Such forward-looking statements include, among others, those statements including the words expects, anticipates, intends, believes and similar language. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, our business reliance on third parties to provide us with technology, our ability to integrate and manage acquired technology, assets, companies and personnel, changes in market condition, the volatile and intensely competitive environment in the business sectors in which we operate, rapid technological change, and our dependence on key and scarce employees in a competitive market for skilled personnel. These factors should not be considered exhaustive; we undertake no obligation to release publicly the results of any future revisions we may make to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, as well as those discussed in the section Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances taking place after the date of this document.
Item 1. Business.
Company Overview
We were originally formed as Montrose Ventures, Inc. in the State of Delaware on May 25, 1989. On April 23, 1996, our name was changed to Java Group, Inc., which tried and failed to start a chain of coffee bars. On September 1, 2004, our name was changed to Consolidated General Corp., and under that name the company attempted to buy tier 2 and 3 professional sports teams, including the Vancouver Ravens lacrosse team and the San Diego Soccers soccer team. On August 7, 2007, our name was changed to Goldcorp Holdings Co. On October 15, 2010, our name was changed to GoldLand Holdings Co.
On March 22, 2016, the board of directors of the Registrant, pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, determined it was in the best interest of the Registrant that the name of the Registrant should be changed to Bravo Multinational Incorporated, to reflect its new business, which is the purchase and leasing of gaming equipment. The change of name was the to be effective upon compliance with all regulatory requirements mandated by FINRA. Further, as a result of the change of the Registrant's name the trading symbol for the shares of the Registrant's common stock has been changed to BRVO. Registrant's CUSIP identifier has been changed to 10568F109.
The Registrant filed a Form 8-K with the SEC on April 7, 2016, announcing the change of name, trading symbol, and CUSIP identifier.
On January 16, 2017, The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously approved an amendment to the Companys Articles of Incorporation in order to effect a plan of recapitalization that provides for a one-for-three hundred (1-for-300) reverse stock split of our common stock. Pursuant to written resolutions, the shareholders of the Company voted to approve the proposal to authorize the reverse split. The reverse stock split took effect, after filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The amended Articles of Incorporation increased the authorized shares to 1,050,000,000, consisting of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The common and preferred shares will have a par value of $.0001 per share. The preferred shares are blank check preferred. Registrant's CUSIP identifier has been changed to 10568F208.

Former Business
Over the years, and prior to our entry into the business of the leasing of gaming equipment as described below, we have been engaged in various businesses, including the leasing of mining claims. On September 14, 2007, we acquired an interest in 174.82 acres of land on War Eagle Mountain in Idaho from Bisell Investments Inc. and New Vision Financial Ltd., two of our then major stockholders, for a total of 90,000,000 shares of our common stock. We acquired a 100% interest in 103 acres, and a 29.167% interest in 76.63 acres, respectively. We also leased five placer claims on War Eagle Mountain from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (the BLM), each of which covered approximately 20 acres, or approximately 100 acres in total.
We currently own 76.63 acres within seven patented claims with a 29.167% ownership interest. We allowed all of our BLM unpatented and placer claims to expire. We may look to expand on our mining claim holdings in the future. Currently, the carrying value on such patented claims were fully impaired due to lack of economic viability of such properties.
For a complete discussion of the mining activities on our mining claims conducted by other parties, please see our previous Form 10-Ks, 10-Qs, and 8-Ks filed with the SEC. However it should be noted that we were not at any time a mining operator. As described above, the Company owns mining claims, but none of those claims are leased to a third party. Since the mining operations of our lessee no longer have any relevance to our new business of the leasing and selling of gaming equipment, we will only include financial information relating to revenues, expenses, and results of operations and other relevant information with respect to the former mining activities of the lessee of our mining properties.
Current Business
We are currently engaged in the business of leasing and selling gaming equipment. We, however, ceased operations in Nicaragua due to political and economic instabilities. We are planning to operate our business in the US and other more stable democracies in Latin America.
On September 19, 2013, Universal Equipment SAS, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire certain gaming equipment from Universal Entertainment SAS, Ltd., a corporation formed under the laws of the Country of Colombia, for 17,450,535 shares of our common stock (post reverse-split on March 6, 2014). The closing occurred on March 6, 2014. The gaming equipment included approximately 67 video poker and slot machines; eight blackjack and miscellaneous game tables, and related furniture and equipment; roulette table and related furniture and equipment; bingo equipment and furniture; casino chips, bill acceptors, coin counter and related equipment, and miscellaneous office equipment, like chairs and tables.
