(949) 769-3550

 

20,000,000 GX-Coins

 

This offering circular relates to the public offering of up to 20,000,000 GX-Coins of Great Coin, Inc. (“we,” “our” and “us”) including: 15,000,000 GX-Coins offered by us on a best efforts basis; and up to 5,000,000 GX-Coins offered by the selling securityholder identified in this offering circular on a best efforts basis (the “Offering”). There is no minimum amount of GX-Coins that must be sold by the company or selling securityholder.

 

The GX-Coins being sold by the selling securityholder were issued in a transaction made in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.

 

In making your investment decision, you should only rely on the information contained in this offering circular. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with any other or different information. If anyone provides you with information that is different from, or inconsistent with, the information in this offering circular, you should not rely on it. We believe the information in this offering circular is materially complete and correct as of the date on the front cover. We cannot, however, guarantee that the information will remain correct after that date. For that reason, you should assume that the information in this offering circular is accurate only as of the date on the front cover and that it may not still be accurate on a later date. This document may only be used where it is legal to sell these securities. The information contained in this offering circular is current only as of its date, regardless of the time of delivery of this offering circular or of any sales of GX-Coins.

 

This Offering will commence on the date the Offering Statement is qualified by the SEC and will conclude upon the earlier of: (i) the date the Offering is fully-subscribed; (ii) 180 days after qualification date of the Offering Statement; or (iii) upon a date determined by the board of directors. The Company, in its sole discretion, may extend the offering for an additional 90 days. The shares offered by the Company are offered on self-underwritten basis which means our officers, directors and employees will sell the shares in reliance on the broker-dealer registration safe harbor provided under Rule3a4-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This offering circular will permit our officers, directors and employees to sell shares directly to the public. No commission or other compensation related to the sale of the shares offered by the Company will be paid to the officers and directors. The Company does, however, reserve the right to engage registered broker-dealers to assist with this Offering.

 

Neither we, nor any of our officers, directors, agents or representatives, make any representation to you about the legality of an investment in GX-Coins. You should not interpret the contents of this offering circular to be legal, business, investment or tax advice. You should consult with your own advisors for that type of advice and consult with them about the legal, tax, business, financial and other issues that you should consider before investing in GX-Coins.

 

This offering circular does not offer to sell, or ask for offers to buy, any shares of GX-Coin in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation would be unlawful or where the person making the offer is not qualified to do so.

 

No action is being taken in any jurisdictions outside the United States to permit a public offering of GX-Coin or possession or distribution of this offering circular in those jurisdictions. Persons who come into possession of this offering circular in jurisdictions outside the United States are required to inform themselves about, and to observe, any restrictions that apply in those jurisdictions to this offering or the distribution of this offering circular.

 

Generally, no sale may be made to you in this offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission does not pass upon the merits of or give its approval to any securities offered or the terms of the offering, nor does it pass upon the accuracy or completeness of any offering circular or other solicitation materials. These securities are offered pursuant to an exemption from registration with the Commission; however, the Commission has not made an independent determination that the securities offered are exempt from registration.

 

The selling securityholder is considered a statutory underwriter under this Offering. We will not have an underwriter for our portion of the Offering and so we cannot guarantee how much, if any, of the offering will be sold by us.

 

The GX-Coins offered hereunder are being offered by us and the selling securityholder. We have not retained an underwriter to assist in our portion of the Offering of the GX-Coins. Our officers and directors have limited experience in the offer and sale of securities, and as a result, they may be unable to sell any of the GX-Coins.

 

Pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3)(ii) of the Securities Act, securities sold under this Offering will be made at a fixed price for the duration of the Offering.

 

We are providing this disclosure in the format prescribed by Part II of Form 1-A.

SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights material information in this offering circular. It may not contain all the information that is important to you. For additional information, you should read this entire offering circular carefully, including “Risk Factors” the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in the offering circular to “GREAT COIN,” ”we,” “us,” and “our” or similar terms are to be GREAT COIN, INC.

 

The Company

 

Great Coin, Inc. (the “Company” or “Great Coin”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 1, 2015.

 

On October 21, 2015, the Company and GX-Life Global, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“GX-Life Global”), entered into a subscription agreement whereby GX-Life Global acquired 5,000,000 restricted GX-Coins for a per share price of $0.50 per GX-Coin for re-sale (“Subscription Agreement”) under this Offering Statement for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000. GX-Life Global is a “selling securityholder” in this public offering as described in this Offering Statement.

 

Great Coin’s executive offices are located at 2 Park Plaza, Suite 400, Irvine, CA 92614. Our telephone number is: (949) 769-3550.

 

Summary

 

Great Coin is currently a technology development company focusing upon the deployment of innovative blockchain-based digital platforms to provide incentive and loyalty reward type programs across a number of vertical applications. Our flagship product is the technological development of “GX-Coin” a digital security that functions as a tradable financial asset similar to common equity of other corporations.

 

The technology underlying GX-Coin, its online trading platform and digital wallet are supported through advanced, proprietary blockchain applications being developed exclusively for the benefit of Great Coin. We believe when fully deployed GX-Coin will allow the establishment of proprietary electronic wallets, encrypted to assure tamper proof security, which will contain both cash deposits and GX -Coin account statements. It is through these wallets that participants can hold, buy and sell GX -Coin.  Our technology will allow other companies to “white label” the digital security with their own chosen name.  While we believe that GX-Coin may have a number of potential applications (including the possible elimination of existing trading protocols utilized on national exchanges and over-the-counter exchanges alike), our immediate emphasis is upon using the digital security as a form of reward points associated with any sales and marketing process.  Our initial market is supporting the GX-Life Global multi-level marketing program (discussed below), but this is by no means the only intended or possible application of GX-Coin or our proprietary technology.  We believe that our affiliation with GX-Life Global will allow a controlled, carefully monitored process to develop over time which can then be utilized as an example of the digital security technology. Great Coin intends for this proof of concept to allow it to market its blockchain technology services to other businesses so that they too can issue digital securities on the blockchain either via licensing deals to trade on new or existing trading platforms or via licensing and listing fees to use the Company’s online trading platform which will be established as an “ATS” regulated by the Securities Exchange Commission for alternative trading.

 

Seventy-five million (75,000,000) GX-Coins will be created with secure, 256-bit encryption. GX-Coins will be freely tradable on an online trading platform, and the price of a GX-Coin once on the trading platform will be determined by market forces through trading activity. 75,000,000 is the maximum amount of GX-Coins available as said number will be built into the code underlying the GX-Coin’s technical development. The Company plans to freely sell the GX-Coins directly and via GX-Life Global pursuant to this Offering Statement as a “digital security.” As a digital security, GX-Coin will be offered as an uncertificated security, the ownership and transfer of which are recorded on an encrypted, secured distributed ledger system using technology similar to the distributed ledger technology used for trading digital currencies.

 

The GX-Coin digital securities will be non-voting Class B common stock. Our existing Class A Common Stock is not currently publicly traded and we do not intend to sell securities of another class of the Company’s stock in a registered public offering. Instead, we expect to issue any such digital securities as a separate class to distinguish them from the outstanding securities of the Company.

Under the Subscription Agreement, GX-Life Global acquired 5,000,000 GX-Coins. GX-Life Global intends to distribute the GX-Coins to members of the GX-Life Global community as loyalty points for the members’ participation in the GX-Life Global community. Members of GX-Life Global will be able to redeem their status points, reward points, and status reward points for GX-Coin at 100 percent of their points’ dollar value. Members of GX-Life will sign up with GX-Life’s membership program as well as Great Coin’s platform to be able to freely trade the GX-Coins they earn. Each member of GX-Life Global will be issued a GX-Life Global-branded debit card that holds both redeemed cash and GX-Coin. Additionally, holders of GX-Coin will be able to use their GX-Coins to purchase products offered by GX-Life Global.

 

GX-Life Global is a multi-level marketing company that offers a diversity of products in industries ranging from tea to travel. There are two types of paid memberships in GX-Life Global: Standard memberships and VIP memberships. Standard memberships entitle the holder to a 10 percent discount from retail on all products offered by GX-Life Global. Standard members are required to purchase an initial product package (“starter kit”) upon enrollment. VIP memberships entitle the holder to a 20 percent discount from retail on all products offered by GX-Life Global and are further subdivided into four status levels: Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Jade. The price of each status level is denominated in status points, with the value of a status point fixed at $1 USD. Depending on the number of status points a VIP member has outstanding, he/she can earn daily status reward points at a rate of 0.0005 status reward points per status point. VIP members can use their status points and status reward points to purchase products offered by GX-Life Global. VIP members can also redeem their status points and status reward points for cash or GX-Coin at its real-time trading price. GX-Life Global will then issue the GX-Coins directly to the GX-Life Global member’s digital wallet to settle out the redemption. The GX-Coins will then be tradable on the Company’s online trading platform.

 

Michael Dunn and Ning Liu are current officers, directors and shareholders in GX-Life Global. Mr. Dunn and Mr. Liu are also officers, directors and shareholders in Great Coin.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The offering circular supplement applicable to each offering of our securities will contain a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, in addition to the specific risks set forth below, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the applicable offering circular supplement, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the offering circular supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in this offering circular. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed in our Financial Statements and other filings we make with the SEC after the date of this offering circular, all of which are incorporated herein by reference, and may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future and any offering circular supplement related to a particular offering. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations.

 

Risks Applicable to Digital Securities Offerings

 

GX-Coins will be created with secure, 256-bit encryption. GX-Coins will be freely tradable on an online platform, and the price of a GX-Coin will be determined by market forces through trading activity. The Company plans to initially issue GX-Coins registered under this Offering Statement directly to qualified investors. The Company has already privately issued GX-Coins to GX-Life Global who is a selling securityholder re-selling the GX-Coins to investors as provided herein. The GX-Coins, once issued by either the Company or GX-Life Global, will be freely tradable by the end-user investor on the trading platform as a “digital security.” As a digital security, GX-Coin will be offered as an uncertificated security, the ownership and transfer of which are recorded on an encrypted, secured distributed ledger system using technology similar to the distributed ledger technology used for trading digital currencies or Bitcoin.

 

The GX-Coin digital securities are our Class B non-voting common stock. Our existing Class A voting common stock is not currently publicly-traded and we do not intend to sell securities of another class of the Company’s stock in a registered public offering. Instead, we expect to issue any such digital securities as a separate class to distinguish them from the outstanding securities of the Company.

Effective September 1, 2015, we entered into a Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with 3Pillar Global, Inc. to develop and own the digital securities technology we refer to as the GX-Coins as well as to develop the online trading platform. We are also currently in discussions with several registered Alternative Trading Systems (“ATS”) to either license or acquire the operational capability to trade digital securities. If those negotiations are unsuccessful, we may ultimately register and develop an affiliated ATS on our own. We may also engage or acquire an affiliated broker-dealer for assistance in clearing trades on the ATS. The trading platform, which is currently in development, uses the same distributed ledger technology with the same algorithm-based consensus approach as that used for virtual currency. The distributed ledger technology underlying virtual currency is comprised of multiple copies of a synchronized ledger, or database, separately maintained by participants on the distributed ledger network, instead of a single ledger maintained by a trusted central authority. Transactions on the network, including those involving digital securities, are validated before being reflected on the distributed ledger through an algorithm-based consensus approach, instead of trusting a central authority to make the ledger entries. Participants in a distributed ledger include persons who have access to the ledger on a read-only basis, persons who can initiate changes to the ledger by participating in a transaction to be recorded on the ledger, and persons who validate the transactions on the ledger. Certain participants, typically the ones in charge of validating the transactions on the ledger, may receive transaction fees as an incentive to provide validation hardware and services to the network. Some or all of the participants in the distributed ledger system will be affiliated, controlled and/or operated by the Company.

 

In the case of Bitcoin, participants choosing to validate transactions do so by providing and powering the hardware needed by the network to solve complex algorithms and, in return, receive de minimis fees from the transferor as part of a bitcoin transaction recorded on the Bitcoin Blockchain. This is what makes the Bitcoin Blockchain an “open-source” system. The algorithms required to validate a transaction on the Blockchain become increasingly more complex, which requires an increasingly large percentage of the validation hardware to solve them. Once the solved algorithm is sufficiently complex, the transaction is deemed valid because a consensus of mining power must have been used to achieve the solution. Of course, the Bitcoin Blockchain is intended to be used as a currency ledger and the participants all treat it as such, but the transaction costs are so de minimis that it is feasible for the ATS to transfer a very small amount of bitcoin from one of its wallets to another in order to embed into the Bitcoin Blockchain and immutably store the transaction data for transfers of digital securities. The participants validating currency transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain would not have any role in verifying any of the transaction data associated with transfers of digital securities. Any compensation received by participants in the distributed ledger network is received without regard to the transaction relating to digital securities but rather is received in the ordinary course under the applicable ledger transaction protocol. Any such transaction fees are expected to be de minimis and are expected to be borne by the ATS, not by the issuer or holders of digital securities.

 

Established Digital securities platforms exist primarily outside of the United States though some are in development in the United States as well. Similar technology to the digital wallet, platform and database technology being developed with the assistance of 3 Pillar Global does exist in capacities inside and outside the “digital securities” space. We may decide to issue digital securities utilizing the existing digital securities ATS technology or on a new technology platform for digital securities developed in the future.

 

Digital securities are designed to enable trades to settle immediately or nearly immediately, unlike traditional securities, such as shares of common stock sold “over-the-counter” on marketplaces such as the OTCQB. Typical securities markets feature delayed settlements or “T+3 settlement” signifying a 3 day settlement delay. One advantage of our proposed digital securities platform and technology is to reduce the settlement delays associated with typical securities exchanges while increasing the transparency and verification capabilities. In addition, digital securities are designed to enable the securities holder to hold its securities directly or through its broker-dealer, outside the system for traditional securities where a physical certificate is held by Cede & Co., as nominee for the Depository Trust Company, or DTC, in which broker-dealers are participants and hold a beneficial interest in shares in "street name" for their customers. Digital securities are novel and untested and do not follow accepted conventions, such as T+3 settlement and the "street name" conventions used by DTC participants. As such, our digital securities are subject to the following additional risks as well as those described in the offering circular supplement applicable to the offering of such securities.

The distributed ledger technology used by the ATS is novel and untested with respect to digital securities.

 

Our digital securities will be traded on a novel, untested system developed by 3 Pillar Global and interfaced with our chosen ATS specifically for trading digital securities. This novel trading system is subject to all the usual risks associated with the fact it is new and untested, including:

 

·a rapidly-evolving regulatory landscape focused on digital currencies and, potentially, on the technology underlying distributed ledgers, which might include security, privacy or other regulatory concerns that could require the ATS to implement changes to its digital securities trading system that could disrupt trading in our digital securities;

 

·the possibility of undiscovered technical flaws, including in the process by which system participants come to agreement on the state of the distributed ledger and the ownership of the digital securities recorded on the ledger;

 

·the possibility that cryptographic security measures that authenticate transactions and the distributed ledger could be compromised, which could allow an attacker to alter the distributed ledger and the ownership of digital securities recorded on the ledger; and

 

·the possibility of breakdowns and trading halts as a result of undiscovered flaws in the ATS that could prevent trades for a period of time.

 

The digital securities trading ledger is publicly available which may give rise to privacy concerns.

 

The distributed ledger used to record transfers of ownership of our digital securities will be available to the public and stores the complete trading history from inception of the issuance of the digital securities. The digital securities are represented by ledger balances and secured by cryptographic key pairs and only the public-key-derived wallet address is exposed to the public on the distributed ledger. The personal identity information necessary to associate a public key representing a given block of digital securities with the owner of those securities will be maintained in a separate database that is not exposed to the public. As such, robust and transparent trading data, other than holder identity, with respect to our digital securities will be publicly available. This may make it more difficult for holders to execute certain trading strategies. If there are security breaches with respect to the holders' personal identity information database resulting in theft of the information necessary to link personal identity with public keys, the stolen information could be used to determine the affected holder's complete trading history in our digital securities. Moreover, concerns over these issues may limit adoption of this novel trading system by a range of potential investors, reducing liquidity of our digital securities.

 

Our digital securities may trade with limited volume and liquidity.

 

Because digital securities settle differently from traditional securities, such as shares of common stock traded over-the-counter, our digital securities cannot be listed for trading on any stock exchange or through any other trading platform. Digital securities will be issued or available for purchase and then traded exclusively on a specific trading system that is registered with the SEC as an alternative trading system, or ATS. With respect to the digital securities traded on an ATS, the system will be closed so that only subscribers to the ATS may buy and sell the digital securities. Users will create a digital wallet that houses their GX-Coins which will then interface with the ATS and allow members access to the trading platform. The Company is currently evaluating a broker-dealer’s role in facilitating the wallet transactions as well as whether users of the ATS system must set up a brokerage account to access the ATS for trading. We will update this Offering Circular as our transaction and clearance process becomes more definitive.

 

In addition, because the digital securities will be their own separate class of securities, distinct from any other securities, the ATS trading our digital securities is likely to experience limited trading volume with a relatively small number of shares trading on the ATS platform as compared to other securities trading on more robust trading platforms. As a result, this novel trading system may have limited liquidity, resulting in a lower or higher price or greater volatility than would be the case with greater liquidity. You may not be able to resell your digital securities on a timely basis or at all.

The private cryptographic keys associated with digital securities could be stolen.

 

Our digital securities are represented by ledger balances and secured by cryptographic key pairs. The associated private key is necessary to effect the sale of a given block of our digital securities and, as such, is meant to be kept private. The general public, however, is not yet accustomed to using secure cryptographic methods and managing private keys. To make the system more user-friendly, at least initially, either the ATS trading our digital securities or each broker-dealer participating on that ATS is expected to hold the private keys on behalf of securities holders. This will enable securities holders to manage their digital securities account with a simple login and password, similar to traditional online brokerage accounts. As such, initially, our digital securities may be as vulnerable to cyber theft as a traditional online brokerage account would be. If the repository is hacked and private keys are stolen, the thief could transfer affected digital securities to its own account and sell the digital securities. Each broker- dealer with access to the ATS trading our digital securities is expected to know its customers that have accounts set up for trading our digital securities, but there can be no assurance that such theft would be detected in time to hold the culprit accountable. The risk of theft of private keys is heightened so long as a centralized repository holds the private keys on behalf of security holders, as the thief is able to target a single security system for breach of multiple accounts.

 

The number of securities traded on a digital securities ATS may be very small, making the market price more easily manipulated.

 

While we intend to allow our digital securities to trade only on an ATS that has adopted policies and procedures such that digital security holders are not free to manipulate the trading price of digital securities contrary to applicable law, and while the risk of market manipulation exists in connection with the trading of any securities, the risk may be greater for our digital securities because the ATS on which they trade is a closed system that does not have the same breadth of market and liquidity as the national market system. There can be no assurance that the efforts of the ATS or the digital security holders' broker-dealers will be sufficient to prevent such market manipulation. For example, there can be no assurance that a security holder will not be able to manipulate the stock price by opening multiple accounts and trading among those accounts.

 

The payment mechanics for digital securities are novel and untested.

 

While we intend to allow our digital securities to trade only on an ATS that has adopted payment mechanics that match the speed and irrevocability associated with immediate or nearly immediate settlement of digital securities, the payment mechanics of the ATS are novel and untested. To the extent the ATS and applicable broker-dealer net capital regulations would permit broker-dealers to issue cash balances on the distributed ledger in amounts that exceed actual cash held by such broker-dealer in its customer accounts, there could be systemic risk to the system associated with payment defaults.

 

An ATS is not a stock exchange and has no listing requirements for issuers or for the securities traded.

 

There are no minimum price or other listing requirements for trading digital securities on the ATS like the Nasdaq Global Market or other NMS trading platform. As a result, trades of digital securities on the ATS may not be at prices that represent the national best bid or offer prices of securities that could be considered similar securities or that otherwise correspond to the prices of such securities on a national securities exchange.

 

Intellectual property rights claims may adversely affect the operation of the GX-Coin Platform.

 

Third parties may assert intellectual property claims relating to the operation of GX-Coin and their source code relating to the holding and transfer of such assets. Regardless of the merit of any intellectual property or other legal action, any threatened action that reduces confidence in the GX-Coin’s long-term viability or the ability of end-users to hold and transfer GX-Coins may adversely affect an investment in GX-Coins. Additionally, a meritorious intellectual property claim could prevent the Company and other end-users from accessing the GX-Coin platform or holding or transferring their GX-Coins. As a result, an intellectual property claim against the Company could adversely affect an investment in the GX-Coins.

 

Alternative digital securities may gain more credibility and acceptance than the GX-Coin or the GX-Coin platform resulting in a devaluation of our GX-Coin portfolio and the decreased effectiveness of GX-Life Global’s loyalty-based multi-level marketing program.

 

There are numerous different types of crypto-assets, digital securities and related exchanges and platforms. Any one of these different crypto-assets, digital securities or exchanges may gain more use than the GX-Coins thereby increasing the liquidity and value of the more accepted digital security which, in turn, decreases the use, value and acceptance of GX-Coin which will decrease the asset value of our GX-Coin holdings and the effectiveness of GX-Life Global’s GX-Coin loyalty-based multi-level marketing program. As a result, the value of the Company may decline.

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

 

We have a limited operating history and have not yet generated any revenues.

 

Our limited operating history makes evaluating the business and future prospects difficult, and may increase the risk of your investment.  Great Coin was formed in October 2015 and we have not yet begun producing revenue or licensing our blockchain-based technology. To date, we have no revenues. We intend in the longer term to derive revenues from the marketing and licensing of our blockchain-based technology. Our blockchain-based technology is in development and we have incurred significant development costs to date to develop the technology, and we do not expect to start generating revenue until the Offering Statement is qualified and the GX-Coins are being distributed and traded by GX-Life Global.

 

Our executive officers and directors are officers, directors and shareholders of GX-Life Global and Global Future City Holding and may have a conflict of interest.

 

Mr. Liu and Mr. Dunn, the sole officers and directors and majority shareholders of Great Coin are also officers, directors and shareholders of Global Future City Holding which is the parent of its wholly-owned subsidiary GX-Life Global. A conflict of interest may arise between the success of GX-Life Global and Great Coin business plans. This could have the effect of limiting the success of the business plans of Great Coin.

 

We may not be able to obtain adequate financing to continue our operations.

 

The ongoing technological development of our blockchain technology may continue to cost significant capital.  We expect that our current sources of liquidity, including the proceeds from this offering, will be sufficient to fund anticipated costs of operations based on current expectations and estimates. We may however need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related, or debt securities or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions to sustain future operations.  This capital may be necessary to fund ongoing operations, continue research, development and design efforts, and operate the technology and online trading platform.  We cannot assure anyone that we will be able to raise additional funds if needed.

 

Risks Related to the Investment in our Common Stock

 

The ownership of our common stock is concentrated among existing executive officers and directors.

 

Upon the sale of all of the GX-Coins offered in this offering, our executive officers and directors will continue to own beneficially, in the aggregate, a vast majority of the outstanding shares, including full voting control of the Company.  As a result, they will be able to exercise a significant level of control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, and approval of significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of Great Coin or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these shareholders.

 

GX-Coin Stockholders do not have voting rights limiting their ability to exercise control over our operations.

 

GX-Coin is classified as Class B nonvoting common stock which means that investors in this offering will not have voting rights with the Company. The GX-Coin stockholders also cannot prevent distributions or dividends to other classes of stock, including Class A common stock without a corresponding dividend or distribution to GX-Coin stockholders and all Preferred and Class A stockholders have preferential distribution rights to the Company’s assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company. As a result, GX-Coin holders have little control over the future operations of the Company and are at greater risk of losing their investment in the event of a failure of the Company to execute on its business plan.

 

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

 

Investors in this offering will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $0.78 per share or approximately 52% of the offering price of the shares if the maximum offering is sold at the mid-offering price of $1.50.  Further, if all of the shares offered hereby are sold, investors in this offering will own 50% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, but will have paid over 92% of the total consideration for our outstanding shares.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This offering circular, each offering circular supplement and the information incorporated by reference in this offering circular and each offering circular supplement contain certain statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The words "anticipate," "expect," "believe," "goal," "plan," "intend," "estimate," "may," "will," and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Those statements appear in this offering circular, any accompanying offering circular supplement and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, particularly in the sections entitled "Summary," "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business," and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the company and management that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section titled "Risk Factors" set forth above.

 

This offering circular, any offering circular supplement and the information incorporated by reference in this offering circular and any offering circular supplement also contain statements that are based on management's current expectations and beliefs, including estimates and projections about our company, industry, financial condition, results of operations and other matters. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that may cause actual results to vary materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

 

Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein after we distribute this offering circular, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in GX-Coin, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of the GX-Coins and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our capital stock after this offering.

 

The following table demonstrates the price that new investors are paying for their GX-Coins with the effective cash price paid by existing shareholders for pre-financing shares of $0.50. It reflects all transactions since inception, establishing a net tangible book value of $2,520,000 or $0.10 per share as of November 10, 2015. Net tangible book value is calculated as tangible assets less tangible liabilities. This method gives investors a better picture of what they will pay for their investment compared to the pre-financing investors than just including such transactions for the last 12 months, which is what the SEC requires. The table then gives effect to the sale of shares at the mid-range estimated offering price ($1.50) and at: (A) the minimum number of shares issued, (B) the mid-range number of shares issued, and (C) the maximum number of shares issued.

 

  Minimum Raise Mid-Range Raise Maximum Raise
Price per GX-Coin $1.50 $1.50 $1.50
GX-Coins Issued 0 10,000,000 20,000,000
Capital Raised $0.00 $15,000,000.00 $30,000,000.00
Net Tangible Book Value Pre-Financing** $2,520,000 $2,520,000 $2,520,000
Net Tangible Book Value Post-Financing** $2,520,000 $17,520,000 $32,520,000
       
GX-Coins Issued and Outstanding Pre-Financing 5,000,000 5,000,000 5,000,000
Post-Financing GX-Coins Issued and Outstanding 5,000,000 15,000,000 25,000,000
       
Net tangible book value per GX-Coin prior to offering $0.10 $0.10 $0.10
Increase/(Decrease) per GX-Coin attributable to new investors $0.00 $0.40 $0.62
Net tangible book value per GX-Coin after offering $0.10 $0.50 $0.72
Dilution per GX-Coin to new investors $0.00 $1.00 $0.78

 

*Investors should note that this calculation is made on the basis of the mid-point of the range of the estimated offering price. Since the company is estimating a range of prices, as explained in “Plan of Distribution,” earlier investors in the offering will suffer less immediate dilution and later investors will suffer more dilution compared to earlier investors and to the founders of the Company.
**Net Tangible Book Value incorporates value of all capital stock (including 20,000,000 shares of common stock issued at $0.001 to founder). The 20,000,000 shares of common stock are not being registered under this offering nor will the common stock be traded on the trading platform.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDER

 

The following table sets forth the number of GX-Coins which may be sold by the selling securityholder pursuant to this offering circular, of up to 5,000,000 GX-Coins, $0.001 par value per share. The 5,000,000 GX-Coins registered for resale on behalf of GX-Life Global represents up to 30% of the entire offering. The GX-Coins covered by this offering circular will be offered for sale from time to time by the selling securityholder identified in this offering circular in accordance with the terms described in the section entitled Plan of Distribution. We are also selling any securities under this offering circular but will not receive any proceeds from the sale of GX-Coins by the selling securityholder.

 

We agreed to register for resale the GX-Coins covered by this offering circular as a condition to the Subscription Agreement with GX-Life Global. We are registering these securities in order to permit the selling securityholder to dispose of the GX-Coin, or interests therein, from time to time, as provided in this Offering Statement.

 

The selling securityholder may ultimately sell all, some, or none of the securities listed below. See the Plan of Distribution. We cannot provide an estimate of the number of securities that the selling securityholder will hold in the future. For purposes of this table, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes voting power and investment power with respect to such securities.

 

The selling securityholder has had a material relationship with us during the last three years. See “Interest of Management and Others in Certain

Transactions.” No selling securityholder is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.

 

The table below lists the selling securityholder and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the GX-Coins by the selling securityholder. Column B lists the number of GX-Coins beneficially owned by each selling securityholder prior to this offering. Column C lists the GX-Coins covered by this offering circular that may be disposed of by the selling securityholder. Column D lists the number GX-Coins that will be beneficially owned by the selling securityholder assuming all of the shares covered by this offering circular are sold. Column E lists the percentage of GX-Coins beneficially owned by the selling securityholder after and assuming all of the GX-Coins covered by this offering circular are sold. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering 20,000,000 GX-Coins under this offering circular which consists of 15,000,000 GX-Coins sold directly by the Company and 5,000,000 on behalf of GX-Life Global as a selling securityholder. Except as described below, to our knowledge, the selling securityholder has not entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any particular broker or market maker with respect to the GX-Coins offered hereby, nor, except as described below, do we know the identity of the brokers or market makers that will participate in the sale of the shares.

 

Plan of Distribution for the Company

 

Our GX-Coins are currently not quoted on any market. No market may ever develop for our GX-Coins, or if developed, may not be sustained in the future. Accordingly, our GX-Coins should be considered totally illiquid, which inhibits investors’ ability to resell their shares.

 

All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our securities. Pursuant to oral promises we made to the selling securityholder, we will pay all the fees and expenses incident to the registration of the securities.

 

Should any substantial change occur regarding the status or other matters concerning the selling securityholder or us, we will file an amendment to this Offering Statement disclosing such matters.

Plan of Distribution for the Selling Securityholder

 

The selling securityholder may decide not to sell any GX-Coins. The selling securityholder may from time to time offer some or all GX-Coins through brokers, dealers or agents who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling securityholder and/or the purchasers of the GX-Coins for whom they may act as agent. In effecting sales, broker-dealers that are engaged by the selling securityholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. GX-Life Global is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any brokers, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the GX-Coins may also be deemed to be “underwriters,” and any profits on the sale of the GX-Coins by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. To the extent the selling securityholder may be deemed to be an underwriter, the selling securityholder will be subject to the offering circular delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of, including but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

 

Pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3)(ii) of the Securities Act, securities sold under this Offering by the selling securityholder will be made at a fixed price for the duration of the Offering.

 

The selling securityholder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made in a combination of methods of sale, at then prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The GX-Coins may be sold according to one or more of the following methods:

 

·a block trade in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the GX-Coins as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

·purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this offering circular;

 

·an over-the-counter distribution;

 

·ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

 

·privately negotiated transactions;

 

·a combination of such methods of sale; and

 

·any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

Any shares covered by this offering circular which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this offering circular. In addition, the selling securityholder may transfer the shares by other means not described in this offering circular.

 

 

 

 

 9 
 

 

Any broker-dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive commissions from GX-Life Global (and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such shares, from such purchaser). Broker-dealers may agree with GX-Life Global to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such a broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for GX-Life Global, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to GX-Life Global. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions and which may involve sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above) on the over-the-counter market, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such resales may pay to or receive from the purchasers of such shares commissions computed as described above. To the extent required under the Securities Act, an amendment to this offering circular, or a supplemental offering circular will be filed, disclosing:

 

·the name of any such broker-dealers;

 

·the number of shares involved;

 

·the price at which such shares are to be sold;

 

·the commission paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable;

 

·that such broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this offering circular, as supplemented; and

 

·other facts material to the transaction.

 

Underwriters and purchasers that are deemed underwriters under the Securities Act may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities, including the entry of stabilizing bids or syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids. GX-Life Global and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of, purchases by the selling securityholder or other persons or entities. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and certain other activities with respect to such securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to special exceptions or exemptions. Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making and certain other activities with respect to those securities. In addition, the anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the securities in the market. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares and the ability of any person to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.

 

We have agreed to pay the expenses of registering the GX-Coins under the Securities Act, including registration and filing fees, printing expenses, administrative expenses and certain legal and accounting fees, as well as certain fees of counsel for the selling securityholder incurred in the preparation and negotiation of the Subscription Agreement and the Offering Statement of which this offering circular forms a part. The selling securityholder will bear all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters, dealers or agents, as well as transfer taxes and certain other expenses associated with the sale of securities.

 

At any time a particular offer of the GX-Coins is made, a revised offering circular or offering circular supplement, if required, will be distributed. Such offering circular supplement or amendment will be filed with the SEC, to reflect the disclosure of required additional information with respect to the distribution of the GX-Coins. We may suspend the sale of GX-Coins by the selling securityholder pursuant to this offering circular for certain periods of time for certain reasons, including if the offering circular is required to be supplemented or amended to include additional material information.

 

There are no arrangements for the return of funds to subscribers in the event all of the securities to be offered are not sold.

Digital Securities and Trading Platform

 

GX-Coins will be created with secure, 256-bit encryption. GX-Coins will be freely tradable on an online platform once registered and issued under this Offering Statement, and the future price of a GX-Coin will be determined by market forces through trading activity as with typical equity securities. The Company plans to initially issue GX-Coins registered under this Offering Statement directly to qualified investors. The Company has already privately issued GX-Coins to GX-Life Global who is a selling securityholder re-selling the GX-Coins to investors as provided herein. The GX-Coins, once issued by either the Company or GX-Life Global, will be freely tradable by the end-user investor on the trading platform as a “digital security.” As a digital security, GX-Coin will be offered as an uncertificated security, the ownership and transfer of which are recorded on an encrypted, secured distributed ledger system using technology similar to the distributed ledger technology used for trading digital currencies. The Company may initially issue the GX-Coins as a certificated security in the event that the online trading platform is not established and operational at the time this Offering Statement is qualified by the Commission.

 

The GX-Coin digital securities are our Class B non-voting common stock. Our existing Class A voting common stock is not currently publicly-traded and we do not intend to sell securities of another class of the Company’s stock in a registered public offering. Instead, we expect to issue any such digital securities as a separate class to distinguish them from the outstanding securities of the Company.

 

Effective September 1, 2015, we entered into a Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with 3Pillar Global, Inc. to develop and own the digital securities technology we refer to as the GX-Coins as well as to develop the online trading platform. We are also currently in discussions with several registered Alternative Trading Systems (“ATS”) to either license or acquire the operational capability to trade digital securities. If those negotiations are unsuccessful, we may ultimately register and develop an affiliated ATS on our own. We may also engage or acquire an affiliated broker-dealer for assistance in clearing trades on the ATS. The trading platform, which is currently in development, uses the same distributed ledger technology with the same algorithm-based consensus approach as that used for virtual currency. The distributed ledger technology underlying virtual currency is comprised of multiple copies of a synchronized ledger, or database, separately maintained by participants on the distributed ledger network, instead of a single ledger maintained by a trusted central authority. Transactions on the network, including those involving digital securities, are validated before being reflected on the distributed ledger through an algorithm-based consensus approach, instead of trusting a central authority to make the ledger entries. Participants in a distributed ledger include persons who have access to the ledger on a read-only basis, persons who can initiate changes to the ledger by participating in a transaction to be recorded on the ledger, and persons who validate the transactions on the ledger. Certain participants, typically the ones in charge of validating the transactions on the ledger, may receive transaction fees as an incentive to provide validation hardware and services to the network. Some or all of the participants in the distributed ledger system will be affiliated, controlled and/or operated by the Company.

 

In the case of Bitcoin, participants choosing to validate transactions do so by providing and powering the hardware needed by the network to solve complex algorithms and, in return, receive de minimis fees from the transferor as part of a bitcoin transaction recorded on the Bitcoin Blockchain. This is what makes the Bitcoin Blockchain an “open-source” system. The algorithms required to validate a transaction on the Blockchain become increasingly more complex, which requires an increasingly large percentage of the validation hardware to solve them. Once the solved algorithm is sufficiently complex, the transaction is deemed valid because a consensus of mining power must have been used to achieve the solution. Of course, the Bitcoin Blockchain is intended to be used as a currency ledger and the participants all treat it as such, but the transaction costs are so de minimis that it is feasible for the ATS to transfer a very small amount of bitcoin from one of its wallets to another in order to embed into the Bitcoin Blockchain and immutably store the transaction data for transfers of digital securities. The participants validating currency transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain would not have any role in verifying any of the transaction data associated with transfers of digital securities. Any compensation received by participants in the distributed ledger network is received without regard to the transaction relating to digital securities but rather is received in the ordinary course under the applicable ledger transaction protocol. Any such transaction fees are expected to be de minimis and are expected to be borne by the ATS, not by the issuer or holders of digital securities.

 

Established Digital securities platforms exist primarily outside of the United States though some are in development in the United States as well. Similar technology to the digital wallet, platform and database technology being developed with the assistance of 3 Pillar Global does exist in capacities inside and outside the “digital securities” space. We may decide to issue digital securities utilizing the existing digital securities ATS technology or on a new technology platform for digital securities developed in the future.

 

 11 

 

 

Digital securities are designed to enable trades to settle immediately or nearly immediately, unlike traditional securities, such as shares of our common stock, trades of which settle on the third day following the day the purchase and sale commitment is made. This delayed settlement for traditional securities is known as "T+3 settlement," which stands for "trade date plus 3 days," and is the current standard in the United States for settlement of all traded securities other than digital securities. In addition, digital securities are designed to enable the securities holder to hold its securities directly or through its broker-dealer, outside the system for traditional securities where a physical certificate is held by Cede & Co., as nominee for the Depository Trust Company, or DTC, in which broker-dealers are participants and hold a beneficial interest in shares in “street name” for their customers. Digital securities are novel and untested and do not follow accepted conventions, such as T+3 settlement and the “street name” conventions used by DTC participants. As such, our digital securities are subject to the following additional risks as well as those described in the offering circular supplement applicable to the offering of such securities.

 

Master Services Agreement with 3Pillar Global

 

In connection with the MSA entered into with 3Pillar Global, 3Pillar Global will provide services set forth in one or more Statements of Work (“SOW”) for software development services. The pricing for the software development services are set forth in each SOW. In connection with the MSA, upon the Company’s full payment for services rendered under the MSA, the Company will have sole and exclusive ownership of all work product associated with the software development and all intellectual property rights associated therewith. Any technology independently developed by 3Pillar Global which is incorporated into the software work product remains the property of 3Pillar but a worldwide, royalty-free perpetual irrevocable license is granted to the Company for any 3Pillar technology used or incorporated into the work product.

 

The term of the MSA is for a period of thirty-six (36) months, renewable in successive 12-month increments unless terminated with at least ninety (90) days advanced notice for convenience.

 

On September 24, 2015, we entered into SOW #1 under the MSA in which it was agreed that 3Pillar Global would conduct an assessment to determine the level of effort, team size, and project timeline for a to-be-developed digital Platform (the “Platform”) for the transacting of business using our GX-Coins. The consideration for SOW #1 was $7,000 plus travel expenses. We paid 3Pillar Global a retainer of $15,000 as the services were to be performed in October 2015. On October 19, 2015, we entered into SOW #2 under which 3Pillar Global agreed to develop the Platform using blockchain and digital wallets to create and manage the distribution of our GX-Coins. On November 30, 2015, we entered into SOW#3 under which 3Pillar Global agreed to provide certain web development services including the delivery of HTML/JS/CSS files. On December 16, 2015, we entered into SOW #4 under the MSA in which 3Pillar Global agreed to provide a “Managed Products Team” to collaborate with the Company for the creation of a platform using blockchain technology and digital wallets to create and manage the distribution of GX-Coins.

 

The cost of these services is estimated to total $310,000, of which $246,000 has been paid to 3Pillar Global to date.

  

USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER

 

Unless otherwise indicated in any offering circular supplement, we will use the net proceeds from the sale of securities offered by us under this offering circular for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, capital expenditures, other corporate expenses and acquisitions of complementary products, or technologies to support the development of GX-Coins. The offering circular supplement with respect to an offering of offered securities may identify different or additional uses of proceeds for that offering. The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated needs of our business. As a result, unless otherwise indicated in any offering circular supplement, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds of the offering.

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of GX-Coins by the selling securityholder pursuant to this offering circular.

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Corporate History

 

Great Coin, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 1, 2015.

 

On October 21, 2015, the Company and GX-Life Global entered into a subscription agreement whereby GX-Life Global acquired 5,000,000 restricted GX-Coins for a per share price of $0.50 per GX-Coin for re-sale (“Subscription Agreement”) under this Offering Statement for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000. GX-Life Global is a “selling securityholder” in this public offering as described in this Offering Statement.

Business

 

Great Coin is currently a technology development company focusing upon the deployment of innovative digital platforms to provide incentive and loyalty reward type programs across a number of vertical applications.  Our flagship product is the technological development of “GX-Coin” a digital security that functions as a tradable financial asset similar to common equity of other corporations.

 

The technology underlying GX-Coin, its online trading platform and digital wallet are supported through advanced, proprietary blockchain applications being developed exclusively for the benefit of Great Coin. We believe when fully deployed GX-Coin will allow the establishment of proprietary electronic wallets, encrypted to assure tamper proof security, which will contain both cash deposits and GX -Coin account statements. It is through these wallets that participants can hold, buy and sell GX -Coin.  Our technology will allow other companies to “white label” the digital security with their own chosen name.  While we believe that GX-Coin may have a number of potential applications (including the possible elimination of existing trading protocols utilized on national exchanges and over-the-counter exchanges alike), our immediate emphasis is upon using the digital security as a form of reward points associated with any sales and marketing process.  Our initial market is supporting the GX-Life Global multi-level marketing program (discussed below), but this is by no means the only intended or possible application of GX-Coin or our proprietary technology.  We believe that our affiliation with GX-Life Global will allow a controlled, carefully monitored process to develop over time which can then be utilized as an example of the digital security technology. Great Coin intends for this proof of concept to allow it to market its blockchain technology services to other businesses so that they too can issue digital securities on the blockchain either via licensing deals to trade on new or existing trading platforms or via licensing and listing fees to use the Company’s online trading platform which will be established as an “ATS” regulated by the Securities Exchange Commission for alternative trading.

 

Seventy-five million (75,000,000) GX-Coins will be created with secure, 256-bit encryption. GX-Coins will be freely tradable on an online trading platform, and the price of a GX-Coin once on the trading platform will be determined by market forces through trading activity. 75,000,000 is the maximum amount of GX-Coins available as said number will be built into the code underlying the GX-Coin’s technical development. The Company plans to freely sell the GX-Coins directly and via GX-Life Global pursuant to this Offering Statement as a “digital security.” As a digital security, GX-Coin will be offered as an uncertificated security, the ownership and transfer of which are recorded on an encrypted, secured distributed ledger system using technology similar to the distributed ledger technology used for trading digital currencies.

 

The GX-Coin digital securities will be non-voting Class B common stock. Our existing Class A Common Stock is not currently publicly traded and we do not intend to sell securities of another class of the Company’s stock in a registered public offering. Instead, we expect to issue any such digital securities as a separate class to distinguish them from the outstanding securities of the Company.

 

Under the Subscription Agreement, GX-Life Global acquired 5,000,000 GX-Coins. GX-Life Global intends to distribute the GX-Coins to members of the GX-Life Global community as loyalty points for the members’ participation in the GX-Life Global community. Members of GX-Life Global will be able to redeem their status points, reward points, and status reward points for GX-Coin at 100 percent of their points’ dollar value. Members of GX-Life will sign up with GX-Life’s membership program as well as Great Coin’s platform to be able to freely trade the GX-Coins they earn. Each member of GX-Life Global will be issued a GX-Life Global-branded debit card that holds both redeemed cash and GX-Coin. Additionally, holders of GX-Coin will be able to use their GX-Coins to purchase products offered by GX-Life Global.

 

GX-Life Global is a multi-level marketing company that offers a diversity of products in industries ranging from tea to travel. There are two types of paid memberships in GX-Life Global: Standard memberships and VIP memberships. Standard memberships entitle the holder to a 10 percent discount from retail on all products offered by GX-Life Global. Standard members are required to purchase an initial product package (“starter kit”) upon enrollment. VIP memberships entitle the holder to a 20 percent discount from retail on all products offered by GX-Life Global and are further subdivided into four status levels: Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Jade. The price of each status level is denominated in status points, with the value of a status point fixed at $1 USD. Depending on the number of status points a VIP member has outstanding, he/she can earn daily status reward points at a rate of 0.0005 status reward points per status point. VIP members can use their status points and status reward points to purchase products offered by GX-Life Global. VIP members can also redeem their status points and status reward points for cash or GX-Coin at its real-time trading price. GX-Life Global will then issue the GX-Coins directly to the GX-Life Global member’s digital wallet to settle out the redemption. The GX-Coins will then be tradable on the Company’s online trading platform.

GX-Life Global – Key Partner

 

GX-Life Global is the Company’s key partner and largest re-seller of GX-Coins to its members via its status as selling securityholder under this Offering Statement. GX-Life Global is a multi-level marketing company that offers a diversity of products in industries ranging from tea to travel. There are two types of paid memberships in GX-Life Global: Standard memberships and VIP memberships. Standard memberships entitle the holder to a 10 percent discount from retail on all products offered by GX-Life Global. Standard members are required to purchase an initial product package (“starter kit”) upon enrollment. VIP memberships entitle the holder to a 20 percent discount from retail on all products offered by GX-Life Global and are further subdivided into four status levels: Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Jade. The price of each status level is denominated in status points, with the value of a status point fixed at $1 USD.

 

Members of GX-Life Global will act as independent distributors selling GX-Life Global products to end-users and other GX-Life Global members. Depending on the number of status points a VIP member has outstanding (which corresponds to the VIP status level the member has achieved), he/she can earn daily status reward points at a rate of 0.0005 status reward points per status point. VIP members can use their status points and status reward points to purchase products offered by GX-Life Global. VIP members can also redeem their status points and status reward points for cash or the digital security GX-Coin. The status points reward members for growing their independent business and moving up levels in the membership structure.

 

In the event a GX-Life Global member choses to redeem status points in GX-Coin rather than the cash owed to them, GX-Life Global, as a selling securityholder in this Offering, will issue the GX-Coins to the member as consideration for the member giving up its right to the cash consideration which would otherwise be owed by GX-Life Global to the member for redemption of the status points. At that point, GX-Life Global will issue the digital security by populating the member’s digital wallet for trading on the online platform. The member could then sell the GX-Coins at the market price on the online trading platform and Great Coin would settle the transaction and populate the member’s wallet with cash that they could withdraw to their debit account.

 

Both Standard and VIP members have the ability to join sales organizations (“trees”). Members of sales organizations can resell the discounted products they purchased from GX-Life Global at a suggested retail price. VIP members have the exclusive opportunity to earn overriding commissions on the sales of members up to three levels below them on their trees. Commissions are paid out in reward points, which are redeemable for cash or GX-Coins. Commission rates range from 1.25 percent to 35 percent of sales volume and depend on a VIP member’s status level and position in his/her tree.

 

Two different types of bonuses – member enrollment bonuses and initial product purchase bonuses – are available to Standard and VIP members. Member enrollment bonuses provide in-kind rewards to members for meeting recruitment goals. Initial product purchase bonuses incentivize new members to purchase starter kits.

 

GX-Life Global offers a diversified line of products in the following categories: beauty, energy, nutrition, and tea. In the beauty category, GX-Life Global has developed a line of high-end moisturizers, serums, and creams designed to protect the skin and combat the signs of aging.

Blockchain-Based Software Development Services

 

Great Coin's core business is as a technology development company focused upon the deployment of innovative block-chain based digital securities and trading platforms. In connection with the MSA entered into with 3Pillar Global, 3Pillar Global will provide services set forth in one or more Statements of Work (“SOW”) for software development services provided to the Company in a collaborative manner with Great Coin management. In connection with the MSA, upon the Company’s full payment for services rendered under the MSA, the Company will have sole and exclusive ownership of all work product associated with the software development and all intellectual property rights associated therewith. Any technology independently developed by 3Pillar Global which is incorporated into the software work product remains the property of 3Pillar but a worldwide, royalty-free perpetual irrevocable license is granted to the Company for any 3Pillar technology used or incorporated into the work product.

 

The Company’s first product launch of the services developed in conjunction with 3Pillar is that of GX-Life Global but the Company anticipates that the GX-Life Global plan of operations will help to validate its technology so that it can credibly market its services and technology to outside financial service providers, issuers and/or trading platforms. The Company has already held informal conversations with existing securities exchanges regarding our technology and how it may fit within their existing operations. The Company does plan to generate revenue from its relationship with GX-Life Global outside of the mere sale of the GX-Coins through the operation of the trading platform, the maintenance of the blockchain-based distributed ledger and other technological support services. This revenue may include transaction fees on the operation of the trading platform and services fees associated with maintaining the trading platform and the Company’s technology for use by GX-Life Global’s members.

 

The Company hopes that its “proof of concept” with GX-Life Global will allow it to expand the deployment of its technology across a number of vertical applications. This includes but is not limited to retail loyalty programs, financial service providers, corporate issuers and existing securities exchanges. The Company may charge licensing fees for use of its technology or may charge direct service fees or transaction fees as the direct operator of such vertical applications. Due to the novelty and untested nature of the Company’s technology, it is currently unclear what market prices may be charged for our services and, as such, it is still unclear whether substantial revenues can be generated by the provision of our services or technology to third parties. However, the Company is seeing a growing interest in blockchain-based technology with such well-known companies as Overstock.com and major financial service providers such as large broker-dealers and banking institutions and securities exchanges including Nasdaq. We do believe that we can achieve profitability once the uncertainty of the market for such technology and services lessens and we will assess how to better profit from our operations as our business develops.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Offering Statement reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this Offering Statement and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

 

Summary of Business

 

Great Coin is currently a technology development company focusing upon the deployment of innovative digital platforms to provide incentive and loyalty reward type programs across a number of vertical applications.  Our flagship product is the technological development of “GX-Coin” a digital security that functions as a tradable financial asset similar to common equity of other corporations.

 

The technology underlying GX-Coin, its online trading platform and digital wallet are supported through advanced, proprietary blockchain applications being developed exclusively for the benefit of Great Coin. We believe when fully deployed GX-Coin will allow the establishment of proprietary electronic wallets, encrypted to assure tamper proof security, which will contain both cash deposits and GX -Coin account statements. It is through these wallets that participants can hold, buy and sell GX -Coin.  Our technology will allow other companies to “white label” the digital security with their own chosen name.  While we believe that GX-Coin may have a number of potential applications (including the possible elimination of existing trading protocols utilized on national exchanges and over-the-counter exchanges alike), our immediate emphasis is upon using the digital security as a form of reward points associated with any sales and marketing process.  Our initial market is supporting the GX-Life Global multi-level marketing program (discussed below), but this is by no means the only intended or possible application of GX-Coin or our proprietary technology.  We believe that our affiliation with GX-Life Global will allow a controlled, carefully monitored process to develop over time which can then be utilized as an example of the digital security technology. Great Coin intends for this proof of concept to allow it to market its blockchain technology services to other businesses so that they too can issue digital securities on the blockchain either via licensing deals to trade on new or existing trading platforms or via licensing and listing fees to use the Company’s online trading platform which will be established as an “ATS” regulated by the Securities Exchange Commission for alternative trading.

 

Seventy-five million (75,000,000) GX-Coins will be created with secure, 256-bit encryption. GX-Coins will be freely tradable on an online trading platform, and the price of a GX-Coin once on the trading platform will be determined by market forces through trading activity. 75,000,000 is the maximum amount of GX-Coins available as said number will be built into the code underlying the GX-Coin’s technical development. The Company plans to freely sell the GX-Coins directly and via GX-Life Global pursuant to this Offering Statement as a “digital security.” As a digital security, GX-Coin will be offered as an uncertificated security, the ownership and transfer of which are recorded on an encrypted, secured distributed ledger system using technology similar to the distributed ledger technology used for trading digital currencies.

 

The GX-Coin digital securities will be non-voting Class B common stock. Our existing Class A Common Stock is not currently publicly traded and we do not intend to sell securities of another class of the Company’s stock in a registered public offering. Instead, we expect to issue any such digital securities as a separate class to distinguish them from the outstanding securities of the Company.

GX-Life Global is a multi-level marketing company that offers a diversity of products in industries ranging from tea to travel. There are two types of paid memberships in GX-Life Global: Standard memberships and VIP memberships. Standard memberships entitle the holder to a 10 percent discount from retail on all products offered by GX-Life Global. Standard members are required to purchase an initial product package (“starter kit”) upon enrollment. VIP memberships entitle the holder to a 20 percent discount from retail on all products offered by GX-Life Global and are further subdivided into four status levels: Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Jade. The price of each status level is denominated in status points, with the value of a status point fixed at $1 USD. Depending on the number of status points a VIP member has outstanding, he/she can earn daily status reward points at a rate of 0.0005 status reward points per status point. VIP members can use their status points and status reward points to purchase products offered by GX-Life Global. VIP members can also redeem their status points and status reward points for cash or GX-Coin at its real-time trading price. GX-Life Global will then issue the GX-Coins directly to the GX-Life Global member’s digital wallet to settle out the redemption. The GX-Coins will then be tradable on the Company’s online trading platform.

 

Subscription Agreement and Note with GX-Life Global

 

On October 21, 2015, GX-Life Global, Inc. (“GX-Life Global”) subscribed for and agreed to purchase from us 5,000,000 GX-Coins for a total subscription price of $2.5 million. GX-Life Global is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Future City Holding, Inc. (“Global”), a public company trading under the symbol FTCY on the OTCQB marketplace. We share common management with both GX-Life Global and Global and one of the largest shareholders of Global is one of our founders.

 

As payment for the GX-Coins, GX-Life Global issued us a Nonrecourse Purchase Money Promissory Note dated October 21, 2015 for the total subscription amount. The note, which bears interest at 5% per annum, matures one year from issuance. Repayment of the note shall be made in amounts and times selected by GX-Life Global (each a “Purchase Payment”) and no amount of accrued interest shall be convertible into GX-Coins.

GX-Coins acquired under the note shall neither be transferable nor encumbered and must be retained by GX-Life Global (the “Trading Restriction”) unless and until they are fully paid for. The number of GX-Coins released from the Trading Restriction shall equal the amount of each Purchase Payment divided by $0.50. On October 22, 2015, GX-Life Global completed the payment for 700,000 GX-Coins for consideration of $350,000 and, as such, the 700,000 GX-Coins became unencumbered.

 

At maturity, if the entire principal balance of the note has not been paid, GX-Life Global is required to return to us the number of GX-Coins calculated as follows: (a) $2.5 million minus the aggregate Purchase Payments divided by (b) $2.5 million times (c) 5,000,000 GX-Coins.

 

Development Stage Entity

 

The Company is a development stage company, with no revenues, in accordance with FASB ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE NO. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. The Company is in the process of developing blockchain-based technology for use in digital securities and trading platforms, including for use by retailers in digital security-based loyalty reward programs. The Company is currently seeking funding through the sale of its common stock to fund the ongoing stages of developing its technology. It is the company's intent to develop this blockchain-based technology for initial use in connection with GX-Life Global’s loyalty rewards program and plans to eventually market its technology to other businesses as well.

 

Management's plan in regard to the development of operations, upon adequate funding, is to continue payments to its development team 3Pillar Global as needed to assess, critique and fine-tune our digital wallets, distributed ledger and online trading platform. Work is also planned for mapping-out the site structure for anticipated increases in site traffic. Upon design and mapping we anticipate that additional developer(s) may be retained on a part-time or contract basis to support the launch of the system.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts, giving due consideration to materiality. We believe that, of our significant accounting policies (more fully described in the accompanying notes to the financial statements), the following are particularly important to the portrayal of our results of operations and financial position and may require the application of a higher level of judgment by our management, and as a result are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

We have a limited operating history and have not generated any revenues. Our ongoing business, beyond the issuance of GX-Coins, is to market our proprietary blockchain technology, when fully developed, to other companies and financial service providers as a means of providing a secure, transparent verification system to facilitate the trading of securities or execution of financial transactions using the “smart contract” technology inherent in the blockchain technology. The deployment of our proprietary blockchain technology into other companies and financial service providers depends on the ability to develop GX-Coin and deploy it effectively in connection with the GX-Life Global multi-level marketing plan. The market for future revenue generation outside of the GX-Coin system is as yet undefined and may be sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets and the general condition of the U.S. and world economy. A host of factors beyond our control could cause fluctuations in these conditions, including the political environment and acts or threats of war or terrorism. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions, including through recession, downturn or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

Our industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology and customer demands. As a result, products we may develop or acquire may quickly become obsolete and unmarketable. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer demands, and develop new products on a timely and cost-effective basis. Further, our products must remain competitive with those of other companies with substantially greater resources. We may experience technical or other difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of new products. Also, we may not be able to adapt new or enhanced products to emerging industry standards, and our new products may not be favorably received. Nor may we have the capital resources to further the development of our products.

 

Our operations are subject to new innovations in product design and function. Significant technical changes can have an adverse effect on product lives. Design and development of new products are important elements to achieve and maintain profitability in our Company’s industry segment. We may become subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, but we do not believe that such laws or regulations will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. We believe that our operations comply, in all material respects, with existing applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. The Company requires capital to develop its software platform for GX-Coins and to fund its losses for the foreseeable future until it can generate revenues from operating activities.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Since inception, funding for the Company has

been provided by deposits made on behalf of GX, a related party. In the future, funding is expected to be generated by payments received from the issuance of GX-Coins along with any revenue generating opportunities that we can exploit.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm issued an explanatory paragraph in their report regarding substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We intend to generate revenue from the operation of our online trading platform for GX-Coin and future issuers of digital securities and/or issuers wanting to license our technology. We will recognize revenues when (a) persuasive evidence that an agreement exists; (b) the products or services have been delivered; (c) the prices are fixed and determinable and not subject to refund or adjustment; and (d) collection of the amounts due is reasonably assured.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

The costs incurred in connection with the registration of our GX-Coins will be netted against the proceeds we expect to receive from the issuance of our GX-Coins. In the event we are not successful in our offering we will charge such costs to operations.

 

Internal-Use Software

 

We incur software development costs to develop software programs to be used solely to meet our internal needs and cloud based applications used to deliver our services. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal-Use Software, we capitalize development costs related to these software applications once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. In the event we are not able to successfully complete the platform or we abandon such, we may suffer a significant charge to operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We intend to generate revenue from the operation of our online trading platform for GX-Coin and future issuers of digital securities and/or issuers wanting to license our technology. We will recognize revenues when (a) persuasive evidence that an agreement exists; (b) the products or services have been delivered; (c) the prices are fixed and determinable and not subject to refund or adjustment; and (d) collection of the amounts due is reasonably assured.

