This Form 10-K contains some forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, (a) our projected sales, profitability, and cash flows, (b) our growth strategies, (c) anticipated trends in our industries, (d) our future financing plans and (e) our anticipated needs for working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These statements may be found under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” as well as in this Form 10-K generally. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, and financial results.

 

Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report may turn out to be inaccurate. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and matters described in this Form 10-K generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

 

The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

 

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

 

Business Overview

 

XTRIBE P.L.C. was originally registered as a private limited company in the United Kingdom as MEC FOOD (UK) LTD on December 12, 2011. On May 12, 2014, MEC FOOD (UK) LTD changed its name to XTRIBE Limited. On April 30, 2016, XTRIBE Limited was registered as a public limited company and changed its name to XTRIBE P.L.C.

 

On March 17, 2017, XTRIBE, P.L.C. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, XTRIBE USA Corp. in the State of Delaware. This corporation will be responsible for operations in the United States.

 

On March 9, 2018, XTRIBE, P.L.C. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, XTRIBE SUISSE SA in Switzerland. This corporation will be responsible for operations in Switzerland.

 

On June 5, 2018 (for accounting purposes the effective date is July 1, 2018), XTRIBE P.L.C. acquired 100% of interest in X-SOLUTION S.R.L. This corporation will be responsible for operations in Italy.

 

XTRIBE P.L.C. and its wholly owned subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

 

The Company has developed a free smartphone application which allows the user to sell, buy, swap and rent objects and services utilizing an active geolocation tool which locates all potential customers within any specified geographic target. Transactions can be completed without any intermediary, directly between party and counter- party, without any commissions or third-party payments. Users have the option of customizing the app to best promote commerce. The Company derives revenues by its B2B division, XTRIBE Store. The XTRIBE application is available for Apple and Android devices and can be easily downloaded for free to a user’s mobile device. Once installed, the user establishes a free account and can immediately transact and communicate with other users.

The Company’s principal office is located in London, England.

 

XTRIBE P.L.C. provides an application that allows users to buy, sell, and rent products and services easily and efficiently to other Xtribe users. The application is available in two profiles, a free profile for noncommercial users and a store profile for businesses.

 

The application works as so:

 

 

The Free Profile allows users to buy and sell products and services quickly and locally. As sellers they can upload up to three products and three services at a time for sale. As buyers they can avoid the delay and shipping costs involved in shopping online by posting a picture of the product to locate businesses in their own neighborhood where the product is available.

 

The store profile, Xtribe Store, available for purchase on a twelve-month contract, allows retailers and professional users to market products and services to multiple users through an unlimited number of ads. The customizable profile allows businesses to post store contacts, business hours, and clickable links to phone numbers, Web sites, e-mail addresses, and social media profiles. No commission fees are charged. Participating businesses can access statistics and reports to analyze sales performance, and they can find immediate answers to their questions by chatting in real time with Xtribe’s customer-support operators.

To develop business, Xtribe relies on ground sales force consultants who visit targeted businesses in person for marketing purposes, focusing particularly on chain stores likely to generate revenue and brand awareness. Advertisers on Xtribe benefit from data about the commercial interests of the company’s users, which can be accessed and used to identify potential buyers and guide marketing strategy. Technologically, the company relies on five servers provided by OVH and Hetzner. Xtribe estimates that it will need $30 million to implement its business strategy fully. It anticipates raising $30 million as shareholders’ equity and up to $10 million through convertible bonds.

 

The Company is structured as so:

Consulting Agreement

 

The Company has a consulting arrangement with a company in which the Chief Executive Officer has a material interest. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, this company was owed $0 and $20,346, which have been included in accounts payable – related parties.  During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company paid $33,655 and $112,085 to this company.

In 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,000 Ordinary Shares to its founders for an aggregate consideration of $14,882. In 2015, the Company issued an additional 29,624 Ordinary Shares (on a post- reclassification basis) for a total consideration of $361,036. On April 30, 2016, the Company effectuated a recapitalization (forward split) of 21.1 to 1 which resulted in the 10,000 Ordinary Shares being reclassified as 211,000 Ordinary Shares. In the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued another 100,000 Ordinary Shares for a total consideration of $600,000. At December 31, 2016, following a recapitalization completed in November 2016, the Company had 9,000,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. The Registrant sold these Company Ordinary Shares under an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and, to offshore holders, under an exemption from registration provided by Regulation S. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company sold an additional Zero (0) Ordinary Shares at $0.00 per share for total proceeds of $0.00.

