Note 1 - Business Organization and Nature of Operations

 

BTCS Inc. (formerly Bitcoin Shop, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in 2008. In February 2014, the Company entered the business of hosting an online ecommerce marketplace where consumers can purchase merchandise using digital currencies, including bitcoin and is currently focused on blockchain and digital currency ecosystems. In January 2015, the Company began a rebranding campaign using its BTCS.COM domain (shorthand for Blockchain Technology Consumer Solutions) to better reflect its broadened strategy. The Company released its new website which included broader information on its strategy. In late 2014 we shifted our focus towards our transaction verification service business, also known as bitcoin mining, though in mid-2016 we ceased our transaction verification services operation at our North Carolina facility due to capital constraints.

 

The Company is an early entrant in the Digital Asset market and one of the first U.S. publicly traded companies to be involved with Digital Assets and blockchain technologies. Subject to additional financing, the Company plans to create a portfolio of digital assets including bitcoin and other “protocol tokens”acquire additional Digital Assets to provide investors a diversified pure-play exposure to thewith indirect ownership of Digital Assets that are not securities, such as bitcoin and blockchain industries.ether. The Company intends to acquire digital assets through:Digital Assets through open market purchases and participating in initial digital asset offerings (often referred to as initial coin offerings).purchases. Additionally, the Company may acquire digital assetsDigital Assets by resuming its transaction verification services business through outsourced data centers and earning rewards in digital assetsDigital Assets by securing their respective blockchains.

Reverse Stock Split We are not limiting our assets to a single type of Digital Asset and Amendmentmay purchase a variety of Digital Assets that appear to Certificatebenefit our investors and/or blockchain, subject to the limitations regarding Digital Securities. The Company is also seeking to acquire controlling interests in businesses in the blockchain industry. We do not intend to operate outside of Incorporation

On February 13, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to implement a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-60. The reverse stock split became effective immediately.Digital Asset and blockchain industries.

 

The Reverse Stock Split reducedCompany has not participated in any initial coin offerings as it believes most of the numberofferings entail the offering of outstanding shares of Common Stock from 952,756,004 sharesDigital Securities and require registration under the Securities Act and under state securities laws, or can only be sold to 15,879,267 shares as of December 31, 2016. All per share amounts and outstanding shares of Common Stock including stock options, restricted stock and warrants,accredited investors in the United States. Since about July 2017, initial coin offerings using Digital Securities have been retroactively adjusted(or should be) limited to accredited investors. Because we cannot qualify as an accredited investor, we do not intend to acquire coins in these consolidatedinitial coin offerings or from purchasers in such offerings. Further, the Company does not intend to participate in registered or unregistered initial coin offerings. The Company will carefully review its purchases of Digital Securities to avoid violating the 1940 Act and seek to reduce potential liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Digital asset blockchains are typically maintained by a network of participants which run servers which secure their blockchain. The market is rapidly evolving and there can be no assurances that we will be competitive with industry participants that have or may have greater resources than us.

The purpose of restatement is to correct errors in the Company’s previously issued financial statements for all periods presentedthe period ended June 30, 2018 in connection with the accounting for digital currencies as intangible assets with indefinite lives and record such digital currencies at cost less impairment, if any. Management determined that the Company’s digital currencies for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were accounted for in error and were overstated by approximately $43,000.

The originally filed accounting policy regarding digital currencies transactions and remeasurement stated that:

“The Company accounts for digital currencies, which it considers to reflectbe an operating asset, at their initial cost and subsequently remeasures the 1-for-60 Reverse Stock Split. Further, exercise pricescarrying amounts of stock optionsdigital currencies it owns at each reporting date based on their current fair value. The changes in the fair value of digital currencies are included as a component of income or loss from operations. The Company currently classifies digital currencies as a current asset. Digital currencies are considered a crypto-currency and warrants havethe Company receives deposits in various kinds of digital currencies including but not limited to bitcoins, litecoins and dogecoins from customer trade transactions.

