CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”), in particular the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in Item 7 herein (“MD&A”) contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements give expectations or forecasts of future events. The reader can identify these forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “believe(s),” “goal(s),” “target(s),” “estimate(s),” “anticipate(s),” “forecast(s),” “project(s),” plan(s),” “intend(s),” “expect(s),” “might,” may” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operating,operations, financial performance or financial condition. Forward-looking statements, in particular, include statements relating to future actions, prospective services or products, future performance or results of current and anticipated services or products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, trends of operations and financial results.

 

Any or all forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong, and, accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report. These statements are based on current expectations and the current economic environment. They involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These statements are not guarantees of future performance; actualperformance. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many such factors will be important in determining the Company’s actual results and financial condition. The reader should consider the following list of general factors that could affect the Company’s future results and financial condition.

 

Among the general factors that could cause actual results and financial condition to differ materially from estimated results and financial condition are:

 

 the success or failure of management’s efforts to implement their business strategy;
   
 the ability of the Company to raise sufficient capital to meet operating requirements;
   
 the uncertainty of consumer demand for our products and services;
   
 the ability of the Company to compete with major established companies;
   
 heightened competition, including, with respect to pricing, entry of new competitors and the development of new products or services by new and existing competitors;
   
 absolute and relative performance of our products andor services;
   
 the effect of changing economic conditions;
   
 the ability of the Company to attract and retain quality employees and management;
   
 the current global recession and financial uncertainty; and
   
 other risks which may be described in our future filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

No assurances can be given that the results contemplated in any forward-looking statements will be achieved or will be achieved in any particular timetable. We assume no obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statements as a result of events or developments subsequent to the date of this Annual Report. The reader is advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our filings with the SEC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMPART I

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Global Equity International, Inc. and subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Global Equity International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over the financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Equity International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the consolidated result of its operations, comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

Note 1 - Nature of Operations

Global Equity Partners, Plc. (“GEP”), a private company, was organized under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles on September 2, 2009. Global Equity International Inc. (the “Company” or “GEI”), a reporting company since June 21, 2012, was organized under the laws of the state of Nevada on October 1, 2010. On November 15, 2010, GEP executed a reverse recapitalization with GEI. On August 22, 2014, we formed a Dubai subsidiary, of Global Equity Partners Plc., called GE Professionals JLT. Global Equity Partners Plc. is the parent company of its 100% subsidiary GE Professionals DMCC (Dubai).

Revenue is generated from business consulting services, introduction fees, and equity participation.

Note 2 - Going Concern

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a loss of $2,222,129 for the year ended December 31, 2014, $2,000 of which is due to the permanent impairment of an investment; and net cash used in operations of $209,328 for the year ended December 31, 2014; and a working capital deficit of $2,427,493 and stockholders´ deficit of $3,841,580 for the year ended December 31, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.

The Company expects to use its working capital to implement a marketing program to increase awareness of its business model, which includes, but is not limited to, acquisition of private companies, with the intention of taking those companies public in the United States and possibly dual listing those entities abroad. In the event that operating cash flows are slowed or nonexistent, the Company plans to reduce its overhead wherever possible.

Depending upon market conditions, the Company may not be successful in raising sufficient additional capital to achieve its business objectives. In such event, the business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected hence there is certain doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated 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. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

Global Equity International Inc. is the parent company of its 100% subsidiary Global Equity Partners Plc and Global Equity Partners Plc. is the parent company of its 100% subsidiary GE Professionals JLT DMCC (Dubai). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2014 and 2013

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, competition and potential risk of business failure. The risk of social and governmental factors is also a concern since the Company is headquartered in Dubai.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2014 and at December 31, 2013 respectively; the Company had no cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company recognizes accounts receivable in connection with the services provided. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible.

Foreign currency policy

The Company’s accounting policies related to the consolidation and accounting for foreign operations in future filings will be as follows: All foreign currency transactions will be translated into United States dollars ($) and/or USD as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities will be translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses will be translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions will be translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period will be included as a component of our stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions will be included in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as other income (expense).

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 our functional and operational currency was the US Dollar.

Marketable Securities

(A) Classification of Securities

At the time of the acquisition, a security is designated as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading, which depends on the ability and intent to hold such security to maturity. Securities classified as trading and available-for-sale are reported at fair value, while securities classified as held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost.

All securities held at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively were designated as available for sale. Any un-realized gains and losses are reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains (losses) will be computed on a specific identification basis and will be reflected in the statement of operations.

Cost Method Investment

At March 31, 2013, the Company had investment in securities of two different Companies, having a cost of $163,000 that was treated as a cost method investment. The value of the cost method investment pertains to the receipt of 9.2% of the common stock in a private company in which the best evidence of value was the services rendered and a further 9.86% of the common stock in another private company in which the best evidence of value was the services rendered.

At June 30, 2013, there were identifiable events or changes in circumstances that had a significant adverse effect on the value of one of the investments: hence the Company impaired $160,000 of the investments.

Also at June 30, 2013, the Company received 2,000,000 shares from a private company and client having a cost of $2,000 that is treated as a cost method investment. The value of the cost method investment pertains to the receipt of 8.55% of the common stock in a private company in which the best evidence of value was the services rendered.

At December 31, 2014, there were identifiable events or changes in circumstances that had a significant adverse effect on the value of one of the investments hence the Company impaired $2,000 of the investments.

Equity investment in companies is accounted for under the cost method as the equity investments do not have readily determinable fair values. As per ASC codification 320 “Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, non-marketable equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value are not required to be accounted for under the equity method and are typically carried at cost.

(B) Other than Temporary Impairment

The Company reviews its equity investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other-than-temporary and require the recognition of an impairment loss in income. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investments. Management also considers the type of security, related-industry and sector performance, as well as published investment ratings and analyst reports, to evaluate its portfolio. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, the Company may incur future impairments. The Company recorded as permanent impairment loss on available for sale marketable securities of $2,000 and $160,000 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets are to be stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided based on estimated useful lives of the assets. Cost of improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of assets can be capitalized. Repairs and maintenance expenses are to be charged to expense when incurred. In case of sale or disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated financial statements.

  2014  2013 
Furniture and equipment $36,095  $9,316 
Accumulated depreciation $(5,871) $(1,499)
         
Net fixed assets $30,224  $7,817 

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $4,372 and $1,382, respectively.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF would be recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount would be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Debt issue costs and debt discount

The Company may pay debt issue costs, and record financing costs and debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of convertible debt. These costs are amortized over the life of the debt to interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Original issue discount

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the product or service has been provided to the customer; (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) the collection of our fees is probable.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company received marketable securities and cash as consideration for services rendered.

Share-based payments

The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants at their fair value on the grant date, which is based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

Share based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes pricing model.Share based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period.

When computing fair value, the Company considered the following variables:

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the share based payment in effect at the time of the grant.
The expected term was developed by management estimate.
The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the near future.
The expected volatility is based on management estimates regarding private company stock, where future trading of stock in a public market is expected to be highly volatile.
The forfeiture rate is based on historical experience.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the carrying amount of deferred income tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.

On November 15, 2010, the date of the reverse recapitalization, the Company became subject to federal and state income taxes.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company will record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no penalties or interest for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Company may be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and state taxing authorities for 2014 and 2013 tax years.

The Company’s subsidiary, GEP, is incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles (“Seychelles”). A company is subject to Seychelles income tax if it does business in Seychelles. A company that is incorporated in Seychelles, but that does not do business in Seychelles, is not subject to income tax there. GEP did not do business in Seychelles for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and GEP does not intend to do business in Seychelles in the future. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to income tax in Seychelles for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. All business activities were performed by GEP in Dubai for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Dubai does not have an income tax.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

The Company has no common stock equivalents, which, if exercisable, would be dilutive. A separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs reflect: quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accounts payable to related parties and loans payable to related parties, approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company has assets and liabilities measured at fair market value on a recurring basis. Consequently, the Company had gains and losses reported in the statement of comprehensive income (loss).

The following is the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Level 3 – Derivative liability  (695,447)  - 
Total $(711,473) $53,856 

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value:

Marketable Securities — the Level 2 position consists of the Company’s investment in equity securities of stock held in publically traded companies. The valuation of these securities is based on significant inputs that are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data. These valuations are typically based on quoted prices in active markets. The Company´s investments in equity securities are in relatively inactive markets.

Non-Marketable Securities at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The level 3 position consist of investments accounted for under the cost method. The Level 3 position consists of investment in an equity security held in a private company.