 

Our GX-Coins will be issued initially for $0.50 per coin with all proceeds accounted for as equity. No revenue will be recognized in connection with the issuance of the GX-Coins.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for our stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-20, Stock-based Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite vesting period.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The FASB issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. We believe those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to our Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on us.

Results of Operations for the Period Inception through September 30, 2015

 

Net Revenues and Cost of Revenues

 

As stated in Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements under Business and Plan of Operations, we currently have no revenue producing operations.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the period Inception through September 30, 2015 were $67,196. These expenses mainly consisted of stock- based compensation ($20,000), professional fees for legal services ($28,679) and other consulting costs fees and expenses to determine the efficacy of our software platform concept ($17,867).

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2015, our principal source of liquidity is deposits from GX-Life Global (“GX-Life Global”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Future City Holding, Inc. (“Global”), a public company trading under the symbol FTCY on the OTCQB marketplace. Going forward, funding is expected to be generated by issuances of GX-Coins to GX-Life Global and others along with any revenue generating opportunities that we can exploit. Our principal short- term and long-term liquidity needs have been, and are expected to be, funding operating losses until profitability is achieved and making expenditures for general corporate purposes.

 

Recently the Securities and Exchange Commission approved an S-1 Registration under which Global can begin selling up to 10.0 million of its shares at $3.50 per share. An important part of Global’s business plan is the use of GX-Coins in customer loyalty programs designed to maximize customer retention. As a result, we believe that, while there is no assurance that Global, through GX, will continue to subscribe and pay for GX-Coins, it is in their best interest to do so.

 

Cash Flows

 

Please see the Statement of Cash Flows in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Operating Activities

 

As of September 30, 2015, our cash used in operating activities consisted of our net loss plus prepaid expenses partially offset by stock-based compensation plus our accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Financing Activities

 

As of September 30, 2015, our cash generated from financing activities consisted of deposits received from GX, a related party, partially offset by our deferred financing costs paid.

Michael R. Dunn, our current Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and member of our Board of Directors, was appointed to all positions with the Company on September 2, 2015.

From December 1995 through 2010, Mr. Dunn was the Chief Executive Officer of Bankers Integration Group, Inc., an e-commerce company serving the automotive finance and insurance industry. At Bankers Integration Group, Mr. Dunn was responsible for funding and designing the overall product lifecycle strategy for an e-Commerce platform in the automotive finance and insurance industry, including competitive analysis, cost-benefit analysis, managing strategic partner relationships and integrations, adoption of market strategies, in-field user analysis, and manage follow-on enhancements.

SECURITIES BEING OFFERED

 

The following information describes our common stock and preferred stock, as well as certain provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws. This description is only a summary. You should also refer to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to our Offering Statement, of which this offering circular forms a part.

General

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 125,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. Our common stock is divided into two (2) classes: Class A Common Stock which has 50,000,000 authorized shares and has full voting rights and “GX-Coin” which is a form of Class B nonvoting common stock which has 75,000,000 authorized shares. Our board of directors may establish the rights and preferences of the preferred stock from time to time. As of November 10, 2015, there were 20,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, 5,000,000 shares of GX-Coin issued and outstanding, and 0 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Our board of directors is authorized, without stockholder approval, to issue additional shares of our capital stock.

 

The following is a summary of the material provisions of the common stock and preferred stock provided for in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws:

 

Common Stock: The par value of both of the Class A Common Stock and the GX-Coin is $0.001 per share. Except as otherwise provide herein, all shares of Class A Common Stock and GX-Coin will be identical and will entitle the holders thereof to the same rights and privileges.

 

· Voting Rights. The holders of Class A Common Stock shall have the general right to vote for all purposes, including the election of directors, as provided by law. Each holder of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share thereof held. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of GX-Coin shall have no voting rights.

 

· Dividends and Distributions. Subject to the preferential and other dividend rights of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, holders of Class A Common Stock and GX-Coin shall be entitled to such dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Corporation as may be declared thereon by the Board of Directors from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor. A dividend or other distribution may be declared or paid on any share of Class A Common Stock without a like dividend or other distribution simultaneously declared or paid, as the case may be, on each share of GX-Coin. All dividends and distributions on the Class A Common Stock and GX-Coin payable in Common Stock of the Corporation shall be made in shares of Class A Common Stock and GX-Coin, respectively.

 

· Distribution of Assets. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, holders of GX-Coin will be entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders after all amounts to which the holders of any Preferred Stock or Class A Common Stock are entitled have been paid or set aside in cash for payment.

 

Preferred Stock: The Preferred Stock may be divided into such number of series as the Board of Directors may determine. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine and alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock, and to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock and the designation of any such series of Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors, within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, may increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series. The Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.001 per share.

 

For additional detail about our capital stock, please refer to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

 

To the extent we issue shares of our capital stock with voting rights as digital securities, the retail holder of these shares will be the record holder and may vote these digital securities directly in the same manner as other record holders of our securities. Traditional securities are typically held in “street name” by a broker-dealer that is a participant of DTC which is the record holder through its nominee Cede & Co. Holders of traditional securities may not show up to a stockholder meeting and vote their shares without first making special arrangements with the broker-dealer that owns the shares of record and holds the voting power associated with the shares.

 

Other than the differences described above, the rights of digital securities are expected to be identical to the rights of traditional securities.

 

Warrants and Stock Options

 

None.

 

Dividends

 

Dividends, if any, will be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and financial conditions. The payment of dividends, if any, will be within the discretion of our Board. We intend to retain earnings, if any, for use in its business operations and accordingly, the Board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Great Coin, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Great Coin, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2015, and the related statements of operations, shareholder’s deficit, and cash flows for the period from inception (September 1, 2015) through September 30, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Great Coin, Inc. as of September 30, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company suffered losses from operations, has significant working capital deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.Corporate History and Business

 

Corporate History

 

Great Coin, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 1, 2015 in the State of Nevada. Under our Articles of Incorporation, we are authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, 50,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, and 75,000,000 shares of GX-Coin Common Stock (“GX-Coins”). As of September 30, 2015, we have issued 20,000,000 Class A common shares, 10,000,000 to designees of our Chief Executive Officer and 10,000,000 to our Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating Officer.

 

Business

 

Great Coin, Inc., is currently a technology development company focusing upon the deployment of innovative digital platforms to provide incentive and loyalty reward type programs across a number of vertical applications. The Company is a development stage company, with no revenues, in accordance with FASB ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE NO. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation. Great Coin, Inc., is currently seeking funding through the sale of its common stock to fund the ongoing stages of developing its technology.

 

Our flagship product is the technological development of “GX-Coin” a digital security that functions as a tradable financial asset similar to common equity of other corporations.

 

Seventy-five million (75,000,000) GX-Coins will be created with secure, 256-bit encryption. GX-Coins will be freely tradable on an online trading platform, and the price of a GX-Coin once on the trading platform will be determined by market forces through trading activity. 75,000,000 is the maximum amount of GX-Coins available as said number will be built into the code underlying the GX-Coin’s technical development. The Company plans to freely sell the GX-Coins directly and via GX-Life Global pursuant to this Offering Statement as a “digital security.” As a digital security, GX-Coin will be offered as an uncertificated security, the ownership and transfer of which are recorded on an encrypted, secured distributed ledger system using technology similar to the distributed ledger technology used for trading digital currencies.

 

The GX-Coin digital securities will be non-voting Class B common stock. Our existing Class A Common Stock is not currently publicly traded and we do not intend to sell securities of another class of the Company’s stock in a registered public offering. Instead, we expect to issue any such digital securities as a separate class to distinguish them from the outstanding securities of the Company.

 

Our business is initially focused on the registration and issuance of up to 20,000,000 GX-Coins. We plan to initially issue the GX-Coins to individuals and companies that will use them in connection with marketing and product loyalty programs. The acquirers of the GX-Coins may also, under certain circumstances, elect to sell them to other interested parties.

 

The technology underlying GX-Coin, its online trading platform and digital wallet are supported through advanced, proprietary blockchain applications being developed exclusively for the benefit of Great Coin, Inc. Management's plan in regard to the development of operations, upon adequate funding, is to continue payments to its development team 3Pillar Global as needed to assess, critique and fine-tune our digital wallets, distributed ledger and online trading platform. Work is also planned for mapping-out the site structure for anticipated increases in site traffic. Upon design and mapping we anticipate that additional developer(s) may be retained on a part-time or contract basis to support the launch of the system.

 

We believe when fully deployed GX-Coin will allow the establishment of proprietary electronic wallets, encrypted to assure tamper proof security, which will contain both cash deposits and GX-Coin account statements. It is through these wallets that participants can hold, buy and sell GX-Coin.  Our technology will allow other companies to “white label” the digital security with their own chosen name.  While we believe that GX-Coin may have a number of potential applications (including the possible elimination of existing trading protocols utilized on national exchanges and over-the-counter exchanges alike), our immediate emphasis is upon using the digital security as a form of reward points associated with any sales and marketing process.  Our initial market is supporting the GX-Life Global multi-level marketing program (discussed below), but this is by no means the only intended or possible application of GX-Coin or our proprietary technology.  We believe that our affiliation with GX-Life Global will allow a controlled, carefully monitored process to develop over time which can then be utilized as an example of the digital security technology. Great Coin intends for this proof of concept to allow it to market its blockchain technology services to other businesses so that they too can issue digital securities on the blockchain either via licensing deals to trade on new or existing trading platforms or via licensing and listing fees to use the Company’s online trading platform which will be established as an “ATS” regulated by the Securities Exchange Commission for alternative trading.

