NOTE 1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company was incorporated on January 21, 2016, as Forex Development Corporation, under the laws of the State of Delaware. On February 27, 2018, the Company changed its name to FDCTech, Inc. The name change reflects the Company’s commitment to expanding its products and services in the FX, and cryptocurrency markets for OTC brokers. The Company provides innovative and cost-efficient financial technology (‘fintech’) and business solution to OTC Online Brokerages and cryptocurrency businesses (“customers”).

Company’s products are designed to provide a complete solution for all operating aspects of customer’s business, including but not limited to trading terminal, back office, customer relationship management, and risk management systems. The Company provides business and management consulting, which includes management consulting and the development of customers’ B2B sales and marketing divisions. The Company provides turnkey Software Solutions to entrepreneurs and other non-broker entities seeking to enter FX, cryptocurrency, and other OTC markets. The Company takes on customized software development projects specific to meet the needs of its customers. The Company also acts as a general technical support provider for customers and other fintech companies.

The Company’s Software Solutions allow its customers to run their overall business better, increase trading revenues, cut operating costs, and enable them to anticipate market challenges using our proprietary based processes, state-of-the-art technologies, risk management tools, customized software development, and turnkey prime-of-prime business solution.

We are a development company in the financial technology sector with limited operations. The Company has prepared consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

At present, the Company does not have any patents or trademarks on its proprietary technology solutions.

At present, the Company has three sources of revenue.

In the retail foreign exchange trading space where individuals speculate on the exchange rate between different currencies, our customers are forex brokerages, prime of prime brokers, prime brokers, and banks. The Company generates revenues by licensing its trading technology infrastructure, including but not limited to the trading platform (desktop, web, mobile), back office, and CRM and banking integration technology.

In the cryptocurrency and blockchain space, our customers are companies in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space, where it is acting as an adviser/strategic consultant and reseller of its proprietary technologies. The Company expects to generate additional revenue from its crypto-related solutions, which include revenues from the development of custom crypto exchange platform for customers, the sale of the non-exclusive source code of crypto exchange platform to third parties, white-label fees of crypto exchange platforms, and the sale of aggregated cryptocurrency data price feed from various crypto exchanges to OTC brokers. The Company initially plans to develop the technology architecture of the crypto exchange platform for its customers. The initial capital required to produce such technologies comes from our customers as the Company takes on design-build software development projects for customers, where the Company develops these projects to meet the design criteria and performance requirements as specified by the customer.

There are several steps required to set-up a functional crypto exchange platform. Our customers seek necessary licensing approval and meet registration requirements in their respective jurisdictions. Customers are also responsible for establishing a relationship with the payment processing partner, such as a bank. Subsequently, the Company intends to provide and maintain a payment gateway API, which will give users the power of adding and withdrawing funds. Liquidity is an essential aspect of the success of a cryptocurrency exchange marketplace. The trades at an exchange drive its liquidity, and a robust crypto exchange platform requires seamless trading activity. To manage this liquidity at the customer’s crypto exchange business, the Company will integrate its customer crypto exchange’s liquidity position to other existing exchanges. The Company will provide a modern and robust API interface that connects liquidity and trade volume data between various crypto exchanges.

The Company is responsible for arranging, developing, and maintaining the technology architecture of the crypto exchange platform. This architecture includes but not limited to the trading engine, front-end user interface, functional website, cryptocurrency wallet, and administration console. The trading engine serves as the core of exchange, and it is essential to smart order transaction execution, calculate balances, access, and aggregation of the order book and match all the buy/sell transactions on an exchange. The front-end user interface is a user-friendly and intuitive interface with a minimalistic approach to offer an exceptional trading experience. The front-end user includes but not limited to user registration, funds deposit/withdrawal, view order book, transactions, balance, statistics, charts, buy/sell orders, and support features. The Company can customize the features of a console according to the specific business requirement of our customers, such as the option to edit trading fees, managing cryptocurrency listing, adding new currencies, crediting/debiting funds to wallets and addressing support issues. The Company’s involvement is limited to creating an interface between the crypto exchange platform and the digital asset owner, and it is not responsible for holding and maintaining the digital assets in the wallet.

The Company is only involved as a technology provider and software developer in the crypto space. The Company does not mine, trade, speculate, or act as a trading counterparty in cryptocurrencies. Consequently, the Company does not intend to register as a custodian with state or federal regulators, including but not limited to obtaining a money service business or money transmitter license with Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and respective State’s money transmission laws. The Company also does not need to register under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a national securities exchange, an alternative trading system, or a broker-dealer, since the Company is not a broker-dealer nor does it intend to become a broker-dealer.

