Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

For the Three and Nine Month Interim Periods Ended January 31, 2018

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Blockchain Industries, Inc. (“BCII”, “Blockchain” the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) was originally formed under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 15, 1995 as Interactive Processing, Inc. to market high-tech consumer electronics through television home-shopping networks, retail stores, catalog companies and their website remotecontrols.com. In March 1999, the Company changed its name to Worldtradeshow.com, Inc. (“WTS”). In April 1999, the Company acquired intellectual property rights to a database from Chaiisai Tora, Inc., an unaffiliated third party, and significantly changed its business plan to develop tradeshow software and market both physical and virtual tradeshow space through the Company's website.

 

The Company’s business involved the operation of Hotels.com.vn, tour companies and restaurants and market the WTS Discount Card in Vietnam in order to serve as an online vehicle for Vietnamese companies to promote themselves, using the largest travel and tourism online website in, as well as being recognized as the official travel/tourism website of, Vietnam.

 

On March 26, 2007, the Company acquired assets from Business.com.vn, a Vietnamese company, which assets consisted of a database of 300,000 Vietnamese companies, marketing software, trademarks and intellectual property, with the intention of developing a directory of companies. The plan included offering such companies opportunities to market themselves through domain registration, website development, and online marketing expertise to help these Vietnamese companies market themselves directly and/or on the Company’s BVNI web portal. In June 2007, the Company changed its name to Business.vn, Inc.

 

However, from October 2008 through early 2016, the Company’s operations were limited as a result of limited capital resources. Nevertheless, the Company continued operations of the Hotel.vn website. On May 15, 2016, the Company was placed under the control of a Receiver in Nevada’s Eighth Judicial District. From May 15, 2016 through March 22, 2017, while under the control of the Receiver, the Company continued to incur expenses to maintain its corporate existence as a public company and maintain its web-related business. On November 18, 2016, the Company changed its name to Omni Global Technologies, Inc. and on May 23, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with JOJ Holdings, LLC (“JOJ”), pursuant to which JOJ: (i) purchased 20,000,000 restricted shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Control Shares”) from the Company by the authority of the Receiver; (ii) assumed the liabilities of a judgement creditor in the amount of approximately $25,000; and (iii) paid the Receiver $150,000 which monies were used to cover the Receiver’s and other company expenses. Additionally, and concurrent with the execution of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Receiver resigned, and Olivia Funk was appointed as the sole officer and director of the Company.

 

On November 13, 2017, the Company filed Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada for the purpose of changing its name from Omni Global Technologies, Inc. to Blockchain Industries, Inc. On November 15, 2017, Patrick Moynihan was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman/sole director and, on the same date, Ms. Funk resigned all positions as an executive officer and director of the Company. On December 1, 2017, the Company appointed Zack Pontgrave as President and Bryan Larkin as Chief Technology Officer, respectively, joining Mr. Moynihan as part of the Company’s management team. Reference is made to the Company’s Form 10 filed with the SEC on February 27. 2018 and to the experience of Messrs. Pontgrave and Larkin in blockchain technology.

The Company will continue to operate its Hotels.VN travel business, which we plan to monetize through the use of our newly established blockchain technology. We purchased a new domain, hotelsinvietnam.net, which the Company intends to use for marketing Vietnamese travel business. In addition to utilizing blockchain technology in its current travel business, the Company has entered a broader business model related to blockchain technologies, within the blockchain technology market and intends to target and acquire or build a broad portfolio of virtual currencies, digital coin and tokens, and other blockchain assets (the “Digital Assets”) within four business verticals:

 

· Digital Asset Bank
· Mining and Trading
· Initial Coin Offerings (“ICOs”) and Ventures
· Media and Education

 

Recent Share Recapitalization

 

On January 16, 2018, the Company executed a 2-for-1 forward split. Accordingly, all references to the numbers of common shares and per share data in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect these splits, on a retroactive basis, unless indicated otherwise. The Company previously implemented a 1 for 15 reverse split effective November 18, 2016.

  

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at April 30, 2017 as presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on August 30, 2017 with the SEC.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts collected before these criteria are met are recorded as deferred revenue.

 

Currently the Company’s revenue is the form of consulting services provided to customers. Revenue is recognized prorata on a monthly basis over the term of the contractual agreement.

