PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED JULY ____, 2020
2,962,480 Shares of Common Stock
This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 2,962,480 shares (the "Shares") of our common stock, par value $0.001 (the "Common Stock") by our securityholders (the "Selling Stockholders") that acquired securities in (i) our private placement consummated on February 26, 2020 (the "Private Placement"), and (ii) our share exchange transaction consummated on March 18, 2020 (the "Share Exchange"). Please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled "The Private Placement and Share Exchange" for a description of the Private Placement and Share Exchange and the section entitled "Selling Stockholders" for additional information regarding the Selling Stockholders.
We are not selling any Shares in this offering. We, therefore, will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders.
We have paid and will pay the expenses incurred in registering the Shares, including legal and accounting fees. See "Plan of Distribution."
The Selling Stockholders may sell the Shares described in this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. The prices at which the Selling Stockholders may sell the Shares in this offering will be determined by the prevailing market price for the shares of our Common Stock or in negotiated transactions. See "Plan of Distribution" for more information about how the Selling Stockholders may sell the Shares being registered pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders may be deemed "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Selling Stockholders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Shares.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock. We intend to seek a listing of our Common Stock on the OTCQB, which is an interdealer quotation system maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. The Shares may be sold by the Selling Securityholders on an immediate and continuing basis. The Selling Securityholders will sell at $2.50 per Share until our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB marketplace and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares by the Selling Securityholders.
We are an "emerging growth company" under applicable federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY The following summary highlights certain of the information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this is only a summary, however, it does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities and it is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information included elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Before you make an investment decision, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the risks of investing in our securities discussed under the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors" and similar headings. You should also carefully read our financial statements, and the exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Dito Inc. Business Overview Dito is a business to business ("B2B") early stage software developer with offices in London and New York. We intend to license our software platform to mobile gaming operators and developers to enable rapid development of new games. Dito was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 23, 2019 under the name Dito, Inc., created for the purpose of the registration contemplated hereby, and became our holding company by way of a share-for-share exchange in which all of the existing shareholders of Dito UK Limited, an English corporation, company number 11047028 ("Dito UK"), exchanged their ordinary shares in Dito UK for shares of Common Stock in Dito, Inc. Our registered office in the United States is located at 413 West 14th Street, New York, New York 10014, and our telephone number is +1 (347) 983-1227. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Dito UK, leases office facilities in London, England and is located at 184 Shepherds Bush Road, London, England W6 7NL. All of our operations are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, Dito UK. On August 10, 2018, the Company (through Dito UK) entered into an Asset Sale Agreement (the "Sale Agreement") with GameTech UK Limited ("GameTech") pursuant to a Court Order (the "Order") issued by the Joint Administrators of GameTech UK Limited (in administration) on May 29, 2018. GameTech's last full year of operations was the year ended December 31, 2016 and it had nominal revenues in such year. On May 11, 2017, administrators were appointed for GameTech and GameTech entered insolvency proceedings. Approximately fifteen months later, the administrators of GameTech entered into the Sale Agreement with the Company (through Dito UK). The Company (through Dito UK) acquired the intellectual property assets of GameTech, a non-operational business in insolvency proceedings, consisting of gaming software and a related technology platform. The software was acquired under the expectation that it would require significant modifications to be able to be utilized in the Company's anticipated business model, which is software licensing to mobile game operators and developers. Following the acquisition of Gametech's intellectual property assets out of receivership, Dito UK has made improvements to the core software platform. As a result, we have re-positioned ourselves as a B2B developer of gaming software which can power the games of B2C providers. The improvements we have made include the migration of the software from physical server dependencies to cloud based deployment (via Amazon Web Services) and removing the dependency on third-party applications and replacing them with AWS native alternatives. Our software also has the capability to allow games to be chained together, through a "state machine", which allows for a wider variety of games to be created on our software platform. As a software developer (and not an operator), we believe we are not required to obtain licenses for our products. With our current software platform, all regulatory oversight and licensing responsibility falls to the B2C operator (Dito's customers). Companies who want to create games using Dito's core software platform are required to meet their own regulatory requirements (where applicable). |
|
Our Strategy Dito's core sales strategy will be focused on the licencing of our platform under a Platform as a Service (PaaS) model to third parties. The PaaS license is based on an installation fee and revenue share agreement. While we do not currently have any such agreements in place, we anticipate that these agreements, once entered into, will generate revenue in three ways (i) clients would be charged an initial setup fee, (ii) clients will be charged monthly fees for use of the platform, and (iii) we would receive up to 50% of the gross gaming revenue. Our Software Platform Our core software platform is entirely cloud-based and hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This allows the software to be deployed in any AWS-supported region globally. These regions are currently spread over the following continents: North America, South America, Europe, Asia (including the Middle East) and Africa. Dito has a mobile-centric development focus and we keep up to date on any significant changes in the mobile gaming sector and use this research to find ways to improve our software platform. We prefer to use infrastructure as code using Terraform. This means that replicating the cloud-based deployment environment can be done in a matter of hours, as opposed to matter of weeks using older approaches. There are also significant advantages to Terraform beyond automation, such as infrastructure declaration, which makes learning the infrastructure a much faster and simpler process for developers. In the software platform we have also included a management console which provides an administrative overview of all the data in the system, which is driven by MySQL tables as well as RabbitMQ messaging queues that drive the Java microservices. The management console also contains a live risk manager which allows B2C operators to detect and any suspicious traffic. Possible actions upon such detection include (for example), suspending a user or banning them. In addition, the management console also contains a kill switch to stop everything and display a custom message to any connected devices. To provide an attractive B2B solution for gaming operators we have also focused on creating a software platform that features a comparatively low running cost for clients, relative to other options available in the market. The core product features proprietary inventions such as server-driven sentiment analysis and a server-driven certified Random Number Generator (RNG), which appeals to a broad market base of B2C clients. Our software platform facilitates the development of:
Emerging Growth Company We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities, and the prices of our securities may be more volatile. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. |
|
We may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company on the date that is the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of this offering; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these exemptions. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different from the information from other public companies. We are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements under the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions, as an emerging growth company, we may rely on certain of these exemptions, including without limitation, providing an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Additionally, we are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the end of the second fiscal quarter of that year, or (2) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the second fiscal quarter of that year. |

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this Registration Statement before investing in our Common Stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could suffer.
Risks Specific to the Company
We are a recently organized as an early stage company but have not yet commenced operations in our business. We expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.
Dito was incorporated on July 23, 2019, and to date have been involved primarily in organization activities. Dito UK, our subsidiary was formed in November 2017. We have not yet commenced revenue generating operations. Further, we have not yet fully developed our business plan or our management team. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business well be successful. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the operations that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to our software and market acceptance by our intended clients. There is no operating history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful and there is no assurance we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
Dito has a limited operating history which makes it difficult to accurately evaluate our business prospects.
We have a no operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and we cannot assure you that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability. The Company's prospects must be considered in light of the risks encountered by companies in the early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Future operating results will depend upon many factors, including, but not limited to, our success in attracting necessary financing, establishing credit or operating facilities, the success of our products, our ability to develop new products, our ability to successfully market our products and attract repeat and new customers, our ability to control operational costs, and the Company's ability in retaining motivated and qualified personnel, legal and regulatory developments in the jurisdictions in which we operate, as well as the general economic conditions which affect such businesses. We cannot assure you that the Company will successfully address any of these risks.
We do not have adequate capital to fund our business and may need additional funding to continue operations. We may not be able to raise capital when needed, if at all, which would force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization efforts and could cause our business to fail.
We have limited capital available to us. Our entire original capital has been fully expended and if additional costs cannot be funded from borrowings or capital from other sources, then our financial condition, results of operations, and business performance would be materially adversely affected. We will require additional capital for the development of our business operations and commercialization of our planned products. We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may increase our capital needs and/or cause us to spend our cash resources faster than we expect. Accordingly, we will need to obtain additional funding in order to continue our operations. We may not be able to raise needed additional capital or financing due to market conditions or for regulatory or other reasons. There can be no guarantee that the necessary funds will be available on a timely basis, on favourable terms, or at all, or that such funds, if raised, would be sufficient. Even if additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, dilution to the then existing shareholdings would result. We cannot assure that we will have adequate capital to conduct our business. If additional funding is not obtained, we may need to reduce, defer or cancel software development efforts, sales and marketing, and overhead expenditures to the extent necessary. The failure to fund our operating and capital requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business plan is speculative.
Our business is speculative and subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. The development of products, including current products, may not succeed in a commercial setting or result in revenue due to functional failures, lack of acceptance or demand from the marketplace, technological inefficiencies, competition or for other reasons. There is no assurance that we will generate revenues and even if we do generate revenues there can be no assurances that we will generate a profit.
Our cash and other sources of liquidity will not be sufficient to fund our operations beyond September 30, 2020. We may not be successful in raising additional capital necessary to meet expected increases in working capital needs. If we raise additional funding through sales of equity or equity-based securities, your shares will be diluted. If we need additional funding for operations and we are unable to raise it, we may be forced to liquidate assets and/or curtail or cease operations or seek bankruptcy protection or be subject to an involuntary bankruptcy petition.
Since inception, the Company has not generated revenues and has incurred losses and has an accumulated deficit of $1,005,880 as of March 31, 2020. There can be no assurances that we will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations. If we are unable to raise additional funding necessary to support our working capital requirements, which we estimate to be approximately $1.2 million, management has projected that cash on hand will not be sufficient to allow us to continue operations beyond September 30, 2020. Our ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other sources may depend on the commercial success of our software and financial, economic and market conditions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in raising the required capital at reasonable cost and at the required times, or at all. Further equity financings may have a dilutive effect on shareholders and any debt financing, if available, may require restrictions to be placed on our future financing and operating activities. If we require additional capital and are unsuccessful in raising that capital, we may not be able to continue our business operations and advance our growth initiatives, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our auditors have indicated that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. We urge you to review the additional information about our liquidity and capital resources in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations elsewhere in this document below. If our business ceases to continue as a going concern due to lack of available capital or otherwise, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.
We have material weaknesses and other deficiencies in our internal control and accounting procedures.
Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020 and concluded that we had a material weakness in our internal controls due to our limited resources and therefore our disclosure controls and procedures may not be effective in providing material information required to be included in any future periodic SEC filings on a timely basis and to ensure that information required to be disclosed in any future periodic SEC filings is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure about our internal control over financial reporting. More specifically, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses related to a segregation of duties due to our limited resources and limited staff. In addition, as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, our management concluded that we had a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to comply with the rules under Sarbanes-Oxley related to disclosure controls and procedures in the future, or, if we continue to have material weaknesses and other deficiencies in our internal control and accounting procedures and disclosure controls and procedures, our stock price could decline significantly and raising capital could be more difficult. If additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies are discovered or if we otherwise fail to address the adequacy of our internal control and disclosure controls and procedures our business may be harmed. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our securities could drop significantly.
Failure to develop our internal controls over financial reporting could have an adverse impact on us.
We need to develop and implement internal control systems and procedures. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish appropriate controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock.
If we were to lose the services of our key personnel, we may not be able to execute our business strategy.
Our success is substantially dependent on the performance of Jason Drummond, who has significant experience in the technology and financial sectors and would be difficult to replace. The loss of Mr. Drummond would have a material adverse impact on us. Until we add additional officers and directors with the technical knowledge and financial expertise to move our business plan forward, we will be solely dependent upon Mr. Drummond for the direction, management and daily supervision of our operations. The inability to retain Mr. Drummond at this crucial juncture in our Company's development, and our ability to replace Mr. Drummond in a timely manner would have a material adverse effect on our business and, accordingly, would negatively impact our financial condition and operating results.
