Blackboxstocks Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

1. Organization

Blackboxstocks Inc. was incorporated on October 4, 2011 under the laws of the State of Nevada under the name SMSA Ballinger Acquisition Corp. to effect the reincorporation of Senior Management Services of Heritage Oaks at Ballinger, Inc., a Texas corporation, mandated by a Plan of Reorganization confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, Tiger Trade Technologies, Inc. (“Tiger Trade”), a Texas corporation and the stockholders of Tiger Trade. As a result of the Exchange Agreement transaction, the Tiger Trade stockholders acquired approximately 88.64% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, and Tiger Trade became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. 

On February 8, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with Tiger Trade, providing for the merger of Tiger Trade with and into the Company. At the effective time of the merger (February 9, 2016), the shares of Tiger Trade capital stock outstanding immediately before the effective time were canceled, retired and ceased to exist.

The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation effective as of March 9, 2016, changing the name of the Company to Blackboxstocks Inc.

The Company is in the business of developing and marketing a real time analytical platform and subscription based software as a service (the “Blackbox System”) to serve as a tool for day traders and swing traders on various securities exchanges and markets, including the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTC”), the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, LLC (formerly the American Stock Exchange), the NASDAQ markets, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements and footnotes of Blackboxstocks Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures, including a description of significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report. The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent quarter or the entire year ending December 31, 2017.

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates - Blackboxstocks’ financial statement preparation requires that management make estimates and assumptions which affect the reporting of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in order to report these financial statements in conformity with GAAP.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No.2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. It is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard permits early adoption, but not before December 15, 2016, and permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial position and results of operations, as well as our selected transition method. Based on our preliminary assessment, we believe the new standard will not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations, as we do not expect to change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue on a majority of our revenue transactions. We recognize revenue on sales to customers and distributors upon satisfaction of our performance obligations when the goods are shipped. For consignment sales, we recognize revenue when the goods are pulled from consignment inventory.

Property and Equipment - Blackboxstocks is engaged in the development of its proprietary Blackbox System technology, an algorithm driven system, through a combination of in house system analysts and outside firms. The Company’s Blackbox System software for use in China was in development and costs expensed until the software reached technological feasibility in April 2017 and capitalized until May 15, 2017 when the Blackbox System for use in China was marketable.

The Company’s property and equipment is being depreciated on the straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three years.

Earnings or (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings per share (or loss per share), is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potentially issuable shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities or exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Therefore, because including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and/or exercise of outstanding options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share, only the basic earnings (loss) per share is reported in the accompanying financial statements. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, the potential dilution would be 5,000,000 shares of common stock in the event the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are converted.

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of subscriptions for the use of the Blackbox System web application, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and collectability is probable. Revenue generally is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The Company launched its Blackbox System web application and began generating subscription sales revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

In addition, the Company earns revenue from the licensing of its Blackbox System application for use in China, whereby a licensee is authorized to sell subscriptions for and sublicense the use of a version of the web application customized for analysis of data from certain Asian exchanges. A monthly licensing fee is charged to the licensee which began effective June 1, 2017.

Software Development Costs - Blackboxstocks is engaged in the development of its proprietary Blackbox System technology, an algorithm driven system, through a combination of in house system analysts and outside contractors. Under the guidelines of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 985 the cost of the Company’s Blackbox System was expensed during development and the Blackbox System software for use in the US, reached technical feasibility in August 2016, became marketable and was made available to subscribers beginning September 1, 2016. The Blackbox System for use in China achieved technical feasibility during the quarter and became marketable and available to subscribers effective May 15, 2017. In continued accordance with ASC Topic 985 these costs were expensed until technical feasibility was achieved, costs incurred until May 15, 2017 were capitalized and subsequently amortized.

Prepaid Expenses - Prepaid expenses are current assets created when the Company makes payments or incurs an obligation for expenses identified for a future period.  The Company has prepaid for marketing and advertising services to be used over approximately the next twelve months and expensed a prorated amount during the quarter ended September 30, 2017. In addition, the Company entered into a consulting services agreement for investor relations advisory services for the period August 11, 2017 through February 10, 2018.

3.   Stockholders’ Equity

The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $0.001 par value, 5,000,000 of which are designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” at $0.001 par value and 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock at $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”).

Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock do not accumulate dividends and are convertible into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Additionally, each share entitles the holder to 100 votes and, with respect to dividend and liquidation rights, the shares rank pari passu with the Company’s Common Stock.