 

During March 2018, the Company sold 351,500 ordinary shares Series B for $428,289, exchanged 228,038 ordinary shares Series B for $336,122 in loans payable-shareholder and settled an outstanding subscription receivable of $35,340 for a reduction in loans payable – shareholder.

 

The Company received shareholder loans from a company in which the Chief Financial Officer has a material interest. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the balance of the loans were $306,548 and $333,784.

 

As of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company owed $303,811 and $299,465 to two shareholders. One of the shareholders is also the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the other is a relative to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 

As of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company owed $630,004 and $507,893 to five additional shareholders of the Company.

 

Without raising additional funds, the Company will run out of funds approximately in April 2019. We will additionally incur public company reporting costs of approximately $160,000. per year or $40,000 per quarter. To fund the Company’s operating expenses following April 2019, the Company will require additional funding for ongoing operations and to expand to new markets. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise any additional capital and have no current arrangements for any such financing.

 

Employees

Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report may turn out to be inaccurate. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks or uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” detailed in the Company’s Form S-1 registration statement and matters described in this Form 10-K generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

 

Overview

 

The Company was originally registered as a private limited company in the United Kingdom as MEC FOOD (UK) LTD on December 12, 2011. On May 12, 2014, the Company changed its name to XTRIBE Limited. On April 30, 2016, the Company was registered as a public limited company and changed its name to XTRIBE P.L.C. The Company has developed a free smartphone application which allows the user to sell, buy, swap and rent objects and services utilizing an active geolocation tool which locates all potential customers within any specified geographic target. Transactions can be completed without any intermediary, directly between party and counter-party, without any commissions or third-party payments. Users have the option of customizing the app to best promote commerce. The Company derives revenues by its B2B division, XTRIBE Store. The XTRIBE application is available for Apple and Android devices and can be easily downloaded for free to a user’s mobile device. Once installed, the user establishes a free account and can immediately transact and communicate with other users.

 

To date, we have generated limited revenues. Commencing in 2018, we began to generate revenue streams through the use of our fully developed and operational application by its registered users. The Company is currently only operating in Italy but plans to expand its operations to the United States and other selected markets in the next 12-24 months.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $17,254 cash on hand which management believes is sufficient to fund expenses of operation through April 2019. Additional proceeds will enable the Company to expand to the United States and other international markets.

 

Strategic Outlook

 

We believe that the connectivity between by buyers and sellers, the geolocation attributes, and the multilingual capabilities of our application will provide the source for our success in a currently underutilized market.

 

As our registered user base grows, we intend to hire additional information technology staff to maintain our product offerings and develop new products to increase our market share.

 

We believe that our near-term success will depend particularly on our ability to develop customer awareness and confidence in our application. Since we have limited capital resources, we will need to closely manage our expenses and conserve our cash by continually monitoring any increase in expenses and reducing or eliminating unnecessary expenditures. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by companies at an early stage of development, particularly given that we operate in new and rapidly evolving markets, that we have limited financial resources, and face an uncertain economic environment. We may not be successful in addressing such risks and difficulties.

Results of Operations

 

The Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2017

 

The following discussion analyzes our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The following information should be considered together with our financial statements for such period and the accompanying notes thereto.

 

Revenue/Net Loss

 

We have generated limited revenue since our inception. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we have generated $29,087 of sales and for the year ended December 31, 2017, we had not generated any sales. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had a net loss of $1,492,058 and $1,763,394, respectively.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $474,658 during the year ended December 31, 2018 to $1,170,574 from $695,916 in the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase is primarily the result of increases in professional fees, costs associated with the acquisition of X-Solution during 2018 and increase in employee head count and corresponding increase in payroll costs.

 

Bad Debt Expense

 

The provision for bad debts decreased by $273,270 for the year ended December 31, 2018 to $0 from $273,270 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease is a result of management believing that no provision for bad debts was necessary in 2018.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $166,842 during the year ended December 31, 2018, to $158,709 from $325,551 in the year ended December 31, 2017. This is a result of the Company’s decrease in marketing efforts in 2018 due to lack of operational funds when compared to 2017.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and Development expenses were $191,862 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $468,657 for the year ended to December 31, 2017. The decrease was related to a reduction in costs associated with developing the Xtribe smartphone application in 2018.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Going Concern

 

The Company believes that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that its available cash balance as of the date of this filing will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations for at least the next 12 months. At December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,219,800, as compared to working capital deficit of approximately $1,454,494 at December 31, 2017. The increase of $765,306 in the Company’s working deficit from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018 was primarily the result of the increase in general and administrative expenses during the year, which was the result of increases in professional fees, costs associated with the acquisition of X-Solution, and increase in employee head count and corresponding increase in payroll costs.  