  

 

 

  9  

 

 

Marketable Securities

 

The Company determines the appropriate classification of its marketable securities, which consist primarily of investments in Digital Assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. All of the Company’s marketable securities are considered available-for-sale and carried at estimated fair values and reported as available-for-sale securities on the balance sheet. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from net income and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit). Other income includes realized gains and losses on sales of securities and other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of securities, if any. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. The Company regularly reviews all of its investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value. The Company’s review includes the consideration of the cause of the impairment, including the creditworthiness of the security issuers, the number of securities in an unrealized loss position, the severity and duration of the unrealized losses, whether the Company has the intent to sell the securities and whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. If the Company were to determine that the decline in fair value of an investment is below its accounting basis and the decline is other-than-temporary, the Company would reduce the carrying value of the security and record a loss for the amount of such decline.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $25 million from its inception on September 15, 1995 to date. We will need additional working capital for ongoing operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company is working a strategy to meet future operational goals which may include equity funding, short term or long-term financing or debt financing, to enable the Company to reach profitable operations, however, there can be no assurances that the plan will succeed, nor that the Company will be able to execute its plans.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718. Under the fair value recognition provision of ASC 718, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value of the awards granted. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Sholes model. The Company amortizes the fair value of stock options and awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards which are generally the vesting periods.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1  - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2  - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable.

 

Level 3  - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

 

 

 

  10  

 

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of January 31, 2018 and April 30, 2017. The Company uses the market approach to measure fair value for its Level 1 financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The respective carrying value of certain balance sheet financial instruments approximates its fair value. These financial instruments include cash, marketable securities, related party payables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Fair values were estimated to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature and they are receivable or payable on demand.

 

The estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations and reporting units and long-lived assets used in the related asset impairment tests utilize inputs classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Stock Purchase Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants issued to purchase shares of its Common Stock as equity in accordance with FASB ASC 480,  Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit with banks and money market funds, the fair value of which approximates cost. The Company maintains its cash balances with a high-credit-quality financial institution. At times, such cash may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents.

 

The Company classifies certain accounts holding Bitcoin and Ethereum to be cash equivalents and records them at their initial cost, and subsequently re-measures the carrying amounts it owns at each reporting date based on their current fair value. The changes in the fair value are included as a component of income or loss from operations.

 

The Company obtains the equivalency rate of Bitcoins and Ethereum to U.S. Dollars by using the historical values from Coin Market Cap (https://coinmarketcap.com). The equivalency rate obtained represents a generally well recognized quoted price in an active market for Bitcoin and Ethereum, which website is accessible to the Company on an ongoing basis. The Company may maintain its Bitcoin and Ethereum in wallets of an online exchange or in a cold storage wallet.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost or fair value if acquired as part of a business combination. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. The Company currently is in the process of building a mining facility for Digital Assets. All cost associated with that project, including the architectural, designs, and planning cost are being capitalized until the completion of the project.

 

 

 

  11  

 

 

The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

 

Computer software and office equipment 1-5 years
Furniture and fixtures 5-10 years
Mining Facility No depreciation is taken until the project is completed and placed into service

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

Net earnings or loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share for the period presented. Basic earnings, net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Fully diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption includes dilutive equivalents such as warrants stock options, and convertible preferred stock.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Significant estimates made by management are, among others, realizability of long-lived assets, deferred taxes and stock option valuation. Management reviews its estimates on a quarterly basis and, where necessary, makes adjustments prospectively.

 

NOTE 3. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

 

As of January 31, 2018, the Company has a federal net operating loss carry forwards of $ $6,264,744 that can be utilized to reduce future taxable income. The net operating loss carry forward will expire through 2023 if not utilized. Utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carry forward may be subject to substantial annual limitations due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards before utilization. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset because of uncertainty regarding realizability.

 

Management expects to perform an analysis of the net operating loss carry forwards and the impact of the recent changes in equity, which will provide certainty over the limitations of the net operating loss.

Basecoin’s token will be utilized as a form of controlling the supply and demand of fiat-based currencies to expand or contract the money-supply, similar to how current central banks attempt to maintain a normalized supply and demand of their respective fiat currencies.

Service Revenue

 

Revenue was $108,194 for the three-month period ended January 31, 2018 compared to no revenue during the same three-month period ended January 31, 2017.