Upon closing of the acquisition of the gaming equipment, through our wholly owned subsidiary Universal Entertainment SAS, Inc. on March 6, 2014, we leased the gaming equipment to Vomblom & Pomare S.A., a company formed under the laws of the Country of Colombia, and controlled by Claudia Cifuentes Robles, pursuant to a lease agreement which provided for lease payments of $700,000 per year, payable in the amount of $58,333 per month, with a term of five years with one five year renewal option. The gaming equipment was to be used primarily in the operation of a casino that is owned and operated by the lessee on San Andres Isla, Colombia. However, some of the gaming equipment, such as video poker and slot machines, could have been placed in retail locations under agreements with the retail merchants to divide winnings from the machines.
-3-
The above referred to lease agreement was cancelled by Universal Equipment SAS, Inc., on June 18, 2015, due to non-payment of the lease payments. And, Universal Equipment SAS, Inc. ceased operations and the inventory of machines was subsequently written-off.
On May 4, 2016 the company closed an Equipment Purchase Contract agreement to purchase 500 gaming machines from Centro de Entretenimento y Diversion Mombacho S.A., a Nicaraguan corporation. The company then initiated a program to offer for retail sale individual gaming machines. The company engaged GameTouch LLC to oversee the promotion and sale of this equipment.
On May 30, 2017 the Company signed an agreement to purchase 100 additional gaming machines (as per the Equipment Purchase Contracts signed May 4, 2016) for a total new advance of 100 units in aggregate at a cost of $445,000 to be paid 50% in cash as a loan payable and 50% in common restricted stock.
On June 30, 2017 the Board of Directors agreed to provide financing for 6-month (due December 30, 2017) at 8% per annum for gaming equipment purchases by Rentcom, Inc. for a financed amount of $76,000. The note earns $3,040 in interest, which is due in one lump payment by December 30, 2017. The Loan is guaranteed by Douglas Brooks, Principal officer at Rentcom, Inc. (read Subsequent Event section).
On June 30, 2017 the Board of Directors agreed to provide financing for 6-month (due December 30, 2017) at 8% per annum for gaming equipment purchases by Investcom, Inc. for a financed amount of $152,000. This note earns $6,080 in interest, which is due in one lump payment by December 30, 2017. The loan is guaranteed by Paul Parliament Principal Officer at Investcom, Inc. (read Subsequent Event section).
On August 16, 2017 the Company completed an asset purchase for 300 slot and video poker machines, providing an immediate new revenue stream for Bravo. The contract is valued at $3,618,000. These 300 gaming machines were to become operational in numerous locations throughout Nicaragua. Management employed the services of Centro de Entretenimiento y Diversion Mombacho S.A., a Nicaraguan corporation, to manage the daily operations of the machines, and the Company pays Centro de Entretenimiento y Diversion Mombacho S.A. a 25% managment fee per machine based on the net win of gaming revenues per machine.
On August 18, 2017, the Company upgraded its shares to the QB trading platform on OTCMARKETS.COM (OTCQB.BRVO). The OTCQB trading platform allowed the Company to obtain greater market exposure as it initiates its next steps and advances the growth of the business.
On September 01, 2017, the Board of Directors issued a promissory note to Investcom, Inc. for $190,000 with interest at a rate of 8% per annum for gaming equipment purchases with the note plus interest to be paid back in full on or before December 30, 2017. Investcom, Inc. is an entity owned by Paul Parliament.

During October 2017 severe weather, hurricanes, rain and flooding occurred in Nicaragua where the company had its gaming machines operation. Lower tourism and local traffic due to these uncontrollable weather issues had an effect on the Companys machine revenues during the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company had purchased 300 gaming machines that were placed in casinos where they were producing a monthly revenue stream based on net wins of the each machine. Consequently, revenue and account receivable due on these machines cannot be collectable due to the social and economic conditions which prevailed after the storms. Currently, the country has economic and trade sanctions in place by the U.S. Government.
