Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.

 

Description of Our Company

 

Company Overview

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 31, 2013 as Artesanias Corp.  Our original business plan involved distribution of the arts and crafts of the indigenous tribes of Panama via the Internet. On January 20, 2015, we underwent a change in control when our former majority shareholder and sole officer, Jose Soto, sold his controlling interest and resigned after appointing our current CEO and Director, Chitan Mistry, and our former CFO and Director, Lucie Lettelier. Following the change in control, we are no longer pursuing our original business plan. On June 12, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company changed the name from Artesanias Corp. to SocialPlay USA, Inc. to reflect the business focus of the Company.

 

On April 27, 2015, we entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Social Play, Inc. (“Social Play”). Under the Agreement, we have been granted the exclusive rights within the U.S. and Canada to develop, market and sell products and services based upon Social Play’s patent-pending “SP Cloud Goods” system. SP Cloud Goods is cloud-based game hosting and management system where video game developers can add and remove virtual goods from the game, manage players, manage virtual store pricing, and view vital game and player statistics.  Using this system, game developers can affect their games in real-time, without the need to rebuild or republish the game. The SP Cloud Goods intellectual property also includes a system for game developers to collect payments for virtual goods sold to players in their games, as well as a marketplace component that will allow advertisers and game developers to choose where, when, and how advertisements are placed in games. The system will also facilitate the transfer of funds from advertisers to game developers.

 

The Agreement runs for an initial term of five (5) years, with an optional extension for an additional five years. In consideration for the license, we agreed to issue Social Play 1,000,000 (200,000 after reverse split) shares of common stock and an additional 1,000,000 (200,000 after reverse split) shares on each anniversary of the Agreement for so long as it is in effect. Further, we agreed to make cash payments to Social Play in the total amount of $120,000, payable in monthly payments of not less than $20,000 until paid in full.

 

On August 22, 2016, the board of directors appointed Robert Rosner as our new President, CEO, CFO and Director. Following these appointments, the board accepted the resignation of Chitan Mistry as our former sole officer and director.

 

Letter of Intent with Spot and Play, Inc.

On March 11, 2017, we entered into a binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Spot and Play, Inc. (“Spot and Play”) and its sole shareholder, Karthik Mani. Spot and Play is developing the “Spot and Pay” application, which provides a way to centralize payment or donate money using a unique business code in form of a visual code at location, or using business name if remote. The LOI contemplates our acquisition of up to 100% of Spot and Play for a total purchase price of $1,000,000. Our initial investment will consist of $300,000 in cash, to be paid for a 30% ownership interest in Spot and Play. These funds are to be paid as follows: (i) $50,000 to be paid upon execution of the LOI, (ii) an additional $100,000 to be paid upon certain development milestones for Spot and Play’s business, and no later than 15 days after the execution of a definitive agreement, and (iii) the final $150,000 upon Spot and Play’s achievement of certain additional milestones, and no later than 75 days after the execution of a definitive agreement.

 3 

Further, we will be granted the exclusive option to purchase the remaining 70% of Spot and Play to be paid as follows: (i) issuance of shares of our common stock valued at $200,000, no later than 150 days from execution of a definitive agreement, in order to purchase an additional 19% of Spot and Play, and (ii) issuance of shares of our common stock valued at $500,000, no later than 180 days from execution of a definitive agreement, in order to purchase the remaining 51% of Spot and Play. Shares issued as purchase consideration will be valued based on the five-day average trading price of our common stock immediately preceding their issuance. Shares to be issued as consideration for our acquisition of Spot and Play will be subject to a one (1) year lock-up, with certain leak-out restrictions on their re-sale thereafter. Upon our acquisition of 100% of the ownership interests in Spot and Play, Mr. Mani will be granted a royalty based on the gross profits of Spot and Play, with specific royalty terms to be negotiated.

On April 9, 2018, we entered into a definitive Share Exchange and Funding Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Spot and Pay, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Spot and Pay”). Under the Agreement, the Company is acquiring a 90% ownership stake in Spot and Pay.