On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Tiger Trade and its Stockholders (Note 1). Under the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, the Company offered and sold Seventeen Million Nine Hundred Thousand (17,900,000) newly issued shares of Company Common Stock and Five Million (5,000,000) newly issued shares of Company Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares of Tiger Trade capital stock. The effect of the issuance was that Tiger Trade stockholders acquired approximately 85.91% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Tiger Trade became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the Exchange Agreement transaction.

3.   Stockholders’ Equity (continued)

Tiger Trade was subsequently merged with and into the Company on February 9, 2016, at which time all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Tiger Trade outstanding immediately before the effective date were canceled, retired and ceased to exist.

On February 10, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Cancellation Agreement with Gust C. Kepler, a Director, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Kepler cancelled and forfeited 835,010 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued a total of 3,310,000 shares of Common Stock at a cash price of $0.50 per share for a total of $1,655,000. However, the Company subsequently honored a request by one investor to rescind the purchase of 200,000 of such shares of Common Stock on October 28, 2016.

On September 28, 2017, the Company entered into a Stock Repurchase and Cancellation Agreement with Gust Kepler, a Director and the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company, pursuant to which the Company repurchased 110,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company in exchange for cancellation and forgiveness of debt obligations owed by Mr. Kepler to the Company for advances in the aggregate amount of $55,000.

4. Stock Options and Warrants

Costs attributable to the issuance of stock options and share purchase warrants are measured at fair value at the date of issuance and offset with a corresponding increase in ‘Additional Paid in Capital’ at the time of issuance.  When the options or warrants are exercised, the receipt of consideration is an increase in stockholders’ equity. There was no stock option or warrant activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and as of November 14, 2017, no options or warrants were outstanding.

5.  Related Party Transactions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Gust C. Kepler, a Director, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company was advanced $95,705 by the Company and he repaid $70,000. On September 28, 2017, the Company entered into a Stock Repurchase and Cancellation Agreement (Note 3) with Mr. Gust Kepler, pursuant to which the Company repurchased 110,000 shares of Common Stock in exchange for cancellation and forgiveness of debt obligations owed by Mr. Kepler to the Company for advances in the aggregate amount of $55,000. On September 28, 2017, the Company also agreed to cancel and forgive debt obligations owed by Mr. Kepler to the Company for advances in the aggregate amount of $12,500 in exchange for Mr. Kepler’s transfer of 25,000 shares of Common Stock for the benefit of the Company under the terms of a Services Agreement between the Company and PCG Advisory Group dated August 11, 2017. The remaining advance of $895 is unsecured and bears no interest.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company (and its predecessor, Tiger Trade) engaged the services of Karma Black Box LLC (“Karma”), which became a Company stockholder as a result of the Exchange Agreement (Note 1 and 3), for application development services of the Company’s Blackbox System technology. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, Karma was paid $85,500 and $10,500 for services, respectively.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We urge you to read the following discussion in conjunction with management’s discussion and analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as well as with our condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

Overview

The Company is in the business of developing and marketing a real time analytical web based software as a service platform (the “Blackbox System”) that serves as a tool for day traders and swing traders on various securities exchanges and markets. Our proprietary Blackbox System technology is an algorithm driven system that works in real time, measuring market trends and data while utilizing a multitude of specific criteria, both live and historical. Our Blackbox System platform employs predictive technology enhanced by artificial intelligence to find volatility and unusual market activity that can result in the rapid change in a stock’s price. The Blackbox System was initially designed to monitor and analyze over 13,000 stocks on the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTC”), New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the NYSE MKT, LLC (formerly the American Stock Exchange), and NASDAQ markets simultaneously as our servers receive live data feeds from such markets. We have also customized our Blackbox System to analyze data from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (“HKEX”), Shanghai Stock Exchange (“SSE”) and Shenzhen Stock Exchange (“SZSE”) for license and use primarily in Asia. We consider the Blackbox System technology to be among the most user-friendly of its kind.

Basis of Presentation of Financial Information

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company's ability to establish itself as a profitable business. At September 30, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $2,192,303 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, incurred net losses of $215,189 and $759,459, respectively. Management expects that the Company may need to raise additional capital to sustain operations until such time as the Company can achieve profitability. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in obtaining additional funding or in attaining profitable operations.