If we are unable to hire, retain or motivate qualified personnel, consultants, independent contractors, and advisors, we may not be able to grow effectively.
Our performance will be dependent on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals, including Mr. Drummond. The loss of Mr. Drummond, or one or more members of our management team or other key employees or consultants, as and when they are hired, could materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified personnel for all areas of our organization. We face competition for personnel and consultants from other companies, universities, public and private research institutions, government entities and other organizations. If we do not succeed in attracting excellent personnel or in retaining or motivating them, we may be unable to grow effectively. We cannot assure that any skilled individuals will agree to become an employee, consultant, or independent contractor of the Company. Our inability to retain their services could negatively impact our business and our ability to execute our business strategy.
Our products may not achieve broad market acceptance if we cannot compete successfully, limiting our ability to generate revenue and grow profits.
Our ability to generate significant revenue and profits depends on the acceptance of our products by customers. The market acceptance of any product depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to awareness of a product's availability and benefits, features, safety and security, perceptions by the industry, the price of the product, competing products, and the effectiveness of marketing and distribution efforts. To remain competitive, the Company must continue to innovate, further enhancing and improving the responsiveness, functionality, accessibility, and other features of its software platform. The success of the Company depends on its ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes and customer preferences in a timely and cost-effective manner. Any factors preventing or limiting the market acceptance of our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we fail to attract new customers and maintain our active customers, our growth may be impaired.
The Company's future profitability and growth depends upon its ability to establish an active customer base, in a cost-effective manner. The Company must attract and maintain clients in order to maintain and build profitability. Although the Company will spend resources on marketing and related expenses, there are no assurances that these efforts will be cost effective in building our B2B business model. Failure to maintain a level of active clients could have an adverse effect on the Company's business and operations.
We operate in an intensely competitive market that includes companies that have greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than us.
The Company faces intense and increasing competition in the marketplace. The Company is confronted by rapidly changing technology, evolving user needs and the frequent introduction of new and enhanced services by its competitors. Some of its existing and potential competitors are better established, benefit from greater name recognition, and have significantly greater financial, technical, sales, and marketing resources than the Company. In addition, some competitors, particularly those with a more diversified revenue base, may have greater flexibility than the Company to compete aggressively based on price and other contract terms. New competitors may emerge through acquisitions or through development of disruptive technologies. Strong and evolving competition could lead to a loss of the Company's market share or make it more difficult to grow its business profitably.
If we are unable to adapt to changing technologies and user preferences it may have a negative impact on player numbers and affect our business operations and financial performance.
In an industry that is characterised by the development of new products, technologies, and end-user practices, we must invest significant resources in software development to be innovative and to enhance our technology, products and services. If we fail to adapt to changing market needs and developing opportunities, it may have an impact on our ability to attract and retain clients which could adversely impact the business operations and financial performance. As technology evolves our platform may not support new devices. Users may shift from using an iOS or Android device and require access to our products via a desktop computer or other devices. Our products may not be well-suited for use on other devices. This may have a negative impact on client numbers if our platform is not enhanced to reflect new or changing client preferences.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our competitive position and our business could be materially adversely affected.
The Company cannot be certain that the steps it may take in the future to protect, register and enforce the intellectual property rights of the Company, if any, will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate the Company's proprietary rights, if any. The Company faces the risk that the use and exploitation of its intellectual property rights, including rights relating to its proprietary software, may infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. The Company also faces the risk that its intellectual property rights may be infringed by a third party, and there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully prevent or restrict any such infringing activity. The costs incurred in bringing or defending any infringement actions may be substantial, regardless of the merits of the claim, and an unsuccessful outcome for the Company may result in royalties or damages being payable and/or the Company being required to cease using any infringing intellectual property or embodiments of any such intellectual property (such as software). If any of the Company's intellectual property is held to be infringing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop alternative non-infringing intellectual property. There can be no assurance that third parties will not independently develop or have not so developed similar or equivalent software to the Company's proprietary software, or will not otherwise gain access to the Company's source code, software or technology or obtain (on favourable terms or at all) alternative non-infringing intellectual property. There can be no assurance that the Company's intellectual property is valid, or enforceable and such intellectual property may be subject to challenge or circumvention by third parties. The Company has not registered any of its intellectual property rights, no assurance can be provided that any such rights are registrable, and no assurance can be given that any applications for registration made by the Company will be successful, as applied for or at all.
We face the risk that third parties will claim that we infringe on their intellectual property rights, which could result in costly license fees or expensive litigation.
Other companies, individuals or third parties may claim the Company is making use of or exploiting software or database design components that infringe their intellectual property rights. The costs incurred in defending any infringement actions may be substantial, regardless of the merits of the claim, and an unsuccessful outcome for us may result in royalties or damages being payable and/or the Company being required to cease using any infringing intellectual property or embodiments of any such intellectual property (such as software). It may also affect our relationships with current or future customers, delay or stop new sales, and divert the attention of management and other human resources. If any of our technology is held to be in breach, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop alternative non-infringing intellectual property in a timely manner.
Customer complaints regarding our products and services could hurt our business.
From time to time, we may receive complaints from customers regarding the quality of products sold by us. We may in the future receive correspondence from customers requesting reimbursement or refunds. Certain dissatisfied customers may threaten legal action against us if no reimbursement is made. We may become subject to product liability lawsuits from customers alleging harm because of a purported defect in our products or services, claiming substantial damages and demanding payments from us. We are in the chain of title when we supply or distribute products, and therefore are subject to the risk of being held legally responsible for them. These claims may not be covered by our insurance policies. Any resulting litigation could be costly for us, divert management attention, and could result in increased costs of doing business, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Any negative publicity generated as a result of customer frustration with our products or services, or with our websites, could damage our reputation and diminish the value of our brand name, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The Company may suffer losses if its reputation is harmed.
The Company's ability to attract and retain customers and employees may be materially adversely affected to the extent its reputation is damaged. Issues that may give rise to reputational risk include, but are not limited to, failure of our products to perform effectively, failure to deal appropriately with legal and regulatory requirements in any jurisdiction (including as may result in the issuance of a warning notice or sanction by a regulator or the commission of an offence (whether civil, criminal, regulatory or other) by the Company or any of its officers, directors, intellectual property theft or intellectual property infringement, factually incorrect reporting, staff difficulties, fraud, technological delays or malfunctions, the inability to respond to a disaster, privacy issues, record-keeping, sales and trading practices, money-laundering, bribery and corruption, the credit, liquidity and market risks inherent in the Company's business, and the activities of the Company's affiliates.
We may be subject to hacker intrusion, DDoS, malicious viruses, and other cyber-crime attacks.
Our business may be adversely affected by distributed denial of service, or DDoS attacks, and other forms of cyber-crime, such as attempts by computer hackers to gain access to our systems and databases that may lead to exposure of sensitive data or cause its sites to fail and/or disrupt customers' experience of its products and services. A successful attack may also attempt to extort money from the business by interfering with its ability to connect with its customers. The interference often occurs without warning resulting in a negative experience that its customers will associate with us. If our efforts to combat these DDoS attacks and other forms of cyber-crime are unsuccessful, our reputation may be harmed, and our customers' ability to access the platform may be impaired. We are also susceptible to a wide range of known, unknown and evolving malicious viruses. While we believe that our servers and production environment are adequately protected, no assurance can be given that our servers and production environment will not be impacted by malicious viruses. Any hacker intrusion, DDoS, installation of a malicious virus or cyber-crime attack could result in a decline in user traffic and associated revenues, which would have a material adverse effect on the business operations and financial performance.
Dependence on Key Suppliers and Third Parties
The Company is dependent on outside suppliers for certain key services including storage, data back-up and integration with electronic wallets. While no one supplier or service provider is irreplaceable, should any of the Company's key suppliers fail to supply these services and the Company fails to secure such services from an alternative supplier, its reputation and financial position could be materially and adversely affected. It may also be that any alternative suppliers will only make available their services at a significantly higher price than the Company is presently paying, thereby reducing the Company's ability to generate profit. In addition, we engage several providers of third-party hosting, gaming, and payment processing services. In the event that there is any interruption to the products or services provided by such third parties, or if there are problems in supplying the products or if one or more ceased to be provided or only provided on onerous terms to us, this could have an adverse effect on the business operation and performance.
The Company's financial results may be adversely affected by currency fluctuations.
The Company will generate its revenues in a variety of currencies, including the Euro, Sterling, and the US Dollar. As a result, some of the Company's financial assets may be denominated in these currencies and fluctuations in these currencies could adversely affect its financial results. The Company does not currently engage in any currency hedging transactions intended to reduce the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on its results of operations. If the Company were to determine that it was in its best interests to enter into any currency hedging transactions in the future, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so or that such transactions, if entered into, will materially reduce the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on its results of operations. Currency hedging may also generate complex accounting issues. In addition, if, for any reason, exchange or price controls or other restrictions on the conversion of one currency into another currency were imposed, the Company's business could be adversely affected. Although exposure to currency fluctuations to date have not had a material adverse effect on the Company's business, there can be no assurance such fluctuations in the future will not have a material adverse effect on revenues from international sales and, consequently, the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
Our business could suffer as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the U.K. withdrawal from the European Union and, if completed, the terms of such withdrawal.
The United Kingdom held a referendum on June 23, 2016 in which a majority of voters voted to exit the European Union ("Brexit") and on March 29, 2017, the United Kingdom submitted a formal notification of its intention to withdraw from the European Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon. On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom ceased to be a member state of the European Union. European Union law applicable to the United Kingdom continues to apply to and in the United Kingdom for the duration of a transition period, which is presently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2020 (the "Transition Period"). During the Transition Period, the European Union and the United Kingdom will negotiate the terms of their future relationship. There can be no assurances that such negotiations will be successful or certainty that European Union law will continue to apply in and to the United Kingdom following the expiration of the Transition Period. Until expiration of the Transition Period and the future relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom is established, it is difficult to anticipate Brexit's potential impact.
The effects of Brexit will depend on any agreements the United Kingdom makes to retain access to European Union markets beyond the Transition Period. Brexit could adversely affect European and worldwide economic and market conditions and could contribute to instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets. In addition, Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the United Kingdom determines which European Union laws to replace or replicate. Any of these effects of Brexit, and others we cannot anticipate could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The concentration of our capital stock ownership with insiders will likely limit your ability to influence corporate matters.
Our sole executive officer and director and several stockholders together beneficially own a majority of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these stockholders, if they act together or in a block, could have significant influence over most matters that require approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, even if other stockholders oppose them. This concentration of ownership might also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company that other stockholders may view as beneficial.
Jason Drummond, our sole officer and director, resides outside of the United States, it may be difficult for an investor to enforce any right based on U.S. federal securities laws against Mr. Drummond, or to enforce a judgment rendered by a United States court against Mr. Drummond.
Our sole officer and director, Jason Drummond, is a non-resident of the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult to effect service of process on Mr. Drummond in the United States, and it may be difficult to enforce any judgment rendered against Mr. Drummond. Accordingly, it may be difficult or impossible for an investor to bring an action against Mr. Drummond, in the case that an investor believes that such investor's rights have been infringed under the U.S. securities laws, or otherwise. Even if an investor is successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws may render that investor as unable to enforce a judgment against the assets of Mr. Drummond. As a result, our shareholders may have more difficulties in protecting their interests through actions against our management, director or major shareholder, compared to shareholders of a corporation whose officers and directors reside within the United States. Mr. Drummond's principal assets are located in the United Kingdom.
Jason Drummond, as our officer and sole director, may determine and award director fees and management compensation in his sole discretion.