 

Under the Agreement, we acquired 90% of the outstanding capital stock of Spot and Pay from its founder and sole shareholder, Karthikeyan Mani. In exchange, the Company has agreed to issue Mr. Mani 500,000 shares of the common stock of the Company. The Company has agreed to provide a total of $300,000 in funding for development of the Spot & Pay platform. The $300,000 includes $50,000 paid previously to Spot and Pay, together with an additional $250,000 to be paid in one or more tranches over the next 180 days. The Spot & Pay platform as developed after the Agreement will be considered work-for-hire belonging to SocialPlay USA, Inc. Mr. Mani and Spot and Pay will use their best efforts to develop the mobile payment platform, with Mr. Mani to be bound by a two-year non-competition agreement following the conclusion of such efforts. In the event that the Company fails to fund the full $300,000 within 180 days from the Agreement, the Spot and Pay shares acquired by the Company and the Company’s shares issued to Mr. Mani will be returned in part based on a sliding scale set forth in the Agreement.

 

The Company's software development plan has evolved to include a substantially more robust proprietary platform wallet feature that will allow users to create their own wallet so that they may buy and sell bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies directly from the Spot&Pay platform. It also provides seamless abilities to transfer money within the Spot&Pay user network instantly from one account to another without any processing delays. As part of its strategy going forward, SocialPlay will focus significant development efforts on the integration of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies into its product offerings. 

Working with Spot and Pay, we have recently integrated Bitcoin payments into the Spot&Pay mobile payment platform. Bitcoin is the first digital currency to be added to the existing Spot&Pay payment system infrastructure and allows users an additional choice when it comes to paying for goods and services. In addition to the current method of paying by credit card or direct debit, users can scan a QR code and choose the Bitcoin payment option on the checkout screen. If Bitcoin is selected, Spot&Pay will connect to our gateway and generate the URL for the user to complete the transaction by opening their Bitcoin wallet and providing payment for the purchase.

The Spot&Pay platform is now integrated with Bitpay, a leading Bitcoin payment gateway and digital currency wallet service and is available on both IOS and Android apps. As the digital currency market continues to grow, Spot and Pay plans to add other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Ripple, and Speedcoin options to its payment solutions.

Additionally, we are in the initial stages of planning and developing our own reward based cryptocurrency, which will form the basis of a planned strategic User Loyalty Program.

Letter of Intent with Friendship Socks, Inc.

On May 30, 2017, we entered into a binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Friendship Socks, Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“Friendship Socks”). Friendship Socks is a company that manufactures a line of unique designer socks in the USA and markets its products online. The company leverages social media to connect people through the gifting of a pair of socks. The LOI contemplates our acquisition of a 33% ownership interest in Friendship Socks for a total purchase price of $150,000. Our initial investment will consist of $50,000 in cash to be delivered immediately for an 11% ownership interest in Friendship Socks. Upon the parties’ execution of a definitive acquisition agreement, we have agreed to acquire an additional 11% interest in exchange for an additional $50,000 upon Friendship Socks achievement of certain business milestones within 30 days of the execution of the definitive agreement. The final 11% ownership interest will be acquired for a final $50,000 upon Friendship Socks achievement of certain additional business milestones within 60 days of the execution of the definitive agreement. Upon completion of all payments as set forth above, Friendship Socks shall immediately issue sufficient shares of its capital in the name of the Company equal to 33% of its issued and outstanding stock. Should the definitive acquisition agreement not be entered into, we shall receive 11% equity interest in Friendship Socks as a result of the initial $50,000 Investment. In the event that the definitive agreement is executed but Friendship Socks does not achieve the specified milestones, we will have the option to waive the milestones and proceed with acquisition of the additional 22% ownership interest or, in the alternative, to terminate the agreement without penalty. Finally, the LOI specifies that will have the right of first refusal with regard to any additional equity investment, loan, or other financing for Friendship Socks. On November 8, 2017 we advanced $30,000 to Friendship Socks.

Although the agreements with Spot and Play and Friendship Socks have not been extended in writing or amended, the parties to both agreements remain verbally committed to moving forward, and we are working toward completing these acquisitions.

Penny Stock

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

 

 6 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

 

Outstanding Options, Warrants or Convertible Debt

 

We have no outstanding options or warrants. For a description of our outstanding convertible debt, please see the discussion under Liquidity and Capital Resources.

 

Holders of Our Common Stock

Dividends

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends.  The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

1.   we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;
2.   our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

We have not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. We did not declare any dividends in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2017, we had cash of $6,157. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2017, were $470,610, and consisted of accounts payable of $144,874, accrued liabilities of $63,182 and payable to related parties of $133,817. We had negative working capital of $334,453 as of December 31, 2017. Long term liabilities comprised convertible promissory notes net of discount in the amount of $128,737.