For the period ended January 31, 2018 the Company primarily focused on generating revenue from the Digital Asset market. The revenue recorded during this period relates exclusively to the agreement it signed with KPAY for ICO consulting services.

 

Under the terms of the agreement with the customer, the value of the contract was comprised of $250,000 in cash and 1,000,000 shares of stock valued at $1.80 per share, or $1,800,000, and was paid in full to the Company prior to the commencement of services.

The Company or customer may cancel this agreement at any time for any reason whatsoever without an obligation to return any of the consideration received. In the event that occurs, the Company would immediately record the entire deferred liability balance as service revenue. The Company intends to continue to work with KPAY throughout the term of the contract and recognize monthly service income on a prorata basis. Since the common stock from KPAY is restricted, it cannot be traded for a period of at least six months. There can be no assurances that KPAY will be worth a $1.80 a share, or have any value whatsoever, at the time we decide to sell our shares. As of January 31, 2018, the value of the KPAY stock was a $1.25 per share, or the equivalent of an unrealized loss of $550,000.

Our intention in furtherance of our business plan is to raise a total of at least $10 million through equity and debt offerings pursuant to Regulation D and Regulation S under the Act, which should enable us to sustain operations through the end of calendar year 2019. We are in the process of meeting with numerous investors in the U.S., Europe and Asia, and believe that our financing initiatives will be successful. However, there can be no assurance that we will, in fact, be successful in our efforts at terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company. If the Company is unsuccessful in attracting additional capital at satisfactory terms, if at all, the lack of adequate equity and/or debt funding could adversely impact the Company’s business operations and ability to fulfill its business plan and future prospects.

 

Inflation

 

Although our operations may be influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the nine- month period ended January 31, 2018.

  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of January 31, 2018 and April 30, 2017.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position are discussed in our 2017 in Form 10-K Critical Accounting Policies section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Not applicable

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2018. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer. Based on this evaluation, our CEO has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2018.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Since our last quarterly period covered, October 31, 2017, internal control over financial reporting has been impacted by the addition of processes and procedures to ensure proper controls have been implemented to materially benefit the Company’s financial reporting. We have implemented a multi-level approval process and two factor authentication for cash disbursements, we have a centralized, role-based accounting system, and we have developed systematic work-flow approval processes for operational events that affect financial reporting to mitigate and control financial risks, as well as the reporting of our financial condition.

Item 2.   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

During the nine-month period ended January 31, 2018, we issued and sold a total of 12,946,700 restricted shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Shares”) through private placements to “accredited investors” as that term is defined under Rule 501(d) promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The sale of Shares to accredited investors, from which we, received proceeds of $4,282,125, were made in reliance upon the exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Act and Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Act. We used the funds from the private placements to: (i) make investments into Digital Assets; (ii) investments into activities that we expect will become operating assets; and (iii) to pay for goods and services, including fees related to being a public company filing reports under the Exchange Act, to operate the Company during the nine-month period. 

 

During the nine-month period ended January 31, 2018, the Company also issued 4,620,000 restricted Shares to independent contractors for bona fide services (the “Services”) to the Company in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Act.  The fair value of the Services rendered in consideration for the issuance of Shares was $58,320,000, which was calculated using the closing price per Share on the respective dates of issuance.

Purchase Amount: 4,500,000 Coral Health Tokens
Purchase Price: 500 ETH ($500,000 USD)

THIS CERTIFIES THAT in exchange for the payment by Blockchain Industries Inc. (the “ Purchaser ”) of the Purchase Amount set forth above (the “ Purchase Amount ”) effective the date of last signature below (the “ Effective Date ”) Coral Health Research & Discovery Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “ Company ”), hereby issues to the Purchaser the right to acquire certain units of cryptographic Coral Health Tokens (the “ Tokens ”) in the Coral Health Platform, subject to the terms set forth below.

 

See Section 2 for certain additional defined terms.

