Newpoint Financial Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Newpoint Financial Corp. (“Newpoint”, “the Company”) 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Classic Rules World Judo Championships, Inc. to develop an annual judo championship tournament, this subsidiary is no longer active and has ceased to exist.
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. On January 19, 2021, the Company had a 500-1 reverse stock split with FINRA and Change of Control. On February 9, 2021, new officers and directors were elected and the name of the Company was changed to Newpoint Financial Corp. (Delaware) on February 12, 2021.
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 revenue and has generated net losses of $250,859 and $429,028 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,122,897 and $1,872,038 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and has experienced negative cash flows from operations. These circumstances raise 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 majority 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.
Deposits held at financial institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are insured up to $250,000. At times cash balances may exceed the FDIC insured limit. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022 the Company’s uninsured cash balances on deposit totalled approximately $0 and $684,300, respectively.

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.
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 current expected credit losses (“CECL”) for all Held-to-Maturity (“HTM”) securities each quarter. The HTM securities are evaluated for potential credit loss on investments not measured at fair value through net earnings. Our allowance for credit losses 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits.
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.
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
As at December 31, 2022, management impaired the Company’s equity investment in Novea Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“Novea”) to . This is based on management’s best estimates of the current risk factors involved. These risk factors remain elevated given the lack of clarity regarding the future projections for Novea. As at June 30, 2023, management’s assessment of the valuation of Novea remains unchanged.
The Company follows U.S GAAP guidance on Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy organized into three levels based upon the input assumptions used in pricing assets.
Level 1 – Inputs have the highest reliability and are related to assets with unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
Level 2 – Inputs related to assets with quoted prices in markets that are not considered active or other than quoted prices in active markets which may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs which can be
corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable and are used to the extent that observable inputs do not exist.
The Company’s investment in the common stock of Novea is considered a level 3 investment.
NOTE 5– CREDIT COMMITMENT
The Company entered into a five (5) year revolving credit facility agreement to provide financing to Novea dated as of December 10, 2021 (“Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a revolving credit with a commitment equal to the lesser of: (i) $5,000,000; or (ii) on any amount greater than $500,000, the lender shall only disburse any such excess up to the amount of 50% of the qualified receivables outstanding of the borrower, bearing interest at LIBOR plus 5.25%. The credit facility further stipulates that should a technical breach occur, that interest rate charged will be increased to LIBOR plus 7.25%. The outstanding principal was $330,800 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $4,669,200 of additional borrowings available to Novea subject to the borrowing criteria being maintained.
The Company has recognized a full allowance against the $330,800 funds provided to Novea as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The valuation allowance reflects management’s assessment that it is more likely than not that a portion of the Company’s credit facility provided will not be realized. The Company will continue to evaluate the realizability of the credit facility and may adjust the valuation allowance in future periods based on changes in the available evidence.

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.
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 consider the following accounting policies to be both those most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and those that require the most subjective judgment:
Valuation of investments and credit facility allowances: Management relies on estimates of projected cashflows as support for the amounts disclosed in the Company’s financial statements as investments and valuation allowances taken against respective investments. The projections are based on the best estimates available, however these estimates are subject to potential changes in market conditions, interest rates and market liquidity considerations.
Going Concern: Management relies on estimates of projections to support the going concern assumption and relies on the basis that 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
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 and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to the material weaknesses identified in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2021.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation of these controls as of the end of our last fiscal quarter as covered by this report on June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The Company’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error or all fraud and is not effective. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
