This increasedecrease was mostly due to a $98,982 increase$102,581 decrease in trade accounts receivables, consisting primarilyreceivable because of monies owed by customersthe timing of payments to Nimbo for products and services sold. These receivables were all subsequently paid within net 30 day terms.
The Company’s current liabilities as of December 31, 20162017 were $1,089,972,$1,847,471, a 46%23% increase over those reported at the end of the 2015.2016. However $239,168$622,766 (or 22%34%) of the Company’s current liabilities, were deferred revenues for sales made in 20162017 which will eventually convert to revenue in 2017.2018. The increase in current portion of the Company’s deferred revenue liabilities increased by $182,368 (or 321%) over the previous year,was mostly due to a significant$199,233 increase in one and three-year service contracts sold in 2016. The Company saw a 42% increase in trade accounts payables,the derivative liabilities due primarily to increasing payables owed by Nimbo Tracking for cellular carrier services and device hardware, reflective of Nimbo’s sales growth. Nimbo’s payables represent 64% of the Company’s payables.

Adequate working capital remains a core requirement for growth and profitability and to facilitate further acquisitions, and the Company continues to work at improving its working capital position through ongoing equity and debt financing and actively managing the Company’s growth to achieve sustainable positive cash flow.
In 2016,2017, the Company raised an additional $325,742$450,000 in equity financing and converted $54,087$50,000 of convertible debentures into shares.

As of December 31, 2016,2017, the Company’s total assets were $766,382,$640,555, a 19% increase16% decrease over the prior year, due primarily to the increasedecrease in current assets previously discussed. The majority of the Company’s assets remain $505,508 in goodwill associated with the acquisition of Nimbo in 2014.
As of December 31, 2016,2017, the Company’s total liabilities were $1,163,957,$2,031,047, which reflects the sole addition of $73,985$183,576 in long-term deferred revenue to the $1,089,972$1,847,471 in current liabilities previously discussed. This long-term deferred revenue is the portion of service contracts signed in 20162017 for which service, and the associated revenue recognition, occurs beyond 2017.2018. Total liabilities increased by 56%29% over the previous year, however 27%40%, or $313,153$817,342 of the Company’s year-end total liabilities was deferred revenue, compared with only $56,800$726,471 of deferred revenue reported at the end of 2015.

The Company is continuing its efforts to increase its asset base, raise funds, and improve cashflow to improve its working capital position. As of the date these financial statements were issued the Company believes it has adequate working capital and projected net revenues and cash flows to maintain existing operations for approximately twosix months without requiring additional funding. The Company’s business plan is predicated on raising further capital for the purpose of further investment and acquisition of targeted technologies and companies, to fund growth in these technologies and companies, and to expand sales and distribution channels for companies it currently owns or is invested. It is anticipated the Company will continue to raise additional capital through private placements or other means in the both the near and medium term.
The reader is cautioned that the Company’s belief in the adequacy of its working capital, the continuation and growth of future revenue, the ability of the Company to operate any stated period without additional funding, and the ability to successfully raise capital are forward looking statements for which actual results may vary, to the extent that the company may need capital earlier than anticipated and/or may not be able to raise additional capital.

Revenues and Net Income (Loss)
Revenues
For the year period ended December 31, 2016,2017, the Company had revenues of $1,143,117,$1,347,059, a record for the Company, and a 10%an 18% increase over the revenue reported for same period in 2015.2016. However, this is not reflective of the actual total sales growth of the Company, as $313,153$817,342 of the Company’s 20162017 revenue was deferred (compared with only $56,800$726,471 in 2015)2016). Including new deferred revenues the Company saw total sales growth year on year of 33%15%.
Service-only revenues increased by 81%58% to $236,882$375,344 and hardware-only and hardware/software bundled sales remained flatincreased by 7% at $906,235. However the service-only revenues reported do not include the $313,153 in deferred revenues, and do not reflect the actual growth in service sales. Total new service sales in 2016 (net deferred revenues reported in 2015) were $493,235, an increase of 163% over total service sales of $187,483 in 2015.
Increased revenue deferrals for services contracts in 20162017 are due to the Company implementing a pricing model based on initial lower margin sales of services and hardware that is pre-loaded in automotive dealership lots, with follow-on high margin service revenues generated by subsequent sell-through to end customers. Delivery of the initial sales under this model were completed in Q3 2016 and continued through Q4 2016 and into 2017. High-margin sell through of services began to materialize in Q3 2016, leading to increased invoicing and cash flow, but also increased deferred revenues. The Company anticipates this pricing, margin, and revenue recognition model will continue to grow through 2017.
Costs of goods sold for 20162017 were $748,378,$863,827, a marginal 4%15% increase over 2015.2016. These costs are primarily mobile hardware and cellular carrier costs.
The resulting annual gross profit was $394,739,$483,232, a record for the Company, representing growth of 24%22% year on year. Gross margin percentage for the year improved from 31%35% to 35%36%.
Though the Company was able to increase revenues, gross profit, and gross margins year on year, we continue to review hardware vendor, inventory, and order fulfillment strategies as well as product and service pricing models to continually improve overall margins.

However, the expenses reported in 2015 included a total of $684,775 in non-cash debt write-downs, stock based compensation and depreciation, for which the Company only reported $65,104 in 2016. The Company did see a total increase in expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 was due to the increase in stock-based compensation of 26%$85,962 and payroll and related of $201,173, along with general increases in management fees, salaries,other expenses due to increased overall sales and consulting fees of $163,821 in 2016, commensurate with the Company’s further investment in sales, operations, management, and investor relations.

Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which imply the Company will continue to realize its assetsas of and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, on the ability of the Company to grow its revenue base, on its ability to successfully grow the companies in which it is invested, and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to both support the latter objectives and to invest in and grow new companies. The Company has recurring losses since inception, and incurred a net loss of $836,758 duringfor the year ended December 31, 2017 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced recurring losses from operations, has negative operating cash flows during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and had accumulated losses of $8,512,310 andhas a working capital deficit of $836,483$1,715,277 and an accumulated deficit of $10,223,288 as atof December 31, 2016.2017, and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regardingabout the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be realized, management believes thatUltimately, the Company will be ableplans to continueachieve profitable operations intothrough the future. Theseincrease in revenue base and successfully grow its operations organically or through acquisitions. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary shouldresult from the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basic of Presentation and Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements and related notes include the records of the Company and the followingCompany’s wholly-owned subsidiaries:
All inter-companyintercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. These consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), are expressed in U.S. dollars, and, in management’s opinion, have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these
consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of issuanceacquisition to be cash equivalents.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated at the date of the business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. These events and circumstances may include a significant change in legal factors or in the business climate, a significant decline in the Company’s share price, an adverse action of assessment by a regulator, unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, significant disposal activity and the testing of recoverability for a significant asset group.
The impairment testing is carried out in two steps. In the first step, the carrying amount of the reporting unit including goodwill is compared with its fair value. When the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered to be impaired and the second step is necessary.
If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the goodwill, a loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the goodwill. Establishing an implied fair value of goodwill requires the Company to make estimates for key inputs into complex valuation models and to apply significant judgment in the selection of estimates, assumptions and methodologies required to complete the analysis. Areas of judgment include, but are not limited to, development of multi-year business cash flow forecasts, the selection of discount rates, and the identification and valuation of unrecorded assets.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in the circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the total of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset during the year the impairment occurs. Subsequent expenditure relating to an item of office equipment is capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefits from the use of the assets will be increased.
Financial Statements
In accordance with Financial Accounting Policies (continued)
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
F-7 |
Table of Contents |
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair values of cash, accounts and other receivables, restricted cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs and the fair value of derivative liabilities is determined based on “Level 2”3” inputs. The recorded values of notes payable, approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility to these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consists of cash. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
The Company derives revenue from the sale of devices and services provided in relation to vehicle tracking and recovery. In accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”“Revenue Recognition”, revenue is recognized when, specifically when all the following conditions are met:
There is clear evidence that an arrangement exists; |
Services are provided or products are delivered to customers; |
Amounts are fixed or can be determined; |
The ability to collect is reasonably assured; |
There is no significant obligation for future |
The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated. |
Management assesses the business environment, customers’ financial condition, historical collection experience, accounts receivable aging, and customer disputes to determine whether collectability is reasonably assured. If collectability is not considered reasonably assured at the time of sale, the Company does not recognize revenue until collection occurs.
The Company has determined that the sale of our vehicle tracking device and 2015,related service is considered one unit of accounting and the Company hadrevenue related to the sale is deferred revenuesand recognized over the service term, typically one year.
Revenue relating to annualthe sale of service renewal fees on its vehicle tracking and recovery services. Annualservices is recognized over the life of the contract. The service renewal fees are offered in terms ranging from 12 to 36 months and are generally payable in full upon renewal.
Any revenue that has been deferred and is expected to be recognized beyond one year is classified as long-term deferred revenue.
Financing Costs and Debt Discount
Financing costs and debt discounts are recorded net of notes payable and convertible debentures in the consolidated balances sheet. Amortization of financing costs and the debt discounts is calculated using the effective interest method over the term of the debt and is recorded as a component of deferred revenueinterest expense in the
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided on the asset and liability method whereby deferred income tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred income tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign“Foreign Currency Translation Matters”Matters”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets, liabilities and items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
Assets and liabilities of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Exchange differences arising on translation are disclosed as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”,estimated fair values of employee stock option grants are determined as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This method incorporates the fair value method.of our common stock at the date of each grant and various assumptions such as the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility based on the historic volatility of publicly-traded peer companies, expected dividend yield, and expected term of the options. The estimated fair values of restricted stock awards are determined based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. The estimated fair values of stock-based awards, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, are expensed over the requisite service period, which is generally the awards’ vesting period. We classify stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified.
Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the guidance of ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
Loss Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted earnings per share give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible preferred stock,debentures, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted earnings (loss) per share, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted earnings (loss) per share exclude all
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”“Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the consolidated financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2016,2017, and 2015,2016, comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation gains and losses.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". This new standard will replace most of the existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The new standards, and amendments to standards and interpretations, arestandard, as amended, becomes effective in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, but allows the adoption of the standard one year earlier. The Company has not yet effectiveselected a transition method and is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance in ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. This new guidance was initiated as a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board to simplify lease accounting and improve the quality of and comparability of financial information for users. This new guidance would eliminate the concept of off-balance sheet treatment for “operating leases” for lessees for the vast majority of lease contracts. Under ASU No. 2016-02, at inception, a lessee must classify all leases with a term of over one year endedas either finance or operating, with both classifications resulting in the recognition of a defined “right-of-use” asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. However, recognition in the income statement will differ depending on the lease classification, with finance leases recognizing the amortization of the right-of-use asset separate from the interest on the lease liability and operating leases recognizing a single total lease expense. Lessor accounting under ASU No. 2016-02 would be substantially unchanged from the previous lease requirements under GAAP. ASU No. 2016-02 will take effect for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2016,15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and have not been applied in preparing thesedetermined the impact this standard may have on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Restricted Cash”, which updates the guidance as to how restricted cash should be presented and classified. The updates are intended to reduce diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects the implementation of this standard to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as the Company had restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheet of $25,000 as of December 31, 2017, and currently do not present the amount as a cash equivalent in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)ASU No. 2017-04,
The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