The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes from the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company launched its Blackbox System web application for domestic use and made it available to subscribers in September 2016 and we have not yet attained a level of subscription sales revenue that would allow us to meet our current overhead. We do not contemplate attaining profitable operations prior to the end of the fourth quarter of 2017, nor is there any assurance that such an operating level can ever be achieved. Unless there is a significant change in cash requirements, the Company believes it has sufficient working capital to fund any operating deficiencies and future development costs until the end of 2018.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had a cash balance of $163,913 and our working capital was $192,871 as compared to a cash balance of $28,867 and a working capital deficit of $160,006 at September 30, 2016.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s revenue totaled $384,279 and $19,540, respectively, for which our respective costs of revenues totaled $163,071 and $15,633. The increase in revenue and costs of operations are the result of the Company’s launch of our Blackbox System web application for subscription in September 2016. We also generated $300,000 in license fee revenues from the BBTR System which was made available on a trial basis in May 2017. The majority of the costs of operations are data feed expenses for exchange information totaling approximately $70,099 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Other costs of operations included affiliate program referral, customer retention and media coordination payments of approximately $43,818 and website design and maintenance costs of approximately $46,777.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had operating expenses totaling $436,077 compared to $160,747 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $275,330. Software development costs also increased by approximately $87,070 from $35,445 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $122,515 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increased software development costs were primarily attributable to the development and testing of the Blackbox System’s new software chat features. General and administrative expenses also increased approximately $186,062 from $124,013 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $310,075 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The majority of the increase is a result of increased internet and telecom expense of $41,762, marketing and investor relations of $140,811, increased travel expense of $18,964 offset by a reduction in administrative expenses of $15,476. The Company also recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $3,487 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1,289 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. 

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s revenue totaled $708,837 and $19,540, respectively, for which our respective costs of revenues totaled $392,543 and $15,633. The increase in revenue and costs of operations are the result of the Company’s launch of our Blackbox System web application for subscription in September 2016. We also generated $400,000 in license fee revenues from the BBTR System which was made available on a trial basis in May 2017. The majority of the costs of operations are data feed expenses for exchange information totaling approximately $218,812 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Other costs of operations included affiliate program referral, customer retention and media coordination payments of approximately $71,702 and website design and maintenance costs of approximately $93,851.

11

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had operating expenses totaling $1,074,467 compared to $464,127 for the same period in 2016, an increase of $610,340. Software development costs also increased by approximately $230,479 from $124,764 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $355,243 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increased software development costs were primarily attributable to the development of the BBTR System for use by the BBTR Licensee in connection with certain Asian securities exchanges and development of the Blackbox System’s new software chat features. General and administrative expenses also increased approximately $375,469 from $335,497 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $710,966 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase is largely due to increases in internet and telecom expenses of $80,054, increased marketing and investor relations expenses of $200,613, an increase in travel and related expense of $80,876 and increases in administrative expense of $13,926. The Company also recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $8,258 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $3,866 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and as such, is not required to provide the information required under this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Gust Kepler, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2017, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the appropriate management on a basis that permits timely decisions regarding disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017 were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic filings under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures provide our principal executive officer and principal financial officer with reasonable assurances that our disclosure controls and procedures will achieve their objectives. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting can or will prevent all human error. A control system, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Furthermore, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are internal resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be weighed relative to their corresponding costs.

12

Because of the limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide complete assurance that all control issues and instances of error, if any, within our company are detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur due to human error or mistake. Additionally, controls, no matter how well designed, could be circumvented by the individual acts of specific persons within the organization. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions.

Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the fact that the Company only has one director and executive officer dealing with general administrative and financial matters. This constitutes a material weakness in the internal controls. Management has decided that considering the officer/director involved, the control procedures in place, and the outsourcing of certain financial functions, the risks associated with such lack of segregation were low and the potential benefits of adding additional employees to clearly segregate duties did not justify the expenses associated with such increases. Management periodically reevaluates this situation. In light of the Company’s current cash flow situation, the Company does not intend to increase staffing to mitigate the current lack of segregation of duties within the general administrative and financial functions.

(“Tiger Trade”), a Texas corporation and the stockholders of Tiger Trade. As a result of the Exchange Agreement transaction, the Tiger Trade stockholders acquired approximately 88.64% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, and Tiger Trade became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. 

On February 8, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with Tiger Trade, providing for the merger of Tiger Trade with and into the Company. At the effective time of the merger (February 9, 2016), the shares of Tiger Trade capital stock outstanding immediately before the effective time were canceled, retired and ceased to exist.

The Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation effective as of March 9, 2016, changing the name of the Company to Blackboxstocks Inc.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements and footnotes of Blackboxstocks Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures, including a description of significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report. The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent quarter or the entire year ending December 31, 2017.

