SUMMARY
LETTER TO PROSPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS
January 5, 2018
We invite you to join the over 48,000 iConsumer members and
shareholders building a business that's changing the faces of Wall
Street. Ordinary people, the 99%, are demonstrating that
they can be involved and make a difference in their own financial
lives, and in the lives of others. Our members join to earn equity
(OTCQB: RWRDP) in iConsumer. To find a new way to
better their lives while saving money. They earn
equity for joining, shopping, and referring new customers. They
save money through deals and bitcoin rebates at over
1,800 retailers, they join to participate in building a business
from the ground up, they join to win if their share of iConsumer
gets more valuable, and mostly, they join to make a
difference.
And
now, members get Bitcoin for shopping.
They’re
joining to get Bitcoin, in addition to earning our equity, every
time they shop at over 1,800 stores across the world. It replaced
cash back in our ecosystem.
It’s the
first step in our journey to make iConsumer a blockchain native
company. Our goal is to issue our own token (also known as altcoin
or cryptocurrency). We’re preliminarily calling our token
REWARDScoin™. We believe that issuing our own token should
make it easier for our members and prospective members in every
country to participate, to make it less expensive for us to do
business worldwide, and to make it more attractive to become an
iConsumer customer and shareholder. Ultimately, we hope that
REWARDScoin become like frequent flyer miles on steroids, points
that are redeemable by anybody, and independent of iConsumer.
Accepted by stores for payment, used by charities to reward donors,
and easily tradeable.
What happens after
members have experienced getting Bitcoin in addition to great deals
when they shop? The plan is to give them the opportunity to get
REWARDScoin. We’ll be working to attract new members who want
to get their feet wet in the cryptocurrency space. After
introducing them through our Bitcoin offer, we think they’ll
be receptive to earning a coin that has better features for
commerce.
It’s no
secret that Bitcoin is hot. Many are saying it and altcoin like
Ether, Ripple, and Litecoin are in a bubble. They may very well be.
Later in this document you’ll read about all the risks we can
think of, and tell you to be wary about the risks we haven’t
thought of yet. There is no mistaking that this path is risky.
There are several steps we need to take before we can issue our own
token, and because of the regulatory and market uncertainties, we
may never be able to launch REWARDScoin.
Long term, being
blockchain native may mean changes to how we account for, issue,
and transfer out shares. The apparent benefits of
being blockchain native are being hyped unmercifully. We plan to be
cautious in our embrace.
A
changing world.
The path is also
clear. The financial world is changing. And we’re changing
with it. Execution matters. We need to introduce Bitcoin
successfully, leverage being newly quoted to raise capital, use
most of that capital to attract lots of new members and use some of
it to build and deploy REWARDScoin. Then leverage our various
customer bases by giving away REWARDScoin (including to the
charities involved in our affiliated company – iGive.com),
increase redemption opportunities, and finally migrate members to
REWARDScoin. Any one of those steps may fail, or be deemed
unworkable.
One of the great
risks is regulatory. It’s a two-edged sword. We spent a lot
of money to be regulated by the SEC to be able to have 1,000,000
shareholders. We’ve spent more money on getting a quotation
in order to make it easier to buy and sell our stock. We think the
SEC reporting we’re required to do gives us unparalleled
transparency in this new world. And we think that regulatory
requirement may make it easier for us to issue REWARDScoin. This
document doesn’t detail our plans for REWARDScoin, partially
for competitive reasons, but also because the regulations
surrounding issuing a token in our situation are still
unclear.
Is
there an ICO in our future?
An ICO is an
Initial Coin Offering. Also known as a token generation event.
Whatever it’s called, what is clear is that we want to
deliver our token, if and when we create it, to our stakeholders.
So long as it’s commercially reasonable, our lawyers say
it’s ok, and it still makes sense to us (in our sole
discretion), we want our current and future customers, the people
who help build our company, to benefit from this
token.
Successfully
creating a token requires many steps. We’ve put together a
stellar team of advisors. By using their knowledge, progressively
adopting a blockchain based decentralized ledger as and when
appropriate, and being consumer focused we have a great start.
Further, leveraging multiple communities (members, retailers,
charities, and donors) in one token ecosystem, gives us great tools
that are already in place.
Getting
Bitcoin doesn’t fundamentally alter iConsumer’s
economic model.
The switch to
Bitcoin from cash back didn’t fundamentally change the
economics of our business. Instead of having to send people cash,
we’ll have to deliver them Bitcoin. We’re buying the
Bitcoin, and hedging the risks of buying a volatile cryptocurrency.
The back end for accounting for and buying Bitcoin (or REWARDScoin
when that exists) is basically the same as accounting for shares
earned, which we do today. Long term, we expect it to make our
lives easier. In the short term, our cash gross profit may improve
as a percentage of revenue.
Enough about the
future; our past year was filled with notable events. What we
learned in attracting and managing cash back customers translated
to attracting customers interested in getting Bitcoin
back.
Our membership numbers grew more than 270% between
February 1 and today. We’ve cracked the member acquisition
puzzle. And we’re making progress on the revenue puzzle. We
understand how to attract profitable customers. We'll need to
take that knowledge and make it work in the Bitcoin back
world. We’re on our way to proving that a company can
both make money and, to paraphrase Steve Jobs, make a dent in the
universe.
Companies in this business make money by attracting and
incentivizing consumers to use their services to shop at retailers.
Consumers save money by doing so. Retailers pay for that traffic
and loyalty. Companies attract consumers by aggregating
retailers’ deals and offers, delivering those coupons to
consumers, and then sharing the revenue that traffic generates with
the consumer in the form of cash back rebates.
That
worked well for our competitors like eBates and
RetailMeNot, 10,000,000+ consumers well, when the
rebate was cash, but they're yesterday’s news.
iConsumer goes two major steps farther
than the incumbents. Millennials are demanding more.
Heck, everybody’s demanding more. They want to change the
world AND get great deals AND play in the Bitcoin
world. By making customers shareholders, we’re
changing their world in addition to giving them rebates and saving
them money. We’re also creating opportunity for iConsumer by
giving customers a vested interest in the success of iConsumer.
And by getting them Bitcoin, we're giving them an easier way
to get cryptocurrency exposure.
Every one of those nearly 50,000 customers becomes a shareholder.
Skin in the Wall Street game. Skin in the success of iConsumer.
More shopping gets them more skin. All because they signed up, for
free, to be iConsumer members
It’s why we say that “Ownership is the Ultimate Loyalty
Program”.
Tooting our own horn.
We placed $148,500 in convertible debt through a
Regulation D offering. That is, we borrowed money, and we granted
the people who lent us that money the option to buy our stock at a
future date.This was necessary because under FINRA rules, we
could not have an open offering.
We’ve filed our first year-end statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (our Form 1-K) with audited financials.
Those 2016 audited financial statements are a part of this offering
circular. The price we’re offering our stock at went from
$.045 a share initially, to $.09 a share in January, to $.15 a
share in this offering. And we filed our unaudited six-month
statement (our 1-SA), as well. We think transparency will help us
succeed. Our monthly letter from the CEO, available on our blog,
furthers our commitment to being open.
Our most important financial measure, cash available after paying
rebates (our cash gross profit, calculated by eliminating the
non-cash expense of stock back rebates), grew from an
unaudited negative $111,674 for the six months ended June
30, 2016 to a positive $24,168 for the six months ended June
30, 2017. Unaudited revenues went from $328,478 for the first six
months in 2016 to $211,266 for the first six months of 2017. To
further interpret that, our revenue dropped, while we generated
significantly more gross profit.
Paid recruitment worked. We grew from 13,111 member /
shareholders on February 1, to 22,144 on April 30. As we write
this, we’re over 48,000 members.
Here’s the exciting part about those two measures.
It
cost us approximately $30,000 in cash to grow by approximately
9,000 members. Our monthly cash available after paying rebates
(the number we think Wall Street should judge us by) grew by
approximately $4,000. In other words, we invested $30,000 in our
growth, and we’re getting back about $4,000 a month. $48,000
in a year. While nothing is certain, that’s darn
encouraging.
We have a blockchain future.
The financial world is in a tizzy about blockchain technology.
Securities regulators, investors, and even ordinary folk are trying
to understand what this means to them. Bitcoin (built on a
blockchain) speculation is the subject of cocktail party chatter.
Alternative cryptocurrencies are all the rage. In December,
2017 we transitioned from providing cash-based rebates to providing
Bitcoin-based rebates. This sets the stage for the potential
addition of our own token, preliminarily called
REWARDScoin. This
world is rapidly changing, and it’s going to create new
winners and losers. It’s our intention to be a winner
with our transition to getting Bitcoin back, and, eventually,
our REWARDScoin.
Thanks for considering us.

RISK FACTORS
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) requires the company to identify risks
that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The
company is still subject to all the same risks that all companies
in its business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to.
These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and
economic events and technological developments (such as hacking and
the ability to prevent hacking). Additionally, early-stage
companies are inherently more risky than more developed companies.
You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when
deciding whether to invest.
Risks
Related to the Company and its
Business
The company has only recently commenced its planned principal
operations.
iConsumer was formed in 2010 and recognized no significant revenues
prior to 2016. In the first quarter of 2016, the company
experienced positive results from its market testing. This testing
was limited in scope and duration. After the positive testing
results, the company reduced its marketing expenditures in
anticipation of a first closing on its initial offering, which it
did in December, 2016. Throughout the balance of 2016, and until
January, 2017, its focus has been on preparing a marketing
campaign, not member acquisition or revenue growth. Accordingly,
the company has a limited history upon which an evaluation of its
performance and future prospects can be made. iConsumer’s
current and proposed operations are subject to all the business
risks associated with new enterprises. These include likely
fluctuations in operating results as the company reacts to
developments in its market, including purchasing patterns of
shoppers and the reaction of existing competitors to
iConsumer’s offerings and entry of new competitors into the
market. iConsumer will only be able to pay dividends on any shares
once its directors determine that it is financially able to do
so.
The company depends on one source of revenue.
The company is completely dependent on online shopping. If this
market were to cease to grow, or to decrease, for reasons that may
include economic or technological reasons (including, for example,
recessions or loss of confidence in online commerce due to hacking)
the company may not succeed. The company’s current customer
base of members is small compared to competitors, having begun
post-testing operations in February 2017, and the company will only
succeed if it can attract a significant number of
customers.
The company’s current customer base of retailers and
advertisers (to whom it provides advertising and loyalty services)
numbers approximately 1,800. The company will only succeed if these
retailers choose to continue to do business with iConsumer. They
may choose to stop doing business with the company for reasons in
or out of the control of the company. There are no contractual
requirements binding the retailer or advertiser to continue a
relationship.
The company is depending on the incentive of ownership in the
company to attract customers.
iConsumer is using the prospect of ownership in the company and the
ability to share in its success as an incentive to use the
company’s products. If potential consumers do not find this a
compelling reason to use iConsumer as opposed to its competitors,
the company will have fewer unique selling
propositions to distinguish it from its competitors.
This incentive requires that potential shareholders be able to
ascertain the value of their ownership, which may be hard or
impossible to do. Historically, the amount of the incentive is
calculated based upon a consumer receiving ownership priced at the
most recent market price for its equity. The company anticipates
changing this calculation up and down, due to market or other
forces.
