PART I

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements that appear elsewhere in this Report.

Unless the context provides otherwise, when we refer to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” in this Form 10-K, we are referring to Point Capital, Inc.

Overview

On September 29, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Blind Faith Concepts Holdings, Inc. a Nevada corporation (the “Seller”) whereby we completed the acquisition of 100% of the assets of “NFID” from the Seller. We plan to develop NFID as an exclusive brand of clothing consisting initially of sweatshirts, hoodies, pants, t-shirts, and hats. Our clothing brand will feature non-binary work wear-inspired clothing for the revolutionarily-spirited person.

We are developing the streetwear apparel brand, NFID, which stands for “No Found Identification”. The streetwear collection is inspired by music, fashion and captures the social consciousness of popular culture. The brand unapologetically celebrates the freedom of choice and expression. Generational political shifts have changed the way younger generations express and interpret gender, particularly in youth subculture and countercultural movements. While today’s youth culture rebellion is gender neutral, there is no single brand providing a uniform for the expression of that rebellion.

Our Business

Product and Service Offerings

Branded hooded sweatshirts, shirts, and hats will be the initial product launch while options for footwear are developed. The business model is uses concepts of “Less is More” and utilizes social media and the “Have to Have” market. This is achieved through limited quantities and styles released strategically to generate maximum trending on social media platforms.

Combining the right product with a branding message around unisex, the MeToo Movement, Times Up, and various current issues, the company is investigating possible alignments with a notable charity organization to further leverage is recognition as a socially relevant new brand

Commercial Market Strategy

Our strategy involves developing the NFID brand through a direct to consumer (“DTC”) sales model, fed into by parallel digital marketing strategies, including collaboration with established brands throughout industry categories as well as seeding to celebrities/social media influencer sponsorships and viral product placement.

Parallel to this strategy is a series of targeted influencer We plan on leveraging relationships with core social media influencers of youth culture’s rebellion who have strong voices in the streetwear community.

We plan on sponsoring NFID events rather than mass marketing. These events are individually planned and social series that will consist of intimate cultural events in New York City and other cities, rather than a single large one-size-fits-all event. These smaller events will ultimately drive sales in multiple markets and expand the brand reach.

For example, we will select a group of 10-15 buzzworthy cultural influencers and/or relevant celebrities to dine at a location such as political dissent, free speech, gender expression, cult film screenings, and culinary pop-ups an industrial space in a hub or affluent hipster heavy neighborhood that seats a minimum 60-70 people. We are developing plans to create a database of each customer of consumer information.

NFID.com is expected to launch its apparel in the second quarter this year and begin generating revenues.

Suppliers

Currently, we do not rely on any one supplier.

Intellectual Property

Currently, we hold the following trademarks:

Corporate Background

Point Capital, Inc. was incorporated under its original name Gold Swap, Inc. under the laws of the State of New York on July 13, 2010. On December 11, 2012, shareholders approved changing the Company’s state of incorporation from New York to Delaware by the merger of Gold Swap with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Point Capital, Inc., and to change the name of the Company from “Gold Swap Inc.” to “Point Capital, Inc.” The merger was effective on January 24, 2013.

Through September 28, 2018, we were a closed-end, non-diversified investment company that had elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).  As a business development company, we were required to comply with certain regulatory requirements.  For instance, we generally had to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities of private U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.

On September 29, 2018, we filed Form N-54C, Notification of Withdrawal of election to be Subject to Section 55 through 65 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, whereas we have changed the nature of our business so as to cease to be a business development company. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2018, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S. GAAP”).

As a result of this change in status, we shall discontinue applying the guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 - Financial Services – Investment Company and shall account for the change in its status prospectively by accounting for its equity investments in accordance with ASC Topics 320 - Investments—Debt and Equity Securities as of the date of the change in status. Additionally, the presentation of the financial statements will be that of a commercial company rather than that of an investment company.

In accordance with ASC 946, we are making this change to our financial reporting prospectively, and not restating periods prior to our change in status to a non-investment company effective September 29, 2018, Accordingly, in this report, we may refer to both accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to corporations (Corporation Accounting), which applies commencing September 29, 2018 and to that applicable to investment companies under the 1940 Act (Investment Company Accounting) which applies to prior periods. However, pursuant to ASC 205 – Presentation of Financial Statements, Section 205-10-50-1, “Changes Affecting Comparability”, certain amounts in the 2017 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications primarily effect the presentation of revenues and expenses in the statements of operations and presentation of assets in the balance sheet. Additionally, the schedules of investments are not presented for 2018 or 2017. We determined that there is no cumulative effect of the change from Investment Company Accounting to Corporation Accounting on periods prior to those presented and that there is no effect on our financial position or results of operations as a result of this change.

In order to maintain its status as a non-investment company, we will now operate so as to fall outside the definition of an “investment company” or within an applicable exception. The Company expects to continue to operate outside the definition of an “investment company” as a company primarily engaged in the business of developing and selling apparel products.

Through March 31, 2017, we elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operated in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. At March 31, 2017, we failed this diversification test since our investment in IPSIDY INC. (formerly ID Global Solutions Corporation) (“IDTY”) accounted for over 25% of our total assets. We did not cure our failure to retain our status as a RIC and we will not seek to obtain RIC status again. Accordingly, beginning in 2017, we are subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates. The loss of the Company’s status as a RIC did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Currently, we are not making any new equity investments.

On September 29, 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Blind Faith Concepts Holdings, Inc. a Nevada corporation (the “Seller”) whereby we completed the acquisition of 100% of the assets of “NFID” from the Seller which consisted of three trademarks related to the NFID brand, the NFID website, shoe designs and samples, and the assumption of a one-year Brand Ambassador Agreement in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of common capital stock of the Company. NFID is a recently developed unisex clothing brand. We plan on continuing product development to fully launch the product. Our acquisition of the NFID assets gives us access to the growing market for unisex products. 

Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the Company agreed to issue 2,000,000 shares of common capital stock of the Company in exchange for 100% of the NFID assets.

On November 5, 2018, we entered into 14 separate Return to Treasury Agreements, whereby certain shareholders holding an aggregate of 28,734,901 shares of common stock of the Company agreed to return a portion of their respective holdings to treasury in exchange for cash payments aggregating $2,872. As a result, the total issued and outstanding number of shares of common stock of the Company was reduced by 28,734,901.

At December 31, 2018, all of the fair value of the Company’s equity investments, at fair value is concentrated in one entity in the biometric technology industry, which gives rise to a risk of significant loss should the performance or financial condition of this industry or the portfolio company deteriorates.

Our transfer agent is West Coast Stock Transfer, Inc., 721 N. Vulcan Ave. Ste. 205, Encinitas, CA 92024. Their telephone number is (619) 664-4780.

Competition

The streetwear industry is a $75 billion industry with robust secondary markets, e-commerce disruptors, and a vast ecosystem of competing blue-chip companies. Industry digital media and e-commerce platform Hypebeast filed for a groundbreaking IPO back in 2016.

The largest competitor is “hype brand” Supreme which was given a $1 billion valuation upon selling a minority stake to private equity firm Carlyle Group following a successful collaboration with high fashion staple, Louis Vuitton. NOAH, is a New York-based utilitarian men’s streetwear brand that uses cross-platform collaborations with subcultural icons to penetrate the market.

Governance

Our Board of Directors monitors and performs an oversight role with respect to our business and affairs, including with respect to investment practices and performance, compliance with regulatory requirements and the services, expenses and performance of our service providers. Among other things, our Board of Directors approves the appointment of our officers, reviews and monitors the services and activities performed by our officers, and provides overall risk management oversight.  

