Item 1. Business.

 

Overview

 

Hash Labs Inc. is a Nevada corporation that was originally formed on November 1, 2005 when Bio-Solutions International, Inc. (“Bio-Solutions”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with OmniMed Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bio-Solutions, OmniMed International, Inc. (“OmniMed”) and the shareholders of OmniMed. On January 17, 2006, OmniMed changed its name to MedeFile International, Inc. The Company’s business following the closing of this agreement was the sale of an Internet-enabled Personal Health Record (iPHR) system for gathering, digitizing, maintaining, accessing and sharing an individual’s medical records, and in connection therewith, providing a professional service specializing in HIPAA compliant retrieval, reproduction and release of information. Under this service, Company personnel went onsite to physicians’ offices weekly to reproduce the records requested by third parties.

 

In October 2017, the name of the Company was changed to Tech Town Holdings, Inc. to reflect a new business strategy centered on identifying and fostering new or early stage business opportunities being fueled by digital reinvention and innovation.

 

Following close scrutiny of emerging business opportunities, coupled with evaluation of market trends, the Company narrowed its focus to financial technology, or Fintech, with an emphasis on emerging Blockchain or distributed ledger technology, or DLT. Effective March 2, 2018, the Company changed its name to Hash Labs Inc.

 

Our Fintech development project is a digital gold payment platform program. The Company is completing development of a mobile application, that will convert gold into a price-stable, scalable digital currency, 100% backed by physical gold. The digital gold payment platform will operate on the world’s most advanced DLT, known as Hashgraph.

 

1

 

 

The payment platform we are developing will be called Coro and its digital gold unit of account will be CXAU. 1 CXAU will be equal to 1 Troy Ounce of physical gold. The Company anticipates that the Coro payment platform will operate on a mobile application referred to as a “digital vault.”

 

These products are not yet operational and they have not yet generated any revenues.

 

Coro Development Status

 

The Company is developing Coro as a digital gold payment platform. The Company began development of the Coro mobile application, data base, infrastructure and the associated distributed private permissioned network in August of 2018. The Coro application has been developed on Azure’s cloud-based app development platform. The technology and network development process includes a series of 20 design and development stages, knowns as “sprints.” To date, 18 development sprints have been accomplished. Existing functionality includes: the onboarding and account activation process; identity verification; AML/KYC screening; login and change passcode process; digital account funding; conversion of USD to CXAU digital golds units; conversion of CXAU units to USD; and redemption of CXAU units for physical gold. The Coro / CXAU distributed ledger network has already been activated with an initial 12 nodes. We are conducting testing and quality assurance on the Coro mobile application and private permissioned node network. To date, the Company has paid more than $1,000,000 for the development of the Coro/CXAU digital gold payment platform and its private permissioned distributed ledger network. The Company paid such expenses from the Company’s working capital. The Company anticipates that, in April 2019, the Company will finalize testing and quality assurance in prelude to launching the mobile application and payment platform.

 

We anticipate that we will incur additional expenses of approximately $500,000 to complete development of and launch Coro. We will need to obtain the funds for such additional expenses by raising additional capital. There is no assurance such additional capital will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

Subject to raising such additional capital, and subject to our determination, in consultation with legal counsel, that the launch of Coro, will be in compliance with applicable securities law, we anticipate that we will launch Coro / CXAU on or about June 1, 2019.

 

The Company is relying upon both employees and contractors to design and develop the Coro / CXAU digital gold payment platform and distributed network. Coordination of the design and development has been led by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has coordinated the Company’s technology development resources and team of consultants. The Company intends to increase its technology development team during 2019, as it continues to improve the functionality and performance of the Coro / CXAU digital payment platform, post-launch.

 

The Company’s Planned Coro Digital Gold Platform--Overview

 

The Company is developing Coro, its first Fintech solution using Hashgraph DLT. The Company anticipates that Coro will be a 100% gold-backed digital payment platform. We anticipate that the Coro mobile application will operate on Hashgraph, the world’s fastest and most secure form of distributed ledger technology. We anticipate that Coro account holders will be able to instantly and securely convert fiat currency to “CXAU,” a digital gold currency unit of exchange. CXAU digital gold units will be price-stable, and 100% backed by physical gold.

 

The Company believes the cryptocurrency market, particularly in relation to Initial Coin Offerings (or ICOs), is volatile, with a high incidence of fraud and market manipulation. By comparison, there will never be a coin offering or token sale related to Coro or its CXAU digital gold units.

 

The Coro community of users will operate on a permission-based peer to peer private network, with the highest level of security and compliance.

 

2

 

 

In order to join the Coro eco-system, users will need to pass an identity verification and stringent anti-money laundering/know-your customer (or AML/KYC) check, to prevent bad actors from joining and assist in ensuring regulatory compliance.

 

The Company believes CXAU will solve the following two important problems:

 

  The need for a decentralized digital currency solution that offers true stability. The leading cryptocurrencies are wildly volatile with speculation driving wide swings in valuation. CXAU will offer a truly stable, asset-backed digital currency. The value of one CXAU unit will always correspond to the daily London spot price of 1 Troy Ounce of gold. Each CXAU unit will be 100% backed by physical gold, held by an independent custodian within an insured vault at the Royal Canadian Mint. Coro gold reserves will be confirmed daily by the Royal Canadian Mint and independently audited on a quarterly basis. The independent audit will be published for review by all CXAU members.

 

  We anticipate that the Coro technology will allow for potentially tens of millions of global gold investors holding trillions of value in gold bars and coins to safely digitize their physical gold holdings. Under the Coro platform, global gold investors (individual, institutional and governmental) will have the opportunity to efficiently hold and transact with a 100% gold-backed digital currency. Owners of physical gold will be able to conveniently convert their gold into CXAU. If  Coro members wish to liquidate their CXAU units, they will simply withdraw their CXAU balance via conversion to physical gold or CUSD.

 

The Company anticipates that CXAU will provide its users with the benefits of speed, security, transparency, and ease of use, as well as the opportunity to transact their digital gold on the fastest DLT on the market.

 

The Company anticipates that, under the Coro platform, there will be two accounts to facilitate the flow of funds related to the Digital Vault. One account will be at the Royal Canadian Mint for storage of physical gold. This account will serve as a custody account on behalf of the individual CXAU customers. The second custody account will a cash account held at a bank. Members who download the app and pass the verification process will be able to:

 

  Convert physical gold into CXAU: Under this process, members could send physical gold to fund a CXAU account. Pursuant to our master services agreement with Dillon Gage (discussed below), Dillon Gage will coordinate and manage the deposit and transfer of CXAU users’ physical gold into digital / crypto gold. This will include the acceptance, testing and verification of the physical gold presented for conversion to CXAU units. Dillon Gage will coordinate delivery of the physical gold for storage at the Royal Canadian Mint, for reserve on behalf of the CXAU.

 

  Convert US Dollars into CXAU within the Digital Vault: Under this process, Dillon Gage will coordinate and manage the acquisition and deposit of physical gold in direct proportion to the users’ CXAU digital vault capitalization, with fiat currency. Dillon Gage will coordinate purchase and delivery of physical gold to vaults operated by the Royal Canadian Mint, for reserve on behalf of the Coro members.

 

  Convert CXAU into physical gold for redemption: From time to time users may wish to liquidate their Coro digital gold account. Once the redemption order is received, Dillon Gage will convert the CXAU unit value into physical gold.

 

  Convert CXAU into fiat currency: Under this process, by way of example, a customer has $10,000 worth of CXAU and hits the ’Sell’ button within the app to convert the CXAU into $10,000 into the USD Digital Vault. Dillon Gage will receive the order to purchase $10,000 worth of physical gold and deliver $10,000 into the Coro Custody USD bank account. CXAU will allocate $10,000 worth of gold in the vault for Dillon Gage, and instantly the client will receive $10,000 into their CUSD Digital Vault.

Dillon Gage Collaboration

 

On October 18, 2018, we entered into a master services agreement with Dillon Gage Incorporated of Dallas (“Dillon Gage”), a fully integrated precious metal wholesale company. Under the agreement, the Company and Dillon Gage agreed to collaborate on the launch, marketing and operation of the Coro platform.

 

Pursuant to our agreement with Dillon Gage, upon the launch of the Coro platform, (i) Hash Labs will be responsible for the general management and operation of the CXAU Platform, except as otherwise set forth therein, and (ii) Dillon Gage will (a) coordinate and manage the deposit and transfer of CXAU users’ physical gold into digital/crypto gold, including, the acceptance, testing and verification of the physical gold presented for conversion to CXAU units, and coordination and delivery of the physical gold for storage at the Royal Canadian Mint, for reserve on behalf of the CXAU users, (b) coordinate and manage the acquisition and deposit of physical gold in direct proportion to the CXAU users’ digital vault conversion, with fiat currency, (c) coordinate purchase and delivery of physical gold to vaults operated by the Royal Canadian Mint, for reserve on behalf of the CXAU members, (d) coordinate the insurance, audit and storage of the CXAU physical gold reserves, and (e) upon any redemption/liquidation by a CXAU member, convert the CXAU unit value into physical gold, transfer the redemption gold.

 

Dillon Gage also agreed to introduce and use commercially reasonable efforts to promote the Coro platform to its global network of bullion dealers.

 

Revenue Model

 

We anticipate that, under the Coro platform, members will be charged (i) a 0.5% annual storage, insurance and auditing fee, (ii) a 0.5% fee to covert fiat currency into CXAU units, and (iii) a 0.5% (plus shipping and insurance) redemption fee. We will collect and charge such fees from members, and Dillon Gage will be entitled to 50% of such fees for the services Dillon Gage will provide under the master service agreement.

   

Objectives

 

Our objectives are to:

 

  o

Successfully launch Coro Digital Vault, as a stable, transparent, immutable, scalable, secure and decentralized solution by June 1, 2019. We anticipate that, by this date, we will launch the fully functional application on the iPhone and Android app stores, including the following features: Enrollment, Login, Track the Current Price of Gold, Create and Capitalize the Wallet, History, News, Purchase CXAU, Sell CXAU, and Peer to Peer Transactions functions. As noted above, our launch of the Coro platform will be subject to raising additional capital and our determination, in consultation with legal counsel, that such launch will be in compliance with applicable securities laws.

 

  o Achieve Long-term growth through building an engaged user base, securing key strategic partnerships and creating institutional and governmental user networks.

 

DLT and Stable-Coins

 

We believe the global Fintech industry is experiencing disruption on an unprecedented scale due to the rapid emergence of distributed ledger technology (DLT), such as early generation Blockchain and the new generation Hashgraph.

 

Under DLT technology, two or more parties can forge agreements, make transactions, build value, establish trust, and perform critical business logic, through using smart contracts, without relying on intermediaries to verify their identities. We believe that by reducing transaction costs among all participants in the economy, DLT protocol supports models of peer-to-peer mass collaboration that could make many of the existing financial organization forms redundant.

 

4

 

 

While Bitcoin, Etherum and other popular cryptocurrency trading platforms based on Blockchain technologies continue to grab headlines, we believe that it is the next generation DLT that will fully disrupt and transform how commerce and the Internet work together.

 

Numerous crypto ventures promise to change the landscape of the global financial system and the way the world economy is organized. However, we believe most of their crypto products lack conditions to serve as a store of value and as a unit of account, precluding even the most basic financial contracts, such as loans, salaries, or any other contract, where participants care about value over time, to be upheld.

 

The current cryptocurrency market is composed of ICOs and Token sales that are:

 

  Highly volatile;
     
  Speculation driven;
     
  Have high incidence of fraud;
     
  Void of inherent asset value;
     
  Subject to market manipulation; and
     
  Issued on non-compliant basis

 

At the same time we believe the global demand for DLT in finance and investing is greatly outpacing the supply. Thus, we believe growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a legitimate form of tender is fueling a need for user-friendly payment applications, Fintech solutions and specialty products and services to better support and secure the growing crypto ecosystem while reducing current valuation volatility and risks.

 

We believe individuals, institutions and governments are in urgent need of truly stable cash alternatives to conduct transactions and store value.

 

Stable-Coin Cryptocurrencies

 

The Coro platform we are developing will be a fully compliant Digital Vault platform to hold, transact and transfer asset-backed, redeemable, stable and scalable Crypto-Gold.

 

Stable-coins are a class of crypto currencies that seek to maintain price stability with respect to a value indicator. A stable-coin is supposed to provide price stability characteristics for purposes of avoiding volatility and acting as a better unit of account as well as a store of value.

 

Several solutions claiming to be stable-coins are currently available on the market, but most of them do not actually hold physical assets or do not allow their users to redeem their holdings fully.

 

5

 

 

There are 3 common types of stable-coins:

 

  Fiat-collateralized: require users to trust a centralized third party to hold their fiat currency and also to trust the stability of the fiat in itself, which is inherently unstable

 

  Crypto-collateralized: create a dependency on the stability of the cryptocurrency on the other side of the equation, which is inherently unstable.

 

  Non-collateralized: require continual network growth in the form of new investors who can provide capital to support a falling currency value, which is unsustainable.

 

None of these 3 types of stable-coins are fully asset backed, redeemable, stable, or scalable

 

We anticipate that CXAU will be different from other stable-coins in the following ways:

 

  Coro will be a decentralized, secure and easy to use digital currency 100% backed by physical gold.

 

  Coro will operate on the world’s fastest and most scalable Hashgraph DLT.

 

  Each Coro user will have a 100% secure digital vault, 100% backed by physical gold.   

 

  The value of the Coro account will not be correlated to equities, bonds, fiat currencies, supply and demand, or cryptocurrencies, but derived from the value of the physical gold that will secure it.  

 

  Coro account holders will be able to redeem their full account value for physical gold at any time.

 

  Hash Labs will operate Coro on a fully compliant basis.

 

  The highest standard of security will be applied to ensure that bad actors cannot use the Coro platform.

 

  Each digital vault will be activated only after a user has successfully completed full OFAC, KYC, AML screening, and identity verification.

 

  All physical gold assets will be held in fully licensed and insured physical vaults owned and protected by world-leading security storage companies.

 

  All gold assets on deposits will be audited on a quarterly basis.

 

We believe that with a more predictable value, Coro will contribute to a global digital currency economy capable of supporting credit and debt markets, trust-based peer to peer transactions and credible long-term investments.

 

Use Cases

 

We anticipate that uses for Coro will include the following:

 

  Global Payment Network: Since the key characteristics of price stability, liquidity, and scalability will be met, CXAU will have the potential to be foundational for global payments, serving as a unit of account, a store of value, and a medium of exchange.

 

  Fueling Future Decentralized Applications: Price-stable CXAU units could be used as a payment for using different DLTs, instead of those applications creating their own native currencies. For example in insurance, and lending markets.

 

  Lending: Coro can enable global access to secure and price-stable loans.

Gold History & Present

 

CXAU is derived from the letter “C,” the universal reference for Cryptocurrency, and the letters “XAU,” which is the symbol used under the ISO 4217 currency standard for one troy ounce of gold.

 

Gold has managed to maintain its value through the ages and unlike paper currency, coins or other assets it has been a stable way to pass on and preserve the value of wealth from one generation to the next. A central bank or a nation often held gold reserves in order to store value as a guarantee to redeem promises to pay depositors or to secure a currency. The United States is one of the countries with the largest gold reserves amounting to over eight thousand tons.

 

Historically gold has been an excellent hedge against inflation because of its tendency to increase in value when the cost of living increases. Because of its stability and the rate of return as an investment, it is an attractive commodity.

 

Gold offers:

 

  Safety: As a high-quality, liquid asset, gold helps preserve capital, diversify portfolios, mitigate risks, and serves as valuable collateral.

 

  Liquidity: Operating in large markets that rival those of major sovereign bonds, gold is one of the most highly traded financial assets, with low transactional costs and universal acceptance.

 

  Return: Since 1997, the average annual return on gold, in US dollar terms, has consistently outperformed the average returns on US Treasuries, Eurobonds, Japanese government bonds, and UK gilts over 10-year, 5-year and 1-year time horizons.

 

Digital currencies, such as Bitcoin and Litecoin, have been successful at leveraging Blockchain technology for the transfer of value across borders. But the inherent volatility, lack of asset backing and low transaction speeds have made them a poor choice for real business to be executed through their networks.

 

Hashgraph Partnership

 

CXAU is being built on world’s next generation DLT solution Hashgraph Algorithm, which we believe is superior to the early generation Blockchain DLT. Hashgraph is owned by Swirlds, Inc., (“Swirlds”). In December 2018, we entered into a software license agreement with Swirlds to license Hashgraph for the Coro platform.

 

DLT is disrupting and transforming existing markets in multiple industries. However, we believe there are five fundamental obstacles to be overcome before distributed ledgers can be widely accepted and adopted across every industry and geography. These obstacles are:

 

Performance: The platform is built on the Hashgraph distributed consensus algorithm, which provides near-perfect efficiency in bandwidth usage and consequently can process hundreds of thousands of transactions per second in a single shard (a fully-connected, peer-to-peer mesh of nodes in a network). Consensus latency is measured in seconds, not minutes, hours, or days. (For example, HH’s 500,000 transactions per second vs. Blockchain’s 5-7 transactions per second)

 

Security: Hashgraph achieves the gold standard for security in the field of distributed consensus: asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT). Other platforms that use coordinators, leaders, or communication timeouts tend to be vulnerable to Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against those vulnerable areas. Hashgraph is resilient to these types of attacks and achieves the theoretical limits of security. Achieving this level of security at scale is a fundamental advance in the field of distributed systems as it is the gold standard for security in this category.

 

7

 

 

Stability: Hashgraph relies on both technical and legal controls to ensure the stability of the platform. This system prevents forking and illegal modifications of the algorithm.

 

Regulatory Compliance: The Hashgraph technical framework includes an Opt-In Escrow Identity mechanism that gives users a choice to bind verified identities to otherwise anonymous cryptocurrency accounts, which is designed to provide governments with the oversight necessary to ensure regulatory compliance. This is optional, and each user will be able decide what kinds of credentials, if any, to reveal. Hashgraph intends to work with governments to provide the same level of protection in distributed public ledgers as is currently present in the financial system.

 

The Hashgraph algorithm accomplishes being fair, fast, efficient, inexpensive, timestamped, and DoS resistant.

 

Hashgraph private-permissioned ledger provides the strongest foundation for the CXAU protocol. We believe it will enable CXAU to achieve unprecedented speed with fractional cost per transaction, all while maintaining bank-grade security.

 

Government regulation

 

The Company has registered with Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury) as a Money Service Business. The Company is in the process of applying for the Money Transmitter License with State government regulators throughout the US.

  

Blockchain and cryptocurrency 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 and in cryptocurrencies generally. Regulations will certainly increase, in many cases, although it is presently not possible to know how they will increase, how regulations will apply to our businesses, or when they will be effective. As the regulatory and legal environment evolves, we may become subject to new laws, and regulation by the SEC and other agencies.

 

To prevent fraud and illegal activities on the Coro platform, the Company is developing a state of the art compliance on-boarding and transaction monitoring solution to:

 

  Ensure that no digital vaults issued to Coro customers are activated until each new customer has undergone comprehensive Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering screening;

 

 

Monitor Coro transactions and report any suspicious activity

     
  Conduct routine security audits of its DLT environment; and

 

  Implement other security measures, as necessary, to further support its diligence in this regard.

 

The Company has hired a Chief Compliance Officer, who has developed the Company’s compliance program and manual. The CCO has been instrumental in the design and development of the compliance on-boarding and monitoring solution. The CCO is also in communication with State regulators, related to the Company’s Money Transmitter license applications.

 

Marketing and Sales Strategy

 

The Company’s target market for CXAU consists of three groups: individuals, institutions and governments.

 

Initially, our marketing efforts will focus on individual gold investors and crypto enthusiasts needing access to an easy to use, secure, stable, and transparent digital currency. In this market, the Company will launch the CXAU mobile app and perfect its functionality.

 

8

 

 

Eventually we will expand such marketing efforts to include institutional and governmental markets. Currently, the Company is analyzing key trends and related secondary information that will compliment and aid defining its market opportunities and user needs.

 

Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, the Company is conducting extensive research and discovery to set success metrics, recognize future growth initiatives, develop audience profiles, and assess the competition landscape and market conditions.

 

Under the Company’s marketing and sales strategy, the Company plans to take the following steps:

 

  Engage highly rated and specialized branding, media, web design, and digital marketing agencies to work in synchrony with the in-house marketing team

 

  Design a visual identity that can be easily activated across a variety of digital and media touchpoints;

 

  Design and develop a website to serve as an education resource for media, influencers and general public and as a point of entry for users; and

 

  Develop, activate and execute integrated launch and growth marketing campaigns to reach key audiences for awareness and demand for the product.

 

The Company’s integrated marketing and sales strategy is divided in 2 phases:

 

Launch Strategy: This is currently being executed in anticipation of the April, 2019 Coro mobile app launch. This includes the following:

 

August to September 2018:

 

Brand strategy: Under this phase, which we completed, we sought to promote and develop our brand discovery, brand design including messaging and visual identity, and brand content creation.

 

October to November 2018:

 

Under this phase, which we completed, we built and developed our CXAU Website, including with respect to website discovery and content, website design, and website development, hosting trials, and website live launch.

 

December 2018 to May 2019 (Marketing Activation, Execution and Launch) (currently in progress):

 

Our goal in this phase is to create a “surround sound” marketing campaign to reach and engage the target audience, build the contact list, as well as generate excitement and brand awareness before the launch. We have and are utilizing:

 

  Paid media (search engine ads, social media ads, display ads, sponsored content, geo-fencing);

 

  Earned media (media, investor, blogger, influencer relations);

 

  Shared media (advocates, partnerships, social media); and

 

  Owned media (proprietary content strategically created and distributed)

 

We also plan to attend industry events, and to leverage key partnerships with Dillon Gage and Hashgraph.

 

Growth Strategy: Our growth strategy in the development phase. Under our growth strategy, we will aim to secure sustainable growth of the CXAU user base through viral methods, paid, earned, shared and owned media, effective customer service management, and seamless application onboarding.

Competition

 

We anticipate that the primary competition for Coro in the digital payment sector will include CashApp, Venmo, TransferWise and Circle. CashApp is a US based digital payment platform offering peer to peer payments. CashApp operates exclusively in the US offering digital payments in US Dollars. The CashApp platform operates on traditional centralized server technology, slower and less secure. Venmo is the US based digital payment platform, owned and operated by PayPal.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

An investment in the Company’s common stock involves a high degree of risk. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the value of our stock could go down as a result of the risk factors described below. This means shareholders could lose all or a part of their investment. 

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have a limited operating history under our current business focus, and we may not succeed.

 

We have a limited operating history, in particular under our current business focus, and we may not succeed. We are subject to all risks inherent in a developing business enterprise, including, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like us, are in their early stages. For example, unanticipated expenses, problems, and technical difficulties may occur and they may result in material challenges to our business. We may not be able to successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating strategies. If we fail to do so, such failure could materially aversively affect our business, financial conditions and results of operation. We may never generate significant revenues or achieve profitability.

 

We will need to raise additional capital, which may not be available.

 

As of December 31, 2018, we had a working capital deficit of $486,315. We will need to raise additional funds to complete development of and launch Coro, execute our business plan and maintain and expand our operations. Additional financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If we cannot raise needed funds on acceptable terms, the Company’s business and prospects may be materially adversely affected and we may need to curtail or cease operations.

 

We may not succeed in developing the Coro platform.

 

The development of the Company’s decentralized distributive ledger technology, or DLT, on the Coro platform, and gold-backed CXAU cryptocurrency will be a costly, complex, and time-consuming process, and investments in product development often involve a long period of time until completed and a return, if any, can be achieved on such an investment. We may face difficulties or delays in the development process of the DLT, Coro and CXAU, which could result in our inability to timely offer products or services that satisfy the market. We have been making and anticipate making significant investments in developing the DLT, Coro and CXAU, but such an investment is inherently speculative and requires substantial capital expenditures. Any unforeseen technical obstacles and challenges that we encounter in the development process could result in delays in, or the abandonment of, the development and launch of the DLT, Coro and CXAU, and may substantially increase development costs, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may not succeed in launching the Coro platform by our anticipated launch date, or at all.

The Company may encounter significant competition and may not be able to successfully compete.

 

There are many alternative gold-backed crypto assets, distributive ledger technology platforms and blockchain based platforms, and more such alternatives are under development by our competitors. Some of our competitors have considerably more financial resources than us, and the backing of traditional large financial institutions. As a result, we may not be able to successfully compete in our market, which could result in our failure to launch the DLT and CXAU, or otherwise fail to successfully compete. There can be no assurances that we will be able to compete successfully in this environment.

 

The DLT, Coro and CXAU and any blockchain or distributive ledger technology on which the Company’s products may rely may be the target of malicious cyberattacks or may contain exploitable flaws in its underlying code, which could result in security breaches and the loss or theft of any cryptocurrencies we may launch (including the CXAU).  If such attacks occur or security is compromised, this could expose us to liability and reputational harm and could seriously curtail the utilization of the DLT, Coro and CXAU, resulting in users reducing their use of the Coro platform or stopping using the Coro platform altogether.

 

If the CXAU are issued, and if the DLT and Coro are developed and launched, their structural foundation, the software applications and other interfaces or applications upon which they rely or that will be built upon are unproven, and there can be no assurances that the DLT and Coro and the creating, transfer or storage of the CXAU will be uninterrupted or fully secure, which could result in impermissible transfers, and a complete loss of a holder’s CXAU. The DLT and Coro may be subject to a cyberattack, software error, or other intentional or negligent act or omission that results in the CXAU being lost, destroyed or otherwise compromised. Further, the DLT, Coro and CXAU (and any technology, including blockchain technology, on which they rely) may also be the target of malicious attacks from hackers or malware distributors seeking to identify and exploit weaknesses in the software, the DLT, Coro and CXAU which could result in the loss or theft of CXAU. If such attacks occur or security is compromised, this could expose us to liability and reputational harm and could seriously curtail the utilization of the DLT, Coro and CXAU, resulting in users reducing their use of the Coro platform or stopping using the Coro platform altogether, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Some market participants may oppose the development of distributed ledger or blockchain-based systems like those central to the Company’s commercial mission.

 

Many participants in the global securities and commodities trading market, many of which have significantly greater resources, including financial resources and political influence, than the Company, may oppose the development of capital markets and commodities systems and processes that utilize distributed ledger and blockchain-based systems. The ability of the Company to operate and achieve its commercial goals could be adversely affected by any actions of any such market participants that result in additional regulatory requirements or other activities that make it more difficult for the Company to operate, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If the DLT is unable to satisfy data protection, security, privacy, and other government and industry-specific requirements, its growth could be harmed.

 

There are a number of data protection, security, privacy, and other government- and industry-specific requirements, including those that require companies to notify individuals of data security incidents involving certain types of personal data. Security compromises could harm the Company’s reputation, erode user confidence in the effectiveness of its security measures, negatively impact its ability to attract new users, or cause existing users to stop using the Coro platform, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

11

 

 

We may face risks of Internet disruptions, which could have an adverse effect on our business..

 

A disruption of the Internet may affect our Coro digital gold payment platform. A significant disruption in Internet connectivity could disrupt Coro’s network operations until the disruption is resolved.

 

The impact of geopolitical events on the supply and demand for cryptocurrencies is uncertain.

 

As an alternative to currencies that are backed by central governments, cryptocurrencies, which are relatively new, are subject to supply and demand forces. How such supply and demand will be impacted by geopolitical events is largely uncertain but could be harmful to us and investors in our securities. Political or economic crises may motivate large-scale acquisitions or sales of cryptocurrencies either globally or locally. Such events could have a material adverse on our business, prospects or operations.

  

The gold backing the CXAU will be held by third party custodians, which are out of our control, and could be subject to loss, damage, theft or restriction on access

 

We anticipate that, when Coro is launched, the CXAU will be backed by physical gold stored securely within a vault, controlled by a custodial trust account. Any failure by the custodian to properly secure or insure the gold reserves backing the CXAU, resulting in part or all of the gold backing the CXAU being lost, damaged or stolen, or access to such gold being restricted, whether by natural events (such as an earthquake) or human actions (such as a terrorist attack), could result in a decrease in the value of the CXAU, which could expose the Company to liability and reputational harm and seriously curtail the utilization of the DLT, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

  

Changes in general economic and business conditions, internationally, nationally and in the markets in which we operate, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations .

 

Our operating results may be subject to factors which are outside of our control, including changes in general economic and business conditions, internationally, nationally and in the markets in which we operate. Such factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

 

In addition, disruptions in the credit and financial markets, declines in consumer confidence, increases in unemployment, declines in economic growth and uncertainty about earnings could have a significant negative impact on the U.S. and global financial and credit markets and the overall economy. Such events could have an adverse impact on financial institutions resulting in limited access to capital and credit for many companies. Furthermore, economic uncertainties make it very difficult to accurately forecast and plan future business activities. Changes in economic conditions, changes in financial markets, deterioration in the capital markets or other factors could have an adverse effect on the financial position, revenues, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our results of operations will significantly rely on our team of managers, advisors, and technical staff.

 

The successful operation and development of our business will be dependent primarily upon the operating and management skills of our managers, advisors, and technical staff. The loss of the services of any one of our key personnel, in particular our chief executive officer, J. Mark Goode, could have a material adverse impact on our ability to realize our objectives, including the ability to develop and launch the Coro digital gold payment platform, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If we fail to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, we could lose our ability to compete.

 

Our intellectual property and proprietary rights are essential to our ability to remain competitive and successful in the development of our products and our business, including Coro and CXAU. We expect to rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws as well as confidentiality agreements and procedures, non-competition agreements, and other contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property, other proprietary rights, and our brand. Our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by third parties. We may not be able to prevent the unauthorized disclosure or use of our technical knowledge or other trade secrets by employees or competitors. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property or proprietary rights, our competitors could use it to enhance their products, compete against us, and take our market share. Our inability to adequately protect our intellectual property could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

12

 

 

Other companies may claim that we infringe their intellectual property.

 

We do not believe that our technologies infringe, or will infringe, on the proprietary rights of any third party, but claims of infringement are becoming increasingly common and third parties may assert infringement claims against us in the future. It may be difficult or impossible to identify, prior to receipt of notice from a third party, the trade secrets, patent position or other intellectual property rights of a third party. If any of our products or services, such as the DLT, CXAU, or Coro, if developed and launched, were found to infringe on other parties’ proprietary rights and we are unable to come to terms regarding a license with such parties, we may be forced to modify our products to make them non-infringing or to cease to offer such products altogether, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We will be subject to numerous risks associated with operating a digital asset network .

 

Digital asset networks are a new and rapidly evolving industry and technology. The growth of the crypto asset industry is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the further development of this industry include, among other things:

 

  continued worldwide growth in the adoption and use of digital assets;

 

  government and quasi-government regulation of crypto assets and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of crypto asset systems;

 

  changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences;

 

  the availability and popularity of other forms or methods of exchange, including new means of using fiat currencies; and

 

  general economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to crypto assets.

   

We have an evolving business model.

 

As digital assets and blockchain technologies become more widely available, we expect the services and products associated with them to evolve. In order to stay current with the industry, our business model may need to evolve as well. From time to time, we may modify aspects of our business model relating to our product mix and service offerings. Any such modifications we may make may not be successful and may result in harm to our business. We may not be able to manage growth effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth and negatively affect our operating results.

 

We may be vulnerable to the development of quantum computing.

 

Like all cryptographic systems, crypto assets may be vulnerable to quantum computing. While quantum computers have not been proven to exist at the date of the date hereof, in the event that they are invented, crypto assets, along with the cryptography used to protect other financial institutions, may be vulnerable and therefore adversely affected unless steps are taken to secure them against such technologies. If quantum computers are developed it is likely that the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

13

 

 

The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, tokens and token offerings is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect the development of the DLT, Coro and CXAU.

 

Regulation of tokens, token offerings, cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies, and distributive ledger technology is currently undeveloped and likely to rapidly evolve, varies significantly among international, federal, state, and local jurisdictions, and is subject to significant uncertainty. Various legislative and executive bodies in the United States and in other countries may in the future adopt laws, regulations, guidance, or other actions, which could severely impact the development, launch and growth of the DLT, Coro or other platforms that the Company may develop, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Failure by the Company to comply with any laws, rules, and regulations, some of which could not exist yet or are subject to interpretation and may be subject to change, could result in a variety of adverse consequences, including civil penalties and fines.

 

As blockchain networks and assets have grown in popularity and market size, federal and state agencies have begun to take interest in, and in some cases regulate, their use and operation. The SEC has taken various actions against persons or entities misusing crypto assets in connection with fraudulent schemes (i.e., Ponzi scheme), inaccurate and inadequate publicly disseminated information and the use of unregistered securities. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), likewise, has determined that bitcoin and other virtual currencies can be treated as commodities under the Commodities Exchange Act (“CEA”), and, based on this determination, the CFTC has applied CEA provisions and CFTC regulations that apply to transactions in commodity options and swaps to the conduct of a bitcoin derivatives trading platform.

 

Local state regulators such as the New York State Department of Financial Services, Texas, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Washington have also initiated examinations of crypto assets, blockchain networks, and the regulation thereof, or otherwise amended existing regulatory regimes to include crypto assets and networks within the scope of their purview.

 

Crypto assets currently face an uncertain regulatory landscape in not only the United States but also in many foreign jurisdictions such as the European Union, China, and Russia. Various foreign jurisdictions may, in the near future, adopt laws, regulations, or directives that could adversely affect the DLT, Coro and CXAU. Such laws, regulations, or directives may conflict with those of the United States or may directly and negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. The effect of any future regulatory change is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and materially adverse to the development, launch and growth of the DLT, Coro and CXAU.

 

To the extent that future regulatory actions or policies limit the ability to exchange certain crypto assets or utilize them for payments, the demand for such assets will be reduced, therefore potentially adversely affecting the viability of the DLT, Coro and CXAU. Furthermore, regulatory actions may limit the ability of end-users to convert crypto assets into fiat currency (e.g., U.S. Dollars) or use them to pay for goods and services. Similarly, regulatory actions could prevent the Company from accessing, purchasing, selling, or transferring crypto assets, and could result in a loss of funds and/or the inability of the Company to operate, therefore affecting the viability of the DLT, Coro and CXAU.

 

We are currently evaluating, in consultation with legal counsel, the applicability of federal securities laws to our planned Coro platform. Our launch of Coro will be subject to our determination, in consultation with legal counsel, that such launch will be in compliance with federal securities law.

 

It may be illegal now, or in the future, to acquire, own, hold, sell, or use crypto assets in one or more countries, and ownership of, holding, or trading of crypto assets, such as the CXAU if developed and launched may be considered illegal and subject to sanction.

 

One or more countries such as China and Russia may take regulatory actions in the future that severely restricts the right to acquire, own, hold, sell, or use certain (or all) crypto assets or to exchange them for fiat currency. Such an action may also result in the restriction of ownership, holding, or trading, in the CXAU. Such a restriction could harm the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

There is not an active, liquid market for our common stock, and investors may find it difficult to buy and sell our shares.

 

Our common stock is not listed on any national securities exchange. Accordingly, investors may find it more difficult to buy and sell our shares than if our common stock was traded on an exchange. Although our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink, it is an unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter market which provides significantly less liquidity than the NASDAQ Capital Market or other national securities exchange. Further, there is little reported trading in our common stock. These factors may have an adverse impact on the trading and price of our common stock.

 

The market price of our common stock is, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations .

 

The market price of our common stock is highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:

 

  variations in our quarterly operating results;

 

  announcements that our revenue or income are below analysts’ expectations;

 

  general economic slowdowns;

 

  sales of large blocks of our common stock; and

 

  announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments. 

 

Our common stock has in the paste been, and may in the future be s considered a “penny stock” and thus be subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to buy or sell.

 

Our common stock, which is traded on the OTC Pink, has in the past been, and may in the future be considered a “penny stock.” Securities broker-dealers participating in sales of “penny stock” are subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.

 

We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we currently anticipate that we will retain any earnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. Investors should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividend can further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in the Company.

 

Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

 

Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stock or that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock or to create any series of preferred stock, we may create such series and issue such shares in the future.

  

15

 

 

Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute then-existing shareholders’ percentage ownership of the Company.

 

Given our plans and expectations that we will need additional capital and personnel, we anticipate that we will need to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.

 

Ownership of our common stock is highly concentrated.

 

Our executive officers, directors, and principal stockholders beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 89.8 % of our outstanding common stock (see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”). In particular, our largest stockholders (Lyle Hauser (directly and through Vantage (an entity he owns), Brian Dorr, and David Dorr) collectively beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 86.1% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, such principal stockholders will be able to exert significant control over the election of the members of our board of directors, our management, and our affairs, and other corporate transactions (such as mergers, consolidations, or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that are submitted to shareholders for approval, and their interests may differ from the interests of other stockholders.

 

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 2. Properties.

 

We sub-lease, on a month-to-month basis under an arrangement with WeWork, office space located at 78 SW 7th Street, Miami, FL 33130. Our current monthly rent is approximately $1,200. We believe these facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our current business requirements.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

 

We are not party to any material legal proceedings, and our property is not the subject to any material legal proceedings.

   

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

 

Not applicable.

PART II

 

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

 

Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “HLAB” on the OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets. There is little trading activity in our common stock.

 

As of March 27, 2019, there were approximately 1,086 holders of record of our common stock.

 

Dividend Policy

 

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not expect to pay and any cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

 

As of December 31, 2018, except with respect to Mr. Goode’s employment agreement as set forth below, the Company did not have any securities authorized under any equity compensation plan.

 

In January 2019, the Company adopted the Hash Labs Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. 2,400,000 shares are available for awards under the plan. The plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders in February 2019.  

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

In January 2019, the Company sold 5,000 shares of common stock to an accredited investor for a purchase price of $25,000. In March 2019 the Company sold 5,000 shares of common stock to an accredited investor for a purchase price of $25,000.

 

In connection with the foregoing, the Company relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving a public offering.

 

Purchases by Issuer and Its Affiliates

 

None.

 

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see the explanatory note concerning “Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and Item 1A.

Business Overview

 

The Company is developing its first Fintech solution using Hashgraph DLT, which the Company intends to be a mobile application that will convert gold into a price-stable, scalable and 100% backed by physical gold cryptocurrency asset.

 

Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

 

Revenues

 

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 totaled $6,485 compared to revenues of $42,030 during the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease of $35,545 is related to the Company’s shift in business. We previously generated revenues from professional service specializing in HIPAA compliant retrieval, reproduction and release of information.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 totaled $2,455,774, an increase of $1,976,755 or approximately 413% compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $479,019 for the year ended December 31, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018 legal expense, consulting fees and compensation to our Chief Executive Office increased significantly. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred expensed of $818,472 related to the impairment of the software application referred to as the Dino Might program.

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense on convertible debentures for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, was $606,527 and $36,211 respectively. The increase was mainly due to the expense incurred with the beneficial conversion feature added to existing notes payable during the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Other Expense

 

Loss on change in fair value of derivate liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $6,088 and $6,839 respectively.

 

Net Loss

 

For the reasons stated above, our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018 was ($4,023,967) or ($0.26) per share, an increase of $2,707,611, compared to net loss of ($1,316,356), or ($8.70) per share, during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  

As of December 31, 2018, we had cash of $223,576, which compared to cash of $730 as of December 31, 2017. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $1,653,420. Our current liabilities as of December 31, 2018 of $709,891 consisted of: $223,067 for accounts payable and accrued liabilities, net convertible debenture – related party of $85,829, deferred compensation of $300,395, note payable – related party of $100,000, and derivative liability of $0. From June 2018 to July 2018 the Company entered into and closed subscription agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold to the investors an aggregate of 3,030,303 shares of common stock, for a purchase price of $0.33 per share, and aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000,000. From August 2018 to September 2018, the Company entered into and closed subscription agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold to the investors an aggregate of 866,666 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $1.00 per share, and aggregate gross proceeds of $866,666. The investors included JMG Horseshoe, LLC, which purchased 333,333 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $333,333. The managing member of JMG Horseshoe, LLC is J. Mark Goode, who is the Company’s chief executive officer. A related party converted $484,651 of convertible notes, accrued interest and preferred stock into common stock. The Company repaid two related parties a total of $101,935.

 

We anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital to execute our business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise funds through the sale of common stock or securities convertible into common stock, it may result in substantial dilution to our then-existing stockholders.

  

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

 We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company had historically generated revenue from licensing the right to utilize its proprietary software for the storage and distribution of healthcare information to individuals and affinity groups. For revenue from product sales, the Company recognized revenue on four basic criteria which must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value-based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued using the market price of the stock on the date of the related agreement.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

There were various updated recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that has superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replaced it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 requires that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

 

The Company’s primary source of revenue has been from providing a professional service that specializes in HIPAA compliant retrieval, reproduction and release of information. Orders are fulfilled as requested, then invoiced. Once payment is received, revenue is recognized when records are delivered. (The Company no longer performs this service and has not yet begun generating revenue under its new business focus.)

 

During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company finalized its assessment related to the new standard and determined that the timing of revenue recognition related to the Company’s revenues will remain consistent between the new standard and the previous standard. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, and there was no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU and finalizing theimpact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Hash Labs, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Hash Labs, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2018, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year 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, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Matter

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 in the financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $4,023,967, an accumulated deficit of $34,275,342 and a working capital deficit of $486,315. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. 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 audits. 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Hash Labs, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Hash Labs, Inc. and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For The Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2017

 

NOTE 1 — BUSINESS, GOING CONCERN AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements present the balance sheets, statements of operations, changes in stockholder’s deficit and cash flows of the Company. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

Principle of Consolidation

 

The accompanying financial statements present on a consolidated basis the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Coro Corp., which was organized in the State of Nevada on September 14, 2018. The Company is developing a financial technology, or Fintech, solution using a Hashgraph digital ledger.

 

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

  Nature of Business Operations

 

Hash Labs Inc. is a Nevada corporation that was originally formed on November 1, 2005 when Bio-Solutions International, Inc. (“Bio-Solutions”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with OmniMed Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bio-Solutions, OmniMed International, Inc. (“OmniMed”) and the shareholders of OmniMed. On January 17, 2006, OmniMed changed its name to MedeFile International, Inc. The Company’s business following the closing of this agreement was the sale of an Internet-enabled Personal Health Record (iPHR) system for gathering, digitizing, maintaining, accessing and sharing an individual’s medical records, and in connection therewith, providing a professional service specializing in HIPAA compliant retrieval, reproduction and release of information. Under this service, Company personnel went onsite to physicians’ offices weekly to reproduce the records requested by third parties.

 

In October 2017, the name of the Company was changed to Tech Town Holdings, Inc. to reflect a new business strategy centered on identifying and fostering new or early stage business opportunities being fueled by digital reinvention and innovation. To that end, our business-building platform was segmented into six categories, for which we planned to advance numerous technology development projects.

 

Following close scrutiny of emerging business opportunities, coupled with evaluation of market trends, the Company determined that a more prudent strategy was to narrow its focus. The Company has since concentrated its focus on dynamic global growth opportunities in the financial technology, or Fintech industry, with an emphasis on emerging Blockchain or distributed ledger technology (“DLT”). Effective March 2, 2018, the Company changed its name to Hash Labs Inc. The Company is developing its first Fintech solution using Hashgraph digital ledger technology, or DLT, which the Company intends to be a mobile application that will convert gold into a price-stable, scalable and 100% backed by physical gold cryptocurrency asset.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared contemplating a continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has reported a net loss of $4,023,967 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and has negative working capital of $486,315 as of December 31, 2018.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The operating losses and working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing depends on the success of its growth strategy and its future performance, each of which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond the Company’s control.

 

F- 7  

 

 

We will need to raise additional capital in order to continue operations. Additional investments are being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms.

 

Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail or cease our operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of these financial statements, cash and cash equivalents includes highly liquid debt instruments with maturity of less than three months.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. Currently our operating account is not above the FDIC limit.

 

Advertising

 

The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. The Company incurred no advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

 

The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods. Also included is guidance on measurement, recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

F- 8  

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. Minor additions and renewals are expensed in the year incurred. Major additions and renewals are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives being 3 years up to 10 years.

 

    Depreciation/
    Amortization
Asset Category   Period
Computer equipment   5 Years

 

Computer and equipment costs consisted of the following:

 

   

December 31,

2018

 
       
Computer equipment   $ 9,964  
Accumulated depreciation     (249 )
Balance   $ 9,715  

 

Depreciation expense was $249 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales to customers, distributors and resellers when products that do not require further services or installation by the Company are shipped, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and when collectability is reasonably assured. Cash received by the Company prior to shipment is recorded as deferred revenue. Sales are made to customers under terms allowing certain limited rights of return and other limited product and performance warranties for which provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling, represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in net sales. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of products sold.

 

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Topic 606 which was adopted at the beginning of fiscal year 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as the effect was immaterial. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Cash and Equivalents, Deposits In-Transit, Receivables, Prepaid and Other Current Assets, Accounts Payable, Accrued Salaries and Wages and Other Current Liabilities

 

The carrying amounts of these items approximated fair value.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 820-10-35 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).

 

F- 9  

 

 

Level 1 —Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 —Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 —Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

 

The application of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820-10-35 to our assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are described below:  

 

    Fair Value Measurements  
    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
December 31, 2018:                        
Liabilities                        
Derivative Liabilities   $      -     $     -     $    -     $     -  
Total   $ -     $ -     $ -     $ -

Derivative Liabilities   $ -     $ -     $ 19,406     $ 19,406  
Total   $ -     $ -     $ 19,406     $ 19,406  

 

Derivative liability as of December 31, 2018 was $0, compared to $19,406 as of December 31, 2017.

 

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. ASC 360-10 relates to assets that can be amortized and the life can be determinable. The Company reviews property and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the asset’s carrying amount to future undiscounted net cash flows the assets are expected to generate. Cash flow forecasts are based on trends of historical performance and management’s estimate of future performance, giving consideration to existing and anticipated competitive and economic conditions. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the projected discounted future cash flows arising from the assets or their fair values, whichever is more determinable. At December 31, 2017, the Company determined there was an impairment on the Domain Name assets. As a result, an impairment was recorded in the amount of $12,231. Additionally, an impairment was recognized for the Dino Might program in the amount of $818,422. The impairment on both assets was due to limited to no cash flow expected to be generated.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic and diluted loss per share amounts are computed based on net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible shares, if converted, totaling 145,712,968 and 4,563 common shares, respectively were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because the assumed conversion and exercise would be anti-dilutive for the year ending December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Management Estimates

 

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value-based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company accounts for nonemployee compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value-based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the earlier of a commitment date or completion of services based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued using the market price of the stock on the measurement date.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain 2017 balances have been reclassified in the 2018 financial statement presentation. The reclassification of accrued interest did not have any effect on the financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU and determining the impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

 

2. DEFERRED STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - RELATED PARTY

 

On May 18, 2018, the Company appointed Mark Goode as the new President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective May 18. 2018. He was also appointed a member and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

The Company entered into an employment agreement on May 18, 2018 with Mr. Goode, which provides for an annual salary and certain other benefits. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Goode’s annual base salary is $96,000, which may increase to up to $216,000 upon Mr. Goode meeting certain milestones set forth in the employment agreement related to the Company’s performance and is subject to increases as set from time to time by the Board. Upon the execution of the employment agreement, Mr. Goode received 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $1,250,000 ($2.50 per share). After one year of employment by the Company as the Chief Executive Officer, the Company will issue to Mr. Goode additional shares of common stock of the Company equal to 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company at the time of such issuance; after two years of employment by the Company as the Chief Executive Officer, the Company will issue to Mr. Goode additional shares of common stock of the Company equal to 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company at the time of such issuance; and after three years of employment by the Company as the Chief Executive Officer, the Company will issue to Mr. Goode additional shares of common stock of the Company equal to 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company at the time of such issuance. As of December 31, 2018 the Company accrued $300,995 in accordance with ASC 718-10-55-65 for the portion earned as the terms of such an award do not establish an ownership relationship because the extent to which (or whether) the employee benefits from the award depends on something other than changes in the entity’s share price. Therefore, the awards should be accounted for as a liability award. ASC 718 requires that public companies measure share-based awards classified as liabilities at fair value at each reporting date. In accordance with 718-30-35-3, a public entity shall measure a liability award under a share-based payment arrangement based on the award’s fair value re-measured at each reporting date until the date of settlement. Compensation cost for each period until settlement shall be based on the change (or a portion of the change, depending on the percentage of the requisite service that has been rendered at the reporting date) in the fair value of the instrument for each reporting period.

Notes payable – related party at beginning of period     222,000  
Borrowings on notes payable – related party     215,500  
Notes payable – related party     437,500  
Accrued interest   $ 33,103  

 

On July 15, 2016, the Company entered into an unsecured 7% promissory note with a significant shareholder in the amount of $100,000. The note had a one-year term and was in default as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018.

 

The changes in these notes payable to related party consisted of the following during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

 

    At December 31, 2018     At December 31, 2017  
Notes payable   $ 100,000     $ 100,000  
Accrued interest   $ 17,688     $ 10,688  

 

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company borrowed a total of $4,275 from the then-CEO of the Company; total expenses paid directly by the then-CEO of the Company was $3,200. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company repaid $4,330 to the then-CEO, and the amount due to the then-CEO was $3,145 as of December 31, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company repaid $3.220 to the then-CEO, and borrowed an additional $75. During the year ended December 31, 2018 the remaining amount of $3,145 was repaid. The advances carried a 0% interest rate and were to be repaid when funds were available.

 

4. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE – RELATED PARTY

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company entered into eight unsecured 7% promissory notes with a significant shareholder (the Vantage Group Ltd. (“Vantage”)). During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company entered into additional unsecured 7% promissory notes with Vantage totaling $215,500. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company entered into five additional notes with Vantage totaling $41,000 with an interest rate of 7%. The notes matured four to 12 months from issuance. On April 3, 2018, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Vantage. Pursuant to the exchange agreement, Vantage exchanged outstanding promissory notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $518,225 (including accrued interest) held by Vantage for a new convertible promissory note of the Company in the principal amount of $518,225. The convertible note bore interest at the rate of 7% per year and was convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.027. The Company recorded a debt discount of $518,225 for the fair value of the beneficial conversion feature. As of December 31, 2018 the Company amortized $518,225 of the debt discount.

 

The Company evaluated the modification under ASC 470-50 and concluded the addition of the conversion qualifies for debt modification which triggered debt extinguishment; however, there was no impact to the income statement as there was no unamortized discounts or other fees paid on the under the prior debt terms.

 

The Company analyzed the conversion option in the notes for derivative accounting treatment under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the instrument does not qualify for derivative accounting.

 

The Company therefore performed an analysis to determine if the conversion option was subject to a beneficial conversion feature and determined that the instrument does have a beneficial conversion feature equivalent. The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible note payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible note payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the date the note is due using the effective interest method. If the note payable is retired prior to the end of its contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. In general, the beneficial conversion feature is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the common shares at the commitment date to be received upon conversion.

In September 2017, the Company entered into and closed an asset purchase agreement with Vantage. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, the Company purchased from Vantage a software application referred to as Dino Might and related intellectual property. As consideration for the purchase, the Company issued to Vantage 7,000 shares of newly created Series C Preferred Stock, valued at $820,451, and granted to Vantage a revenue sharing interest in the Dino Might asset pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay to Vantage, for the Company’s 2017 fiscal year and the following nine years, 30% of the revenue generated by the Dino Might asset. The Company has recognized an impairment loss of $818,472, on the transaction based on the future discounted cash flows over the next three years.

 

Intellectual property is stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated amortization are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. Minor additions and renewals are expensed in the year incurred. The properties will be depreciated over their estimated useful lives being 3 years.

 

As noted above, the Company entered into two 10% convertible debentures with a significant shareholder, one in the amount of $50,000 on November 4, 2013 and the other in the amount of $60,000 on December 17, 2013.

During the year ended December 31, 2015 $40,000 of the note was converted and $70,000 was repaid. On June 29, 2018 the significant shareholder forgave the accrued interest, which was effective as of April 3, 2018. The Company recorded a capital contribution of $25,494 during the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

6. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

In connection with certain securities purchase agreements entered into during the third quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2012, the Company granted warrants with ratchet provisions. The warrants expired four years from the date of grant. During the first two years of grant, if the Company were to issue any additional shares of common stock at a price per share less than the exercise price in effect, the exercise price would be adjusted to equal the average price per share received by the Company for the additional shares issued. After the first two years following the issuance date, if the Company were to issue any additional shares of common stock at a price per share less than the exercise price in effect, the exercise price would be adjusted using a formula based on the existing exercise price, the outstanding shares before and after the issuance of such shares, and the average price during the issuance of such shares. In addition to the exercise price adjustment, the number of shares upon exercise of the warrants was also subject to adjustment.

 

Upon grant, the Company assesses the fair value of the warrants using the Black Scholes pricing model and records a warrant liability for the value. The Company then assesses the fair value of the warrants quarterly based on the Black Scholes Model and increases or decreases the warrant liability to the new value, and records a corresponding gain or loss (see below for variables used in assessing the fair value).

 

Due to the ratchet provisions, the Company treats the warrants as a derivative liability in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815). ASC 815 applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative and to any freestanding financial instruments that potentially settle in an entity’s own common stock.

 

These warrants expired during 2016 resulting in a derivative gain of $1,271. The fair value of the derivative liability associated with these warrants was $1,271 as of December 31, 2015.

 

As noted above, the Company entered into two 10% Secured Convertible Debentures with a significant shareholder, one in the amount of $50,000 on November 4, 2013 and the other in the amount of $60,000 on December 17, 2013. The debentures had a one-year term and were convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $400 or 80% of the previous day’s closing price.

 

F- 15  

 

 

The Company assesses the fair value of the convertible debenture using the Black Scholes pricing model and records a derivative liability for the value. The Company then assesses the fair value quarterly based on the Black Scholes Model and increases or decreases the liability to the new value and records a corresponding gain or loss (see below for variables used in assessing the fair value).

 

Due to the variable conversion rates, the Company treats the convertible debenture as a derivative liability in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815). ASC 815 applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative and to any freestanding financial instruments that potentially settle in an entity’s own common stock. The fair value of the conversion options was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the following significant assumptions during the the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

    December 31,
2018
    December 31,
2017
 
Risk-free interest rate at grant date     0.45 %     0.45 %
Expected stock price volatility     244 %     228 %
Expected dividend payout     -       -  
Expected option in life-years     1       1  

 

The change in fair value of the conversion option derivative liability consisted of the following during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

 

    December 31,
2018
    December 31,
2017
 
Conversion option liability (beginning balance)   $ 19,406     $ 12,567  
Reclassification to additional paid in capital     (25,494 )        
Loss on changes in fair market value of conversion option liability     6,088       6,839  
Net conversion option liability   $ -     $ 19,406  

 

Change in fair market value of conversion option liability resulted in a loss of $6,088 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and $6,839 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

7. EQUITY

 

On September 29, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series C Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Nevada (the “Series C Certificate of Designation”). The Company authorized 7,000 shares of preferred stock as Series C Preferred Stock. The Company issued 7,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock on September 29, 2017, as discussed below. The Series C Preferred Stock was convertible into common stock at a conversion ratio determined by dividing the Series C Original Issue Price of $100 per share by the conversion price of $2.00 (such that each share of Series C Preferred Stock was convertible into 50 shares of common stock). The Series C Preferred Stock had the right to vote on an as-converted basis with the common stock, and in the event any dividends were paid on the common stock, the Series C Preferred Stock would entitled to dividends on an as-converted basis. If a Distribution Event (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designation) occurred, the Company would pay to the holders of Series C Preferred Stock $30,000 for every $120,000 received from such Distribution Event, and the number of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock would be reduced by an amount determined by dividing the amount of such payment by the Series C Original Issue Price. A Distribution Event is defined as the receipt by the Company of $120,000 in proceeds from a financing not involving any holder of Series C Preferred Stock, or any fiscal period in which the Company generated gross profits of $120,000 or more. All outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock were converted to common stock in April 2018, as discussed below. No shares of Series C Preferred Stock are outstanding as of December 31, 2018, and no such shares may be re-issued.

 

On September 29, 2017, the Company issued 7,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock in connection with an asset purchase agreement (see Note 5). The value of the shares issued amount to $820,451.

9. INCOME TAXES

 

2017 U.S. Tax Reform

 

The Jobs act significantly revised the U.S. Corporate income tax by lowering the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

 

The significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets are as follows for the years ended December 31:

 

    2018     2017  
Deferred tax assets:                
Net operating loss carryforwards   $ 4,966,666     $ 3,775,351  
Total deferred tax assets     4,966,666       3,775,351  
Valuation allowance     (4,966,666 )     (3,775,351 )
Net deferred tax assets   $ -     $ -  

 

F- 18  

 

 

FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a full valuation allowance of $4,966,666 and $3,775,351 against its net deferred taxes is necessary as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The change in valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 is $1,191,315 and $1,320,415, respectively.

 

At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, the Company had approximately $19,596,000 and $17,977,860, respectively, of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards remaining.

 

As a result of certain ownership changes, the Company may be subject to an annual limitation on the utilization of its U.S. net operating loss carryforwards pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. A study to determine the effect, if any, of this change, has not been undertaken.

 

Tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

 

A reconciliation of the Company’s income taxes to amounts calculated at the federal statutory rate is as follows for the years ended December 31:

 

    2018     2017  
             
Federal statutory taxes     (21.00 )%     (21.00 )%
State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit     (4.35 )%     (4.35 )
Nondeductible items     -       -  
Change in tax rate estimates     -       -  
Change in valuation allowance     25.35 %     25.35

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 

None.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure and Control Procedures

 

Management of the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

   

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to the following material weaknesses:

 

  ●  Our chief executive officer also functions as our principal financial officer. As a result, our officers may not be able to identify errors and irregularities in the financial statements and reports.
     
  We were unable to maintain full segregation of duties within our financial operations due to our reliance on limited personnel in the finance function. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our financial statements, it could have resulted in a material misstatement that might have been prevented or detected by a segregation of duties.
     
  Documentation of all proper accounting procedures is not yet complete.

 

To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, we intend to take measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses, including, but not limited to increasing the capacity of our qualified financial personnel to ensure that accounting policies and procedures are consistent across the organization and that we have adequate control over financial statement disclosures.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements

 

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013).

 

A material weakness is defined within the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 5 as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

21

 

 

In conducting his evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer noted the following material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting:

 

  ●  While certain accounting procedures have been adopted, compliance with such procedures has been inconsistent.
     
  ●  The Board of Directors has not established an Audit Committee.  Accordingly, the entire Board, rather than an independent body, has reviewed our financial statements.
     
  ●  Segregation procedures could be improved by strengthening cross approval of various functions, including cash disbursements and internal audit procedures where appropriate.

 

As a result of these deficiencies in our internal controls, our officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. 

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(t) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART III

 

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

 

Directors and Executive Officers

 

The following table and biographical summaries set forth information, including principal occupation and business experience about our directors and executive officers:

 

Name   Positions   Age
J. Mark Goode   Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of Board of Directors   58
Niquana Noel   Chief Operating Officer, Director   37

 

J. Mark Goode has served as the Company’s the president, chief executive officer, and chairman of the board of directors, since May 18. 2018. Mr. Goode, a decorated former Captain in the United States Marine Corps, joined the Company from The Peninsula Group, LLC (“Peninsula”), an investment origination and management company focused on the life insurance settlement market, where he was the founder and Chief Executive Officer. During his 15-year tenure as Peninsula’s CEO, Mr. Goode’s team completed approximately 500 individual insurance investment transactions, representing more than $1 billion in life policy benefit value. Mr. Goode is also the founder and managing member of JMG Strategies, LLC, a Miami-based alternative investment management firm, and the founder of Life Premium Solutions, an independent insurance advisory firm that specializes in customized, innovative premium finance solutions for the advanced life insurance market. Mr. Goode has served as an elected member of the Board of Directors of the Life Insurance Settlement Association and previously served as the Association’s Vice President and as Chairman of its Political Action Committee. Mr. Goode was recognized in 2010 by Life Settlement Review as one of the “10 Most Influential Leaders” in the life settlement industry and previously, after eight years of military service, he was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal. Mr. Goode holds an Master of Arts Degree from The George Washington University. Mr. Goode’s business executive experience qualifies him to serve as a director of the Company.

 

Niquana Noel has served as the Company’s chief operating officer since May 18, 2018 and as a director of the Company since August 2013. Ms. Noel served as the Company’s chief executive officer and president from January 2014 to May 2018. Prior to serving in that capacity, Ms. Noel served as operations manager of the Company from 2008. Prior to joining the Company, Ms. Noel was the Executive Assistant to a Florida-based serial entrepreneur who had business interests ranging from the ownership and operation of cemeteries in Maryland, Virginia and Florida to the ownership and operation of exotic, high performance car dealerships and auto accessory businesses. Ms. Noel’s operational experience qualifies her to serve on the Company’s board of directors.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Board of Directors’ Term of Office

 

Directors are elected at our annual meeting of shareholders and serve for one year until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualified.