 

1. Events

 

(a)                Token Sale. In the event that the Company or any Nominated Entity completes a Qualifying Token Sale before the expiration or termination of this SAFT, the Company will automatically issue to the Purchaser, or will take all reasonable steps to procure that the Nominated Entity promptly issues to the Purchaser, as applicable, a number of Tokens based on the Purchase Amount, at the rate of 9,000 Tokens per one ETH.. The total supply of Tokens will be fixed in accordance with the terms set forth on Exhibit A of this SAFT, entitled “Coral Health Token Supply”. If the Company elects to complete the Qualifying Token Sale using a Nominated Entity, it will inform the Purchaser in writing prior to the Qualifying Token Sale. The performance by the Nominated Entity of the obligations of the Company under this SAFT will satisfy and fully discharge the obligations of the Company to the Purchaser under this SAFT. In connection with, as a condition to, and prior to the issuance of Tokens by the Company to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1(a):

 

(i). the Purchaser will execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents related to the Qualifying Token Sale, including, without limitation, any terms and conditions of the Qualifying Token Sale, any terms of use or end user license agreement applicable to the Coral Health Platform, and any other documents required pursuant to Securities Rules, as determined by the Company; and

 

(ii). The Purchaser will deliver payment of the Purchase Amount upon execution of this SAFT.

 

(b)               Liquidity Event .

The Purchase Amount will be paid prior and in preference to any Distribution of any of the assets of the Company to holders of outstanding Shares by reason of their ownership thereof. If immediately prior to the consummation of the Dissolution Event, the assets of the Company that remain legally available for distribution to the Purchaser and all holders of all other SAFTs (the “ Dissolving Purchasers ”), as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, are insufficient to permit the payment to the Dissolving Purchasers of their respective Purchase Amounts, then the remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution will be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the Dissolving Purchasers in proportion to the Purchase Amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1(c).

 

(d)               Equity Contingency. If prior to the expiration or termination of the SAFT and despite the best efforts of the Company, neither the Company nor any Nominated Entity is able to complete a Qualifying Token Sale, the Company may, at its sole option, elect to convert this SAFT into SAFT Shares. The Company would then issue to the Purchaser a number of SAFT Shares in the capital of the Company equal to the US dollar value of the Purchase Amount as of the date and time the Company received the Purchase Amount, such US dollar value then divided by issue price of $10.00 per SAFT Share; such SAFT Shares shall be Class A shares, of which there shall be a total of 10,000,000 Class A shares authorized for the Company. It will be a condition precedent to the issuance by the Company of the SAFT Shares under this SAFT that the Purchaser execute and deliver or otherwise become a party to any shareholder agreement of the Company then in force between the Company and its shareholders, or such other form of shareholder agreement including, but not limited to, any form of share transfer restriction agreement or voting trust agreement as required by the Company.

FOR THIS REASON, THESE SECURITIES WILL BE SOLD ONLY TO INVESTORS WHO MEET CERTAIN MINIMUM SUITABILITY QUALIFICATIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN.

 

A SUBSCRIBER SHOULD BE PREPARED TO BEAR THE ECONOMIC RISK OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE LLC FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME BECAUSE THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, AND, THEREFORE, CANNOT BE SOLD UNLESS THEY ARE SUBSEQUENTLY REGISTERED OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE. THERE IS NO OBLIGATION OF THE ISSUER TO REGISTER THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. TRANSFER OF THE MEMBER INTERESTS IS ALSO RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS OF THE LLC AGREEMENT RELATING THERETO.

(a) The Investor is aware that (i) the primary purpose of the SPE is to invest in cryptocurrency (sometimes referred to as “Tokens”) which is extremely risky and has a very strong possibility of becoming worthless; (ii) further, if the underlying investment of the SPE is successful, Investor can expect to receive an unspecified amount of cryptocurrency transferred to Investor; (iii) once 100% of the available cryptocurrency has been distributed to Investor on a pro-rata basis with the other members of the SPE, then Investor’s member interest in the SPE will be voluntarily cancelled, and Investor will no longer be an equity holder in the SPE; (iv) further, because the Interest has not been registered under the Securities Act, there is currently no public market therefor, (v) the Investor may not be able to avail itself of the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act with respect to the Interest, and (vi) before it is cancelled following distribution of any crypto currency, the Interest cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Investor understands that the SPE is under no obligation, and does not intend, to effect any such registration at any time. The Investor also understands that sales or transfers of the Interest are further restricted by the provisions of the LLC Agreement and, as applicable, securities laws of other jurisdictions and the states of the United States.

