FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. The statements regarding Newpoint Financial Corp. contained in this Report that are not historical in nature, particularly those that utilize terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “likely,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes” or “plans,” or comparable terminology, are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions, and entail various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements.

 

Important factors known to us that could cause such material differences include: uncertainties associated with the following:

 

 

Inadequate capital and barriers to raising the additional capital or to obtaining the financing needed to implement our business plans;

     
  Our failure to earn revenues or profits;
     
  Risks associated with potential acquisitions, including increased operating expenses and cash requirements; assimilation of operations, intellectual property and products of an acquired company, and
     
  Lack of an active trading market for our common stock;

 

We undertake no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable law. You are advised, however, to consult any future disclosures we make on related subjects in future reports to the SEC.

PART I

 

Item 1. Business.

 

Our Business

 

Newpoint Financial Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a holding company that strategically invests primarily in regulated entities such as banks and insurance companies. These investments may be result in us acquiring a controlling or non-controlling interests of these entities. To date, we have entered into three such transactions (one of which has closed): in December 2021 we acquired a 10% interest in Novea, Inc., a financial and insurance services software company; we have also entered into an agreement for the acquisition of an interest in American Millennium Insurance Co., a New Jersey based insurance company (see Item 9b) through purchase of shares of its parent holding companies. Closing is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

 

Since our current investments (one of which has closed) constitute (or will constitute) a minority interest in these companies, we anticipate that our income will be dependent on the ability of these companies to generate revenue and payment of dividends.

 

History

 

The Company was initially incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 16, 2005 under the name Blue Ribbon Pyrocool, Inc. (“Blue Ribbon”). Blue Ribbon changed its name to Classic Rules Judo Championships, Inc. on July 15, 2008 and subsequently to Judo Capital Corp on February 15, 2017.

 

On June 2, 2014, the Company ceased its principal activities of hosting and sponsoring judo tournaments and dissolved Classic Rules World Judo Championships, Inc. The Company had planned to operate in real estate investment market focused in the New York City metropolitan area. On February 28, 2018, the Company ceased its plans to operate in the real estate investment market. In February 2021 new officers and directors were elected and the name of the Company was changed to Newpoint Financial Corp.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of this report, we have no full-time/W-2 employees. Management of the Company expects to use consultants, attorneys, and accountants as necessary, and does not anticipate a need to hire any full-time employees until necessary for the operation of the Company. The need for employees and their availability will be addressed in connection with the scope and requirements of the operations of the Company.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

 

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to include the disclosure under this item.

 

Item 2. Properties.

 

Our principal place of business is located at 433 North Camden Drive, Suite 725, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. The space is leased by NMS Consulting, Inc., our contracted management consulting firm whereby they provide us with general office support. At this time we do not pay any rent and we believe that our existing facilities and equipment are adequate.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

The former Chief Financial Officer, Gary Shirshac, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court Judicial District of Hartford on February 14, 2022. He named Newpoint Financial Corp. (now known as NPFC SPV I), a privately held Wyoming corporation (“Newpoint Wyoming”) licensed to do business in Connecticut (an entity affiliated with the Company) and alleged a violation of the Connecticut Wage Act.

 

Mr. Shirshac was also the Chief Financial Officer of the WY Company. He was terminated from Newpoint Wyoming and the Company on December 31, 2021. He did not name the Company in the suit nor allege that the Company employed him.

 

Mr. Shirshac denies being informed he was terminated from Newpoint Wyoming until January 31, 2022 and is therefore seeking payment of approximately $20,000 as compensation.

 

Except as set forth above, we are not party to, and our property is not the subject of, any material legal proceedings.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

 

Not applicable.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, 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.

 

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s subjective judgments are described below to facilitate a better understanding of our business activities. Management bases its judgments on its experience and assumptions which it believes are reasonable and applicable under the circumstances.

 

We expect that uncertainty and volatility in financial markets relating to the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the company. The scope, duration and magnitude of the direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are changing rapidly and are difficult to anticipate.