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Audit Committee is composed of Van Parker, Committee Chairman, Joel Stone, and Leonard Schiller. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities include overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes, our systems of internal controls over financial reporting, and audits of our consolidated financial statements, and approval of the engagement, and reviews the performance of, our independent registered public accounting firm.

Employees

We currently have no employees and our Chief Executive Officer provides service on a part-time basis. Our chief executive officer is also a director and our Chief Financial Officer.  All functions including development, strategy, negotiations and administration are currently being provided by our executive officers or outsourced to service providers. Our officer and directors do not work exclusively for us and do not devote all of their time to our operations. Their other activities prevent them from devoting their full-time to our operations.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

From incorporation through December 31, 2013, we were treated as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). From January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016, we elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under the Code. As discussed below, since March 31, 2017, we failed the RIC diversification test. As of December 31, 2018 and through the date of this report, we had not cured our failure to retain our status as a RIC and we will not retain our RIC status. Accordingly, beginning in 2017, we are subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates. 

During the periods we qualified as a RIC, we did not have to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any investment company taxable income (which is generally our net ordinary income plus the excess, if any, of realized net short-term capital gains over realized net long-term capital losses) or any realized net capital gains (which is generally net realized long-term capital gains in excess of net realized short-term capital losses) that we would have been required to distribute to our stockholders if we would have generated taxable income. We were subject to United States federal income tax at the regular corporate rates on any investment company taxable income or capital gain not distributed (or deemed distributed) to our stockholders. During the periods we were a RIC, we did not generate any taxable income.

Since we did not generate investment company taxable income in any taxable years, we were not required to make any distributions to satisfy the Annual Distribution Requirement.

Since March 31, 2017, we failed the RIC diversification test since one of our investments accounted for approximately 78% of our total assets. If we were to correct the failure, we should have disposed of the asset causing the failure within six months of the end of the quarter in which we identified the failure to cure the failure and we would be required to pay an excise tax of $50,000.

As of December 31, 2018 and through the date of this report, we had not cured our failure to retain our status as a RIC and we do not intend to retain our RIC status. Accordingly, beginning in 2017, we are subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates.

Regulation as a BDC

Initially we elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act requires that a majority of our directors be persons other than “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. In addition, the 1940 Act provides that we may not change the nature of our business so as to cease to be, or to withdraw our election as, a BDC without the approval of a “majority of our outstanding voting securities,” within the meaning of the 1940 Act.

On September 29, 2018, we filed Form N-54C, Notification of Withdrawal of election to be Subject to Section 55 through 65 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, whereas we have changed the nature of our business so as to cease to be a business development company.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide risk factors.

None.

Our principal executive offices are located at 1086 Teaneck Road, Suite 3A, Teaneck, New Jersey 07666. We are not paying any rent for such space, as it is donated to us from our executive officer. We believe that our current office space will be adequate for the foreseeable future. We maintain a website and the information contained on that website is not deemed to be a part of this annual report.

There are no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of our company, or security holder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us. Our property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings. 

Not applicable.

PART II

Market Information

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “PTCI.” Trading in OTC Pink stocks can be volatile, sporadic and risky, as thinly traded stocks tend to move more rapidly in price than more liquid securities. Such trading may also depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their common stock. Our common stock does not have an established public trading market.

The following table sets forth the range of high and low sales prices of our common stock as reported on the OTC Pink Market for 2018 and 2017. As our common stock is thinly traded, the numbers may not reflect actual market value for our common stock.

Security Holders

As of March 29, 2019, there were 23,442,540 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, which were held by approximately 87 stockholders of record.

We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, of which 1,000,000 are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

On April 24, 2013, the Company executed and delivered a Stock Purchase Agreement with Alpha Capital Anstalt (the “Purchaser”) to purchase 4,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) at a purchase price of $100.00 per share, or $400,000. In connection with the purchase of the Preferred Stock, the Company agreed not to enter into or exercise any equity line of credit or similar agreement, issue or agree to issue any floating or variable priced equity linked instruments or any equity with price reset rights. The Company also agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to issue any equity, convertible debt or other securities convertible into common stock or equity of the Company without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

Holders of Preferred Stock vote together with holders of Common Stock on an as-converted basis. Each share of Preferred Stock is currently convertible into 500 shares of common stock at the option of the holder (subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation) based on a conversion formula (the Stated Value, currently $100, divided by the Conversion Rate, currently $0.20.) The Conversion Rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of stock dividends or stock splits. In addition, if the Company issues equity or options, warrants or other convertible securities to the common stockholders, the holder of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive such securities pro rata as if the Preferred Stock was convertible. Each share has a $100 liquidation value. The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on an as-converted basis if paid on Common Stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock vote with the holders of the common stock on an as converted basis. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of Preferred Stock shall have preference to any distribution of the assets of the Company to the holders of common stock of the Company.

The Company has the right to force conversion of all or a part of the issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (i) if there is an effective registration statement which includes the resale of the common stock underlying the Preferred Stock, or such stock is freely resellable under Rule 144; (ii) the volume weighted average price exceeds $0.40 per share; and (iii) the average daily volume of the common stock exceeds $25,000. The Company also has the right under certain conditions to redeem all or some of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock for $100 per share.

 The Purchaser agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Preferred Stock and receive shares of the Company if the number of shares of common stock beneficially held by the Purchaser and its affiliates in the aggregate after such conversion exceeds 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of common stock.

On March 31, 2017, our board of directors approved the amendment and restatement of the original Certificate of Designation in order to expressly ensure that holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock have the right to elect at least two directors at all times, have complete priority over any other class as to distribution of assets and payments of dividends, and have equal voting rights with every other outstanding voting stock. On May 11, 2017, the Company filed this amendment and restatement with the State of Delaware.

Dividend Policy

We have not declared or paid dividends on our common stock since our formation. Declaration or payment of dividends, if any, in the future, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our then current financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On September 29, 2018, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, we issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to acquire assets. The shares were deemed restricted and were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On December 4, 2018, we issued 70,000 shares of our common stock for cash proceeds of $24,500, or $0.35 per share. The shares were deemed restricted and were issued pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Equity Compensation Plans

Currently, we do not have any equity compensation plans.

Not applicable.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect Management’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate” and “continue,” or similar words. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of us and members of its management team as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based and should be read together with the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report and in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

Through September 28, 2018, we were a closed-end, non-diversified investment company that had elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).  As a business development company, we were required to comply with certain regulatory requirements.  For instance, we generally had to invest at least 70% of our total assets in “qualifying assets,” including securities of private U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.

On September 29, 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Blind Faith Concepts Holdings, Inc. a Nevada corporation (the “Seller”) whereby we completed the acquisition of 100% of the assets of “NFID” from the Seller which consisted of three trademarks related to the NFID brand, the NFID website, shoe designs and samples, and the assumption of a one-year Brand Ambassador Agreement in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of common capital stock of the Company. NFID is a recently developed unisex footwear brand. We plan on continuing product development to fully launch the product. Our acquisition of the NFID assets gives us access to the growing market for unisex products. 

Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the Company agreed to issue 2,000,000 shares of common capital stock of the Company in exchange for 100% of the NFID assets. The shares were valued at $152,235, or $0.08 per share, the fair value of the Company’s common stock based on the fair value of assets acquired. There was no goodwill recorded since the APA was accounting for as an asset purchase.

As a result of the APA, the Company has elected to no longer be deemed a “Business Development Company” as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time (the “Act”). The withdrawal was generally approved by the shareholders of the Company on April 11, 2017, as evidenced on the Definitive Information Statement pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed on June 5, 2017. The Board, under authority granted by the shareholders, approved the withdrawal on September 27, 2018. On September 28, 2018, we filed Form N-54C, officially withdrawing our election to be subject to sections 55 through 65 of the Act, whereas we have changed the nature of our business so as to cease to be a business development company. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2018, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S. GAAP”).  

We discontinued applying the guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 - Financial Services – Investment Company and shall account for the change in our status prospectively by accounting for our equity investments in accordance with ASC Topics 320 - Investments—Debt and Equity Securities as of the date of the change in status. Additionally, the presentation of the financial statements will be that of a commercial company rather than that of an investment company.

In accordance with ASC 946, we are making this change to our financial reporting prospectively, and not restating periods prior to our change in status to a non-investment company effective September 29, 2018, Accordingly, in this report, we may refer to both accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to corporations (Corporation Accounting), which applies commencing September 29, 2018 and to that applicable to investment companies under the 1940 Act (Investment Company Accounting) which applies to prior periods. However, pursuant to ASC 205 – Presentation of Financial Statements, Section 205-10-50-1, “Changes Affecting Comparability”, certain amounts in the 2017 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications primarily effect the presentation of revenues and expenses in the statements of operations and presentation of assets in the balance sheet. Additionally, the schedules of investments are not presented for 2018 or 2017. We determined that there is no cumulative effect of the change from Investment Company Accounting to Corporation Accounting on periods prior to those presented and that there is no effect on our financial position or results of operations as a result of this change.

In order to maintain its status as a non-investment company, we will now operate so as to fall outside the definition of an “investment company” or within an applicable exception. We expect to continue to operate outside the definition of an “investment company” as a company primarily engaged in the business of developing and selling footwear and apparel products.

Through March 31, 2017, we elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operated in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. At March 31, 2017, we failed this diversification test since our investment in IPSIDY INC. (formerly ID Global Solutions Corporation) (“IDTY”) accounted for over 25% of our total assets. We did not cure our failure to retain our status as a RIC and we will not seek to obtain RIC status again. Accordingly, beginning in 2017, we are subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates. The loss of the Company’s status as a RIC did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Currently, we are not making any new equity investments.

We plan to develop NFID as an exclusive brand of clothing consisting initially of sweatshirts, hoodies, pants, t-shirts, and hats. Our clothing brand will feature non-binary work wear-inspired clothing for the revolutionarily-spirited person.

Going concern

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we had a net loss of $969,463 for the year ended December 31, 2018.  Additionally, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,642,510 at December 31, 2018 and have not generated any revenues under our new business plan. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. Management cannot provide assurance that we will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. We are seeking to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund our operations in the future. If we are unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future to fund our business plan, management expects that we will need to curtail our operations. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Strategy

The Company is developing the streetwear apparel brand, NFID, which stands for “No Found Identification.” The streetwear collection is inspired by music, fashion and captures the social consciousness of popular culture. The brand unapologetically celebrates the freedom of choice and expression. Generational political shifts have changed the way younger generations express and interpret gender, particularly in youth subculture and countercultural movements. While today’s youth culture rebellion is gender neutral, there is no single brand providing a uniform for the expression of that rebellion.

Branded hooded sweatshirts, shirts, and hats will be the initial product launch while options for footwear are developed. The business model is uses concepts of “Less is More” and utilizes social media and the “Have to Have” market. This is achieved through limited quantities and styles released strategically to generate maximum trending on social media platforms.

Our strategy involves developing the NFID brand through a direct to consumer (“DTC”) sales model, fed into by parallel digital marketing strategies, including collaboration with established brands throughout industry categories as well as seeding to celebrities/social media influencer sponsorships and viral product placement.

Parallel to this strategy is a series of targeted influencer events rather than mass marketing. These events are individually planned intimate cultural events in New York City which touch on niche themes such as political dissent, free speech, gender expression, cult film screenings, and culinary pop-ups.

We are developing plans to create a database of each customer of consumer information of a very loyal cult like following.

Combining the right product with a branding message around unisex, the MeToo Movement, Times Up, and various current issues, the company is investigating possible alignments with a notable charity organization to further leverage is recognition as a socially relevant new brand

NFID initial plan and launch is to sell its products using the DTC model while utilizing digital marketing campaigns selected influencers, brand ambassadors, and social media.

NFID.com is expected to launch its apparel in the second quarter this year and begin generating revenues.

Equity Investments

At December 31, 2018, equity investments of $12,766, comprised mainly of nonmarketable common stock and stock warrants, are recorded at cost, as adjusted for other than temporary impairment write-downs and are evaluated for impairment periodically.

As of December 31, 2018, the fair value of equity investments held by us and available for sale amounted to $215,528, which consisted of one investment, Ipsidy Inc. (“IDTY”), with a fair value of $215,528, or 100% of the total investment portfolio.

IDTY is an international biometrics and payment processing company with a unique technology platform that provides valuable, secure payment processing for consumers as well as for merchants. At December 31, 2018, we owned 2,155,275 common shares of IDTY with a fair value of $215,528. We are actively selling these shares and plan on using the proceeds from the sale of IDTY for working capital purposes, for NFID product development, or future acquisitions.

Results of Operations

The following table summarizes the results of operations for the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2017 and were based primarily on the comparative audited financial statements, footnotes and related information for the periods identified and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report.

Revenues

We did not generate any revenues from operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Operating Expenses:

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, total operating expenses consisted of the following:

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred compensation expense of $145,000 consisting of directors’ fees of $60,000, fees incurred for services performed by our former outsourced chief financial officer (“CFO”) of $25,000 and $60,000 in fees incurred for services of our chief executive officer (“CEO”). On May 31, 2018, our outsourced CFO resigned, and our CEO was appointed to serve as the Company’s interim CFO while continuing to serve as the CEO. Our CEO did not receive any additional compensation for his services as the interim CFO.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we incurred compensation expense of $177,500 consisting of directors’ fees of $30,000, fees incurred for services performed by our outsourced chief financial officer of $60,000, and $27,500 in fees incurred for services performed by our outsourced chief compliance officer, and $60,000 incurred for services of our chief executive officer. 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, professional fees increased by $18,265, or 10%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was attributable to an increase in accounting fees of $35,000 related to outsourced accounting services as a result of the resignation of our former outsourced chief financial officer as discussed above, an increase in auditing fee of $1,420 and increase in consulting fee of $24,349 related to marketing and advisory services related to our new NFID clothing product line, offset by a decrease in legal fees of $42,504 related to a 2017 possible private placement and acquisition activities.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, insurance expense increased by $409, or 1%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded bad debt of $50,000 related to the recording of an allowance for doubtful accounts related to a note receivable deemed uncollectible offset by the receipt of proceeds of $15,000 from the collection of previously written off a convertible debt investment. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we wrote off interest receivable of $62,910 deemed uncollectable.

General and administrative expenses consist of non-cash amortization expense of intangible assets, transfer agent fees, custodian fees, bank service charges, and other fees and expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2018, general and administrative expenses increased by $46,513, or 157%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in travel expense of $9,388, an increase in non-cash amortization expense of $17,550, an increase in royalty expense related to a Brand Ambassador agreement of $5,833, and an increase in other fees and expenses of $13,742.

At December 31, 2018, based on management’s impairment analysis, we recorded an impairment loss of $99,412 due to the write off the remaining unamortized carrying value of our intangible asset of $87,745 and the remaining prepaid expense of $11,667 related to the Brand Ambassador Agreements. We determined that there was a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which this long-lived asset was being used.