On or about the first week of December 2017, Centro de Entretenimiento y Diversion Mombacho S.A. and GameTouch, LLC notified management of serious issues throughout the Country of Nicaragua. Civil unrest started due to lack of simple social services, like electricity, running water and destroyed infrastructure from Hurricane Nate. The ever growing political and civil unrest affected the countrys economy, which had a direct effect on the gaming industry in Nicaragua. The dangerous situation throughout Nicaragua eliminated BRVO from operating its gaming interests, effectively. Subsequently, The US Government placed trade and financial sanctions on the Government of Nicaragua, which greatly affected BRVOs business practices in the Country (read Subsequent Event Section of the Filing).

Item 2. Properties.
We sub-leased 1,200 square feet of office space at 590 York Road, Unit 3, Niagara On The Lake, Ontario, CANADA L0S 1J0, from a Canadian company owned by Paul Parliament, our chairman and president, under a sub-lease that runs from April 10, 2015, to May 20, 2017, at a rate of $1,884 per month. This sub-lease was extended until December 31, 2017 and the monthly rental amount for the months of February 2017 through November 2017 were reduced to $942.00. We expect that we could locate other suitable facilities at comparable rates, should we need more space. In November 2018, the Company moved its offices to 2020 General Booth Blvd, Unit 230, Virginia Beach, VA 23454. Current rent expense is zero, since the Company is sharing office space at no cost with its Director and Acting CFO, Mr. Richard Kaiser.

A description of our mining properties is included in Item 1. Business and is incorporated herein by reference. We have written off the cost of the mining properties inasmuch as the value of any future revenue is unknown. We believe that we have satisfactory title to our mining properties, subject to liens for taxes not yet payable, liens incident to minor encumbrances, liens for credit arrangements and easements and restrictions that do not materially detract from the value of these properties, our interests in these properties, or the use of these properties in a business. We believe that the mining properties are adequate and suitable for the conduct of a mining business in the future.
Our mining claims are listed below:
Name | Ownership Interest | Type of Claim | Acres |
Poorman Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 3.44 |
London Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 17.52 |
North Empire Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 1.25 |
Illinois Central Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 2.85 |
South Poorman Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 20.57 |
Jackson Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 10.34 |
Oso Lode Claim | 29.167% | Patented | 20.66 |
A patented mining claim is one which the federal government has passed title to the claimant, making the claimant the owner of the surface and mineral rights. An unpatented mining claim is one which is still owned by the federal government, but which the claimant has a right to possession to extracted minerals, provided the land is open to mineral entry.

Reverse Stock Split
-16--
On January 16, 2017, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to effect a one-for-three hundred (1:300) reverse stock split. This reverse stock split became effective as of the close of business on January 16, 2017. The reverse stock split had no effect on the par value of its common stock and did not reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock but reduced the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock by the ratio. Accordingly, the issued and outstanding shares, stock options, net loss per share, and other per share disclosures for all periods presented have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the impact of this reverse stock split.
Going Concern
As of December 31, 2017, Bravo Multinational had an accumulated deficit of $27,938,281.
While we are attempting to generate revenues, our cash position may not be significant enough to support our daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of an offering of our securities. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement our business plan and generate revenues will improve the Company's operating results. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, we may not be successful. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our capability to further implement our business plan and generate revenues. This issue is addressed in footnote 4 to the finanical statements.
Year Ended December 31, 2017, compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2016
Revenues for the Companys year ended December 31, 2017 totaled $1,815,978 and for year ended December 31, 2016 totaled $741,845 from sales of its gaming machines. The increase of $1,031,820 as compared to the same period ending December 31, 2016 was attributed to increase in sales of the Companys gaming machines. No machines sales occurred during the 4th quarter ending December 31, 2017 in part due to the civil and governmental unrest throughout Nicaragua which caused the Company to suspend its gaming operations in this area.
Cost of Goods Sold for the year ending December 31, 2017 totaled $1,356,326 compared to $477,000 for year ended December 31, 2016. The $879,326 increase in cost of goods sold was due to increases in the number of gaming machines sold, 242 machines sold in 2017 compared to 106 machines sold in 2016, and depreciation cost $258,382 associated to the 300 machines owned by Bravo Multinational, Inc.
Gross margins in 2017 and 2016 were 25.3% and 35.7%, respectively, the decrease in 2017 was due the increases in gaming machine sold, 242 machines sold in 2017 compared to 106 machines sold in 2016. And, included in 2017 increase of cost of goods sold is $258,382 of depreciation from 300 machines purchased by the company to create income in the form of machine income.