 

(b) The Investor has full power and authority to make the representations referred to in this Agreement, to purchase the Interest pursuant to this Agreement and the LLC Agreement and to deliver the LLC Agreement and this Agreement.

In furtherance of such efforts, Investor hereby represents, covenants, and agrees that, to the best of Investors’ knowledge based on reasonable investigation:

 

(a) None of Investor’s capital contributions to the SPE (whether payable in cash or otherwise) shall be derived from money laundering or similar activities deemed illegal under federal laws and regulations.

 

(b) To the extent within Investor’s control, none of Investor’s capital contributions to the SPE will cause the SPE or any of its personnel to be in violation of federal anti-money laundering laws, including without limitation the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. 5311 et seq.), the United States Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 or the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

(c) The Investor agrees that, if at any time it is discovered that any of the foregoing anti- money laundering representations are incorrect, or if otherwise required by applicable laws or regulations related to money laundering and similar activities, the Managing Member may undertake appropriate actions, and the Investor agrees to cooperate with such actions, to ensure compliance with such laws or regulations, including, but not limited to segregation and/or redemption of the Investor’s Interest in the SPE or freezing the Investor’s account.

 

 

 

  2

Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only with the written consent of the Investor and the Managing Member. This Agreement is not transferable or assignable by the Investor.

E XHIBIT A

 

I. CERTAIN RISK FACTORS

 

Prospective investors should be aware that an investment in KR Crypto SPE, LLC, the SPE involves an extreme high degree of risk and a real possibility the entire investment becomes worthless. There can be no assurance that the Member’s investment objectives will be achieved, or that an investor will receive a return of its capital, or return of the actual capital itself. In addition, there will be occasions when Managing Member and its affiliates may encounter potential conflicts of interest in connection with the SPE. The following considerations, among others, should be considered before investing.

 

R ISK I NHERENT I N C RYPTO C URRENCY I NVESTMENTS . The types of investments that the SPE anticipates making involve an extreme high degree of risk. Loss of an investor’s entire investment is possible. The timing of profit realization is highly uncertain. Crypto currencies are extremely speculative and volatile and have a high risk of fraud and/or exposure to hacking. Many crypto currency offers have been exposed as complete fraud, including pump and dump schemes where investors are left with worthless investments. Moreover, other crypto currency investments has been the subject of hacking by criminals where investments were lost without recourse by the investors. Accordingly, Investor is aware that investing in crypto currency, such as the underlying targeting crypto currency, Basecoin, is extremely risky and could result in the entire loss of Investor’s investment without any fault of the SPE and Managing Member, Evolve VC, LLC.

 

R ELIANCE O N T HE M ANAGING M EMBER . The Managing Member will have sole discretion over the investment of the SPEs committed to the SPE as well as the ultimate realization of any profits. As such, the pool of SPEs in the SPE represents a blind pool of SPEs. Investors in the SPE will be relying on the Managing Member to conduct the business as contemplated by this Disclosure. The loss of one or more principals of the Managing Member could have a significant adverse impact on the business of the SPE. No assurances can be given that each of such principals will continue to be affiliated with the SPE throughout its term. Notwithstanding any prior experience that such principals may have in making investments of the type expected to be made by the SPE, any such experience necessarily was obtained under different market conditions and with different technologies at the forefront of development. There can be no assurance that the principals of the Managing Member will be able to duplicate prior levels of success.

 

C HANGING E CONOMIC C ONDITIONS . The success of the Managing Member’s investment strategy could be significantly impacted by changing external economic conditions in the United States and global economies. The stability and sustainability of growth in global economies may be impacted by terrorism or acts of war. Changing economic conditions could potentially adversely impact the valuation of the underlying investment in Basecoin, and/or the crypto currency issued by Basecoin.

 

N O M ARKET ; I LLIQUIDITY O F SPE I NTERESTS . Except for the underlying crypto currency distributed to Investor, which may have its own lock-up period, an investment in the SPE will be illiquid and involves a high degree of risk. There is no public market for limited SPE interests in the SPE, and it is not expected that a public market will develop. Consequently, Members will bear the economic risks of their investment for the term of the SPE. Prospective investors will be required to represent and agree that they are purchasing the limited SPE interests for their own account for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof.

