Item 1. Business
The
Crypto Company (the “Company”, “Crypto”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was
incorporated in the State of Utah on December 2, 2013, under the
name Croe, Inc. On October 3, 2017, the Company filed Articles of
Conversion with the Utah Secretary of State and the Nevada
Secretary of State to effectively change its state of Incorporation
to Nevada and filed Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada
Secretary of State to change its name to The Crypto
Company.
Crypto
Sub, Inc. (formerly known as The Crypto Company) (“Crypto Sub”) was
incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 9, 2017 (“Inception”).
On June 7, 2017, Crypto Sub completed a reverse acquisition of
Croe, Inc. as a result of a Stock Sale, Stock Dividend and Share
Exchange, each as described below and collectively referred to as
the “Acquisition”. On October 3, 2017, we changed our name to The
Crypto Company to better reflect our new business. We are located
at 22809 Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California and our
telephone number is (424) 228-9955. Our website can be accessed at
www.thecryptocompany.com. The information contained on or that may
be obtained from our website is not a part of this report. Crypto
Sub and CoinTracking, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company
(“CoinTracking”), are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
Company.
Prior
to the Acquisition, the Company was an early stage fitness apparel
company with the mission of creating supportive, protective, and
innovative sports bras and fitness apparel.
During
the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company had two principal
business segments that generated revenues and incurred expenses,
both of which have ceased operations as of the date of this Annual
Report:
The
cryptocurrency investment segment generated revenues that primarily
consisted of amounts earned through trading activities of
cryptocurrencies. The Company recorded its investments in
cryptocurrency as indefinite lived intangible assets, at cost less
impairment, and are reported as long-term assets in the condensed
consolidated balance sheets. Realized gains and losses on sales of
investments in cryptocurrency, and impairment losses, are included
in other income/(expense) in the condensed consolidated statement
of operations and comprehensive income.
The Company also generated software subscription revenues through
CoinTracking GmbH and generated minimal amounts of consulting
revenue. The software subscription segment consisted primarily of
amounts earned through subscriptions to the CoinTracking GmbH
website. We completely divested CoinTracking GmbH on January 2,
2019.
The
Acquisition
Stock Sale
On
June 7, 2017, the Company entered into (i) a Share Purchase
Agreement (the “Restricted Share Purchase Agreement”) with Crypto
Sub and John B. Thomas P.C., in its sole capacity as representative
for certain shareholders of the Company; and (ii) a Share Purchase
Agreement (the “Free Trading Share Purchase Agreement”, and
together with the Restricted Share Purchase Agreement, the “Share
Purchase Agreements”) with Crypto Sub, Uptick Capital, LLC (“Uptick
Capital”) and John B. Thomas P.C., in its sole capacity as
representative for certain shareholders of the Company. Pursuant to
the Share Purchase Agreements, the shareholders of the Company sold
an aggregate of 11,235,000 shares of common stock of the Company to
Crypto Sub and 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company to
Uptick Capital, representing an aggregate of 100% of the issued and
outstanding common stock of the Company as of such date, for
aggregate proceeds of $411,650, including escrow and other
transaction-related fees to the selling shareholders (the “Stock
Sale”). A portion of the acquisition cost equal to $399,300 is
expensed as a general and administrative expense in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
10,000,000
shares held by Deborah Thomas, the former Chief Executive Officer,
principal accounting and financial officer and director of the
Company, representing approximately 88.22% of the outstanding
common stock of the Company immediately prior to the Stock Sale,
were sold for $0.031 per share, and an aggregate of 1,335,000
shares held by the remaining shareholders of the Company was sold
at a price of $0.075 per share.
In
connection with the Stock Sale, effective as of June 7, 2017, (i)
Deborah Thomas resigned as Chief Executive Officer, principal
accounting officer and director of the Company and Elliott Polatoff
resigned as Secretary and director of the Company; and (ii) Michael
Poutre was appointed Chief Executive Officer and sole director of
the Company, James Gilbert was appointed President of the Company
and Ron Levy was appointed Chief Operating Officer of the
Company.
Stock Dividend
On
June 7, 2017, Crypto Sub issued to its shareholders a stock
dividend (the “Stock Dividend”) of 10,918,007 shares of common
stock of the Company acquired through the Stock Sale, distributed
on a pro-rata basis, such that the shareholders of Crypto Sub
received fifteen shares of common stock of the Company for each
share of common stock of Crypto Sub held as of June 6,
2017.
Immediately
following the consummation of the Stock Sale and the distribution
of the Stock Dividend, Crypto Sub held 316,993 shares, representing
4.26% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the
Company, and the shareholders of Crypto Sub, collectively, held
10,918,007 shares, representing 94.40% of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Of the 316,993
shares held by Crypto Sub, 129,238 shares were transferred to
certain officers and consultants of Crypto Sub in exchange for
their services related to the Transaction, and the remaining shares
were retained by Crypto Sub.
Share Exchange
On
June 7, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement
(the “Exchange Agreement”) with Michael Poutre, in his sole
capacity as representative for the shareholders of Crypto Sub,
pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of common stock
of Crypto Sub was exchanged for shares of common stock of the
Company (the “Share Exchange”), resulting in the aggregate issuance
of 7,026,614 shares of common stock of the Company, on a pro-rata
basis, as provided on the Exchange Agreement, to the shareholders
of Crypto Sub, in exchange for 727,867 shares of common stock of
Crypto Sub.
The
Stock Sale, the Stock Dividend and the Share Exchange are
collectively referred to as the “Acquisition”. Immediately
following the Acquisition, (i) Crypto Sub became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company; (ii) all of the former shareholders of
Crypto Sub became shareholders of the Company, on a pro-rata basis;
and (iii) the operations of the Company solely consisted of the
operations of Crypto Sub.
Acquisition
and Disposition of CoinTracking GmbH
On
January 16, 2018, pursuant to an Equity Purchase Agreement (the
“CoinTracking Purchase Agreement”) entered into on December 22,
2017, by and among the Company, CoinTracking, Kachel Holding GmbH,
an entity formed under the laws of the Republic of Germany (“Kachel
Holding”), and Dario Kachel, an individual, CoinTracking purchased
from Kachel Holding 12,525 shares of CoinTracking GmbH, an entity
formed under the laws of Germany (“CoinTracking GmbH”),
representing 50.1% of the equity interests in CoinTracking GmbH,
for a purchase price of (i) $4,736,400 in cash, and (ii) 473,640
shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share,
subject to adjustment as provided in the CoinTracking Purchase
Agreement (the “CoinTracking Acquisition”). The CoinTracking
Acquisition was consummated on January 26, 2018.
On
December 28, 2018, CoinTracking agreed on the purchase and
assignment of shares, agreements on a purchase price of the loan
agreement and a compensation agreement, with Kachel Holding and
CoinTracking GmbH pursuant to which, on January 2, 2019,
CoinTracking sold 12,525 shares of equity interest in CoinTracking
GmbH, representing 50.1% of the outstanding equity interests in
CoinTracking GmbH and CoinTracking’s entire equity ownership stake
in CoinTracking GmbH, to Kachel Holding in exchange for $2,200,000,
of which (i) $1,000,000 was paid in cash to CoinTracking and (ii)
$1,200,000 was applied toward the repayment of an outstanding loan
of $1,500,000 from CoinTracking GmbH to CoinTracking under the
CoinTracking Note (the “CoinTracking Disposition”).
In
2019, the Company had holdings of cryptocurrency from its
investment segment, and therefore has classified those assets as
assets held for sale in its consolidated balance sheets, and
reports current operating results as discontinued operations in the
consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December
31, 2019. The balance of cryptocurrency assets on our balance sheet
as of December 31, 2019 was zero.
Overview
of Our Business
We
are engaged in the business of providing consulting services and
education for distributed ledger technologies (“blockchain”), for
the building of technological infrastructure and enterprise
blockchain technology solutions. We currently generate revenues and
incur expenses solely through these consulting
operations.
We
have disposed of our entire ownership interest in CoinTracking
GmbH, and also divested substantially all of our cryptocurrency
assets.
Strategic Acquisitions
In
furtherance of the development of our blockchain consulting
services, we may seek from time to time additional strategic
acquisitions of majority and minority equity interests in entities
and technology that demonstrate (i) established, protectable and
scalable revenues; (ii) substantial market share; (iii) established
brand equity and customer loyalty; (iv) proprietary technology with
competitive advantages; (v) quality personnel, and (vi) strategic
access to international markets.
Media Opportunities
We
engage in public discourse on an ongoing basis and host roundtable
webinars to educate the public about blockchain technology and
intend to expand our presence at industry conferences to develop
and expand our community and content network. We do not express
opinions regarding the advisability of investing in any digital
asset or in the digital asset marketplace, and we do not receive
compensation in connection with these roundtable
webinars.
Intellectual Property
We
regard our service marks as having significant value and as being
important factors in the marketing of our products and services.
Our policy is to pursue registration of our marks whenever possible
and to oppose vigorously any infringement of our marks.
Market
Overview
Blockchain
The
blockchain is a decentralized database or digital “ledger” of
transactions across a peer-to-peer network of computers or “nodes”
that use the underlying infrastructure of the Internet to validate
and process valuable transactions. While using the blockchain,
participants can transfer information across the Internet without
the need of a central third party. In a financial transaction, the
buyer and seller interact directly without the need for
verification by a trusted third-party intermediary. The actual
record of the transaction is pseudonymous, but the identifying
information is encrypted, preventing personal information from
being shared.
The
primary benefits of blockchain include the following:
|
● |
Fraud
reduction: Blockchain technology has the potential to
positively disrupt most industries since it can work for nearly
every type of transaction that involves value, including money,
property, and goods. From a business perspective, the technology
may be leveraged for process improvement, helping to reduce human
error, prevent fraud, and streamline data storage. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Transparency:
Financial organizations may use the blockchain to store records
digitally and leverage the technology for any type of transaction
that needs to be verified by a trusted third party. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Security:
Transactions may include transferring digital or physical assets,
verifying chain of custody, and protecting intellectual property.
In an era with increasing cybercrime and strict regulatory
requirements, blockchain offers a highly fraud-resistant technology
that can protect and authenticate almost any type of
transaction. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Efficiency:
Both Permissioned and Public blockchains offer significant
improvements in efficiency to retail and business implementations
by reducing cost and time in the duplicate databases and ledgers
that companies and intermediaries must maintain in the absence of a
shared, trusted and immutable system. |
Competition
We
have a number of competitors, ranging in size, consisting primarily
of other similar consulting firms. We believe our main competitors
are ConsenSys, Natsoft Corporation, Quest Global Technologies, and
CGI Inc. In addition, global audit and assurance firms typically
provide consulting services.
Governmental Regulations
Government
regulation of blockchain is being actively considered by the United
States federal government via a number of agencies (including the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the U.S.
Commodities Future Trading Commission (“CFTC”), Federal Trade
Commission (“FTC”), and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
(“FinCEN”) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury) and in other
countries. Other regulatory bodies are governmental or
semi-governmental and have shown an interest in regulating or
investigating companies engaged in the blockchain business (NASDAQ,
NYSE, FINRA, state securities commissions).
Blockchain
regulations are in a nascent state with agencies investigating
businesses and their practices, gathering information, and
generally trying to understand the risks and uncertainties in order
to protect investors in these businesses. Regulations will
certainly increase, in many cases, although it is presently not
possible to know how they will increase, how regulations will apply
to the Company’s businesses, or when they will be effective.
Various bills have also been proposed in congress for
adoption-related to the Company’s business which may be adopted and
have an impact on it. As the regulatory and legal environment
evolves, the Company may become subject to new laws and further
regulation by the SEC and other agencies, although the Company is
not currently trading in digital assets and has no intention to
trade in digital assets.
Employees
As of
December 31, 2019, we had two full-time employees and three
part-time employees. We believe that our future success will depend
in part on our continued ability to attract, hire and retain
qualified personnel. None of our employees is represented by a
labor union, and we believe that our employee relations are
good.

On
December 19, 2017, the SEC implemented the Trade Halt, pursuant to
Section 12(k) of the Exchange Act, which temporarily suspended
trading of the Company’s stock on the OTC Pink market until January
3, 2018. The Trade Halt was lifted by the SEC as of January 4,
2018, at which time the OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTC Markets”),
automatically, as a matter of course, discontinued the display of
quotes for our common stock and moved our common stock to the OTC
Grey market. Securities listed on the OTC Grey market are tradable,
but broker-dealers of such securities are unable to publicly quote
such securities. In a letter
to us dated as of November 22, 2019, the SEC Division of
Enforcement advised us that the investigation has concluded and
that the SEC will not seek to impose any fines or file any
enforcement action against us.
Holders
As of
May 9, 2020 there were 200 holders of record of our common
stock.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. These statements relate to future events or our
future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology including, “could” “may”,
“will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”,
“estimate”, “predict”, “potential” and the negative of these terms
or other comparable terminology. These statements are only
predictions. Actual events or results may differ
materially.
While
these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which
they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current
judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results
will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates,
predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance
suggested in this Annual Report.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained
elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical
information, the following discussion contains forward-looking
statements based upon current expectations that are subject to
risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially
from those referred to herein due to a number of factors,
including, but not limited to, risks described in the section
titled “Risk Factors”.
We
are engaged in the business of providing consulting services and
education for distributed ledger technologies (“blockchain”), for
the building of technological infrastructure and enterprise
blockchain technology solutions. We currently generate revenues and
incur expenses solely through these consulting and education
operations. We have disposed of our entire ownership interest in
CoinTracking GmbH and also divested substantially all of our
cryptocurrency assets owned by our former cryptocurrency investment
segment, which has ceased operations.
Recent
Events
COVID-19 Pandemic
On
March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the
COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the
devastating effects on human life, the pandemic is having a
negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to
disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most
U.S. states and many countries have issued policies intended to
stop or slow the further spread of the disease.
COVID-19
and the U.S.’s response to the pandemic are significantly affecting
the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance
as to the effect the COVID-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result,
the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject
to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the effects on the
economy, the markets we serve, our business or our
operations.
Discontinued Operations
As a result of the sale of CoinTracking’s entire equity ownership
stake in CoinTracking GmbH, and a strategic shift in our business
in the fourth quarter of 2018 away from cryptocurrency investing to
blockchain consulting and education, the operating results
associated with these assets and liabilities have been reclassified
to give effect to these changes and are reported as discontinued
operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all
periods presented. Loss from discontinued operations was $84,849
and $16,376,131 for the years ended December 31, 2019 ended
December 31, 2018, respectively. The 2018 loss includes an
impairment of goodwill of $9,356,105, and impairment of other
intangible assets of $3,743,480 related to CoinTracking GmbH. The
loss from discontinued operations attributable to the Crypto
Company was $9,859,271 for the year ended December 31, 2018, which
includes our 50.1% ownership of CoinTracking GmbH. CoinTracking
GmbH was acquired in 2018, and therefore, there was no impact on
the Company’s prior year results.
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company generated revenues
and incurred expenses primarily through the business of providing
consulting services and education for distributed ledger
technologies (“blockchain”), for the building of technological
infrastructure and enterprise blockchain technology
solutions.
See
Note 15- Discontinued Operations to our Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report for
further details of the results of CoinTracking GmbH.
Results
of Continuing Operations
Comparison of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December
31, 2018
Revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2019, revenues relating to
consulting services were $65,743, compared to $5,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2018. The increase is attributable to higher
level of activity in generating consulting services with one
client
General
and administrative expenses and share based
compensation
For the year ended December 31, 2019, our general and
administrative expenses were $1,750,668, a decrease of 69.4%
compared to $5,730,063 for the year ended December 31, 2018.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs
relating to professional services, payroll and payroll-related
expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses. Professional
services included in general and administrative expenses consist
primarily of contracting fees, consulting fees, accounting fees,
and legal costs. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2019
reflects decreased costs associated with being a public company, in
particular, outside consulting, legal, and accounting costs.
Share-based compensation was $-0- for the year ended December 31,
2019, a decline of 100.0% compared to $3,302,471 for the year ended
December 31, 2018. Share-based compensation decreased due to no
issuances of the Company’s common stock.
Liquidity,
Going Concern and Capital Resources
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using the
accrual method of accounting in accordance with United States
(“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and have
been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant
losses and experienced negative cash flows since inception. As of
December 31, 2019, we had cash on hand of $1,611. Our loss before
provision for income taxes from continuing operations was
$1,808,622 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our working
capital was negative $1,874,603 as of December 31, 2019. In
addition, on January 2, 2019, we sold our equity interest in
CoinTracking GmbH for $2,200,000, of which (i) $1,000,000 was
received in cash and (ii) $1,200,000 was applied toward the
repayment of an outstanding loan in the amount of $1,500,000 from
CoinTracking GmbH.
Going Concern
The cash received from the liquidation of our investment in
cryptocurrency helped fund our operations during the year ended
December 31, 2019, and the funds received from the sale of
CoinTracking GmbH is projected to fund a portion of operations in
2019. As of December 31, 2019, our accumulated deficit amounted to
$30,265,171. As a result of our history of losses and financial
condition, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern.
The
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon us
generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the
necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our
liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come
due. Management is evaluating different strategies to obtain
financing to fund our expenses and achieve a level of revenue
adequate to support our current cost structure. Financing
strategies may include, but are not limited to, private placements
of capital stock, debt borrowings, partnerships and/or
collaborations. There can be no assurance that any of these
future-funding efforts will be successful, that we will be able to
replace the revenues lost as a result of the sale of CoinTracking
GmbH, or that we will achieve our projected level of revenues in
2020 and beyond. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
Operating
Activities
We
have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant
expenses in the areas of professional fees and contracting
services.
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December
31, 2019 was $1,155,304 compared to $6,274,104 for the year ended
December 31, 2018. The decrease of $5,118,800 was primarily due to
a decrease in our net loss to $1,808,622 for the year ended
December 31, 2019 compared to $25,420,109 for the year ended
December 31, 2018. In addition, our net realized gain on
investments in cryptocurrency decreased to $72,634 for the year
ended December 31, 2019 from $1,303,130 for the year ended December
31, 2018. Also, our non-cash share-based compensation decreased to
$0 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $4,213,475 for
the year ended December 31, 2018. Finally, depreciation and
amortization decreased to $22,557 for the year ended December 31,
2019 compared to $1,214,827 for the year ended December 31,
2018.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2019 was $1,079,467 compared to net cash used of
$1,630,966 for the year ended December 31, 2018, due to the sale of
CoinTracking GmbH for $2,200,000, net of acquired cash of
$1,000,000.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended
December 31, 2019 was $75,000, compared to $250,057 in the period
from Inception to December 31, 2018. The decrease of $175,057 was
primarily the result of a decrease in aggregate proceeds from sales
of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2018 offset by the
issuance of $75,000 in convertible notes in 2019.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Stock-Based Compensation
In
accordance with ASC No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation
(“ASC 718”), the Company measures the compensation costs of
stock-based compensation arrangements based on the grant date fair
value of granted instruments and recognizes the costs in financial
statements over the period during which employees are required to
provide services. Stock-based compensation arrangements include
stock options.
Equity
instruments (“instruments”) issued to non-employees are recorded on
the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC
718. ASC No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC
505”), defines the measurement date and recognition period for such
instruments. In general, the measurement date is (a) when a
performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) when the
earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete and (ii)
the instruments are vested. The compensation cost is remeasured at
fair value at each reporting period when the award vests. As a
result, stock option-based payments to non-employees can result in
significant volatility in compensation expense.
The
Company accounts for its stock-based compensation using the
Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock option
awards. Using this model, fair value is calculated based on
assumptions with respect to the (i) expected volatility of the
Company’s common stock price, (ii) expected life of the award,
which for options is the period of time over which employees and
non-employees are expected to hold their options prior to exercise,
and (iii) risk-free interest rate.
Fair Value Measurements
The
Company recognizes and discloses the fair value of its assets and
liabilities using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to valuations based
upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation
(Level 3 measurements). Each level of input has different levels of
subjectivity and difficulty involved in determining fair
value.
|
Level
1 |
Inputs
are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities
in active markets at the measurable date. |
|
|
|
|
Level
2 |
Inputs,
other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data
at the measurement date. |
|
|
|
|
Level
3 |
Unobservable
inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement
date. |
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities,
including cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived intangible Assets
We
test for the impairment of our goodwill and indefinite-lived assets
at least annually and whenever events or circumstances occur
indicating that a possible impairment has been incurred.
We
perform our annual goodwill impairment test on the first day of our
fourth quarter based on the income approach, also known as the
discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method, which utilizes the present
value of future cash flows to estimate fair value. We also use the
market approach, which utilizes market price data of companies
engaged in the same or a similar line of business as that of our
company, to estimate fair value. A reconciliation of the two
methods is performed to assess the reasonableness of fair value of
each of the reporting units.
The
future cash flows used under the DCF method are derived from
estimates of future revenues, operating income, working capital
requirements and capital expenditures, which in turn reflect
specific global, industry and market conditions. The discount rate
developed is based on data and factors relevant to the economies in
which the business operates and other risks associated with those
cash flows, including the potential variability in the amount and
timing of the cash flows. A terminal growth rate is applied to the
final year of the projected period and reflects our estimate of
stable growth to perpetuity. We then calculate the present value of
the respective cash flows for each reporting unit to arrive at the
fair value using the income approach and then determine the
appropriate weighting between the fair value estimated using the
income approach and the fair value estimated using the market
approach. Finally, we compare the estimated fair value of our
goodwill and indefinite-lived assets to its respective carrying
value in order to determine if the goodwill assigned to each
reporting unit is potentially impaired. In January 2017, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2017-04,
“Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the
Accounting for Goodwill Impairment”, which eliminated Step 2 from
the goodwill impairment test. If the fair value of the asset
exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further
testing is required. If the fair value of the asset is less than
the carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized for the
amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value;
however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of
goodwill allocated to that asset. This update is effective for
annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for
interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing
dates after January 1, 2017.
Significant
assumptions used include management’s estimates of future growth
rates, the amount and timing of future operating cash flows,
capital expenditures, discount rates, as well as market and
industry conditions and relevant comparable company multiples for
the market approach. Assumptions utilized are highly judgmental,
especially given the role technology plays in driving the demand
for consulting services in the blockchain technology
space.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes consulting revenue when the service is rendered,
the fee for arrangement is fixed or determinable, and
collectability is reasonably assured.
Prior to January 2, 2019, CoinTracking GmbH accounted for a
contract when it had approval and commitment from all parties, the
rights of the parties and payment terms are identified, the
contract has commercial substance and collectability of
consideration is probable. Revenue is recognized when control of
the promised services is transferred to the Company’s customers
over time, and in an amount that reflects the consideration the
Company was contractually due in exchange for those services. Most
of the Company’s contracts with customers were single, or had few
distinct performance obligations, and the transaction price was
allocated to each performance obligation using the stand-alone
selling price.
CoinTracking GmbH’s revenue in 2018 and prior periods was primarily
derived directly from users in the form of subscriptions.
Subscription revenue is presented net of credits and credit card
chargebacks. Subscribers pay in advance, primarily by PayPal or
cryptocurrencies, subject to certain conditions identified in our
terms and conditions. Revenue is initially deferred and recognized
using the straight-line method over the term of the applicable
subscription period, which primarily range from annual to
perpetual.
Income Taxes
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for expected future
consequences of events that have been included in the financial
statements or tax returns. Under the asset and liability method,
deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of
assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted
tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the
amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence,
are not expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes
represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the
period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Income-tax
payable of $800 reflects the minimum franchise tax for the State of
California.
When
tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions
taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing
authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the
merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that
would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is
recognized in the financial statements in the period during which,
based on all available evidence, management believes it is more
likely than not that the position will be sustained upon
examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation
processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated
with other positions. Tax positions that meet the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the
largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely
of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing
authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax
positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above
is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits along
with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to
the taxing authorities upon examination.
Off-Balance
Sheet Transactions
We do
not have any off-balance sheet transactions.
Trends,
Events and Uncertainties
COVID-19 Pandemic
The
COVID-19 pandemic and the U.S.’s response to the pandemic are
having an adverse effect on the global economy, leading to
disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most
U.S. states and many countries have issued policies intended to
stop or slow the further spread of the disease. There are no
comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the
COVID-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect
of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do
not yet know the full extent of the effects on the economy, the
markets we serve, our business or our operations
The
blockchain technology market is dynamic and unpredictable. Although
we will undertake compliance efforts, including efforts with
commercially reasonable diligence, there can be no assurance that
there will not be a new or unforeseen law, regulation or risk
factor which will materially impact our ability to continue our
business as currently operated or raise additional capital to
foster our continued growth.
We
cannot assure you that our consulting business will develop as
planned, that we will ever earn revenues sufficient to support our
operations, or that we will ever be profitable. Furthermore, since
we have no committed source of financing, we cannot assure you that
we will be able to raise money as and when we need it to continue
our operations. If we cannot raise funds as and when we need them,
we may be required to severely curtail, or even to cease, our
operations.
Other
than as discussed above and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form
10-K, we are not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that
are likely to have a material effect on our financial
condition.

Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
Our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of December 31,
2019. Based upon (1) that evaluation, and (2) the fact that the
Company restated prior period financial statements in the Annual
Report for the Year ended December 31, 2018 to correct material
errors, our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective as of December 31, 2019, due to the material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in
connection with the Company’s previous accounting treatment for its
investments in cryptocurrency, as well as the material weaknesses
in our internal control over financial reporting described in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,
and our Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended
March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019, and September 30, 2019, which have
not yet been fully remediated.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over
financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)
promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or
under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer and effected by our Board of Directors,
management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) and includes those policies and procedures
that:
|
● |
pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets; |
|
|
|
|
● |
provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP,
and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of our management and directors;
and |
|
|
|
|
● |
provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on our financial
statements. |
All
systems of internal control, no matter how well designed, have
inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems deemed to be
effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to
financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of
inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Furthermore, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in disclosure controls and procedures, such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a
company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our
management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. The framework used in
carrying out this evaluation was set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission in
“Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)”.
Based
on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of December
31, 2019, our internal control over financial reporting was not
effective due to the following matters involving internal controls
and procedures that our management considered to be material
weaknesses:
|
● |
we
have not performed a risk assessment and mapped our processes to
control objectives; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we
have not implemented comprehensive entity-level internal
controls; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we
have not implemented adequate system and manual controls;
and |
|
|
|
|
● |
we do
not have sufficient segregation of duties. |
Management’s Actions and Plans to Remediate Material
Weaknesses
Management
is responsible for implementing changes and improvements to
internal control over financial reporting and for remediating the
control deficiencies that gave rise to the material weaknesses.
Management believes that progress has been made to remediate the
underlying causes of the material weaknesses in internal control
over financial reporting and has taken the following steps to
remediate such material weaknesses:
|
● |
Implemented
a formal quarterly review of financial information with our Chief
Executive Officer and each managing director that oversees a
portion of the business. These individuals provide a certification
that the operating results are accurate to the best of their
knowledge. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Account
reconciliations are now prepared for all material accounts and
independently reviewed. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Expenditures
are approved by our Chief Executive Officer. |
Management
plans to take the following steps to further remediate the material
weaknesses as follows:
|
● |
Perform
a risk assessment and map processes to control objectives and,
where necessary, implement and document internal controls in
accordance with the 2013 Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Our
entity-level controls are, generally, informal and we intend to
evaluate current processes, supplement where necessary, and
document requirements. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Evaluate
system and manual controls, identify specific weaknesses, and
implement a comprehensive system of internal controls. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Assess
and remediate personnel weaknesses. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Appoint
a Chief Financial Officer with public company
experience. |
Management
understands that in order to remediate the Company’s material
weaknesses, additional segregation of duties, changes in personnel
and technologies are necessary. We will not consider these material
weaknesses fully remediated until management has tested those
internal controls and found them to be operating
effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Other
than as described above, there have been no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting during the three-month period
ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Our
directors and executive officers and any beneficial owner of more
than 10% of our common stock, as well as certain affiliates of
those persons, must file reports with the SEC showing the number of
shares of common stock they beneficially own and any changes in
their beneficial ownership. Based on our review of these reports
and written representations of our directors and executive
officers, we believe that all required reports in 2018 were filed
in a timely manner, except that, as a result of administrative
errors, one Form 4 reporting one transaction was not timely filed
on behalf of Mr. Strickland. No transactions occurred in 2019 that
required filing a Form 4 or Form 3.
Change
in Control
As of
the date of this report, we are not aware of any arrangements,
including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation
of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of
the Company.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions, and Director Independence
SEC
regulations define the related person transactions that require
disclosure to include any transaction, arrangement or relationship
in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1%
of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two
completed fiscal years in which we were or are to be a participant
and in which a related person had or will have a direct or indirect
material interest. A related person is: (i) an executive officer,
director or director nominee of the Company, (ii) a beneficial
owner of more than 5% of our common stock, (iii) an immediate
family member of an executive officer, director or director nominee
or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, or (iv)
any entity that is owned or controlled by any of the foregoing
persons or in which any of the foregoing persons has a substantial
ownership interest or control.
From
January 1 2019, through the date of this Annual Report on Form
10-K, described below are certain transactions or series of
transactions between us and certain related persons. Information
relating to employment agreements entered into by the Company and
its executive officers and executive officer compensation can be
found at Item 11 - Executive Compensation.
We
had a services agreement with Full Stack Finance for chief
financial officer and accounting outsource services. Ivan
Ivankovich, the Company’s former CFO who resigned December 6, 2019,
is the Co-Managing Director of Full Stack Finance. We incurred
$55,704 in fees to Full Stack Finance during the year ended
December 31, 2019.
Policies
and Procedures for Related Person Transactions
While
our board of directors has not adopted a formal written related
person transaction policy that sets forth the policies and
procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related
person transactions, it the Company’s practice and procedure to
present all transactions arrangements, relationships or any series
of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which
the Company was or is to be a participant and a related person had
or will have a direct or indirect material interest, to the board
of directors for approval.
Director
Independence
Our
determination of the independence of our directors is made using
the definition of “independent” contained in the listing standards
of the Nasdaq Stock Market. On the basis of information solicited
from each director, the board has determined that each of Anthony
Strickland and Holly Ruxin is independent within the meaning of
such rules.

CRYPTO COMPANY
INDEX
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To
the shareholders and the board of directors of The Crypto
Company
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The
Crypto Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related
statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash
flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years
then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
Substantial
Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit.
In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash
flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

infrastructure and enterprise blockchain technology solutions. The
Company currently generates revenues and incurs expenses solely
through these consulting operations.
Unless
expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms

(this “Annual Report”) refer to The Crypto Company and, where
appropriate, its wholly owned subsidiaries, Crypto Sub, Inc., a

limited liability company (“CoinTracking”); and Malibu Blockchain,
LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Malibu
Blockchain”).
During
the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company generated revenues
and incurred expenses primarily through the business of providing

technologies (“blockchain”), for the building of technological
infrastructure and enterprise blockchain technology solutions, both
of which have ceased operations as of the date of this Annual
Report.

of CoinTracking GmbH for the period ended January 2, 2019. On
January 2, 2019, the Company sold its entire equity ownership stake
in CoinTracking GmbH. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Recent
Developments
On
December 28, 2018, CoinTracking entered into an agreement on the
purchase and assignment of shares, agreements on a purchase price
of loan agreement, and a compensation agreement (collectively, the
“Agreement”), pursuant to the laws of the Republic of Germany, with
Kachel Holding GmbH, an entity formed under the laws of the
Republic of Germany (“Kachel Holding”), and CoinTracking GmbH. On
January 2, 2019, pursuant to the Agreement, CoinTracking sold
12,525 shares of equity interest in CoinTracking GmbH, representing
50.1% of the equity interests in CoinTracking GmbH and 100% of
CoinTracking’s holdings in CoinTracking GmbH, to Kachel Holding in
exchange for $2,200,000, of which (i) $1,000,000 was paid in cash
to CoinTracking and (ii) $1,200,000 was applied toward the
repayment of an outstanding loan in the amount of $1,500,000 from
CoinTracking GmbH to CoinTracking.
As a
result of the sale of CoinTracking’s entire equity ownership stake
in CoinTracking GmbH, and a strategic shift in the Company’s
business in the fourth quarter of 2018 away from cryptocurrency
investing to blockchain consulting and education, the operating
results associated with these assets and liabilities were
reclassified to give effect to these changes and were reported as
discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of
operations for 2018. In 2019, the Company has holdings of
cryptocurrency from its investment segment, and therefore has
classified those assets as assets held for sale in its consolidated
balance sheets, and reports current operating results as
discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of
operations for the current year.
Going
Concern – The Company’s consolidated financial statements are
prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with
United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of
liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has
incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flows
since Inception. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had cash of
$1,611. In addition, the Company’s net loss was $1,808,622 for the
year ended December 31, 2019. The Company’s working capital was
negative $1,949,603 as of December 31, 2019.
The
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the
Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or
obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay
its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they
come due. Management is evaluating different strategies to obtain
financing to fund the Company’s expenses and achieve a level of
revenue adequate to support the Company’s current cost structure.
Financing strategies may include, but are not limited to, private
placements of capital stock, debt borrowings, partnerships and/or
collaborations. There can be no assurance that any of these
future-funding efforts will be successful or that the Company will
be able to replace the revenues lost as a result of the sale of
CoinTracking GmbH, for 2020 and beyond. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use
of estimates – The preparation of these consolidated financial
statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates
on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it
believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions
include but are not limited to the recoverability and useful lives
of long-lived assets, allocation of revenue on software
subscriptions, valuation of goodwill from business acquisitions,
valuation and recoverability of investments, valuation allowances
of deferred taxes, and share-based compensation expenses. Actual
results may differ from these estimates. In addition, any change in
these estimates or their related assumptions could have an adverse
effect on the Company’s operating results.
Cash
and cash equivalents – The Company defines its cash and cash
equivalents to include only cash on hand and certain highly liquid
investments with original maturities of ninety days or less. The
Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at financial
institutions, the balances of which may, at times, exceed federally
insured limits. Management believes that the risk of loss due to
the concentration is minimal.
Investments
in cryptocurrency – Investments are comprised of several
cryptocurrencies the Company owns, of which a majority is Bitcoin,
that are actively traded on exchanges. The Company records its
investments as indefinite lived intangible assets at cost less
impairment and are reported as long-term assets in the consolidated
balance sheets. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life
is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more
frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur
indicating that it is more likely than not that the
indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the
carrying amount exceeds its fair value. In testing for impairment,
the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative
assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an
impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely
than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test
is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is
required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent
an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost
basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not
permitted. The primary exchanges and principal markets the Company
utilizes for its trading are Kraken, Bittrex, Poloniex and
Bitstamp.
Realized
gains and losses on sales of investments in cryptocurrency, and
impairment losses, are included in other income/(expense) in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investments
– non-cryptocurrency
In May 2019, we received tokens (Cosmos) and immediately liquidated
them for $70,634 in proceeds.
As of
December 31, 2018, the Company has invested $667,818 as part of
nine financings, including $500,000 during the year ended December
31, 2018. The investments include $417,818 invested in accordance
with eight token pre-sale and simple agreement for future tokens
(“SAFT”) agreements. The agreements provide for the issuance of
tokens in anticipation of a future token generation event, with the
number of tokens predetermined based on the price established in
each respective agreement. In addition, the Company invested
$250,000 as part of a financing in accordance with a simple
agreement for future equity (“SAFE”) agreement, representing 4%
interest, at the time of the investment, in a private enterprise.
The Company’s SAFE investment may take the form of equity in the
future, relating to a potential equity financing or initial public
offering and a token grant in the event of a successful Initial
Coin Offering (“ICO”) by the enterprise.
The
Company received tokens for $255,763 of its investments, at cost,
during 2018 which have been transferred to an active exchange and
included in Investments in Cryptocurrency in the consolidated
balance sheets.
The
Company has evaluated the guidance in Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) No. 325-20 Investments – Other, in determining
to account for its investments, non-cryptocurrency using the cost
method since the investments are not marketable and do not give the
Company significant influence. The Company has determined that
$160,050 of its remaining token pre-sale or SAFT investments as of
December 31, 2018 were impaired as the Company determined that a
token generation event and trading on an active change were
remote.
During
the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company determined that its
SAFE investment is impaired as the enterprise changed its primary
business model and requires additional financing to bring its
products to market. Therefore, the Company has recorded an
impairment loss of $250,000, representing the full value of its
investment.
Equipment
– Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life ranging from
three to five years. Normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as
incurred. Expenditures that materially adapt, improve, or alter the
nature of the underlying assets are capitalized. When equipment is
retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain
or loss is credited or charged to income.
Impairment
of long-lived assets – The Company analyzes its long-lived
assets, including intangible assets with finite useful lives
(subject to amortization) acquired in connection with the
acquisition of CoinTracking GmbH, for potential impairment.
Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets when indicators
of impairment are present, and for intangible assets acquired in
connection with acquisitions, the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the net carrying
amount of the assets. In such cases, the carrying values of assets
to be held and used are adjusted to their estimated fair value,
less estimated selling expenses. For the year ended December 31,
2018, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $2,749,646 on
its definite lived intangible assets related to CoinTracking GmbH,
classified as Held for Sale. On January 2, 2019, the Company sold
its entire equity ownership stake in CoinTracking GmbH.
Business
combination – The purchase price of an acquired company is
allocated between tangible and intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed from the acquired business based on their
estimated fair values with the residual of the purchase price
recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of acquired
businesses are included in our operating results from the dates of
acquisition.
Goodwill
and indefinite lived intangible assets – The Company records
the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the tangible
and identifiable intangible assets acquired as goodwill. Intangible
assets resulting from the acquisitions of entities accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting are recorded at the
estimated fair value of the assets acquired. Identifiable
intangible assets are comprised of purchased customer
relationships, trade names, and developed technologies. Intangible
assets subject to amortization are amortized over the period of
estimated economic benefit of five years. In accordance with ASC
350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), goodwill and
other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but
tested annually, on December 31, or more frequently if the Company
believes indicators of impairment exist. Indefinite lived
intangible assets also include investments in cryptocurrency (see
Investments in Cryptocurrency).
The
Company assesses whether goodwill impairment and indefinite lived
intangible assets exists using both qualitative and quantitative
assessments. The qualitative assessment involves determining
whether events or circumstances exist that indicate it is more
likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less
than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If based on this
qualitative assessment the Company determines it is more likely
than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its
carrying amount, or if the Company elects not to perform a
qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment is performed to
determine whether a goodwill impairment exists at the reporting
unit. The Company performed the annual impairment test for goodwill
and intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2018
using a quantitative assessment, and recorded an intangible asset
impairment of $993,833, and $9,356,105 for goodwill, related to the
intangible assets and goodwill acquired in connection with the
purchase of CoinTracking GmbH (See Note 9 – Goodwill and Intangible
Assets for further information).
In
addition, we capitalized certain costs incurred with developing our
CoinTracking SaaS platform in accordance with ASC 985-20, Software
— Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed once
technological feasibility has been established. Capitalized
software costs primarily include i) external direct costs of
services utilized in software development and ii) compensation and
related benefits for employees who are directly associated with
software development. We amortized our capitalized software costs
over a five-year period, reflecting the estimated useful lives of
the assets.
Foreign
Currency Translation – Results of foreign operations are
translated into USD using average rates prevailing throughout the
period, while assets and liabilities are translated in USD at
period end foreign exchange rates. Transactions gains and losses
resulting from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in
currencies other than the functional currency of the applicable
subsidiary are included in the consolidated statements of
operations, within other income, in the year in which the change
occurs. The Company’s functional currency is USD while the
functional currency for CoinTracking GmbH is in euros.
Income
taxes – Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
expected future consequences of events that have been included in
the financial statements or tax returns. Under the asset and
liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the differences between the financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the
currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is
provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on
available evidence, are not expected to be realized. The provision
for income taxes represents the tax payable for the period and the
change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the income tax payable of
$1,600 reflects the minimum franchise tax for the State of
California.
When
tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions
taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing
authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the
merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that
would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is
recognized in the financial statements in the period during which,
based on all available evidence, management believes it is more
likely than not that the position will be sustained upon
examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation
processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated
with other positions. Tax positions that meet the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the
largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely
of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing
authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax
positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above
is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits along
with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to
the taxing authorities upon examination.
As of
December 31, 2019, we are subject to taxation in the U.S., as well
as state and German taxes. The Company has not been audited by the
U.S. Internal Revenue Service, nor has the Company been audited by
any states or in Germany. On January 2, 2019, we sold our entire
equity ownership stake in CoinTracking GmbH.
Fair
value measurements – The Company recognizes and discloses the
fair value of its assets and liabilities using a hierarchy that
prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair
value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based
upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest
priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are
significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). Each level of
input has different levels of subjectivity and difficulty involved
in determining fair value.
|
Level
1 |
Inputs
are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities
in active markets at the measurable date. |
|
|
|
|
Level
2 |
Inputs,
other than quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observable
for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data
at the measurement date. |
|
|
|
|
Level
3 |
Unobservable
inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement
date. |
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities,
including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate
fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments.
Revenue
recognition – The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core
principle of the new revenue standard is that a company should
recognize 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 be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve
that core principle:
|
● |
Step
1: Identify the contract with the customer |
|
● |
Step
2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
|
● |
Step
3: Determine the transaction price |
|
● |
Step
4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in
the contract |
|
● |
Step
5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance
obligation |
In
order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a
customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in
the contract and identify each promised good or service that is
distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a
“distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both
of the following criteria are met: The customer can benefit from
the good or service either on its own or together with other
resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the
good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s
promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is
separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e.,
the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the
context of the contract).
If a
good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined
with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or
services is identified that is distinct.
The
transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods
or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract
with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or
both. When determining the transaction price, an entity must
consider the effects of all of the following:
Variable
consideration is included in the transaction price only to the
extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the
amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the
uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is
subsequently resolved. The transaction price is allocated to each
performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price
basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance
obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is
satisfied, at a point in time or over time as
appropriate.
The
Company adopted ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified
retrospective transition method for contracts as of the date of
initial application. There is no cumulative impact to the Company’s
retained earnings at January 1, 2018. See “Note 6 – Subscription
Revenue Recognition” for additional information on the impact to
the Company.
Share-based
compensation – In accordance with ASC No. 718, Compensation –
Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), the Company measures the
compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based
on the grant date fair value of granted instruments and recognizes
the costs in financial statements over the period during which
employees are required to provide services. Share-based
compensation arrangements include stock options.
Equity
instruments (“instruments”) issued to non-employees are recorded on
the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC
718. ASC No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC
505”), defines the measurement date and recognition period for such
instruments. In general, the measurement date is (a) when a
performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) when the
earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete and (ii)
the instruments are vested. The compensation cost is remeasured at
fair value at each reporting period when the award vests. As a
result, stock option-based payments to non-employees can result in
significant volatility in compensation expense.
The
Company accounts for its share-based compensation using the
Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock option
awards. Using this model, fair value is calculated based on
assumptions with respect to the (i) expected volatility of the
Company’s common stock price, (ii) expected life of the award,
which for options is the period of time over which employees and
non-employees are expected to hold their options prior to exercise,
and (iii) risk-free interest rate.
Net loss per common share – The Company reports earnings per
share (“EPS”) with a dual presentation of basic EPS and diluted
EPS. Basic EPS is computed as net income divided by the weighted
average of common shares for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the
potential dilution that could occur from common shares issued
through stock options, or warrants. For the year ended December 31,
2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company had no
potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Therefore, the basic
EPS and the diluted EPS are the same.
Marketing expense – Marketing expenses are charged to
operations, under general and administrative expenses. The Company
incurred $49,324 of marketing expenses for the year ended December
31, 2019, compared to $342,645 for year ended December 31,
2018.
Reclassifications
– Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Such reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations or cashflows.
NOTE
3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NTD: AUDITORS TO UPDATE NOTE
3
In
July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, Codification
Improvements. The amendments in this ASU clarify certain aspects of
the guidance related to reporting comprehensive income, debt
modification and extinguishment, income taxes related to stock
compensation, income taxes related to business combinations,
derivatives and hedging, fair value measurements, brokers and
dealers liabilities, and plan accounting. This new standard is
effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within
those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The
adoption of ASU No. 2018-09 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value
Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the
Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments
in this ASU remove, add, and modify certain disclosures. The ASU
removes the following disclosure requirements from Topic 820: (1)
the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2
of the fair value hierarchy; (2) the policy for timing of transfers
between levels; (3) the valuation process for Level 3 fair value
measurements; and (4) certain other requirements for nonpublic
entities. The ASU adds the following disclosure requirements: (1)
the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included
in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value
measurements held at the end of the reporting period and (2) the
range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used
to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain
unobservable inputs, disclosure of other quantitative information
may be more appropriate if the entity determines that other
quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational
method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to
develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU modifies
disclosure requirements in Topic 820 relating to timing of
liquidation of an investee’s assets, the disclosure of the date
when restrictions from redemption might lapse, the intention of the
measurement uncertainty disclosure, and certain other requirements
for nonpublic entities. This new standard is effective for annual
reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods,
beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-13
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles –
Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40):
Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud
Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments in
this ASU align the requirements for capitalizing implementation
costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract
with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs
incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting
arrangements that include an internal-use software). The amendments
in this ASU require an entity (customer) in a hosting arrangement
that is a service to (1) determine which implementation costs to
capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which
costs to expense; (2) expense the capitalized implementation costs
of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term
of the hosting arrangement; (3) apply the existing impairment
guidance to the capitalized implementation costs as if the costs
were long-lived assets; (4) present the expense related to the
capitalized implementation costs in the same line item in the
statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element
(service) of the arrangement and classify payments for capitalized
implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same
manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting
arrangements; and (5) present the capitalized implementation costs
in the statement of financial position in the same line item that a
prepayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement would
be presented. This new standard is effective for annual reporting
periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning
after December 15, 2019. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-15 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to
Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies
the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning
it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with
certain exceptions. The
ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock
Compensation, which currently only includes share-based payments
issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to
non-employees for goods and services. Consequently, the accounting
for share-based payments to non-employees and employees will be
substantially aligned. Management currently does not plan to early
adopt this guidance. The new
standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is
evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2018-07 will have on its
consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
In
July 2017, the FASB issued No. ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per
Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic
480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for
Certain Financial Instruments with Down Rounds and II. Replacement
of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial
Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. This
ASU changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked
financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round
features. When determining whether certain financial instruments
should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down
round feature no longer precludes equity classification when
assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own
stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements
for equity-classified instruments. The amendments also require
entities to recognize the effect of the down round feature on EPS
when it is triggered. ASU 2017-11 should be adopted retrospectively
or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption,
only to financial instruments outstanding as of the initial
application date. ASU 2017-11 will be effective for annual
reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods,
beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted,
including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU No.
2017-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
In
May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation – Stock
Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which
provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of
a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification
accounting. Essentially, an entity will not have to account for the
effects of a modification if: (1) The fair value of the modified
award is the same immediately before and after the modification;
(2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same
immediately before and after the modification; and (3) the
classification of the modified award as either an equity instrument
or liability instrument is the same immediately before and after
the modification. The new standard became effective for us on
January 1, 2018. Adoption of the ASU No. 2017-11 did not have a
significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and
related disclosures.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the
Definition of a Business (Topic 805). The new guidance that changes
the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating
when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The
guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the
fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single
identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if
so, the set of transferred assets and activities is not a business.
The guidance also requires a business to include at least one
substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more
closely aligning it with how outputs are described in ASC 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU is effective for
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for
interim periods within those years. Adoption of ASU No. 2017-01 did
not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial
statements and related disclosures.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test
for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350) which removes “Step Two” of the
goodwill impairment test, which required a hypothetical purchase
price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by
which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not
to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The ASU is effective for
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and for
interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted.
The adoption of ASU No. 2017-04 is not expected to have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and
related disclosures.
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842),
which, among other things, requires lessees to recognize most
leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and
obligations created by those leases. The new standard also requires
new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand
the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from
leases. The new standard became effective for us on January 1,
2019. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update
should be applied under a modified retrospective approach. Adoption
of ASU No. 2016-02 is not expected to have a significant impact on
our consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
NOTE
4 – ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION
On
January 26, 2018, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary,
CoinTracking, acquired 50.1% of the equity interest in CoinTracking
GmbH, for (i) $4,736,400 in cash and (ii) 473,640 shares of common
stock of the Company at $10 per share for a total purchase price
valued at $9,472,800. On the acquisition date, the fair market
value of $10 per share for the Company’s common stock was
determined using a trading range from November 2017, discounted
further due to lack of marketability. The Company used this
approach due to the lack of trading volume since (i) the stock
trading was suspended by the SEC in December 2017 and was moved to
OTC Grey market by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. on January 3, 2018,
(ii) stock sales to accredited investors on December 12, 2017, at
$7 per share, and (iii) a valuation performed as of March 31, 2018.
The equity purchase agreement between the Company and CoinTracking
GmbH included a purchase price adjustment pursuant to which the
consideration would increase if the share price of the Company’s
common stock closed below $10 per share on July 2, 2018. No
adjustment was required.
CoinTracking
GmbH provides its customers with the ability to view and monitor
their own cryptocurrency portfolios as well as tax calculation and
reporting services. Customers may not make trades through the
CoinTracking GmbH platform. The purpose of the acquisition was to
increase the Company’s presence in the digital asset industry and
build strategic alliances.
The
consolidated financial statements were prepared using the
acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805,
Business Combinations, and have been included in the Company’s
consolidated results as of the acquisition date with the Company
considered as the accounting acquirer and CoinTracking GmbH as the
accounting acquiree.
Accordingly,
consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition was
allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities of
CoinTracking GmbH based on estimated fair values as of the closing
date. The Company made a preliminary allocation of the
consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on the information available and preliminary
valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets
acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition-related costs were
expensed as incurred and were not considered to be
significant.
In
the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company
completed its allocation of the consideration transferred to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair value of
tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The result was the recording of intangible assets of $7,726,356,
noncontrolling interest of $9,434,984, and an additional adjustment
of $267,401 to net assets acquired, resulting in an adjustment to
increase goodwill of $1,976,029, from $10,014,881 to
$11,990,910.Subsequent to December 31, 2018 and the 2018 fiscal
year end, we sold our entire equity ownership stake in CoinTracking
GmbH. See “Note 17 Subsequent Events” for additional
details.

The
purchase price was based on the expected financial performance of
CoinTracking GmbH and not on the value of the net identifiable
assets at the time of acquisition. This resulted in a significant
portion of the purchase price being attributed to goodwill. As a
result, the Company recognized $11,990,910 of goodwill on the date
of acquisition.

NOTE
5 – SUBSCRIPTION REVENUE RECOGNITION
CoinTracking
GmbH accounted for a contract when it has approval and commitment
from all parties, the rights of the parties and payment terms are
identified, the contract has commercial substance and
collectability of consideration is probable. Revenue was recognized
when control of the promised services was transferred to the
Company’s customers over time, and in an amount that reflects the
consideration the Company was contractually due in exchange for
those services. Most of the Company’s contracts with customers were
single, or had few distinct performance obligations, and the
transaction price was allocated to each performance obligation
using the stand-alone selling price.
CoinTracking
GmbH’s revenue is primarily derived directly from users in the form
of subscriptions. Subscription revenue is presented net of credits
and credit card chargebacks. Subscribers pay in advance, primarily
by PayPal or cryptocurrencies, subject to certain conditions
identified in our terms and conditions. Revenue is initially
deferred and recognized using the straight-line method over the
term of the applicable subscription period, which primarily range
from annual to perpetual.
Transaction Price
The
objective of determining the transaction price was to estimate the
amount of consideration the Company was due in exchange for
services, including amounts that are variable. CoinTracking GmbH
has a standalone sales price for its subscription service, which
varies based on length of subscription. Further, the Company
excluded from the measurement of transaction price all taxes
assessed by governmental authorities that were both (i) imposed on
and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and
(ii) collected from customers. Accordingly, such tax amounts were
not included as a component of revenue or cost of
revenue.
Estimates of certain revenue
Revenue
collected in advance for subscriptions ranging from annual to
perpetual packages were deferred and recognized as revenue on a
straight-line basis over the terms of the applicable subscription
period or performance obligation period. For “lifetime” revenue
packages, where the customer had access to the website for an
unlimited length of time, the Company elected to recognize revenue
on a straight-line basis over three years. We believe that based on
the short history of customer data, customer relationship period,
and number of available alternative providers, and anticipation of
future changes to the blockchain industry, a measure of three years
of performance obligation to customers was appropriate.
Net Revenue and Charge-back Reserves
CoinTracking
GmbH does not maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts because
the customer prepays for subscription in advance before access is
provided to CoinTracking GmbH’s website. The Company maintained a
reserve for potential credits issued to consumers or other revenue
adjustments when necessary. In addition, as of December 31, 2018,
PayPal withheld $47,872 for potential credits issued to customers,
which is included in assets held for sale on the Company’s
consolidated balance sheets.
Contract Liabilities
Contract
liabilities were recorded when payments were received or due in
advance of performing CoinTracking GmbH’s service obligations and
was recognized over the service period, which primarily related to
prepayments of subscription revenue. At the acquisition date of
January 26, 2018, CoinTracking GmbH’s total contract liabilities
were $3,616,724, and we recognized revenue of $3,553,979 for the
year ended December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, $1,750,465
of current contract liabilities and $847,461 of long-term contract
liabilities are included in liabilities held for sale.
Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a
Customer
CoinTracking
GmbH has determined that certain costs associated with affiliate
payments paid to customers pursuant to certain sales incentive
programs, meet the requirements to be capitalized as a cost of
obtaining a contract. Affiliates are paid in Bitcoins and expense
is amortized over the applicable subscription period.
During
the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized expense of
$208,104 related to the amortization of affiliate payments. The
aggregate contract asset balance at December 31, 2018 was $106,026,
included in assets held for sale. On January 2, 2019, we sold our
entire equity ownership stake in CoinTracking GmbH.
NOTE
6 – INVESTMENTS, NON-CRYPTOCURRENCY NTD:

Company has invested $417,818 in non-tradeable token pre-sale and
SAFT agreements, including $250,000 during the year ended December
31, 2018. In addition, the Company invested $250,000 during the
year ended December 31, 2018 as part of a financing in accordance
with a SAFE investment in a private enterprise. These investments
are included as Level 3 investments as there was no active market
as of December 31, 2018.
The

valuation methodologies that are categorized within Level 3 are
fair, consistent and verifiable. Non-cryptocurrency investments are
carried at cost which approximates fair value at December 31, 2018.

majority were made during the current year, as well as its
comprehensive investment process which includes reviews of white
papers, preparation of either short or long forms analysis that is
reviewed by the Company’s internal investment committee, among
other factors in determining fair value. At the time that the
investments are tokenized and available on active market exchanges,
the investments will be reclassified to investments in
cryptocurrency
In April 2019, Cosmos tokens (ATOMs) were issued and listed and
sold through an exchange. The Company promptly liquidated these on

8 – IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of
the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a
business combination. The Company’s goodwill balance is the result
of the acquisition of CoinTracking GmbH in the current year (see
Note 5 - Acquisition). Intangible assets include software
development costs, related to the CoinTracking GMBH SaaS platform,
customer base and trade name.
As of December 31, 2019, the balance of goodwill and intangible
assets were $-0- due to the divestiture of CoinTracking GmbH on
January 2, 2019.
The
carrying amount of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2018