There is currently no formal compensation agreement with our sole officer Jason Drummond, who is also our sole director. Until we have a compensation arrangement in place with Mr. Drummond and additional directors are added to our Board, Mr. Drummond has the power to set his own compensation as management and distribute director fees in his sole discretion. There can be no assurance that we will enter into a formal compensation agreement with Mr. Drummond on favourable terms to the Company or any agreement at all and that additional members will be added to our Board. Any management compensation and/or director fees he awards himself could have an adverse effect on our cash reserves or net profit, if any.
Risks Related to the Industry
Economic conditions and current economic weakness.
Any economic downturn, either globally or locally in any area in which the Company operates, may have an adverse effect on demand for the Company's products. A more prolonged economic downturn may lead to an overall decline in the volume of the Company's sales, restricting the Company's ability to realise a profit. If economic conditions remain uncertain, the Company might see lower levels of growth than anticipated, which might have an adverse impact on the Company's operations and business results.
The laws and regulations concerning data privacy and data security are continually evolving; failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our business.
We collect and store significant amounts of information about customers who use our technologies-both personally identifying and non-personally identifying information. We are subject to laws from a variety of jurisdictions regarding privacy and the protection of this customer information. For example, the European Union (EU) has traditionally taken a broader view than the United States and certain other jurisdictions as to what is considered personal information, and has imposed greater obligations under data privacy regulations.
Data privacy protection laws are rapidly changing and likely will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The U.S. government, including the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce, is continuing to review the need for greater regulation over the collection of personal information and information about consumer behavior on the Internet and on mobile devices, and the EU has proposed reforms to its existing data protection legal framework. Various government and consumer agencies worldwide have also called for new regulation and changes in industry practices. In addition, in some cases, we are dependent upon our platform providers to solicit, collect and provide us with information regarding our customers that is necessary for compliance with these various types of regulations.
If we fail to comply with existing privacy-related or data protection laws and regulations, it could result in proceedings or litigation against us by governmental authorities or others, which could result in fines or judgments against us, damage our reputation, impact our financial condition and harm our business. If regulators, the media or consumers raise any concerns about our privacy and data protection or consumer protection practices, even if unfounded, this could also result in fines or judgments against us, damage our reputation, and negatively impact our financial condition and damage our business.
In the area of information security and data protection, many jurisdictions have passed laws requiring notification when there is a security breach for personal data or requiring the adoption of minimum information security standards that are often vaguely defined and difficult to implement. Our security measures and standards may not be sufficient to protect personal information and we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent security breaches. A security breach that compromises personal information could harm our reputation and result in a loss of customer confidence in our products and ultimately in a loss of customers, which could adversely affect our business and impact our financial condition. This could also subject us to liability under applicable security breach-related laws and regulations and could result in additional compliance costs, costs related to regulatory inquiries and investigations, and an inability to conduct our business.
Tax status and changes to regulations can affect the Company
The Company cannot guarantee that any tax audit or tax dispute to which it may be subject in the future will result in a favourable outcome for the Company. There is a risk that any such audit or dispute could result in additional taxes payable by the Company as well as negative publicity and reputational damage. In any such case, substantial additional tax liabilities and ancillary charges could be imposed on the Company which could increase the Company's effective tax rate. The Company's effective tax rate may also be affected by changes in, or the interpretation of tax laws, including those tax laws relating to the utilisation of capital allowances, net operating losses and tax loss or credit carry forwards, as well as management's assessment of certain matters, such as the ability to realise deferred tax assets. The Company's effective tax rate in any given financial year reflects a variety of factors that may not be present in the succeeding financial year or years. An increase in the Company's effective tax rate in future periods could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Systems failures, disruptive events or delays could materially harm the Company's business.
The Company's operations will be highly dependent on the internet, mobile networks and Amazon Web Services. The efficient and uninterrupted operation of the Internet, mobile networks and Amazon Web Services, on which the Company relies, and its ability to provide customers with reliable, real-time access to its products, is fundamental to the success of the Company's business. Any damage, malfunction, failure or interruption of, or to the Internet, mobile networks or Amazon Web Services could result in a lack of confidence in the Company's products and a possible loss of customers to our competitors, or could expose the Company to higher risk or losses, with a consequential material adverse effect on the Company's operations and results. If the Company's connection to mobile networks or the Internet is interrupted or not available, the Company may not be able to provide customers with its products and services.
The Company's systems and networks may also fail because of other events, such as:
• fire, flood, or natural disasters
• power or telecommunications failure
• computer hacking activities
• acts of war or terrorism
Amazon Web Services has a number of systems in place in the event of a system failure. It is important to note that the services the Company depends on via Amazon Web Services are segregated from one another, and if one system fails, another replaces it automatically within minutes. It is further important to distinguish that each Amazon Web Services deployment is relevant to each individual client, meaning that multiple Amazon Web Services regions are used (currently available on every continent). The probability of a complete systems failure with Amazon Web Services is unlikely but possible.
To date there has been no significant malfunctioning of the internet, mobile networks and Amazon Web Services, however, any such event could result in a lack of confidence in the Company's products, and result in a loss of existing customers in addition to exposing it to potential liabilities. Any one of these challenges could result in a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results.
Our current operations are international in scope and expansion can create a variety of potential operational challenges.
With business operations in numerous countries and with intentions to grow, our offices, personnel and operations may be further dispersed around the world. In connection with such expansion, we may face a number of challenges, including costs associated with developing software and providing support in additional languages, varying seasonality patterns, potential adverse movement of currency exchange rates, longer payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable in some countries, tariffs and trade barriers, a variety of regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to operate, adverse tax events, reduced protection of intellectual property rights in some countries and a geographically and culturally diverse workforce and customer base. Failure to overcome any of these challenges could negatively affect our business and results of operations.
The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic may impact our plans and activities.
The global outbreak of COVID-19 has led to severe disruptions in general economic activities, as businesses and governments have taken broad actions to mitigate this public health crisis. Although the Company has not experienced any significant disruption to its business to date, these conditions could significantly negatively impact the Company's business in the future. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak ultimately impacts the Company's business, future revenues, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity and longevity, the actions to curtail the virus and treat its impact (including an effective vaccine), and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may be at risk of experiencing a significant impact to its business as a result of the global economic impact, including any economic downturn or recession that has occurred or may occur in the future. Currently, capital markets have been disrupted by the crisis, as a result of which the availability, amount and type of financing available to the Company in the near future is uncertain and cannot be assured and is largely dependent upon evolving market conditions and other factors. The Company intends to continue to monitor the situation and may adjust its current business plans as more information and guidance become available.
Public Company Risks or Risk related to our public listing and Common Shares
We are an "emerging growth company" and "smaller reporting company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies or smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.
We are an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of any second quarter of a fiscal year, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the end of such fiscal year. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Additionally, we are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the end of the second fiscal quarter of that year, or (2) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the second fiscal quarter of that year.
We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company in the United States and our management expects to devote substantial time to public company compliance programs.
As a public company in the United States, we will incur significant legal, insurance, accounting and other expenses that we do not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on U.S. public companies. The Company will need to ensure its financial and management control systems are able to meet the requirements of a public company. Areas such as financial planning and analysis, tax, corporate governance, accounting policies and procedures, internal controls, internal audit, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems will need to be compliant with reporting obligations. Our management and administrative staff will need to devote a substantial amount of time to compliance with these requirements. We may need to hire qualified personnel to address these issues. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment will result in increased general and administrative expenses and may divert management's time and attention away from product development and other commercial activities. If for any reason our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed. We intend to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage, which will increase our insurance cost significantly. In the future, it may be more expensive for us to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee.
Upon effectiveness of this Registration Statement and becoming a public company, we will be required to required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and will require management to certify financial and other information in our annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment will need to include the disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by our management or our independent registered public accounting firm. To achieve compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period, we will be engaged in a costly and challenging process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting. We will also need to continue to improve our control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that our controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for our internal control over financial reporting. Despite our efforts, there is a risk that we will not be able to conclude, within the prescribed timeframe or at all, that our internal control over financial reporting is effective as required by Section 404. Any material weakness could result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until the later of our second annual report or the first annual report required to be filed with the SEC following the date we are no longer an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act. We cannot assure you that there will not be additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls in the future.
Currently, there is no established public market for our securities, and there can be no assurances that any established public market will ever develop or that our common stock will be quoted for trading and, even if quoted, it is likely to be subject to significant price fluctuations.
Prior to the date of this prospectus, there has not been any established trading market for our common stock, and there is currently no established public market whatsoever for our securities. A market maker has agreed to file an application with FINRA on our behalf so as to be able to quote the shares of our common stock on the OTCQB commencing upon the effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. There can be no assurance that the market maker's application will be accepted by FINRA nor can we estimate as to the time period that the application will require or that any buying of our shares will ever take place.
If our stock becomes quoted on the OTCQB, we could subsequently be removed from the OTCQB if we fail to remain current with our financial reporting requirements.
Companies trading on the OTCQB must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCQB. If we become quoted on the OTCQB, but we fail to remain current in our reporting requirements, we would be removed from the OTCQB. As a result, the market liquidity of our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Liquidity of Common Stock and price volatility.
We plan to have the Company's Common Stock traded on the OTCQB and can give no assurance that an active trading market for our Common Stock will develop, or if such a market develops, that it will be sustained. If an active trading market does not develop or is not maintained, the liquidity and trading price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected, and investors may have difficulty selling their Common Stock.
Our shares may not become eligible to be traded electronically which would result in brokerage firms being unwilling to trade them.
If we become able to have our shares of common stock quoted on the OTCQB, we will then try, through a broker-dealer and its clearing firm, to become eligible with the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to permit our shares to trade electronically. If an issuer is not "DTC-eligible," then its shares cannot be electronically transferred between brokerage accounts, which, based on the realities of the marketplace as it exists today (especially the OTCQB), means that shares of a company will not be traded (technically the shares can be traded manually between accounts, but this takes days and is not a realistic option for companies relying on broker dealers for stock transactions). There are no assurances that our shares will ever become DTC-eligible or, if they do, how long it will take.
Future sales of shares of our Common Stock or the perception that these sales may occur, may depress our stock price.
The market price of our Common Stock could decline significantly as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our Common Stock in the market. In addition, if our significant stockholders sell a large number of shares, or if we issue a large number of shares, the market price of our Common Stock could decline. Any issuance of additional Common Stock, or Common Stock equivalents by us would result in dilution to our existing shareholders. Such issuances could be made at a price that reflects a discount to the then-current trading price of our Common Stock. Moreover, the perception in the public market that stockholders may sell shares of our stock or that we may issue additional shares of Common Stock could depress the market for our shares and make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at any time in the future if at all.
We may issue additional shares of Common Stock and/or preferred stock without stockholder approval, which would dilute the current holders of our Common Stock. In addition, the exercise or conversion of securities that may be granted in the future would further dilute holders of our Common Stock.
Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of our shareholders, to issue shares of common and preferred Stock. We may issue shares of our common stock or preferred stock to complete a business combination or to raise capital. Such stock issuances could be made at a price that reflects a discount from the then-current trading price of our Common Stock. These issuances would dilute our stockholders' ownership interest, which among other things would have the effect of reducing their influence on matters on which our stockholders vote. In addition, our stockholders and prospective investors may incur additional dilution if holders of stock options and warrants, whether currently outstanding or subsequently granted, exercise their options or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.
The rights of the holders of our Common Stock may be impaired by the potential issuance of preferred stock.
Our certificate of incorporation gives our Board of Directors the right to create one or more new series of preferred stock. As a result, the Board of Directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting, dividend, conversion, liquidation or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and equity interests of the holders of our common stock. Preferred stock, which could be issued with the right to more than one vote per share, would dilute the rights of our common stockholders and could be used to discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company, which could materially adversely affect the price of our common stock. The Company has authorized a total of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, however no preferred shares have been designated by the Company as of June 30, 2020.