 

L EGAL , T AX A ND R EGULATORY R ISKS . Legal, tax and regulatory changes could occur during the term of the SPE that may adversely affect the SPE or the value of the underlying investment in Basecoin such as rending the crypto currency illegal, valueless and/or worthless.

No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

TRANSFER OF THE MEMBER INTERESTS IS ALSO RESTRICTED BY THE TERMS OF THE LLC AGREEMENT RELATING THERETO.

(a) The Investor is aware that (i) the primary purpose of the SPE is to invest in developing blockchain technologies and cryptocurrency (sometimes referred to as “Tokens”) which is extremely risky and has a very strong possibility of becoming worthless; (ii) further, if the underlying investment of the SPE is successful, Investor can expect to receive an unspecified amount of cryptocurrency transferred to Investor; (iii) once 100% of the available cryptocurrency has been distributed to Investor on a pro-rata basis with the other members of the SPE, then Investor’s member interest in the SPE will be voluntarily cancelled, and Investor will no longer be an equity holder in the SPE; (iv) further, because the Interest has not been registered under the Securities Act, there is currently no public market therefor, (v) the Investor may not be able to avail itself of the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act with respect to the Interest, and (vi) before it is cancelled following distribution of any crypto currency, the Interest cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Investor understands that the SPE is under no obligation, and does not intend, to effect any such registration at any time. The Investor also understands that sales or transfers of the Interest are further restricted by the provisions of the LLC Agreement and, as applicable, securities laws of other jurisdictions and the states of the United States.

In furtherance of such efforts, Investor hereby represents, covenants, and agrees that, to the best of Investors’ knowledge based on reasonable investigation:

 

(a) None of Investor’s capital contributions to the SPE (whether payable in cash or otherwise) shall be derived from money laundering or similar activities deemed illegal under federal laws and regulations.

 

(b) To the extent within Investor’s control, none of Investor’s capital contributions to the SPE will cause the SPE or any of its personnel to be in violation of federal anti-money laundering laws, including without limitation the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. 5311 et seq.), the United States Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 or the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

(c) The Investor agrees that, if at any time it is discovered that any of the foregoing anti- money laundering representations are incorrect, or if otherwise required by applicable laws or regulations related to money laundering and similar activities, the Managing Member may undertake appropriate actions, and the Investor agrees to cooperate with such actions, to ensure compliance with such laws or regulations, including, but not limited to segregation and/or redemption of the Investor’s Interest in the SPE or freezing the Investor’s account.

Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only with the written consent of the Investor and the Managing Member.

I. CERTAIN RISK FACTORS

 

Prospective investors should be aware that an investment in KR2 Crypto SPE, LLC, the SPE involves an extreme high degree of risk and a real possibility the entire investment becomes worthless. There can be no assurance that the Member’s investment objectives will be achieved, or that an investor will receive a return of its capital, or return of the actual capital itself. In addition, there will be occasions when Managing Member and its affiliates may encounter potential conflicts of interest in connection with the SPE. The following considerations, among others, should be considered before investing.

 

R ISK I NHERENT I N B LOCK C HAIN AND C RYPTO C URRENCY I NVESTMENTS . The types of investments that the SPE anticipates making involve an extreme high degree of risk. Loss of an investor’s entire investment is possible. The timing of profit realization is highly uncertain. Emerging Block Chain technology and Crypto currencies are extremely speculative and volatile and have a high risk of fraud and/or exposure to hacking. Many crypto currency offers have been exposed as complete fraud, including pump and dump schemes where investors are left with worthless investments. Moreover, other crypto currency investments has been the subject of hacking by criminals where investments were lost without recourse by the investors. Block Chain technologies are in their infancy stage and unproven and not widely adopted and may never be. Accordingly, Investor is aware that investing in crypto currency and block chain technlogoy, such as the underlying investment in Origin Protocol, Inc. and its associated “Token” is extremely risky and could result in the entire loss of Investor’s investment without any fault of the SPE and Managing Member, Evolve VC, LLC.

 

R ELIANCE O N T HE M ANAGING M EMBER . The Managing Member will have sole discretion over the investment of the SPEs committed to the SPE as well as the ultimate realization of any profits. As such, the pool of SPEs in the SPE represents a blind pool of SPEs. Investors in the SPE will be relying on the Managing Member to conduct the business as contemplated by this Disclosure. The loss of one or more principals of the Managing Member could have a significant adverse impact on the business of the SPE. No assurances can be given that each of such principals will continue to be affiliated with the SPE throughout its term. Notwithstanding any prior experience that such principals may have in making investments of the type expected to be made by the SPE, any such experience necessarily was obtained under different market conditions and with different technologies at the forefront of development. There can be no assurance that the principals of the Managing Member will be able to duplicate prior levels of success.

