AppCoin Innovations Inc. (formerly RedStone Literary Agents, Inc.)
Notes to Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
As of September 30, 2017 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
AppCoin Innovations Inc. (formerly RedStone Literary Agents, Inc.)(the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of State of Nevada, U.S. on July 20, 2010, with an authorized capital of 75,000,000 common shares, having a par value of $0.001 per share. During the period ended December 31, 2010, the Company commenced operations by issuing shares and developing its publishing service business, focused on representing authors to publishers.
In November 2014, Ms. Wolf resigned as a director of the Company and the Company ceased pursuing the publishing service business.
On August 1, 2017, the Company incorporated a Nevada subsidiary, AppCoin Innovations (USA) Inc., which will be used to operate the Company’s new business of providing services for blockchain initial coin offerings.
On August 17, 2017, the Company, Redstone Literary Agents, Inc., completed a merger with its wholly owned subsidiary AppCoin Innovations Inc., a Nevada corporation to effect a change in the Company’s name from “RedStone Literary Agents, Inc.” to “AppCoin Innovations Inc.”.
The Company’s new business is a services and development business that provides a turnkey set of services for companies to develop and integrate blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies with a view to conducting initial coin offerings. The Company will enable its customers to focus on their core competencies while providing the necessary resources and expertise to execute a strategy that will enable companies to integrate new blockchain plus cryptocurrency technologies and execute initial coin offerings. The Company’s plan is to be partially compensated by these companies by receiving tokens or coins in the initial coin offerings. This will allow the Company’s shareholders to indirectly participate in multiple initial coin offerings without having to open new accounts or electronic wallets with cryptocurrency exchanges.
The Company’s services will include strategic planning, project planning, structure development and administration, campaign management, business plan modelling, technology development support, whitepaper preparation, due diligence reporting, escrow management, governance planning and management.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $348,973 as at September 30, 2017 and further losses are anticipated in the pursuit of the Company’s new service business opportunity, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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 intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from directors and/or the private placement of common stock.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016 and notes thereto contained in the information as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 23, 2017.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
At September 30, 2017, a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset has been recorded.
Earnings per Share
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 105, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
With the exception of the convertible notes payable discussed in Note 3, the Company had no potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments issued or outstanding during the interim three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Corporate Overview

Upon the resignation of Mary Wolf as an officer of our company on August 28, 2014, we ceased pursuing the business of representing authors to publishers and sought new business opportunities.
In July 2017, we decided to operate a new business of providing services for blockchain initial coin offerings and incorporated a Nevada subsidiary, AppCoin Innovations (USA) Inc. on August 1, 2017.
Effective August 17, 2017, we completed a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, AppCoin Innovations Inc., a Nevada corporation, which was incorporated solely to effect a change in our name. As a result, we have changed our name from “Redstone Literary Agents, Inc.” to “AppCoin Innovations Inc.”.
On August 21, 2017, we appointed Cameron Chell as the president and a director of our company. On the same date, James P. Geiskopf resigned as the president of our company.

The principal offices of our company are located at 561 Indiana Court, Venice Beach, CA 90291. Our telephone number is 310.658.4413.
Our Current Business
On August 1, 2017, we incorporated a Nevada subsidiary, AppCoin Innovations (USA) Inc., which will be used to operate our new business of providing services for blockchain initial coin offerings.
Our new business is a services and development business that provides a turnkey set of services for companies to develop and integrate blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies with a view to conducting initial coin offerings. We enable companies to focus on their core competencies while providing the necessary resources and expertise to execute a strategy that will enable companies to integrate new blockchain plus cryptocurrency technologies and execute initial coin offerings. Our plan is to be partially compensated by these companies by receiving tokens or coins in the initial coin offerings. This will allow our shareholders to indirectly participate in multiple initial coin offerings without having to open new accounts or electronic wallets with cryptocurrency exchanges.