 

We are subject to economic factors such as interest rates, inflation, foreign exchange rates, adverse reserve developments, regulation, tax policy changes, political risks and other market risks that can impact our strategy, operations, and results.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Newpoint Financial Corp.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Newpoint Financial Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenues, has incurred net losses during the current and preceding years, and has an accumulated deficit of $532,090 as of December 31, 2021. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital and ultimately achieving profitable operations. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the board of directors and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

We determined the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is a critical audit matter due to the estimation and uncertainty regarding the Company’s available capital and the risk of bias in management’s judgments and assumptions in their determination.

 

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s assertion on its ability to continue as a going concern included the following:

 

  We performed testing procedures such as analytical procedures to identify conditions and events that indicated there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
  We reviewed and evaluated management’s plans for dealing with the adverse effects of these conditions and events.
  We inquired of Company management and reviewed Company records to assess whether there are additional factors that contribute to the uncertainties disclosed.
  We assessed whether the Company’s determination that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern was adequately disclosed.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and

Board of Directors of Newpoint Financial Corp. (formerly Judo Capital Corp.)

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Newpoint Financial Corp. (formerly Judo Capital Corp.) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has no operations, has ongoing net losses, a lack of revenues, and negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management’s plans are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis of Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

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, whether due to fraud or error. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Newpoint Financial Corp.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Newpoint Financial Corp. (“Newpoint”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 16, 2005 under the name Blue Ribbon Pyrocool, Inc. (“Blue Ribbon”). Blue Ribbon changed its name to Classic Rules Judo Championships, Inc. on July 15, 2008 then to Judo Capital Corp on February 15, 2017. the Company formed a subsidiary in the State of Connecticut on August 13, 2008 named Classic Rules World Judo Championships, Inc. to develop an annual judo championship tournament. Collectively the entities are referred to as “the Company”. On June 2, 2014, the Company ceased its principal activities of hosting and sponsoring judo tournaments. The Company had planned to operate in real estate investment activities focused in the New York City metropolitan area. On February 28, 2018, the Company ceased its plans to operate in the real estate investment market. In November 2020, the Company had a 500-1 reverse stock split with FINRA and in February 2021 there was a Change of Control. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. On February 9, 2021, new officers and directors were elected and the name of the Company was changed to Newpoint Financial Corp.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has no revenues, has incurred net losses of $87,178 and $10,453 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $532,090 and $444,912 as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and has experienced negative cash flows from operations. These circumstances raise some doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The Company to date has been financially supported by related party entities which are also owned by the principal shareholders of the Company. The Company will continue to be financially supported by related party entities until such time as the company generates sufficient cashflow to support its expense requirements or completes an external capital raising.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the estimates as additional information becomes known.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents includes highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

Investments

 

Short-term investments, Fixed maturities and equity securities

 

Short-term investments comprise investments with a maturity greater than three months up to one year from the date of purchase. Short-term investments are carried at fair value, with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in net earnings are reported as net realized and unrealized gains and losses, respectively.

Newpoint Financial Corp.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Investments in debt securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings. Debt securities held as investments that the Company classifies as held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, net of a valuation allowance for credit losses. Investments in debt securities not classified as either held-to-maturity or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, with the change in fair value during the period excluded from earnings and recorded net of tax as a component of other comprehensive income.

 

Investments in Equity securities are reported at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in net earnings are reported as net realized and unrealized gains and losses, respectively. If there are no readily determinable fair values, investments in equity securities are measured at cost less impairment.

 

Valuation allowance for fixed income securities

 

Management evaluates impairment losses for all HTM securities each quarter. The HTM securities are evaluated for potential impairment on investments not measured at fair value through net earnings. Our allowance for impairment is derived based on various data sources, multiple key inputs and forecast scenarios. These include default rates specific to the individual security, vintage of the security, geography of the issuer of the security, industry analyst reports, credit ratings and consensus economic forecasts. Securities that meet any one of the criteria included above will be subject to a discounted cash flow analysis by comparing the present value of expected future cash flows with the amortized cost basis. Projected cash flows are driven primarily by assumptions regarding probability of default and the timing and amount of recoveries associated with defaults.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments and their liquidity. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of net operating loss and credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts measured at the current enacted tax rates. The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets if it is not more likely than not that these deferred income tax assets will be realized.

 

The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has determined it does not have any uncertain tax positions.