Third-Party Industry Accreditation

In July 2016, the Financial Commission, a leading financial services industry external dispute resolution (EDR) organization with a diverse membership of online brokerages and independent services providers (ISPs) provided the technology certification for the Company. Financial Commission conducted its rigorous review of the Company’s platforms, including its Condor Risk Management Back Office, to ensure it met the technical information requirements of the Commission’s technology certification evaluation process. The Financial Commission established a comprehensive list of requirements to verify system security, capacity, business disaster recovery, and continuity plan, as well as reporting and record-keeping, among other fields deemed necessary for the technical certification of the Company. In October 2018, Financial Commission added the Company as an approved service provider to its Partner section website. Financial Commission has created its Partners section for service providers approved to offer their solutions to our members.

We intend to grow our core business, increase market share, and improve profitability principally by deploying the following growth strategies:

Marketing and Sales

The Company aims to be flexible and responsive to its sales and marketing strategies to provide an omnichannel customer experience. Therefore, our primary focus is on different customer acquisition channels to expand our customer base. The Company is actively being integrating both digital (online marketing, website, blogs, and social media) and traditional marketing channels (conferences, trade shows, phones, direct meetings) effectively.

We implement an effective marketing funnel where we map out our customer’s journey from when a customer is a lead and then put specific strategies in place that will encourage them to move through this funnel. We create awareness of our solutions through direct marketing strategy, where we use a combination of approaches. The omnichannel strategy includes – banner advertising, SEO marketing, email outreach, event promotion, including educational seminars, conferences, and public and media relations, all of which we have designed at driving prospective customers to fdctech.com or encourage them to contact one of our specialists. We also encourage customers to participate in the demo or webinar or consultation call where our expert shows them why they need our solutions and exactly how it will benefit them.

We also utilize many indirect channels where a network of industry professionals, introducing and referring brokers (collectively “RB/IB”) as third parties, promote our services in exchange for performance-based compensation. In most cases, RB/IB performs the lead generation function while our staff provides the customer and technical service.

Most of the marketing and branding initiatives are taken in-house by our team, where we effectively leverage social media, content marketing, and integrated models to keep the continuity of our message and maintain critical customer relationships on a one on one basis.

Subsidiaries of the Company

In April 2016, the Company established its wholly-owned subsidiary – FRH Prime Ltd. (“FRH Prime”), a company incorporated under section 14 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda.

The Company has included rebates in revenue in the consolidated income statements. There have been no significant operating activities in FXClients.

Board of Directors

The Company currently has three directors.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FDCTech, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. We have eliminated all intercompany balances and transactions. The Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Company in its financial statements. The Company has measured and presented the consolidated financial statements of the Company in US Dollars, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (also known as its functional currency).

Consolidated Financial Statement Preparation and Use of Estimates

The Company prepared the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, website and internal-use software development costs, recoverability of intangible assets with finite lives, and other long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company regularly maintains cash more than federally insured limits at financial institutions. On December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had $27,884 and $210,064 cash and cash equivalent held at the financial institution.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable primarily represents the amount due from eight (8) customers. In some cases, Receivables from the customer are due immediately on demand; however, in most cases, the Company offers net 30 terms or n/30, where the payment is due in full 30 days after the date of the invoice. The Company has based the allowance for doubtful accounts on its assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay and expected default frequency rates. Trade receivables are written off at the point when they are considered uncollectible.

At December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company has determined that allowance for doubtful accounts was $78,087 and $68,675, respectively. Bad debt expense for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 was $20,000 and $88,600, respectively.

Sales, Marketing and Advertising

The Company recognizes sales, marketing, and advertising expenses when incurred.

The Company incurred $23,223 and $77,009 in sales, marketing, and advertising costs (“sales and marketing”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 respectively. The sales and marketing cost mainly included travel costs for tradeshows, customer meet and greet, online marketing on industry websites, press releases, and public relations activities. The sales, marketing, and advertising expenses represented 5.59%, and 14.36% of the sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 respectively.

Office Lease

Effective October 29, 2019, the Company leased office space at 200 Spectrum Center Drive, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92618. As per the Commitment Term of the lease (“Agreement”), this Agreement shall continue on a month-to-month basis (any term after the Commitment Term, also known as “Renewal Term”). The Commitment Term and all subsequent Renewal Terms shall constitute the “Term.” The Company may terminate this Agreement by delivering to the lessor Form (“Exit Form”) at least one (1) full calendar month before the month in which the Company intends to terminate this Agreement (“Termination Effective Month”). The Company is entitled to use the office and conference space as on need basis. Previously, the Company leased office space at 1460 Broadway, New York, NY 10036, from an unrelated party. The new rent payment or membership fee is $90 per month compared to the previous rent payment or membership fee at the office of $890 per month, which is included it in the General and administrative expenses.

Effective February 2019, the Company leases office space at Suite 205, Building 9, Potamos Germasogeia, 4047, Limassol District, Cyprus from an unrelated party for one (1) year. The rent payment at the office is $1,750 per month, and we have included it in the General and administrative expenses. From February 2020, this agreement continues every year upon written request by the Company. The Company uses the office for sales and marketing in Europe and Asia.