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $459,652 as compared to gross profit for $264,845 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The $194,807 increase in gross profit for the period ended December 31, 2017 compared to year ended December 31, 2016 was due to an increase in gaming machine sales during 2017.
General and Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 totaled $597,484 compared to $157,884 for December 31, 2016, primarily due to increases in bad debt expense of $463,037.
Net Loss
-17-
Net loss for the year ending December 31, 2017 and 2016, $1,765,004 and $2,184,472, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
As of December 31, 2017, our assets totaled $474, which consisted of mainly cash and Property & Equipment- net of accumulative depreciation. The Companys total liabilities were $2,180,140 which consisted of accounts payable accrued expenses / fees and director loans. As of this date the Company had an accumulated deficit of $27,938,281 and working capital of deficit of $1,699,195.
As of December 31, 2016, our assets totaled $204,089, which consisted of mainly of prepaid expenses and inventory. The Companys total liabilities were $2,910,090 which consisted of accounts payable, accrued expenses / fees and director loans. As of this date the Company had an accumulated deficit of $26,173,277 and working capital of deficit of $2,539,314.
Our independent auditors, in their report on the financial statements, have indicated that the Companys significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As indicated herein, we need capital for the implementation of our business plan, and we will need additional capital for continuing our operations. We do not have sufficient revenues to pay our operating expenses at this time. Unless the company is able to raise working capital, it is likely that the Company will either have to cease operations or substantially change its methods of operations or change its business plan (See Note 4 in Financial Statements). For the next 12 months the Company has an oral commitment from its CEO to advance funds as necessary to meeting our operating requirement.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Bravo Multinational Incorporated does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company, or any of its subsidiaries operating results, financial position, or cash flow.
Accounting Principals
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and is evaluating any that may impact its financial statements, including those dealing with revenue recognition. The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), which was further updated in March, April, May and December 2016. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition." Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: (1) Identify the contract with a client; (2)Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) Recognize revenues when or as the company satisfies a performance obligation.
-18-
Subsequently, we adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018. Although the new revenue standard is expected to have an immaterial impact, if any, on our ongoing net income, we did implement changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
The financial statements and related notes are included as part of this report as indexed in the appendix on page F-1, et seq.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
During the last two fiscal years, we have had no disagreements with our accountants on accounting and financial disclosure. On April 12, 2017 the Board of Directors of Bravo Multinational Incorporated (the "Company") were notified of the resignation of Kappin Professional Corporation - Certified Public Accountants and Chartered Accountants, Toronto, Canada (Kappin) as the Company's independent accountants, effective immediately. Kappin was retained and the Company never filed with the SEC audited financial statements which used the opinion of Kappin. Following Kappin's resignation on April 12, 2017 the Board appointed the firm of BF Borges CPA PC, to serve as the Company's independent public accountants. On April 16, 2017, BF Borges CPA PC became the Company's new auditing firm. They are located in Colorado (see Form 8-K filed April 14, 2017).
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on our evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after considering the existence of material weaknesses identified, determined that our internal control over financial reporting disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2017.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors, and;
-19-
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.
We identified the following deficiencies which together constitute a material weakness in our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017:
·
The Company has inadequate segregation of duties within its cash disbursement control design.
·
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company internally performed all aspects of its financial reporting process, including, but not limited to the underlying accounting records and the recording of journal entries and for the preparation of financial statements. This process was deficient, because these duties were performed often times by the same people, and therefore a lack of review was created over the financial reporting process that might result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
·
The Company is continuing the process of remediating its control deficiencies. However, the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that has been identified will not be remediated until numerous internal controls are implemented and operate for a period of time, are tested, and the Company is able to conclude that such internal controls are operating effectively. The Company cannot provide assurance that these procedures will be successful in identifying material errors that may exist in the financial statements. The Company cannot make assurances that it will not identify additional material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in the future. Management plans, as capital becomes available to the Company, to increase the accounting and financial reporting staff and provide future investments in the continuing education and public company accounting training of our accounting and financial professionals.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control system, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this.annual report.