 

Since inception, the Company has focused on developing and implementing its business plan. The Company believes that its existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain operations during the next twelve months. The Company currently needs to generate revenue in order to sustain its operations. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will seek additional financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing when it is needed or if such financing cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company would likely be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Based upon the current cash position and the Company’s planned expense run rate, management believes the Company has funds currently to finance its operations through April 2019.

 

 10 
   

 

The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

 

Summary of Cash Flows

 

   For the Year Ended December 31, 
   2018   2017 
         
Net cash used in operating activities  $(1,450,411)  $(1,331,470)
Net cash used in investing activities   (24,709)   (1,523)
Net cash provided by financing activities   1,451,474    930,959 

 

Net cash used in Operating Activities Net cash used in operating activities decreased to $1,450,411 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This included a net loss of $1,492,058, reduced by non-cash charge related to depreciation and amortization of $17,151, and reduced by changes in prepaid expenses, other receivable, and accounts payable of $24,496. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ending December 31, 2017 was $1,331,470. This included a net loss of $1,763,394, reduced by non-cash charge related to depreciation and amortization of $16,099, non-cash charge related to the provision for bad debts of $273,270, and changes in prepaid expenses, other receivable, deposits, and accounts payable of $142,555.

 

Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased to $24,709 for the year ended December 31, 2018, which included purchases of equipment of $8,875 and payments for the acquisition of X-Solution, less net cash acquired of 15,834. Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2017 was $1,523, which was purchases of software.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $1,451,474 for the year ended December 31, 2018. This included proceeds received from loans payable-other of $217,789, proceeds received from loans payable – shareholders of $476,537, proceeds from bank overdraft of $328,859 and proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares, Series B of $428,289. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $930,959, which included proceeds received from loans payable – other of $330,959, and proceeds received from the sale of common stock of $600,000.

 

Since our inception, we have focused on developing and implementing our business plan. We believe that our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months. We currently need to generate sufficient revenues to support our cost structure to enable us to pay ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred, finance the development of our platform, and execute the business plan. If we cannot generate sufficient revenue to fund our business plan, we intend to seek additional financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when it is needed or if such financing cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to us, we will be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. On January 30, 2019, the Company filed a Form D offering up to $10,000,000 of debt securities.

 

Even if we are successful in generating sufficient revenue or in raising sufficient capital in order to complete the platform, our ability to continue in business as a viable going concern can only be achieved when our revenues reach a level that sustains our business operations. There can be no assurance that we will raise sufficient proceeds, or any proceeds, for us to implement fully our proposed business plan. Moreover, there can be no assurance we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our operations. In either such situation, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business might fail.

 

 11 
   

 

The foregoing forward-looking information was prepared by us in good faith based upon assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. No assurance can be given, however, regarding the attainability of the projections or the reliability of the assumptions on which they are based. The projections are subject to the uncertainties inherent in any attempt to predict the results of our operations, especially where new products and services are involved. Certain of the assumptions used will inevitably not materialize and unanticipated events will occur. Actual results of operations are, therefore, likely to vary from the projections and such variations may be material and adverse to us. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that such results will be achieved. Moreover, due to changes in technology, new product announcements, competitive pressures, system design and/or other specifications we may be required to change the current plans.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2018, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Subsequent Events

 

In November 2018, the Company held two General Shareholder Meetings, in which a resolution was passed where all issued and outstanding shares of Series B stock were to be converted to ordinary shares. Terms were agreed upon and approved by the Board of Directors in November 2018, and the shares were legally converted in January of 2019.

 

In January 2019, the Company converted all of the series B shares into 579,538 “A” ordinary shares. As part of this transaction, the following proceedings were noted:

 

  1. Re-designate/re-name all class B shares to Ordinary Shares.
  2. Variate the rights of the newly re-designated shares to align them to Ordinary Shares’ rights. Each class B shareholder will be asked to consent to the variation of rights in writing.
  3. All Class B shareholders are to retain their shares entitlement as calculated for the conversion (9:10 ratio) and for the Bonus Issue (issuance of discounted number of shares) and to surrender, by means of a transfer for no consideration made to a nominee shareholder, the balance of the newly converted shares. Each class B shareholder will be asked to sign a Stock Transfer Form for this balance.
  4. The Nominee Shareholder in turn will transfer to all the other Ordinary Shareholders their share entitlement under the Bonus Issue.