 

At December 31, 2016, we had cash of $2,865. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2016, were $322,164, and consisted of accounts payable of $127,956, accrued liabilities of $60,391 and payable to related parties of $133,817. We had negative working capital of $319,299 as of December 31, 2016. Long term liabilities comprised convertible promissory notes net of discount in the amount of $107,629, and derivative liabilities of $318,234. We had no long term liabilities as of December 31, 2016. 

 

Cash Used in Operating Activities. Operating Activities used $201,208 in cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Operating Activities used $107,654 in cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Cash Used in Investing Activities. Investing Activities used $130,000 in cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Investing Activities used $Nil in cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. During the year ended December 31, 2017, financing activities provided $334,500 in cash, all from the issuance of convertible promissory notes.  During the year ended December 31, 2016, financing activities provided $110,450 in cash, all from the issuance of convertible promissory notes.

 

In 2015, we relied upon financing in the form of Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) from CMGT, Inc. (“CMGT”). Each of the Notes bears interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per year, with the principal and accrued interest being due one year from the date of issue. We may prepay the Notes in whole or in part without penalty. The Notes are convertible at a price equal to sixty percent (60%) of the market price for our common stock, which is defined as the average of the lowest three closing bid prices for our common stock in the ten trading days preceding the conversion. The conversion price of the Notes is also subject to adjustment in the event of certain stock issuances which are lower than the conversion price otherwise in effect at the time of the conversion. In addition, CMGT’s right to convert is limited such that no conversion can be made which would result in CMGT or its affiliates owning more than 4.99% of our issued and outstanding common stock following the conversion. This limit may be waived at CMGT option with 61 days’ prior notice. 

 

On January 11, 2016, the Company consolidated all of its obligations to CMGT under a single Convertible Promissory Note due June 1, 2018 (the “Note”) and recognized gain on extinguishment of debt amounting to $11,462. The Note bears interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per year, with all principal and interest due on or before June 1, 2018. Under the Note, the Company is obligated to pay quarterly payments of interest only commencing March 31, 2016. The Company may prepay the Note in whole or in part without penalty. CMGT’s right to convert is limited such that no conversion can be made which would result in CMGT or its affiliates owning more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company following the conversion.

 

Effective February 17, 2017, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Convertible Promissory Note (the “Amendment”) with CMGT. Under the Amendment, the Company modified the conversion feature of the Note so that the conversion price for all amounts owing thereunder is now $0.10 per share of common stock. In addition, the Amendment waives the Company’s prior defaults in payment of interest under the Note in the amount of $44,289, and adds such sum to the principal balance of the Note. The Company is now required to make quarterly interest payments commencing September 30, 2017. The amendment resulted in the extinguishing of the old notes and re-issuance according to the new terms and discounts.

 

On April 28, 2017 the Company made an amendment on all its outstanding notes having face value of $436,141, removing all dilutive and reset provisions from these notes, therefore ending derivative treatment. The notes issued subsequent to amendment did not require derivative valuations.

 

As of June 1, 2018, we had received the advances under from CMGT, each of which is covered  by the Consolidated Note. :

 

Issue Date Maturity Date Note Amount $ Interest Rate Per Annum
January 11, 2016 June 1, 2018* 241,047 10%
February 12, 2016 June 1, 2018* 9,000 10%
February 23, 2016 June 1, 2018* 10,850 10%

Our ability to continue operations and to develop our planned business will be contingent upon us obtaining additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity. The debt and/or equity financing arrangements available to us, if any, may be insufficient to fund significant capital expenditures, working capital, or other cash requirements. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2017, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred a loss of $451,932 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and have not yet developed a reliable source of revenue. To date, we have been dependent on funding operations through the sale of debt and equity securities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

At this time, we do not have any accounting policies which we believe meet this definition.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this ASU require that the company apply modification accounting when the company changes the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. They became effective for public business entities in the annual period ending after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application permitted. Management does not expect to have a significant impact of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).

 

  I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features

 

  II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception

 

The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments.

 

The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect.

 

The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. Part I becomes effective for public business entities in the annual period ending after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application permitted. Management does not expect to have a significant impact of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements. The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect

 

In February 2016, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to replace existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. Expenses associated with leases will continue to be recognized in a manner similar to current accounting guidance. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis for each prior reporting period presented. The Company has not yet determined the effect that the adoption of this pronouncement may have on the consolidated financial position and/or results of operations.