The value of the ownership earned by consumers is a non-cash
expense to the company.
This non-cash expense will depress earnings for the foreseeable
future. This may affect the price future prospective shareholders
are willing to pay for the stock. The company’s financial
projections assume that there is a tax benefit to this non-cash
expense. If that assumption is false, the company will have a
larger tax liability than anticipated. The company is recording the
cost of the incentive compensation at the last public price paid
for its stock in its qualified offerings. If there is no price
quoted publicly, the company will need to use other valuation
methodologies.
The
company is challenged in raising capital.
Until the company
is cash flow positive, it requires outside financing to meet its
obligations, and to fund its growth. Raising such outside financing
is extremely hard to do, and there is no certainty that the company
will succeed in raising sufficient financing.
The company’s operations are reliant on technology licensed
from a related company.
iConsumer’s operations are run on technology licensed from
Outsourced Site Services, LLC (“OSS”), a company under
common control, pursuant to an Amended and Restated License
Agreement dated May 25, 2016 (the “License Agreement”),
which is summarized under “Interest of Management and Others
in Certain Transactions". iConsumer pays OSS a license fee for the
use of this technology, and it is the intention of Robert
Grosshandler, who controls both companies, to reduce the fee over
time, as described in “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.
Changes in the license fee will impact the company’s expenses
and profitability. Since Mr. Grosshandler controls both companies,
and will continue to control iConsumer after this offering, he will
have the power to determine whether the company will continue to be
able to rely on the OSS license, and the price (whether at market
rate, or above or below market rate) it pays for the
license.
A related company provides operational and other services, which
eventually the company will have to pay for at market
rates.
The company’s personnel and other operational support such as
web hosting, site maintenance, customer support, retailer support
and marketing are currently provided by OSS, pursuant to the
License Agreement, as described in “Interest of Management
and Others in Certain Transactions”. The company will
eventually have to pay its own personnel and perform these
functions itself, or outsource them to other providers. This may
have the result of increasing the company’s expenses. The
current arrangement also means that the financial results of the
company in the current stage of operations are unlikely to be a
good indicator of future performance.
The company depends on a small management team.
The company depends primarily on the skill and experience of four
individuals, Robert Grosshandler, Melinda Moore, Kimberly Logan,
and Sanford Schleicher. If the company is not able to call upon any
of these people for any reason, its operations and development
could be harmed.
The company is controlled by its officers and
directors.
Robert Grosshandler currently holds all of the company’s
voting stock, and at the conclusion of this offering will continue
to hold all of the company’s common stock. Investors in this
offering will not have the ability to control a vote by the
shareholders or the board of directors.
Competitors may be able to call on more resources than the
company.
While the company believes that its approach to online shopping is
unique, it is not the only way to attract users. Additionally,
existing or new competitors may replicate iConsumer’s
business ideas (including the issuance of shares to users) and
produce directly competing offerings. These competitors may be
better capitalized than iConsumer, which might give them a
significant advantage, for example, in surviving an economic
downturn where shoppers pull back. Competitors may be able to use
their greater resources to provide greater rebates or cashback to
consumers, even to uneconomic levels that iConsumer cannot
match.
There are logistical challenges involved in the management of large
numbers of shareholders.
iConsumer’s business plan is based upon using share ownership
as a way to attract online shoppers to its services, and the more
it succeeds in doing so, the larger the number of shareholders it
will have to manage. The need to address shareholder concerns with
respect to recording of ownership, transfer and communications with
shareholders may take up a disproportionate amount of management
time.
Our accountant has included a “going concern” note in
its audit report.
We may not have enough funds to sustain the business until it
becomes profitable. Even if we raise funds in this offering, we may
not accurately anticipate how quickly we may use the funds and if
these funds are sufficient to bring the business to profitability.
Our ability to remain in business is reliant on either generating
sufficient cash flows, raising additional capital, or likely a
combination of the two.
Rebate oriented customers are demanding and
aggressive.
Companies such as iConsumer attract customers who enjoy pushing the
limits in order to maximize their rebates and stock
compensation. This aggressive buying behavior can turn into
fraudulent behavior against iConsumer or its partners. The
company believes that it is the first established company to offer
rebates in the form of Bitcoin. It is possible that customers drawn
to this offer will be more or less aggressive than cash back
customers. The company will need to manage this risk and
behavior. Doing so may take up a disproportionate amount of
management’s time. This behavior may have unknown financial
exposure for iConsumer.
The
transition to providing rebates in the form of Bitcoin may
fail.
The company’s
more than 48,000 customers may find getting Bitcoin instead of cash
unattractive, and stop doing business with us. New customers may
find getting Bitcoin as a rebate an unattractive proposition, and
not join. Customers may spend more or less than their historical
averages, due to the transition to Bitcoin. The cost to market to
potential customers may be uneconomical. There are no historical
precedents to guide the company’s forecasting, making it more
likely that our forecasts will be inaccurate.
Using
Bitcoin as compensation creates speculative
risk.
The company is
required to purchase Bitcoin at prevailing market rates in order to
satisfy its need to fulfill Bitcoin to customers. As the
markets for Bitcoin are new, thinly capitalized, and unregulated,
the company is not able to foresee all of the risks the need to
purchase Bitcoin might entail. At a minimum, this need to
participate in the markets exposes the company to the extreme
volatility in the market price of Bitcoin, plus the potential
inability to purchase sufficient Bitcoin at any price. While
the company intends to use commercially reasonable means to
mitigate those risks (including, but not limited to, engaging in
hedging operations), it may lack the expertise, capital, or other
elements necessary to successfully purchase Bitcoin to fulfill its
obligations to customers.
The
company has no management with international
experience.
The company may
need to expand its marketing, investment efforts, and operations
beyond North America. Current management has no experience in this
area. It may need to hire employees, or retain contractors and
advisors, with applicable experience. There is no assurance that
such employees, contractors, or other resources, will be available
and/or affordable at the point the company seeks such
assistance.
Risks
Related to the Company's Securities
There is no current liquid market for the preferred
stock. We may not continue to satisfy the requirements
for quotation on the OTCQB and, even if we do, an active market for
the preferred stock may not develop.
Prior to December 1, 2017, there has been no formal marketplace for
the resale of the company’s preferred stock. Our
preferred stock is quoted on the OTCQB over-the-counter market
operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbol
“ICCMP”. Even though our stock is quoted, that does not mean that there is or will be a
liquid market for our equity. If we fail to continue to meet
the requirements for quotation on OTCQB, the shares may be traded on other tiers of the
over-the-counter market to the extent any demand exists. Whether or
not we’re quoted on a market, or listed on an exchange,
investors should assume that they may not be able to liquidate
their investment for some time, or be able to pledge their shares
as collateral, or be able to hold the stock in a traditional
brokerage account. Without a liquid market for the preferred stock,
it may be impossible for member-shareholders to be able to value
their stock, reducing or eliminating the value of the stock as an
incentive. Even if we continue to satisfy the requirements of the
OTCQB, it is not a stock exchange. As a result, there may be
significantly less trading volume and analyst coverage of, and
significantly less investor interest in, our preferred stock than
there would be if the shares were listed on a stock exchange, which
may lead to lower trading prices for our preferred
stock.
If
we are are successful in continuing to be quoted on a market, we
will be considered a “penny stock”.
Among
other consequences, this will make it harder, potentially
impossible, for a liquid market in our securities to develop.
Without a liquid market, it is harder, potentially impossible, for
a shareholder to find a buyer for his, hers, or its securities at
an acceptable price. For example, many institutional investors will
not invest in the “penny stocks”.
If
and when our quoted stock price goes down, customer / shareholders
may react negatively.
Many of
the company’s shareholders are first time investors in a
“public” company. Their reaction to a fluctuating stock
quote is unknown. For example, they may choose to stop being
customers or they may choose to air their grievances on social
media platforms.
Alternative
forms of investment are becoming popular.
Competitors,
and potential competitors to the company, are issuing crypto
currencies that allow them to raise capital in ways that the
company may not be able to replicate. This increases the number of
probable competitors to the company. The company is exploring using
these alternative forms of capital formation, such as ICOs, however
there are no assurances that such efforts will be successful or
affordable. Even a failed effort requires expending scarce
resources. The increasing popularity of this fundraising mechanism
is making qualified resources able to assist with the process hard
to find, and if available, very expensive. There is no assurance
that these forms of alternative investment will remain available to
the company.
The
company faces competition from blockchain-based
technologies.
Blockchain
technology may completely change the competitive and capital
raising landscapes. There is no certainty that the company will be
able to respond to these challenges successfully. The technologies
may negatively affect the company’s relationships with
customers, vendors, investors, and other participants.
Risks
Related to Bitcoin, Cryptocurrencies and
Blockchain
The
fundamental value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is
sensitive to subjective perception.
The value of a
cryptocurrency can be based on its ease of use, the energy used to
mine it, what it can be used to purchase, or its revolutionary
technology, but there is no underlying value or institution
supporting its value. This results in price volatility, which
encourages speculative behavior. Speculative subscribers may hold
the cryptocurrency instead of spending it, which makes the currency
illiquid. Furthermore, any particular cryptocurrency may become
worthless, which could result in an adverse effect on the company
and members who receive Bitcoin and the REWARDScoin that we intend
to develop.
Developments
in regulation, corporate and commercial laws may restrict the use
of blockchain assets or the operation of a blockchain network upon
which we rely in a manner that adversely affects our
business.
Blockchain networks
currently face an uncertain regulatory landscape in not only the
United States but also in other jurisdictions such as the European
Union, China and Russia. Various jurisdictions may, in the near
future, adopt laws, regulations or directives that affect Bitcoin
or the smart contract protocol that the company would have to
employ to develop REWARDScoin, particularly any blockchain asset
exchanges and blockchain asset service providers that fall within
such jurisdictions’ regulatory scope. Such laws, regulations
or directives may directly and negatively impact our business. The
effect of any future regulatory change on Bitcoin or REWARDScoin is
impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and
adverse to our business or members who receive Bitcoin or
REWARDScoin.
A
disruption of the Internet or the Bitcoin or cryptocurrency
networks could impair the value and the ability to transfer Bitcoin
or REWARDScoin.
A
significant disruption in Internet connectivity could disrupt the
Bitcoin network, or the operations of any network on which the
REWARDScoin may reside, until the disruption is resolved, and could
have an adverse effect on the value of Bitcoin or REWARDScoin. In
addition, cryptocurrency networks have been subjected to a number
of denial of service attacks, which led to temporary delays in
transactions. It is possible that such an attack could adversely
affect the value of Bitcoin or REWARDScoin.
Platforms
that use a blockchain can be subject to cybersecurity threats such
as hackers and can result in users losing
money.
Hackers or other
malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with
blockchain technology through different means, including but not
limited to malware attacks, denial of service attacks and consensus
based attacks. Transactions can also be subject to fraud and theft.
Because payments on blockchains are irreversible, once a purchaser
completes a transaction that is fraudulent, the transaction cannot
be reversed.
Law
enforcement officials may face particular challenges when
investigating blockchain activities and, as a result, investor
remedies may be limited.
There are
particularized challenges for law enforcement in investigating
unlawful conduct related to the blockchain, which
include:
●
Tracing money.
Because blockchain technology involves decentralized currency, it
may be more difficult to track the exchange of money, especially
for law enforcement officials that want to track theft and
misappropriation of funds.
●
International
scope. Blockchain transactions and users span the globe. Although
enforcement agencies, such as the Commission, regularly obtain
information from abroad, there may be restrictions on how they can
use the information and it may take more time to get the
information. In some cases, the agencies may be unable to obtain
information from persons or entities located
overseas.
●
No central
authority. As there is no central authority that collects
blockchain user information, the regulatory and enforcement
agencies generally must rely on other sources for this type of
information.
●
Freezing or
securing blockchain wallets. Law enforcement officials may have
difficulty freezing or securing investor funds that are held in a
blockchain wallet and involved in illegal
activity.
These and other
challenges may make it more difficult for law enforcement to
investigate unlawful conduct related to blockchain technologies and
recover cryptocurrencies.
The
further development and acceptance of cryptocurrency and use of
blockchain technology, which are part of a new and rapidly changing
industry, are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to
evaluate. The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance
of cryptocurrencies or use of blockchain technology upon which the
company may rely could have an adverse material adverse effect on
the company.
The growth of the
cryptocurrency industry and blockchain technology in general is
subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The factors affecting the
further development of the cryptocurrency industry and blockchain
technology include, among others:
●
Continued worldwide
growth in the adoption and use of digital currencies and blockchain
technology;
●
Government and
quasi-government regulation of Bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies,
blockchain technology and other assets and their use, or
restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of
blockchain networks or similar systems;
●
The maintenance and
development of the open-source software protocol of Bitcoin or
other cryptocurrency networks;
●
Changes in consumer
demographics and public tastes and preferences;
●
The availability
and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling
goods and services, or trading assets including new means of using
fiat currencies or existing networks;
●
General economic
conditions and the regulatory environment relating to
cryptocurrencies, digital assets and blockchain
technology;
●
Hacking and theft
of cryptocurrencies and tokens;
●
Popularity or
acceptance of the Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency networks and the
emergence of new cryptocurrencies and blockchain networks;
and
●
Negative consumer
perception of cryptocurrencies or blockchain
technology.
In the event that a
more efficient digital token protocol than Bitcoin emerges, the
company in its discretion may replace Bitcoin.
The
prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in
the price of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies could materially and
adversely affect the company and the value of members’
rebates and rewards.
The prices of
blockchain assets are significant uncertainties for the company and
members. The price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies such as
Ether, Ripple, and Litecoin are subject to dramatic fluctuations.
While the company intends to use commercially reasonable means to
mitigate its exposure to such fluctuations, several factors may
affect price, including, but not limited to:
●
Global blockchain
asset supply;
●
Global blockchain
asset demand, which can be influenced by the growth of
retailers’ and commercial businesses’ acceptance of
blockchain assets like cryptocurrencies as payment for goods and
services, the security of online blockchain asset exchanges and
digital wallets that hold blockchain assets, the perception that
the use and holding of blockchain assets is safe and secure, and
the regulatory restrictions on their use;
●
Changes in the
software, software requirements or hardware requirements underlying
a blockchain network;
●
Changes in the
rights, obligations, incentives, or rewards for the various
participants in a blockchain network;
●
Currency exchange
rates, including the rates at which Bitcoin and other
cryptocurrencies may be exchanged for fiat
currencies;
●
Fiat currency
withdrawal and deposit policies of blockchain asset exchanges and
liquidity on such exchanges;
●
Interruptions in
service from or failures of major blockchain asset
exchanges;
●
Investment and
trading activities of large investors, including private and
registered funds, that may directly or indirectly invest in
blockchain assets;
●
Monetary policies
of governments, trade restrictions, currency devaluations and
revaluations;
●
Regulatory
measures, if any, that affect the use of blockchain
assets;
●
The maintenance and
development of the open-source software protocol of the Bitcoin or
other cryptocurrency networks;
●
Global or regional
political, economic or financial events and
situations;
●
Expectations among
blockchain participants that the value of blockchain assets will
soon change; and
●
A decrease in the
price of blockchain assets that may have a material adverse effect
on the company’s financial condition and operating
results.
If
someone gains access to a member’s login credentials to an
iConsumer account, the account holder may lose the value of their
account.
If someone gains
access to or learns of a member’s login credentials or
private keys, that person may be able to dispose of the
member’s account and the member’s Bitcoin or
REWARDScoin, and they may lose the entirety of their
holdings.
Most holders of cryptocurrencies can only gain
access to them by use of a private key. The loss of access to
private keys may result in the permanent loss of access to an
account and the value of the cyptocurrencies
therein.
Bitcoin and
cryptocurrencies are stored in a digital wallet on the blockchain
and are controllable only by the individual who controls the
private key. If the private key is lost or destroyed an investor
may be unable to access the cryptocurrency held in the digital
wallet, which may result in permanent loss of funds. In addition,
if the private key becomes known to a third party, it may result in
misappropriation and therefore permanent loss of funds. Internet
errors related to cyber malfunction of the wallet where the
cryptocurrency is held could also result in loss of the
cryptocurrency.
While
securities accounts at U.S. brokerage firms are often insured by
the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) and bank
accounts at U.S. banks are often insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC), cryptocurrencies or tokens held in a
digital wallet currently do not have similar
protections.
Unlike bank
accounts, credit unions or accounts at other financial institutions
that provide certain safety guarantees, such as insurance, to
depositors, coins and tokens held in digital wallets on a
blockchain are currently uninsured. In the event of loss or loss of
utility value there is no public insurer or private insurance to
offer recourse to the injured holder.
Risks associated with blockchain technology and
smart contract protocol.
The company may
launch REWARDScoin tokens, which will rely on blockchain technology
and smart contract protocol. As such, any malfunction, unintended
function, unexpected functioning of or attack on blockchain
technology and/or the smart contract protocol that the company may
choose to employ or the Bitcoin protocol may cause the REWARDScoin
to malfunction or function in an unexpected or unintended
manner
Risk of adverse tax
consequences.
Significant aspects
of the tax treatment of digital tokens have not yet been addressed,
both for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under the tax laws of
non-U.S. jurisdictions, and jurisdictions could impose onerous tax
burdens on the purchasers and holders of digital tokens. Such
onerous tax burdens could subject purchasers and holders of
REWARDScoins to adverse tax consequences and could decrease demand
for and impede, limit or end the development of REWARDScoin and its
acceptance by retailers and service providers.
The
token markets are subject to market manipulations and schemes that
may decrease the value of the REWARDScoins.
There is a risk of
market manipulation, such as the spreading of false and misleading
information about a company to affect its token price. Rumors about
the company and REWARDcoins may be spread in a variety of ways,
including on websites, press releases, email spam, posts on social
media, online bulletin boards, and chat rooms. The false or
misleading rumors may be negative, and could result in a decrease
in the value of the tokens.
If
there are unanticipated risks that we cannot manage, there may be
an adverse impact on the value of our tokens and our
business.
Agreements for the
sale of cryptographic tokens are a new and untested area. In
addition to the risks discussed, there are risks that the company
cannot anticipate. Further risks may materialize as unanticipated
combinations or variations of the discussed risks or the emergence
of new risks. We may be unable to manage these risks that may
adversely impact the value of REWARDScoins and our
business.
DILUTION
Dilution means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the
shares the investor owns.
Immediate dilution
An early-stage company typically sells its shares (or grants
options over its shares) to its founders and early employees at a
very low cash cost, because they are, in effect, putting their
“sweat equity” into the company. When the company seeks
cash investments from outside investors, like you, the new
investors typically pay a much larger sum for their shares than the
founders or earlier investors, which means that the cash value of
your stake is diluted because each share of the same type is worth
the same amount, and you paid more for your shares than earlier
investors did for theirs.
The following table compares the price that new
investors are paying for their shares with the effective cash price
paid by existing shareholders. Investors in this offering will pay
$.15 per share. The table reflects all transactions since inception
(including the Recapitalization and Exchange effected in July 2015
and discussed in more detail in “The Company’s
Business”), establishing a net tangible book value deficit of
$(391,161)
or $(0.0019) per share as of June 30, 2017. Net
tangible book value is calculated as tangible assets less tangible
liabilities. This method gives investors a better picture of what
they will pay for their investment compared to the company’s
insiders and earlier investors than just including such
transactions for the last 12 months, which is what the Commission
requires. The table then gives effect to the sale of shares at: A)
the minimum number of shares issued, B) the mid-range number of
shares issued, C) the maximum number of shares
issued.

The table reflects past issuances to customers on a no-fee basis
under the prior offering. It does not reflect future issuances to
customers on a no-fee basis. Any no-fee issuances to customers will
further dilute investors in this
offering.
Future dilution
Another important way of looking at dilution is the dilution that
happens due to future actions by the company. The investor’s
stake in a company could be diluted due to the company issuing
additional shares, whether as part of a capital-raising event, or
issued as compensation to the company’s members, employees,
or marketing partners. In other words, when the company issues more
shares, the percentage of the company that you own will go down,
even though the value of the company may go up. You will own a
smaller piece of a larger company. This increase in number of
shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as a
public offering, another crowd funding round, a venture capital
round, angel investment), employees exercising stock options,
compensation to members, or by conversion of certain instruments
(e.g. convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into
stock.
If the company decides to issue more shares, an investor could
experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than
before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor
owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution,
with a reduction in the amount earned per share.
The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors most occurs
when the company sells more shares in a “down round,”
meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier
offerings.
An example of how this might occur is as follows (numbers are for
illustrative purposes only):
|
●
|
In June
2018 Jane invests $20,000 for shares that represent 2% of a company
valued at $1 million.
|
|
●
|
In
December the company is doing very well and sells $5 million in
shares to venture capitalists on a valuation (before the new
investment) of $10 million. Jane now owns only 1.3% of the company
but her stake (at least on paper) is worth $200,000.
|
|
●
|
In June
2019 the company has run into serious problems and in order to stay
afloat it raises $1 million at a valuation of only $2 million (the
“down round”). Jane now owns only 0.89% of the company
and her stake is worth only $26,660.
|
If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain
percentage of the company or expecting each share to hold a certain
amount of value, it’s important to realize how the value of
those shares can decrease by actions taken by the company. Dilution
can make drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership
percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Plan of Distribution
The Offering Statement filed with the Commission covers the offer
and sale of preferred shares to:
|
●
|
New
investors in the company who will pay cash for their investments;
and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Members
of the company (shoppers who use the company’s website) who
will be awarded preferred shares in reward for using
iConsumer’s services and to encourage them to shop more
through iConsumer and urge their friends to do the same. Members
will earn shares of the company based on the amount of shopping
rebates they earn. Members may also earn shares as incentive for
other activities, including, but not limited to, signing up to
become a member. The issuance of shares to members in exchange for
their activities is a “sale” of shares under securities
law, and thus must be registered with the Commission or made in
reliance on an exemption from registration, such as Regulation A.
This Offering Circular therefore covers the issuance of 75,000,000
preferred shares to members. The company will not receive cash from
the issuance to members; the cash accounted for in “Use of
Proceeds” will come from new investors. As of June 30, 2017
the company had transferred 3,654,132 shares to the transfer agent
to reflect the earnings of 2,454 members.
|
TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR RECIPIENT (INCLUDING FEDERAL, LOCAL AND
FOREIGN INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES) WITH RESPECT TO THE ISSUANCE OF
SHARES TO MEMBERS ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INVESTOR.
INVESTORS MUST CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN PERSONAL ACCOUNTANT(S) AND/OR
TAX ADVISOR(S) REGARDING THESE MATTERS.
The cash price per share of Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock is
$0.15, which may be paid in cash, Bitcoin, Ether, or other
cryptocurrency at the company's discretion.
The minimum investment in cash is $25.The
minimum investment made via a cryptocurrency is
$1,000.
The company intends to market the shares in this offering both
through online and offline means. Online marketing may take the
form of contacting potential investors through social media and
posting the company’s Offering Circular or “testing the
waters” materials on an online investment
platform.
The company may also utilize other online investment platforms,
which may have different financial arrangements and
costs.
The company is initially offering its securities in all states
other than Texas, Florida, Arizona, Nebraska, New Jersey,
Washington and North Dakota. The company may choose to make the
appropriate filings to become an “issuer-dealer” in
these states, or to register company officers as agents, in which
case it will start to sell in those states. In the event the
company makes arrangements with a broker-dealer to sell into these
states, it will file a supplement to this Offering
Circular.
No securities are being sold for the account of security holders;
all net proceeds of this offering will go to the
company.
Investors’ Tender of Funds After the Offering Statement has been qualified by
the Commission, the company will accept tenders of funds to
purchase the preferred shares. The company may close on investments
on a “rolling” or “continuous” basis (so
not all investors will receive their shares on the same date). The
funds tendered by potential investors will be held by the Escrow
Agent, and will be transferred to the company upon Closing. Each
time the company accepts funds (either transferred from the Escrow
Agent or directly from the investors) is defined as a
“Closing”. The escrow agreement can be found in Exhibit
8 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a
part.
In the event that it takes some time for the company to raise funds
in this offering, the company will rely on income from sales. It
has only a limited amount of cash on hand, but the License
Agreement with OSS provides that OSS will be responsible for much
of the company’s operations as set out in “Interests of
Management and Others in Certain Transactions.”
Processing of Subscriptions
You will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order
to invest. The subscription agreement includes a representation by
the investor to the effect that, if you are not an
“accredited investor” as defined under securities law,
you are investing an amount that does not exceed the greater of 10%
of your annual income or 10% of your net worth (excluding your
principal residence).
The company has previously paid Fund America, Inc., a technology
and escrow service provider, an escrow fee of $500. Additionally,
the company will pay Fund America $7.50 per transaction processed
for investments over $250. Direct Transfer, LLC, an affiliate of
Issuer Direct Corp., serves as transfer agent to maintain
stockholder information on a book-entry basis and will charge $2.50
for a new cash shareholder who invests less than $1,000, $5.00 for
new cash shareholder who invest $1,000 or more, and $1.50 for each
new no-fee shareholder. If each investor were to invest a
subscription amount of $200.00 for the Offering per investor, the
company estimates the maximum fee that could be due to Fund America
and Issuer Direct Corp. for the aforementioned services would be
$125,000 if it achieved the maximum offering proceeds.
The company may also engage additional broker-dealers or processing
agents to perform administrative functions, who may have different
financial arrangements and costs.
The Incentive Program
Consumers are incented to utilize the services of iConsumer to earn
rebates and save money via coupons and “deals” whenever
they shop at participating retailers. The retailers pay iConsumer
for this service, and iConsumer shares those payments with its
customers.
The incentive is delivered in two ways. Consumers receive a portion
in Bitcoin, and a portion in the equity of iConsumer.
The company will only issue shares to members after the
offering statement is qualified by the Commission and upon each
member's execution of a subscription agreement. The rebate
percentage (typically the rebate is a percentage of the purchase
amount) is displayed to the consumer on iConsumer’s site, in
its apps, or as a banner on the retailer’s site prior to the
consumer’s making a purchase.
The rebate percentage varies from retailer to retailer, and is set
by iConsumer. iConsumer may vary the rebate percentage
frequently.
The rebates that are to be delivered as equity are
calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. The fair market
value of the equity is used in this instance. iConsumer may vary
the number of shares earned per purchase at its sole
discretion, subject (where
appropriate) to re-qualification of the applicable offering
statement by the Commission.
The consumer thus knows prior to purchase what the rebate will be
for making that purchase.
An example from a retailer’s site.
The consumer is able to see a ledger recapping purchase amounts,
Bitcoin rebate, and stock earned amounts.
Examples of both of these incentives after qualification of
the Offering Statement are as follows:
Jody learns about iConsumer from her friend George. When Jody
becomes an iConsumer member, iConsumer awards her 100 shares of
equity. When she makes her first purchase from a participating
retailer (in any amount), iConsumer rewards George with 100 shares
of iConsumer equity.
Jody makes a $100 purchase at jet.com via iConsumer because she
knows she’ll accrue $2 in Bitcoin and 22.22
iConsumer shares.
After approximately 90 days have passed (to allow for
returns), Jody may instruct iConsumer to transfer her Bitcoin to a
cryptocurrency wallet or exchange account. Upon her request,
her accrued shares will be issued and transferred to the transfer
agent’s books.
Upon George’s request, his accrued shares will be
issued.
On December 29, 2016, iConsumer issued and transferred shares to
over 1,600 new shareholders due to their shopping and referral
activity.
In April 2017, iConsumer issued and transferred 1,199,428 shares to
1,640 shareholders due to their shopping and referral
activity.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Assuming the Maximum Offering amount is raised, the net proceeds of
this offering to the issuer, after expenses of the offering
(payment to Fund America, Issuer Direct Corp. LLC, professional
fees and other expenses) will be approximately $14,850,000. All
cash proceeds will be derived from the sale of preferred shares to
new investors as opposed to the issuance of preferred shares to
members.
If iConsumer receives the maximum proceeds under this offer, it
plans to use these proceeds as follows:
|
●
|
Marketing
expenses (primarily new member acquisition) in the amount of
approximately $10,000,000. Research, development,
regulatory approval, and marketing of blockchain-based tokens in
the amount of approximately $3,000,000.
|
|
|
|
Approximately $1,850,000, or 12.5% of the net proceeds assuming the
maximum amount offered is raised, has not been allocated for any
particular purpose.
Because the offering is a “best efforts” offering,
iConsumer may close the offering without sufficient funds for all
the intended purposes set out above. In that event it will
“bootstrap” its expenses and only spend funds on
marketing when it has cash to do so.
The company reserves the right to change the above use of proceeds
if management believes it is in the best interests of the
company.
THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS
Overview
The company was founded in 2010 and began operations in 2015. Since
founding, it has not undergone any reorganization or acquisitions.
Prior to beginning its online shopping operations it acted as a
marketing agent for iGive.com, an affiliated company, attracting
online traffic and directing it to iGive.com. In July 2015, it
executed a recapitalization and exchange with its sole stockholder,
Robert Grosshandler, exchanging the existing outstanding Class A
Common Stock, all of which was held by Mr. Grosshandler, for newly
reclassified Common Stock and Preferred Stock. In January 2016, it
began testing of a series of new offers and promotions. For the six
months ended June 30, 2017, it generated revenues of $211,266, and
incurred a loss of $589,132.
In September 2016, the company began an offering under Regulation A
of the Securities Act of 1933. As of May 11, 2017 the
company closed the offering after raising
$147,525. 2,454 members had earned and been issued
3,654,132 shares of no-fee stock under that offering.
In September 2017, the company launched a private placement to
accredited investors utilizing Rule 506(c) of Regulation D. As of
November 27, 2017, the Company raised $148,500 in this offering.
See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and
Capital Resources.”
On December
23, 2017, the company transitioned from providing rebates in the
form of cash back to providing rebates in the form of
Bitcoin.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had 12,804
members.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had 38,612 members.
As of November 27, 2017 the Company had 49,094
members.
Principal Products and Services
The company is an online shopping (Bitcoin-based
rebates, equity rebates, and coupon shopping) company that makes
money by driving consumers to retailers so that they can take
advantage of coupons, equity back rebates, and Bitcoin
back rebate offers for products and services displayed on its site
and by the retailers. The company is paid by participating
merchants when iConsumer members click on those offers and when
iConsumer members reach participating merchants’ sites via
iConsumer, and make purchases there. The company shares those
payments with members in the form of Bitcoin and stock
rebates.
The company launched its online shopping services to the general
public on June 19, 2015.
Market
The company’s target market encompasses all online shoppers,
with the initial target being those shoppers located
in the United States. The company’s direct competitors
estimate that they have nearly 100 million global users, and those
shoppers located in the United States are the initial target of the
company’s marketing efforts.The transition to Bitcoin
enabled the company to begin targeting shoppers outside of the
United States.
The company uses social media, PR, display and other forms of paid
and unpaid advertising to attract new members to its site. The
marketing strategy includes “influencers” such as
bloggers, writers, and other outlets reachable through social media
and public relations. Having established this beachhead, the
company continues to use various forms of paid and unpaid
advertising, plus it uses its own members to spread the word about
the advantages of the company’s offering.
A further source of potential customers is the people who have
expressed interest in the company’s offering of shares
through this Offering.
Competition
The company’s U.S. based competitors include eBates,
Shopathome, RetailMeNot, MyPoints, CouponCabin, Brads Deals,
swagbucks, Groupon, and Mainstreetshares. iConsumer offers the same
ability to save money while shopping by offering rebates but
differentiates itself by additionally offering its members the
ability to “earn” ownership in the company through the
acquisition of shares and to earn Bitcoin. This
further incentivizes members to prefer iConsumer’s offering

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The company is in an early stage of development. Operations
prior to January 2016 produced minimal revenues.
The
company earns revenues through offering advertising on its website,
its member-focused emails, alerts and notifications in its apps,
and primarily through agreements with vendors for web traffic and
sales referred through the iConsumer.com website and apps. The
company recognizes revenue only when the price is fixed or
determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the
services have been provided, and collectability is assured.
Revenues from advertising were negligible in 2016.
Beginning
in June 2015, the company began to earn commission revenue by
directing customers to participating retailers. Measurable revenue
from operations began in January 2016. The company’s revenues
varied significantly each month during 2016 as it refined its
marketing and promotional offers.
In August 2016, the company engaged a full-service marketing agency
to prepare a launch of the brand in anticipation of qualification
of the offering statement for its initial
Regulation A offering before the start of the Christmas holiday
shopping season. Deliverables from this engagement included new
branding, site redesign, and marketing collateral.
Starting in the third quarter of 2016 and continuing throughout
2017, the company launched improved generations of its mobile apps
for Apple IOS and Android. It also launched updated versions of the
iConsumer Button for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer,
and Microsoft Edge. Regular releases of the apps and the
Button have occurred since that time. These technologies are
provided under the License Agreement with OSS, outlined more fully
below.
In September 2016, the company’s Regulation A offering,
described below under “Liquidity and Capital
Resources,” was qualified by the Commission. It began issuing
and transferring shares of its Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock
to its customers and selling equity for cash.
During the first quarter of 2017, the company increased the
offering price of the Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock to $.09
per share. The company officially announced that it was leaving its
“beta testing” phase in February, and commenced full
operating mode. The company began advertising heavily to build its
membership base, and its base of potential cash
investors.
During the second quarter of 2017, the company continued to
advertise heavily. By the end of the period, the company had grown
from approximately 13,000 members at the beginning of February
2017, to over 40,000 members.
The company successfully closed the Regulation A offering in May
2017 in order to commence the process of applying for quotation of
its Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock on the OTCQB market. At the
time of the closing, the company had approximately 2,600
shareholders, and had raised approximately $148,500
from cash investors.
The company launched an offering of convertible debt under Rule
506(c) of Regulation D in September 2017. As of November 27, 2017,
the company had raised $148,500 in that offering. See
“—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
The company completed its testing of widely varying member
incentives in January 2017. As a result, gross income went down,
and gross margin increased. The primary factors affecting gross
income (revenue) are the number of users of the company’s
services (members), the amount each member spends, and the
commission rates paid by participating retailers. By adjusting the
percentage of the gross income and/or equity shared with the member
in the form of rebates, the company can affect the amount of gross
income earned. Generally, the higher the share, the more likely a
member will make a transaction that generates revenue.
On December 23,
2017, the company transitioned from providing rebates in the form
of cash to providing rebates in the form of Bitcoin. This
transition introduces potential cash flow issues, as the company
seeks to reduce the speculative risk (similar to foreign currency
risk) associated with Bitcoin by acquiring sufficient Bitcoin (or
hedging the risk in the futures markets) at the time it's earned by
a member as a result of a purchase. Should the company's cash
reserves be insufficient to acquire or hedge its Bitcoin
requirements, the company is exposed to substantial speculative
risk.
In order to support
quotation on the OTCQB market, on January 12, 2018 the company
amended the liquidation preference for the Series A Non Voting
Preferred Stock by consent of a majority of the holders of the
Common and Series A Non Voting Preferred Stock. The amendment
reaffirmed that shareholders of record as of January 12, 2018 had a
liquidation preference equal to the Original Issue Price of their
shares and that subsequent holders of the stock will not have a
liquidation preference.
Additionally, the
amended language eliminated the liquidation preference for
shareholders who acquire their shares subsequent to January 12,
2018.
Gross
margin is gross income less the direct costs of that income (i.e.
rebates). Rebates have cash and non-cash components. The non-cash
component reflects the estimated fair value of the preferred stock
to be transferred to the member as the earned rebate. The company
focuses on the cash component of its gross margin as the best
indicator of results.
The
amount spent on marketing is likely to be larger in relation to the
number of members in the earlier days of operations, decreasing as
the number of members grows.
The provisions of the License Agreement with OSS significantly
affect the company’s financial results. As described in
“Interest of Management and Others in Certain
Transactions,” the company pays 20% of its gross revenues to
OSS for the license of the software on which its operations rely
and other support services, or 5% of its gross revenues if it uses
the software and not other services from OSS. In the event the
company decides to provide for itself the support services provided
by OSS, the company’s gross margins and profitability are
likely to change, and the current results of operations may
not be indicitive of what they would be if the Company provided for
its own support services.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to Year Ended December 31,
2015
Revenues
for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $480,216, an increase
from revenues of $1,177 in 2015, reflecting the commencement of
operations in early 2016. Revenues were primarily composed of
commissions from merchants.
The
company’s cost of revenues consists of the
rebates (cash and stock) earned by its members for making the
purchases that generated those revenues. For 2016, those costs
amounted to $620,470, compared to $937 in 2015.
Gross
profit (loss) for 2016 was ($140,254). Gross profit for 2015 was
$239.
Operating
expenses increased to $540,892 for 2016, from $54,643 in 2015. The
primary components of operating expenses were as
follows:
●
Marketing expense
increased to $412,371 from $937, reflecting the company’s
launch of operations. The company prepares and launches marketing
campaigns that utilize paid media (e.g. Facebook, Google Adwords,
and other sites). It incents third parties to promote iConsumer
utilizing cash and stock. It incents members to join iConsumer
using cash and stock. It further incents members to recruit members
utilizing cash and stock. Marketing expense did not include
expenses related to the company’s offering under Regulation
A. Expenses related to the offering, were charged against
shareholder’s equity, in accordance with appropriate
GAAP and Commission rules. Of the $412,371 in
marketing expense, $135,895 was in the form of preferred stock, a
non-cash item. The stock was valued at $0.045 per share, the price
paid by third party purchasers in the portion of this offering that
was closed in December 2016.
●
Fees to OSS were
$95,835 in 2016, an increase from fees of $235 in 2015. This
affiliated company provides most of the services needed to operate
iConsumer. Most specifically, the overheads of creating
member-oriented marketing campaigns and the overhead of managing
the network of 1,800 retailers are borne by OSS. Additionally, all
of the costs of developing and operating the technology are the
responsibility of OSS. In accordance with the agreement with OSS,
the expense is calculated as 20% of gross revenues. If iConsumer
was not using OSS to provide these services, the results of its
operations might be significantly different.
●
Legal fees for 2016
were $18,059, compared to $51,607 in 2015.
●
Accounting fees
increased to $6,500 in 2016 from $1,800 in 2015.
As a
result of the foregoing factors, the company recorded a net loss of
$681,147 in 2016 compared to a net loss of $54,403 in
2015.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared to Six Months Ended June
30, 2016
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $211,266, a
decrease from revenues of $328,478 in the same period in 2016,
reflecting the effects of reducing the cash back incentive.
Revenues were primarily composed of commissions from
merchants.
The company’s cost of revenues for the first six
months of 2017 amounted to $348,324, compared to
$660,375 in the first six months of 2016. In 2016, a
portion of the rebates provided to members was classified as a
marketing expense, as the company was experimenting with different
ratios and amounts. Of the $343,231 in marketing
expense, $241,849 was in the form of preferred stock,
a non-cash item. The stock was valued at $0.045 per share for stock
earned through February 11, 2017, and $.09 per share thereafter.
The value reflects the price paid by third party purchasers in the
Regulation A offering that closed in May 2017.
Operating expenses increased to $452,075 for the first
six months of 2017, from $102,369 in the same period
in 2016. The primary components of operating expenses were as
follows:
●
Marketing
expense increased to $343,231 from
$27,444, reflecting the company’s increased
operations. The member stock awards – a non-cash item
(primarily rebates, but also rewards for joining and referring
other shoppers) increased to $241,849 from
$9,311. The Advertising and Promotion expense
increased to $101,383 from $18,133. Marketing expense did not
include expenses related to the company’s offering under
Regulation A. Expenses related to the offering were charged against
shareholder’s equity, in accordance with appropriate
GAAP and Commission rules.
●
Fees
to OSS were $42,141 in the first six months of 2017, a decrease
from fees of $65,696 in 2016. This reflected the reduction in gross
income.
●
Legal
fees through June 30, 2017 were $25,247, compared to $7,697 in the
first six months of 2016.
●
Accounting
fees were $22,500 in the first six months of 2017. The company did
not incur any accounting fees in the first six months of
2016.
As a result of the foregoing factors, the company recorded a net
loss of $589,132 in the first six months of 2017 compared to a net
loss of $434,266 in the first six months of 2016.
The company does not expect to incur expenses to promote this
offering. Its fundamental purpose is to facilitate the issuance of
stock earned by members. If the company does incur expenses to
promote this offering, they will be charged against
shareholders’ equity, in accordance with appropriate FASB and
Commission rules, as outlined in the accompanying Statement of
Operations. The prior offering’s expenses were charged
against shareholders’ equity.
The company began investing heavily in marketing to support new
member acquisition. As a result, new members are joining at an
increasing rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this Offering Circular, iConsumer has a low level
of liquid assets. The company is completely dependent on the
proceeds from its earlier Regulation A offering, a current
Regulation D private placement of convertible debt, this offering and support from affiliated
companies to execute its plan of operations. In September
2016, the company commenced an offering under Regulation A
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”). It offered up to $2,000,000 of its
Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock at a price of $.045 per share,
subsequently increased to $.09 per share. During the first six
months of 2017, the company received $20,122 in cash from the sale
of its preferred securities in the Regulation A offering. The
offering was closed in May 2017. In September 2017, the company
commenced a private placement under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act of up to $2,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of 8% Convertible Promissory Notes due 2020,
convertible into shares of its Series A Non-Voting Preferred
Stock, at the holder’s option,
at a price of $.075 per share. As of November 27, 2017 the
Company had raised $148,500 under this offering. The company has no debt, other than the
Convertible Promissory Notes, outside of its obligations to remit
earned cash back to members when due, and no obligations to make
any capital expenditures. The company has no bank lines or other
financing arranged.
Trend Information
The
company is reliant on the economic trends affecting online shopping
in the United States. Once the company targets non-U.S. markets,
the growth of online shopping in those markets will be important.
The migration of retail shopping from physical locations to the
internet continues, and is expected to continue into the
foreseeable future. The company believes that this trend is
positively affecting its growth.
Amazon
continues to enjoy a significant share of that online retail
growth. The company has a relationship with Amazon, but the
revenues from that relationship are negligible. Should the company
succeed in increasing the share of its revenues from Amazon, the
company would have increased customer concentration
risk.
U.S.
retailers that rely primarily on physical locations are under
significant economic pressure. Many of them are going through or
will go through bankruptcy proceedings. The company has
relationships with some of those retailers. The company will be
negatively affected to a greater or lesser degree by retailer
defaults. Mitigating that trend is the fact that their customers
are migrating to companies with which the company already does
business.
The
credit risk associated with retailer bankruptcies is mitigated in
two ways. First, the company’s service providers monitor
those risks, and seek deposits and advance payments from retailers
they deem risky. Second, the company does not owe rebates to its
members unless the revenues those rebates are calculated upon are
received.
The
company utilizes online advertising to attract new members. Online
advertising continues to grow as a percentage of the advertising
market. The cost of the company’s advertising is subject to
change, both up and down, depending on the state of the advertising
market.
Consumers’
internet use, and especially mobile internet use, continues to
grow. The company believes this increase can result in more member
growth. Navigating the transition from desktop to mobile internet
use presents challenges for the company. The company utilizes
technology partners that continue to invest heavily in platforms
that are intended to make the company’s offerings attractive
to existing members and prospective members who use the internet
from mobile devices.
The
cost and difficulty of hiring or retaining qualified employees
continues to increase. While the company does not have any direct
employees, it is dependent on its service partners’ abilities
to attract and retain employees. The company believes that its
ability to operate virtually will help to mitigate the increased
employee challenge.
The
company’s ability to raise money is affected by the stock
market, and in particular, the acceptance of companies using
Regulation A as amended under the 2012 JOBS Act. Anecdotally, there
is an increasing acceptance of Regulation A offerings. The company
has found the Commission to be increasingly familiar with the
changes brought about by this legislation. The increased activity
may also affect FINRA’s ability to respond in a timely
fashion to Regulation A related filings.
The
alternative markets (e.g. OTC) continue to revise their standards
for quotation. Those revisions may make it harder or more expensive
for the company to obtain or maintain a market for its
securities.
The
competition has begun to utilize alternative advertising
mechanisms. Last holiday shopping season, Retailmenot (whose
acquisition was announced in the first quarter of 2017) advertised
in retail malls. eBates appeared to utilize TV advertising to a
greater extent than observed in prior years.
The
adoption of new mobile wireless technologies such as 4G and soon,
5G, continue to make mobile usage of the company’s offerings
more likely.
Alternative blockchain based competitors are beginning to appear in
non-U.S. markets. The company expects blockchain-based competitors
to enter the U.S. market at some point.
DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND SIGNIFICANT
EMPLOYEES
The company’s officers and directors are as follows. All are
occupied at least 3/4 time on the company’s business, but are
employed by an affiliate of the company as described in “The
Company’s Business – Employees.” The company does
not currently employ any “significant employees” as
defined by the Commission.

Corp.
Evanston,
Illinois
Report on the Financial Statements
We have
audited the accompanying financial statements of iConsumer Corp.,
which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015
and the related statements of operations, changes in
stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years
then ended, and the related notes to the financial
statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial
Statements
Management
is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States; this includes the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are
free for material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free from material misstatement.
An
audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about
the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the
auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risk of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the
auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the entity’s internal
control. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of iConsumer
Corp., as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the years then ended in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.
Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As
discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has
not generated significant revenues or profits since inception, and
has sustained net losses of $681,147 and $54,403 for the years
ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Those
conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern. Management’s plans regarding
those matters are also described in Note 4. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion
is not modified with respect to that matter.
Other Matter
As
described in Note 11, the Company has reclassified its member
preferred stock back distributable liability to paid in capital in
excess of par toproperly
reflect equity accounting for such
transactions.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Years Ended December 31, 2016 and
2015
NOTE
1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS
iConsumer Corp.
(the “Company”), is a corporation organized December
16, 2010 under the laws of Delaware. The Company
was formed to provide money saving services to consumers through a
website that is designed to be searchable and discoverable by
Google. On June 19, 2015 it began “test the
waters” operations to determine product and service viability
for a new service aimed at providing consumers cash back rebates
based upon their shopping at participating retailers. As
of December 31, 2015, it had not generated significant
revenue.
Measurable revenue
from operations began in January 2016. The company’s revenues
varied significantly each month during 2016 as it refined its
marketing and promotional offers. In the years preceding the
commencement of its principal operations, the Company actively
provided the service of directing web traffic to iGive.com,
primarily aimed at Google and other search engines.
Through June
19th,
2015, the Company’s activities consisted of formation
activities and preparations to raise additional capital as
described in Note 6. These activities continued through
2015. In 2016, the Company’s Regulation A offering was
qualified by the SEC, and the Company became fully
operational. The Company is dependent upon additional
capital resources for the continuation of its planned principal
operations and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties;
including failing to secure additional funding to fully
operationalize the Company’s planned operations.
NOTE
2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of
Presentation
The accounting and
reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and
Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The Company adopted
the calendar year as its basis of reporting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents
can include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly
liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or
less.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable
are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Accounts
receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on
past credit history with clients and other factors. Provisions for
losses on accounts receivable are determined on the basis of loss
experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance and
current economic conditions. There are no accounts
receivable or associated allowances for doubtful accounts
established as of December 31, 2016 or 2015.
Property and
Equipment
The Company has a
policy to capitalize expenditures with useful lives in excess of
one year and costs exceeding $1,000. No property or
equipment has been recorded as of December 31, 2016 or
2015.
Concentrations of Credit
Risks
The Company’s
financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit
risk consist of its cash. The Company will place its cash and cash
equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness
and has a policy to not carry a balance in excess of FDIC insurance
limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the
financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it
extends funds or with whom it has deposits, and as such, it
believes that any associated credit risk exposures are
limited.
Revenue
Recognition
The Company earns
revenues through commissions, royalties, and advertising on its
website and intends to earn revenues through agreements with
vendors for web traffic and sales referred through the
iConsumer.com website. The Company recognizes revenue in
accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue
Recognition, only when the price is fixed or
determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the
services have been provided, and collectability is
assured. Insignificant revenues have been earned or
recognized for the year ended December 31, 2015. Significant
revenues have been recognized beginning in the year ended December
31, 2016.
Cost of
Revenue
For 2016, the
Company’s targeted cash and stock back (cost of
revenue) was 80% of revenue. As part of its marketing
efforts, the Company frequently varied from that
target. The difference from that target is recorded as a
marketing expense.
Offering Costs
The Company
complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A - "Expenses of Offering"
with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an
offering, offering costs were capitalized as deferred offering
costs on the balance sheet. The deferred offering costs are charged
to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the
offering. The Company anticipates significant offering
costs in connection with the Offering discussed in Note
6.
Income Taxes
The Company
accounts for income taxes with the recognition of estimated income
taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current
period and for the estimated future tax effect attributable to
temporary differences and carryforwards. Measurement of
deferred income items is based on enacted tax laws including tax
rates which are expected to be effective when the benefits from the
deferred tax assets are realized. At December 31, 2016, and
December 31, 2015, the Company had deferred tax assets of
approximately $300,000 and $25,000 respectively, related to net
operating loss carryforwards (NOL). Due to the
uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to generate
sufficient taxable income in the future and utilize the NOL’s
before they expire, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance
to reduce the net deferred tax asset to zero. The
effective tax rate is different from the expected federal tax rate
due to the valuation allowance and state income taxes.
The Company reviews
tax positions taken to determine if it is more likely than not that
the position would be sustained upon examination resulting in an
uncertain tax position. The Company did not have any material
unrecognized tax benefit as of December 31, 2016 or 2015. The
Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended
December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company recognized no interest or
penalties.
The Company is
required to file U.S. federal tax returns. The U.S.
federal tax returns were not filed for the Company for the years
2010-2014, in violation of IRS regulations and federal
statutes. The Company filed the returns for each year
2010-2014 during July 2015. The Company also filed its return for
2015. As each year incurred a net operating loss, no
taxes were due when the returns were filed. However,
$100 late filing penalties were assessed and paid for each year,
other than 2015. The Company believes it is in
compliance after filing these returns. All tax periods
since inception remain open to examination by the taxing
jurisdictions to which the Company is subject. The
Company has filed for an extension to file U.S. federal tax returns
for the year 2016.
Reliance on Related
Party
The Company
currently has a software license and service agreement with a
related party (see Note 5) and has the majority of its expenses
paid by the related party under the terms of that agreement. As a
result, the Company’s results of operations may not be
indicative of the results that would have occurred if it operated
independently.
NOTE
3: STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
The Articles of
Incorporation were Amended and Restated effective July 6,
2015. Among the revised provisions, the Company
authorized 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per
share and reclassified "Class A Common Stock" to "Common Stock";
authorized 300,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001
per share and reclassified "Class B Common Stock" to "Preferred
Stock"; amended the power to authorize the number of authorized
shares to be set by affirmative vote of the holders of at least a
majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares
of Common Stock of the Company. The terms and
preferences of these reclassified shares were revised where Common
Stock, among other provisions, entitles holders to 10 votes for
each share of Common Stock, subordinate dividend rights to
Preferred Stock, and certain liquidation rights.
The Company filed a
Certificate of Designations, Preferences, and Rights of Series A
Non-Voting Preferred Stock of iConsumer Corp. (under Section 151 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law) on July 6, 2015, designating
250,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized under the Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed July 6, 2015 as
Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock"),
par value $0.001. The Series A Preferred Stock was
granted certain rights and preferences
including: dividend preference on declared and unpaid
dividends and liquidation priority for the value paid for the
Preferred Shares. The Series A Preferred Stock holders
are not entitled to vote on any matters placed to a vote of the
stockholders of the Company.
The Company entered
into a recapitalization and exchange agreement effective July 6,
2015 with Robert Grosshandler. This agreement stipulates
the terms of a tax-free reorganization pursuant to Internal Revenue
Code section 368(a), where Robert Grosshandler transfers, assigns,
delivers, and surrenders to the Company his pre-recapitalization
shares and the Company issues post-recapitalization shares, among
other pertinent terms. This exchange retired 1,000,000
Class A Common shares pre-recapitalization and issued 100,000,000
shares of Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of Series A
Non-Voting Preferred Stock, post recapitalization.
NOTE
4: GOING CONCERN
The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company
is a business that commenced principal operations in June, 2015,
and began to generate meaningful revenue in 2016. It has sustained
net losses of $681,147 and $54,403 for the years ended December 31,
2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is
dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from
operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to
accomplish to date, and/or to obtain capital financing from its
majority stockholder and/or third parties, including through the
Offering described in Note 6. It plans to incur
significant costs in pursuit of its Offering. No
assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these
efforts. These factors, among others, raise substantial
doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period of time. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
NOTE
5: RELATED PARTIES
Prior to June 19,
2015, the Company was subject to a three-party oral agreement with
iGive.com Holdings LLC (“iGive”) and Outsourced Site
Services, LLC (“OSS”), both related parties under
common control with shared ownership and management (referred to
herein collectively as the “Related
Parties”). This agreement stipulated that
iConsumer Corp. maintain a website at iConsumer.com that directed
traffic to iGive.com (owned and operated by iGive). It
maintained that website in such a way as to maximize the traffic to
iGive.com. In return, the Related Parties covered all of
the costs of maintaining the iConsumer.com
website. After launch of the full iConsumer website on
June 19, 2015, a site that promotes the iConsumer Corp. planned
business operations, this agreement ceased, and
iConsumer. Corp. became responsible for its own costs,
or entering into a formal agreement with either or both of the
Related Parties or others.
Effective May 1,
2015, the Company entered into a software license and services
agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Outsourced
Site Services, LLC (“OSS”), a related
party. In accordance with the terms of the License
Agreement, the Company’s operations are being run on
technology licensed from OSS and OSS is providing the Company with
certain support services, as defined in the License
Agreement. For the use of these services and technology,
the Company has agreed to pay OSS 20% of its gross revenue, as
defined in the License Agreement. The License Agreement
provides that in the event the company wishes to assume
responsibility for the support services provided by OSS, it can do
so upon at least six months’ notice. In that event, the
company will pay 5% of its gross revenues to OSS. Since
OSS is under the common control of Robert Grosshandler, he will
have the power to determine whether the company will continue to be
able to rely on the OSS license, and the price it pays for the
license. The License Agreement has a term of 20
years. As a result of these agreements the
Company’s results of operations may not be indicative of the
results that would have occurred if it operated
independently.
As of December 31,
2016 the Company owed $102,212 to the Related Parties for expenses
paid on the Company's behalf since inception.
NOTE
6: OFFERING
Subsequent to
December 31, 2015, the Company began pursuing an offering
(“Offering”). The Offering called for the Company
to offer for sale under Regulation A $2,000,000 of its Class A
Non-Voting Preferred Stock at a price of $.045 per share. Sales of
these securities commenced on September 29, 2016, upon
qualification by the SEC. The offering is a continuous
offering. It allows for multiple closings. The
first closing occurred in December, 2016, with net proceeds of
$147,525, representing the investments of 19 individuals. As
of December 31, 2016, the Company had unfunded commitments for
$7,000 which were paid in January 2017. The
Company’s offering was amended on February 13, 2017 to adjust
the subscription agreement, and change the price per share from
$.045 to $.09. The Offering is expected to continue through April
2017. The Company expects to incur costs of approximately
$150,000 related to the Offering if the entire amount is subscribed
to by investors who purchase stock. As of December 31,
2016, the costs incurred were $11,636.
The Company is
required by FINRA rules to close its offering in order to receive
the FINRA approvals necessary to facilitate trading in its
stock. It anticipates closing the offering in April,
2017. As soon thereafter as practical, the Company
expects to submit a new offering to the SEC. This new
offering requires qualification from the SEC in order to become
effective.
There is presently
no secondary market for Company’s stock and therefore the
Company cannot guarantee that its securities will ever be tradeable
on an exchange, a market, or have any other liquidity. These
financial statements should not be relied upon as a basis for
determining the terms of the Offering as this information may not
be current or accurate relative to the final terms of the
Offering.
The Company has
begun the process of having its stock quoted on the OTC QB
market. While there is no guarantee that this will occur, the
Company is targeting a quotation date in the third quarter of
2017.
NOTE
7: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2014, the
FASB issued ASU 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial
Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of
Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a
Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP
about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there
is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as
a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The
amendments in this update provide such guidance. In doing so, the
amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and
content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management
to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern
by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are
currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments
(1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an
evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3)
provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of
management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when
substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of
management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and
other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6)
require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that
the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued).
The amendments in this update are effective for public and
nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15,
2016. Early adoption is permitted. The
Company has not elected to early adopt this
pronouncement.
Management does not
believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting
standards could have a material effect on the accompanying
financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued,
we will adopt those that are applicable under the
circumstances.
NOTE
8: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has
evaluated subsequent events through April 27, 2017 the date the
financial statements were available to be issued. Based
on the evaluation, no additional material events were identified
which require adjustment or disclosure.
NOTE
9: GOVERNANCE
On July 6, 2015 the
Company revised and/or added to the Articles of
Incorporation. The Company also ratified Bylaws
formalizing the governance policies and procedures for the Company
effective July 6, 2015.
On July 6, 2015 by
an Action by Joint Written Consent of Sole Director and Sole
Stockholder, the Company elected Robert Grosshandler to serve as a
member of the Board of Directors and as an Officer of the Company
in the capacity of Chief Executive Officer, President, and
Secretary. It also set the number of directors of the
Company at one, established an Audit Committee of the Company
naming Robert Grosshandler as the sole member of such, set the
fiscal year as the calendar year, and other actions.
NOTE
10: EQUITY REWARD MARKETING PROGRAM - PROSPECTIVE DILUTION AND
OTHER EFFECTS
The Company, in
order to attract members (customers), is offering customers and
others the opportunity to earn equity in the Company as a reward or
additional reward for certain activities. This equity may be
earned in exchange for, amongst other activities, becoming a
customer, recruiting other customers, and utilizing the
Company’s services to earn cash back on purchases at
participating retailers.
Through its
offering (see Note 6), the equity earned is Preferred Class
A. The Company will not receive cash for any such equity
earned. The Company valued this equity at $.045 per share
through February 13, 2017. This valuation is the per share price
($.045) received in the Offering. Subsequent to February
13, 2017, the Company valued this equity as $.09 per
share. This valuation is the per share price ($.09)
received in the amended Offering beginning February 13,
2017. Equity distributed under this program will
be dilutive to existing shareholders. If this marketing
program is successful, the Company anticipates that significant
dilution may result.
There are still
significant hurdles to overcome to make this marketing program
commercially reasonable and enable it to stay compliant with
appropriate regulations, including but not limited to, state Blue
Sky laws.
As of December 31,
2016 the Company has distributed 2,462,942 shares of Preferred
Stock equity under this marketing program to approximately 1,600
customers, who thus became shareholders. The Company
recognizes a portion of the cost of this program as a marketing
expense and the balance as a cost of
revenue. It has recognized a total
of $373,024 as of December 31, 2016 to reflect this
expense.
NOTE 11: MEMBER
PREFERRED STOCK BACK TRANSACTIONS
The Company
originally accounted for preferred stock payable to customers for
becoming a member, purchases made or referring new members, as a
liability. Subsequent to issuance of the financial statements, it
was determined that equity accounting is the appropriate accounting
treatment for these transactions. As a result, all liabilities
related to the preferred stock payable have been reclassified as
equity, and as of December 31, 2016, approximately 8,319,000 shares
have been earned but not issued. There were no changes to the
Company’s statements of operations or cash flows. The
following changes have been made to the balance sheet as of
December 31, 2016:

iConsumer Corp.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six month period ended June 30, 2017
(unaudited)
NOTE
1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS
iConsumer
Corp. (the “Company”), is a corporation organized
December 16, 2010 under the laws of Delaware. The
Company was formed to provide money saving services to consumers
through a website that is designed to be searchable and
discoverable by Google. On June 19, 2015 it began
“test the waters” operations to determine product and
service viability for a new service aimed at providing consumers
cash back rebates based upon their shopping at participating
retailers. As of December 31, 2015, it had not generated
significant revenue.
Measurable
revenue from operations began in January 2016. The company’s
revenues varied significantly each month during 2016 as it refined
its marketing and promotional offers. In the years preceding the
commencement of its principal operations, the Company actively
provided the service of directing web traffic to iGive.com,
primarily aimed at Google and other search engines.
Through
June 19th, 2015, the Company’s activities consisted of
formation activities and preparations to raise additional capital
as described in Note 6. These activities continued
through 2015. In 2016, the Company’s Regulation A offering
was qualified by the SEC, and the Company became fully
operational.
The
Company’s Regulation A offering was re-qualified by the SEC
in February, 2017, reflecting the change of the stock price from
$.045 per share to $.09 per share. The Company closed its offering
in May, 2017 in order to get a ticker symbol and be quoted on a
market.
The
Company is dependent upon additional capital resources for the
continuation of its planned principal operations and is subject to
significant risks and uncertainties; including failing to secure
additional funding to fully operationalize the Company’s
planned operations.
NOTE
2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The
accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC).
The
Company adopted the calendar year as its basis of
reporting.
Reclassification
For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company has
reclassified the preferred stock issued to members for their
purchases from "member stock awards" to "cost of revenue",
totalling $161,225 and $220,223,
respectively.
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain
reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
Cash
equivalents can include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and
all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of
three months or less.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts
Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible
amounts. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for
collectability based on past credit history with clients and other
factors. Provisions for losses on accounts receivable are
determined on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk
in the account balance and current economic
conditions. There are no accounts receivable or
associated allowances for doubtful accounts established as of June
30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.
Property and Equipment
The
Company has a policy to capitalize expenditures with useful lives
in excess of one year and costs exceeding $1,000. No property or
equipment has been recorded as of June
30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.
Concentrations of Credit Risks
The
Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to
concentrations of credit risk consist of its cash. The Company will
place its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of
high credit worthiness and has a policy to not carry a balance in
excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company’s management
plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any
parties to which it extends funds or with whom it has deposits, and
as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are
limited.
Revenue Recognition
The Company earns revenues through commissions, royalties, and
advertising on its website and intends to earn revenues through
agreements with vendors for web traffic and sales referred through
the iConsumer.com website. The Company recognizes revenue in
accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue
Recognition, only when the
price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, the services have been provided, and
collectability is assured. Significant revenues began
being recognized beginning in the year ended December 31, 2016 and
have continued through June 30, 2017.
Cost of Revenue
For
2016, the Company’s targeted cash and stock back (cost of
sales) was 80% of revenue. As part of its marketing efforts, the
Company frequently varied from that target. The difference from
that target was recorded and presented as a marketing expense.
During the first six months of 2017, the Company did not frequently
vary from its target of 80% cash back and 80% stock back and does
not anticipate using that target going forward. The Company
adjusted its recognition of cash rebates retroactively to reflect
100% of cash back awards as cost of revenues.
The Company adjusted its recognition of stock back rebates to
reflect 100% of the value of those rebates earned directly as the
result of a purchase to be Cost of
Revenue.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1
and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A - "Expenses of
Offering" with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion
of an offering, offering costs are capitalized as deferred offering
costs on the balance sheet. The deferred offering costs are charged
to stockholder’s equity upon the completion of the offering.
The Company closed its Offering discussed in Note 6. It anticipates
engaging in another equity offering after it receives FINRA
approval and a stock ticker symbol.
Income Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes with the recognition of estimated
income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the
current period and for the estimated future tax effect attributable
to temporary differences and carryforwards. Measurement
of deferred income items is based on enacted tax laws including tax
rates which are expected to be effective when the benefits from the
deferred tax assets are realized. At December 31, 2016, and
December 31, 2015, the Company had deferred tax assets of
approximately $300,000 and $25,000 respectively, related to net
operating loss carryforwards (NOL). At June 30, 2017 the Company
has not reflected any change in the deferred tax assets from prior
periods. Due to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability
to generate sufficient taxable income in the future and utilize the
NOL’s before they expire, the Company has recorded a
valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax asset to zero.
The effective tax rate is different from the expected federal tax
rate due to the valuation allowance and state income
taxes.
The
Company reviews tax positions taken to determine if it is more
likely than not that the position would be sustained upon
examination resulting in an uncertain tax position. The Company did
not have any material unrecognized tax benefit as of June 30, 2017
or December 31, 2016. The Company recognizes interest accrued and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company
recognized no interest or penalties.
The
Company is required to file U.S. federal tax returns. The U.S.
federal tax returns were not filed for the Company for the years
2010-2014, in violation of IRS regulations and federal statutes.
The Company filed the returns for each year 2010-2014 during July
2015. The Company also filed its return for 2015. As each year
incurred a net operating loss, no taxes were due when the returns
were filed. However, $100 late filing penalties were assessed and
paid for each year, other than 2015. The Company believes it is in
compliance after filing these returns. All tax periods since
inception remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to
which the Company is subject. The Company has filed for an
extension to file U.S. federal tax returns for the year
2016.
Stock Distributable to Members
In
January of 2017 the Company began to estimate and recognize the
difference between the shares earned by and due to members that
likely will be issued and transferred in the current year and
shares earned that will likely be issued and transferred in a
future period. Beginning in June of 2017 the Company clarified to
members that a member may be charged a fee for such issuance and
transfer. As of June 30, 2017, no member has been charged a
fee.
As of
May 11, 2017, the Company has ceased issuing and transferring
shares, because, with the closing of its offering, it does not have
an open, qualified offering statement under which it may offer
shares. The Company is awaiting the issuance of a ticker symbol by
FINRA before it files a new offering statement with the SEC that,
upon SEC qualification, would allow the Company to offer, issue,
and transfer shares.
Reliance on Related Party
The
Company currently has a software license and service agreement with
a related party (see Note 5) and has
the majority of its expenses paid by the related party under the
terms of that agreement. As a result, the Company’s results
of operations may not be indicative of the results that would have
occurred if it operated independently.
Other Matter
As described in
Note 11, the Company has reclassified its member preferred stock
back distributable liability to paid in capital in excess of par to
properly reflect equity accounting for such
transactions.
NOTE 3: STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
As of
the issuance date of these financial statements, 100,000,000 shares
of Common Stock and 107,216,246 shares of Preferred Stock were
issued and outstanding.
The
Articles of Incorporation were Amended and Restated effective July
6, 2015. Among the revised provisions, the Company authorized
150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share and
reclassified "Class A Common Stock" to "Common Stock"; authorized
300,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share
and reclassified "Class B Common Stock" to "Preferred Stock";
amended the power to authorize the number of authorized shares to
be set by affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of
the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company. The terms and preferences of these
reclassified shares were revised where Common Stock, among other
provisions, entitles holders to 10 votes for each share of Common
Stock, subordinate dividend rights to Preferred Stock, and certain
liquidation rights.
The
Company filed a Certificate of Designations, Preferences, and
Rights of Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock of iConsumer Corp.
(under Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) on July
6, 2015, designating 250,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock
authorized under the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation filed July 6, 2015 as Series A Non-Voting Preferred
Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock"), par value $0.001. The Series A
Preferred Stock was granted certain rights and preferences
including: dividend preference on declared and unpaid dividends and
liquidation priority for the value paid for the Preferred Shares.
The Series A Preferred Stock holders are not entitled to vote on
any matters placed to a vote of the stockholders of the
Company.
The
Company entered into a recapitalization and exchange agreement
effective July 6, 2015 with Robert Grosshandler. This agreement
stipulates the terms of a tax-free reorganization pursuant to
Internal Revenue Code section 368(a), where Robert Grosshandler
transfers, assigns, delivers, and surrenders to the Company his
pre-recapitalization shares and the Company issues
post-recapitalization shares, among other pertinent terms. This
exchange retired 1,000,000 Class A Common shares
pre-recapitalization and issued 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock
and 100,000,000 shares of Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock, post
recapitalization.
NOTE 4: GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company is a business that commenced principal operations
in June, 2015, and began to generate meaningful revenue in 2016. It
has sustained net losses of $681,147 and $54,403 for the years
ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. It has sustained an
additional net loss of $593,246 for the six month period ended June
30, 2017. The Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to
generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its
obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date,
and/or to obtain capital financing from its majority stockholder
and/or third parties, including through the Offerings described in
Note 6. It plans to incur significant costs in pursuit of its
Offerings. No assurance can be given that the Company will be
successful in these efforts. These factors, among others, raise
substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a
going concern for a reasonable period of time. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
NOTE 5: RELATED PARTIES
Prior
to June 19, 2015, the Company was subject to a three-party oral
agreement with iGive.com Holdings LLC (“iGive”) and
Outsourced Site Services, LLC (“OSS”), both related
parties under common control with shared ownership and management
(referred to herein collectively as the “Related
Parties”). This agreement stipulated that iConsumer Corp.
maintain a website at iConsumer.com that directed traffic to
iGive.com (owned and operated by iGive). It maintained that website
in such a way as to maximize the traffic to iGive.com. In return,
the Related Parties covered all of the costs of maintaining the
iConsumer.com website. After launch of the full iConsumer website
on June 19, 2015, a site that promotes the iConsumer Corp. planned
business operations, this agreement ceased, and iConsumer. Corp.
became responsible for its own costs, or entering into a formal
agreement with the either or both of the Related Parties or
others.
Effective
May 1, 2015, the Company entered into a software license and
services agreement (the “License Agreement”) with
Outsourced Site Services, LLC (“OSS”), a related party.
In accordance with the terms of the License Agreement, the
Company’s operations are being run on technology licensed
from OSS and OSS is providing the Company with certain support
services, as defined in the License Agreement. For the use of these
services and technology, the Company has agreed to pay OSS 20% of
its gross revenue, as defined in the License Agreement. The License
Agreement provides that in the event the company wishes to assume
responsibility for the support services provided by OSS, it can do
so upon at least six months’ notice. In that event, the
company will pay 5% of its gross revenues to OSS. Since OSS is
under the common control of Robert Grosshandler, he will have the
power to determine whether the company will continue to be able to
rely on the OSS license, and the price it pays for the license. The
License Agreement has a term of 20 years. As a result of these
agreements the Company’s results of operations may not be
indicative of the results that would have occurred if it operated
independently.
As of
June 30, 2017 the Company owed $183,613 to the Related Parties for
expenses paid on the Company's behalf since inception.
NOTE 6: OFFERINGS
Subsequent to December 31, 2015, the Company began pursuing an
offering (“Offering”). The Offering called for
the Company to offer for sale under Regulation A $2,000,000 of
its Series A Non-Voting Preferred Stock at a price of $.045 per
share. Sales of these securities commenced on September 29, 2016,
upon qualification of the Company’s offering statement by the
SEC. The offering was a continuous offering. It allowed for
multiple closings. The first closing occurred in December,
2016, with net proceeds of $147,525, representing the investments
of 19 individuals. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had
unfunded commitments for $7,000 which were paid in January 2017.
The Company’s offering statement was amended, and on February
13, 2017 it was requalified by the SEC, to adjust the subscription
agreement, and change the price per share from $.045 to $.09. The
Offering continued through May 11, 2017. The Company incurred
costs of $15,750.50.
In order to seek quotation of the Series A Non Voting Preferred
stock on the OTC QB market FINRA rules required the Company to
close it offering in order to receive the FINRA approvals necessary
to facilitate quotation in its stock. It closed its offering on May
11, 2017. As soon thereafter as practical (subsequent to FINRA
approvals), the Company intends to file a new offering statement to
the SEC. There is no obligation for the SEC to qualify this
offering statement.
The Company is working with a broker dealer to obtain FINRA
approval, and subsequently, have its stock quoted on the OTC QB
market. There are no requirements on FINRA as to when, or if, its
approval may be forthcoming. The Company is targeting a quotation
date in the fourth quarter of 2017.
There is presently no secondary market for the Company’s
securities and therefore the Company cannot guarantee that its
securities will ever be tradeable on an exchange, a market, or have
any other liquidity. These financial statements should not be
relied upon as a basis for determining the terms of an Offering as
this information may not be current or accurate relative to the
final terms of the offering.
The Company began pursuing a Private Placement of $2,000,0000 of
convertible debt in June, 2017. The company had closed on $135,000
of the private placement as of September 17, 2017. The terms of
this debt have a term of three years, accrued interest for the
first year of 8%, and interest only payments years two and three of
8%. The debt would be convertible at a price of $.075 per share of
the Series A Preferred Non Voting stock. This offering utilizes
Regulation D (560(c), and is open to accredited investors only. The
company anticipates altering the offering to revise the discount on
conversion after September 25, 2017. Further, the company began
exploring in September the potential for a similar offering of debt
securities utilizing Regulation A, to appeal to non-accredited
investors.
NOTE
7: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 on “Presentation
of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) –
Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to
Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance
in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate
whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote
disclosures. The amendments in this update provide such guidance.
In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the
timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require
management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a
going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain
principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards.
Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the
term substantial
doubt, (2) require an
evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3)
provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of
management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when
substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of
management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and
other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6)
require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that
the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued).
The amendments in this update are effective for public and
nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15,
2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not
elected to early adopt this pronouncement.
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting standards could have a material effect on the
accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements
are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the
circumstances.
NOTE
8: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The
Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 7, 2017 the
date the financial statements were available to be issued. Based on
the evaluation, no additional material events were identified which
require adjustment or disclosure.
NOTE 9: GOVERNANCE
On July
6, 2015 the Company revised and/or added to the Articles of
Incorporation. The Company also ratified Bylaws formalizing the
governance policies and procedures for the Company effective July
6, 2015.
On July
6, 2015 by an Action by Joint Written Consent of Sole Director and
Sole Stockholder, the Company elected Robert Grosshandler to serve
as a member of the Board of Directors and as an Officer of the
Company in the capacity of Chief Executive Officer, President, and
Secretary. It also
set the
number of directors of the Company at one, established an Audit
Committee of the Company naming Robert Grosshandler as the sole
member of such, set the fiscal year as the calendar year, and other
actions.
NOTE 10: EQUITY REWARD MARKETING PROGRAM - PROSPECTIVE DILUTION AND
OTHER EFFECTS
The Company, in order to attract members (customers), is offering
customers and others the opportunity to earn equity in the Company
as a reward or additional reward for certain activities. This
equity may be earned in exchange for, amongst other activities,
becoming a customer, recruiting other customers, and utilizing the
Company’s services to earn cash back on purchases at
participating retailers.
Through its offerings (see Note 6), the equity earned is Preferred
Class A. The Company will not receive cash for any such
equity earned. The Company valued this equity at $.045 per
share through February 13, 2017. This valuation is the
per share price ($.045) received in the Offering. Subsequent to
February 13, 2017, the Company valued this equity at $.09 per
share. This valuation is the per share price ($.09) received in the
amended Offering beginning February 13, 2017. The valuation will be
adjusted from time to time to reflect the price in the then current
offering, or if a liquid market exists for the equity, the price at
which the equity trades. Equity
distributed under this program will be dilutive to existing
shareholders. If this marketing program is successful, the
Company anticipates that significant dilution may
result.
There are still significant hurdles to overcome to make this
marketing program commercially reasonable and enable it to stay
compliant with appropriate regulations, including but not limited
to, state Blue Sky laws.
As of December 31, 2016 the Company had issued and transferred
2,462,942 shares of Preferred Stock equity under this marketing
program to approximately 1,600 customers, who thus became
shareholders. The Company recognized a portion of the cost of this
program as a marketing expense and the balance as a cost of
sales. It has recognized a total of $373,024 as of December
31, 2016 to reflect this expense.
As of June 30, 2017 the Company had issued and transferred an
additional 1,163,384 shares of Preferred Stock under this marketing
program to customers. The total number of shareholders has grown to
2602. The Company began to recognize the entire cost of this
program as a marketing expense.
As of June 30, 2017, approximately 40,000 members were due
9,923,723 additional shares under this program, but the Company had
not yet issued and transferred these shares to its members. Until
issued and transferred, the member may forfeit these shares for a
variety of reasons, which include, but are not limited to, purchase
returns and account inactivity. The Company will not be issuing and
transferring these shares until it has an offering statement
qualified by the SEC.
NOTE 11: MEMBER
PREFERRED STOCK BACK TRANSACTIONS
The Company
originally accounted for preferred stock payable to customers for
becoming a member, purchases made or referring new members, as a
liability. Subsequent to issuance of the financial statements, it
was determined that equity accounting is the appropriate accounting
treatment for these transactions. As a result, all liabilities
related to the preferred stock payable have been reclassified as
equity. There were no changes to the Company’s statements of
operations or cash flows. The following changes have been made to
the balance sheet as of June 30, 2017:
