rigorous corporate governance, including the formation of an audit committee in the future.