Our Common Stock may be subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC and the trading market in the securities is limited, which makes transactions in the stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the stock.
Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (a) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (a) obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (b) confirms that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our common stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker or dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
We do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not currently pay dividends and do not anticipate paying any dividends for the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors, subject to compliance with applicable laws and covenants under any future credit facility, which may restrict or limit our ability to pay dividends. Payment of dividends will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant at that time. Unless and until we declare and pay dividends, any return on your investment will only occur if our share price appreciates.
USE OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus relates to Shares that may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds upon the sale of Shares by the Selling Stockholders in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution" elsewhere in this prospectus for more information.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared nor paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and currently intend to retain all of our cash and any earnings for use in our business and, therefore, do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Since our Common Stock is not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of the shares of Common Stock was determined by the price of the Common Stock that was sold to the Selling Securityholders in the Private Placement.
The offering price of the shares of our Common Stock does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market.
Although our Common Stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a quotation on the OTCQB commencing upon the effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In order to be quoted on the OTCQB, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our Common Stock. A market maker has agreed to file an application with FINRA so as to be able to quote the shares of our common stock on the OTCQB. There can be no assurance as to whether such market maker's application will be accepted by FINRA nor can we estimate the time period that will be required for the application process to be completed. In the absence of quotation or listing, no market is available for investors in our common stock to sell their shares. We cannot provide any assurance that a meaningful trading market will ever develop or that our common stock will ever be quoted or listed for trading.
In addition, there is no assurance that our Common Stock will trade at market prices in excess of the initial offering price as prices for the Common Stock in any public market which may develop will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity
The Selling Stockholders will determine at what price they may sell the offered Shares (if any), and such sales may be made at prevailing market prices, or at privately negotiated prices.
THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND SHARE EXCHANGE
On February 26, 2020, we completed a private placement to non-U.S. persons for the sale of 205,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $2.50 per share pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act with thirteen individual investors for cash proceeds of $512,500. No fees or other costs, other than nominal legal costs, were incurred in connection with the Private Placement.
Of the 205,000 shares of common stock sold, 121,000 shares were sold for a total purchase price of $302,500 prior to December 31, 2019. During January and February 2020, the remaining 84,000 shares were sold for a total purchase price of $210,000. The proceeds from the Private Placement were used for general operating purposes.
Effective March 18, 2020, Dito entered into a Share Exchange Agreements (the "Exchange Agreement") with each of the shareholders in Dito UK to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Dito UK. The Exchange Agreements provided for each outstanding ordinary share of Dito UK to be effectively converted into 25 shares of common stock of Dito. All of the Dito shares were issued to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S. As a result, Dito UK became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dito.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
This prospectus covers the possible resale by the Selling Stockholders identified below, or its transferee(s), of a total of 2,962,480 shares of common stock. The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus the Shares that we have sold to them indicated below. The Selling Stockholders may sell some, all or none of their Shares. We do not know how long the Selling Stockholders will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the Selling Stockholders regarding the sale of any of the Shares.
The following table sets forth the name of each person who is offering for resale the Shares covered by this prospectus, the beneficial ownership of each such Selling Securityholder, the number of Shares that may be sold in this offering and the number of Shares each will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of the Shares offered. The term "Selling Securityholder" includes the securityholders listed below and their transferees. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. This information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, Common Stock subject to convertible notes, warrants, options and other convertible securities held by that person that are currently convertible or exercisable, or convertible or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this prospectus are deemed outstanding. Such shares of Common Stock, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
The table is based on our internal corporate records.
The following table sets forth the number of shares of the common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders as of June 30, 2020. The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 24,698,325 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

Because the Selling Securityholders identified in this table may sell some, all or none of the shares owned by them that are registered under this registration statement, and because, to our knowledge, there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares registered hereunder, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares available for resale hereby that will be held by the selling shareholders at the time of this registration statement. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, we have assumed for purposes of this table that the selling shareholders will sell all of the shares beneficially owned by them as of June 30, 2020. |

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the Shares previously issued to the Selling Stockholders to permit the resale of these Shares by the Selling Stockholders from time to time after the effective date of this registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. The Selling Stockholders may be deemed "underwriters," within the meaning of the Securities Act.
There is no public market for our common stock. Therefore, the current and potential market for our common stock is limited and the liquidity of our shares may be severely limited. A market maker has agreed to file an application with FINRA so as to be able to quote the shares of our common stock on the OTCQB commencing upon the effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. There can be no assurance as to whether such market maker's application will be accepted by FINRA nor can we estimate the time period that will be required for the application process to be completed. In the absence of quotation or listing, no market is available for investors in our common stock to sell their shares. We cannot provide any assurance that a meaningful trading market will ever develop or that our common stock will ever be quoted or listed for trading.
The Selling Stockholders, or their pledges, donees, transferees, or any of its successors in interest selling Shares received from the Selling Stockholders as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer after the date of this prospectus, may sell all or a portion of the Shares beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent's commissions. The Shares may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions:
- on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
- in the over-the-counter market;
- in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
- through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
- ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
- block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
- purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
- an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
- privately negotiated transactions;
- short sales;
- through the distribution of the common stock by any Selling Stockholders to their partners, members or stockholders;
- through one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;
- sales pursuant to Rule 144;
- broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
- a combination of any such methods of sale; and
- any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The Selling Stockholders may also transfer the Shares by gift. The Selling Stockholders may engage brokers and dealers, and any brokers or dealers may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in effecting sales of the Shares. These brokers, dealers or underwriters may act as principals, or as an agent of a Selling Stockholders. Broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of the Shares at a stipulated price per security. If the broker-dealer is unable to sell the Shares acting as agent for the Selling Stockholders, it may purchase as principal any unsold Shares at the stipulated price. Broker-dealers who acquire Shares as principals may thereafter resell the Shares from time to time in transactions in any stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the Shares are then listed, at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. Broker-dealers may use block transactions and sales to and through broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above.
The Selling Stockholders may also sell the Shares in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, rather than pursuant to this prospectus, regardless of whether the Shares are covered by this prospectus.
If the Selling Stockholders effects such transactions by selling Shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the Shares or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Shares in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell Shares short and deliver Shares covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Stockholders may also loan or pledge Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
In addition, the Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, sell the Shares short, and, in those instances, this prospectus may be delivered in connection with the short sales and the Shares offered under this prospectus may be used to cover short sales.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the Shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers. The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Under the securities laws of some states, the Shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Shares may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell any or all of the Shares registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Shares.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the Shares estimated to be $82,400 in total. Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the Shares will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the section of this prospectus titled "Summary Selected Financial Information" and the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis here and throughout this prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Company's actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Overview
As a result of the transaction with GameTech UK Limited as described elsewhere in this prospectus, the Company is now a mobile games developer and publisher with offices in London and New York.
The Company's activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for additional capital, as described below. The Company has not yet commenced any revenue-generating operations, does not have positive cash flows from operations, and is dependent on periodic infusions of equity capital to fund its operating requirements.
Background and Basis of Presentation
Dito, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 23, 2019. Effective as of March 18, 2020, Dito, Inc. completed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Dito UK Limited. As a result, Dito UK Limited became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dito, Inc. in a recapitalization transaction, as described below. Dito UK Limited was originally formed on November 3, 2017 in the United Kingdom for the purpose of software development.
For financial reporting purposes, the Exchange Agreement was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control (the “Combination”), as Dito, Inc was formed by Dito UK Limited, with the objective of Dito UK Limited becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dito Inc., and the resultant parent company being domiciled in the United States. As a result of the Combination, the former stockholders of Dito UK Limited became the controlling shareholders of Dito, Inc., and the Dito UK Limited management and board members became the management and board members of Dito, Inc.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements presented herein for all periods are based on the historical financial statements of each of Dito, Inc. and Dito UK Limited. The stockholders’ equity section of the Dito, Inc. balance sheet has been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect the accounting effect of the Combination. The net loss per share and weighted average common shares outstanding information presented herein also reflects this retroactive restatement for all periods presented. All costs associated with the Combination were charged to operations as incurred.
Going Concern
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has had no operating revenues to date, and has experienced recurring net losses from operations and negative operating cash flows.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $636,033, utilized cash in operating activities of $431,165, and had an accumulated deficit of $754,376 as of December 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $251,504, utilized cash in operating activities of $321,620, and had an accumulated deficit of $1,005,880 as of March 31, 2020. The Company has financed its working capital requirements since inception through the sale of its equity securities and from borrowings.
At December 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $320,402, which included $302,500 from the sale of common stock in December 2019. Subsequently, in January and February 2020, the Company raised an additional $210,000 from the sale of common stock, bringing the total amount raised in this equity financing to $512,500. At March 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $138,957. The Company has limited cash resources to fund its operations and will therefore need to raise additional funds in the short-term. The Company estimates that a significant amount of capital will be necessary over a sustained period of time to advance the development of the Company's business to the point at which it can become commercially viable and self-sustaining. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in this regard.
As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan, and to ultimately achieve sustainable operating revenues and profitability. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The development and expansion of the Company's business in 2020 and thereafter will be dependent on many factors, including the capital resources available to the Company. No assurances can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company or adequate to fund the development and expansion of the Company's business to a level that is commercially viable and self-sustaining. There is also significant uncertainty as to the affect that the coronavirus pandemic may have on the availability, amount and type of financing in the future.
If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company's ongoing cash requirements, the Company would be required to scale back or discontinue its operations, obtain funds, if available, although there can be no certainty, through strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to its technology, or to discontinue its operations entirely.
Concentration of Risk
The Company may periodically contract with consultants and vendors to provide services related to the Company's business development activities. Agreements for these services may be for a specific time period or for a specific project or task. The Company did not have any such formal agreements at March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.
Related Party Transactions
General and administrative costs and expenses incurred with respect to officers, directors, affiliates and other related parties are shown as a separate line item in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Since inception in November 2017, the Company has had significant cash, debt and equity transactions with Jason Drummond, the Company's founder, a major shareholder, and the sole officer and director. Information with respect to these transactions is provided at Notes 6, 8 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and at Notes 5, 7, 8 and 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, which are included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 presented elsewhere in this prospectus, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly important to the understanding of the Company's financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management or can be materially affected by changes from period to period in economic factors or conditions that are outside of the Company's control. As a result, these issues are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying these policies, management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Those estimates are based on the Company's historical operations, the future business plans and the projected financial results, the terms of existing contracts, trends in the industry, and information available from other outside sources. For a more complete description of the Company's significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company issues common stock and intends to issue stock options to officers, directors and consultants for services rendered. Options will vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date of each grant. Stock grants, which are generally time vested, will be measured at the grant date fair value and charged to operations ratably over the vesting period.
The fair value of stock options granted as stock-based compensation will be determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and can be affected by several variables, the most significant of which are the life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date, and the estimated volatility of the common stock. Estimated volatility will be based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock over an appropriate calculation period, or, if not available, by reference to the volatility of a representative sample of comparable public companies. The risk-free interest rate will be based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The fair market value of the common stock will be determined by reference to the quoted market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date, or, if not available, by reference to an appropriate alternative valuation methodology.
The Company will recognize the fair value of stock-based compensation awards in general and administrative costs or in software development costs, as appropriate, in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company will issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any outstanding stock options.
Software Development Costs
Due to the significant uncertainty with respect to the successful development of commercially viable products based on Company's development efforts, all software development costs incurred with respect to the Company's mobile gaming platform are charged to operations as incurred.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property, consisting of software, is recorded at cost. Amortization of intellectual property is provided using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three years.