Effective April 2019, the Company leased office space at Suite 512, 83 Plan, Chelyabinsk, Russia, from an unrelated party for an eleven months term. The rent payment at the office is $500 per month, and we have included it in the General and administrative expenses. From March 2020, this agreement continues on a month-to-month basis until the Company or the lessor chooses to terminate by the terms of the agreement by giving thirty (30) days’ notice. The Company uses the office for software development and technical support.

As all leases are either on a month to month basis or less than one (1) year term, the Company is not required to recognize assets and liabilities for our rental leases. The Company has included all rental expenses in the General and Administrative expenses.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The majority of the Company’s revenues come from two contracts – IT support and maintenance (‘IT Agreement’) and software development (‘Second Amendment’) that fall within the scope of ASC 606.

The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services as per the contract with the customer. As a result, the Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which includes the following steps:

The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, under ASC 606 while prior period amounts are reported following legacy GAAP. In addition to the above guidelines, the Company also considers implementation guidance on warranties, customer options, licensing, and other topics. The Company takes into account revenue collectability, methods for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation, warranties, customer options for additional goods or services, nonrefundable upfront fees, licensing, customer acceptance, and other relevant categories.

The Company accounts for a contract when the Company and the customer (‘parties’) have approved the contract and are committed to performing their respective obligations, where each party can identify their rights, obligations, and payment terms, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration. Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the promised service to a customer. The Company fixes the transaction price for goods and services at contract inception. The Company’s standard payment terms are generally net 30 days and in some cases due upon receipt of the invoice.

The Company considers contract modification as a change in the scope or price (or both) of a contract that is approved by the parties. The parties describe contract modification as a change order, a variation, or an amendment. A contract modification exists when the parties to the contract approve a modification that either creates new or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations of the parties to the contract. The Company assumes a contract modification when approved in writing, by oral agreement, or implied by the customary business practice of the customer. If the parties to the contract have not approved a contract modification, the Company continues to apply the guidance to the existing contract until the contract modification is approved. The Company recognizes contract modification in various forms – including but not limited to partial termination, an extension of the contract term with a corresponding increase in price, adding new goods and/or services to the contract, with or without a corresponding change in price, and reducing the contract price without a change in goods or services promised.

For all its goods and services, at contract inception, the Company assesses the solutions or services, or bundles of solutions and services, obligated in the contract with a customer to identify each performance obligation within the contract, and then evaluate whether the performance obligations are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. Solutions and services that are not both capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract are combined and treated as a single performance obligation in determining the allocation and recognition of revenue. For multi-element transactions, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The Company determines that stand-alone selling price for each item at the inception of the transaction involving these multiple elements.

Since January 21, 2016 (‘Inception’), the Company has derived its revenues mainly from three sources – consulting services, technology solutions, and customized software development. The Company recognizes revenue when it has satisfied a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or delivering a service to a customer. We measure revenue based upon the consideration outlined in an arrangement or contract with a customer.

The Company’s typical performance obligations include the following:

For purposes of determining the transaction price, the Company assumes that the goods or services promised in the existing contract will be transferred to the customer. The Company assumes that the contract will not be canceled, renewed, or modified; therefore, the transaction price includes only those amounts to which the Company has rights under the present contract. For example, if the Company enters into a contract with a customer that has an original term of one year and the Company expects the customer to renew for a second year, the Company would determine the transaction price based on the original one-year term. When determining the transaction price, the Company first identifies the fixed consideration, which includes any nonrefundable upfront payment amounts.

For purposes of allocating the transaction price, the Company allocates an amount that best represents consideration that the entity expects to receive for transferring each promised good or service to the customer. To meet the allocation objective, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis. In determining the standalone selling price, the Company uses the best evidence of the stand-alone selling price that the Company charges to similar customers in similar circumstances. In some cases, the Company uses the adjusted market assessment approach to determine the standalone selling price, where it evaluates the market in which it sells the goods or services and estimates the price that customers in that market would pay for those goods or services when sold separately.

The Company recognizes revenue when or as it transfers the promised goods or services in the contract. The Company considers the “transfers” the promised goods or services when, or as, the customer obtains control of the goods or services. The Company considers a customer “obtains control” of an asset when, or as, it can direct the use of, and obtain all the remaining benefits from, an asset substantially. The Company recognizes deferred revenue related to services which it will deliver within one year as a current liability. The Company presents deferred revenue related to services that the Company will deliver more than one year into the future as a non-current liability.

