Business

RocketFuel Blockchain Company, a Nevada corporation (“RocketFuel” or the “Company”) was formed on January 12, 2018 for the purpose of bringing highly efficient check-out systems to eCommerce. These new check-out means based upon blockchain technology are designed to increase speed, security, and ease of use. Using RocketFuel’s technology, merchants can enable new impulse buying schemes that may be unavailable in present day eCommerce sites.

On June 27, 2018, we consummated a transaction as contemplated by that certain Contribution Agreement made and entered into as of June 27, 2018 by and among B4MC Gold Mines, Inc. (“B4MC”), a Nevada corporation, and us. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, B4MC issued 17,001,312 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock to us in exchange for a 100% ownership interest in us resulting in 22,668,416 post-merger shares of B4MC common stock issued and outstanding. On September 25, 2018, B4MC changed its name to RocketFuel Blockchain, Inc.

On June 29, 2018, we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission which fully describes the transaction set forth herein.

Our corporate headquarters are located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which we consider necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding quarter or for the entire fiscal year. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of March 31, 2018 and for the period from January 12, 2018 (date of inception) through March 31, 2018, which are included in Exhibit 99.1 of our Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 29, 2018.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments, which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, and that affect the amounts reported in our unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 to the audited financial statements as of March 31, 2018 and for the period from January 12, 2018 (date of inception) through March 31, 2018, which are included in Exhibit 99.1 of the Current Report of B4MC Gold Mines, Inc., our predecessor company, on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on June 29, 2018.

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We incorporated our business on January 12, 2018. During the six months ended September 30, 2018, we have reported a net loss of $3,249,075 and negative cash flows of $75,661 from operating activities. As of September 30, 2018, we reported negative working capital of $1,960. As a result, management believes that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Prior to June 27, 2018, management was engaged in efforts to identify and negotiate a transaction with a public

company quoted on the OTC Markets having shell status where a contemplated transaction would be treated as a reverse merger. On June 27, 2018, we consummated a transaction as contemplated by that certain Contribution Agreement made and entered into as of June 27, 2018 by and among B4MC and us. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, B4MC issued 17,001,312 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock to us in exchange for a 100% ownership interest in us resulting in 22,668,416 post-merger shares of B4MC common stock issued and outstanding. We financed our efforts to consummate this reverse merger transaction through the issuance of equity securities. We will require additional financing in order to continue to develop our product and execute on our business plan. However, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in raising the additional capital necessary to continue operations and execute on our business plan.

4.

New Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on our accounting and reporting. We believe that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on our accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.

5.

Related Party Transactions

As of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, we reported $0 and $305, respectively, as an advance payable to related party.

6.

Income Taxes

We are required to file federal and state income tax returns in the United States. The preparation of these tax returns requires us to interpret the applicable tax laws and regulations in effect in such jurisdictions, which could affect the amount of tax paid by us. In consultation with our tax advisors, we base our tax returns on interpretations that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The tax returns, however, are subject to routine reviews by the various federal and state taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we file tax returns. As part of these reviews, a taxing authority may disagree with respect to the income tax positions taken by us (“uncertain tax positions”) and, therefore, may require us to pay additional taxes. As required under applicable accounting rules, we accrue an amount for our estimate of additional income tax liability, including interest and penalties, which we could incur as a result of the ultimate or effective resolution of the uncertain tax positions. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

Income tax credit for the three and six months ended September 30, 2018 was $0 and $0, respectively. The effective tax rates for the six months ended September 30, 2018 was 21.0%. We have estimated our provision for income taxes in accordance with the Tax Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing but have kept the full valuation allowance.

The 2018 tax rate reflects the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) which made significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a federal corporate tax

rate decrease from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings.

On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") was issued to address the application of US GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. The deferred tax expense recorded in connection with the remeasurement of deferred tax assets is a provisional amount and a reasonable estimate at December 31, 2017 based upon the best information currently available. The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Act. Any subsequent adjustment to these amounts will be recorded to current tax expense in the quarter of 2018 when the analysis is complete. The accounting is expected to be complete when the 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in 2018.

Stockholders’ Deficit

Prior to August 8, 2018, we had 750,000,000 shares of our $0.001 par value common stock authorized. On August 8, 2018, our Board of Directors voted to amend our articles of incorporation whereby the authorized shares of our common stock were reduced to 250,000,000. Additionally, the Board authorized 50,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. On September 25, 2018, we filed a certificate of amendment to our articles of incorporation to effect such changes. On June 27, 2018, we consummated a transaction as contemplated by that certain Contribution Agreement made and entered into as of June 27, 2018 by and among B4MC and us. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, B4MC issued 17,001,312 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock to us in exchange for a 100% ownership interest in us resulting in 22,668,416 post-merger shares of B4MC common stock issued and outstanding. As of September 30, 2018 and March 31, 218, we had 22,668,416 shares and 1,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

8.

Stock-Based Compensation

On August 8, 2018, the Board and stockholders holding a majority of our voting power approved the “RocketFuel Blockchain, Inc., 2018 Equity Incentive Plan,” which plan enables us to make awards that qualify as performance-based compensation. We have reserved 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for issuance in connection with awards under the plan.

On August 8, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the grant of options to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Bennett J. Yankowitz, our chief financial officer and a director, pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to the terms of the option agreement, these options are exercisable immediately on the date of grant at an exercise price of $3.00 per share and are exercisable for a term of 10 years from the date of grant. In determining the fair value of the stock option, we will utilize the Black-Scholes pricing model utilizing the following assumptions: i) stock option exercise price of $3.00; ii) fair market value of our common stock of $8.50, which was based on available valuation factors made available to us during the period from the date of grant through the end of our fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018; iii) expected term of option of 7 years; iv) expected volatility of our common stock of approximately 40%; v) expected dividend rate of 0.0%; and vi) risk-free interest rate of approximately 2.80%. As a result, we recorded stock-based compensation of $3,154,208 during each of the three and six months ended September 30, 2018.

9.

Legal Proceedings

We are not the subject of any pending legal proceedings; and to the knowledge of management, no proceedings are presently contemplated against us by any federal, state or local governmental agency. Further, to the knowledge of management, no director or executive officer is party to any action in which any has an interest adverse to us.

10.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements and other information are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information currently available.

The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and are not guaranties of future performance. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or using other similar expressions. We are making investors aware that such forward-looking statements, because they relate to future events, are by their very nature subject to many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from our predictions include those discussed under “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” and “Business.” Although we have sought to identify the most significant risks to our business, we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized, nor can there be any assurance that we have identified all possible issues which we might face. For all of these reasons, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no responsibility to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except as required by law. We urge readers to review carefully the risk factors described in this Quarterly Report and in the other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You can read these documents at www.sec.gov.

Overview

RocketFuel was formed on January 12, 2018 for the purpose of bringing highly efficient check-out systems to eCommerce.  We are currently developing innovative check-out systems based upon blockchain technology and designed to increase speed, security, and ease of use. We believe that users of RocketFuel’s systems will enjoy a seamless check-out experience compared to current online shopping solutions. We believe that with RocketFuel’s technology, online merchants will be able to implement new impulse buying schemes that are unavailable in present day eCommerce sites. During the period from January 12, 2018 (date of inception) and through September 30, 2018, we commenced research and development of our application and fulfillment monitoring system.

On June 27, 2018, we consummated the Business Combination and related transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon these financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on an on-going basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. In the past, actual results have not been materially different from our estimates. However, results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of September 30, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to (i) insufficient segregation of duties in the finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel; and (ii) inadequate corporate governance policies. In the future, subject to working capital limitations, we intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