Management believes that an “other-than-temporary impairment” would be justified, as according to ASC 320-10 an investment is considered impaired when the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost basis. The impairment is considered either temporary or other-than-temporary. The accounting literature does not define other-than-temporary. It does, however, state that other-than-temporary does not mean permanent; although, all permanent impairments are considered other-than-temporary. The literature does provide some examples of factors which may be indicative of an “other-than-temporary impairment”, such as:

the length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost;
the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and
the intent and ability of the holder to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Management believes that the fair value of its investment has been correctly measured, as the length of time that the stock has been less than cost is nominal. The financial condition and near-term prospects of the Company’s investment is expected to realize improved value due to a public reverse merger.

Changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Balance, December 31, 2012  160,000 
Realized and unrealized gains (losses)  - 
Purchases, sales and settlements  5,000 
Impairment loss  (160,000)

(C) Related party – long term

The Company has accrued salary to the officers and directors of the Company based on the terms of the employment agreements entered into with each officer. As at December 31, 2013, $209,475 was due to the Chief Executive Officer and $115,000 was due to the Chief Financial Officer. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company converted these amounts to Convertible Loans Payable. These amounts have a term of two years and are repayable on demand and will accrue interest at 10% on the loan period. The agreement also gives an option to the officers of the Company to convert all or part of the debt that the Company maintains with them into restricted shares at $1.20 per share.

On November 15, 2014, the board of directors agreed to modify the conversion terms of the loan and extend the term until December 31, 2015. The new conversion terms are as follows: 50% of the average 10 day closing price prior to the conversion. This modification caused the initial notes to be deemed extinguished. The company has accounted for the corresponding debt discount, derivate liability and gain on extinguishment attached to these notes. At December 31, 2014, the Company had incurred $32,537 of interest expense, accrued $56,873 of interest, amortized debt discount for a total of $33,800 and recognized a gain on conversion of $22,486.

The principal balance outstanding of the loan payable account (net of unamortized debt discount of $268,189) as at December 31, 2014 is $33,800.

(D) Notes payable

As the principal and interest was not paid back to the lender on time, the Company compensated the lender with an additional 20,000 common restricted shares and for this the lender agreed to a five month extension. This stock compensation was issued to the lender also on December 12, 2013. This loan is currently in default. Total accrued interest as at December 31, 2014 is $106,196.

If the Convertible Note is not paid in full or converted into common stock of the Company prior to its maturity date, then the Convertible Note will accrue interest at the rate of 4.5% per annum from the maturity date until paid in full. This $450,000 loan was used as a guarantee for a loan amounting to $3,540,000 applied for to a United Kingdom financial institution on December 9, 2013. At December 23, 2014 the loan had still not been approved due to technical reasons solely related to the lender so the Company made the decision to request back the $450,000 cash collateral and subsequently paid back the principal to the note holder plus $5,000 of interest. At December 31, 2014 the Company incurred a total interest expense of $42,971, owed the noteholder $37,971 of accrued interest as the principal had been paid back in full.

(E) Convertible notes and derivative liability

We have evaluated the terms and conditions of the notes. Because the economic characteristics and risks of the equity linked conversion options are not clearly and closely related to a debt-type host, the conversion features require classification and measurement as derivative financial instruments. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the initial fair value of the derivative first by allocating the fair value of the embedded derivative as a reduction to the face value of the debt recorded as a contra liability or debt discount to be accreted over the term of the note. On each reporting date, the fair value of the embedded derivative is calculated with changes in value recorded to other expense.

Note 5 - Income Taxes

The income tax provision differs from the amount of tax determined by applying the federal statutory rate approximately as follows:

  2014  2013 
       
Income Tax provision at statutory rate: $(551,137) $(814,647)
         
Increase (decrease) in income tax due to:        
Non-Taxable foreign earnings  164,252   317,325 
State taxes  -   - 
Change in valuation allowance  386,886   497,322 
         
Total $-  $- 

Net deferred tax assets and liabilities are comprised approximately of the following:

  2014  2013 
         
Deferred tax assets (liabilities), current $-  $- 
         
Deferred tax assets (liabilities), non-current        
Net operating loss $386,886  $497,322 
Change invaluation allowance $(386,886) $(497,322)
  $-  $- 
         
Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $-  $- 
Non-current assets (liabilities) $-  $- 
  $-  $- 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income taxes.