The Company obtains the equivalency rate of bitcoins to USD from various exchanges including, Bitstamp and Coinbase. The equivalency rate obtained from these sources represents a generally well recognized quoted price in an active market for bitcoins, which market and related database are accessible to the Company on an ongoing basis.”

The updated accounting policy regarding digital currencies transactions and remeasurement state that:

“Digital currencies are included in current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Digital currencies are recorded at cost less impairment.

An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset that is amortized over the remaining useful life of that asset, if any. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted.

Realized gain (loss) on sale of digital currencies is included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.”

Note 23 - Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements, but in the opinion of the Company’s management, reflect all adjustments consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.

 

Note 34 - Liquidity, Financial Condition and Management’s Plans

 

The Company has commenced its planned operations but has limited operating activities to date. The Company has financed its operations since inception using proceeds received from capital contributions made by its officers and proceeds in financing transactions. On May 25, 2017, the Company raised $1 million in cash from four institutional investors in exchange for the issuance of 79,368 of a new class of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C”) and three types of warrants as described below. The 79,368 Series C shares are initially convertible into 15,873,600 shares of common stock. The Series C is convertible at $0.07 per share or approximately $0.063 per share after giving effect to the additional $1,111,111. The Company is subject to a number of customary covenants and a restriction on the incurrence of indebtedness for one year. Within 120 days, the Company agreed to file a registration statement, now pending, which covers the common stock issuable upon exercise of the registrable securities described below. The registration statement covers 47,302,176 shares of common underlying the Series A Warrants, Additional Warrants, and Bonus Warrants. 15,873,600 Series A Warrants exercisable at $0.085 per share over a five-year period; 15,714,288 Additional Warrants exercisable at $0.085 per share over a period which is the earlier of (i) one-year after the effective date of a registration statement covering the warrant shares, or (ii) three years from the date of issuance. The Additional Warrants are callable by the Company for nominal consideration if the common stock trades above $0.17 per share and the daily volume is more than $50,000 for at least 20 trading days; 15,714,288 Bonus Warrants exercisable at $0.17 per share, over a three-year period. The Bonus Warrants are also callable for nominal consideration but the threshold price is more than $0.30 per share. The total gross proceeds raised were $1 million, with net proceeds of $925,114, after deducting the offering expenses. All of these securities, excluding the Bonus Warrants, are subject to price protection.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Notwithstanding, the Company has limited revenues, limited capital resources and is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties that are typical of an early stage enterprise. Significant uncertainties include, among others, whether the Company will be able to raise the capital it needs to finance its longer-term operations and whether such operations, if launched, will enable the Company to sustain operations as a profitable enterprise.

 

Our working capital needs are influenced by our level of operations, and generally decrease with higher levels of revenue. The Company used approximately $1.0$0.3 million of cash in its operating activities for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The Company incurred $45.6$0.4 million net loss for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The Company had cash of approximately $6,000$32,000, digital currencies of approximately $97,000 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $4.8$0.1 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2017, which includes $4.3 million for the fair value of derivative liabilities.2018. The Company expects to incur losses into the foreseeable future as it undertakes its efforts to execute its business plans.

The Company will require significant additional capital to sustain its short-term operations and make the investments it needs to execute its longer-term business plan. The Company’s existing liquidity is not sufficient to fund its operations and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. The Company is currently seeking to obtain additional debt or equity financing, however there are currently no commitments in place for further financing nor is there any assurance that such financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all. See Note 9 – Subsequent Events.

 

Because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flow deficits, and an accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has not made adjustments to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements to reflect the potential effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company continues to incur ongoing administrative and other operating expenses, including public company expenses, in excess of revenues. While the Company continues to implement its business strategy, it intends to finance its activities by:

 

managing current cash and cash equivalents on hand from the Company’s past debt and equity offerings by controlling costs,
  
seeking additional financing through sales of additional securities

 

Note 45 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 20162017 Annual Report.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary BTCS Digital Manufacturing. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Concentration of Cash

 

The Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions in checking accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of threesix months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the Company had approximately $6,000$32,000 and $95,000$303,000 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Derivative InstrumentsRemeasurements

 

The Company accounts for free-standing derivative instruments and hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative featuresDigital currencies are included in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, or ASC 815, as well as related interpretations of this topic. In accordance with this topic, derivative instruments and hybrid instruments are recognized as eithercurrent assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet andsheets. Digital currencies are measuredrecorded at fair valuescost less impairment.