 

As part of this conversion, the Bonus Issue allows shareholders to receive a discounted number of shares of Common Stock, so that the total issued share capital of the Company would remain unaltered.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity recognizes 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. In applying the new guidance, an entity will: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the contract’s performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB ASC. In April and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, ASU 2016-11, “Revenue Recognition and Derivatives and Hedging – Recession of SEC Guidance”, ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”, and ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. These ASUs each affect the guidance of the new revenue recognition standard in ASU 2014-09 and related subsequent ASUs. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for emerging growth companies.

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company early adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments” (“ASC 606”) to all contracts which were not completed or expired as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The Company had no cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while the comparative information will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this Update is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for emerging growth companies. The Company early adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350); Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this update simplify the measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for emerging growth companies for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is evaluating the effect that this update will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Shareholders of XTRIBE P.L.C.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of XTRIBE P.L.C. (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s losses from development activities raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of the Business

 

The Company was originally registered as a private limited company in the United Kingdom as MEC FOOD (UK) LTD on December 12, 2011. On May 12, 2014, the Company changed its name to XTRIBE Limited. On April 30, 2016, the Company was registered as a public limited company and changed its name to XTRIBE P.L.C.

 

On March 17, 2017, XTRIBE, P.L.C. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, XTRIBE USA Corp. in the State of Delaware. This corporation will be responsible for operations in the United States.

 

On March 9, 2018, XTRIBE, P.L.C. formed a wholly owned subsidiary, XTRIBE SUISSE SA in Switzerland. This corporation will be responsible for operations in Switzerland.

 

On June 5, 2018 (for accounting purposes the effective date is July 1, 2018), XTRIBE P.L.C. acquired 100% of interest in X-SOLUTION S.R.L. (“X-Solution”) This corporation will be responsible for operations in Italy.

 

XTRIBE P.L.C., XTRIBE USA Corp., XTRIBE SUISSE SA, and X-Solution are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

 

The Company has developed a free smartphone application which allows the user to sell, buy, swap and rent objects and services utilizing an active geolocation tool which locates all potential customers within any specified geographic target. Transactions can be completed without any intermediary, directly between the party and counter-party, without any commissions or third-party payments. Users have the option of customizing the app to best promote commerce. The Company derives revenues by its B2B division, XTRIBE Store. The XTRIBE application is available for Apple and Android devices and can be easily downloaded for free to a user’s mobile device. Once installed, the user establishes a free account and can immediately transact and communicate with other users. The Company’s principal office is located in London, England. The Company is an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. 

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business, primarily related to accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. Substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with financial institutions in England, the United States, Switzerland, and Italy. The Company maintained balances of $17,254 and $41,870 with these institutions as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company also maintained a receivable in the amount of $46,468 and $285,561 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The receivable as of December 31, 2017 was completely reserved. As of December 31, 2018, there was no bad debt provision recorded.

 

 F-7 
   

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Under FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Subject to these criteria, the Company recognizes revenue from product sales, upon application initialization on the XTRIBE Store by the customer.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 220, “Comprehensive Income,” in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. The Company has one item of other comprehensive income, consisting of a foreign translation adjustment.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

 

The functional currency of the operations of the Company is the Euro. The capitalization of the Company is provided in British pounds (“GBP”), while the Company transacts a majority of its other transactions including loans from shareholders in Euros, which makes the Euro the functional currency. Gains and losses resulting from transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company are recorded in the statement of operations for the reporting periods as part of general and administrative expense. Included in general and administrative expense were foreign currency transaction losses of $28,150 and $84,222 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States (U.S.) dollar. The financial statements in functional currency are translated to U.S. dollars using the closing rate of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rate of exchange for the statement of operations. The capital accounts are translated at historical rate. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders’ equity.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and loans payable. The carrying value of other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. The Company believes the carrying amount of its loans payable approximate fair value based on rates and other terms currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and certificates of deposit and commercial paper with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash or cash equivalents. The Company reclassifies cash overdrafts to the bank overdraft liability account.

 

Software

 

Software is stated at cost. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, principally five years. Maintenance and upgrades to the software are charged to operations. Upon retirement, sale, or other disposition of software, the costs and accumulated amortization are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations.

