Covid-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic throughout the United States. While the initial outbreak concentrated in China, it spread to several other countries, including Russia and Cyprus, and reported infections globally. Many countries worldwide, including the United States, have implemented significant governmental measures to control the spread of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement of people, and other material limitations on trade. These measures have resulted in work stoppages, absenteeism in the Company’s labor workforce, and other disruptions. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments. These developments are highly uncertain. We cannot predict them with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak and the actions required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, the spread of the coronavirus globally could adversely impact our operations and workforce, including our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operation results.

Ukraine-Russia Conflict

The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The war between the two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues.

By the end of August 2022, the Company closed its technical support and development office in Russia. We relocated our personnel to Turkey, currently considered a neutral zone. No individual associated with the Company is banned or under the Special Designated Nationals and Blocked Person list. If the military activities worsen and expand in Europe, we may relocate our office from Turkey to other neutral zones in Asia. It may impact our software development capabilities and the Company’s business plans if we cannot relocate our technical and development operations to a safer zone.

As of the date of this report, there has been no disruption in our operations.

This Annual Report Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those set forth due to general economic conditions and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. The analysis set forth below is provided pursuant to applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and is not intended to serve as a basis for projections of future events.

From December 2021 onwards, the Company expects to grow from its acquisition strategy, specializing in buying and integrating small to mid-size legacy financial services companies. The Company intends to build a diversified global software-driven financial services company. The Company plans to acquire, integrate, transform, and scale legacy financial service companies.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic that continues throughout the United States. While the outbreak was initially concentrated in China, it spread to several other countries, including Russia and Cyprus, and reported infections globally. Many countries worldwide, including the United States, have implemented significant governmental measures to control the spread of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement of people, and other material limitations on our business. These measures have resulted in work stoppages, absenteeism in the Company’s labor workforce, and other disruptions. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments. These developments are highly uncertain. We cannot predict them with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak and the actions required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, the spread of the coronavirus globally could adversely impact our operations and workforce, including our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operation results.

The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The war between the two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues. The United States and certain European countries have imposed additional sanctions on Russia and specific individuals. By the end of August 2022, the Company closed its technical support and development office in Russia. We relocated our personnel to Turkey, currently considered a neutral zone. No individual associated with the Company is banned or under Special Designated Nationals and Blocked Person list. If the military activities worsen and expand in Europe, we may relocate our office from Turkey to other neutral zones in Asia. If we cannot relocate our technical and development operations to a safer zone, it may impact our software development capabilities and negatively impact the Company’s business plans.

As of the date of this report, there has been no disruption in our operations.

Consolidated Financial Summary

The Company has prepared consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary business course.

On September 30, 2022, the Company issued 30,000,000 restricted common shares for cash valued at $300,000.

We do not believe that our cash balance is sufficient to fund our operations and growth; as a result, the Company plans to raise additional capital as disclosed in Subsequent Events. The Company intends to continue its efforts to enhance its revenue from its diversified portfolio of technological solutions, become cash flow positive, and raise funds through private placement offerings and debt financing.

We do not believe our cash balance is sufficient to fund our operations.

The Company intends to continue its efforts to enhance its revenue from its acquisition strategy and diversified portfolio of technological solutions, become cash flow positive, and raise funds through private placement offerings and debt financing. As the Company increases its customer base globally, it intends to acquire long-lived assets that will provide a future economic benefit beyond fiscal 2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, compared to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company had ten (10) and eight (8) active customers. Revenues generated from the top three (3) customers represented approximately 81.01% and 52.98% of total revenue for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The revenues generated for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021 were $6,453,732 and $457,661, respectively. During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company incurred a net profit and a net loss of $1,104,374 and $1,736,695.

The total revenue breakdown for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021 is below:

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company incurred General and administrative costs (“G and A”) of $1,679,121 and $1,127,503, respectively. The increase in G and A costs for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, was mainly due to higher professional & consulting fees related to common stock issued for services. The G and A expenses were 26.02% and 246.36% of the fiscal revenue for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021. Amortization expenses were $159,051 and $274,462 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively, and the Company has included them in the Cost of sales expense. The decrease in amortization expense for the fiscal year ending December 2022 is due to the complete amortization of Condor Back Office, Condor Crypto Trading Platform, and Condor FX Trading Platform (Desktop).

The rental expenses were $25,438 and $29,705 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021. Effective October 29, 2019, the Company rents its servers, computers, and data center from an unrelated third party. Under the rent Agreement, the lessor provides furniture and fixtures and any leasehold improvements at 200 Spectrum Drive, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92618, as discussed in Note 2. Effective February 2019, the Company leases office space at Suite 205, Building 9, Potamos Germasogeia, 4047, Limassol District, Cyprus, from an unrelated party for a year. The Company uses the office for sales and marketing in Europe and Asia. The office’s monthly rent payment is $1,750, which is included in the General and administrative expenses. From February 2020, the Company extended the one-year agreement to $1,750 monthly. Effective April 2019, the Company leases office space at Suite 512, 83 Plan, Chelyabinsk, Russia, from an unrelated party for an eleven-month term. The office’s rent payment is $500 monthly, including the General and administrative expenses. From March 2020, this agreement continues month-to-month until the Company or the lessor chooses to terminate the agreement’s terms by giving thirty days’ notice. The Company uses the office for software development and technical support. Effective August 2022, the Company closed its offices in Russia and relocated its team to Turkey.

The Company incurred $382,864 and $648,833 in sales, marketing, and advertising costs (“sales and marketing”) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The sales and marketing costs increase due to increased stock-based compensation to certain marketing and branding consultants. The sales and marketing costs mainly included stock-based payment to marketing and branding consultants, travel costs for tradeshows, customer meetings, online marketing on industry websites, press releases, and public relations activities. The sales, marketing, and advertising expenses represented 5.93% and 141.77% of the sales for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On December 31, 2022, and 2021, we had a cash balance of $264,829 and $93,546, respectively. At December 31, 2022, and 2021, the working capital surplus and deficit were $541,359 and $199,132, respectively. The increase in the working capital surplus was mainly due to the acquisition of NSFX, resulting in the increase of current assets over current liabilities as of December 31, 2022.

In the next twelve (12) months, the Company will continue investing in sales, marketing, product development, new technology solutions, and existing technology support to serve our customers. We expect capital expenditures to increase to $500,000 in the next twelve (12) months to support the growth, including working capital, software development, sales & marketing, and purchasing computers and servers.

We expect the combination of existing cash, cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and access to private equity and capital markets to be sufficient for at least twelve (12) months. The availability of funds will fund our operating activities to meet the need for investing and financing, such as debt maturities and material capital expenditures. However, we may need additional funds to achieve a sustainable sales level to fund our ongoing operations out of revenues. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available or, if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.

Should we require additional capital, the Company’s operations are insufficient to fund its capital requirements. The Company may attempt to restructure Notes, refinance existing Notes with financial institutions, or raise capital by selling additional capital stock or debt issuance. The Company intends to continue growing its operations and raising funds through private equity and debt financing.

Between February 22, 2016, and April 24, 2017, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from FRH Group, a founder and principal shareholder. Effective June 1, 2017, we raised $98,000 through our common stock’s private placement to our officers, directors, friends, relatives, and business associates.

From January 29, 2019, to February 15, 2019, the Company issued 33,000 registered shares under the Securities Act of 1933 for a cash amount of $4,950. The Company closed its offering effective February 26, 2019.

On February 22, 2021, the Company entered into an Assignment of Debt Agreement (the “Agreement”) with FRH and FRH Group Corporation. The Company eliminated all four FRH Group convertible notes, including interest, of $1,256,908, in return for the issuance of 12,569,080 of unregistered common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) to FRH. Following the Agreement, FRH assigned the Shares to FRH Group Corporation, also owned by Mr. Hong.

On May 01, 2020, the Company received proceeds of Fifty-Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty-Two ($50,632) from the Promissory Note (“PPP Note”) under the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).

GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION

We have generated revenues of $6,453,732 for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $4,335,053 and $3,230,679. Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021, and the period from January 21, 2016 (inception) to December 31, 2016, regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result in the Company being unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

We have based our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and operations results on our financial statements, which we have prepared following the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Our actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.

We have described significant accounting policies in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2021. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as appropriate based on changing conditions.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

We are an “emerging growth company,” defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards after enacting the JOBS Act until those standards apply to private companies. We have applied for exemption as an emerging growth company; thus, the Company may delay adopting certain accounting standards until the standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements defined in Item 303(c) of the SEC’s Regulation S-B. We had no relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established to facilitate off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The ASU amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. We have adopted ASC 606 - Revenue Recognition from January 1, 2019, and Amended ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840) from January 1, 2020. The ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We believe the accounting policies described in Note 2 are critical to the judgments and estimates used to prepare our financial statements. As a result, we have described significant accounting policies in more detail in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in our 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2021.

Not Applicable.

All financial statements required by this Item are presented beginning on Page F-20, and are incorporated herein by this reference.

None.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021, were not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Term of Office

All directors serve until the next annual meeting; their successors are elected and qualified. Officers are appointed to serve for one year until the board of directors’ meeting following the stockholders’ annual meeting until the Directors’ successors have been elected and qualified.

Director of Independence

Our board of directors is currently composed of four (4) members, out of which three (3) directors are executive directors and who do not qualify as independent directors by the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market (the Company has no plans to list on the NASDAQ Global Market). The third non-executive director is an independent director. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three (3) years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of his family members have engaged in various types of business dealings with us. Also, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to our director that no relationships exist, which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. However, the NASDAQ rules require such subjective determination. Had our board of directors made these determinations, they would have reviewed and discussed the information provided by directors and us concerning our director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

Audit Committee and Conflicts of Interest

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that such committees would have performed are performed by our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board believes such committees are unnecessary since the Company is an early start-up company with only three (3) directors. To date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our three (3) directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

There are no family relationships among our directors or officers other than as described above. We are unaware of any other conflicts of interest with our executive officers or directors.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

No director, person nominated to become a director, executive officer, promoter, or control person of our Company has, during the last ten (10) years: (i) been convicted in or is currently subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of the such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to any federal or state securities or banking or commodities laws including, without limitation, in any way limiting involvement in any business activity, or finding any violation to such law, nor (iii) any bankruptcy petition been filed by or against the business of which such person was an executive officer or a general partner, whether at the time of the bankruptcy or for the two (2) years prior thereto.

Stockholder Communications with the Board Of Directors

We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our board of directors. Nevertheless, every effort will be made to ensure that the board hears the views of stockholders of directors and that the appropriate responses are provided to stockholders promptly. Our board of directors will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process during the upcoming year.

Index to Consolidated Financial Statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the board of directors of FDCTech, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FDCTech, Inc. as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022 and 2021, 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.

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 3 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 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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.

Covid-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic throughout the United States. While the initial outbreak concentrated in China, it spread to several other countries, including Russia and Cyprus, and reported infections globally. Many countries worldwide, including the United States, have implemented significant governmental measures to control the spread of the virus, including temporary closure of businesses, severe restrictions on travel and the movement of people, and other material limitations on trade. These measures have resulted in work stoppages, absenteeism in the Company’s labor workforce, and other disruptions. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our operations will depend on future developments. These developments are highly uncertain. We cannot predict them with confidence, including the duration and severity of the outbreak and the actions required to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. In particular, the spread of the coronavirus globally could adversely impact our operations and workforce, including our marketing and sales activities and ability to raise additional capital, which could harm our business, financial condition, and operation results.

Ukraine-Russia Conflict

The geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe intensified on February 24, 2022, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The war between the two countries continues to evolve as military activity continues. The United States and certain European countries have imposed additional sanctions on Russia and specific individuals. By the end of August 2022, the Company closed its technical support and development office in Russia. We relocated our personnel to Turkey, currently considered a neutral zone. No individual associated with the Company is banned or under Special Designated Nationals and Blocked Person list. If the military activities worsen and expand in Europe, we may relocate our office from Turkey to other neutral zones in Asia. If we cannot relocate our technical and development operations to a safer zone, it may impact our software development capabilities and negatively impact the Company’s business plans.

As of the date of this report, there has been no disruption in our operations.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

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

Consolidated Financial Statement Preparation and Use of Estimates

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with three months or less of original maturities. The Company maintains its cash balances at a single financial institution. The balances do not exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits as of December 31, 2022. On December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company had $264,829 and $93,546 cash and cash equivalent held at the financial institution.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable primarily represents the amount due from ten (10) customers. In some cases, the customer receivables are due immediately on demand; however, in most cases, the Company offers net 30 terms or n/30, where the payment is due in full 30 days after the invoice’s date. The Company has based the allowance for doubtful accounts on its assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering historical experience, credit quality, the accounts receivable balances’ age, and economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay and expected default frequency rates. Trade receivables are written off at the point when they are considered uncollectible.

At December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Management determined that the allowance for doubtful accounts was $137,371 and $117,487, respectively. The fiscal year’s bad debt expense ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 was $19,884 and $21,526, respectively.

Sales, Marketing, and Advertising

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

The Company incurred $382,864 and $648,833 in sales, marketing, and advertising costs (“sales and marketing”) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively. The sales and marketing cost mainly included travel costs for stock-based compensation for marketing consultants, tradeshows, customer meet and greet, online marketing on industry websites, press releases, and public relations activities. The sales, marketing, and advertising expenses represented 5.93% and 141.77% of the fiscal year’s sales ended December 31, 2022, and 2021.

Revenue Recognition

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

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

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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

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

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

At contract inception, the Company assesses the solutions or services, or bundles of solutions and services, obligated in the contract with a customer to identify each performance obligation within the contract and then evaluate whether the performance obligations are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the agreement. Solutions and services incapable of being distinct and distinct within the contract context are combined and treated as a single performance obligation in determining the allocation and recognition of revenue. For multi-element transactions, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The Company determines the stand-alone selling price for each item at the transaction’s inception involving these multiple elements.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

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

The Company’s typical performance obligations include the following:

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

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

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

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

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

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

a) Customized developments, and

b) Software updates.

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

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

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

On December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company had $264,829 and $93,546 cash and cash equivalent held at the financial institution.

Revenues

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company had ten (10) and eight (8) active customers. Revenues generated from the top three (3) customers represented approximately 81.01% and 52.98% of total revenue for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively.

Accounts Receivable

Research and Development (R and D) Cost

The Company acknowledges that future benefits from research and development (R and D) are uncertain and cannot capitalize on the R and D expenditures.

In the consolidated income statements, we have included the R and D costs in the General and Administrative expenses.

Legal Proceedings

The Company records its best estimate of loss related to pending legal proceedings when the loss is probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company can reasonably estimate a range of losses with no best estimate in the range; the Company records the minimum estimated liability. As additional information becomes available, the Company assesses the potential liability related to pending legal proceedings, revises its estimates, and updates its disclosures accordingly. The Company’s legal costs associated with defending itself are recorded as expenses when incurred. The Company is currently not involved in any litigation.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment following FASB ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. We test long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment charge is recognized if and when the asset’s carrying value exceeds the fair value. There are no impairment charges for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021.

Provision for Income Taxes

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

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

Software Development Costs

By ASC 985-20, Software development costs, including costs to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, are capitalized after establishing technological feasibility, if significant. The Company amortizes the capitalized software development costs using the straight-line amortization method over the application software’s estimated useful life. By the end of February 2016, the Company completed the technical feasibility of the Condor FX Back Office, Condor Pro Multi-Asset Trading Platform Version, and Condor Pricing Engine. The Company established the technical feasibility of the Crypto Web Trader Platform in February 2018. The Company completed the technical feasibility of the Condor Investing and Trading App in January 2021.

The Company estimates the useful life of the software to be three (3) years.

Amortization expenses were $159,051 and $274,462 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and 2021 respectively, and the Company classifies such cost as the Cost of Sales.

The Company is developing the Condor Investing and Trading App and NFT Marketplace. The Company is currently capitalizing on the costs associated with the development. The R and D costs in the period ending September 30, 2022, were due to evaluating the technological feasibility costs of the Robo Advice Platform. The R and D costs in the period ending December 31, 2022, were due to evaluating the technological feasibility costs of the Condor Investing and Trading App.

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

Convertible Debentures

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

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

As of December 31, 2020, the conversion features of conventional FRH Group convertible notes dated February 22, 2016, May 16, 2016, November 17, 2016, and April 24, 2017 (See Note 8) provide for a rate of conversion where the conversion price is below the market value. As a result, the conversion feature on all FRH Group convertible notes has a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) to the extent of the price difference.

As the Company and FRH Group extended the maturity date of the four (4) tranches of convertible notes to June 30, 2021, Management analyzed the fair value of the BCF on these tranches. The Company noted that the value of the BCF for each note was insignificant; thus, it did not record debt discounts as of December 31, 2020.

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

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