 

15
 

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company’s business currently operates in one segment.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

The computation of basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares that were outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares used in the basic net loss per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. See Note 7 – Stockholders’ Deficit.

 

Reference Rate Reform

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this Update provide optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The guidance only applies to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We adopted the amendments as of the December 31, 2021. There have not been any such contracts modified as of December 31, 2021. As contracts are modified through December 2022, we will assess the impact based on this guidance. Management does not expect there will be a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable to the Company, it has not identified any standards that it believes merit further discussion. The Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include (a) affiliates of the registrant; (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The financial statements include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and (d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENTS

 

On December 10, 2021, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Novea Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Novea”), whereby we acquired five hundred thousand (500,000) units (“Units”), each Unit having a stated value of $100 and consisting of (i) one share of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Novea Preferred Stock”) and (ii) 2.503474 shares of common stock of Novea (“Novea Common Stock”).

The Collateral Notes are due on demand and we have the right to prepay the Collateral Notes at any time on NPFC SPV 1, Inc’s behalf.

 

(i) As of December 31, 2021, investments in debt securities include mandatorily redeemable preferred stock which is classified as held to maturity, with a term of 10 years. The amortized cost was $50,000,000 as of December 31, 2021.

17
 

 

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets, at federal rate of 21% and state rate of 7%, at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

 

   2021   2020 
   December 31, 
   2021   2020 
Net operating loss carry forward  $148,985   $124,575 
Valuation allowance   (148,985)   (124,575)
Net deferred tax asset  $-   $- 

 

The Company’s net operating loss carry forwards was $532,090 and $444,912 as of December 31, 2021, and 2020. Accordingly, there is no current tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

 

The net increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $24,410 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance on an annual basis based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management’s judgment about the realizability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is reflected in current operations.

 

The utilization of the tax net operating loss carry forwards may be limited due to ownership changes that have occurred as a result of sales of common stock.

 

The effects of state income taxes were insignificant for the year ended December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

 

The following is a reconciliation between expected income tax benefit and actual, using the applicable statutory income tax rate of 28% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

 

   2021   2020 
   December 31, 
   2021   2020 
Income tax benefit at statutory rate  $24,410   $2,927 
Change in valuation allowance   (24,410)   (2,927)
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)  $-   $- 

 

The fiscal years 2018 through 2021 remain open to examination by federal authorities and other jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

 

We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for the year ended December 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020 due to the operating losses experienced during the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. When it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit. We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In August 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Citadel Risk Holdings, Inc., (“CRHI”) which owns all the shares of American Millennium Insurance Co., (“AMIC”) a New Jersey based insurance company. We agreed to purchase 37.5% of AMIC over the course of 10 years. Closing is expected to occur in 2022 subject to receipt of regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.

 

In November 2021, we also entered into a stock purchase agreement with Citadel Reinsurance Co Ltd, a Bermuda company to purchase 9.9% of its shares in CHRI for a purchase price of $2,650,000. Closing of the acquisition is also subject to receipt of regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.

 

We are in the process of submitting the forms necessary for regulatory approval to the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance that encompasses the acquisition of purchase of 37.5 % shares in AMIC from CHRI and 9.9% shares of CHRI from Citadel Reinsurance Co. Upon approval, we expect the transactions to be completed sometime in 2022.

 

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 

On July 22, 2021, Boyle CPA, LLC (“Boyle”) was dismissed as the Company’s independent auditor. The decision to dismiss Boyle was approved by the Company board of directors.

 

The reports of Boyle on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that, the reports included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and in the subsequent interim period through July 22, 2021 the Company did not have any disagreements with Boyle on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Boyle’s satisfaction, would have caused Boyle to make reference thereto in its report on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and in the subsequent interim period through July 22, 2021, there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided Boyle with a copy of this disclosure set forth under this Item 9 and requested that Boyle furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter from Boyle is attached hereto as Exhibit 16.1.

 

On July 22, 2021, the Company engaged MahoneySabol CPAs and Advisors (“MahoneySabol”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and in the subsequent interim period through July 22, 2021, the Company did not consult with MahoneySabol with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that would have been rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or any other matters set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

The decision to engage MahoneySabol was approved by the Company’s board of directors.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company’s controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’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 chief executive and chief financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC’s rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to its chief executive officer to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and related financial information appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements and notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The management of the Company is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and l5d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

● Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

Provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

 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.

