Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations

Argentum 47, Inc., formerly Global Equity International Inc. (the “Company” or “ARG”), a reporting company since June 21, 2012, was organized under the laws of the state of Nevada on October 1, 2010. Global Equity Partners, Plc. (“GEP”), a private company, was organized under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles on September 2, 2009. On November 15, 2010, GEP executed a reverse recapitalization with ARG. On August 22, 2014, we formed a Dubai subsidiary of GEP called GE Professionals DMCC. On June 10, 2016, ARG incorporated its wholly owned subsidiary, called GEP Equity Holdings Limited (“GEP EH”), under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. On March 14, 2017, the Company’s board of directors unanimously voted to transfer the ownership of GE Professionals DMCC (Dubai) to GEP EH. On June 5, 2017, the Company sold 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of GEP to a citizen of the Republic of Thailand by entering into a Stock Purchase and Debt Assumption Agreement. On December 12, 2017, ARG incorporated another wholly owned subsidiary, called Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited (“Argentum FM”), under the Companies Act 2006 of England and Wales as a private limited company. Argentum FM was formed to serve as a holding Company for the acquisition of various advisory firms.

On March 29, 2018, the Company formally changed its name from Global Equity International, Inc. to Argentum 47, Inc.

On August 1, 2018, Argentum FM entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with a third party, pursuant to which Argentum FM acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Cheshire Trafford (U.K.) Limited of Hull, United Kingdom (“Cheshire Trafford”). Cheshire Trafford was incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom on January 26, 1976, as a limited liability company.

The Company’s consolidated revenues are generated from business consulting services, employment placement services and by acting as broker for sale of Lump Sum or Single Premium Insurance Policies and/or the sale of Regular Premium Investment or Insurance Policies that are issued by third party insurance companies.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the year ended December 31, 2017. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

Note 3 - Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

(Unaudited)

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had a loss from operations of $293,065 and $916,849 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 respectively; net cash used in operations of $582,131 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018; and accumulated deficit of $8,102,882 as of September 30, 2018. It is management’s opinion that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance date of this report.

The ability for the Company to continue its operations is primarily dependent on:

Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

Argentum 47, Inc. (“ARG”) is the parent company of its two 100% owned subsidiaries called GEP Equity Holdings Limited (“GEP EH”) and Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited (“Argentum FM”). Up to June 5, 2017, ARG also owned 100% shareholding of a subsidiary called Global Equity Partners Plc., which was sold in 2017 pursuant to a stock purchase and debt assumption agreement. GEP EH is the parent company of its 100% owned subsidiary, GE Professionals DMCC (Dubai). Argentum FM is the parent company of its 100% owned subsidiary, Cheshire Trafford U.K. Limited (UK) from August 1, 2018 pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated August 1, 2018. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation, or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include allowance for doubtful accounts and loans, estimates of fair value of securities received for services, estimates of fair value of securities held, depreciation of fixed assets, valuation of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of acquired businesses, fair value of business purchase consideration, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, derivative valuations and equity valuations for non-cash equity grants.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, competition and potential risk of business failure. The risk of social and governmental factors is also a concern since the Company is headquartered in Dubai and also has a presence in the United Kingdom.

Segment Reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Comprehensive Income / (Loss)

The Comprehensive Income Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income from January 1, 2018 through September 30, 2018, includes only foreign currency translation gain, and is presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Pursuant to ASU 2016-01, the Company reclassified the opening balance of unrealized gain on available for sale marketable securities from other comprehensive income to retained earnings as a cumulative effect adjustment as at January 1, 2018.

Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) by Component during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were as follows:

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company recognizes accounts receivable in connection with the services provided. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. There was no allowance for bad debt at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. However, there were direct write offs of $30,000 and $65,386 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Foreign currency policy

The Company’s accounting policies related to the consolidation and accounting for foreign operations are as follows: The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s Dubai subsidiary is the Arab Emirates Dirham (“AED”) and the functional currency of the Company’s UK subsidiaries is Great Britain Pounds (“GBP”). All foreign currency balances and transactions are translated into United States dollars (“$” and/or “USD”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of our stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the non-operating income or expenses of the statement of operations.

Investments

Marketable Securities

As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Topic 825-10): “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Some of the amendments in ASU 2016-01 include the following: 1) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; 2) It simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; 3) It requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; 4) It requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value; among others. After evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements, our management has reversed $1,181,675 from accumulated other comprehensive income to opening retained earnings as a cumulative effect adjustment on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method.

At the time of the acquisition, a marketable security is designated as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading, which depends on the ability and intent to hold such security to maturity. Securities classified as trading and available-for-sale are reported at fair value, while securities classified as held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost.

All changes in the fair value of the securities are reported in the earnings as they occur in a single line item “Gain (loss) on available for sale marketable securities, net.” Therefore, no gain/loss is recognized on the sale of securities.

Cost Method Investments

Securities that are not classified as marketable securities are accounted for under the cost method. These securities are recorded at their original cost basis and are subject to impairment testing.

The Company reviews its equity investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other than temporary and require the recognition of an impairment loss in the statement of operations. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investments. Management also considers the type of security, related-industry and sector performance, as well as published investment ratings and analyst reports, to evaluate its portfolio. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, the Company may incur future impairments. The Company recorded a permanent impairment of $1,181,971 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company did not record any such impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided based on estimated useful lives of the assets. Cost of improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to expense when incurred. In case of sale or disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated financial statements.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records any “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) intrinsic value as additional paid in capital and related debt discount.

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is amortized over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Debt Issue Costs

The Company may pay debt issue costs in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt whether convertible or not or with other consideration. These costs are recorded as debt discounts and are amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as amortization of debt discount.

(Unaudited)

Original Issue Discount

If debt is issued with an original issue discount, the original issue discount is recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as amortization of debt discount. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. Upon conversion of a note where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, the Company records the shares at fair value, relieves all related notes, derivatives and debt discounts and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.

Business combinations

The Company accounts for its business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting as indicated in ASC No. 805, “Business Combinations”, which requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and establishes the acquisition date as the fair value measurement point. Accordingly, the Company recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, including contingent assets and liabilities and non-controlling interest in the acquiree, based on fair value estimates as of the date of acquisition.

Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes amounts resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below). The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is re-measured at subsequent reporting dates at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the group obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, resulting in a final valuation, and is subject to a maximum of one year from acquisition date.

Goodwill

In accordance with ASC No. 805, the Company recognizes and measures goodwill, if any, as of the acquisition date, as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the group’s reporting units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Reporting units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss calculated as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value is recorded to goodwill but cannot exceed the goodwill amount. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. On disposal of a subsidiary or the relevant reporting unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Revenue Recognition

As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), that affects the timing of when certain types of revenue will be recognized.

Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring services promised in a contract to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. A single contract could include one or multiple performance obligations. For those contracts that have multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price, which is determined based on the Company’s overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors. Performance obligations in the Company’s contracts generally include general due diligence, assistance in designing client’s capitalization strategy, introductions to potential capital funding sources, Human Resources / Employment Placements and arranging third party insurance policies.

Revenue is recognized by evaluating our revenue contracts with customers based on the five-step model under ASC 606:

The Company generates its revenue by providing following services:

Most of the Company’s business consultancy and advisory services contracts are based on a combination of both fixed fee arrangements and performance based or contingent arrangement. Our employment placement contracts are based on fixed fee arrangements only. In addition, the Company generates initial and trail commissions by acting as a broker of third party lump sum or single premium insurance policies and regular premium investment or insurance policies. Fees from clients for advisory and consulting services are dependent on the extent and value of the services provided. The Company recognizes revenue when the promised services are rendered to the customer in the amount that best reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services.

In fixed-fee billing arrangements, the Company agrees to a pre-established fee in exchange for a predetermined set of professional services. The Company sets the fees based on its estimates of the costs and timing for completing the engagements. The Company generally recognizes revenues under fixed fee billing arrangements using the input method, which is based on work completed to date versus the Company’s estimates of the total services to be provided under the engagement.

(Formerly known as Global Equity International, Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Performance based or contingent arrangements represent forms of variable consideration. In these arrangements, the Company’s fees are linked to the attainment of contractually defined objectives with its clients. These arrangements include conditional payments, commonly referred to as cash success fees and/or equity success fees. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations for these services over time as the related contractual objectives are met. The Company determines the transaction price based on the expected probability of achieving the agreed upon outcome and recognizes revenue earned to date by applying the input method.

Reimbursable expenses, including those relating to travel, out-of-pocket expenses, outside consultants and other outside service costs, are generally included in revenues, and an equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses is included in costs of services in the period in which the expense is incurred.

The payment terms and conditions in the Company’s customer contracts vary. Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recognized as either accrued accounts receivable, an asset or deferred revenues, a liability. Revenues recognized for services performed but not yet billed to clients are recorded as accrued accounts receivable. Client pre-payments and retainers are classified as deferred revenues and recognized over future periods as earned in accordance with the applicable engagement agreement.