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company generated net operating losses of approximately $386,886 and $497,322, respectively, for federal and Florida income tax purposes. These losses can be carried forward and used to offset taxable income in future years and will start expiring on December 31, 2033.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, based upon the levels of historical taxable income and the limited experience of the Company, the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be able to realize the benefits of some or all of these deductible differences. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of approximately $386,886 and $497,322 has been provided in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, GEI incurred a loss of approximately $2,222,129 and $2,344,958, respectively.

Therefore, GEP had negative earnings and profits and does not have any foreign earnings and profits to be distributed. Since GEP does not have any undistributed earnings, the Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability associated with the foreign earnings as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Company is not subject to any foreign income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company may be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and state taxing authorities for 2014 and 2013 tax years.

Note 6 - Temporary Equity and Stockholders’ Equity

(A) Preferred Stock

On November 30, 2011, the Company authorized and designated 5,000,000 Series “A” convertible preferred shares of stock, as a bonus to its Chief Executive Officer for services rendered, having a fair value of $480,000 ($0.096/share), based upon the fair value of the services rendered, which represented the best evidence of fair value.

On November 13, 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved an amendment to the Certificate of Designation; to amend the voting rights and conversion rights of the Company’s Series “A” preferred shares as follows:

Voting Rights: 10 votes per share (votes along with common stock);
Conversion Rights: Each share of Series “A” Preferred is convertible into ten (10) shares of common stock 1 day after the second anniversary of issuance;
Dividend Rights: None;
Liquidation Rights: None

The board of directors subsequently agreed that the Chief Executive Officer of the Company would retire to treasury 3,466,668 of these Series “A” preferred shares and retain, the balance, 1,533,332 shares.

On November 21, 2012 the Company’s CEO gave 533,332 of his Series “A” preferred shares to the Company’s CFO (400,000) and two other employees (133,332). As the 533,332 preferred shares will convert into 5,333,320 on December 1, 2014 and the price per common share on November 21, 2012 was $0.25, the contribution by the officer to the Company was calculated at $1,333,330.

On December 12, 2013 the Company issued 450,000 Series “A” preferred shares to the Company’s CFO (200,000), CEO (200,000) and one employee (50,000) having a fair value of $540,000 ($0.12 per share), based upon the fair value of the services rendered, which represented the best evidence of fair value.

The Company has determined that no beneficial conversion feature or derivative financial instruments exist in connection with the Series “A”, convertible preferred stock, as the conversion rate was fixed at an amount equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, there are a stated number of fixed shares.

IMPLICATIONS OF BEING AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY

 

As a Company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (also known as the “JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company, we are entitled to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

 

 Only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;
   
 Reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;
   
 Not having to obtain non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and
   
 Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

We may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, if we have more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by non-affiliates, or if we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may take advantage of these exemptions until the last day of the fiscal year of the Company following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities in an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.Note: To date, we have not sold or issued any of our common equity securities under an effective Form S-1, Form S-3, Form S-4 or Form S-8 or other form of registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens in the future. We have irrevocably elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.

Peter Smith founded Global Equity Partners Plc to assist small to medium size businesses with management restructuring and corporate restructuring, in general, and also to obtain, if requested by its clients, access to capital markets via equity and debt financings.

 

GEP looks for promising small to medium size companies ($2,000,000 to $10,000,000 in assets) and introduces these clients to private and institutional investors in our network (“rol-a-dex”) of over 179 “financial introducers” around the world. These financial introducers are simply groups of people or institutions that are presently introducing new clients to us or who have introduced new clients to our management in the past.

Our specific plan of operations and milestones through April 2016March 2019 are as follows:

 

ACQUIRE CERTAIN FINANCIAL ADVISORY FIRMS WITH MONEY UNDER MANAGEMENT

Initially, the Company intends to acquire four licensed financial advisory firms with funds under management on or before April 15, 2018, two of which are based in the United Kingdom and the other two are based in Malaysia. These four financial advisory firms currently have an aggregate US$150 million of funds under management. These targeted acquisitions have been identified, non-binding letters of intent have already been agreed to and signed and their two-year financial statement audits are almost complete. Each acquisition will form part of the newly incorporated subsidiary called Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited. These acquisitions will be, in essence, the acquisition of stable and long term recurring and non-recurring revenues.

Once the Company acquires these initial four financial advisory firms, the Company intends to continue growing in 2018 and 2019 by acquiring more financial advisory firms that already have been identified.