 

Management, including the Chief Executive Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 based upon the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) 2013 Framework. Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company had material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.

 

20
 

 

Specifically management identified the following material weaknesses at December 31, 2021:

 

As of December 31, 2021, there were insufficient written policies and procedures to insure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to the current requirements of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

 

As of December 31, 2021, there was a lack of segregation of duties, in that we only had one person performing all accounting-related duties.

 

As of December 31, 2021, there were no independent directors and no independent audit committee.

 

As a result of the material weakness described above, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, involving the preparation and reporting of our financial statements presented in conformity with GAAP, were not effective.

 

We understand that remediation of material weaknesses and deficiencies in internal controls is a continuing work in progress due to the issuance of new standards and promulgations. However, remediation of any known deficiency is among our highest priorities. Our management will periodically assess the progress and sufficiency of our ongoing initiatives and make adjustments as and when practical and necessary.

Item 9B. Other Information. Transition from a “Shell Company” to Actively Doing Business

 

On December 10, 2021, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Novea Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Novea”), whereby we acquired five hundred thousand (500,000) units (“Units”), each Unit having a stated value of $100 and consisting of (i) one share of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Novea Preferred Stock”) and (ii) 2.503474 shares of common stock of Novea (“Novea Common Stock”). We also acquired a warrant exercisable for ten years for additional shares of common stock of up to $50,000,000, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. In aggregate, we acquired (i) 500,000 shares of Novea Preferred Stock, (ii) 1,251,737 shares of Novea Common Stock, representing ten percent (10%) of Novea’s common stock, and (iii) one warrant to purchase up to $50,000,000 of Novea Common Stock. Novea is a financial and insurance services software company.

 

As consideration for such purchase, Newpoint Financial Corp (a Wyoming corporation), now known as NPFC SPV 1, Inc., an affiliated entity issued to Novea ten (10) secured $5,000,000 notes (each a “Collateral Note”), totaling $50,000,000. The Collateral Notes are due on demand and we have the right to prepay the Collateral Notes at any time on NPFC SPV 1, Inc’s behalf.

 

We also entered into a five (5) year revolving credit facility agreement with Novea, dated as of December 10, 2021 (“Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit with a commitment of $5,000,000, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 5.25%. As of April 12, 2022, we have disbursed $330,800 under the credit facility.

 

Prior to the acquisition of an interest in Novea, which closed on December 16, 2021 we were a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act). As a result of the acquisition, we have ceased to be a shell company. The information contained in this filing includes “Form 10 information”, in accordance with Item 2.01 of SEC Form 8-K.

 

On August 20, 2021, we entered into a Class A Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Citadel Risk Holdings, Inc. (“CRHI”). Under the purchase agreement, we agreed to purchase from CRHI 45,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of CRHI, over a ten year period, for a total purchase price of $10 million to be paid over a ten year period. The initial payment of $1 million has been made during 2022, however the transaction closing is contingent upon New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance approval and other customary closing conditions.

On October 24, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated Class B Common Stock Purchase Agreement with CRHI. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we agreed to purchase from CRHI 10,000,000 shares of Class B Stock of CRHI for a purchase price of $10,000,000. Such purchase price is payable in the form of a demand promissory note.

 

On November 16, 2021, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Citadel Reinsurance Company, which together with its affiliates owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CRHI. Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, we agreed to purchase shares representing 9.9% of CRHI for a purchase price of $2,650,000. Closing of the acquisition is subject to receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with various actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, a derivative action, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

The Company’s certificate of incorporation provides that it will indemnify its officers and directors to the extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

The Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

 

any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law
payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of our directors will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Any repeal or modification of this provision will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation, right or protection of a director of our company existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

The table lists applicable percentage ownership based on 19,153,923 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2022. In addition, under SEC rules, beneficial ownership of common stock include shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the conversion or exercise of securities that are either immediately exercisable or convertible into common stock or exercisable or convertible into common stock within 60 days of March 31, 2022. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws. The address of each shareholder except as otherwise indicated as c/o Newpoint Financial Corp., 433 North Camden Drive, Suite 725, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.