Use of Estimates

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, the valuation of derivative liabilities, and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including the carrying amount of the intangible assets, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Convertible Preferred StockFair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

The Company has evaluated its convertible preferred stockuses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - quoted prices for similar assets and warrantsliabilities in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including consideration of embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation. The issuance of the convertible preferred stock could generate a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debtactive markets or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion optioninputs that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike priceare observable

Level 3 - inputs that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date.are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options (using the treasury stock method) and the conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock and warrants (using the if-converted method).warrants. Diluted loss per share excludes the shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock and the exercise of stock options and warrants from the calculation of net loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The new standard requires lessees to applyeither using the full retrospective approach, a dualmodified retrospective approach classifying leaseswith practical expedients, or a cumulative effect upon adoption approach. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. It is effective prospectively for the annual period ending December 31, 2018 and interim periods within that annual period. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures, but does not expect it to have a significant impact.

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11,Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Both the Series C-1 and Series B Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of future sales of the Company’s equity securities or common stock equivalents at a lower price, subject to elimination of the price protection on the Exchange Date (which is defined and described below).

The investors are three institutional investors who were also investors in the Company’s May 2017 Series C financing (the “May Financing”) and the Australian entity which the Company previously announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent to merge with (the “Proposed Merger”); this investor made its $250,000 investment in bitcoin (59.381 BTC). The Proposed Merger is still pending and subject to the same contingencies previously announced. Further, the Company can provide no assurances or guarantees it will be able to consummate the Proposed Merger. The terms of the Series C-1 and the Series B Warrants are essentially identical to the May Financing, except that the May Financing had three types of warrants rather than one. The offering is continuing up to a maximum of $1,500,000 in cash, bitcoin and/or ethereum.

If the Company files the 10-Q prior to October 24th (as extended) then the escrow agent will release the Remaining Funds to the Company and the Company will have no obligation to return any funds (the “Second Closing”). The Company subsequently received another $100,000 from an institutional investor which was held in escrow until the filing of the 10-Q.

Overview

 

DuringSubject to additional financing, the past year,Company plans to acquire additional Digital Assets to provide investors with indirect ownership of Digital Assets that are not securities, such as bitcoin and ether. The Company intends to acquire Digital Assets through open market purchases. Additionally, the Company may acquire Digital Assets by resuming its transaction verification services business through outsourced data centers and earning rewards in Digital Assets by securing their respective blockchains. We are not limiting our assets to a single type of Digital Asset and may purchase a variety of Digital Assets that appear to benefit our investors and/or blockchain, subject to the limitations contained within this report regarding Digital Securities. The Company is also seeking to acquire controlling interests in businesses in the blockchain industry as further described in this report. We do not intend to operate outside of the Digital Asset and blockchain industries.

The Company has not participated in any initial coin offerings as it believes most of the offerings entail the offering of Digital Securities and require registration under the Securities Act and under state securities laws or can only be sold to accredited investors in the United States. Since about July 2017, initial coin offerings using Digital Securities have been (or should be) limited to accredited investors. Because we cannot qualify as an accredited investor, we do not intend to acquire coins in initial coin offerings or from purchasers in such offerings. Further, the Company does not intend to participate in registered or unregistered initial coin offerings. The Company will carefully review its purchases of Digital Securities to avoid violating the 1940 Act and seek to reduce potential liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Digital asset blockchains are typically maintained by a network of participants which run servers which secure their blockchain. The market is rapidly evolving and there can be no assurances that we will be competitive with industry participants that have or may have greater resources than us.

Blockchain Technology and Digital Asset Initiatives

We are also focused on Digital Assets and blockchain technologies. Subject to additional financing, we plan to continue to evaluate other strategic opportunities including acquiring controlling interests in business in this rapidly evolving sector in an effort to enhance shareholder value.

Even though the prices of Digital Assets have fallen substantially and there remains some regulatory uncertainty, we believe that businesses using blockchain technology and those involved with Digital Assets such as bitcoin and ether, offer upside opportunity and are the types of opportunities that we may pursue.

Our current framework or criteria is to seek and evaluate acquisition targets in the blockchain and Digital Asset sector which (i) align with our business model of acquiring Digital Assets or acquiring a controlling interest in one or more blockchain technology related business ventures, and (ii) have sufficient capital to provide working capital and cover public company expenses. The requirement that a potential target have sufficient capital is a result of our inability to have our registration statement initially filed with the SEC on August 10, 2017 declared effective which has severely limited our ability to raise non-toxic capital. As disclosed in this report we have eliminatedlimited cash, and accordingly as a critical framework element are seeking acquisition targets with sufficient capital which may help us sustain our debtoperations without having us rely on toxic funding structures. Our acquisition activities are spearheaded by Charles Allen, our Chief Executive Officer who regularly communicates with Mr. David Garrity, one of our independent directors who is also seeking acquisition targets.

Transaction Verification Service Business (Digital Asset mining e.g. bitcoin, Suspended)

We believe that with additional funding we may be able to resume our transaction verification services business (Digital Asset mining e.g. bitcoin) and raised capital. Whilebelieve this may provide revenue growth. If we needare successful in resuming our transaction verification services business, we anticipate utilizing outsourced data centers and may diversify operations by securing other blockchains in addition to raise additional capital,bitcoins. If we resume our goal ismining operations, we do not intend to re-enteractively trade the Digital Assets business once we are ablebut rather hold them for our own account and sell them for U.S. dollars or other currencies including virtual currencies.

Transaction verification entails running ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) servers or other specialized servers which solve a set of prescribed complex mathematical calculations in order to raise the necessary capital. We cannot assure you we will beadd a block to a blockchain and thereby confirm Digital Asset transactions. A party which is successful in raisingadding a block to the capital or assuming we can, be able to developblockchain, is awarded a successful business. Our current goal is to close the previously announced Proposed Merger with the Australianfixed number of Digital Asset company.Assets for our effort.

 

Going Concern

 

Because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flow deficits, and an accumulated deficit, our independent auditors have indicated in their report on our December 31, 20162017 financial statements that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

 

Subject to additional financing, the Company plans to create a portfolio of digital assets including bitcoin and other “protocol tokens” to provide investors a diversified pure-play exposure to the bitcoin and blockchain industries. The Company intends to acquire digital assets through: open market purchases, participating in initial coin offerings. Additionally, the Company may acquire digital assets by resuming its transaction verification services business through outsourced data centers and earning rewards in digital assets by securing their respective blockchains.

We continue to incur ongoing administrative and other expenses, including public company expenses, in excess of revenue and capital raises. While we continue to implement our business strategy, we intend to finance our activities through:

 

managing current cash and cash equivalents on hand from the Company’s recent equity offerings, and
  
seeking additional funds raised through the sale of additional securities in the future.

Revenues

 

Revenues for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 and 20162017 were approximately $4,000$0 and $356,000,$4,000, respectively. Revenues represent net revenue earned from the processing of customer transactions through our ecommerce website, through fees earned from our transaction verification service business, and fees charged for hosting services. The decrease of approximately $352,000 in our revenues is mainly a result of the Company suspending its operations at its North Carolina transaction verification services facility in July 2016.

Power and Mining Expenses

Power and mining expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $0 and $264,000, respectively. The decrease in the power and mining expenses is the result of the reduction in mining activities and related electric costs for our transaction verification services business. Our electricity cost is a variable expense subject to certain demand charges which change based upon on and off-peak usage and seasonal billing rates. Our power consumption and resulting electricity cost is determined by the power settings of our transaction verification servers and other ancillary equipment used in the building.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $871,000 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. On May 25, 2017, we received a net $925,114 from four institutional investors in exchange for the issuance of a new class of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and three types of warrants.

On January 19, 2015, we received aggregate proceeds of approximately $433,000 in a private placement. On April 20, 2015, we received additional aggregate proceeds of approximately $2.3 million in a private placement.

Liquidity

 

On SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, we had current assets of approximately $30,000$0.2 million and current liabilities of approximately $4.8 million,$69,000, rendering a deficit of working capital of approximately $4.8$0.1 million.

Our working capital needs are influenced by our level of operations, and generally decrease with higher levels of revenue. The Company used approximately $0.3 million which includes $4.3 millionof cash in its operating activities for the non-cash fair value of derivative liabilities. As of November 3, 2017,six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company incurred a $0.4 million net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company had $284,000cash of available cashapproximately $32,000 and 59.38 bitcoins (valuedworking capital of approximately $0.1 million at approximately $432,000June 30, 2018. The Company expects to incur losses into the foreseeable future as of November 3, 2017).it undertakes its efforts to execute its business plans.

 

On May 25, 2017, the Company raised $1 million in cash from four institutional investors in exchange for the issuance of 79,368 of a new class of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C”) and three types of warrants.

In October 2017, the Company raised $1.1 million (including 59.38 bitcoins valued at $250,000 at the time of investment) from the sale of shares of Series C-1 preferred stock and Series B warrants to four investors.

If we fail to close the Proposed Merger prior to the end of 2017, we will not have sufficient capital to meet our expenses over the 12 months from the date of this Report. We will require significant additional capital to sustain short-term operations and make the investments needed to execute our longer-term business plan. Our existing liquidity is not sufficient to fund operations and anticipated capital expenditures for the foreseeable future, and we do not have sufficient cash resources to support our current operations for the next 12 months, and will need additional funding to resume revenue generating activities. If we attempt to obtain additional debt or equity financing, we cannot provide assurance that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms, if at all.

 

Because of recurring operating losses, net operating cash flow deficits, and an accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We have not made adjustments to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements to reflect the potential effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

We continue to incur ongoing administrative and other expenses, including public company expenses, primarily accounting and legal fees, in excess of corresponding (non-financing related) revenue. While we continue to implement itsthe business strategy, it intendswe intend to finance itsour activities through:

 

managing current cash and cash equivalents on hand from the Company’s past equity offerings, and
  
seeking additional funds raised through the sale of additional securities in the future, and
increasing revenue from its transaction verification services business.future.

 

Off Balance Sheet Transactions

 

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet transactions. We have no guarantees or obligations other than those which arise out of normal business operations.

 

Principal Accounting Estimates

 

In response to the SEC’s financial reporting release, FR-60, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies, the Company has selected its most subjective accounting estimation processes for purposes of explaining the methodology used in calculating the estimate, in addition to the inherent uncertainties pertaining to the estimate and the possible effects on the Company’s financial condition. These estimates involve certain assumptions that if incorrect could create a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

There were no material changes to our principal accounting estimates during the period covered by this report.

ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

Due to our small number of employees and limited resources, we have limited segregation of duties, as a result of which there is insufficient independent review of duties performed.
  
As a result of the limited number of accounting personnel, we rely on outside consultants for the preparation of our financial reports, including financial statements and management discussion and analysis, which could lead to overlooking items requiring disclosure.
  
Difficulty applying complex accounting principles.

On September 17, 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company concluded that due to ineffective controls we failed to follow GAAP in accounting for our digital assets. This failure arose from a material weakness which required us to restate our financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as well as two other periods.

 

Remediation Plan

 

When we have sufficient capital resources we intend to hire additional accounting staff, and operations and administrative executives and remediate each of the weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