For the period ending December 31, 2019, the Company’s two major revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

The Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement on July 19, 2017, to sell the code, installation, and future development for a value of two hundred and fifty thousand ($250,000) dollars. The first part was the sale of source code and installation and the second part consisted of the future development of the Platform, which is not essential to the functionality of the Platform, as third parties or customer(s) themselves can perform these services. By December 31, 2017, the Company has received the two installments totaling one hundred and sixty thousand ($160,000) dollars for the source code and successful installation of the Platform. The Company has recognized the revenue of $160,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. On December 31, 2018, the Company wrote-off a software development revenue equaling $18,675 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, for accounts receivable which were over ninety days. However, in August 2018, the Company signed the second amendment to the asset purchase agreement, whereby purchaser issued to the Company seventeen thousand, seven hundred and fifty dollars ($17,750) as a full and final settlement of all past delivered services. The Company received the funds in September 2018. On September 4, 2018, the Company signed the Second Amendment Agreement (‘Second Amendment’) in continuation of the asset purchase agreement, and the First Amendment Agreement signed on July 19, 2017, and August 1, 2017, between the Company and the Purchaser. Under the Second Amendment, the Company received $80,000 as the second part for the was the sale of source code in four equal installments of $20,000 each. All payments were received by May 5, 2019.

According to the Second Amendment, the Company identifies two main ongoing performance obligations in the contract for the following development services of the Platform:

a) Customized developments, and

b) Software updates.

The Company receives $75 per hour for the first 100 hours/month of approved development services and $45 per hour for all services over 100 hours per month. The Company invoices the Customer for all development services rendered and any cash received for the development services is non-refundable.

On February 5, 2018 (‘Effective Date’), the Company signed IT support and maintenance agreement (‘IT Agreement’) with an FX/OTC broker (‘FX Broker’) regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority, where the Company earns the recurring monthly payment from the FX Broker for delivering IT support and maintenance services (‘Services’) to FX Broker’s legacy technology infrastructure. The term of this Agreement commenced on the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated by either party either for cause, bankruptcy, and other default clauses. The Company completes and satisfies its performance obligation upon accomplishment of all support and maintenance activities every month. The Company invoices the FX Broker at the beginning of the month for services performed, delivered, and accepted for the prior month. At the time of the invoice, the Company renders all Services, and any cash received for Services is non-refundable.

According to the terms and conditions of the contract, the Company invoices the customer at the beginning of the month for services delivered for the month. The invoice amount is due upon receipt. The Company recognizes the revenue at the end of each month which is equal to the invoice amount.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash

The Company maintains its cash balances at a single financial institution. The balances do not exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits as of December 31, 2019.

Revenues

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company had seventeen (17) and ten (10) active customers, respectively. Revenues generated from the top three (3) customers represented approximately 93.73% and 53.53% of total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 respectively.

Accounts Receivable

At December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, Company’s top four (4) customers comprise roughly 84.43% and 83.55% of total A/R, respectively. The loss of any of the top four (4) customers would have a significant impact on the Company’s operations.

Research and Development (R and D) Cost

The Company acknowledges that future benefits from research and development (R and D) are uncertain, and R and D expenditures cannot be capitalized. The GAAP accounting standards require us to expense all research and development expenditures as incurred. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred R and D cost of $0 and $17,752, respectively. We have included the R AND D costs in the General and Administrative expenses in the consolidated income statements.

Legal Proceedings

The Company discloses a loss contingency if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss has incurred. The Company records its best estimate of loss related to pending legal proceedings when the loss is considered probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Where the Company can reasonably estimate a range of loss with no best estimate in the range, the Company records the minimum estimated liability. As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability related to pending legal proceedings and revises its estimates and updates its disclosures accordingly. The Company’s legal costs associated with defending itself are recorded to expense as incurred. The Company is currently not involved in any litigation.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Under the standard, long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount if and when the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value. On December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, there are no impairment charges.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based upon the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates that are applicable in each year.

The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Management of the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change in the next twelve (12) months significantly.

Software Development Costs

By ASC 985-20, Software development costs, including costs to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, that are incurred after the establishment of technological feasibility, are capitalized if significant. Capitalized software development costs are amortized using the straight-line amortization method over the estimated useful life of the application software. By the end of February 2016, the Company completed the activities (planning, designing, coding, and testing) necessary to establish that it can produce and meet the design specifications of the Condor FX Back Office Version, Condor FX Pro Trading Terminal Version, and Condor Pricing Engine. The Company established the technological feasibility of the Crypto Web Trader Platform in 2018. The Company estimates the useful life of the software to be three (3) years.

Amortization expense was $117,554 and $8,640 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 respectively, and the Company classifies such cost as the Cost of Sales.

The Company capitalizes significant costs incurred during the application development stage for internal-use software.

Convertible Debentures

The cash conversion guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, is considered when evaluating the accounting for convertible debt instruments (this includes certain convertible preferred stock that is classified as a liability) to determine whether the conversion feature should be recognized as a separate component of equity. The cash conversion guidance applies to all convertible debt instruments that upon conversion may be settled entirely or partially in cash or other assets where the conversion option is not bifurcated and separately accounted for pursuant to ASC 815.