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting to ensure we maintain an effective internal control environment. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Committees of the Board
We currently have an Executive Committee of our board of directors which was established on March 24, 2015. However, we do not currently have an Audit, Finance, Compensation, or Nominating Committee, or any other committee of the board of directors. We have adopted a charter for the Executive Committee as well as charters for the other committees, in the event that we elect to implement them. Copies of the charters for each committee have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, we have posted copies of the charters for each committee on our website at www.bravomultinational.com. We will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of the charter for any of our committees. In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law concerning any amendments to our committees or their charters. Any such request should be directed to Mr. Richard Kaiser, our corporate secretary, at 3419 Virginia Beach Boulevard, Unit 252, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23452, telephone (757) 306-6090, or you may email Mr. Kaiser at info@bravomultinational.com. The information contained in our website shall not constitute part of this filing.
For the areas where we dont have committees, such responsibilities of these committees are fulfilled by our board of directors and all of our directors participate in such responsibilities, none of whom is independent as defined under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQs listing standards described below. Our financial constraints have made it extremely difficult to attract and retain qualified independent board members. Since we do not have any of the subject committees, other than our Executive Committee, our entire board of directors participates in all of the considerations with respect to our audit, finance, compensation, and nomination deliberations.
Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQs listing standards defines an independent director as a person other than an executive officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuers board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The following persons shall not be considered independent:
·
A director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the company;
·
A director who accepted or who has a Family Member who accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than the following: (i) compensation for board or board committee service; (ii) compensation paid to a Family Member who is an employee (other than as an executive officer) of the Company; or (iii) benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation. Provided, however, that in addition to the requirements contained in this paragraph, audit committee members are also subject to additional, more stringent requirements under NASDAQ Rule 4350(d).
·
A director who is a Family Member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company as an executive officer;
·
A director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a partner in, or a controlling stockholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed five percent of the recipients consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than the following: (i) payments arising solely from investments in the Companys securities; or (ii) payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs;
-22-
·
A director of the issuer who is, or has a Family Member who is, employed as an executive officer of another entity where at any time during the past three years any of the executive officers of the issuer serve on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
·
A director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a current partner of the Companys outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of Bravos outside auditor who worked on the Companys audit at any time during any of the past three years.
We hope to add qualified independent members of our board of directors at a later date, depending upon our ability to reach and maintain financial stability.
Executive Committee
In accordance with Article III of our Bylaws, our board of directors has established an Executive Committee which consists of members who have been appointed by the board of directors. The initial chairman of the Executive Committee was Paul Parliament. As a result of the Transaction, Mr. Parliament has agreed to resign his position with the Company, and he will be replaced in this position by Mr. Ferguson. Thereafter, the chairman of the Executive Committee shall be appointed by the members of the Executive Committee. The remaining member of the Executive Committee following the Transaction is Richard Kaiser. The members of the Executive Committee shall serve at the pleasure of the board of directors or until their successors shall be duly designated. Vacancies in the Executive Committee shall be filled by the board of directors.
During the intervals between the meetings of the board of directors, the Executive Committee shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the board of directors in the management of the business affairs of Bravo to the extent authorized by the resolution providing for the Executive Committee or by subsequent resolution adopted by a majority of the whole board of directors. This authorization is subject to the limitations imposed by law, the bylaws of Bravo Multinational Incorporated or the board of directors.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the Executive Committee held no formal meetings.
Audit Committee
-23-
The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the board when performing the functions of what would generally be performed by an audit committee. The board approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the board reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor. At the present time, Richard Kaiser, our chief financial officer is considered to be our expert in financial and accounting matters.
Nominating Committee
Our size and the size of our board, at this time, do not require a separate nominating committee. This function is performed by the entire board of directors. When evaluating director nominees, our directors consider the following factors:
·The appropriate size of our board of directors;
·Our needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our directors;
· The knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in finance, administration or public service, in light of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of the board;
·Experience in political affairs;
·Experience with accounting rules and practices; and
·The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new board members.
Our goal is to assemble a board that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience. In doing so, the board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.
-24-
Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the board may also consider such other factors as it may deem in our best interests as well as in the best interests of our stockholders. In addition, the board identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the board willing to continue in service. Current members of the board with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of the board does not wish to continue in service or if the board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the board then identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of the board are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above. The board may also engage in research to identify qualified individuals. To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although we reserve the right in the future to retain a third party search firm, if necessary. The board does not typically consider stockholder nominees because it believes that its current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve our best interests.