The Company recognizes amortization of intellectual property in software development costs in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, consisting of property and equipment and intellectual property, for impairment at each fiscal year end or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may exceed their current fair values. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. The Company has not historically recorded any impairment to its long-lived assets. In the future, if events or market conditions affect the estimated fair value to the extent that a long-lived asset is impaired, the Company will adjust the carrying value of these long-lived assets in the period in which the impairment occurs. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had not deemed any long-lived assets as impaired and was not aware of the existence of any indicators of impairment at such dates.
Foreign Currency
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("USD"). The functional currency of Dito UK, the Company's foreign subsidiary, is the British Pound ("GBP"), the local currency in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary are translated at the current exchange rate at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders' equity (deficiency). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. ASU 2016-13 will replace the current "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the provisions of ASU 2016-13 as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which ASU 2016-13 is effective. As small business filer, ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Management is currently in the process of assessing the impact of adopting ASU-2016-13 on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Plan of Operation
The Company intends to license its software platform to mobile gaming operators and developers to enable rapid development of new games.
Results of Operations
At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had not yet commenced any revenue-generating operations, did not have any positive cash flows from operations, and was dependent on its ability to raise equity capital to fund its operating requirements.
Operating Expenses
The Company generally recognizes operating costs and expenses as they are incurred in two general categories, software development costs and expenses and general and administrative costs and expenses. The Company's operating costs and expenses also include non-cash components related to depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, and intellectual property, which are allocated, as appropriate, to software development costs and expenses and general and administrative costs and expenses.
Software development costs and expenses consist primarily of fees paid to consultants and amortization of intellectual property. Management expects software costs and expenses to increase in the future as the Company increases its efforts to develop technology for potential future products based on its technology and research.
General and administrative costs and expenses consist of fees for directors and officers, and their affiliates, as well as legal and other professional fees, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, lease and rent expense, and other general corporate expenses. Management expects general and administrative costs and expenses to increase in future periods as the Company adds personnel and incurs additional costs related to its operation as a public company, including higher legal, accounting, insurance, compliance, compensation and other costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has had no operating revenues to date, and has experienced recurring net losses from operations and negative operating cash flows. The Company has financed its working capital requirements since inception through the sale of its equity securities and from borrowings.
As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the consolidated financial statements are being issued. In addition, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern (see "Going Concern" above).
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan, and to ultimately achieve sustainable operating revenues and profitability. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
At December 31, 2019, the Company had working capital of $154,594, as compared to a negative working capital of $243,886 at December 31, 2018, reflecting an increase in working capital of $398,480 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in working capital during the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily the result of proceeds from the sale of common stock of $567,721 and the conversion of notes payable to related parties into the Company's common stock, offset by working capital being utilized to fund the Company's ongoing operating expenses.
At March 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $154,369, as compared to working capital of $154,594 at December 31, 2019, reflecting a decrease in working capital of $225 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in working capital during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily the result of proceeds from the sale of common stock of $210,000, offset by working capital being utilized to fund the Company's ongoing operating expenses.
At December 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $320,402, reflecting cash of $302,500 from the sale of common stock in December 2019. At March 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $138,957, reflecting cash of $210,000 from the sale of common stock in January and February 2020. The Company has limited cash resources available to fund its operations and will therefore need to raise additional funds in the short-term. The Company estimates that a significant amount of capital will be necessary over a sustained period of time to advance the development of the Company's business to the point at which it can become commercially viable and self-sustaining. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in this regard.
We have not yet generated any revenue from operations. If we are unable to raise additional funding necessary to support our working capital requirements, which we estimate to be approximately $1.2 million, management has projected that cash on hand will not be sufficient to allow us to continue operations beyond September 30, 2020. Our ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other sources may depend on the stage of development of our software platform, the commercial success of our software and financial, economic and market conditions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in raising the required capital at reasonable cost and at the required times, or at all. Further equity financings may have a dilutive effect on shareholders and any debt financing, if available, may require restrictions to be placed on our future financing and operating activities. If we require additional capital and are unsuccessful in raising that capital, we may not be able to continue the development of our software platform or continue our business operations and advance our growth initiatives, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Trends, Events and Uncertainties
Uncertainties regarding development of new software
Development of new software is, by its nature, unpredictable. Although the Company will undertake development efforts with commercially reasonable diligence, there can be no assurance that the Company's efforts to raise funds in the future will be sufficient to enable the Company to develop its technology to the extent needed to create future revenues to sustain operations as contemplated herein.
Uncertainties related to operations
There can be no assurances that the Company's technology will be adopted or that the Company will ever achieve sustainable revenues sufficient to support its operations. Even if the Company is able to generate revenues, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve profitability or positive operating cash flows. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional financing on acceptable terms or at all. If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company's ongoing cash requirements, the Company would be required to scale back or discontinue its software development programs, or obtain funds, if available (although there can be no certainty), through strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its potential products, or to curtail or discontinue its operations entirely.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Company
The global outbreak of COVID-19 has led to severe disruptions in general economic activities, as businesses and governments have taken broad actions to mitigate this public health crisis. Although the Company has not experienced any significant disruption to its business to date, these conditions could significantly negatively impact the Company's business in the future.
The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak ultimately impacts the Company's business, future revenues, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity and longevity, the actions to curtail the virus and treat its impact (including an effective vaccine), and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may be at risk of experiencing a significant impact to its business as a result of the global economic impact, including any economic downturn or recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.
Currently, capital markets have been disrupted by the crisis, as a result of which the availability, amount and type of financing available to the Company in the near future is uncertain and cannot be assured and is largely dependent upon evolving market conditions and other factors.
The Company intends to continue to monitor the situation and may adjust its current business plans as more information and guidance become available.
Other than as discussed above and elsewhere in this prospectus, the Company is not currently aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that are likely to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition in the near term, although it is possible that new trends or events may develop in the future that could have a material effect on the Company's financial condition.
BUSINESS
Business Overview
Dito is a business to business ("B2B") early stage software developer with offices in London and New York. We intend to license our software platform to mobile gaming operators and developers to enable rapid development of new games.
Dito was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 23, 2019 under the name Dito, Inc., created for the purpose of the registration contemplated hereby, and became our holding company by way of a share-for-share exchange in which all of the existing shareholders of Dito UK Limited, an English corporation, company number 11047028 ("Dito UK"), exchanged their ordinary shares in Dito UK for shares of Common Stock in Dito, Inc.
Our registered office in the United States is located at 413 West 14th Street, New York, New York 10014, and our telephone number is +1 (347) 983-1227.
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Dito UK, leases office facilities in London, England and is located at 184 Shepherds Bush Road, London, England W6 7NL.
All of our operations are currently conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, Dito UK.
On August 10, 2018, the Company (through Dito UK) entered into an Asset Sale Agreement (the "Sale Agreement") with GameTech UK Limited ("GameTech") pursuant to a Court Order (the "Order") issued by the Joint Administrators of GameTech UK Limited (in administration) on May 29, 2018. GameTech's last full year of operations was the year ended December 31, 2016 and it had nominal revenues in such year. On May 11, 2017, administrators were appointed for GameTech and GameTech entered insolvency proceedings. Approximately fifteen months later, the administrators of GameTech entered into the Sale Agreement with the Company (through Dito UK).
The Company (through Dito UK) acquired the intellectual property assets of GameTech, a non-operational business in insolvency proceedings, consisting of gaming software and a related technology platform. The software was acquired under the expectation that it would require significant modifications to be able to be utilized in the Company's anticipated business model, which is software licensing to mobile game operators and developers. Following the acquisition of Gametech's intellectual property assets out of receivership, Dito UK has made improvements to the core software platform. As a result, we have re-positioned ourselves as a B2B developer of gaming software which can power the games of B2C providers. The improvements we have made include the migration of the software from physical server dependencies to cloud based deployment (via Amazon Web Services) and removing the dependency on third-party applications and replacing them with AWS native alternatives. Our software also has the capability to allow games to be chained together, through a "state machine", which allows for a wider variety of games to be created on our software platform.
As a software developer (and not an operator), we believe we are not required to obtain licenses for our products. With our current software platform, all regulatory oversight and licensing responsibility falls to the B2C operator (Dito's customers). Companies who want to create games using Dito's core software platform are required to meet their own regulatory requirements (where applicable).
Our Strategy
Dito's core sales strategy will be focused on the licencing of our platform under a Platform as a Service (PaaS) model to third parties. The PaaS license is based on an installation fee and revenue share agreement. While we doe not currently have any such agreements in place, we anticipate that these agreements, once entered into, will generate revenue in three ways (i) clients would be charged an initial setup fee, (ii) clients will be charged monthly fees for use of the platform, and (iii) we would receive up to 50% of the gross gaming revenue.
Our Software Platform
Our core software platform is entirely cloud-based and hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This allows the software to be deployed in any AWS-supported region globally. These regions are currently spread over the following continents: North America, South America, Europe, Asia (including the Middle East) and Africa.
Dito has a mobile-centric development focus and we keep up to date on any significant changes in the mobile gaming sector and use this research to find ways to improve our software platform.
We prefer to use infrastructure as code using Terraform. This means that replicating the cloud-based deployment environment can be done in a matter of hours, as opposed to matter of weeks using older approaches. There are also significant advantages to Terraform beyond automation, such as infrastructure declaration, which makes learning the infrastructure a much faster and simpler process for developers.
In the software platform we have also included a management console which provides an administrative overview of all the data in the system, which is driven by MySQL tables as well as RabbitMQ messaging queues that drive the Java microservices. The management console also contains a live risk manager which allows B2C operators to detect and any suspicious traffic. Possible actions upon such detection include (for example), suspending a user or banning them. In addition, the management console also contains a kill switch to stop everything and display a custom message to any connected devices.
To provide an attractive B2B solution for gaming operators we have also focused on creating a software platform that features a comparatively low running cost for clients, relative to other options available in the market. The core product features proprietary inventions such as server-driven sentiment analysis and a server-driven certified Random Number Generator (RNG), which appeals to a broad market base of B2C clients.
Our software platform facilitates the development of:
- Random Number Generator ("RNG") powered applications; and
- Sentiment-driven applications
RNG-powered applications
One of the platform's key features is its Random Number Generator engine. The RNG engine's algorithm uses the "Mersenne Twister" pseudorandom number generator.
Random number generators have applications in gambling, statistical sampling, cryptography, computer simulations and a variety of other use cases where producing an unpredictable result is desirable. In the case of gambling or playing a board game with dice, you can only generate a random numerical result by physically rolling the dice. However, you cannot do that in a virtual setting (playing a game online) without an RNG algorithm to produce a number that reflects the randomness of rolling real dice.
Any application that relies on the generation of a random number can be powered by our software. The Company's RNG engine uses complex algorithms that have been independently certified by an arms-length software expert confirming our RNG engine produces a number that is truly and completely random.
Our software platform allows third party developers to easily integrate their own gaming apps and to fully utilize our RNG engine.
Sentiment-driven applications
We have also created a sentiment engine that utilises data taken from live feeds on social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook in order to generate a continuously changing score for celebrities. The feed can be passed through the RNG engine to create additional volatility. Our software allows a score to be presented to players based on the date gathered from the live feeds, and players can predict whether the score of a celebrity will be higher or lower in a specific time frame.
Marketing Features
Our software platform offers our clients the ability to access various third party and internally developed data analytics tools, which can be utilized to optimise their own digital marketing campaigns and reduce their customer acquisition costs in order to maximise their profitability.
Social media
The dominant advertising channels in social media are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube (Google), with modern apps like TikTok becoming increasingly important. Our software platform enables the use of third-party campaign management tools to target specific customer groups and optimise hundreds of individual marketing campaigns. There are a wide range of parameters which can be applied to any campaign, thus facilitating an almost limitless number of individual campaigns.