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The Company records BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

As of December 31, 2019, the conversion features of conventional FRH Group convertible notes dated February 22, 2016, May 16, 2016, November 17, 2016 and April 24, 2017 (See Note 8) provide for a rate of conversion where the conversion price is below the market value. As a result, the conversion feature on all FRH Group convertible notes has as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) to the extent of the price difference. Due to the debt extension of the first three (3) tranches of FRH Group convertible notes, Management performed an analysis to determine the fair value of the BCF on these tranches and noted that the value of the BCF for each note was insignificant; thus no debt discount was recorded as of December 31, 2019.

For FRH Group convertible note dated April 24, 2017, the value of the stock at issuance date was above the floor conversion price; this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The Company records a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” As a result, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has amortized the discount of $97,996 to interest expense at the date of issuance because the debt is convertible at the date of issuance.

The $97,996 amount equaled to the intrinsic value, and the Company allocated it to additional paid-in capital in 2017.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had 68,626,332 and 68,533,332 basic and dilutive shares issued and outstanding, respectively. The Company had 20,000,000 million potentially dilutive shares related to four (4) outstanding FRH Group convertible notes, which were excluded from the diluted net loss per share as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. During the period ended December 31, 2019, and fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive due to a net loss for the period. Hence they are not considered in the computation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. None of these classifications had an impact on reported operating loss or net loss for any of the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific requirements. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step revenue recognition process in which entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one (1) year. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, under ASC 606 while prior period amounts are reported following legacy GAAP. Refer to Note 2 Revenue from Major Contracts with Customers for further discussion on the Company’s accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments to this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments in this standard is permitted for all entities, and the Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

The Company has prepared consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. At December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the accumulated deficit was $1,035,494 and $779,804, respectively.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $255,690 and $141,088, respectively.

Since its inception, the Company has sustained recurring losses, and negative cash flows from operations. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $27,884 cash on hand. The Company believes that future cash flows may not be sufficient for the Company to meet its debt obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for twelve (12) months following March 31, 2020. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has earned decreased revenues year-over-year and continues to reduce its operating expenses. However, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations, as well as the ongoing requirement for substantial additional capital investment for the development of its financial technologies. The Company expects that it will need to raise substantial additional capital to accomplish its growth plan over the next twelve (12) months. The Company expects to seek to obtain additional funding through private equity or public markets. However, there can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on the success of management’s plans discussed below. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating 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.

To the extent the Company’s operations are not sufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Company may attempt to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or attempt to raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or the issuance of debt.

The Company intends to continue its efforts in enhancing its revenue from its diversified portfolio of technological solutions and becoming cash flow positive, as well as raising funds through private placement offering and debt financing. See Note 8 for Notes Payable. In the future, as the Company increases its customer base across the globe, the Company intends to acquire long-lived assets that will provide a future economic benefit beyond fiscal 2019.

NOTE 4. CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, the estimated remaining weighted-average useful life of the Company’s capitalized software was three (3) years. The Company recognizes amortization expense for capitalized software on a straight-line basis.

At December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the gross capitalized software asset was $829,500 and $561,443, respectively. At the end of December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the accumulated software depreciation and amortization expenses were $139,875 and $22,320, respectively. As a result, the unamortized balance of capitalized software at December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, was $689,625 and $539,123, respectively.

The Company has estimated aggregate amortization expense for each of the five (5) succeeding fiscal years based on the estimated software asset’s lifespan of three (3) years.

Note 12. Income Taxes

The Company calculates income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting. We compute Deferred income taxes by multiplying statutory rates applicable to estimated future year differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.

The income tax provision is summarized as follows:

In 2019 and 2018, the Company had pre-tax losses of $255,690 and $141,088, respectively, which are available for carry-forward to offset future taxable income. The Company has made determinations to provide full valuation allowances for our net deferred tax assets at the end of 2019, and 2018, including Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryforwards generated during the years. Based on its evaluation of positive and negative evidence, including our history of operating losses and the uncertainty of generating future taxable income that would enable us to realize our deferred tax assets.

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 federal tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a 21% rate. The rate reduction will be taking effect on January 1, 2018. Therefore, we have applied the tax rate of 21% to the ending balance of federal deferred tax assets. As we provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets, we have not recorded any tax impact due to the tax rate change.

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

Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2019 will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, management has maintained a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2019. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the twelve (12) months ended December 31, 2019 was an increase of $53,695. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,035,494 and $779,804, respectively, expiring beginning in 2037 for federal and 2037 for the state.