All revenues are generated from clients whose operations are based outside of the United States. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had the following concentrations of revenues with customers:

For the post acquisition two months ended September 30, 2018, Company had the following concentrations of revenues regarding advisory and commissions business which is 27.63% of the consolidated revenues of the Company:

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had the following concentrations of accounts receivables with customers:

Share-based payments

The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments to employees, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants at their fair value on the grant date, which is based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

Share based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable as of the measurement date. Amounts recorded prior to the measurement date are adjusted to fair value at each reporting period until a measurement date is achieved. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period.

Share based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes pricing model.

When computing fair value, the Company considered the following variables:

(Formerly known as Global Equity International, Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2018

(Unaudited)

Earnings per Share

The basic net earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.

As at September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had common stock equivalents of 61,750,000 and 32,095,853 common shares respectively, in the form of convertible notes, which, if converted, may be dilutive. See Note 8(F).

As at September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had common stock equivalents of 770,000,000 and 690,000,000 common shares respectively, in the form of convertible preferred stock, which, if converted, may be dilutive. See Note 9(A).

As of September 30, 2018, diluted weighted average number of common shares exceeds total authorized common shares. However, 770,000,000 common shares would result from the conversion of the preferred “B” and preferred “C” stock into common stock. The option to convert the abovementioned preferred “B” and “C” stock into common stock cannot be any earlier than September 27, 2020.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

Argentum 47, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accounts payable to related parties and loans payable to related parties, approximate fair value are based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company measures its derivative liabilities at fair market value on a recurring basis and measures its non-marketable securities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Consequently, the Company may have gains and losses reported in the statement of operations.

The following are the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value:

Marketable Securities — The Level 1 position consists of the Company’s investment in equity securities of stock held in publically traded companies. The valuation of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets.

Changes in Level 1 marketable securities measured at fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were as follows:

Non-Marketable Securities at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis — certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Level 3 position consists of investments accounted for under the cost method. The Level 3 position consists of investments in equity securities held in private companies.

Management believes that an “other-than-temporary impairment” would be justified, as according to ASC 320-10 an investment is considered impaired when the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost basis. The impairment is considered either temporary or other-than-temporary. The accounting literature does not define other-than-temporary. It does, however, state that other-than-temporary does not mean permanent, although, all permanent impairments are considered other-than-temporary. The literature does provide some examples of factors, which may be indicative of an “other-than-temporary impairment,” such as:

Management believes that the fair value of its investment has been correctly measured, as the length of time that the stock has been less than cost is nominal.

Changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new accounting pronouncements that we expect to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements except as follows:

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This update is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share-based payments issued to non-employees (for example, service providers, external legal counsel, suppliers, etc.). The ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which currently only includes share-based payments issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods and services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees and employees will be substantially aligned. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The standard will be applied in a retrospective approach for each period presented. Management currently does not plan to early adopt this guidance and is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements as well as transition methods.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flow (Topic 230). This update is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The update provides new guidance regarding the classification of debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies including bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investments, beneficial interests in securitized transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The standard will be applied in a retrospective approach for each period presented. We have completed an initial evaluation of this standard, which requires cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities. We have determined that there were no cash payments involved in debt extinguishment during the nine months ended September 30, 2018; hence, there will be no potential impact on our financial statements due to this update. We will continue to evaluate the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee will recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-to-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. An entity will be required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Management currently does not plan to early adopt this guidance and is evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements as well as transition methods.

Note 5 – Acquisition of Cheshire Trafford U.K. Limited

On August 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Cheshire Trafford U.K. Limited (“Cheshire Trafford”) pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated as of August 1, 2018 and acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Cheshire Trafford.

Cheshire Trafford acts as a broker for the sale of Lump Sum or Single Premium Insurance Policies and Regular Premium Investment or Insurance Policies that are issued by reputable third party insurance companies.

The Company acquired Cheshire Trafford to enter into the advisory business and meaningfully enhance the Company’s position in this industry. The Company has included the financial results of Cheshire Trafford in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. These results include approximately $29,531 in revenue and $6,254 in net loss.

The purchase consideration for the acquisition of Cheshire Trafford is based on a formula of 2.7 times Cheshire Trafford’s projected annual recurring revenues for the calendar year ending December 31, 2018. We took the gross revenues of Cheshire Trafford for the five months ended May 31, 2018, and annualized those recurring revenues and multiplied those revenues by 2.7 times in arriving at the contractual purchase consideration of $516,795. The purchase consideration is payable in following three installments:

The second and third installments could be reduced (but not increased) in the event that Cheshire Trafford’s trailing or recurring revenues are less than agreed recurring income target of GBP 144,185 during the 12 months period commencing on the Acquisition date, hence these two installments are treated as a contingent purchase consideration. Based on the historical data available regarding the recurring/trail revenues of Cheshire Trafford, Management believes that there is a 95% probability that Cheshire Trafford will achieve the recurring income target of GBP 144,185 during the 12 months period ending on July 31, 2019. Hence, the contingent purchase consideration is adjusted to take into account this probability factor.