Finance Committee
Although we currently do not have a Finance Committee, we have adopted a charter which provides that when established it will oversee all areas of corporate finance for Bravo and its subsidiaries, including capital structure, equity and debt financings, capital expenditures, cash management, banking activities and relationships, investments, foreign exchange activities and share repurchase activities. The Finance Committee will consist of a minimum of three members of the board of directors, the majority of whom shall meet the same independence and experience requirements of the Audit Committee of Bravo and the applicable provisions of federal law and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the applicable rules of the OTC Market, the NASDAQ Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or any other exchange where the shares of Bravo may be listed or quoted for sale. The members of the Finance Committee are to be recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and are appointed by and serve at the discretion of the board of directors.
Compensation Committee
Although we currently do not have a Compensation Committee, we have adopted a charter which provides that when established it is to assist the board of directors in meeting its responsibilities with regard to oversight and determination of executive compensation and to review and make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to major compensation plans, policies and programs of Bravo. The Compensation Committee shall consist of not fewer than two members of the board of directors, with the exact number being determined by the board. Members of the Compensation Committee shall be appointed from time to time to serve in such capacity by the Board. Each member shall meet the independence and outside director requirements of applicable tax and securities laws and regulations and stock market rules.
Conflicts of Interest
-25-
With respect to transactions involving real or apparent conflicts of interest, we have adopted written policies and procedures, which are contained in our Corporate Governance Principles, and which require that:
·
The fact of the relationship or interest giving rise to the potential conflict be disclosed or known to the directors who authorize or approve the transaction prior to such authorization or approval;
·
The transaction to be approved by a majority of our disinterested directors; and
·
The transaction to be fair and reasonable to us at the time it is authorized or approved by our directors.
Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers
We have adopted an amended Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers that applies to our president, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, and all financial officers, including the principal accounting officer. The code provides as follows:

Each officer is responsible for full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in all periodic reports and financial disclosures required to be filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission or disclosed to our stockholders and/or the public.

·
Each officer shall promptly notify our general counsel, if any, or the president or chief executive officer as well as the audit committee of any information he may have concerning any violation of our Code of Business Conduct or our Code of Ethics, including any actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, involving any management or other employees who have a significant role in our financial reporting, disclosures or internal controls.
-26-
·
Each officer shall immediately bring to the attention of our general counsel, if any, the president or the chief executive officer and the audit committee any information he may have concerning evidence of a material violation of the securities or other laws, rules or regulations applicable to us and the operation of our business, by us or any of our agents.
·
Any waiver of this Code of Ethics for any officer must be approved, if at all, in advance by a majority of the independent directors serving on our board of directors. Any such waivers granted will be publicly disclosed in accordance with applicable rules, regulations and listing standards.
Code of Business Conduct
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct, which applies to Bravo and all of our subsidiaries, whereby we expect each employee to use sound judgment to help us maintain appropriate compliance procedures and to carry out our business in compliance with laws and high ethical standards. Each of our employees is expected to read our Code of Business Conduct and demonstrate personal commitment to the standards set forth in our Code of Business Conduct. Our officers and other supervising employees are expected to be leaders in demonstrating this personal commitment to the standards outlined in our Code of Business Conduct and recognizing indications of illegal or improper conduct. All employees are expected to report appropriately any indications of illegal or improper conduct. An employee who does not comply with the standards set forth in our Code of Business Conduct may be subject to discipline in light of the nature of the violation, including termination of employment.
Copies of our Corporate Governance Principles, our amended Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers, and our Code of Business Conduct have been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of our Corporate Governance Principles, our amended Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers, and our Code of Business Conduct. In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law concerning any amendments to our Corporate Governance Principles, our amended Code of Ethics for Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers, and our Code of Business Conduct. Any request for review of such documents should be directed to Mr. Richard Kaiser, our corporate secretary, at 3419 Virginia Beach Boulevard, Unit 252, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23452, telephone (757) 306-6090, or email him at info@bravomultinational.com. The information contained on our website shall not constitute part of this Information Statement.
Board of Directors Meetings

Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Summary of Cash and Certain Other Compensation
At present, Bravo Multinational has three executive officers. Beginning in March 2015, the compensation program for our executives consists of three key elements:
· A base salary;
· Additional compensation; and
· Periodic grants and/or options of our common stock.
Base Salary. Our executive officers receive compensation based on such factors as competitive industry salaries, a subjective assessment of the contribution and experience of the officer, and the specific recommendation by our board of directors.
