NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Business

ACRT (“the Company’s TurnScor® and CyberloQ™ products”, “We” or the “Company”) is a development-stage technology company focused on fraud prevention and credit management. The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 25, 2008.

The Company offers a proprietary software platform branded as CyberloQ™ . While previously the Company licensed CyberloQ, in the third quarter of 2017, the Company acquired the CyberloQ technology and is now the exclusive owner of CyberloQ.

CyberloQ is a banking fraud prevention technology that is offered to institutional clients in order to combat fraudulent transactions and unauthorized access to customer accounts. Through the use of a customer’s smart-phone, CyberloQ uses a multi-factor authentication system to control access to a bank card, transaction type or amount, website, database or digital service. The mobile applications for CyberloQ have been built, and the Company is currently beta-testing the technology in the banking ecosystem.

In addition to CyberloQ, the Company offers a web-based proprietary software platform under the brand name Turnscor® which allows customers to monitor and manage their credit from the privacy of their own homes. Although individuals can sign-up for Turnscor on their own, the Company also intends to market Turnscor to certain institutional clients, where appropriate, in conjunction with CyberloQ as a value-added benefit to offer their customers.

On March 30, 2017 the Company entered into an Agreement with Swiss Venture Trust, a subsidiary of XCELL Security House, S.A. of Lausanne, Switzerland whose President, Lynnwood Farr, is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The equity exchange and revenue sharing agreements entered into between the two companies are currently in the process of being renegotiated, and the renegotiated terms of such contracts will be disclosed when finalized.

On June 15, 2017, the Company created a private limited company in the United Kingdom named CyberloQ Technologies LTD. CyberloQ Technologies LTD is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and any business that the Company has in Europe will be transacted through CyberloQ Technologies LTD. However, to date CyberloQ Technologies LTD has not had any operating activity or generated any revenue for the Company.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in U.S. dollars. The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Principles of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned or controlled operating subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassification 

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform previously reported data to the current presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on our net income (loss) or financial position as previously reported.

Use of Estimates 

In preparing these financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the year reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits.

Research and Development, Software Development Costs, and Internal Use Software Development Costs

Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic No. 985. Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable. For products where proven technology exists, this may occur very early in the development cycle. Factors we consider in determining when technological feasibility has been established include (i) whether a proven technology exists; (ii) the quality and experience levels of the individuals developing the software; (iii) whether the software is similar to previously developed software which has used the same or similar technology; and (iv) whether the software is being developed with a proven underlying engine. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Capitalized costs for those products that are canceled or abandoned are charged immediately to cost of sales. The recoverability of capitalized software development costs is evaluated on the expected performance of the specific products for which the costs relate.

Internal use software development costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic No. 350 which requires the capitalization of certain external and internal computer software costs incurred during the application development stage. The application development stage is characterized by software design and configuration activities, coding, testing and installation. Training costs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, while upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if it is probable that such expenditures will result in additional functionality.

In accounting for website software development costs, we have adopted the provisions of ASC Topic No. 350. ASC Topic No. 350 provides that certain planning and training costs incurred in the development of website software be expensed as incurred, while application development stage costs are to be capitalized. During the periods ending September 30, 2018 and 2017, we expensed $27,092 and $0 in expenditures on research and development, respectively. Of the $27,092 paid in 2018, none was paid to related parties.

Fixed Assets, Intangibles and Long-Lived Assets

The Company records its fixed assets at historical cost. The Company expenses maintenance and repairs as incurred. Upon disposition of fixed assets, the gross cost and accumulated depreciation are written off and the difference between the proceeds and the net book value is recorded as a gain or loss on sale of assets. The Company depreciates its fixed assets over their respective estimated useful lives ranging from three to fifteen years.

The Company follows FASB ASC 360-10, "Property, Plant, and Equipment," which established a "primary asset" approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. For the periods ending September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets.

Revenue Recognition  

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the requirements of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09 or ASC 606). The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in changes to the Company’s accounting policies for revenue recognition previously recognized under ASC 605 (Legacy GAAP), as detailed below.

Revenue Recognition Policy

Under ASC 606 the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. To achieve the core principle of ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps  :

1)    Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

2)    Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

3)    Determine the transaction price;

4)    Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

5)    Recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.