In addition, to calculate the fair value of the contingent purchase consideration, our Management has discounted the remaining two installments of $341,085 to be paid, at a discount rate of 6% (our borrowing rate for the purpose of acquisitions) to arrive at the present value of $284,298. Total fair value of the purchase consideration is as follows:

Below table depicts the allocation of fair value of the purchase consideration to the fair value of the net assets of Cheshire Trafford at the acquisition date:

This acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their initial estimated acquisition date fair values. During the purchase price measurement period, which may be one year from the business acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on completion of valuations.

The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed is recognized initially as the fair value of customer list intangible asset. This intangible asset will be amortized on a straight line basis over a life of 15 years which is the average service duration of a customer that has invested with Cheshire Trafford.

The Company shall record acquisition and transaction related expenses in the period in which they are incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, acquisition and transaction related expenses primarily consisted of accountant fees of approximately $23,000 on account of acquisition audits and legal fees of $8,456 paid to attorneys in UK for finalization of share purchase agreements. These expenses are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations as professional services.

On November 13, 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Certificate of Designation; to amend the voting rights and conversion rights of the Company’s Series “A” preferred stock as follows:

On May 19, 2015, the board of directors agreed to the non-redemption of the redeemable Series “A” Preferred Shares and the officers of the Company who held these shares of Series “A” Preferred Stock, returned all 1,983,332 Shares of the Company to Treasury. Since the preferred shares were vested upon issuance in prior years, the cancellation of these shares was considered a contribution back to the Company at zero cost with no gain or loss recognized.

On July 15, 2015 the Certificate of Designation of the 5,000,000 Series “A” preferred shares was withdrawn.

On November 10, 2016, the Company designated 45,000,000 of its authorized preferred stock as Series “B” convertible preferred shares. The Certificate of Designation stated the following:

Note 10 – Revenue

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized total revenues amounting to $106,865 and $226,389, respectively. After the implementation of the ASC 606, the Company’s management believes that the estimated transaction price has not changed based on a re-assessment of the expected probability of achieving the agreed-upon outcome for the Company’s performance based and contingent arrangements. Hence, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there were no revenues recorded related to the catch-up adjustment due to a change in the transaction price in the current period.

Unfulfilled performance obligations represent the remaining contract transaction prices allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, and therefore revenues have not yet been recorded. Unfulfilled performance obligations primarily consist of the remaining fees not yet recognized under the Company’s proportional performance method for both our fixed fee arrangements, and the portion of performance based and contingent arrangements, which we have deemed probable. As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s management believes that all of the fixed fee, performance based and contingent arrangements have an original expected duration of one year or less; hence, the Company elected to utilize the optional exemption to exclude it from this disclosure.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets are defined as assets for which we have recorded revenue because we determined that it is probable that we will earn a performance based or contingent fee, but we are not yet entitled to receive our fees, because certain events, such as completion of the measurement period or client approval, must occur. The contract asset balance was immaterial as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Contract liabilities are defined as liabilities incurred when we have received consideration from a client but have not yet performed the agreed upon services. This may occur when we receive advance billings before delivery of services when clients pay us up-front fees before we begin work for them. The contract liability balance was immaterial as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

During 2015 and 2016, the Company’s Dubai lawyers, Al Safar & Partners, had appealed this judgment various times based on the fact that they believed from a legal stand point that:

On June 5, 2017, a citizen of Republic of Thailand assumed the above total amount of $411,272 by way of a stock purchase and debt assumption agreement; hence, the Company’s liability and respective litigation in respect of this loan was transferred to the acquiring individual.

On March 6, 2018, the Company provided the Dubai attorneys with a signed, stamped and apostilled Certificate of Incumbency issued by the Seychelles Authorities. This Certificate of Incumbency stated that as of June 5, 2017, the company, Global Equity Partners Plc., was sold to a citizen of the Republic of Thailand and that the new owner assumed his role as sole shareholder and sole director of Global Equity Partners Plc. as of the date of sale.

To date, the Dubai attorneys are in the process of transferring the entire court case to the new owner of Global Equity Partners Plc.

Aside from the above matter, we are not subject to any other pending or threatened litigation.