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company analyzed its ASC 740 position and had not identified any uncertain tax positions as defined under ASC 740. Should such position be identified in the future and should the Company owe interest and penalties because of this, these would be recognized as interest expense and other expense, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company has identified the United States Federal tax returns as its “major” tax jurisdiction. The United States Federal return for the year 2019 and 2018 has been submitted and accepted by the United States Internal Revenue Service. The Company is not subject to tax examination by authorities in the United States before the years 2016. The New York State Tax return for the year 2019 and 2018 has been submitted and accepted by New York State Franchise Tax Board, and currently, the Company does not have any ongoing tax examinations.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has assessed federal and state payroll tax payments in the aggregate amount of $99,498, and we have included it in the General and administrative expenses. The Company does not have any foreign tax expenses and liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

NOTE 13. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support, and credit risk support or other benefits.

NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through April 6, 2020, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FDCTech, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. We have eliminated all intercompany balances and transactions. The Company has prepared the consolidated financial statements in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Company in its financial statements. The Company has measured and presented the consolidated financial statements of the Company in US Dollars, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (also known as its functional currency).

Consolidated Financial Statement Preparation and Use of Estimates

The Company prepared the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, website and internal-use software development costs, recoverability of intangible assets with finite lives, and other long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company regularly maintains cash more than federally insured limits at financial institutions. On December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had $27,884 and $210,064 cash and cash equivalent held at the financial institution.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable primarily represents the amount due from eight (8) customers. In some cases, Receivables from the customer are due immediately on demand; however, in most cases, the Company offers net 30 terms or n/30, where the payment is due in full 30 days after the date of the invoice. The Company has based the allowance for doubtful accounts on its assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay and expected default frequency rates. Trade receivables are written off at the point when they are considered uncollectible.

At December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company has determined that allowance for doubtful accounts was $78,087 and $68,675, respectively. Bad debt expense for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 was $20,000 and $88,600, respectively.

Sales, Marketing and Advertising

The Company recognizes sales, marketing, and advertising expenses when incurred.

The Company incurred $23,223 and $77,009 in sales, marketing, and advertising costs (“sales and marketing”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 respectively. The sales and marketing cost mainly included travel costs for tradeshows, customer meet and greet, online marketing on industry websites, press releases, and public relations activities. The sales, marketing, and advertising expenses represented 5.59%, and 14.36% of the sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 respectively.

Office Lease

Effective October 29, 2019, the Company leased office space at 200 Spectrum Center Drive, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92618. As per the Commitment Term of the lease (“Agreement”), this Agreement shall continue on a month-to-month basis (any term after the Commitment Term, also known as “Renewal Term”). The Commitment Term and all subsequent Renewal Terms shall constitute the “Term.” The Company may terminate this Agreement by delivering to the lessor Form (“Exit Form”) at least one (1) full calendar month before the month in which the Company intends to terminate this Agreement (“Termination Effective Month”). The Company is entitled to use the office and conference space as on need basis. Previously, the Company leased office space at 1460 Broadway, New York, NY 10036, from an unrelated party. The new rent payment or membership fee is $90 per month compared to the previous rent payment or membership fee at the office of $890 per month, which is included it in the General and administrative expenses.

Effective February 2019, the Company leases office space at Suite 205, Building 9, Potamos Germasogeia, 4047, Limassol District, Cyprus from an unrelated party for one (1) year. The rent payment at the office is $1,750 per month, and we have included it in the General and administrative expenses. From February 2020, this agreement continues every year upon written request by the Company. The Company uses the office for sales and marketing in Europe and Asia.

Effective April 2019, the Company leased office space at Suite 512, 83 Plan, Chelyabinsk, Russia, from an unrelated party for an eleven months term. The rent payment at the office is $500 per month, and we have included it in the General and administrative expenses. From March 2020, this agreement continues on a month-to-month basis until the Company or the lessor chooses to terminate by the terms of the agreement by giving thirty (30) days’ notice. The Company uses the office for software development and technical support.

As all leases are either on a month to month basis or less than one (1) year term, the Company is not required to recognize assets and liabilities for our rental leases. The Company has included all rental expenses in the General and Administrative expenses.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The majority of the Company’s revenues come from two contracts – IT support and maintenance (‘IT Agreement’) and software development (‘Second Amendment’) that fall within the scope of ASC 606.

The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services as per the contract with the customer. As a result, the Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which includes the following steps:

The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, under ASC 606 while prior period amounts are reported following legacy GAAP. In addition to the above guidelines, the Company also considers implementation guidance on warranties, customer options, licensing, and other topics. The Company takes into account revenue collectability, methods for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation, warranties, customer options for additional goods or services, nonrefundable upfront fees, licensing, customer acceptance, and other relevant categories.

The Company accounts for a contract when the Company and the customer (‘parties’) have approved the contract and are committed to performing their respective obligations, where each party can identify their rights, obligations, and payment terms, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration. Revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the promised service to a customer. The Company fixes the transaction price for goods and services at contract inception. The Company’s standard payment terms are generally net 30 days and in some cases due upon receipt of the invoice.

The Company considers contract modification as a change in the scope or price (or both) of a contract that is approved by the parties. The parties describe contract modification as a change order, a variation, or an amendment. A contract modification exists when the parties to the contract approve a modification that either creates new or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations of the parties to the contract. The Company assumes a contract modification when approved in writing, by oral agreement, or implied by the customary business practice of the customer. If the parties to the contract have not approved a contract modification, the Company continues to apply the guidance to the existing contract until the contract modification is approved. The Company recognizes contract modification in various forms – including but not limited to partial termination, an extension of the contract term with a corresponding increase in price, adding new goods and/or services to the contract, with or without a corresponding change in price, and reducing the contract price without a change in goods or services promised.

For all its goods and services, at contract inception, the Company assesses the solutions or services, or bundles of solutions and services, obligated in the contract with a customer to identify each performance obligation within the contract, and then evaluate whether the performance obligations are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. Solutions and services that are not both capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract are combined and treated as a single performance obligation in determining the allocation and recognition of revenue. For multi-element transactions, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The Company determines that stand-alone selling price for each item at the inception of the transaction involving these multiple elements.

Since January 21, 2016 (‘Inception’), the Company has derived its revenues mainly from three sources – consulting services, technology solutions, and customized software development. The Company recognizes revenue when it has satisfied a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or delivering a service to a customer. We measure revenue based upon the consideration outlined in an arrangement or contract with a customer.

The Company’s typical performance obligations include the following:

For purposes of determining the transaction price, the Company assumes that the goods or services promised in the existing contract will be transferred to the customer. The Company assumes that the contract will not be canceled, renewed, or modified; therefore, the transaction price includes only those amounts to which the Company has rights under the present contract. For example, if the Company enters into a contract with a customer that has an original term of one year and the Company expects the customer to renew for a second year, the Company would determine the transaction price based on the original one-year term. When determining the transaction price, the Company first identifies the fixed consideration, which includes any nonrefundable upfront payment amounts.

For purposes of allocating the transaction price, the Company allocates an amount that best represents consideration that the entity expects to receive for transferring each promised good or service to the customer. To meet the allocation objective, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis. In determining the standalone selling price, the Company uses the best evidence of the stand-alone selling price that the Company charges to similar customers in similar circumstances. In some cases, the Company uses the adjusted market assessment approach to determine the standalone selling price, where it evaluates the market in which it sells the goods or services and estimates the price that customers in that market would pay for those goods or services when sold separately.

The Company recognizes revenue when or as it transfers the promised goods or services in the contract. The Company considers the “transfers” the promised goods or services when, or as, the customer obtains control of the goods or services. The Company considers a customer “obtains control” of an asset when, or as, it can direct the use of, and obtain all the remaining benefits from, an asset substantially. The Company recognizes deferred revenue related to services which it will deliver within one year as a current liability. The Company presents deferred revenue related to services that the Company will deliver more than one year into the future as a non-current liability.

For the period ending December 31, 2019, the Company’s two major revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

The Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement on July 19, 2017, to sell the code, installation, and future development for a value of two hundred and fifty thousand ($250,000) dollars. The first part was the sale of source code and installation and the second part consisted of the future development of the Platform, which is not essential to the functionality of the Platform, as third parties or customer(s) themselves can perform these services. By December 31, 2017, the Company has received the two installments totaling one hundred and sixty thousand ($160,000) dollars for the source code and successful installation of the Platform. The Company has recognized the revenue of $160,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. On December 31, 2018, the Company wrote-off a software development revenue equaling $18,675 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, for accounts receivable which were over ninety days. However, in August 2018, the Company signed the second amendment to the asset purchase agreement, whereby purchaser issued to the Company seventeen thousand, seven hundred and fifty dollars ($17,750) as a full and final settlement of all past delivered services. The Company received the funds in September 2018. On September 4, 2018, the Company signed the Second Amendment Agreement (‘Second Amendment’) in continuation of the asset purchase agreement, and the First Amendment Agreement signed on July 19, 2017, and August 1, 2017, between the Company and the Purchaser. Under the Second Amendment, the Company received $80,000 as the second part for the was the sale of source code in four equal installments of $20,000 each. All payments were received by May 5, 2019.

According to the Second Amendment, the Company identifies two main ongoing performance obligations in the contract for the following development services of the Platform:

a) Customized developments, and

b) Software updates.

The Company receives $75 per hour for the first 100 hours/month of approved development services and $45 per hour for all services over 100 hours per month. The Company invoices the Customer for all development services rendered and any cash received for the development services is non-refundable.

On February 5, 2018 (‘Effective Date’), the Company signed IT support and maintenance agreement (‘IT Agreement’) with an FX/OTC broker (‘FX Broker’) regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority, where the Company earns the recurring monthly payment from the FX Broker for delivering IT support and maintenance services (‘Services’) to FX Broker’s legacy technology infrastructure. The term of this Agreement commenced on the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated by either party either for cause, bankruptcy, and other default clauses. The Company completes and satisfies its performance obligation upon accomplishment of all support and maintenance activities every month. The Company invoices the FX Broker at the beginning of the month for services performed, delivered, and accepted for the prior month. At the time of the invoice, the Company renders all Services, and any cash received for Services is non-refundable.