The Company derives its revenue from two sources: (1) subscription revenues, which are comprised of subscription fees from customers accessing the Company’s TurnScor® and CyberloQ™ products and from customers purchasing additional support beyond the standard support that is included in the basic subscription fees; and (2) related professional services and other revenue, which consists primarily of services related to development, set-up, ingestion, consulting and training fees. The Company’s subscription arrangements provide customers the right to access the Company’s hosted software applications. Customers do not have the right to take possession of the Company’s software during the hosting arrangement.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company has a contract asset of $35,000 as a receivable amount from a customer’s non-refundable service contract, as well as a contract liability of $35,000 to perform on that contract. Note that a contract liability of $10,833 currently exists on the balance sheet related to the same contract, but no contract asset is related to that portion.

Fair Value Measurements 

For certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, interest payable, advances payable and notes payable, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. 

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 820-10, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows: 

·         Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

·         Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

·         Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. 

The Company did not identify any other non-recurring assets and liabilities that are required to be presented in the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC 815. 

In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," now known as ASC Topic 825-10 "Financial Instruments." ASC Topic 825-10 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. FASB ASC 825-10 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company has adopted FASB ASC 825-10. The Company chose not to elect the option to measure the fair value of eligible financial assets and liabilities. 

Segment Reporting 

FASB ASC 280, "Segment Reporting" requires use of the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company determined it has one operating segment. 

Income Taxes 

Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, and deferred tax liabilities are

recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all-of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.   

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Applicable interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statements of operations. The Company is not aware of uncertain tax positions. 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share 

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the FASB ASC 260-10, "Earnings Per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. 

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the Company has 1,125,000 and 1,750,000 warrants as well as 1,000,000 and 0 options, issued (respectively) that can be exercised and could be dilutive to the existing number of shares issued and outstanding. However, due to the Company’s periods of losses, the basic weighted average is equal to the diluted weighted average shares outstanding .

The computation of earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements. 

Stock Based Compensation 

The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (formerly SFAS 123R), which establishes the use of the fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements under which compensation cost is determined using the fair value of stock-based compensation determined as of the date of grant and is recognized over the periods in which the related services are rendered.  For stock-based compensation the Company recognizes an expense in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and values the equity securities based on the fair value of the security on the date of grant.  Stock option awards are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  

In accordance with ASC Topic 505, the Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees where the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or (b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements  

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments expand the scope of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and to supersede the guidance in ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The accounting for nonemployee awards will now be substantially the same as current guidance for employee awards. ASU 2018-07 impacts all entities that issue awards to nonemployees in exchange for goods or services to be used or consumed in the grantor’s own operations, as well as to nonemployees of an equity method investee that provide goods or services to the investee that are used or consumed in the investee’s operations. ASU 2018-07 aligns the measurement-date guidance for employee and nonemployee awards using the current employee model, meaning that the measurement date for nonemployee equity-classified awards generally will be the grant date, while liability-classified awards generally will be the settlement date. ASU 2018-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is considering the effect of this adoption to its financial reports.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which revises the accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The ASU also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The new guidance requires the fair value measurement of investments in equity securities and other ownership interests in an entity, including investments in partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and limited liability companies (collectively, equity securities) that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method. Entities will need to measure these investments and recognize changes in fair value in net income. Entities will no longer be able to recognize unrealized holding gains and losses on equity securities they classify under current guidance as available for sale in other comprehensive income (OCI). They also will no longer be able to use the cost method of accounting for equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values. Instead, for these types of equity investments that do not otherwise qualify for the net asset value practical expedient, entities will be permitted to elect a practicability exception and measure the investment at cost less impairment plus or minus observable price changes (in orderly transactions). The ASU also establishes an incremental recognition and disclosure requirement related to the presentation of fair value changes of financial liabilities for which the fair value option (FVO) has been elected. Under this guidance, an entity would be required to separately present in OCI the portion of the total fair value change attributable to instrument-specific credit risk as opposed to reflecting the entire amount in earnings. For derivative liabilities for which the FVO has been elected, however, any changes in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk would continue to be presented in net income, which is consistent with current guidance. For the Company, this standard is effective beginning January 1, 2018 via a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings, except for guidance relative to equity securities without readily determinable fair values which is applied prospectively. This adoption has not affected the financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”. The amendments in this ASU are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by amending certain existing illustrative examples and adding additional illustrative examples to assist in the application of the guidance. The effective date and transition of these amendments is the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. Public entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein. The Company has adopted this standard and is reporting gross revenue and agent considerations as separate line items upon revenue receipt.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which modifies certain accounting aspects for share-based payments to employees including, among other elements, the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures, as well as classifications in the statement of cash flows. With respect to income taxes, under current guidance, when a share-based payment award such as a stock option or restricted stock