Search engines
Google is the global market leader among search engines. Paid search is powered by a mix of ads, both text and image-based, which are initiated through bidding on specific words and phrases that consumers are expected to search for. Advertisers can target specific groups, such as age, gender, and various other demographics, which are then shown ads within third party websites and apps utilising Google AdSense. Typically, this generates high quality and "relevant" traffic. Using our software platform Google ads can be easily managed and integrated into our client's frontend apps.
Intellectual Property
The Company has not filed for, nor does it own, patents related to its intellectual property. The Company has registered the following active trademarks:
|
NENX Registered with: EUIPO Trademark number: 013036207 Type: Word Registration date: 18/11/2014 Nice Classification: 9, 41 |
DITO Registered with: EUIPO Trademark number: 013116397 Type: Word Registration date: 28/12/2016 Nice Classification: 9, 41 |
The Company also owns the following domains: dito.com, gametech.com, nenx.com, hilo.games, hilo.casino, megastars.net, megastars.app, megastars.uk
Regulatory
We are an early stage software developer and our software platform provides third party gaming companies and gaming app developers with the tools to build high quality products. We do not create the games, sell the games or operate the games in any jurisdiction. As a B2B developer of software, we believe we are not subject to the regulations that may affect other companies in the iGaming industry who interact directly with retail customers (B2C) using the gaming software. If our clients wish to sell to produce games in a regulated market, they will need to have the necessary licenses and meet the regulations within their jurisdiction. We believe the responsibility of meeting local regulatory requirements (where applicable) rests with our clients.
Properties
The Company's address in New York is 413 West 14th Street, New York, New York 10014, and our telephone number is +1 (347) 983-1227. The Company's offices are rented under a month to month lease for approximately $142.00 per month.
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Dito UK, leases office facilities in London, England and is located at 184 Shepherds Bush Road, London, England W6 7NL.
The Company did not have any other leases with initial terms of 12 months or more at December 31, 2019.
Employees
As an early stage software company we currently have no employees or employment agreements with anyone. Our sole officer and director is a non-employee officer and director of the Company who works full time on Company matters.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. Currently there are no legal proceedings, government actions, administrative actions, investigations or claims are currently pending against us or involve the Company which, in the opinion of the management of the Company, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition.

(1) During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued 3,748,150 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $117,716, reflecting an effective price per share of $0.0314, in payment of accrued director fees.
(2) During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued 464,025 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $13,101, reflecting an effective price per share of $0.02823, in payment of accrued director fees.
Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End
There are no outstanding equity awards held by Dito named executive officers or directors as of December 31, 2019 or March 31, 2020.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Director Independence
Our Board of Directors is currently composed of one member, Jason Drummond, who does not qualify as an independent director. We are not subject to the listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board comprised of a majority of "Independent Directors."
Committees of the Board of Directors
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our sole director. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the board established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the company is an early development stage company, and to date, our sole director has been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our sole director has the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations and audit issues that may affect management decisions until such time as we add more members to our Board and establish any such committees.
Term of office
All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a Code of Ethics.
MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Market Information
There is currently no public market for our shares of common stock.
We intend to seek a listing of our common stock on the OTCQB, which is an interdealer quotation system maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc., however, we cannot assure you that our application will be approved.
Shareholders
As of June 30, 2020, there were an estimated 33 holders of record of our common stock.
Dividends
We have never paid a cash dividend on our common stock since inception. The payment of dividends may be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will depend upon, but not limited to, our operations, capital requirements, and overall financial condition.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the Board of Directors may consider relevant. We intend to follow a policy of retaining all of our earnings to finance the development and execution of our strategy and the expansion of our business. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will occur only if our stock price appreciates.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
Authorized Capital Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 common shares, each with a par value of $0.001 per share, of which 45,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares shall be preferred stock.
Common Stock
As of June 30, 2020, there were 24,698,325 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are of the same class and have equal rights and attributes. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company. All shareholders are entitled to share equally in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to share rateably in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and liquidation preferences of preferred stockholders. The Company's shareholders do not have cumulative or pre-emptive rights.
Preferred Stock
As of June 30, 2020, there are no preferred shares issued and outstanding. Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, which may be issued by the Board of Directors from time to time in one or more series. Our Board of Directors, without further approval of our stockholders, is authorized to fix the dividend rights and terms, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preferences and other rights and restrictions relating to any series of preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Issuances of shares of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock and prior series of preferred stock then outstanding.
Warrants
As of June 30, 2020 the Company had no warrants issued and outstanding or authorized to be issued.
Options
As of June 30, 2020 the Company had no options issued and outstanding or authorized to be issued.
Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws
We are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:
|
|
• |
the transaction was approved by the board of directors prior to the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder; |
|
|
• |
upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by directors who are also officers of the corporation and shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or |
|
|
• |
at or subsequent to the time the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business combination was approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
In general, Section 203 defines a "business combination" to include mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in financial benefit to a stockholder and an "interested stockholder" as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing changes in control of our company.
Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of our board of directors or management team, including the following:
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Globex Transfer, LLC. Its address is 780 Deltona Blvd., Suite 202 Deltona, FL 32725 and its telephone number is 813-344-4490.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Dito, Inc.
New York, New York
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dito, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has no recurring source of revenue and has experienced negative operating cash flows since inception. The Company has financed its working capital requirements since inception through the sale of its equity securities and from borrowings. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company's auditor since 2019.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Combination
Dito, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 23, 2019. Effective as of March 18, 2020, Dito, Inc. completed a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Dito UK Limited that provided for each outstanding ordinary share of Dito UK Limited to be effectively converted into 25 shares of common stock of Dito, Inc. As a result, Dito UK Limited became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dito, Inc. in a recapitalization transaction, as described below.
Dito UK Limited was originally formed as Smart Tower Limited on November 3, 2017 in the United Kingdom for the purpose of software development. On June 29, 2018, Smart Tower Limited changed its name to NENX Gaming Limited and then to Dito UK Limited on July 29, 2019.
Dito, Inc. maintains its principal executive offices in New York, New York, United States. Dito UK Limited maintains its principal executive offices in London, England.
Basis of Presentation
For financial reporting purposes, the Exchange Agreement was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control (the "Combination"), as Dito, Inc was formed by Dito UK Limited, with the objective of Dito UK Limited becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dito Inc., and the resultant parent company being domiciled in the United States. As a result of the Combination, the former stockholders of Dito UK Limited became the controlling shareholders of Dito, Inc., and the Dito UK Limited management and board members became the management and board members of Dito, Inc.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements presented herein for all periods are based on the historical financial statements of each of Dito, Inc. and Dito UK Limited. The stockholders' equity section of the Dito, Inc. balance sheet has been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect the accounting effect of the Combination. The net loss per share and weighted average common shares outstanding information presented herein also reflects this retroactive restatement for all periods presented. All costs associated with the Combination were charged to operations as incurred.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, Dito, Inc. ("Dito US") and Dito UK Limited ("Dito UK") are hereinafter referred to as the "Company".
The Company's activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for additional capital, as described below. The Company has not yet commenced any revenue-generating operations, does not have positive cash flows from operations, and is dependent on periodic infusions of debt and equity capital to fund its operating requirements.
Business Operations
The Company is a mobile games developer and publisher with offices in London and New York. The Company intends to license its software platform to mobile gaming operators and developers to enable rapid development of new games.
Going Concern
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has had no operating revenues to date, and has experienced recurring net losses from operations and negative operating cash flows. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $636,033, utilized cash in operating activities of $431,165, and had an accumulated deficit of $754,376 as of December 31, 2019. The Company has financed its working capital requirements since inception through the sale of its equity securities and from borrowings.
At December 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $320,402, reflecting cash of $302,500 from the sale of common stock in December 2019. Subsequently, in January and February 2020, the Company raised an additional $210,000 from the sale of common stock, bringing the total amount raised in this equity financing to $512,500. The Company has limited cash resources available to fund its operations and will therefore need to raise additional funds in the short-term. The Company estimates that a significant amount of capital will be necessary over a sustained period of time to advance the development of the Company's business to the point at which it can become commercially viable and self-sustaining. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in this regard.
As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan, and to ultimately achieve sustainable operating revenues and profitability. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The development and expansion of the Company's business in 2020 and thereafter will be dependent on many factors, including the capital resources available to the Company. No assurances can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company or adequate to fund the development and expansion of the Company's business to a level that is commercially viable and self-sustaining. There is also significant uncertainty as to the affect that the coronavirus pandemic may have on the availability, amount and type of financing in the future.
If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company's ongoing cash requirements, the Company would be required to scale back or discontinue its operations, obtain funds, if available, although there can be no certainty, through strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to its technology, or to discontinue its operations entirely.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Combination
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and include the financial statements of Dito US and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, Dito UK. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are expected to include those related to assumptions used in calculating accruals for potential liabilities, valuing equity instruments issued for services, and the realization of deferred tax assets.
Cash
The Company maintains its cash balances with financial institutions with high credit ratings. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company's cash balances by currency consisted of the following:

Concentration of Risk
The Company may periodically contract with consultants and vendors to provide services related to the Company's business development activities. Agreements for these services may be for a specific time period or for a specific project or task. The Company did not have any agreements at December 31, 2019.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be credited to operations in the period such determination was made. Alternatively, should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to operations in the period such determination was made.
Dito US is subject to U.S. federal income taxes and income taxes of the State of New York. The Company's operations in the United States through December 31, 2019 were nominal.
Dito UK is subject to taxation in the United Kingdom. As a foreign corporation, Dito UK is not consolidated with Dito U.S. in the Company's U.S. federal tax filings.
As the Company's net operating losses in the respective jurisdictions in which it operates have yet to be utilized, all previous tax years remain open to examination by the taxing authorities in which the Company currently operates. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and does not anticipate any material amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
The Company accounts for uncertainties in income tax law under a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns as prescribed by GAAP. The tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If the tax position is not considered "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had not recorded any liability for uncertain tax positions. In subsequent periods, any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions will be recognized as a component of income tax expense.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company issues common stock and intends to issue stock options to officers, directors and consultants for services rendered. Options will vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date of each grant. Stock grants, which are generally time vested, will be measured at the grant date fair value and charged to operations ratably over the vesting period.
The fair value of stock options granted as stock-based compensation will be determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and can be affected by several variables, the most significant of which are the life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date, and the estimated volatility of the common stock. Estimated volatility will be based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock over an appropriate calculation period, or, if not available, by reference to the volatility of a representative sample of comparable public companies. The risk-free interest rate will be based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The fair market value of the common stock will be determined by reference to the quoted market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date, or, if not available, by reference to an appropriate alternative valuation methodology.
The Company will recognize the fair value of stock-based compensation awards in general and administrative costs or in software development costs, as appropriate, in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company will issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any outstanding stock options.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income or loss is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Components of comprehensive income or loss, including net income or loss, unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities, unrealized gains or losses on other financial investments, unrealized gains or losses on pension and retirement benefit plans, and foreign currency translation adjustments, are reported in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) are reported net of any related tax effect to arrive at comprehensive income (loss). The Company's comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 consists of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company's computation of earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income (loss) attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible notes payable, convertible preferred stock, warrants and stock options) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per common share is the same for all periods presented because there is no convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, warrants or stock options outstanding.
Weighted average common shares outstanding has been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect the accounting effect of the Combination (see Note 1).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The authoritative guidance with respect to fair value established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of three categories, as presented below. Disclosure as to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, is also required.
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active-exchange traded securities and exchange-based derivatives.
Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges.
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data for the asset or liability which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently-traded non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds and are measured using present value pricing models.
The Company will determine the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company will perform an analysis of the assets and liabilities at each reporting period end.