 

In November 2015, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes within the balance sheet. This pronouncement eliminates the requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as current or noncurrent based on the nature of the underlying assets and liabilities. Instead, the pronouncement requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances, be classified as noncurrent. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the financial position and/or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of SocialPlay USA, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SocialPlay USA, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017 and related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has experienced recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2017

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS 

The Company was incorporated on December 31, 2013 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Artesanias Corp. (the “Company”). On June 12, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company changed the name from Artesanias Corp. to SocialPlay USA, Inc. to reflect the business focus of the Company. The Company plans to develop a business that provides marketing, monetization, and support services for the companies in gaming and mobile application markets. On January 10, 2017, the former majority shareholder sold 7,082,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s current President and CEO, Robert Rosner, in a private transaction. As result of this transaction, a change in control of the company occurred. 

 

The Company has limited operations and is considered to be in the development stage.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.

 

3. GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $2,115,594 and a working capital deficit of $334,453 as of December 31, 2017. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. The Company is contemplating conducting an offering of its debt or equity securities to obtain additional operating capital. The Company is dependent upon its ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure equity and/or debt financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful and without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas involving significant estimates and assumptions include valuation of certain financial instruments, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, accruals, and going concern assessment.  These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

SocialPlay USA, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2017

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company did not have cash equivalents as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Concentration of Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. The Company did not have cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company provides for federal and provincial income taxes payable, as well as for those deferred because of the timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Under ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no deferred taxes due to the uncertainty of the realization of net operating loss or carry forward prior to expiration.

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the loss of the entity. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there are no outstanding dilutive securities.

 

Convertible Notes Payable and Derivative Instruments

 

The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. ASC 815 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional, as defined by ASC 815-40.

 

The Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.

 

Valuation of Derivatives

 

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. The Company analyzed the derivative financial instruments (the Convertible Notes), in accordance with ASC 815. The objective is to provide guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This determination is needed for a scope exception which would enable a derivative instrument to be accounted for under the accrual method. The classification of a non-derivative instrument that falls within the scope of ASC 815-40-05 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” also hinges on whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entity’s own stock cannot be classified as equity and must be accounted for as a liability. There is a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed to an entity’s own stock. First, the instrument's contingent exercise provisions, if any, must be evaluated, followed by an evaluation of the instrument's settlement provisions. The Company utilized multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liability within the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The Company utilized the fair value standard ASC 820 set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, defined as the amount at which the assets (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

 

The derivative liabilities result in a reduction of the initial carrying amount (as unamortized discount) of the Convertible Notes. This derivative liability is marked-to-market each quarter with the change in fair value recorded in the income statement. Unamortized discount is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the Convertible Note. If the Note is converted or the warrants are exercised, the derivative liability is released and recorded as additional paid in capital.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 3 - Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

 

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or interest rates that are comparable to market rates. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and convertible promissory notes. The Company’s bank accounts are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit, and therefore, bear minimal credit risk and are carried at amortized costs which approximates the fair value.

 

Contingencies

 

The Company is not currently a party to any pending or threatened legal proceedings.  Based on information currently available, management is not aware of any matters that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

5. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this ASU require that the company apply modification accounting when the company changes the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. They became effective for public business entities in the annual period ending after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application permitted. Management does not expect to have a significant impact of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).

  I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features

  II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception

The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments.

The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. 

The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. Part I becomes effective for public business entities in the annual period ending after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application permitted. Management does not expect to have a significant impact of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements. The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect.

In February 2016, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to replace existing lease accounting guidance. This pronouncement is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. Expenses associated with leases will continue to be recognized in a manner similar to current accounting guidance. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis for each prior reporting period presented. The Company has not yet determined the effect that the adoption of this pronouncement may have on the consolidated financial position and/or results of operations. 

In November 2015, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes within the balance sheet. This pronouncement eliminates the requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as current or noncurrent based on the nature of the underlying assets and liabilities. Instead, the pronouncement requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances, be classified as noncurrent. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2017, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the financial position and/or results of operations.

In May 2014, an accounting pronouncement was issued by the FASB to clarify existing guidance on revenue recognition. This guidance includes the required steps to achieve the core principle that a company should 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. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The guidance permits the use of one of two retrospective transition methods. The Company will adopt the standard on March 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the combined financial position and/or results of operations.

6. DEPOSITS FOR INVESTMENT

On March 11, 2017, the Company entered into a binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with Spot and Pay, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“Spot and Pay”). The LOI contemplated provision of an option to the Company, to purchase 100% equity of such company. The Company has made a deposit of $50,000 as the first stage in the acquisition. On April 9, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive Share Exchange and Funding Agreement (See Note 14 – Subsequent Events) with Spot and Pay. Under the Agreement, the Company is acquiring a 90% ownership stake in Spot and Pay.

 

On May 30, 2017, the Company entered into a binding LOI with a certain corporation. The LOI contemplates acquisition of a 33% ownership interest in the corporation for an agreed total purchase price. The Company has made a deposit of $50,000 as the first stage in the acquisition, however, no formal and definitive acquisition agreement has been entered into yet.

On November 8, 2017, the Company entered into a binding LOI with a certain corporation. The LOI contemplates acquisition of a 33% ownership interest in the corporation for an agreed total purchase price. The Company has made a deposit of $30,000 as the first stage in the acquisition, however, no formal and definitive acquisition agreement has been entered into yet. 

When the Company signs definitive acquisition agreements, the above two deposits will be treated as investments under the guidance available in US GAAP.

7. LICENSING FEES 

Pursuant to Exclusive License Agreement dated May 21, 2015 with a related party, the Company acquired an exclusive license to develop, market and sell products and services based upon any and all intellectual property. The initial term of this Agreement was five years. This Agreement may be renewed for an additional five year term upon written notice to be given by the Company no later than thirty days prior to the expiration of the initial term. In consideration for the license granted hereunder, the Company issued to the related party 1,000,000 (200,000 after reverse split) shares of common stock. In addition, the Company shall issue 1,000,000 (200,000 after reverse split) shares of common stock on or before each anniversary of this Agreement for so long as it shall remain in effect. The Company also agreed to make payments totaling $120,000 to the third party through an agreed payment schedule.

 

As technological feasibility has not been achieved, the Company recognizes expense at the end of each anniversary (triggering event) for the shares to be issued, the fair value of which to be determined based on the market price of the share on anniversary day as further explained in note 9 to the financial statements.

 

The Company has recorded 400,000 common shares to be issued and the related license fee expense as explained in Note 9.

 

8. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES 

The outstanding convertible promissory notes as at December 31, 2017 represent obligations of the Company to CMGT Inc. (CMGT). On January 11, 2016, the Company consolidated all of its obligations to CMGT under a single Convertible Promissory Note due June 1, 2018 (the “Note”) and recognized gain on extinguishment of debt amounting to $11,462. The Note bears interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per year, with all principal and interest due on or before June 1, 2018. Under the Note, the Company is obligated to pay quarterly payments of interest only commencing March 31, 2016. The Company may prepay the Note in whole or in part without penalty. The Note is convertible at a price equal to sixty percent (60%) of the market price for its common stock, which is defined as the average of the lowest three closing bid prices for the common stock in the ten trading days preceding the conversion. The conversion price of the Note is also subject to adjustment in the event of certain stock issuances which are lower than the conversion price otherwise in effect at the time of the conversion. In addition, CMGT’s right to convert is limited such that no conversion can be made which would result in CMGT or its affiliates owning more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company following the conversion.

 

Effective February 17, 2017, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Convertible Promissory Note (the “Amendment”) with CMGT. Under the Amendment, the Company modified the conversion feature of the Note so that the conversion price for all amounts owing thereunder is now $0.10 per share of common stock. In addition, the Amendment waives the Company’s prior defaults in payment of interest under the Note in the amount of $44,289, and adds such sum to the principal balance of the Note. The Company is now required to make quarterly interest payments commencing September 30, 2017. The amendment resulted in the extinguishing of the old notes and re-issuance according to the new terms and discounts.

 

On April 28, 2017 the Company made an amendment on all its outstanding notes having face value of $436,141, removing all dilutive and reset provisions from these notes, therefore ending derivative treatment. The notes issued subsequent to amendment did not require derivative valuations.

 

Post amendment, the Company carried out beneficial conversion feature analysis of all the notes and concluded that based on the intrinsic value of these notes, 100% face value of the above notes be transferred to additional paid-in-capital and these notes to be amortized using an effective interest rate over the remaining term.

Effective April 28, 2017, the Company entered into a second amendment of Convertible Promissory Note. As a result of the amendment, derivative treatment has ended.