The acquisition of these entities will open up a new controlled network for the services of:

2)DUBAI EXPANSION

We will continue to establish a firm presence in Dubai, UAE where we are attracting clients, relationships and awareness. Our Dubai operation is currently a branch office of the company allowing us a license to trade in the area. This branch office will continue to recruit new members of staff that will allow us to grow and become more efficient in Dubai.

3)CREATE A MORE EFFICIENT SYSTEM FOR REVIEWING PROSPECTIVE BUSINESSES.

We will concentrate our efforts on the quality of the company that is introduced to us. We will start off by sending the client a standard due diligence list and request that they complete the list and send us the support for review. We will then follow-up the due diligence with a “site visit” in order to properly understand our client’s business model and more importantly meet the principals in person.next 12 months.

 

We will create a deeper due diligence program allowing us to dig deep on any prospective client prior to engagement thus protecting the company from any future problems by employing one new staff member that will be responsible for the due diligence analysis and creating a report for our file on their findings.REBRANDING OF OUR ENTIRE CORPORATE STRUCTURE

4)EXPAND OUR CONSULTANCY TO INCLUDE MORE MERGER AND ACQUISITION ACTIVITY.

We will hopefully enable us to:adapt the new brand towards the Financial Advisory firms that we will acquire and ensure a uniform image of our corporate structure including new websites and email addresses for all companies within our structure. The reporting structures of each subsidiary will also be examined for maximum effect. In due course, we will change the name of GEP Equity Holdings Limited and GE Professionals DMCC to Argentum 47 Consulting Limited and Argentum 47 HR DMCC, respectively.

 

(1)Find potential merger and acquisition candidates.
(2)Introduce our clients to brokers and investment bankers.

EXPAND OUR HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT IN DUBAI – KINGSMAN JAMES.

 

The only additional cost for this activity will be a very small administrative burden for telephone calls and communications to be funded out of operational income, mainly income receivable from clients currently under contract.

5)DEVELOP IN HOUSE IT DEPARTMENT

Commencing initially with one member we will start to develop a proprietary program allowing us to easily monitor a client’s development status and work in progress. We will also use this tool to manage our pipeline of clients and therefore it will become vital in our cash flow forecasting.

Accountants, lawyers and finance professionals are the target market for overlaying our service into their existing client banks in return for a percentage of fees received. We also intend to add two to five new members to our administration team during 2015.

9)ROAD SHOWS

FURTHER EXPAND OUR RANGE OF BUSINESS AND CONTACTS

 

We will continue the “Road Shows”, in Dubai with the supportexplore alternative methods of the Dubai NASDAQ for companies already listed in Sri Lanka and other parts of Asia who could be seeking a dual listing in Dubai to provide liquidity and more capital raising options. We have commenced initial conversations with a brokerage house in Sri Lanka to look at their clients they have that would be suitable for the Dubai market. We will initially invite management of selected companies to Dubai for a two day event in conjunction with Nasdaq Dubai and a number of leading Investment Institutions, the anticipated cost of this is to be met by the prospective clients themselves and sponsorship from the institutions and Nasdaq Dubai.

10)FURTHER EXPAND OUR RANGE OF BUSINESS AND CONTACTS

In 2015, we intend to cement in the relationships created. The target markets for attracting clients are: Thailand, Sri Lanka, China, Hong Kong and Singapore.

We will explore the possibilities of dual listings forservicing our clients by utilizing contacts already made in SingaporeEurope to allow us to offer a local marketwider service to our current and future clients. We will have a focus on Singapore, United Kingdom and Canada for any Asian clientsthis expansion

NEW OFFICES

Once we have acquired the initial four Financial Advisory firms in the United Kingdom and Malaysia, we will attract and giving the company a firm footholdhave four offices in total, one in Dubai, one in the Asian territory.

11)EMPLOYEES; IDENTIFICATION OF A SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEE

We currently have five employees: Peter J. Smith,Isle of Man, one in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and the other in the North East of the UK. In due course, during 2018, we will also open a central office in London (UK). In addition, we are exploring the expansion of our President, and Enzo Taddei, our Chief Financial Officer, Patrick V. Dolan, our New Business Managing Director, Shoaib Rasool, our In-House Accountant and Analyst and Zara V.

We intendopportunity to hire at least five additional employees in 2015, two administrative and three people to assistattract several financial advisors under our New Business Managing Director, Patrick Dolan, in London.licensed Malaysian brand.