The carrying value of financial instruments (consisting of cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses) is considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are included in income and expense when realized. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three years.
The Company recognizes depreciation of property and equipment in general and administrative costs in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the inception of the lease initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. ASU 2016-02 requires recognition in the statement of operations of a single lease cost that is calculated as a total cost of the lease allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. The Company did not have any leases within the scope of ASU 2016-02 at December 31, 2018.
Software Development Costs
Due to the significant uncertainty with respect to the successful development of commercially viable products based on Company's development efforts, all software development costs incurred with respect to the Company's mobile gaming platform as described at Note 3 are charged to operations as incurred.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property, consisting of software, is recorded at cost. Amortization of intellectual property is provided using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three years.
The Company recognizes amortization of intellectual property in software development costs in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, consisting of property and equipment and intellectual property, for impairment at each fiscal year end or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may exceed their current fair values. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. The Company has not historically recorded any impairment to its long-lived assets. In the future, if events or market conditions affect the estimated fair value to the extent that a long-lived asset is impaired, the Company will adjust the carrying value of these long-lived assets in the period in which the impairment occurs. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had not deemed any long-lived assets as impaired and was not aware of the existence of any indicators of impairment at such dates.
Foreign Currency
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("USD"). The functional currency of Dito UK, the Company's foreign subsidiary, is the British Pound ("GBP"), the local currency in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary are translated at the current exchange rate at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders' equity (deficiency). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss).
Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the foreign subsidiary, Dito UK, into USD has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
| As of and for the Years Ended December 31, |
||||||
| 2019 | 2018 | |||||
| Period-end GBP to USD1.00 exchange rate | 1.3262 | 1.2741 | ||||
| Period-average GBP to USD1.00 exchange rate | 1.2772 | 1.3349 | ||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. ASU 2016-13 will replace the current "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the provisions of ASU 2016-13 as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which ASU 2016-13 is effective. As small business filer, ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Management is currently in the process of assessing the impact of adopting ASU-2016-13 on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
3. GameTech UK Limited Transaction
On August 10, 2018, the Company (through Dito UK) entered into an Asset Sale Agreement (the "Sale Agreement") with GameTech UK Limited ("GameTech") pursuant to a Court Order (the "Order") issued by the Joint Administrators of GameTech UK Limited (in administration) on May 29, 2018. GameTech's last full year of operations was the year ended December 31, 2016 and it had nominal revenues in such year. On May 11, 2017, administrators were appointed for GameTech and GameTech entered insolvency proceedings. Approximately fifteen months later, the administrators of GameTech entered into the Sale Agreement with the Company (through Dito UK). Jason Drummond, a related party and a current shareholder of the Company (see Notes 6 and 8), was the largest shareholder of GameTech, owning 45.9% of its outstanding ordinary shares, with no other shareholder owning more than 9.9% of its outstanding ordinary shares.
The Order granted an application previously made on April 19, 2019 for the Administrators of GameTech to sell GameTech assets which were subject to the claims of the secured creditors. The Sale Agreement was an integral part of the Order and provided for the cash payment of $148,800 (approximately equivalent to 116,500£), to be applied towards the acquisition by the Company of certain assets of GameTech, in which certain creditors of GameTech held a security interest. The Order also called for the infusion of $300,098 (equivalent to 235,000£) into the Company, and the issuance of 30% of the Company's equity to the secured creditors, for which the secured creditors would release their secured interest. Accordingly, it was determined that 3,271,150 common shares, valued at $42,162 (approximately equivalent to 33,016£), were to be issued in order to satisfy this provision. On December 4, 2018, 750,000 of such shares valued at $9,667 (approximately equivalent to 7,570£), were issued. On May 29, 2019, the remaining 2,521,150 of such shares valued at $32,495 (approximately equivalent to 25,446£) were issued.
Pursuant to ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, this transaction was considered as an acquisition of assets, rather than a purchase of a business, because the intellectual property assets of GameTech, consisting of gaming software and a related technology platform, were acquired from a non-operational business in insolvency proceedings. Furthermore, the Company did not intend to operate this gaming software under a business plan similar to that of GameTech's. Instead, the Company's plan was to modify the software and license it to mobile gaming operators and developers. This software was acquired under the expectations that it would require significant modifications to be able to be utilized in the Company's anticipated new business model. In addition, such further modifications to commercialize the software are expected to require additional time and capital, which cannot be quantified at this time until enough capital has been raised to fully implement the process, of which there can be no assurance. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that this process will ultimately result in the successful development of commercially viable software that can be utilized in the Company's new business model.
The Company allocated the purchase consideration between intellectual property assets and property and equipment based on its review of the underlying assets and their intended use in the Company's new business model, which resulted in most of the purchase consideration being allocated to intellectual property. Based on this analysis, the Company determined to amortize the intellectual property assets (as well as the nominal amount of property and equipment also acquired from GameTech) on the straight-line basis over three years from the date of acquisition.

7. Leases
Short-Term Operating Lease
The Company leases office facilities in New York, New York on a month-to-month basis at a cost of $142 per month. Aggregate payments under this operating lease charged to general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations were $1,514 for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Long-Term Operating Lease
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Dito UK, leases office facilities in London, England. The Company did not have any other leases with initial terms of 12 months or more at December 31, 2019.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Accordingly, the initial lease was accounted for as a short-term operating lease with a term of less than 12 months at December 31, 2018.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and right-of-use lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest, equivalent to a discount rate, in lease arrangements is not readily determinable and the prevailing commercial property mortgage rate is utilized in determining the present value of lease payments.
The monthly cash payment for this operating lease is approximately $4,010 per month, and the lease term ends on March 31, 2021. The Company recorded right-of-use assets and liabilities of $91,774 on March 19, 2019, based on the present value of payments and an incremental borrowing rate of 4.27% per annum.
The following schedule sets forth the operating lease right of use activity for the year ended December 31, 2019:
| Capitalized present value of lease payments | $ | 91,774 | |
| Less amortization | (32,363 | ) | |
| Foreign currency adjustment | (1,275 | ) | |
| Operating lease right of use asset, net | $ | 58,136 |
The following schedule sets forth the current portion and long-term portion of operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2018:
| December 31, | ||||||
| 2019 | 2018 | |||||
| Current portion | $ | 46,509 | $ | - | ||
| Long-term portion | 11,627 | - | ||||
| Total lease liability | $ | 58,136 | $ | - | ||
This operating lease had a remaining term of 1.25 years as of December 31, 2019. The following schedule sets forth the remaining annual future lease payments outstanding as of December 31, 2019:
| 2020 | $ | 48,120 | |
| 2021 | 12,030 | ||
| Total lease payments | 60,150 | ||
| Less amount representing imputed interest | (2,014 | ) | |
| Present value of lease liabilities | $ | 58,136 |
Cash paid for the amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $36,090. Aggregate lease expense for this operating lease charged to general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations was $55,029 and $4,485 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Private Placement of Common Stock
Effective as of February 26, 2020, the Company completed a private placement to non-U.S. persons for the sale of 205,000 shares of its common stock (the "Private Placement") at a price of $2.50 per share pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act with thirteen individual investors for cash proceeds of $512,500. No fees or other costs were incurred in connection with this Private Placement.
Of the 205,000 shares of common stock sold, 121,000 shares were sold for a total purchase price of $302,500 prior to December 31, 2019. During January and February 2020, the remaining 84,000 shares were sold for a total purchase price of $210,000. The proceeds from the Private Placement were used for general operating purposes.
On March 4, 2020, the fourteenth investor elected to cancel their subscription for 24,000 shares of common stock. The subscription proceeds of $60,000, which were received in December 2019, were returned to the cancelling investor on March 18, 2020. As of December 31, 2019, the cancelled stock sale was excluded from stockholders' equity and was reflected as a cancelled common stock investment payable in the consolidated balance sheet at such date.
Share Exchange Agreement with Dito UK
Effective as of March 18, 2020, Dito, Inc. entered into Share Exchange Agreements (the "Exchange Agreements") and completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Dito UK Limited. The Exchange Agreements provided for each outstanding ordinary share of Dito UK Limited to be effectively converted into 25 shares of common stock of Dito, Inc., and as a result Dito UK Limited became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dito, Inc. in a recapitalization transaction, as described at Note 1.
10. Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are summarized below.
| December 31, | ||||||
| 2019 | 2018 | |||||
| Net operating loss carryforwards - Foreign | $ | 143,000 | $ | 22,000 | ||
| Net operating loss carryforwards - U.S. | 1,000 | - | ||||

| Valuation allowance | (144,000 | ) | (22,000 | ) | ||
| Net deferred tax assets | $ | - | $ | - | ||
In assessing the potential realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company attaining future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, management was unable to determine if it is more likely than not that the Company's deferred tax assets will be realized and has therefore recorded an appropriate valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at such dates.
No U.S. federal tax provision has been provided for Dito US for the year ended December 31, 2019 due to the losses incurred during such period. No U.S. federal tax provision was provided for Dito US for the year ended December 31, 2018 because it had not been organized at such date.
The reconciliation below presents the difference between the income tax rate computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Company
The global outbreak of COVID-19 has led to severe disruptions in general economic activities, as businesses and governments have taken broad actions to mitigate this public health crisis. Although the Company has not experienced any significant disruption to its business to date, these conditions could significantly negatively impact the Company's business in the future.
The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak ultimately impacts the Company's business, future revenues, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity and longevity, the actions to curtail the virus and treat its impact (including an effective vaccine), and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may be at risk of experiencing a significant impact to its business as a result of the global economic impact, including any economic downturn or recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.
Currently, capital markets have been disrupted by the crisis, as a result of which the availability, amount and type of financing available to the Company in the near future is uncertain and cannot be assured and is largely dependent upon evolving market conditions and other factors.
The Company intends to continue to monitor the situation and may adjust its current business plans as more information and guidance become available.
12. Subsequent Events
The Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date on which these consolidated financial statements were issued. There were no material subsequent events which affected, or could affect, the amounts or disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, other than those as described below.

No fees or other costs were incurred in connection with this Private Placement. Additional information with respect to the Private Placement is provided at Note 9.
Share Exchange Agreement with Dito UK Limited
Effective as of March 18, 2020, Dito, Inc. entered into Share Exchange Agreements (the "Exchange Agreements") and completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Dito UK Limited.

Unsecured Loan
On June 9, 2020, Dito UK received an unsecured loan of $60,600 (equivalent to 47,600£) from Metro Bank PLC under the Bounce Bank Loan Scheme managed by the British Business Bank on behalf of, and with the financial backing of, The Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy of the Government of the United Kingdom. The Government of the United Kingdom has provided a full guarantee to Metro Bank PLC with respect to the repayment of this loan. The proceeds from the loan are required to be used for working capital purposes, for investment in a company’s business, and to support trading or commercial activity in the United Kingdom. The loan is for a term of 72 months and has a fixed interest rate of 2.5% per annum.

Beginning in the 13th month after the draw down of the loan, Dito UK will be required to repay the loan by making 60 equal monthly payments of principal and interest aggregating $1,076 (equivalent to 845£) per month.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Dito, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Dito US"), including its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, Dito UK Limited ("Dito UK") (collectively, the "Company"), at March 31, 2020, and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, are unaudited. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2020, and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements at such date.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Organization and Combination
Dito US was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 23, 2019. Effective as of March 18, 2020, Dito US completed a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Dito UK that provided for each outstanding ordinary share of Dito UK to be effectively converted into 25 shares of common stock of Dito US. As a result, Dito UK became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dito US in a recapitalization transaction, as described below.