unit (RSU) is granted to an employee, the fair value of the award is generally recognized over the vesting period. However, the related deduction from taxes payable is based on the award’s intrinsic value at the time of exercise (for an option) or on the fair value upon vesting of the award (for RSUs), which can be either greater (creating an excess tax benefit) or less (creating a tax deficiency) than the compensation cost recognized in the financial statements. Excess tax benefits are recognized in additional paid-in capital (APIC) within equity, and tax deficiencies are similarly recognized in APIC to the extent there is a sufficient APIC amount (APIC pool) related to previously recognized excess tax benefits. Under the new guidance, all excess tax benefits/deficiencies would be recognized as income tax benefit/expense in the statement of income. The new ASU’s income tax aspects also impact the calculation of diluted earnings per share by excluding excess tax benefits/deficiencies from the calculation of assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares under the treasury stock method. Relative to forfeitures, the new standard allows an entity-wide accounting policy election either to continue to estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited or to account for forfeitures as they occur. The new guidance also impacts classifications within the statement of cash flows by no longer requiring inclusion of excess tax benefits as both a hypothetical cash outflow within cash flows from operating activities and hypothetical cash inflow within cash flows from financing activities. Instead, excess tax benefits would be classified in operating activities in the same manner as other cash flows related to income taxes. Additionally, the new ASU requires cash payments to tax authorities when an employer uses a net-settlement feature to withhold shares to meet statutory tax withholding provisions to be presented as financing activity (eliminating previous diversity in practice). For the Company, this standard was adopted effective January 1, 2017, and has had no accounting effect to date. 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard provides guidance in a number of situations including, among others, settlement of zero-coupon bonds, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and distributions received from equity method investees. The ASU also provides guidance for classifying cash receipts and payments that have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. For the Company, this ASU is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The standard requires application using a retrospective transition method. The Company has adopted this standard however, currently this ASU has no impact on its results of operations and financial condition.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which clarifies guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. Under the ASU, changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents would be included along with those of cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities would no longer present transfers between cash/equivalents and restricted cash/equivalents in the statement of cash flows. In addition, a reconciliation between the balance sheet and the statement of cash flows would be disclosed when the balance sheet includes more than one line item for cash/equivalents and restricted cash/equivalents. For the Company, this ASU is effective January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to apply the standard’s provisions on a retrospective basis. The Company has adopted this standard and this ASU has neither a retrospective nor current material impact on the Company’s condensed results of operations and financial condition, as the Company has no restricted cash. 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The Company has incurred losses since Inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $3,456,875 as of September 30, 2018 that includes a loss of $559,990 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and, or, obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management's efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern. 

NOTE 3 – STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT    

Common Stock 

The Company has 100,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock authorized as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. 

The Company has an agreement to issue 3,333,333 common shares for $300,000 during the fiscal year 2018. Currently, the Company has collected $100,000 towards that agreement, and is disclosing that amount and the related 1,111,111 common shares as “To be Issued”. Once the remaining $200,000 is collected, the Company will issue the entire 3,333,333 common shares. This is anticipated to happen before December 31, 2018.

During the first nine months of 2018, the Company received $322,000 in payment for 3,203,334 shares of common stock; received $83,300 in services for 435,000 shares of common stock. Also during the same period, the Company issued 60,000 shares of common stock in payment of $6,000 of accrued legal fees, recognizing a loss on settlement of debt of $12,000; and a conversion of $12,000 of debt into 150,000 shares, these shares were previously recorded as “Shares to be Issued” in the Balance Sheet. There were 65,830,515 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the period end.

In 2017, the Company received $700,850 in payment for 12,677,000 shares of common stock. Also in 2017, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock to acquire the Cyberloq™ technology, and 350,000 shares of common stock were issued as compensation for services. Furthermore, the company issued 500,000 shares of common stock for the conversion of debt. There were 61,982,181 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2017. 

Preferred Stock

Company History

Advanced Credit Technologies Inc. (“ACRT”, ‘We” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on February 5, 2008. The Company has never been the subject of any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding. The Company has never been involved in any material reclassification, merger, or consolidation.

On June 15, 2017, the Company created a private limited company in the United Kingdom named CyberloQ Technologies LTD. CyberloQ Technologies LTD is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and any business that the Company has in Europe will be transacted through CyberloQ Technologies LTD. However, to date CyberloQ Technologies LTD has not had any operating activity or generated any revenue for the Company.