Intangible
assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective
estimated useful lives. Amortization expense related to intangible
assets was $-0- for the year ended December 31, 2019 and $1,008,450
year ended December 31, 2018.
Amortization
expense for intangible assets is included in general and
administrative expenses.
The
Company’s goodwill and intangible assets relate to CoinTracking
GmbH and are therefore included as held for sale on the
consolidated balance sheets, and amortization expense and
impairment losses are included in loss from discontinued operations
in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2018.
Impairment
of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets
The
Company performed its annual impairment test at December 31, 2018.
Based on the guidance in ASC 350 – Intangibles – Goodwill and
Other, management of the Company elected to bypass the qualitative
assessment of goodwill and proceeded directly to performing the
first step of the goodwill impairment test. The first step of the
goodwill impairment test indicated that the fair value of goodwill
was below its carrying value, indicating impairment. The Company
then performed the second step of the goodwill impairment test,
comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying value,
resulting in an impairment charge of $9,356,105. In addition, the
Company recognized an impairment charge of $998,833 related to the
Trade Name indefinite lived intangible asset.
CoinTracking
GmbH was acquired in the first quarter of 2018, shortly after
bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies reached their highest market
values, resulting in significant customer signups for CoinTracking
GmbH’s software subscription service. Beginning in early 2018, the
market value of cryptocurrencies declined sharply, resulting in a
steady decline in new customer signups. While software subscription
revenues for 2018 were in line with the Company’s projections, the
Company reduced its projected revenue expectations for future years
in line with the decline in new customer signups. Subsequent to
December 31, 2018, the Company agreed to sell the software
subscription business back to the noncontrolling shareholder at
sales price of $2,200,000, significantly below the $9,472,800
purchase price paid by the Company in January 2018. See “Note 17 -
Subsequent Events” for additional details.
The
Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a
weighting of fair values derived from both the income approach and
the market approach. Under the income approach, the Company
calculates the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present
value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are
based on management’s estimates of revenue growth rates and
operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market
conditions. The discount rate used is based on the weighted-average
cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with
business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to
the business’s ability to execute on the projected cash flows. The
market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of
revenue and earnings derived from comparable publicly traded
companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as
the reporting unit. The weighting of the fair value derived from
the market approach ranges from 0% to 50% depending on the level of
comparability of these publicly traded companies to the reporting
unit. The Company used a 50% weighting of these two approaches in
determining the fair value of CoinTracking GmbH, which fair value
approximated the Company’s sales price.
NOTE
9 – WARRANTS FOR COMMON STOCK
The
warrants expire on the third anniversary of their issuance dates.
The exercise price of the warrants is subject to adjustment from
time to time, as provided therein, to prevent dilution of purchase
rights granted thereunder. The warrants are considered indexed to
the Company’s own stock and therefore no subsequent remeasurement
is required.
NOTE
10 – SUMMARY OF STOCK OPTIONS
On
July 21, 2017, the Company’s board of directors adopted The Crypto

The Company recognized $-0- and $2,795,891 of compensation expense
related to stock options for the years ended December 31, 2019 and
2018, respectively
The total intrinsic value for options exercised, determined using
the market price of our common stock on the date of exercise, was
$295,763 during the year ended December 31, 2018.
During the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the
Company did not grant any restricted stock awards.
As of
December 31, 2018, approximately $357,058 of total unrecognized
compensation costs related to stock options issued to employees is
expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
approximately 1.18 years.
The
determination of the fair value of share-based compensation awards
utilizing the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s
stock price and a number of complex and subjective assumptions,
including stock price, volatility, expected life of the equity
award, forfeitures rates if any, risk-free interest rates and
expected dividends. Volatility is based on the historical
volatility of comparable companies measured over the most recent
period, generally commensurate with the expected life of the
Company’s stock options, adjusted for future expectations given the
Company’s limited historical share price data.
The
risk-free rate is based on implied yields in effect at the time of
the grant on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with remaining terms
equal to the expected term of the stock options. The expected
dividend is based on the Company’s history and expectation of
dividend payouts. Forfeitures are recognized when they
occur.
The range of assumptions used for the year ended December 31, 2018
was as follows:

11 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
There
were no related party transaction in 2019.
The
Company has a loan receivable from an officer of CoinTracking GmbH
as of December 31, 2018 totaling $170,684. The loan is due upon
demand and it bears interest at 2%. During the year ended December
31, 2018 and the period from Inception to December 31, 2017
interest income accrued for this loan was $3,300 and $0,
respectively, which is included in other income/(expense) on the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During the year
ended December 31, 2018, the company sold $939,155 in
cryptocurrency held by CoinTracking GmbH to an officer of
CoinTracking GmbH, in accordance with a shareholder resolution
entered into on September 21, 2018.
On
April 3, 2018, CoinTracking entered into a Loan Agreement (the
“Loan Agreement”) with CoinTracking GmbH, pursuant to which
CoinTracking GmbH may provide a loan (the “CoinTracking Loan”) of
up to $3,000,000 to CoinTracking, to be advanced to CoinTracking in
one or more tranches, at such times and in such amounts as may be
requested by CoinTracking from time to time, on or before the tenth
anniversary of the Loan Agreement. The Company is deemed obligor of
CoinTracking’s obligations under the Loan Agreement for United
States Federal income tax purposes. Interest on the CoinTracking
Loan will accrue at a rate per annum of the greater of (i) three
percent (3%), or (ii) the interest rates published monthly by the
United States Internal Revenue Service and in effect under section
1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code in effect as of the date of
issuance of any promissory note under the CoinTracking Loan, and
will be payable quarterly. During the year ended December 31, 2018,
pursuant to the Loan Agreement, CoinTracking GmbH advanced
$1,500,000 to CoinTracking in exchange for three promissory notes
(the “CoinTracking Note”) in the amounts of $300,000, $700,000 and
$500,000, respectively, which is still outstanding as of December
31, 2018. The CoinTracking Note will mature on the second
anniversary thereof. CoinTracking and CoinTracking GmbH are
consolidated entities, as such, the loan and advances are
intercompany transactions and are eliminated in consolidation.
Subsequent to December 31, 2018, the Company sold its equity
ownership stake in CoinTracking GmbH, and $1,200,000 of the sale
proceeds were applied toward repayment of the $1,500,000
outstanding loan amount under the CoinTracking Note. See “Note 17 -
Subsequent Events” for additional details.
Effective
May 14, 2018, Michael Poutre, former Chief Executive Officer and
director of the Company resigned from all of his then-current roles
with the Company. Mr. Poutre remained a consultant until November
2018. In connection with Mr. Poutre’s resignation, the Company
entered into a Separation and Consulting Agreement and General
Mutual Release (the “Separation and Consulting Agreement”), which
was executed on May 9, 2018 and approved by the Board of Directors
on May 14, 2018. The Separation and Consulting Agreement was not
effective until May 17, 2018, following the end of the revocation
period. The Separation and Consulting Agreement provides that the
Company pays Mr. Poutre a lump-sum cash payment of (i) his earned
but unpaid base salary, (ii) his accrued but unpaid vacation time,
and (iii) any outstanding requests for expense reimbursements that
are approved pursuant to Company policy. Mr. Poutre served as a
consultant of the Company for six months at a rate of $30,000 per
month, payable in two separate tranches. The Separation and
Consulting Agreement contains other standard provisions contained
in agreements of this nature including non-disparagement and a
general release of any and all claims. During 2018, the Company
paid Mr. Poutre $90,000 of the $180,000 due in connection with his
Separation and Consulting Agreement. Subsequent to December 31,
2018, the Company reached a settlement with Mr. Poutre, reducing
the final amount due to $40,000 (see Note 17 – Subsequent
Events).

NOTE
13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On November 1, 2018, the Company relocated its corporate office and
entered into a month-to-month office agreement with Regus
Management Group, LLC for $344 per month. Facility rent expense was
$ and $107,053 for the year ended December 31, 2018
Legal
Contingencies
As previously disclosed, we received a subpoena on May 15, 2018,
from the SEC’s Division of Enforcement in connection with a formal
investigation it is conducting involving us as well as other
unrelated public issuers who are holders of or provide services
related to digital assets. The subpoena requested that we produce
certain documents to the SEC’s Division of Enforcement by May 30,
2018. In a letter to us dated as of November 22, 2019, the SEC’s
Division of Enforcement advised us that the investigation has
concluded and that the SEC will not seek to impose any fines or
file any enforcement action against us.
Additionally,
the Company may from time to time become subject to legal
proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course
of business.
Indemnities
and guarantees - During the normal course of business, the Company
has made certain indemnities and guarantees under which it may be
required to make payments in relation to certain transactions.
These indemnities include certain agreements with the Company’s
officers and directors, under which the Company may be required to
indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their
respective relationships. In connection with its facility lease,
the Company has indemnified the lessor for certain claims arising
from the use of the facility. The duration of these indemnities and
guarantees varies and, in certain cases, is indefinite. The
majority of these indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any
limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company
could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been
obligated to make significant payments for these obligations, and
no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and
guarantees in the accompanying balance sheet.
NOTE
14 - Discontinued
Operations
On
December 28, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to sell
its controlling interest in CoinTracking GmbH, which sale was
completed on January 2, 2019. CoinTracking GmbH was acquired by the
Company on January 26, 2018. In addition, during the fourth quarter
of 2018, there was a strategic shift in the Company’s business away

education. The Company retained no ownership in CoinTracking GmbH
and has no continuing involvement with CoinTracking GmbH as of the
date of the sale of the controlling interest. In addition, the
Company discontinued its cryptocurrency investment