Additional Compensation. Each of our officers receives additional compensation as provided in the officers employment agreement. All payments to officers must be approved by our board of directors or compensation committee based on the individual officers performance and company performance.
Stock Incentive. Stock grants and options are awarded to executive officers based on their positions and individual performance. Stock grants and options provide incentive for the creation of stockholder value over the long term and aid significantly in the recruitment and retention of executive officers. The board of directors or compensation committee considers the recommendations of the chief executive officer for stock grants and options to executive officers (other than the chief executive officer) and approves, disapproves or modifies such recommendation. Stock grants and options for our executive officers will be recommended and approved by our board of directors. See Market Price of and Dividends on our Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters - Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans.

Section 16A Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
In October, 2017 Mr. Paul Parliament, the then President and a Director of the Company, filed a Form 5 which revealed that he failed to timely file with the SEC a Form 4 beneficial report on 2 occasions relating to 3 transactions. In addition, it appears that Mr. Parliament violated the short swing profit rules by buying and selling stock of the Company during 2017 within a 6 month period. As a result the Company penalized Mr. Parliament by withholding compensation that was due to Mr. Parliament in the amount of profit he earned on those trades - i.e. $4,247.
Subsequently, on November 19, 2019, Mr. Parliament resigned his positions with the Company and he is no longer an officer or director of the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Bravo Multinational Incorporated:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bravo Multinational Incorporated and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the related statements of operations, changes in equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bravo Multinational Incorporated and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Companys cash position may not be significant enough to support the Companys daily operations. These factors 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 4. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has significant transactions and relationships with related parties, including entities controlled by the Companys Chief Executive Officer and by the Companys major shareholder and directors, which are described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist.

NOTE 1 Organization & Description of Business
Bravo Multinational Corporation (the Company, we or us) was originally formed as Montrose Ventures, Inc. in the State of Delaware on May 25, 1989. On April 23, 1996, the Companys name was changed to Java Group, Inc., and on September 1, 2004 the name was changed to Consolidated General Corp. On August 7, 2007, the companys name was changed to GoldCorp Holdings Co. On October 15, 2010, our name was changed to GoldLand Holdings Co. On April 6, 2016, we changed our corporate name to Bravo Multinational Incorporated. On March 22, 2016, the board of directors of the company, pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, determined it was in the best interests of the company that the name of the company should be changed to Bravo Multinational Incorporated, with such change of name to be effective upon compliance with all regulatory requirements mandated by FINRA. Further, as a result of the change of the companys name and upon satisfaction of all regulatory requirements, the trading symbol for the shares of the companys common stock should be changed to BRVO, and the companys CUSIP identifier be changed to a newly issued number. FINRA granted its approval of the change of the companys name on April 6, 2016. As a result of the change of name of the company, the companys trading symbol was changed to BRVO and the CUSIP identifier was changed to 10568F109.
The Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC on April 7, 2016, announcing the change of name, trading symbol, and CUSIP identifier.
The Company owns land and lease claims on War Eagle Mountain in the state of Idaho. The Company has entered into a lease agreement with Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (SFMI) under which SFMI is entitled to mine the land and the Company is entitled to a 15% net royalty on all minerals extracted by SFMI from tailing piles on the premises or through shafts or adits located on the premises. The lease agreement was deferred for a two year period, 2014 and 2015, so that SFMI could restructure is finances. The company has now determined that SFMI is unable to pay the lease and that any debt owing by SFMI to the company is not recoverable. The carrying value on such claims both patented and unpatented was fully impaired due to lack of economic viabilities of such properties.
The Company is currently engaged in the business of buying and reselling gaming equipment for use in Nicaragua. The Company also buys machines for its own use that are placed in casinos or gaming areas within Nicaragua to obtain monthly revenue streams from the machines net win revenue.
On May 4, 2016 the company entered into an agreement to purchase 500 gaming machines from Centro de Entretenimiento y Diversion Mombacho S.A., a Nicaraguan corporation, a company owned by our consultant and major shareholder, Julios Kosta. On May 6, 2016 the transaction closed and an initial purchase of 150 gaming machines was completed, with the balance of machines to be purchased over approximately 18 months, prior to December 31, 2017.

NOTE 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bravo Multinational Incorporated, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Universal Entertainment SAS, Ltd., (the Company). All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation. As of December 31, 2017, management recognized that Universal is an inactive Florida corporation which no longer operates.