 

Prior to the amendment on April 28, 2017, the multinomial lattice model was used to value the convertible notes and the embedded derivative liabilities at issuance and period end date, using the following assumptions:

Volatility   284.6% - 285.4 %
Remaining terms (years)   1.09 to 1.11

As a result of the said agreement, the amount of $62,500 owed to the former President was written back.

  

12. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) enacted on December 22, 2017 reduces the US federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has not completed the accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Act; however, as described below, it has made a reasonable estimate of the effects on existing deferred tax balances. These amounts are provisional and subject to change.

 

The provision for income taxes differs from that computed at US corporate tax rate of approximately 21% (2016: 21%) as follows:

 

  2017  2016
Net loss for the year $(124,509)  $(94,906)
Tax effect of expenses not deductible for income tax:         
Annual effect of book/tax differences  47,327    36,597 
Change in valuation allowance  77,182    58,309 
   —      —   

  

Deferred tax assets

 

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31, 2017:

 

Deferred Tax Assets - Non-current: 2017   2016
Tax effect of NOL Carryover $ 110,720       262,058  
Cumulative change due to reduced rate   104,823       —   
Less valuation allowance   (215,543 )     (262,058 )
Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance $ —       $ —    

  

At December 31, 2017, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,026,397 (2016: $748,736) that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2018 to 2037. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2017 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

13. COMMITMENTS

The Company has commitments to issue 1,000,000 (200,000 after reverse split) shares of common stock on or before each anniversary pursuant to Exclusive License Agreement dated May 21, 2015 as explained in note 7 to the financial statements.

 

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

The Company’s management has evaluated subsequent events up to June 15, 2018 the date the financial statements were issued, pursuant to the requirements of ASC Topic 855 and has determined the following subsequent events:

 

On April 9, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive Share Exchange and Funding Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Spot and Pay, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Spot and Pay”). Under the Agreement, the Company is acquiring a 90% ownership stake in Spot and Pay. Spot and Pay is developing a mobile payment application that is used in connection with third party QR codes that have been generated for specific uses; i.e. individual consumer products, specific services or group of services offered to the general public, B2B product and service offerings, monetary donations to charitable organizations, and quick and easy bill payments on recurring monthly accounts. Following this acquisition, the Company’s software development plan will include a substantially more robust proprietary platform wallet feature that will allow users to create their own wallet so that they may buy and sell bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies directly from the Spot & Pay platform. The Company’s wallet feature will also provide seamless abilities to transfer money within the Spot & Pay user network instantly from one account to another without any processing delays.

 

Under the Agreement, the Company acquired 90% of the outstanding capital stock of Spot and Pay from its founder and sole shareholder, Karthikeyan Mani. In exchange, the Company has agreed to issue Mr. Mani 500,000 shares of the common stock of the Company. The Company has agreed to provide a total of $300,000 in funding for development of the Spot & Pay platform. The $300,000 includes $50,000 paid previously to Spot and Pay, together with an additional $250,000 to be paid in one or more tranches over the next 180 days. The Spot & Pay platform as developed after the Agreement will be considered work-for-hire belonging to SocialPlay USA, Inc. Mr. Mani and Spot and Pay will use their best efforts to develop the mobile payment platform, with Mr. Mani to be bound by a two-year non-competition agreement following the conclusion of such efforts. In the event that the Company fails to fund the full $300,000 within 180 days from the Agreement, the Spot and Pay shares acquired by the Company and the Company’s shares issued to Mr. Mani will be returned in part based on a sliding scale set forth in the Agreement.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

No events occurred that require disclosure under Item 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“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 it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also 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 principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The internal controls for the Company are provided by executive management’s review and approval of all transactions. Our internal control over financial reporting also includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

  (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management; and

 

  (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

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.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2017.

 

This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (i) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (ii) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (iii) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our President in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2017.

 

Management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Our Directors are appointed for a one year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.

 

Committees of the Board

 

Audit Committee

 

We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire Board of Directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the Board when performing the functions of what would generally be performed by an audit committee. The Board approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the Board reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor. Our Board of Directors, which performs the functions of an audit committee, does not have a member who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” within the definition of Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

Compensation Committee

 

We do not have a separately-designated standing compensation committee. The entire Board of Directors performs the functions of a compensation committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the Board when performing the functions of what would generally be performed by a compensation committee.

 

Code of Ethics

 

As of December 31, 2017, we had not adopted a Code of Ethics for Financial Executives, which would include our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.