 

C HANGING E CONOMIC C ONDITIONS . The success of the Managing Member’s investment strategy could be significantly impacted by changing external economic conditions in the United States and global economies. The stability and sustainability of growth in global economies may be impacted by terrorism or acts of war. Changing economic conditions could potentially adversely impact the valuation of the underlying investment in Origin Protocol, and/or the crypto currency issued by Origin Protocol.

 

N O M ARKET ; I LLIQUIDITY O F SPE I NTERESTS . Except for the underlying crypto currency distributed to Investor, which may have its own lock-up period, an investment in the SPE will be illiquid and involves a high degree of risk. There is no public market for limited SPE interests in the SPE, and it is not expected that a public market will develop. Consequently, Members will bear the economic risks of their investment for the term of the SPE. Prospective investors will be required to represent and agree that they are purchasing the limited SPE interests for their own account for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof.

 

L EGAL , T AX A ND R EGULATORY R ISKS . Legal, tax and regulatory changes could occur during the term of the SPE that may adversely affect the SPE or the value of the underlying investment in Origin Protocol such as rending the crypto currency illegal, valueless and/or worthless.

Section 12.2.  Prepayment of Expenses . The Company shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided , however , that to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnified Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 12 or otherwise.

 

Section 12.3.  Claims by Managers . If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 12 is not paid in full within 30 days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnified Person has been received by the Company, the Indemnified Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Company shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

 

Section 12.4.   Indemnification of Employees and Agents . The Company may indemnify and advance expenses to any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Company or, while an employee or agent of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, manager, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorney’s fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding.

Section 14.3.   Applicable Law and Dispute Resolution . The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern this Agreement, excluding any conflict of laws rules. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the provisions of this Agreement shall override the provisions of the Act to the extent of any inconsistency or contradiction between them. Any dispute between any of the Parties hereto or any claim by a Party against another Party arising out of or relating to this Agreement any alleged breach hereof, shall be determined in accordance with the following dispute resolution procedures:

 

(a)    First, senior representatives of the Parties that are involved in the dispute shall meet and confer in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute as among themselves. If after ten (10) Business Days, such Parties are not able to resolve the dispute as among themselves, any such Party to the dispute may elect by written notice to the other such Parties to submit such dispute to be resolved through binding arbitration.

 

(b)    Second, if applicable, arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules then in force with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitration shall be conducted in Boulder, Colorado and shall be subject to the substantive law of the State of Delaware. If the Parties in dispute cannot agree upon an arbitrator, each such Party shall be entitled to select one arbitrator and all of such arbitrators together shall agree upon another arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. All of the arbitrators selected shall be disinterested persons and individuals skilled in the legal and business aspects of the subject matter of this Agreement and of the dispute, and each shall have at least ten (10) years of experience in negotiating agreements regarding the issuance of securities. In the event that any Party involved in the arbitration shall fail to designate an arbitrator within thirty (30) days following a written request by another such Party to do so, the arbitrators that have been selected shall choose the arbitrator to conduct the arbitration. If the selected arbitrators fail to agree upon the appointment of an arbitrator to conduct the arbitration within thirty (30) days following a written request from any Party to do so, the arbitrator to conduct the arbitration shall be selected by the AAA at the request of any of the Parties in the dispute. The decision rendered by the arbitrators shall be accompanied by a written opinion in support thereof and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties in the dispute without right of appeal.

 

(c)    Judgment upon any such decision may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the decision of an order of enforcement, and the Party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys fees, to be paid by the Parties against whom enforcement is ordered. The fees and expenses of such arbitration shall be borne by the non-prevailing Party, as determined by such arbitration.

 

(d)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any Party may seek injunctive relief, including a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction, from a court of competent jurisdiction. The sole venue and jurisdiction for any such matter or action shall be the Federal or state courts residing in Boulder, Colorado.

 

Section 14.4.  Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers . This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto) represents the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such

right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