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Use of Estimates - Blackboxstocks’ financial statement preparation requires that management make estimates and assumptions which affect the reporting of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in order to report these financial statements in conformity with GAAP.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No.2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. It is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. This standard permits early adoption, but not before December 15, 2016, and permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our financial position and results of operations, as well as our selected transition method. Based on our preliminary assessment, we believe the new standard will not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations, as we do not expect to change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue on a majority of our revenue transactions. We recognize revenue on sales to customers and distributors upon satisfaction of our performance obligations when the goods are shipped. For consignment sales, we recognize revenue when the goods are pulled from consignment inventory.

Property and Equipment - Blackboxstocks is engaged in the development of its proprietary Blackbox System technology, an algorithm driven system, through a combination of in house system analysts and outside firms. The Company’s Blackbox System software for use in China was in development and costs expensed until the software reached technological feasibility in April 2017 and capitalized until May 15, 2017 when the Blackbox System for use in China was marketable.

The Company’s property and equipment is being depreciated on the straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three years.

Earnings or (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings per share (or loss per share), is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potentially issuable shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities or exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Therefore, because including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and/or exercise of outstanding options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share, only the basic earnings (loss) per share is reported in the accompanying financial statements. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, the potential dilution would be 5,000,000 shares of common stock in the event the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are converted.

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of subscriptions for the use of the Blackbox System web application, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and collectability is probable. Revenue generally is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The Company launched its Blackbox System web application and began generating subscription sales revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

In addition, the Company earns revenue from the licensing of its Blackbox System application for use in China, whereby a licensee is authorized to sell subscriptions for and sublicense the use of a version of the web application customized for analysis of data from certain Asian exchanges. A monthly licensing fee is charged to the licensee which began effective June 1, 2017.

Software Development Costs - Blackboxstocks is engaged in the development of its proprietary Blackbox System technology, an algorithm driven system, through a combination of in house system analysts and outside contractors. Under the guidelines of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 985 the cost of the Company’s Blackbox System was expensed during development and the Blackbox System software for use in the US, reached technical feasibility in August 2016, became marketable and was made available to subscribers beginning September 1, 2016. The Blackbox System for use in China achieved technical feasibility during the quarter and became marketable and available to subscribers effective May 15, 2017. In continued accordance with ASC Topic 985 these costs were expensed until technical feasibility was achieved, costs incurred until May 15, 2017 were capitalized and subsequently amortized.

Prepaid Expenses - Prepaid expenses are current assets created when the Company makes payments or incurs an obligation for expenses identified for a future period.  The Company has prepaid for marketing and advertising services to be used over approximately the next twelve months and expensed a prorated amount during the quarter ended September 30, 2017. In addition, the Company entered into a consulting services agreement for investor relations advisory services for the period August 11, 2017 through February 10, 2018.

Stockholders’ Equity

3.   Stockholders’ Equity

The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $0.001 par value, 5,000,000 of which are designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” at $0.001 par value and 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock at $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”).

Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock do not accumulate dividends and are convertible into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Additionally, each share entitles the holder to 100 votes and, with respect to dividend and liquidation rights, the shares rank pari passu with the Company’s Common Stock.

On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Tiger Trade and its Stockholders (Note 1). Under the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, the Company offered and sold Seventeen Million Nine Hundred Thousand (17,900,000) newly issued shares of Company Common Stock and Five Million (5,000,000) newly issued shares of Company Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares of Tiger Trade capital stock. The effect of the issuance was that Tiger Trade stockholders acquired approximately 85.91% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Tiger Trade became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company as a result of the Exchange Agreement transaction.

Tiger Trade was subsequently merged with and into the Company on February 9, 2016, at which time all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Tiger Trade outstanding immediately before the effective date were canceled, retired and ceased to exist.

On February 10, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Cancellation Agreement with Gust C. Kepler, a Director, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Kepler cancelled and forfeited 835,010 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued a total of 3,310,000 shares of Common Stock at a cash price of $0.50 per share for a total of $1,655,000. However, the Company subsequently honored a request by one investor to rescind the purchase of 200,000 of such shares of Common Stock on October 28, 2016.

On September 28, 2017, the Company entered into a Stock Repurchase and Cancellation Agreement with Gust Kepler, a Director and the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company, pursuant to which the Company repurchased 110,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company in exchange for cancellation and forgiveness of debt obligations owed by Mr. Kepler to the Company for advances in the aggregate amount of $55,000.

Earnings or (Loss) Per Share

Earnings or (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings per share (or loss per share), is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potentially issuable shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities or exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Therefore, because including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and/or exercise of outstanding options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share, only the basic earnings (loss) per share is reported in the accompanying financial statements. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, the potential dilution would be 5,000,000 shares of common stock in the event the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are converted.