Blockchain is a continuously growing list of records called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block contains typically a hash pointer as a link to a previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. By design, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification of the data. Functionally, a blockchain can serve as an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way. For use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for validating new blocks. Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks and a collusion of the network majority.
Blockchains are secure by design and are an example of a distributed computing system and decentralization can be achieved with a blockchain. This makes blockchains potentially suitable for the recording of events, medical records and other records management activities, such as identity management, documenting provenance, digital asset registration and transaction processing.
Initial coin offerings are an important new finance structure that enable companies to finance their business plans or projects without issuing equity (and diluting ownership) but rather by facilitating investment by a community of users or supporters that will actually be participating in the project and creating the value. By having a structured stake in the company or project, the investors are incentivized to increase the project’s value thereby driving the value of the crypto currency issued in the initial coin offering.
Cryptocurrency is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange using cryptography to secure the transactions and to control the creation of additional units of the currency.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016
Revenue
We had no revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
Operating Expenses
We incurred general and administrative expenses of $73,112 and $12,376 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing an increase of $60,736 between the two periods. These expenses consisted primarily of consulting fees, professional fees, note interest and bank charges, filing and transfer fees. The increase in consulting fees between the two periods from $2,750 in 2016 to $56,500 in 2017 was due to the entering into of a consulting agreement with Business Instincts Group to provide strategic and project management services. Business Instincts Group is a related party as Cameron Chell is a common director of the companies. Professional fees increased from $5,409 in 2016 to $8,450 in 2017 and the increase was primarily due to an increase in legal services related to the evaluation of potential business opportunities in 2017. The increase in note interest and bank charges from $3,447 in 2016 to $6,100 in 2017 was due to the increase in notes payable in 2017 partially offset by a correction in the historical calculation. The increase in filing and transfer fees from $770 in 2016 to $2,062 in 2017 was due to the increase in the amount of transactions with the transfer agent.
12 |
Net Loss
We incurred net losses of $73,112 and $12,376 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing an increase of $60,736, primarily attributable to the factors discussed above under the heading “Operating Expenses”.

We incurred general and administrative expenses of $123,695 and $33,756 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing an increase of $89,939 between the two periods. These expenses consisted primarily of consulting fees, professional fees, note interest and bank charges, filing and transfer fees. The increase in operating expenses between the two periods related to an increase in consulting fees from $8,200 in 2016 to $77,900 in 2017 due to the entering into of a consulting agreement with Business Instincts Group to provide strategic and project management services, an increase in note interest and bank charges from $10,036 in 2016 to $21,539 in 2017 due to the increase in loans payable that bear interest of 18% per annum partially offset by a correction in the historical calculation, and an increase in professional fees from $11,282 in 2016 to $20,234 in 2017 due to the evaluation of potential business opportunities in 2017. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in filing and transfer fees between the two periods from $4,238 in 2016 to $4,022 in 2017 primarily due to decreases in the amount of transactions with the transfer agent.
Net Loss
We incurred net losses of $123,695 and $33,756 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, representing an increase of $89,939, primarily attributable to the factors discussed above under the heading “Operating Expenses”.

The loan is unsecure, repayable on demand and is non-interest bearing.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $141,039 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $25,100 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $115,939. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the payment of accounts payable and an increase in operating expenses including an increase in the evaluation of potential business opportunities.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash was $nil for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.
Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of $280,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $20,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. On March 2, 2017, we issued an unsecured convertible note in the principal amount of $20,000. The principal amount of the note, and accrued interest, will mature five (5) years from the date of issuance and will bear interest at the rate of 18% interest per annum, compounded annually. The principal amount, plus any interest accrued thereon, may be converted into shares of common stock of our company at a conversion price of $0.03 per share. On June 8, 2017, we issued an unsecured convertible note in the principal amount of $10,000. The principal amount of the note, and accrued interest, will mature five (5) years from the date of issuance and will bear interest at the rate of 18% interest per annum, compounded annually. The principal amount, plus any interest accrued thereon, may be converted into shares of common stock of our company at a conversion price of $0.03 per share. On September 7, 2017, we received $250,000 in connection with the purchase of a convertible note. Even though the purchase of the note has not yet completed, the investor permitted the purchase proceeds to be released to our company as on interest free basis until closing.
Plan of Operations
We expect that we will require $1.5 million to $2.0 million, in addition to our current cash, to fund our operating expenditures for the next twelve months. Projected working capital requirements for the next twelve months are as follows:
14 |
Estimated Working Capital Expenditures During the Next Twelve Months
Operating expenditures | ||||
Operator expenses | $ | 1,000,000 | ||
General and administrative (including professional fees) | $ | 500,000 | ||
Total | $ | 1,500,000 |
Professional fees are expected to include fees related to complying with public reporting requirements, maintaining our quotation on the OTCQB, conducting capital raises and expenses in connection with our new business.
Cash Requirements
As we have no cash flow from operations, we will require additional cash resources, including from the sale of equity or debt securities, to meet our planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We estimate that our capital needs over the next 12 months will be $1.5 million to $2.0 million. We expect to require additional cash for general and administrative expenses and to evaluate new business opportunities. We expect to derive such cash through the sale of additional equity or debt securities or by obtaining a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in debt service obligations, could cause additional dilution to our stockholders, and could require us to agree to financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify our plans to source a new business opportunity. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Failure to raise additional funds could cause our company to fail.
Going Concern
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established a source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern. We have incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $348,973 as at September 30, 2017 (December 31, 2016: $225,950). Our ability to operate as a going concern is dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable.
In its report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources
