Covid-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic throughout the United States. While the initial outbreak concentrated in China, it spread to several other countries, including Russia and Cyprus, and reported infections globally. Many countries worldwide, including the United States, have significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement of people, and other material limitations on business. These measures have resulted in work stoppages, absenteeism in the Company’s labor workforce, and other disruptions. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments. These developments are highly uncertain. We cannot predict them with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak and the actions required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, the spread of the coronavirus globally could adversely impact our operations and workforce, including our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operation results.
Ukraine-Russia Conflict
The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The war between the two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues. The United States and certain European countries have imposed additional sanctions on Russia and specific individuals. By the end of August 2022, the Company closed its technical support and development office in Russia. We relocated our personnel to Turkey, currently considered a neutral zone. No individual associated with the Company is banned or under Special Designated Nationals and Blocked Person list. If the military activities worsen and expand in Europe, we may relocate our office from Turkey to other neutral zones in Asia. If we cannot relocate our technical and development operations to a safer zone, it may impact our software development capabilities and negatively impact the Company’s business plans.
As of the date of this report, there has been no disruption in our operations.
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 consistent with its accounting policies in its financial statements. The Company has measured and presented its consolidated financial statements in US Dollars, the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (also known as its functional currency).
Financial Statement Preparation and Use of Estimates
The Company prepared consolidated financial statements according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. This could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the presented periods. 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. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”).

Accounts Receivable primarily represents the amount due from four (4) technology customers. In some cases, the customer receivables 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 invoice’s date. 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 historical experience, credit quality, the accounts receivable balances’ age, and 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.

Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Most of the Company’s technology and software 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 the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services 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:
| ● | Identify the contract or contracts and subsequent amendments with the customer. | |
| ● | Identify all the performance obligations in the contract and subsequent amendments. | |
| ● | Determine the transaction price for completing performance obligations. | |
| ● | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. | |
| ● | Recognize the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
| F-13 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 considers 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. Each party can identify its rights, obligations, and payment terms; the contract has commercial substance. The Company will probably collect all of the consideration. Revenue is recognized when 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 the change in scope, price, or both as contract modifications. 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. The Company assumes a contract modification by oral agreement or implied by the customer’s customary business practice when agreed in writing. If the parties to the contract have not approved a contract modification, the Company continues to apply the existing contract’s guidance until the contract modification is approved. The Company recognizes contract modification in various forms –partial termination, an extension of the contract term with a corresponding price increase, adding new goods or services to the contract, with or without a corresponding price change, and reducing the contract price without a change in goods/services promised.
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 agreement. Solutions and services that are not capable of being distinct and distinct within the contract context 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 the stand-alone selling price for each item at the transaction’s inception involving these multiple elements.
Since January 21, 2016 (‘Inception’), the Company has derived its revenues mainly from 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.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company’s typic The Company’s typical performance obligations include the following:
| Performance Obligation | Types of Deliverables | When Performance Obligation is Typically Satisfied | ||
| Consulting Services | Consulting related to Start-Your-Own-Brokerage (“SYOB”), Start-Your-Own-Prime Brokerage (“SYOPB”), Start-Your-Own-Crypto Exchange (“SYOC”), FX/OTC liquidity solutions and lead generations. | The Company recognizes the consulting revenues when the customer receives services over the contract length. If the customer pays the Company in advance for these services, the Company records such payment as deferred revenue until the Company completes the services. | ||
| Technology Services | Licensing of Condor Risk Management Back Office (“Condor Risk Management”), Condor FX Pro Trading Terminal, Condor Pricing Engine, Crypto Trading Platform (“Crypto Web Trader Platform”), and other cryptocurrency-related solutions. | The Company recognizes ratably over the contractual period that the services are delivered, beginning on the date such service is made available to the customer. Licensing agreements are typically one year in length with an option to cancel by giving notice; customers have the right to terminate their agreements if the Company materially breaches its obligations under the agreement. Licensing agreements do not provide customers the right to take possession of the software. The Company charges the customers a set-up fee for installing the platform, and implementation activities are insignificant and not subject to a separate fee. | ||
| Software Development | Design and build development software projects for customers, where the Company develops the project to meet the design criteria and performance requirements as specified in the contract. | The Company recognizes the software development revenues when the Customer obtains control of the deliverables as stated in the Statement-of-Work contract. |
The Company assumes that the goods or services promised in the existing contract will be transferred to the customer to determine the transaction price. The Company believes 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 with an original term of one year and expects the customer to renew for a second year, the Company will determine the transaction price based on the initial one-year period. When choosing the transaction price, the company first identifies the fixed consideration, including non-refundable upfront payment amounts.
To allocate the transaction price, the Company gives an amount that best represents the consideration the entity expects to receive for transferring each promised good or service to the customer. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis to meet the allocation objective. 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. 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.
| F-15 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers the promised goods or services in the contract. The Company considers the “transfers” of the promised goods or services when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. The Company considers a customer “obtains control” of an asset when it can directly use and receive all the remaining benefits from an asset substantially. The Company recognizes deferred revenue related to services it will deliver within one year as a current liability. The Company presents deferred revenue related to services that the Company will provide more than one year into the future as a non-current liability.
According to the technology contract’s terms and conditions, the Company invoices the customer at the beginning of the month for the month’s services. The invoice amount is due upon receipt. The Company recognizes the revenue at the end of each month, equal to the invoice amount.
AD Advisory Services Pty (ADS), the Company’s wealth management revenue, primarily consists of advisory revenue, commission revenue from insurance products, fees to prepare the statement of advice, rebalancing portfolio, and other financial planning activities. We recognize revenue upon transferring services to customers, reflecting the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those services. If we accept payments in advance of services, we defer and recognize them as revenue when satisfied with our performance obligation. Advisory revenue includes fees charged to clients in advisory accounts for which we are the licensed investment advisor. We bill advisory fees weekly.

An impairment charge is recognized for the amount if and when the asset’s carrying value exceeds the fair value. There are
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 applicable 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 benefits, requiring periodic adjustments, 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 operations’ consolidated statements. The Company’s management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly in the next twelve (12) months.

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 a conversion rate 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. The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
As of December 31, 2020, 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 a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) to the extent of the price difference.
As the Company and FRH Group extended the maturity date of the four (4) tranches of convertible notes to September 30, 2021, Management analyzed the fair value of the BCF on these tranches. The Company noted that the value of the BCF for each note was insignificant; thus, it did not record debt discounts as of December 31, 2020.
For
FRH Group convertible note dated April 24, 2017, the stock’s value at the 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 $
The $ amount is equal to the intrinsic value, and the Company allocated it to additional paid-in capital in 2017.
Foreign Currency Translation and Re-measurement
The Company translates its foreign operations to US dollar following ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.”

Fair Value
The Company uses current market values to recognize certain assets and liabilities at a fair value. The fair value is the estimated price at which the Company can sell the asset or settle a liability in an orderly transaction to a third party under current market conditions. The Company uses the following methods and valuation techniques for deriving fair values:
Market Approach – The market approach uses the prices associated with actual market transactions for similar or identical assets and liabilities to derive a fair value.
Income Approach – The income approach uses estimated future cash flows or earnings, adjusted by a discount rate representing the time value of money and the risk of cash flows not being achieved to derive a discounted present value.
Cost Approach – The cost approach uses the estimated cost to replace an asset adjusted for the obsolescence of the existing asset.
The Company ranks the fair value hierarchy of information sources from Level 1 (best) to Level 3 (worst). The Company uses these three levels to select inputs for valuation techniques:
| Level I | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||
| Level 1 is a quoted price for an identical item in an active market on the measurement date. Level 1 is the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used whenever this information is available. | Level 2 is directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices. An example of a Level 2 input is a valuation multiple for a business unit based on comparable companies’ sales, EBITDA, or net income. | Level 3 is an unobservable input. It may include the company’s data, adjusted for other reasonably available information. Examples of a Level 3 input are an internally-generated financial forecast. |
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 income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had , and basic and dilutive shares issued and outstanding. The Company converted the four FRH Group convertible notes into dilutive shares. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive due to a net loss of $ and $, respectively, for the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive due to a net loss. Hence, the Company has not considered it in the computation.
Reclassifications
We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation. None of these classifications impacted reported operating loss or net loss for any period 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; an 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 customers’ contracts. 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. The Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company adopted this policy as of January 1, 2020, and there is no material effect on its financial reporting.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments modify the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 to add disclosures regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The amendments removed and modified certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Certain amendments are to be applied prospectively, while others are to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company adopted the ASU 2018-13 as of January 1, 2020. The Company used the Level 1 Fair Market Measurement to record, at cost, ADS’ intangible assets valued at $2,550,003. We evaluate acquired intangible assets for impairment at least annually to confirm if the carrying amount of acquired intangible assets exceeds their fair value. The acquired intangible assets primarily consist of assets under management, wealth management license, and our technology. We use various qualitative or quantitative methods for these impairment tests to estimate the fair value of our acquired intangible assets. If the fair value is less than its carrying value, we would recognize an impairment charge for the difference. The Company did not record impairment for September 30, 2022, and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, issued in August 2020 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt and convertible preferred stock by removing the requirements to present certain conversion features in equity separately. In addition, the amendments also simplify the guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, by removing certain criteria that must be satisfied to classify a contract as equity, which is expected to decrease the number of freestanding instruments and embedded derivatives accounted for as assets or liabilities. Finally, the amendments revise the guidance on calculating earnings per share, requiring the use of the if-converted method for all convertible instruments and rescinding an entity’s ability to rebut the presumption of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets. The amendments are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The guidance must be adopted as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect this ASU 2020-06 to impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

| ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
This Quarterly Report Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth as a result of general economic conditions and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. The analysis set forth below is provided pursuant to applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and is not intended to serve as a basis for projections of future events.
The Company intends to build a diversified global financial services company driven by proprietary Condor trading technologies, complementary regulatory licenses, and a proven executive team. The Company plans to acquire, integrate, transform, and scale legacy financial service companies. The Company believes that its proprietary technology and software development capabilities allow legacy financial services companies immediate exposure to –forex, stocks, ETFs, commodities, crypto, social/copy trading, and other high-growth fintech markets.
From December 2021, the Company expects to grow from its acquisition strategy, specializing in buying and integrating small to mid-size legacy financial services companies. The Company intends to build a diversified global software-driven financial services company. The Company plans to acquire, integrate, transform, and scale legacy financial service companies. The Company replaces conventional legacy software infrastructure with its regulatory-grade proprietary Condor trading technologies, intending to improve end-user experience, increase client retention, and realize cost synergies.
Post-acquisition of ADS, we have two primary business segments, (1) Wealth Management and (2) Technology and Software Development.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic that continues throughout the United States. While the outbreak was initially concentrated in China, it spread to several other countries, including Russia and Cyprus, and reported infections globally. Many countries worldwide, including the United States, have significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement of people, and other material limitations on our business. These measures have resulted in work stoppages, absenteeism in the Company’s labor workforce, and other disruptions. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments. These developments are highly uncertain. We cannot predict them with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak and the actions required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, the continued spread of the coronavirus globally could adversely impact our operations and workforce, including our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operation results.
The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The war between the two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues. The United States and certain European countries have imposed additional sanctions on Russia and specific individuals. By the end of August 2022, the Company closed its technical support and development office in Russia. We relocated our personnel to Turkey, currently considered a neutral zone. No individual associated with the Company is banned or under Special Designated Nationals and Blocked Person list. If the military activities worsen and expand in Europe, we may relocate our office from Turkey to other neutral zones in Asia. If we cannot relocate our technical and development operations to a safer zone, it may impact our software development capabilities and negatively impact the Company’s business plans.
As of the date of this report, there has been no disruption in our operations.
On July 19, 2022, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire eighty percent (80%) equity interest in CIM Securities, LLC (“CIM Securities”), a FINRA and SIPC member firm. On September 30, 2022, the Company paid a $20,000 non-refundable deposit and transferred $180,000 to the escrow account to complete the transaction. The FINRA Rule 1017 requires the Company to file continuing membership applications (CMAs) as it plans to apply for changes in ownership, control, and business operations. The Company expects to file the CMA form by the end of fiscal 2022.

The Company incurred $69,692 and $277,327 in sales, marketing, and advertising costs (“sales and marketing”) for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021. The increase in expense is mainly due to the rise in digital marketing costs for the three-month ended September 30, 2022. 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 4.55% and 375.15% of the sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we had a cash balance of $246,064 and $93,546, respectively.
In the next twelve (12) months, the Company will continue investing in sales, marketing, product support, new technology solutions, and existing technology to serve our customers. We expect capital expenditures to increase to up to $100,000 in the next twelve (12) months to support the growth, mainly software development and the purchase of computers and servers. Also, the Company estimates additional expenditure needed to be $200,000, which provides for $50,000 and $150,000 for sales and marketing and working capital, respectively.
Should we require additional capital, the Company’s operations are insufficient to fund its capital requirements. The Company may attempt to raise capital by selling additional capital stock or debt issuance. The Company intends to continue its efforts in growing its operations and raising funds through private equity and debt financing.
Between February 22, 2016, and April 24, 2017, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from FRH Group, a founder and principal shareholder. Effective June 1, 2017, we raised an aggregate of $98,000 through our common stock’s private placement to our officers, directors, friends, relatives, and business associates.
From January 29, 2019, to February 15, 2019, the Company issued 33,000 registered shares under the Securities Act of 1933 for $4,950. The Company closed its offering effective February 26, 2019.
On May 01, 2020, the Company received proceeds of Fifty-Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty-Two ($50,632) from the Promissory Note (“PPP Note”) under the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).
On May 22, 2020, the Company received hundred and forty-four thousand nine hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($144,900).
On July 15, 2020, the Company engaged Kingswood Capital Markets, a Benchmark Investments division, Inc., to act as its exclusive general financial advisor for strategic corporate planning and investment banking services. On August 25, 2020, the Company and Broker-Dealer terminated all obligations other than maintaining confidentiality, with no fees to the Broker-Dealer. The Broker-Dealer agreed to return the 2,745,053 shares of the Company’s common stock.
On September 02, 2020, the Company engaged Garden State Securities Inc. (GSS) to act as its exclusive advisor for the private placement of debt or equity securities to fulfill the Company’s business plan and offer debt securities to assist in the Company’s acquisition strategy. The Company terminated the engagement as of June 28, 2021.
On February 22, 2021, the Company entered into an Assignment of Debt Agreement (the “Agreement”) with FRH and FRH Group Corporation. The Company eliminated all four FRH Group convertible notes, including interest, of $1,256,908, in return for the issuance of 12,569,080 of unregistered common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) to FRH. The debt reduction should enable the Company to raise capital at favorable terms and conditions.
Between February and September 2021, the Company received $95,000 from the Officer for working capital purposes and recorded in related party advances.
On October 04, 2021, the Company filed a prospectus that relates to the resale of up to 22,670,000 shares of our Common Stock issued or issuable to selling shareholders for up to $2,200,000, including (i) up to 2,000,000 shares issued to AD Securities America, LLC, (ii) up to 20,000,000 issuable to White Lion Capital, LLC (“White Lion”), according to a “Purchase Notice Right” under an Investment Agreement and (iii) 670,000 shares issued to White Lion as a commitment fee associated with the Investment Agreement. The Company is yet to receive the funds. If we are unsuccessful in raising funds from the sale of 22,670,000 shares, we do not believe our current cash balance is sufficient to fund our operations.
From January 4, 2022, to February 10, 2022, the Company issued 2,500,000 registered shares to White Lion for a gross cash amount of $114,185.
On January 27, 2022, the Company signed a promissory note (‘AJB Note’) with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (‘AJB Capital’). The Company issued 2,214,286 common stock valued at $71,521 upon issuance of the Note (the “Shares”) and 1,000,000 3-year cash warrants (‘AJB Warrants’) priced at $0.30 as consideration fees for AJB Note. The AJB Warrants and the Shares, collectively known as the ‘Incentive Fee,’ are issued upon execution of the agreement. As of September 30, 2022, all AJB Warrants are out-of-money and not exercised.
On September 30, 2022, the Company issued 30,000,000 restricted common shares for cash valued at $300,000.

GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION
We have not generated significant revenues from inception to September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company accumulated a deficit of $4,205,663 and $3,230,679, respectively. Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, and the period from January 21, 2016 (inception) to December 31, 2016, regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result in the company being unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
We have based our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations on our financial statements, which we have prepared following the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Our actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material and uncertain in the current economic environment due to COVID-19.
In more detail, we have described significant accounting policies in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as appropriate based on changing conditions.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued after the enactment of the JOBS Act until those standards apply to private companies. As an emerging growth company, we have applied for exemption; as a result, the Company may delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until the standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(c) of the SEC’s Regulation S-B. We did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. We have adopted this ASU as of September 30, 2020 for ASC 606, Revenue Recognition and Amended ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840). The ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. While we have described significant accounting policies in more details in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020, we believe the accounting policies as described in Note 2 to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022, were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management believes the financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q fairly represent in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