Loss from Operations:

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, loss from operations amounted to $594,242 and $490,871, respectively, an increase of $103,371, or 21%. The increase was primarily a result of the changes in operating expenses discussed above.

Other (Expenses) Income:

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we earned interest income of $4,218 and $20,483, primarily resulting from interest earned on convertible debt and other debt, and on bank deposits. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in income-earning investments.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we disposed of or permanently impaired certain equity investments recognizing a net realized loss of $100,759 as compared to $85,170 for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $15,589 or 18%. For the year ended December 31, 2018, net realized loss of equity investments was attributed to a net realized gain of $616,941 from sale of two investments offset by net realized loss of $717,700 due to the expiration of warrants and permanent impairment of certain debentures, warrants and non-marketable equity securities.

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had a cost basis in our portfolio companies of $45,336 and $876,358, respectively, with a fair market value of $215,528 and $1,320,229, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized a net change in unrealized (loss) gain on investments of $(278,680) as compared to $912,094 for the year ended December 31, 2017, a change of $1,190,774 or 131%. The change was attributed to our analysis of the fair value of our investment in Ipsidy, Inc. coupled with the reversal of previously recorded unrealized gains upon sales of Ipsidy common shares for which we recorded an unrealized loss on investments of ($991,380), offset by the permanent write down of nonmarketable securities resulting in the reversal of previously recorded unrealized losses for which we recorded an unrealized gain of $712,700.

Net (Loss) Income:

For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, net (loss) income amounted to $(969,463) or $(0.02) per common share (basic and diluted), and $356,536 or $0.01 per common share (basic and diluted), respectively, a change of $1,325,999, or 372%. The change was primarily a result of the changes in expenses discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had a working capital of $578,002 and $336,679 in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2018 and working capital of $1,603,042 and $294,591 in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2017.

The decrease in working capital was primarily attributable to a decrease in current assets of $1,025,040 primarily attributable to a decrease in equity investments, at fair value, offset by an increase in current liabilities of $9,632.

Cash Flows

A summary of cash flow activities is summarized as follows:

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities:

Net cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities was $272,637 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $(284,618) for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $557,255.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash flow used in investing activities was $250,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2017. On September 28, 2018, we and the Seller executed a two-year promissory note receivable agreement with a principal balance of $200,000 of which $100,000 was funded to the Seller in September 2018 and the remaining $100,000 was funded in October 2018. The terms of the promissory note include an interest rate of 6% and we shall be repaid in interest only payments on a quarterly basis, until the maturity date of September 27, 2020, at which time the full principal and any interest payments will be due to the Company. At the time the promissory note receivable agreement was executed, we also executed a Security Interest and Pledge Agreement with the borrower. Pursuant to the Security Interest and Pledge Agreement, the borrower has pledged all of the assets of its company as security for the performance of the note obligations. As of December 31, 2018, we recorded a note receivable of $200,000 related to the promissory note receivable agreement. On November 2, 2018, we and Seller entered into a Promissory Note Agreement with a principal balance of $50,000. Pursuant to this Promissory Note, the $50,000 note was a deposit and credit towards the acquisition of the assets of Lust for Life Group such as inventory, trademarks and logos. Pursuant to this promissory note agreement, since the purchase did not close within 30 days from the note date, the note receivable became immediately due. The outstanding principal balance bears interest at an annual interest rate of 10% payable on a monthly basis. As of December 31, 2018, the Company determined that the collection of this note receivable was doubtful and accordingly, recorded an allowance for doubtful account and bad debt expense of $50,000 as discussed above on net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $19,451 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we received net proceeds from the sale of common stock of $24,500 offset by payments made for the redemption of common stock of $2,872 and repayment of an insurance finance loan of $2,177.

Cash Requirements

We believe that our existing available cash will enable us to meet the working capital requirements for at least 12 months from the date of this report.

Our primary uses of cash have been for salaries, fees paid to third parties for professional services, and general and administrative expenses. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in changes in our liquidity over the near to long term:

Although we believe that our existing available cash will enable us to meet our working capital requirements for at least 12 months from the date of this report, we may need to raise additional funds to for the development and marketing of our recently acquitted NFID product line. If we are unable to raise capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our product development and marketing activities, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results, cease our operations entirely, in which case, you will lose all of your investment.

Management cannot provide assurance that we will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. We will seek to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund operations, for product development and for marketing in the future. If we are unable to raise capital or secure lending in the near future, management expects that the Company may need to curtail its operations. 

Until such time as we generate substantial product revenue to offset operational expenses, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of public and private equity offerings and debt financing. We may be unable to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed or on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition. We have no agreements or arrangements to raise capital.

We currently have no material commitments for any capital expenditures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, (“U.S. GAAP”).

Effective September 29, 2018, following authorization by our shareholders, we withdrew our previous election to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. Prior to such time, we were a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that had elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act.

As a result of this change in status, commencing September 29, 2018, we shall now report as a corporation for accounting purposes under Regulation S-X.

As a result of this change in status, we discontinued applying the guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 - Financial Services – Investment Company and shall account for the change in our status prospectively by accounting for our equity investments in accordance with ASC Topics 320 - Investments—Debt and Equity Securities as of the date of the change in status. Additionally, the presentation of the financial statements will be that of a commercial company rather than that of an investment company.

In accordance with ASC 946, we are making this change to our financial reporting prospectively, and not restating periods prior to our change in status to a non-investment company effective September 29, 2018, Accordingly, in this report, we may refer to both accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to corporations (Corporation Accounting), which applies commencing September 29, 2018 and to that applicable to investment companies under the 1940 Act (Investment Company Accounting) which applies to prior periods. However, pursuant to ASC 205 – Presentation of Financial Statements, Section 205-10-50-1, “Changes Affecting Comparability”, certain amounts in the 2017 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications primarily effect the presentation of revenues and expenses in the statements of operations and presentation of assets in the balance sheet. Additionally, the schedules of investments are not presented for 2018 or 2017. We determined that there is no cumulative effect of the change from Investment Company Accounting to Corporation Accounting on periods prior to those presented and that there is no effect on our financial position or results of operations as a result of this change.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

Inventory

Inventory, consisting of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value utilizing the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. A reserve is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected net realizable value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the net realizable value. These reserves shall be recorded based on estimates and included in cost of sales.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Intangible assets consist of a brand ambassador agreement which was being amortized over a period of one year and trademarks which are recorded at cost and have an indefinite useful life and are not amortized.

Securities Transactions

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Securities transactions outside conventional channels, such as private transactions, are recorded as of the date the Company obtains the right to demand the securities purchased or to collect the proceeds from a sale and incurs an obligation to pay for securities purchased or to deliver securities sold, respectively. We record interest and dividend income on an accrual basis beginning on the trade settlement date (the date on which a financial transaction is settled and monies from the transaction have occurred) or the ex-dividend date, respectively, to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. Commissions and other costs associated with transactions involving securities, including legal costs, are included in the cost basis of purchases and deducted from the proceeds of sales.

Equity Investments, at Fair Value

Through September 29, 2018, on a quarterly basis, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), in good faith, determined the fair value of equity investments, at fair value in the following manner:

Equity securities which are listed on a recognized stock exchange are valued at the adjusted closing trade price on the last trading day of the valuation period. For equity securities that carry a restriction inherent to the security, a restriction discount is applied, as appropriate. Investments in warrants are valued at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Investments in securities which are convertible at a date in the future are valued assuming a full conversion into common shares and valued based on the methodology for equity securities described above, or at the respective investment’s face value, whichever is a better indicator of fair value. Investments in unlisted securities are valued using a market approach net of the appropriate discount for lack of marketability.

Investments without a readily determined market value were primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in fair value pricing the Company’s investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors.

Because there is not a readily available market value for some of the investments in its portfolio, the Company valued certain of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s investments differed significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

Subsequent to September 29, 2018, pursuant to ASC 320 – Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, the Company categorizes its equity investments, fair value as a trading security since there is an active market in such equity investment. Trading securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in income (expense). Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis and are included in other income (expense). The Company reviews equity investments for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered.

Net Realized Gains or Losses and Net Change in Unrealized Gains or Losses on Investments

Realized gain or loss is recognized when an investment is disposed of and is computed as the difference between the Company’s cost basis and the net proceeds received from such disposition. Net change in unrealized gains or losses is computed as the difference between the fair value of the investment and the cost basis of such investment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements 

The Company uses the guidance of ASC Topic 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Equity investments, at fair value

The Company accounted for certain equity investments at fair value using level 1, level 2 and level 3 valuations. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at December 31, 2018 and 2017:

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

At December 31, 2017, the Company’s equity investments, at fair value, consisted of loans and equity instruments issued by public and privately-held companies, including convertible debt, loans, equity warrants and preferred and common equity securities. At December 31, 2018, equity investments, at fair value consisted of common equity securities.

Equity investments, at fair value are treated as trading securities and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in income (expense). Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis and are included in other income (expense). The Company reviews equity investments, at fair value for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered.

The following are the Company’s equity investments, at fair value owned by levels within the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2018:

Through September 29, 2018, on a quarterly basis, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, in good faith, determined the fair value of investments in the following manner:

Equity securities which are listed on a recognized stock exchange are valued at the closing trade price on the last trading day of the valuation period. For equity securities that carry a restriction inherent to the security, a restriction discount is applied, as appropriate. Investments in warrants are valued at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on inputs such as stock volatility, risk-free interest rates, holding period and dividend yield. Investments in securities which are convertible at a date in the future are valued assuming a full conversion into common shares and valued based on the methodology for equity securities described above, or at the respective investment’s face value, whichever is a better indicator of fair value. Investments in unlisted securities are valued using a market approach net of the appropriate discount for lack of marketability.

Investments without a readily determined market value were primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that we may take into account in fair value pricing our investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors.

Because there is not a readily available market value for some of the investments in its portfolio, we valued substantially all of our portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by our board of directors, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of our investments differed significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If we were required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it.

Subsequent to September 29, 2018, we categorize our investment in marketable equity instruments as a trading security since there is an active market in such equity investment. Trading securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in income (expense). Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis and are included in other income (expense). We review equity investments for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered.

Revenue Recognition

The Company applies Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 and ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASU 2014-09, as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic, establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach, which requires applying the new standard to all existing contracts not yet completed as of the effective date and recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have any impact on the process for, timing of, and presentation and disclosure of revenue recognition from contracts.

We record interest and dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that we expect to collect such amounts. We do not accrue as a receivable interest on debt or dividend of preferred shares for accounting purposes if there is reason to doubt the ability to collect such interest.

Income Taxes

Through March 31, 2017, we elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code and operated in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs.

In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, we were required to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid federal excise taxes, we must have distributed annually at least 98% of our ordinary income and 98.2% of net capital gains from the current year and any undistributed ordinary income and net capital gains from the preceding years. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. If we chose to do so, all other things being equal, this would have increased expenses and reduce the amount available to be distributed to stockholders. We were required to accrue excise tax on estimated undistributed taxable income as required. Additionally, if more than 25% of our total assets is invested in the securities of one entity, we would not meet the diversification tests in order to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes.

Since March 31, 2017, we failed this diversification test since our investment in IPSIDY INC. (formerly ID Global Solutions Corporation) (“IDTY”) accounted for over 25% of our total assets. As of the December 31, 2018 and as of the date of this report, we had not cured the failure to retain our status as a RIC and we will not retain our RIC status. Accordingly, beginning in 2017, we are subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates. The loss of our status as a RIC did not have any impact on our financial position or results of operations. 

Effective in 2017, we account for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards. Additionally, the accounting standards require the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets, including those related to the net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes as compared to financial statement purposes, are dependent upon future taxable income and timing of reversals of future taxable differences along with any other positive and negative evidence during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or are utilized.

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of:

Point Capital, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Point Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, 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, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $969,463 in 2018, has no revenues in 2018 and has an accumulated deficit of $1,642,510, at December 31, 2018. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s Plans in regard to these matters, is 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 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 the 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 the standards of the PCAOB. 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 error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Point Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of New York on July 13, 2010. On January 24, 2013, the Company changed its state of incorporation from New York to Delaware.

On October 4, 2013, the Company filed a Form N-54A and elected to become a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, the Company previously elected to be treated for federal income tax purpose as a regulated investment company, or (“RIC”), under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (the “Code”). At March 31, 2017, the Company determined that it failed the RIC diversification test since one of the Company’s investments accounted for approximately 78% of the Company’s total assets. To correct the failure, the Company needed to dispose of the asset causing the failure within six months of the end of the quarter in which it identified the failure and the Company would have had to pay an excise tax of $50,000. The Company did not cure its failure to retain its status as a RIC and the Company will not seek to obtain RIC status again. Accordingly, the Company is subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates.

The Company’s investment objective was to provide current income and capital appreciation. The Company intended to accomplish its objective by investing in the common stock, preferred stock, warrants and convertible notes of small and mid-cap companies. The Company’s investments were made principally through direct investments in prospective portfolio companies.  However, the Company also purchased securities in private secondary transactions. The Company to a lesser extent also invested in private companies that met its investment objectives. Through September 29, 2018, the Company met the definition of an investment company in accordance with the guidance under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”

On September 29, 2018, the Company filed Form N-54C, Notification of Withdrawal of election to be Subject to Section 55 through 65 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, whereas the Company has changed the nature of its business so as to cease to be a business development company (See Note 2 – Basis of Presentation).

As a BDC, the Company’s investment activities were managed by Eric Weisblum, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

On September 29, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Blind Faith Concepts Holdings, Inc. a Nevada corporation (the “Seller”) whereby the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the assets of “NFID” from the Seller (See Note 3). The Company plans to develop NFID as an exclusive brand of apparel consisting initially of sweatshirts, hoodies, pants, t-shirts, and hats.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

Effective September 29, 2018, following authorization by its shareholders, the Company withdrew its previous election to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act. Prior to such time, the Company was a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that had elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act.

The Company shall discontinue applying the guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946 - Financial Services – Investment Company and shall account for the change in its status prospectively by accounting for its equity investments in accordance with ASC Topics 320 - Investments—Debt and Equity Securities as of the date of the change in status. Additionally, the presentation of the financial statements will be that of a commercial company rather than that of an investment company.

POINT CAPITAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

In accordance with ASC 946, the Company is making this change to it financial reporting prospectively, and not restating periods prior to the Company’s change in status to a non-investment company effective September 29, 2018. Accordingly, in this report, the Company refers to both accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to corporations (Corporation Accounting), which applies commencing September 29, 2018 and to that applicable to investment companies under the 1940 Act (Investment Company Accounting) which applies to prior periods. However, pursuant to ASC 205 – Presentation of Financial Statements, Section 205-10-50-1, “Changes Affecting Comparability”, certain amounts in the 2017 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications primarily effect the presentation of revenues and expenses in the statements of operations and presentation of assets in the balance sheet. Additionally, the schedules of investments are not presented for 2018 or 2017. The Company determined that there is no cumulative effect of the change from Investment Company Accounting to Corporation Accounting on periods prior to those presented and that there is no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations as a result of this change.

In order to maintain its status as a non-investment company, the Company will now operate so as to fall outside the definition of an “investment company” or within an applicable exception. The Company expects to continue to operate outside the definition of an “investment company” as a company primarily engaged in the business of developing and selling apparel products.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $969,463 for the year ended December 31, 2018.  Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,642,510 at December 31, 2018 and has not generated any revenues under its new business plan. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. The Company is seeking to raise capital through additional debt and/or equity financings to fund its operations in the future. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future to fund its business plan, management expects that the Company will need to curtail its operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Significant estimates during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 include the collectability of notes receivable, the valuation of the Company’s equity investments, amortization period and valuation of intangibles, the estimates for obsolete inventory, the fair value of assets acquired, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and the fair value of shares issued for assets acquired. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 or by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) up to $250,000. During 2018 and 2017, the Company had cash balances exceeding the FDIC and SIPC insurance limit on interest bearing accounts. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents of $336,679 and $294,591 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had approximately $86,700 and $44,600, respectively, of cash in excess of FDIC limits.

POINT CAPITAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

Notes Receivable

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on notes receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current note receivable aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized as general and administrative expense.

Inventory

Inventory, consisting of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value utilizing the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. A reserve is established when management determines that certain inventories may not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected net realizable value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the net realizable value. These reserves shall be recorded based on estimates and included in cost of sales.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Intangible assets consist of a brand ambassador agreement which was being amortized over a period of one year and trademarks which are recorded at cost and have an indefinite useful life and are not amortized.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $87,745 related to the impairment of the brand ambassador agreement.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. At December 31, 2018, based on management’s impairment analysis, the Company wrote off the remaining unamortized carrying value of its intangible asset related to the brand ambassador agreement, management determined that there was a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which this long-lived asset was being used.

Securities Transactions

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Securities transactions outside conventional channels, such as private transactions, are recorded as of the date the Company obtains the right to demand the securities purchased or to collect the proceeds from a sale, and incurs an obligation to pay for securities purchased or to deliver securities sold, respectively. The Company records interest and dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts. Commissions and other costs associated with transactions involving securities, including legal costs, are included in the cost basis of purchases and deducted from the proceeds of sales.

Equity Investments, at Cost

Equity investments, at cost of $12,766 at December 31, 2018, comprised mainly of non-marketable capital stock and stock warrants, are recorded at cost, as adjusted for other than temporary impairment write-downs and are evaluated for impairment periodically. Prior to September 29, 2018, equity investments, at cost were recorded at fair value, represented as cost, plus or minus unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The fair value of equity investments, at cost that had no ready market were determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, based upon the financial condition and operating performance of the underlying investee companies as well as general market trends for businesses in the same industry. Included in the equity investments, at fair value were non-marketable securities of $467,066 at December 31, 2017.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

Equity Investments, at Fair Value

Through September 29, 2018, on a quarterly basis, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), in good faith, determined the fair value of equity investments, at fair value in the following manner:

Equity securities which are listed on a recognized stock exchange are valued at the adjusted closing trade price on the last trading day of the valuation period. For equity securities that carry a restriction inherent to the security, a restriction discount is applied, as appropriate. Investments in warrants are valued at fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Investments in securities which are convertible at a date in the future are valued assuming a full conversion into common shares and valued based on the methodology for equity securities described above, or at the respective investment’s face value, whichever is a better indicator of fair value. Investments in unlisted securities are valued using a market approach net of the appropriate discount for lack of marketability.

Investments without a readily determined market value were primarily valued using a market approach, an income approach, or both approaches, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities (including a business). The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that the Company may take into account in fair value pricing the Company’s investments include, as relevant: available current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, and enterprise values, among other factors.

Because there is not a readily available market value for some of the investments in its portfolio, the Company valued certain of its portfolio investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board, as described herein. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s investments differed significantly from the values that would have been used had a readily available market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. Further, such investments are generally subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities. If the Company was required to liquidate a portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, the Company could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company has recorded it.

Subsequent to September 29, 2018, pursuant to ASC 320 – Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, the Company categorizes its equity investments, fair value as an available for sale security since there is an active market in such equity investment. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in income (expense). Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis and are included in other income (expense). The Company reviews equity investments for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered.

Net Realized Gain or Loss and Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation or Depreciation of Equity Investments, at Fair Value

Realized gain or loss is recognized when an investment is disposed of and is computed as the difference between the Company’s cost basis and the net proceeds received from such disposition.  Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined by specific identification. Net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is computed as the difference between the fair value of the investment and the cost basis of such investment, including any reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation/depreciation when gains or losses are realized.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

Revenue Recognition

The Company applies Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 and ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASU 2014-09, as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic, establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach, which requires applying the new standard to all existing contracts not yet completed as of the effective date and recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have any impact on the process for, timing of, and presentation and disclosure of revenue recognition from contracts and there was no cumulative effect adjustment.

The Company records interest and dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts.

Income Taxes

Through March 31, 2017, the Company elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operated in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs.

At March 31, 2017, the Company failed this diversification test since the Company’s investment in IPSIDY INC. (formerly ID Global Solutions Corporation) (“IDTY”) accounted for over 25% of the Company’s total assets. This discrepancy was not caused by the acquisition of any security. The failure was not a result of willful neglect. The Company did not cure its failure to retain its status as a RIC and the Company does not intend to seek to obtain RIC status again. Accordingly, beginning in 2017, the Company is subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates. The loss of the Company’s status as a RIC did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in-capital in excess of par or accumulated net realized loss, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Temporary and permanent differences are primarily attributable to differences in the tax characterization of income or loss and any non-deductible expenses. These differences are generally determined in conjunction with the preparation of the Company’s annual tax returns.

Beginning in 2017, deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates, which are expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current, depending upon the classification of the asset or liabilities to which they relate. Deferred tax assets and liabilities not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. 

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), a tax reform bill which, among other items, reduces the current federal income tax rate to 21% from 34%. The rate reduction is effective January 1, 2018, and is permanent. The Act has caused the Company’s deferred income taxes to be revalued. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through income tax expense. Pursuant to the guidance within SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), as of December 31, 2017, the Company recognized the provisional effects of the enactment of the Act for which measurement could be reasonably estimated. Since the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the revaluation of the deferred tax assets did not have a material impact on any period presented. The ultimate impact of the Act may differ from these estimates due to the Company’s continued analysis or further regulatory guidance that may be issued as a result of the Act.

Net (Loss) Income per Common Share

Basic (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the as-if converted method. Potentially dilutive securities which included convertible preferred shares are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding if they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net losses. The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share:

The following potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2018:

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION

On September 29, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with Blind Faith Concepts Holdings, Inc. a Nevada Corporation (the “Seller”) whereby the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the assets of “NFID” from the Seller which consisted of three trademarks related to the NFID brand, the NFID website, shoe designs and samples, and the assumption of a one-year Brand Ambassador Agreement in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of common capital stock of the Company. NFID is a recently developed unisex apparel brand. The Company plans on continuing product development to fully launch the product. The Company’s acquisition of the NFID assets gives the Company access to the growing market for unisex products. 

POINT CAPITAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

As a result of the APA, the Company has elected to no longer be deemed a “Business Development Company” as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended from time to time (the “Act”). The withdrawal was generally approved by the shareholders of the Company on April 11, 2017, as evidenced on the Definitive Information Statement pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed on June 5, 2017. The Board, under authority granted by the shareholders, approved the withdrawal on September 27, 2018. On September 28, 2018, the Company filed Form N-54C, officially withdrawing its election to be subject to sections 55 through 65 of the Act.

Pursuant to ASU 2017-01 and ASC 805, the Company analyzed the ASA to determine if the Company acquired a business or acquired assets. Based on this analysis, it was determined that the Company acquired assets. Pursuant to the terms of the APA, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common capital stock of the Company in exchange for 100% of the NFID assets. The shares were valued at $152,235, or $0.08 per share, the fair value of the Company’s common stock based on the fair value of assets acquired. No goodwill should be recorded since the APA was accounted for as an asset purchase.

The relative fair value of the assets acquired were based on management’s estimates of the fair values on September 29, 2018. Based upon the purchase price allocation, the following table summarizes the estimated relative fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition: 

The Company valued the three trademarks acquired at their historical cost of $29,440 which approximates fair market value. The Company valued the Brand Ambassador Agreement at $105,295 using the estimated fair value of required social media posts by the artist/singer Max Schneider, known as Max (“MAX”). MAX is considered a social media influencer with over 600,000 Instagram followers and over 1.5 million YouTube subscribers.

Pursuant to the Brand Ambassador Agreement, the Company will incur a minimum cash payment of $35,000 related to a minimum royalty payment of which $17,500 was paid prior to the Closing Date. The remaining $17,500 is due on January 27, 2019, the six month anniversary of the Effective Date of the Brand Ambassador Agreement.

At December 31, 2018, based on management’s impairment analysis, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $99,412 due to the write off the remaining unamortized carrying value of its intangible asset of $87,745 and the remaining prepaid expense of $11,667 related to the brand ambassador agreements.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company uses the guidance of ASC Topic 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Equity investments, at fair value

The Company accounted for certain equity investments at fair value using level 1, level 2 and level 3 valuations. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows at December 31, 2018 and 2017:

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

At December 31, 2017, the Company’s equity investments, at fair value, consisted of loans and equity instruments issued by public and privately-held companies, including convertible debt, loans, equity warrants and preferred and common equity securities. At December 31, 2018, equity investments, at fair value consisted of common equity securities of one entity.

Equity investments, at fair value are treated as available for sale securities and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in income (expense). Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis and are included in other income (expense). The Company reviews equity investments, at fair value for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered.

The following are the Company’s equity investments, at fair value owned by levels within the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2018:

NOTE 6 – NOTES RECEIVABLE

On September 28, 2018, the Company and the Seller (See Note 3) executed a two year promissory note receivable agreement with a principal balance of $200,000 of which $100,000 was funded to the Seller in September 2018 and the remaining $100,000 was funded in October 2018. The terms of the promissory note include an interest rate of 6% and the Company shall be repaid in interest only payments on a quarterly basis, until the maturity date of September 27, 2020, at which time the full principal and any interest payments will be due to the Company. At the time the promissory note receivable agreement was executed, the Company also executed a Security Interest and Pledge Agreement with the borrower. Pursuant to the Security Interest and Pledge Agreement, the borrower has pledged all of the assets of its company as security for the performance of the note obligations. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has recorded a note receivable of $200,000 related to the promissory note receivable agreement. These loans made are not related to the APA disclosed in Note 3.

On November 2, 2018, the Company and Seller entered into a Promissory Note Agreement with a principal balance of $50,000. Pursuant to the Promissory Note, the $50,000 note was a deposit and credit towards the acquisition of the assets of Lust for Life Group such as inventory, trademarks and logos. Pursuant to this promissory note agreement, since the purchase did not close within 30 days from the note date, the note receivable became immediately due. Through the date of default, the outstanding principal balance bore interest at an annual interest rate of 10% payable on a monthly basis. Upon default, the interest rate increased to 15% per annum. As of December 31, 2018, the Company determined that this note receivable was doubtful and accordingly, recorded an allowance for doubtful account and bad debt expense of $50,000.

NOTE 7 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In connection with an APA (See Note 3), the Company valued the three trademarks acquired at their historical cost of $29,440 which approximated fair market value. The Company valued the Brand Ambassador Agreement at $105,295 using the estimated fair value of required social media posts by the artist/singer Max Schneider, known as Max (“MAX”).

At December 31, 2018, based on management’s impairment analysis, the Company wrote off the remaining unamortized carrying value of its intangible asset related to the brand ambassador agreement and recorded an impairment loss of $87,745. Management determined that there was a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which this long-lived asset was being used. For the year ended December 31, 2018, amortization of intangible assets amounted to $17,550.

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, intangible assets consisted of the following:

NOTE 8 - REDEEMABLE SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

In April 2013, pursuant to a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Preferred Stock Agreement”), the Company issued 4,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) for $400,000. Holders of Preferred Stock vote together with holders of Common Stock on an as-converted basis. Each share of Preferred Stock is currently convertible into 500 shares of common stock at the option of the holder (subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation) based on a conversion formula (the Stated Value, currently $100, divided by the Conversion Rate, currently $0.20.) The Conversion Rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of stock dividends or stock splits or subsequent equity sales at a price lower than the current conversion rate. Each share has a $100 liquidation value. The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on an as-converted basis if paid on Common Stock. 

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder upon the occurrence of certain “triggering events.” In case of a triggering event, the holder has the right to redeem each share held for cash (currently $100/share) or impose a dividend rate on all of the outstanding Preferred Stock at 6% per annum thereafter. A triggering event occurs if the Company fails to deliver certificates representing conversion shares, fails to pay the amount due pursuant to a Buy-In, fails to have available a sufficient number of authorized shares, fails to observe any covenant in the Certificate of Designation unless cured within 30 calendar days, shall be party to a Change in Control Transaction, sustains a bankruptcy event, fails to list or quote its common stock for more than 20 trading days in a twelve-month period, sustains any monetary judgment, writ or similar final process filed against the Company for more than $100,000 and such judgment writ or similar final process shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of 45 calendar days, or fails to comply with the Asset Coverage requirement.

Because certain of these “triggering events” are outside the control of the Company, the Preferred Stock is classified within the temporary equity section of the accompanying balance sheets.

Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Agreement, the Company agreed that as long as the purchasers of its Series A Preferred Stock are holding said shares, the Company would comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act. The Company did not file its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2015 and its quarterly reports for the period ended March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, in a timely manner. The Company is currently not in breach of its agreement to remain current. The purchase agreement does not provide for any immediate consequence or default provision such as a reduction in the conversion price of the Series A Preferred, immediate redemption or the like.

The Preferred Stock has forced conversion rights where the Company may force the conversion of the Preferred Stock if certain conditions are met. The Company may elect to redeem some or all of the outstanding Preferred Stock for the Stated Value (currently $100/share) provided that proper notice is provided to the holders and that a number of conditions (the “Equity Conditions”) have been met.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

If any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding and the Company is a BDC, the Company shall have asset coverage of at least 200% as of the close of business on the last business day of a calendar quarter. If the Company fails to comply with this requirement and it is not cured on a timely basis, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and Delaware law, proceed to redeem a sufficient number of shares of Preferred Stock (at $100/share plus any unpaid dividends and distributions) to meet is asset coverage requirement.

The Company believes the carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for the Preferred Stock of $400,000 approximates the fair market value of such Preferred Stock based on the short-term maturity of these instruments which also equals the redemption value reflected as on the balance sheets.

On March 31, 2017, the Board approved the amendment and restatement of the original Certificate of Designation in order to expressly ensure that holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock have the right to elect at least two directors at all times, have complete priority over any other class as to distribution of assets and payments of dividends, and have equal voting rights with every other outstanding voting stock. On May 11, 2017, the Company filed the amendment and restatement with the State of Delaware.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred stock

The Company has authorized the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value. The Company’s board of directors is authorized at any time, and from time to time, to provide for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to determine the designations, preferences, limitations and relative or other rights of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof. In April 2013, 1,000,000 shares were designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (See Note 8).