 

 F-8 
   

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets are measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, undiscounted and without interest or independent appraisals. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized; rather, it is subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. The Company reviews goodwill for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

 

The impairment model prescribes a two-step method for determining goodwill impairment. However, an entity is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the two-step goodwill impairment test is necessary. The qualitative factors considered by the Company may include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, outlook, market performance of the Company’s industry and recent and forecasted financial performance. Further testing is only required if the entity determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. In the first step, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company then performs the second step of the impairment test, which requires allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities using the acquisition method prescribed under authoritative guidance for business combinations with any residual fair value being allocated to goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized when the implied fair value of the Company’s goodwill is higher than its carrying amount.

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for its business combinations under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805-10, Business Combinations (“ASC 805-10”), which requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including non-controlling interests, are recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. ASC 805-10 also specifies criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 740 when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Tax years from 2015 through 2018 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $50,784 and $73,203 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and are included in sales and marketing expenses.

 

 F-9 
   

 

Research and Development Costs

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $191,862 and $468,657.

 

Software development costs that were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, have been expensed as incurred and recorded in research and development costs in the statement of operations. Software development costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $191,836 and $638,720.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share of Ordinary Shares

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” when reporting Earnings Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Because the Company reported a net loss for each of the years presented and because the Company has no ordinary share equivalents, the amounts reported for basic and diluted loss per share were the same.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry specific guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity recognizes 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. In applying the new guidance, an entity will: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the contract’s performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB ASC. In April and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” ASU 2016-11, “Revenue Recognition and Derivatives and Hedging – Recession of SEC Guidance,” ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” and ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” These ASUs each affect the guidance of the new revenue recognition standard in ASU 2014-09 and related subsequent ASUs. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for emerging growth companies.

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company early adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments” (“ASC 606”) to all contracts which were not completed or expired as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The Company had no cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while the comparative information will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this Update are to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for emerging growth companies. The Company early adopted this standard on January 1, 2018.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350); Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this update simplify the measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for emerging growth companies for the reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is evaluating the effect that this update will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

 

The Company believes that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that its available cash balance as of the date of this filing will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations for at least the next 12 months. At December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,219,800, as compared to working capital deficit of approximately $1,454,494 at December 31, 2017. The increase of $765,306 in the Company’s working deficit from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018 was primarily the result of the increase in general and administrative expenses during the year, which was the result of increases in professional fees, costs associated with the acquisition of X-Solution, and increase in employee head count and corresponding increase in payroll costs.  

 

Since inception, the Company has focused on developing and implementing its business plan. The Company believes that its existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain operations during the next twelve months. The Company currently needs to generate revenue in order to sustain its operations. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will seek additional financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing when it is needed or if such financing cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company would likely be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Based upon the current cash position and the Company’s planned expense run rate, management believes the Company has funds currently to finance its operations through April 2019.

 

NOTE 3 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company adopted the new revenue standard, ASC 606, using the modified retrospective method as of January 1, 2018. This method required retrospective application of the new accounting standard to all unfulfilled contracts that were outstanding as of January 1, 2018. Revenues and contract assets and liabilities for contracts completed prior to January 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 605. The Company has determined that there were no adjustments required with respect to the adoption of ASC 606 with respect to any prior periods. The Company generates revenue from product sales, upon application initialization on the XTRIBE Store by the customer.

 

NOTE 4– ACQUISITION OF X-SOLUTION S.R.L.

 

On June 5, 2018 XTRIBE P.L.C. acquired 100% of interest in X-Solution for $17,521 (EURO 15,000). For accounting purposes, the effective date of the acquisition is July 1, 2018. The purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets is recorded as goodwill.

 

The purchase price allocation was estimated based on X-Solution historical financial information reflecting International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) adjusted to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Using the total consideration for the acquisition, the Company has estimated the allocations to such assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the July 1, 2018, effective date of the transaction’s closing:

 

 F-11 
   

 

Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed at fair value of X-SOLUTION S.R.L.:

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations of XTRIBE P.L.C. has been prepared by applying pro forma adjustments to XTRIBE P.L.C. and X-Solution’s historical financial statements to reflect the acquisition of X-Solution. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations presented below assume that the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2017.

 

These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the first day of the periods presented, nor does the pro forma financial information purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 740-10-10 whereby an entity recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences or events that have been previously recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.

 

At December 31, 2018, the Company has net operating losses in the United States, of approximately $327,000, losses in the United Kingdom of approximately $2,100,000, losses in Italy of approximately $397,000 and losses in Switzerland of approximately $132,000. These losses can be carried forward to offset future taxable income. Deferred tax assets would arise from the recognition of anticipated utilization of these net operating losses to offset future taxable income.

 

The income tax (benefit) provision consists of the following:

 

   December 31, 
   2018   2017 
Current  $   $- 
Deferred   (399,000)   (340,000)
Change in valuation allowance   399,000    340,000

The primary components of the Company’s December 31, 2018 and 2017 deferred tax assets, liabilities and related valuation allowances are as follows:

 

   December 31, 
  2018   2017 
         
Deferred tax asset for trading losses carryforward  $(667,000)  $(329,000)
Software development costs  $(307,000)  $(246,000)
Valuation allowance   974,000    575,000 
           
Net  $-   $- 

 

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted, which reduces the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning in 2017.

 

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating losses and temporary differences become deductible. Management considered projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The value of the deferred tax assets was offset by a valuation allowance, due to the current uncertainty of the future realization of the deferred tax assets.

 

The timing and manner in which the Company can utilize operating loss carryforwards in any year may be limited by provisions of the Revenue Codes of the jurisdictions regarding changes in ownership of corporations. Such limitations may have an impact on the ultimate realization of its carryforwards and future tax deductions.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize interest or penalties during 2018 and 2017 related to unrecognized tax benefits. There has been no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. Tax years from 2014 through 2017 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS

 

On August 1, 2017, the Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with the President of the Company. The President is to receive an annual salary of $150,000 and is entitled to an annual bonus, subject to approval by the board of directors.

 

NOTE 13 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company has a consulting arrangement with a company in which the Chief Executive Officer has a material interest. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, this company was owed $0 and $20,346, which have been included in accounts payable – related parties.  During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company paid $33,655 and $112,085 to this company.

 

During March 2018, the Company sold 351,500 ordinary shares Series B for $428,289, exchanged 228,038 ordinary shares Series B for $336,122 in loans payable-shareholder and settled an outstanding subscription receivable of $35,340 for a reduction in loans payable – shareholder.

 

The Company received shareholder loans from a company in which the Chief Financial Officer has a material interest. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the balance of the loans were $306,548 and $333,784 (see Note 9).

 

As of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company owed $303,811 and $299,465 to two shareholders. One of the shareholders is also the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the other is a relative to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (see Note 9).

 

As of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company owed $630,004 and $507,893 to five additional shareholders of the Company (see Note 9).

 

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In November 2018, the Company held two General Shareholder Meetings, in which a resolution was passed where all issued and outstanding shares of Series B stock were to be converted to ordinary shares. Terms were agreed upon and approved by the Board of Directors in November 2018; however the shares were legally converted in January of 2019.

 

In January 2019, the Company converted all of the series B shares into 579,538 “A” ordinary shares. As part of this transaction, the following proceedings were noted:

 

  1. Re-designate/re-name all class B shares to Ordinary Shares
     
  2. Variate the rights of the newly re-designated shares to align them to Ordinary Shares’ rights. Each class B shareholder will be asked to consent to the variation of rights in writing.
     
  3. All Class B shareholders are to retain their shares entitlement as calculated for the conversion (9:10 ratio) and for the Bonus Issue (issuance of discounted number of shares) and to surrender, by means of a transfer for no consideration made to a nominee shareholder, the balance of the newly converted shares. Each class B shareholder will be asked to sign a Stock Transfer Form for this balance.
 

4.

The Nominee Shareholder in turn will transfer to all the other Ordinary Shareholders their share entitlement under the Bonus Issue.

 

As part of this conversion, the Bonus Issue allows shareholders to receive a discounted number of shares of Common Stock, so that the total issued share capital of the Company would remain unaltered.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (the Company’s principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), has evaluated 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 were not effective as of December 31, 2018 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. The principal basis for this conclusion is the lack of segregation of duties within our financial function and the lack of an operating Audit Committee.

 

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
   
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
   
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s 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. 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

 14 
   

 

We carried out an assessment, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of December 31, 2018. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment and on those criteria, our CEO and CFO concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018. The principal basis for this conclusion is (i) failure to engage sufficient resources in regards to our accounting and reporting obligations during our startup and (ii) failure to fully document our internal control policies and procedures.

 

This annual report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.

 

(c) Changes in Internal Controls

 

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

 

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