(b) | As |
(c) | On March 23, 2017, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a third party for a principal amount of $8,695, which includes a one-time loan fee of $695, which was charged to interest expense. The note payable is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and requires minimum payments of 10% of the loan every ninety days from the start date of March 26, 2017. 25% of all funds processed through the Company’s PayPal account will be used to pay off the loan until the loan is repaid in full. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the balance of the note payable was $2,626 and $0, respectively. |
8.Convertible Debentures
(a) | On June 1, 2016, the Company issued two convertible debentures in the principal amounts of $37,577 (Cdn$50,000) and $15,031 (Cdn$20,000), respectively. Under the terms of the debentures, the amounts were unsecured, bore interest at 15% per annum, payable monthly or at term, and were due on the four month anniversary of the closing dates of June 8, 2016 (i.e. October 8, 2016). Subject to the approval of the holder of the convertible debentures, the Company may convert any or all of the principal and/or interest at any time following the four month anniversary of the issuance date of the convertible debentures into common shares of the Company at a price per share equal to a 20% discount to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. |
The Company analyzed the conversion option under ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“ASC 815”), and determined that the conversion feature should be classified as a liability and recorded at fair value due to there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the conversion option. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company recognized the estimated fair value of the embedded conversion feature of $26,306. On October 8, 2016, the note became convertible resulting in the Company recording a derivative liability of $26,306 with a corresponding adjustment to loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities. On October 13, 2016, the Company issued 512,880 shares of common stock for the full conversion of $54,087 (Cdn$70,000) of these debentures and $2,941 (Cdn$3,855) of accrued interest (see Note 11). During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company amortized $26,306 of the debt discount to accretion of discount on convertible debentures expense. |
(b) | On March 30, 2017, the Company issued a convertible debenture to a third party in the principal amount of $50,000 which is unsecured, bears interest at 12% per annum, calculated monthly, and was due on September 30, 2017, and is now due on demand. Subject to the approval of the holder of the convertible debenture, the Company may convert any or all of the principal and/or interest at any time following the six month anniversary of the issuance date of the convertible debenture (September 30, 2017) into common shares of the Company at a price per share equal to a 20% discount to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The estimated fair value of the derivative liability resulted in a discount to the convertible debenture of $32,127, which was accreted over the term of the convertible debenture. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, $32,127 and $0, respectively, of amortization expense was recorded. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying value of the convertible debenture is $50,000 and $0, respectively. |