Current Overview of the Company

ACRT is a development-stage technology company focused on fraud prevention and credit management.

The Company offers a proprietary software platform branded as CyberloQ™. While previously the Company licensed CyberloQ, in the third quarter of 2017, the Company acquired the CyberloQ technology and is now the exclusive owner of CyberloQ.

CyberloQ is a banking fraud prevention technology that is offered to institutional clients in order to combat fraudulent transactions and unauthorized access to customer accounts. Through the use of a customer’s smart-phone, CyberloQ uses a multi-factor authentication system to control access to a bank card, transaction type or amount, website, database or digital service. The mobile applications for CyberloQ have been built, and the Company is currently beta-testing the technology in the banking ecosystem.

In addition to CyberloQ, the Company offers a web-based proprietary software platform under the brand name Turnscor® which allows customers to monitor and manage their credit from the privacy of their own homes. Although individuals can sign-up for Turnscor on their own, the Company also intends to market Turnscor to certain institutional clients, where appropriate, in conjunction with CyberloQ as a value-added benefit to offer their customers.

The Company has developed another 'use case' with the development of (www.cyberloqvault.com). Statistically speaking, most instances of 'wire fraud' occur with e-mail addresses being compromised or hacked, sensitive information contained therein is then used by hackers for nefarious financial gain. The CyberloQ Vault eliminates the use of e-mail from both the sender/receiver and encrypts the DATA in the cloud, both the sender/receiver have to have access to CyberloQ in order to send/receive the sensitive DATA

On March 30, 2017 the Company entered into an Agreement with Swiss Venture Trust, a subsidiary of XCELL Security House, S.A. of Lausanne, Switzerland whose President, Lynnwood Farr, is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The equity exchange and revenue sharing agreements entered into between the two companies are currently in the process of being renegotiated, and the renegotiated terms of such contracts will be disclosed when finalized.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Material Changes in Financial Condition

As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s assets were $626,270 compared to $799,527 in assets as of December 31, 2017. The change in the Company’s financial condition can be attributed to $90,037 in depreciation expense which reduced the Company’s long-lived assets from $670,728 to $580,692, as well as payment of professional fees, officer compensation and other business expenses.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s liabilities were $71,870 compared to $205,128 in liabilities as of December 31, 2017. This change in the Company’s financial condition was due to a decrease in loans from related parties from $145,000 to $0 and a decrease in loans payable to stockholders from $50,000 to $45,000, but was partially offset by an increase of $5,705 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, an increase of $10,833 in customer prepayments and an increase of $204 in accrued expenses to a related party.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine month period ending September 30, 2018 was $339,221 compared to net cash used in operating activities for the nine month period ending September 30, 2017 of $397,923. Cash provided by or used

by operating activities is driven by our net loss and adjusted by non-cash items as well as changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 include loss on settlement of debt of $12,000, depreciation of $90,037, stock compensation of $355,623, stock issued for accounts payable of $6,000 and stock issued for retirement of debt of $12,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $272,000 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2018 as opposed to $465,000 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2017.

The Company only had gross revenue of $4,166 in the third quarter of 2018 and is currently reliant on its ability to raise additional capital to continue execution of its business plan to move the Company forward towards profitability. The Company does not anticipate any significant decrease in its operating expenses for the remainder of 2018. Unless the Company begins to generate operation revenue, it will be reliant on its ability to raise additional capital in order to continue its operations.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

For the first time this year, the Company generated revenue. Company revenue was $4,166 in the three months ended September 30, 2018 as opposed to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. However, the Company’s operating expenses were $477,553 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as opposed to $163,987 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the following factors.

The Company had stock compensation expense of $296,120 for the three month period ended September 30, 2018, while there was $0.00 stock compensation expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2017. This increase in stock compensation expense was primarily the result of an accrual adjustment for prior period issuances of stock options to an independent contractor of the Company.

The Company had a depreciation expense of $30,012 during the three month period ending September 30, 2018 compared to $20,008 for the three month period ended September 30, 2017. This increase in depreciation was as a result of the fact that the Company’s acquired the CyberloQ™ technology in the third quarter of 2017 and therefore the depreciation only covered part of that quarter in 2017.

The Company had officer compensation expense of $83,000 during the three month period ending September 30, 2018 compared to $45,500 for the three month period ended September 30, 2017. This increase in officer compensation was as a result of one-time bonuses paid to certain officers of the Company.