 

COMPETITION

 

We face intense competition in every aspect of our business, and particularly from other firms which offer management, compliance and other consulting services to private and public companies. We would prefer to accept a relatively low cash component as our fee for management consulting and regulatory compliance services and take a greater portion of our fee in the form of restricted shares of our private clients’ common stock. We also face competition from a large number of consulting firms, investment banks, venture capitalists, merchant banks, financial advisors and other management consulting and regulatory compliance services firms similar to ours. Many of our competitors have greater financial and management resources and some have greater market recognition than we do. There are many institutions around the globe that are executing a roll-up strategy by acquiring Financial Advisory firms around the world; hence, we will face completion but we believe that there is still room for our Company to have a place within the Financial Advisory world.

 

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREQUIREMENTS.

 

We are not required to obtain any special licenses, nor meet any special regulatory requirements before establishing our business, other than a simple business license. If new government regulations, laws, or licensing requirements are passed that would restrict or eliminate delivery of any of our intended products, then our business may suffer. Presently, to the best of our knowledge, no such regulations, laws, or licensing requirements exist or are likely to be implemented in the near future that would reasonably be expected to have a material impact on orour sales, revenues, or income from our business operations.

 

We are not a broker-dealer. We doare not believe we are an investment adviser or an investment company. We are not a hedge fund or a mutual fund or any similar type of fund. We are primarily an operating business that offers and performs corporate consultancy services.

EFFECT OF EXISTING OR PROBABLE GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONSREGULATIONS.

 

The Company’s common stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”). As a result of such registration, the Company is subject to Regulation 14A of the “1934 Act,” which regulates proxy solicitations. Section 14(a) requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) thereof to comply with the rules and regulations of the Commission regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to stockholders of the Company at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require the Company to provide its stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to stockholders.

The Company is also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Commission on a regular basis, and will be required to disclose certain events in a timely manner (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy)business, etc.) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO TIMELY COMPLY WITH SECTION 404 OR IF THE COSTS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE ARE SIGNIFICANT, OUR PROFITABILITY, STOCK PRICE AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

 

The Company is required to comply with the provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires that we document and test our internal controls and certify that we are responsible for maintaining an adequate system of internal control procedures for the 20152018 and 2019 fiscal year.years. We are currently evaluating our existing controls against the standards adopted by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). During the course of our ongoing evaluation and integration of the internal controls of our business, we may identify areas requiring improvement, and we may have to design enhanced processes and controls to address issues identified through this review (see Item 9A,9.A, below for a discussion of our internal controls and procedures).

 

We believe that the out-of-pocket costs, the diversion of management’s attention from running the day-to-day operations and operational changes caused by the need to comply with the requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could be significant. If the time and costs associated with such compliance exceed our current expectations, our results of operations and the future filings of our Company could be materially adversely affected.

 

DEPENDENCE ON KEY EMPLOYEESEMPLOYEES.

 

The Company is heavily dependent on the abilityabilities of our President, Peter Smith and our Chief Financial Officer, Enzo Taddei and our New Business Managing Director, Patrick V. Dolan.Taddei. The loss of the services of Mr. Smith Mr. Taddei and/or Mr. DolanTaddei would seriously undermine our ability to carry out our business plan.

 

In the event of future growth in administration, advisory, marketing manufacturing and customer support functions, the Company may have to increase the depth and experience of its management team by adding new members. The Company’s success will depend to a large degree upon the active participation of its key officers and employees, as well as the continued service of its key management personnel and its ability to identify, hire, and retain additional qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to recruit such qualified personnel to enable it to conduct its proposed business successfully.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information in this Annual Report and in our other filings with the SECSecurities and Exchange Commission (sometimes referred to herein as the “SEC”) before investing in our Common Stock. Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below, the other information in this Annual Report and the documents incorporated by reference herein when evaluating our Company and our business. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and investors could lose all or a part of the money paid for our Common Stock.

 

INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY MATERIALIZES, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WOULD SUFFER AND OUR SHAREHOLDERS COULD LOSE ALL OR PART OF THEIR INVESTMENT IN OUR SHARES.

 

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY

 

WHILE WE HAVE A LITTLE OVER FOUR YEARS OF OPERATING HISTORY. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT OUR FUTURE OPERATIONS WILL RESULT IN PROFITABLE REVENUES. IF WE CANNOT GENERATE SUFFICIENT REVENUES TO OPERATE PROFITABLY, WE WILL CEASE OPERATIONS AND YOU WILL LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT.