Dito UK was originally formed as Smart Tower Limited on November 3, 2017 in the United Kingdom for the purpose of software development. On June 29, 2018, Smart Tower Limited changed its name to NENX Gaming Limited and then to Dito UK on July 29, 2019.
Dito US maintains its principal executive offices in New York, New York, United States. Dito UK maintains its principal executive offices in London, England.
Basis of Presentation
For financial reporting purposes, the Exchange Agreement was accounted for as a combination of entities under common control (the "Combination"), as Dito US was formed by Dito UK, with the objective of Dito UK becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dito US, and the resultant parent company being domiciled in the United States. As a result of the Combination, the former stockholders of Dito UK became the controlling shareholders of Dito US, and the Dito UK management and board members became the management and board members of Dito US.
Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein for all periods are based on the historical financial statements of each of Dito US and Dito UK. The stockholders' equity section of the Dito US balance sheet has been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect the accounting effect of the Combination. The net loss per share and weighted average common shares outstanding information presented herein also reflects this retroactive restatement for all periods presented. All costs associated with the Combination were charged to operations as incurred.
The Company's activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for additional capital, as described below. The Company has not yet commenced any revenue-generating operations, does not have positive cash flows from operations, and is dependent on periodic infusions of debt and equity capital to fund its operating requirements.
Business Operations
The Company is a mobile games developer and publisher with offices in London and New York. The Company intends to license its software platform to mobile gaming operators and developers to enable rapid development of new games.
Going Concern
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has had no operating revenues to date, and has experienced recurring net losses from operations and negative operating cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $251,504, utilized cash in operating activities of $321,620, and had an accumulated deficit of $1,005,880 as of March 31, 2020. The Company has financed its working capital requirements since inception through the sale of its equity securities and from borrowings.
At March 31, 2020, the Company had cash of $138,957. The Company has limited cash resources to fund its operations and will therefore need to raise additional funds in the short-term. The Company estimates that a significant amount of capital will be necessary over a sustained period of time to advance the development of the Company's business to the point at which it can become commercially viable and self-sustaining. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in this regard.
As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan, and to ultimately achieve sustainable operating revenues and profitability. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The development and expansion of the Company's business in 2020 and thereafter will be dependent on many factors, including the capital resources available to the Company. No assurances can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company or adequate to fund the development and expansion of the Company's business to a level that is commercially viable and self-sustaining. There is also significant uncertainty as to the affect that the coronavirus pandemic may have on the availability, amount and type of financing in the future.
If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy the Company's ongoing cash requirements, the Company would be required to scale back or discontinue its operations, obtain funds, if available, although there can be no certainty, through strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to its technology, or to discontinue its operations entirely.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Combination
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and include the financial statements of Dito US and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, Dito UK. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are expected to include those related to assumptions used in calculating accruals for potential liabilities, valuing equity instruments issued for services, and the realization of deferred tax assets.

The Company maintains its cash balances with financial institutions with high credit ratings. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice.
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company's cash balances by currency consisted of the following:
| March 31, 2020 |
December 31, 2019 |
|||||
| GBP | 62,399£ | 32,301£ | ||||
| USD | $ | 61,576 | $ | 277,565 |
Cash balances in British Pounds are maintained in the United Kingdom and cash balances in United States Dollars are maintained in the United States.
Concentration of Risk
The Company may periodically contract with consultants and vendors to provide services related to the Company's business development activities. Agreements for these services may be for a specific time period or for a specific project or task. The Company did not have any such formal agreements at March 31, 2020.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Accordingly, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be credited to operations in the period such determination was made. Alternatively, should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to operations in the period such determination was made.
Dito US is subject to U.S. federal income taxes and income taxes of the State of New York. The Company's operations in the United States through March 31, 2020 were nominal.
Dito UK is subject to taxation in the United Kingdom. As a foreign corporation, Dito UK is not consolidated with Dito US in the Company's U.S. federal tax filings.
As the Company's net operating losses in the respective jurisdictions in which it operates have yet to be utilized, all previous tax years remain open to examination by the taxing authorities in which the Company currently operates. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019 and does not anticipate any material amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
The Company accounts for uncertainties in income tax law under a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns as prescribed by GAAP. The tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained by the taxing authority as of the reporting date. If the tax position is not considered "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had not recorded any liability for uncertain tax positions. In subsequent periods, any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions will be recognized as a component of income tax expense.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company issues common stock and intends to issue stock options to officers, directors and consultants for services rendered. Options will vest and expire according to terms established at the issuance date of each grant. Stock grants, which are generally time vested, will be measured at the grant date fair value and charged to operations ratably over the vesting period.
The fair value of stock options granted as stock-based compensation will be determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and can be affected by several variables, the most significant of which are the life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date, and the estimated volatility of the common stock. Estimated volatility will be based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock over an appropriate calculation period, or, if not available, by reference to the volatility of a representative sample of comparable public companies. The risk-free interest rate will be based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The fair market value of the common stock will be determined by reference to the quoted market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date, or, if not available, by reference to an appropriate alternative valuation methodology.
The Company will recognize the fair value of stock-based compensation awards in general and administrative costs or in software development costs, as appropriate, in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company will issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any outstanding stock options.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income or loss is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Components of comprehensive income or loss, including net income or loss, unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities, unrealized gains or losses on other financial investments, unrealized gains or losses on pension and retirement benefit plans, and foreign currency translation adjustments, are reported in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) are reported net of any related tax effect to arrive at comprehensive income (loss). The Company's comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 consists of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company's computation of earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income (loss) attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible notes payable, convertible preferred stock, warrants and stock options) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per common share is the same for all periods presented because there is no convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, warrants or stock options outstanding.
Weighted average common shares outstanding has been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect the accounting effect of the Combination (see Note 1).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The authoritative guidance with respect to fair value established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of three categories, as presented below. Disclosure as to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, is also required.
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active-exchange traded securities and exchange-based derivatives.
Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges.
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data for the asset or liability which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently-traded non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds and are measured using present value pricing models.
The Company will determine the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company will perform an analysis of the assets and liabilities at each reporting period end.
The carrying value of financial instruments (consisting of cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses) is considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses from disposition of property and equipment are included in income and expense when realized. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three years.
The Company recognizes depreciation of property and equipment in general and administrative costs in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the inception of the lease initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. ASU 2016-02 requires recognition in the statement of operations of a single lease cost that is calculated as a total cost of the lease allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis.
Software Development Costs
Due to the significant uncertainty with respect to the successful development of commercially viable products based on Company's development efforts, all software development costs incurred with respect to the Company's mobile gaming platform are charged to operations as incurred.
Intellectual Property
Intellectual property, consisting of software, is recorded at cost. Amortization of intellectual property is provided using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three years.
The Company recognizes amortization of intellectual property in software development costs in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, consisting of property and equipment and intellectual property, for impairment at each fiscal year end or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may exceed their current fair values. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. The Company has not historically recorded any impairment to its long-lived assets. In the future, if events or market conditions affect the estimated fair value to the extent that a long-lived asset is impaired, the Company will adjust the carrying value of these long-lived assets in the period in which the impairment occurs. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had not deemed any long-lived assets as impaired and was not aware of the existence of any indicators of impairment at such dates.
Foreign Currency
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars ("USD"). The functional currency of Dito UK, the Company's foreign subsidiary, is the British Pound ("GBP"), the local currency in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary are translated at the current exchange rate at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders' equity (deficiency). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss).
Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the foreign subsidiary, Dito UK, into USD has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
| As of and for the Three Months Ended March 31, |
||||||
| 2020 | 2019 | |||||
| Period-end GBP to USD1.00 exchange rate | 1.2401 | 1.3023 | ||||
| Period-average GBP to USD1.00 exchange rate | 1.2804 | 1.3028 | ||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. ASU 2016-13 will replace the current "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the provisions of ASU 2016-13 as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which ASU 2016-13 is effective. As small business filer, ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Management is currently in the process of assessing the impact of adopting ASU-2016-13 on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

6. Leases
Short-Term Operating Lease
The Company leases office facilities in New York, New York on a month-to-month basis at a cost of $142 per month. Aggregate payments under this operating lease charged to general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations were $489 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Long-Term Operating Lease
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Dito UK, leases office facilities in London, England. The Company did not have any other leases with initial terms of 12 months or more at March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Accordingly, the initial lease was accounted for as a short-term operating lease with a term of less than 12 months at March 31, 2019.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and right-of-use lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest, equivalent to a discount rate, in lease arrangements is not readily determinable and the prevailing commercial property mortgage rate is utilized in determining the present value of lease payments.
The monthly cash payment for this operating lease is approximately $4,010 per month, and the lease term ends on March 31, 2021. The Company recorded right-of-use assets and liabilities of $91,774 on April 1, 2019, based on the present value of payments and an incremental borrowing rate of 4.27% per annum.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Company
The global outbreak of COVID-19 has led to severe disruptions in general economic activities, as businesses and governments have taken broad actions to mitigate this public health crisis. Although the Company has not experienced any significant disruption to its business to date, these conditions could significantly negatively impact the Company's business in the future.
The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak ultimately impacts the Company's business, future revenues, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity and longevity, the actions to curtail the virus and treat its impact (including an effective vaccine), and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may be at risk of experiencing a significant impact to its business as a result of the global economic impact, including any economic downturn or recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.
Currently, capital markets have been disrupted by the crisis, as a result of which the availability, amount and type of financing available to the Company in the near future is uncertain and cannot be assured and is largely dependent upon evolving market conditions and other factors.
The Company intends to continue to monitor the situation and may adjust its current business plans as more information and guidance become available.

The Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date on which these consolidated financial statements were issued. There were no material subsequent events which affected, or could affect, the amounts or disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, other than those as described below.
Unsecured Loan
On June 9, 2020, Dito UK received an unsecured loan of $60,600 (equivalent to 47,600£) from Metro Bank PLC under the Bounce Bank Loan Scheme managed by the British Business Bank on behalf of, and with the financial backing of, The Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy of the Government of the United Kingdom. The Government of the United Kingdom has provided a full guarantee to Metro Bank PLC with respect to the repayment of this loan. The proceeds from the loan are required to be used for working capital purposes, for investment in a company's business, and to support trading or commercial activity in the United Kingdom. The loan is for a term of 72 months and has a fixed interest rate of 2.5% per annum. Dito UK is not required to make any payments of interest on the loan during the first 12 months of this loan, with such amount to be paid by the Government of the United Kingdom under its business interruption payment program. Beginning in the 13th month after the draw down of the loan, Dito UK will be required to repay the loan by making 60 equal monthly payments of principal and interest aggregating $1,076 (equivalent to 845£) per month.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Registrant incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred.
The Registrant's certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for the indemnification of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Except as otherwise disclosed under the heading "Legal Proceedings" in the "Business" section of this registration statement, there is at present no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of the Registrant's directors or executive officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and the Registrant is not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.
The Registrant does not currently have an insurance policy in place that covers its officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise, but intends to obtain a policy in due course.
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On February 26, 2020, we completed a private placement to non-U.S. persons for the sale of 205,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $2.50 per share pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act with thirteen individual investors for cash proceeds of $512,500. No fees or other costs, other than legal costs, were incurred in connection with the Private Placement.
Of the 205,000 shares of common stock sold, 121,000 shares were sold for a total purchase price of $302,500 prior to December 31, 2019. During January and February 2020, the remaining 84,000 shares were sold for a total purchase price of $210,000. The proceeds from the Private Placement were used for general operating purposes.
Effective March 18, 2020, Dito entered into a Share Exchange Agreements (the "Exchange Agreement") with each of the shareholders in Dito UK to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Dito UK. The Exchange Agreements provided for each outstanding ordinary share of Dito UK to be effectively converted into 25 shares of common stock of Dito.