The Company had office supplies and expenses of $21,137 during the three month period ended September 30, 2018 as opposed to $1,786 during the three month period ended September 30, 2017. This increase in office supplies and expenses was due to one-time write-off of uncollectable advanced commissions.

The foregoing increases in operating expenses were partially offset by a decrease in travel and entertainment expenses. The Company paid travel and entertainment expenses of $8,169 during the three month period ended September 30, 2018 as opposed to $46,214 during the three month period ended September 30, 2017. This decrease in travel and entertainment expenses was due to decreased business travel during the quarter.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company experienced a net loss from operations of $473,387 in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a net loss from operations of $163,987 in the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

There was a slight change in Company revenue for the first nine months of 2018 as compared to the first nine months of 2017. Company revenue was $4,166 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, while it was $0 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The Company’s operating expenses were $823,073 for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 as opposed to $414,204 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the following factors.

The Company had stock compensation expense of $355,623 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, while there was $0.00 stock compensation expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017. This increase in stock

compensation expense was primarily the result of an accrual adjustment for prior period issuances of stock options to an independent contractor of the Company.

The Company had a depreciation expense of $90,037 during the nine month period ending September 30, 2018 compared to $20,008 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017. This increase in depreciation was as a result of the fact that the Company’s acquired the CyberloQ™ technology in the third quarter of 2017 and therefore the depreciation only covered part of 2017.

The Company had office supplies and expenses of $24,456 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 as opposed to $6,320 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017. This increase in office supplies and expenses was due to one-time write-off of uncollectable advanced commissions.

The Company paid other operating expenses of $17,183 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 as opposed to $1,534 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017. This increase in other operating expenses was due to one-time expenses related to the updating of the Company’s website and one-time expenses associated with the integration of the CyberloQ™ technology with the mobile platform app stores.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company experienced a net loss from operations of $823,073 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a net loss from operations of $414,204 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company as defined by §229.10(f)(1) and therefore is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Such officer also confirmed that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings or any administrative proceedings.

In addition, ACRT’s officers and directors have not been convicted in any criminal proceedings nor have they been permanently or temporarily enjoined, barred, suspended or otherwise limited from involvement in any type of securities or banking activities.

The Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company as defined by §229.10(f)(1) and therefore is not required to provide the information required by this Item. However, the Company does acknowledge that there are risks associated with the business of the Company. We will be competing with a variety of companies, many of which have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us. If we fail to attract and retain a large base of customers for our products, or if our competitors establish a more prominent market position relative to ours, this will inhibit our ability to grow and successfully execute our business plan. For example, Wells Fargo has introduced an "on/off” feature for their customers, Discover Card has “Freeze It” functionality, and Ondot Systems has already been operating in the mobile card security space for quite some time. However, the Company believes that the multi-purpose functionality of CyberloQ, along with its multi-purpose applications will give the Company a distinct advantage by comparison. CyberloQ can be used in the banking system to protect debit/credit cards, in the Health Care industry to protect PII ( Personal Identifying Information ) now that medical records are kept digitally, and can protect corporate data bases in any industry from outside intrusion via geo-fencing. The Company believes that these distinct features, along with the ability to “White Label” the technology for marketing partners, give the Company a distinction in the marketplace. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete with other companies in the marketplace.

During the first nine months of 2018, the Company raised $422,000 for the operations of the Company through the unregistered sale of 4,314,445 shares of restricted common stock. 

During the first nine months of 2018, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock in full satisfaction of all principal and interest due pursuant to a note as per a December 2017 agreement.

All of the shares described above were issued by the Company in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(2). All of the purchasers of the unregistered securities were all known to us and our management, through pre-existing business relationships, as long standing business associates, friends, and employees. All purchasers were provided access to all public material information, which they requested, and all information necessary to verify such information and were afforded access to our management in connection with their purchases. All purchasers of the unregistered securities acquired such securities for investment and not with a view toward distribution, acknowledging such intent to us. All certificates or agreements representing such securities that were issued contained restrictive legends, prohibiting further transfer of the certificates or agreements representing such securities, without such securities either being first registered or otherwise exempt from registration in any further resale or disposition.

The Company is not in default on any financing arrangements at this time.

There exists no information required to be disclosed by us in a report on Form 8-K during the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, but not reported.

Exhibits have been filed separately with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the quarterly report on Form 10-Q or have been incorporated into the report by reference.