 

Committees of our Board of Directors

 

We have not established any committees, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, or any committees performing similar functions. The functions of those committees are currently undertaken by Board of Directors as a whole. We do have an audit committee financial expert because we do not have the resources to retain one.

  

23

 

 

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the chair of the board of directors and chief executive officer positions should be separate or combined, we have traditionally determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to combine these roles. Mr. Goode has served as our chair and chief executive officer since May 2018. We believe it is in the best interest of the Company to have the chair and chief executive officer roles combined due to our small size and limited resources.

 

Our board of directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes.  The board of directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. The board of directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our company are consistent with the Board’s appetite for risk. While the board oversees our company, our company’s management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.

 

No Family Relationships

 

There is no family relationship between any director and executive officer or among any directors or executive officers.

  

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To our knowledge, our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

 

  1. any bankruptcy petition filed by or against such person or any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
     
  2. any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
     
  3. being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities or to be associated with any person practicing in banking or securities activities;
     
  4. being found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action, the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a Federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
     
  5. being subject of, or a party to, any Federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of any Federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
     
  6. being subject of or party to any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization, any registered entity or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

Compliance with Section 16(A) of the Exchange Act

 

Because we do not have a class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, we are not subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics for adherence by its Chief Executive Officer to ensure honest and ethical conduct; full, fair and proper disclosure of financial information in the Company’s periodic reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act; and compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Any person may obtain a copy of our Code of Ethics, without charge, by mailing a request to the Company at the address appearing on the front page of this Annual Report on Form 10-K or by viewing it on our website found at www.hashlabs.net. 

 

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

 

The following table sets forth compensation information for services rendered by certain of our executive officers in all capacities during the last two completed fiscal years. The following information includes the dollar value of base salaries and certain other compensation, if any, whether paid or deferred. The executive officers of the Company did not receive any stock award, option award, non-equity incentive plan compensation, or nonqualified deferred compensation earnings during the last two completed years.

Chief Operating Officer, former Chief Executive Officer (3)   2017     96,000       -       -       -     96,000  

  

(1) Mr. Goode was appointed as our chief executive officer on May 18, 2018.

 

(2) Mr. Goode received 500,000 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $1,250,000 ($2.50 per share). After one year of employment by the Company as the Chief Executive Officer, the Company will issue to Mr. Goode additional shares of common stock of the Company equal to 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company at the time of such issuance; after two years of employment by the Company as the Chief Executive Officer, the Company will issue to Mr. Goode additional shares of common stock of the Company equal to 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company at the time of such issuance; and after three years of employment by the Company as the Chief Executive Officer, the Company will issue to Mr. Goode additional shares of common stock of the Company equal to 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company at the time of such issuance. As of December 31, 2018 the Company accrued $300,995 in accordance with ASC 718-10-55-65 for the portion earned as the terms of such an award do not establish an ownership relationship because the extent to which (or whether) the employee benefits from the award depends on something other than changes in the entity’s share price. Therefore, the awards should be accounted for as a liability award. ASC 718 requires that public companies measure share-based awards classified as liabilities at fair value at each reporting date. In accordance with 718-30-35-3, a public entity shall measure a liability award under a share-based payment arrangement based on the award’s fair value re-measured at each reporting date until the date of settlement. Compensation cost for each period until settlement shall be based on the change (or a portion of the change, depending on the percentage of the requisite service that has been rendered at the reporting date) in the fair value of the instrument for each reporting period.

 

(3) For the year ended December 31, 2017, all compensation for Niquana Noel was accrued. There was no payroll paid to Niquana Noel during 2017. Ms. Noel subsequently waived this accrued compensation.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

 

The following table sets forth certain information, as of March 27, 2019, with respect to the beneficial ownership of the outstanding common stock by (i) any holder of more than five (5%) percent; (ii) each of the Company’s executive officers and directors; and (iii) the Company’s directors and executive officers as a group.

 

The table lists applicable percentage ownership based on 22,858,246 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 27, 2019. In addition, the rules include shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants that are either immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 27, 2019. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

  

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws. Except as otherwise noted below, the address for persons listed in the table is c/o Hash Labs Inc., 78 SW 7 th Street, Miami, FL 33130.

Exhibit 14

 

Hash Labs Inc.
Code of Ethics
 

Hash Labs Inc.,  (the “Company”) has adopted this Code of Ethics (“Code”) for the following purposes:

 

to deter wrongdoing

 

to promote the honest and ethical conduct of all the Company’s employees, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

to promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports and communications issued by the Company; and

 

to promote compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

 

This Code is being adopted in order to comply with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, related rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

This Code is applicable to all employees. In addition, certain provisions of this Code are specifically directed to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and financial managers.

 

All employees are expected to abide by this Code. Although this Code provides standards of conduct for many situations, it does not cover all possible situations that may arise. Accordingly, all employees are expected to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the spirit and letter of this Code and avoid even the appearance of improper behavior.

 

All the Company’s employees must become familiar with, and abide by this Code. Each existing employee and each new employee, when hired, must certify, as a condition of employment, that he or she has received, read, understands, and agrees to comply with the Code.

 

Failure to provide a timely certification constitutes a violation of the Code and can result in disciplinary action. When there is any doubt whether a particular transaction or course of conduct complies with or is subject to this Code, the employee should consult the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

 

The CEO, CFO, and financial managers are responsible for maintaining the Company’s accounting records in accordance with all applicable laws, and ensure that the accounting records are proper, supported, classified, and do not contain any false or misleading entries.

 

The CEO, CFO, and financial managers are responsible for the Company’s system of internal financial controls and shall promptly bring to the attention of the Chairman of the Audit Committee, any information he or she may have concerning:

 

significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data; and

 

any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s financial reporting, disclosures, or internal control over financial reporting.

 

The CEO, CFO, and all financial managers are responsible for full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in:

 

reports and documents that the Company files with or submits to the SEC; and

 

the Company’s other communications with the public, including both written and oral disclosures, statements, and presentations.

 

 

 

 

The following guidelines for employees are to assist in the implementation of this provision:

 

No employee may make any false or misleading entry in the Company’s books and records;

 

No employee may approve or make any payment with the agreement or understanding that any part of such payment is to be used for any purpose other than that described by the documents supporting the payment; and

 

No employee shall use the Company’s funds for any unlawful purpose.

 

The CEO, CFO, all financial managers and employees are not permitted, directly or indirectly, to take any action to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate, or mislead any independent public or certified public accountant engaged in the performance of an audit or review of the financial statements of the Company that are required to be filed with the SEC if such person knew or was unreasonable in not knowing that such action could, if successful, result in rendering such financial statements materially misleading.

 

For purposes of this Code of Ethics, actions that “could, if successful, result in rendering such financial statements materially misleading” include, but are not limited to, actions taken at any time with respect to the professional engagement period to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate, or mislead an auditor:

 

to issue a report on the Company’s financial statements that is not warranted in the circumstances (due to material violations of generally accepted accounting principles, generally accepted auditing standards, or other applicable standards);

 

not to perform audit, review or other procedures required by generally accepted auditing standards or other applicable professional standards;

 

not to withdraw an issued report; or

 

not to communicate matters to the Audit Committee.

 

The CEO, CFO, each financial manager and each employee shall promptly bring to the attention of the Chairman of the Audit Committee any information he or she may have concerning evidence of a material violation of the securities or other laws, rules or regulations applicable to the Company or its employees or agents, or any violation of this Code of Ethics.

 

The CEO, CFO, financial managers, and employees shall not, during the term of their employment with the Company, compete with the Company and may never let business dealings on behalf of the Company be influenced, or even appear to be influenced, by personal or family interests. The CEO, CFO, financial managers and employees shall promptly bring to the attention of the Chairman of the Audit Committee any information he or she may have concerning any actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, involving any management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s financial reporting, disclosures or internal controls.

 

The Company is committed to complying with both the letter and the spirit of all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. The Company intends to prevent the occurrence of conduct not in compliance with this Code of Ethics and to halt any such conduct that may occur as soon as reasonably possible after its discovery. Allegations of non-compliance will be investigated whenever necessary and evaluated at the proper level(s). Those found to be in violation of this Code of Ethics, including failures to report potential violations by others, are subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Criminal misconduct may be referred to the appropriate legal authorities for prosecution.

 

The Company will strive to keep confidential the identity of anyone reporting a possible violation. To facilitate the fullest compliance possible, and encourage employees to ask questions when presented with potential violations, the Company will not tolerate retaliation against any employee asking questions or making a good faith report in an attempt to comply with this code. Open communication of issues and concerns by all employees without fear of retribution or retaliation is vital to the successful implementation of this Code. All employees are required to cooperate with the internal investigation of misconduct and unethical behavior.

 

Any waiver of this Code of Ethics may be made only by the Audit Committee and will be promptly disclosed as required pursuant to federal securities laws, regulations and applicable listing standards.