Method of Accounting
The Companys consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents may include time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions located in the United States, which periodically may exceed federally insured amounts.

NOTE 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Inventory
The Company calculates inventory utilizing the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) valued at at the individually identified cost per machine. If the estimated net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, and is lower than its cost, the inventory item is written down to its estimated net realizable value, which is valued at each reporting period. Provisions for inventory write-downs are included in cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Once written down, inventories are carried at this lower cost basis until sold or scrapped. Due to civil unrest and the devastation of Hurricane Nate in Nicaragua in October 2017, the Company wrote off the remaining two (2) machines that were held in inventory on December 31, 2017 in the amount of $9,000. At December 31, 2017 and 2016 there were -0- and 44 gaming machines in inventory valued at $-0- and $198,000, respectively.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock are computed in accordance with FASB ASC 260 Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible securities, if dilutive. Common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive are excluded from both diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding and diluted earnings (loss) per share.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company has issued and may issue stock in lieu of cash for certain transactions. The fair value of the stock, which is based on comparable cash purchases, third party fair values of shares or the value of services, whichever is more readily determinable, is used to value the transaction.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value.
We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
· Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
· Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
· Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, inventory, notes payable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities approximate fair value given their short term nature or effective interest rates. We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales or services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Gaming machine revenue is the net win from gaming machines which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Revenue is recognized at month end when the gaming win/loss is calculated. This revenue is reported as machine income in the accompanying financial statements at December 31, 2017.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Computer equipment is depreciated on the straight-line method over five (5) years. Equipment used to generate revenues is depreciated on the straight-line method over seven (7) years and is included in cost of sales. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred.
License Rights
The license was being amortized using the straight-line method over its economic life, which was estimated to be fifteen (15) years. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, amortization expense was $-0- and $5,000, respectively. At December 31, 2016 the net value of the license rights of $295,000 were determined to be impaired. The rights were impaired due to the inability in Columbia, to be able to obtain gaming licenses.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Management evaluates the Companys long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, that consist of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, for indicators of possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment exists if the carrying amounts of such assets exceed the estimates of future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. Should impairment exist, the impairment loss would be measured based on the excess carrying amount of the asset over the estimated fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisers, as considered necessary.
During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized impairment of license rights in the amount of $-0- and $295,000, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported consolidated financial statements.

BRAVO MULTINATIONAL INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3 Recently Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
On January 1, 2018, the Company will adopt the new revenue recognition standard ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), using the cumulative effect (modified retrospective) approach. Modified retrospective adoption requires entities to apply the standard retrospectively to the most current period presented in the financial statements, requiring the cumulative effect of the retrospective application as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application. No cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings will be recorded at adoption of ASU 2014-09 as adoption will not significantly impact the Companys reported historical revenue. Revenue from substantially all of our contracts with customers continues to be recognized over time as services are rendered. The Company expects the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be immaterial to the Companys consolidated financial statements and on an ongoing basis.
NOTE 4 Going Concern
The Companys consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has reported recurring losses from operations. As a result, there is an accumulated deficit of at December 31, 2017.
The Company has begun to generate income from its sales of inventory of gaming equipment and anticipates that this income may sufficiently support the ongoing operating expenses of the Company going forward.
While the Company is attempting to continue operations and generate revenues, the Companys cash position may not be significant enough to support the Companys daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement the Companys business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Companys ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.
NOTE 5 Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consisted of the following at December 31, 2017 and 2016:
December 31, | 2017 | 2016 |
Accounts Receivable | $ 42,312 | $ |
Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | (42,312) | |
Net Accounts Receivable | $ | $ |
Due to civil unrest and the devastation of Hurricane Nate in Nicaragua in October 2017, the Company wrote off the machine income that was in accounts receivable on December 31, 2017 in the amount of $42,312. There was no additional machine income recognized during the quarter ended December 31, 2017.
The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in the amount of $42,312 was collected but it remains in Nicaragua because of the political instability, social unrest, and US Government's trade and economic sanctions; no transfer of funds to the US can be done at this time. Since these issues have yet to be resolved both domestically and internationally with Nicaragua, the $42,312 amount has not been paid in the US and has been written-off. Since the revenue was earned and collected in Nicaragua, the revenue remains recognized as an account receivable.