 

 F-6 

 

 

GX-Life Global is a multi-level marketing company that offers a diversity of products in industries ranging from tea to travel. There are two types of paid memberships in GX-Life Global: Standard memberships and VIP memberships. Standard memberships entitle the holder to a 10 percent discount from retail on all products offered by GX-Life Global. Standard members are required to purchase an initial product package (“starter kit”) upon enrollment. VIP memberships entitle the holder to a 20 percent discount from retail on all products offered by GX-Life Global and are further subdivided into four status levels: Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Jade. The price of each status level is denominated in status points, with the value of a status point fixed at $1 USD. Depending on the number of status points a VIP member has outstanding, he/she can earn daily status reward points at a rate of 0.0005 status reward points per status point. VIP members can use their status points and status reward points to purchase products offered by GX-Life Global. VIP members can also redeem their status points and status reward points for cash or GX-Coin at its real-time trading price. GX-Life Global will then issue the GX-Coins directly to the GX-Life Global member’s digital wallet to settle out the redemption. The GX-Coins will then be tradable on the Company’s online trading platform.

 

Plan of Operation

 

With respect to ongoing operations, once the GX-Coins have gained market acceptance, we plan to enter into joint marketing arrangements with holders of the GX-Coins for negotiated fees. In addition, we anticipate evaluating acquisition opportunities that will provide revenue and create additional shareholder value. We currently have no definitive plans as yet for these arrangements or acquisition opportunities.

 

We intend to generate revenue from the operation of our online trading platform for GX-Coin and future issuers of digital securities and/or issuers wanting to license our technology. We will recognize revenues when (a) persuasive evidence that an agreement exists; (b) the products or services have been delivered; (c) the prices are fixed and determinable and not subject to refund or adjustment; and (d) collection of the amounts due is reasonably assured.

 

On October 21, 2015, we entered into a Subscription Agreement with GX-Life Global, Inc. (“GX”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Future City Holding, Inc. (“Global”) and a company with common officers and directors. Under the Subscription Agreement, GX-Life Global subscribed for and agreed to purchase 5,000,000 in GX-Coins at a price of $0.50 each for a total subscription price of $2,500,000. As of September 30, 2015, we had received advances from Global and one of its subsidiaries, on behalf of GX, totaling $33,935. Subsequent to September 30, 2015, these advances were used as partial payment for 700,000 GX-Coins. For further information, see Note 5.

 

2.Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31st.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

We have a limited operating history and have not generated any revenues. Our ongoing business, beyond the issuance of GX-Coins, is to market our proprietary blockchain technology, when fully developed, to other companies and financial service providers as a means of providing a secure, transparent verification system to facilitate the trading of securities or execution of financial transactions using the “smart contract” technology inherent in the blockchain technology. The deployment of our proprietary blockchain technology into other companies and financial service providers depends on the ability to develop GX-Coin and deploy it effectively in connection with the GX-Life Global multi-level marketing plan. The market for future revenue generation outside of the GX-Coin system is as yet undefined and may be sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations in debt and equity capital markets and the general condition of the U.S. and world economy. A host of factors beyond our control could cause fluctuations in these conditions, including the political environment and acts or threats of war or terrorism. Adverse developments in these general business and economic conditions, including through recession, downturn or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

Our industry is characterized by rapid changes in technology and customer demands. As a result, products we may develop or acquire may quickly become obsolete and unmarketable. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to technological advances, anticipate customer demands, and develop new products on a timely and cost-effective basis. Further, our products must remain competitive with those of other companies with substantially greater resources. We may experience technical or other difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of new products. Also, we may not be able to adapt new or enhanced products to emerging industry standards, and our new products may not be favorably received. Nor may we have the capital resources to further the development of our products.

 

 F-7 

 

 

Our operations are subject to new innovations in product design and function. Significant technical changes can have an adverse effect on product lives. Design and development of new products are important elements to achieve and maintain profitability in our Company’s industry segment. We may become subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, but we do not believe that such laws or regulations will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. We believe that our operations comply, in all material respects, with existing applicable federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. The Company requires capital to develop its software platform for GX-Coins and to fund its losses for the foreseeable future until it can generate revenues from operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Since inception, funding for the Company has been provided by deposits made on behalf of GX, a related party. In the future, funding is expected to be generated by payments received from the issuance of GX-Coins along with any revenue generating opportunities that we can exploit.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

As stated in Note 1 under Business and Plan of Operations, we currently have no revenue producing operations. At such time that we begin to generate revenue, we will record revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition. Therefore the Company will recognize revenues when (a) persuasive evidence that an agreement exists; (b) the products or services have been delivered; (c) the prices are fixed and determinable and not subject to refund or adjustment; and (d) collection of the amounts due is reasonably assured.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000 per institution that pays Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance premiums. We have never experienced any losses related to these balances.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

The costs incurred in connection with the registration of our GX-Coins will be netted against the proceeds we expect to receive from the issuance of our GX-Coins.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the guidance of ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of our Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company's financial instruments consisted primarily of (level 1) accounts payable, accrued expenses and deposits, and notes payable. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments generally approximate their fair values due to the short term nature of these instruments.

 

As of September 30, 2015, we did not have any level 2 or 3 assets or liabilities.

We incur software development costs to develop software programs to be used solely to meet our internal needs and cloud based applications used to deliver our services. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal-Use Software, we capitalize development costs related to these software applications once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended.

 

Issuance of GX-Coins

Our GX-Coins will be issued initially for $0.50 per coin with all proceeds accounted for as equity. No revenue will be recognized in connection with the issuance of the GX-Coins. In addition, in accordance with the SEC’s codification of Staff Accounting Bulletins, Topic 4, for any issuance of GX-Coins for which we have not received payment, we reflect such unpaid subscription receivable as a deduction from Shareholder’s Equity or Deficit and not as an asset.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-20, Stock-based Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite vesting period.

 

Income Taxes

We have not yet filed any income tax returns. We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at currently effective tax rates, of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that have been recognized on a cumulative basis in the consolidated financial statements. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment. Deferred tax assets consisting of net operating loss carryforwards were approximately $20,000 and fully reserved as we have no history of earnings.

 

ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. We classify interest and penalties as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, there have been no interest or penalties assessed or paid.

 

We measure and record uncertain tax positions by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized.

 

Net Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. As currently issued and amended, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, though early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.

 

3.Capital Stock

 

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001. The preferred stock may be divided into such number of series as the Board of Directors may determine. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine and alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed upon any wholly unissued series of preferred stock, and to fix the number of shares of any series of preferred stock and the designation of any such series of preferred stock.

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 75,000,000 of GX-Coins, each with a par value of $0.001. The holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. GX-Coins are non-voting.

 

Subject to the preferential and other dividend rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock, holders of Class A common stock and GX-Coins stock shall be entitled to such dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of the Company as may be declared by the Board of Directors from time to time out of assets or funds of the Company legally available. A dividend or other distribution may be declared or paid on any share of Class A common stock without a like dividend or other distribution simultaneously declared or paid, as the case may be, on each share of GX-Coins. All dividends and distributions on the Class A common stock and the GX-Coins payable in common stock of the Company shall be made in shares of Class A common stock and GX-Coins, respectively.

 

4.3Pillar Global (“3Pillar”) Agreement

 

On September 1, 2015, we entered into a Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with 3Pillar under which 3Pillar agreed to perform software development services as set forth in one or more Statements of Work (“SOW”) at pricing agreed to within each SOW. On September 24, 2015, we entered into SOW #1 under the MSA in which it was agreed that 3Pillar would conduct an assessment to determine the level of effort, team size, and project timeline for a to-be-developed EGoldCoin Platform (the “Platform”) for the transacting of business using our GX-Coins. The consideration for SOW #1 was $7,000 plus travel expenses. We paid 3Pillar a retainer of $15,000 which has been recorded as a prepaid expense in the accompanying balance sheet, as the services were to be performed in October 2015. On October 19, 2015, we entered into SOW #2 under which 3Pillar agreed to develop the Platform using blockchain and digital wallets to create and manage the distribution of our GX-Coins. The cost of these services is estimated to total $310,000, of which $138,000 was paid to 3Pillar in October 2015.

 

5.Subsequent Events

 

GX-Life Global Subscription Agreement

As stated in Note 1, on October 21, 2015, GX-Life Global subscribed for and agreed to purchase from us 5,000,000 GX-Coins for a total subscription price of $2.5 million. GX-Life Global is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Future City Holding, Inc. (“Global”), a public company trading under the symbol FTCY on the OTCQB marketplace. We share common management with both GX-Life Global and Global and one of the largest shareholders of Global is one of our founders.

 

As payment for the GX-Coins, GX-Life Global issued us a Nonrecourse Purchase Money Promissory Note dated October 21, 2015 for the total subscription amount. The note, which bears interest at 5% per annum, matures one year from issuance. Repayment of the note shall be made in amounts and times selected by GX-Life Global (each a “Purchase Payment”) and no amount of accrued interest shall be convertible into GX-Coins. We will account for the outstanding balance, if any, of the note as a reduction of Shareholders’ Deficit.

 

GX-Coins acquired under the note shall neither be transferable nor encumbered and must be retained by GX-Life Global (the “Trading Restriction”) unless and until they are fully paid for. The number of GX-Coins released from the Trading Restriction shall equal the amount of each Purchase Payment divided by $0.50. On October 22, 2015, GX-Life Global completed the payment for 700,000 GX-Coins for consideration of $350,000 and, as such, the 700,000 GX-Coins became unencumbered.

 

At maturity, if the entire principal balance of the note has not been paid, GX-Life Global is required to return to us the number of GX-Coins calculated as follows: (a) $2.5 million minus the aggregate Purchase Payments divided by (b) $2.5 million times (c) 5,000,000 GX-Coins.

 

Recently the Securities and Exchange Commission approved an S-1 Registration under which Global can begin selling up to 10.0 million of its shares at $3.50 per share. An important part of Global’s business plan is the use of GX-Coins in customer loyalty programs designed to maximize customer retention. As a result, we believe that, while there is no assurance that Global, through GX-Life Global, will continue to subscribe and pay for GX-Coins, it is in their best interest to do so.