We were incorporated in Nevada on October 1, 2010, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, GE Partners Plc., was formed on September 2, 2009. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we incurred a net loss from operations of $876,744 which included stock compensation to the New Business Managing Director, CEO and CFO valued at $540,000.

If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably, we will cease operations and you will lose your investment in our Company. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent, among other things, upon:

our ability to attract clients who will buy our services from us; and
our ability to generate revenues through the sale of our services.

BECAUSE OUR AUDITORS HAVE ISSUED A GOING CONCERN OPINION, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY THAT WE WILL CONTINUE OPERATIONS IN WHICHTHAT CASE INVESTORS COULD LOSE THEIR INVESTMENTS IN OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such, we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.

 

WE ARE AN “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY” AND WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN IF WE WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN SUCH STATUS OR IF THE REDUCED DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES WILL MAKE OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 or “JOBS Act,” and we may adopt certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirement of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five full fiscal years following our initial public offering.offering of our common equity securities.Note: To date, we have not sold or issued any of our common equity securities under an effective Form S-1, Form S-3, Form S-4 or Form S-8 or other form of registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We would cease to be an emerging growth company, and, therefore, ineligible to rely on the above exemptions, if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenue in a fiscal year, if we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period, or if we have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates as of June 30 in the fiscal year before the end of the five full fiscal years. Additionally, we cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of our reduced disclosures, there may be less active trading in our common stock (assuming a market ever develops) and our stock price may be more volatile.

AS A RESULT OF OUR INTENSELY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY, WE MAY NOT GAIN ENOUGH MARKET SHARE TO BE PROFITABLE.

 

The corporate consulting business isand funds management businesses are intensely competitive and due to our small size and limited resources, we may be at a competitive disadvantage, especially as a public company. There are several firms offering similar services. Many of our competitors have proven track records and substantial human and financial resources, as opposed to our Company who has limited human resources and little cash. Also, the financial burden of being a public company, which will cost us approximately $50,000$75,000 per year in auditing fees and legal fees to comply with our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, will strain our finances and stretch our human resources to the extent that we may have to price our Consultancy service fees higher than our non-publicly held competitors just to cover the costs of being a public company.

 

WE ARE VULNERABLE TO THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CRISISCATASTROPHIC EVENTS WHICH MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR PROFITABILITY AND ABILITY TO CARRY OUT OUR BUSINESS PLAN.

 

We are currently in a severe worldwide economic recession. Runaway deficit spending by the United States governmentpotentially vulnerable to catastrophic events that could affect our profitability and other countries further exacerbates the United States and worldwide economic climate and may delay or possibly deepen the current recession. Currently, a lot of economic indicators such as rising gasoline and commodity prices suggest higher inflation, dwindling consumer confidence and substantially higher taxes. Demand for the services we offer tendsour ability to decline during recessionary periods when disposable revenue is lower and may impact sales ofcarry out our services. In addition,business plan. For example, sudden disruptions in business conditions as amay result of afrom terrorist attackattacks similar to the events of September 11, 2001 in the United States, many other terrorist attacks in Europe and the United States in the past three years, including further attacks, retaliation and the threat of further attacks or retaliation, war, civil unrest in the Middle East, chaotic immigration problems in Europe, adverse weather conditions or other natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina,hurricanes and tsunamis, pandemic situations or large scale power outages can have a short term or, sometimes, long term impact on spending. The worldwide recession is placing severe constraints on the ability of all companies, particularly smaller ones, to raise capital, borrow money, and operate effectively and profitably and to plan for the future.

BECAUSE PETER J. SMITH, OUR PRESIDENT, OWNS 21.34% OF OUR TOTAL OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AND 1,200,000 (60.50%) SHARES OF OUR TOTAL OUTSTANDING PREFERRED STOCK, MR. SMITH WILL RETAIN CONTROL OF US AND WILL BE ABLE TO DECIDE WHO WILL BE DIRECTORS AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ELECT ANY DIRECTORS WHICH COULD DECREASE THE PRICE AND MARKETABILITY OF OUR SHARES.

Peter J. Smith, our President, owns 21.34% of our total outstanding common stock and 60.50% of our total outstanding preferred stock. As a result, Peter J. Smith will own the vast majority of the shares of our Common Stock, a majority of the shares of our preferred stock and super-voting rights attributable to his preferred stock, which allow him to cast ten (10) votes per share of preferred stock and he will be able to elect all of our directors and control our operations, which could decrease the price and marketability of our shares.