The holder may convert any or all of the principal and/or interest at any time following the six month anniversary of the issuance date of the convertible debenture (February 7, 2018) into common shares of the Company at a price per share equal to 75% multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock preceding the trading day that the Company receives a notice of conversion. The estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities of $153,827 resulted in a discount to the convertible debenture, which will be amortized over the term of the convertible debenture.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying value of the convertible debenture is $8,001 and $0, respectively. |
9.Derivative Liabilities
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued share purchase warrants as part of private placements with exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars, which differs from the Company’s functional currency of U.S. dollars (Note 12) and cannot be considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock. The Company records the fair value of its share purchase warrants with a Cdn$ exercise price in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.815. The fair value of the derivative liabilities is revalued on each balance sheet date with corresponding gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statementstatements of operations. As atof December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had a derivative liability of $7,642 and $27,930, (2015 - $33,982)respectively, relating to the share purchase warrants. The Company uses a multi-nominal lattice model to fair value the derivative liabilities. The following inputs and assumptions were used to value the share purchase warrants denominated in Canadian dollars during the yearyears ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, assuming no expected dividends:

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act"). The Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to reduce tax rates and modify policies, credits, and deductions for individuals and businesses. For businesses, the Act reduces the corporate tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21% rate. The rate reduction is effective on January 1, 2018. As a result of the rate reduction, the Company has reduced the deferred tax expense. Net operating losses would create possible tax assets in future years.asset balance as of December 31, 2017 by $720,057. Due to the uncertaintyCompany's full valuation allowance position, there was no net impact on the Company's income tax provision at December 31, 2017 as the reduction in the deferred tax asset balance was fully offset by a corresponding decrease in the valuation allowance.
In conjunction with the Tax Act, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the utilizationTax Act.

Investor Relations Agreement

Per the terms of the agreement, the Company would pay $259,828is to provide to the creditorconsultant the following: cash fee of $2,500 per month; shares of common stock valued at $7,500 (75,000 shares) for the first three months of service; shares of common stock valued at $22,500 (225,000 shares) for months four through twelve.
Indemnities and Guarantees
We have made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which we may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain transactions. We indemnify our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Nevada. The duration of these indemnities and guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. These indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. Historically, we have not been obligated to make any payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Legal Matters
In the ordinary course of business, we may face various claims brought by third parties and may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert our rights, including intellectual property disputes, contractual disputes and other commercial disputes. Any of these claims could subject us to litigation. Management believes there are currently no claims that are likely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

18. Restatement
In connection with the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, management of the Company conducted an analysis of the Company’s sales contracts related to its vehicle tracking device and service (“Sales Contracts”) and concluded they should be considered one unit of accounting and the revenue related to the sale should be deferred and recognized over the service term, typically one year. The Company determined that the original accounting for the Sales Contracts failed to appropriately record the sales proceeds as full repaymentdeferred revenue upon collection and recognized over the service term.
As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded that it was necessary to restate its previously filed consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The need to restate the Company’s consolidated financial statements is primarily due to the incorrect application of U.S. GAAP. The restatement is required to properly reflect the Company’s consolidated financial position as of December 31, 2016.
The effect on the consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2016 is due to the recording of the Sales Contracts in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the year ended December 31, 2016 has been retroactively adjusted by $413,318 with no impact on net loss.
19.Subsequent Events

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures with the participation of all the Company’s executives, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2016.2017. The conclusions of the Company’s principal executives was that the controls and procedures in place were effective such that the information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports was a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and b) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive offer and chief operation officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As of December 31, 2016,2017, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by or under the supervision of the Company’s CEO, COO and CFO (or executives performing equivalent functions) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
· | provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; |
· | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.Framework (2013). Based on that evaluation, they concluded that during the period covered by this report, though there are weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls, given the current size of the organization, such internal controls and procedures as were in place were adequately effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of DecenberDecember 31, 2016,2017, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit our company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 20162017, there was no information required to be reported on Form 8K8-K which was not previously reported.