Common stock issued for asset acquisition

On September 29, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to an APA (See Note 3), the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

Common stock issued for cash

On December 4, 2018, the Company issued 70,000 shares of its common stock for cash proceeds of $24,500, or $0.35 per share.

Common stock redemption

In December 2018, the Company executed 14 separate Return to Treasury Agreements, whereby certain shareholders holding an aggregate of 28,734,901 shares of common stock of the Company agreed to return a portion of their respective holdings to treasury in exchange for cash payments aggregating $2,872. As a result, the total issued and outstanding number of shares of common stock of the Company was reduced by 28,734,901.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES

Through March 31, 2017, the Company elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and operated in a manner so as to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs.

In order to qualify for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, the Company is required to distribute annually to its stockholders at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code. To avoid federal excise taxes, the Company must distribute annually at least 98% of its ordinary income and 98.2% of net capital gains from the current year and any undistributed ordinary income and net capital gains from the preceding years. The Company, at its discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year distributions and pay a 4% excise tax on this income. Additionally, if more than 25% of the Company’s total assets is invested in the securities of one entity, the Company would not meet the diversification tests in order to qualify as a RIC for federal income tax purposes.

Since March 31, 2017, the Company failed this diversification test since the Company’s investment in IPSIDY INC. (“IDTY”) accounted for over 25% of the Company’s total assets (approximately 78% of total assets at December 31, 2017). This discrepancy was not caused by the acquisition of any security. The failure was not a result of willful neglect. If the Company were to correct the failure, the Company should have disposed of the asset causing the failure within six months of the end of the quarter in which it identified the failure to cure the failure unless the Company would otherwise be in compliance within the six month period and the Company would be required to pay an excise tax of $50,000. As of the December 31, 2017, the Company had not cured its failure to retain its status as a RIC and the Company does not intend to retain its RIC status. Accordingly, for 2018 and 2017, the Company did not qualify as a RIC. In 2018 and 2017, the Company is subject to income taxes at corporate tax rates. The loss of the Company’s status as a RIC did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing its tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are reversed and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had not recorded a liability for any unrecognized tax positions.

Taxable income (loss) generally differs from the change in net income (loss) for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as unrealized gains or losses are not included in taxable income (loss) until they are realized. 

The following reconciles net (loss) income to taxable ordinary loss for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the components of accumulated net losses on a tax basis and a reconciliation to accumulated deficit at December 31, 2018 and accumulated net losses on a book basis at December 31, 2017 was as follows: 

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Effective in 2017, the Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards. Additionally, the accounting standards require the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets, including those related to the net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes as compared to financial statement purposes, are dependent upon future taxable income and timing of reversals of future taxable differences along with any other positive and negative evidence during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or are utilized. The deferred tax assets at December 31, 2017 consist of net operating and capital loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance because of the uncertainty of the attainment of future taxable income and capital gains.

DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), a tax reform bill which, among other items, reduces the current federal income tax rate to 21% from 34%. The rate reduction is effective January 1, 2018, and is permanent. The Act has caused the Company’s deferred income taxes to be revalued. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through income tax expense. Pursuant to the guidance within SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), as of December 31, 2017, the Company recognized the provisional effects of the enactment of the Act for which measurement could be reasonably estimated. Since the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the revaluation of the deferred tax assets did not have a material impact on any period presented. The ultimate impact of the Act may differ from these estimates due to the Company’s continued analysis or further regulatory guidance that may be issued as a result of the Act.

As a result of the reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate, the Company reduced the value of its net deferred tax asset by $89,244 which was recorded as a corresponding reduction to the valuation allowance during the fourth quarter of 2017.

The items accounting for the difference between income taxes at the effective statutory rate and the provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:

The Company’s approximate net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:

At December 31, 2018, the Company had a net capital loss carryforward of approximately $752,289, which can be used to offset future capital gains for a period of five years.

Due to the loss of it RIC status in 2017, any net tax operating losses generated as a RIC cannot be used to offset any future taxable income. As of December 31, 2018, the Company incurred an aggregate estimated net operating loss of approximately $1,060,000 for income taxes, respectively. These net operating loss carries forwards may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income. The 2017 carryforward will expire, if not utilized, through 2037. The 2018 carryforward shall be carried over indefinitely, subject to annual usage limits.

Management believes that it appears more likely than not that the Company will not realize these tax benefits due to the Company’s continuing losses for income taxes purposes. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset benefit related to the U.S. net operating loss and capital loss carry forwards to reduce the asset to zero. Management will review this valuation allowance periodically and make adjustments as necessary.

NOTE 11 – CONCENTRATIONS AND CREDIT RISKS

Financial instruments that subjected the Company to concentrations of market risk consisted principally of equity investments, at fair value, which collectively represented approximately 21.4% and 80.4% of the Company’s total assets at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These investments are valued in accordance with the Company’s fair value policies and procedures. At December 31, 2018, all of the fair value of the Company’s equity investments, at fair value is concentrated in one entity in the biometric technology industry, which gives rise to a risk of significant loss should the performance or financial condition of this industry or the portfolio company deteriorates.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 22, 2019, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a consultant in connection with the Company’s marketing and branding of its NFID products.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of December 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to material weaknesses, which we identified, in our report on internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. Our management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting was based on the 2013 framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which we identified in our internal control over financial reporting:

A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our 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 a simple error or mistake. Additional controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 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; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

This annual report does not include an attestation report by our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. As a smaller reporting company, our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  

None.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Board Independence and Committees

We are not required to have any independent members of the Board of Directors. The board of directors has determined that (i) Eric Weisblum has a relationship with the company which, in the opinion of the board of directors, would not allow him to be considered as an “independent director” as defined in the Marketplace Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market and (ii) Van E. Parker, Leonard Schiller and Joel A. Stone are each an independent director as defined in the Marketplace Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

As the Company was formerly a BDC as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Board of Directors was required to establish an Audit Committee. Although the Company is no longer defined as a BDC, the Company has determined to maintain an Audit Committee. Members of the Audit Committee must be independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The audit committee charter (and any modification thereto) must be maintained and preserved permanently in an easily accessible place and is available on our website at www.pointcapital.com.

The Board of Directors must determine whether the Audit Committee has at least one member who is a financial expert. In making this determination, the Board must consider whether the potential financial expert possesses five distinct attributes, which generally relate to that member’s experience with an understanding of financial statements, accounting policies and procedures, internal controls, and Audit Committee functions. The Board must also consider the manner in which the potential expert acquired these attributes. The expert should be an independent director and, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of its Committees, must not accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Company.

The Audit Committee is comprised of Messrs. Van Parker, Committee Chairman, Joel Stone, and Leonard Schiller. The Company considers Mr. Parker a financial expert and an independent director.

The Audit Committee of our Board selected D. Brooks and Associates CPA’s, P.A. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The Audit Committee, in its discretion and subject to approval by our Board, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The Board as a whole carries out the functions of nominating and compensation committees.

Except as may be provided in our bylaws, we do not currently have specified procedures in place pursuant to which whereby security holders may recommend nominees to the Board of Directors.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Business Ethics is incorporated by reference as an exhibit.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our reporting directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of Point Capital, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission. Officers, directors and stockholders holding more than 10% of the class of stock are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file with the Commission.

To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements were complied with by our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders.

The following table provides certain information regarding compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to persons serving as our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer as of the end of fiscal years ended 2018 and 2017 (each a “named executive officer”).