According to the terms and conditions of the contract, the Company invoices the customer at the beginning of the month for services delivered for the month. The invoice amount is due upon receipt. The Company recognizes the revenue at the end of each month which is equal to the invoice amount.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash

The Company maintains its cash balances at a single financial institution. The balances do not exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits as of December 31, 2019.

Revenues

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company had seventeen (17) and ten (10) active customers, respectively. Revenues generated from the top three (3) customers represented approximately 93.73% and 53.53% of total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 respectively.

Accounts Receivable

At December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, Company’s top four (4) customers comprise roughly 84.43% and 83.55% of total A/R, respectively. The loss of any of the top four (4) customers would have a significant impact on the Company’s operations.

Research and Development (R and D) Cost

The Company acknowledges that future benefits from research and development (R and D) are uncertain, and R and D expenditures cannot be capitalized. The GAAP accounting standards require us to expense all research and development expenditures as incurred. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred R and D cost of $0 and $17,752, respectively. We have included the R AND D costs in the General and Administrative expenses in the consolidated income statements.

Legal Proceedings

The Company discloses a loss contingency if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss has incurred. The Company records its best estimate of loss related to pending legal proceedings when the loss is considered probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Where the Company can reasonably estimate a range of loss with no best estimate in the range, the Company records the minimum estimated liability. As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability related to pending legal proceedings and revises its estimates and updates its disclosures accordingly. The Company’s legal costs associated with defending itself are recorded to expense as incurred. The Company is currently not involved in any litigation.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Under the standard, long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount if and when the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value. On December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, there are no impairment charges.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based upon the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates that are applicable in each year.

The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Management of the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change in the next twelve (12) months significantly.

Software Development Costs

By ASC 985-20, Software development costs, including costs to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, that are incurred after the establishment of technological feasibility, are capitalized if significant. Capitalized software development costs are amortized using the straight-line amortization method over the estimated useful life of the application software. By the end of February 2016, the Company completed the activities (planning, designing, coding, and testing) necessary to establish that it can produce and meet the design specifications of the Condor FX Back Office Version, Condor FX Pro Trading Terminal Version, and Condor Pricing Engine. The Company established the technological feasibility of the Crypto Web Trader Platform in 2018. The Company estimates the useful life of the software to be three (3) years.

Amortization expense was $117,554 and $8,640 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and 2018 respectively, and the Company classifies such cost as the Cost of Sales.

The Company capitalizes significant costs incurred during the application development stage for internal-use software.

Convertible Debentures

The cash conversion guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, is considered when evaluating the accounting for convertible debt instruments (this includes certain convertible preferred stock that is classified as a liability) to determine whether the conversion feature should be recognized as a separate component of equity. The cash conversion guidance applies to all convertible debt instruments that upon conversion may be settled entirely or partially in cash or other assets where the conversion option is not bifurcated and separately accounted for pursuant to ASC 815.

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The Company records BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

As of December 31, 2019, the conversion features of conventional FRH Group convertible notes dated February 22, 2016, May 16, 2016, November 17, 2016 and April 24, 2017 (See Note 8) provide for a rate of conversion where the conversion price is below the market value. As a result, the conversion feature on all FRH Group convertible notes has as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) to the extent of the price difference. Due to the debt extension of the first three (3) tranches of FRH Group convertible notes, Management performed an analysis to determine the fair value of the BCF on these tranches and noted that the value of the BCF for each note was insignificant; thus no debt discount was recorded as of December 31, 2019.

For FRH Group convertible note dated April 24, 2017, the value of the stock at issuance date was above the floor conversion price; this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The Company records a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” As a result, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has amortized the discount of $97,996 to interest expense at the date of issuance because the debt is convertible at the date of issuance.

The $97,996 amount equaled to the intrinsic value, and the Company allocated it to additional paid-in capital in 2017.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had 68,626,332 and 68,533,332 basic and dilutive shares issued and outstanding, respectively. The Company had 20,000,000 million potentially dilutive shares related to four (4) outstanding FRH Group convertible notes, which were excluded from the diluted net loss per share as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. During the period ended December 31, 2019, and fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive due to a net loss for the period. Hence they are not considered in the computation.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. None of these classifications had an impact on reported operating loss or net loss for any of the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific requirements. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step revenue recognition process in which entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one (1) year. The Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of January 1, 2019. The Company presents results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019, under ASC 606 while prior period amounts are reported following legacy GAAP. Refer to Note 2 Revenue from Major Contracts with Customers for further discussion on the Company’s accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments to this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments in this standard is permitted for all entities, and the Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