BECAUSE OUR BUSINESS MODEL ANTICIPATES OUR RECEIVING EQUITY STAKES IN OUR CLIENTS, MOST OF WHOM WILL BE DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANIES, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESELL SUCH EQUITY AT SUITABLE PRICES, IF AT ALL, WHICH COULD MATERIALLY IMPACT OUR EARNINGS AND ABILITY TO REMAIN IN BUSINESS.

 

Our business model anticipates that we will receive, as partial compensation for our consulting services, equity stakes in our clients, many of whom will be development stage companies. We will have to value those equity stakes at the time we receive them. Investments in development stage companies are risky because many of such companies’ securities are illiquid, thinly traded (if at all) and the value of such securities will be subject to adjustments should the value of such securities decline, should such securities be delisted from an exchange or cease being quoted on a stock quotation medium or should such businesses fail, which could cause us to write-down or write-off the value of such securities and result in a negative impact to our earnings and possibly cause us to cease or curtail our operations.

 

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO FURTHER GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION, INCLUDING THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS.

 

As part of our business model, GEP Equity Holdings Limited accepts equity securities in our clients as partial compensation for our services. Prior to 2012,2016, 40% or more of our income was derived from the receipt of equity securities and more than 40% of our assets were comprised of equity securities that we received in exchange for some of our services. In 2012, only 9.85%2017, none of our income was derived from the receipt of equity securities. As of December 31, 2013, 1.00%2017, 97.6% of our assets were comprised of equity securities. As of December 31, 2014, 3.69%In 2017, we did not receive any new equity or shares in any of our assets were comprisedclients; hence, none of our operating income in 2017 was derived from equity securities albeit we did sell 98,900 shares of equity securities.that we received from a client in prior years.

 

Although we do not believe we are engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, and we do not currently hold ourselves out to the public as being engaged in those activities, it is possible that we may be deemed to be an “inadvertent investment company” under section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“ICA”), if more than 40% of our future income and/or more than 40% of our assets are derived from “investment securities” (as defined in the ICA), and if we are deemed to be, or perceived to be, primarily engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities.

If we were deemed or found to be an investment company by the Securities and Exchange Commission or a court of law, then we would face dire consequences and a maze of additional regulatory obligations. For example, registered investment companies are subject to extensive, restrictive and potentially adverse regulation relating to, among other things, operating methods, management, capital structure, dividends and transactions with affiliates. If it were established that we are an unregistered investment company, there would be a risk, among other material adverse consequences, that we could become subject to monetary penalties or injunctive relief, or both, in an action by the SEC, that we would be unable to enforce contracts with third parties or that third parties with whom we have contracts could seek to obtain rescission of transactions with us undertaken during the period it was established that we were an unregistered investment company.

 

WE COULD BE SUBJECT TO THE INVESTMENT ADVISERS ACT OF 1940, WHICH WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR BUSINESS.

 

Although we do not believe we are engaged in the investment advisory business and we do not hold ourselves out to be investment advisers, it is possible that the SEC could deem or find us to be an unregistered investment adviser due to the types of consulting services offered by us. If we were deemed or found to be an investment adviser by the Securities and Exchange Commission or a court of law, then we would face dire consequences and a maze of additional regulatory obligations. For example, registered investment advisers are subject to extensive, restrictive and potentially adverse regulation relating to, among other things, operating methods, fees, management, capital structure, dividends and transactions with affiliates. If it were established that we are an unregistered investment adviser, there would be a risk, among other material adverse consequences, that we could be become subject to monetary penalties or injunctive relief, or both, in an action by the SEC, that we would be unable to enforce contracts with third parties or that third parties with whom we have contracts could seek to obtain rescission of transactions with us undertaken during the period it was established that we were an unregistered investment adviser.

OUR SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE DILUTED SIGNIFICANTLY THROUGH OUR EFFORTS TO OBTAIN FINANCING, FUND OUR OPERATIONS AND SATISFY OUR OBLIGATIONS THROUGH ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

We will likely have to issue additional shares of our Common Stock to fund our operations and to implement our plan of operation. Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock.stock issued in lieu of cash. Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the 420,677,975424,465,591 authorized, but unissued, shares of our common stock. Future issuances of shares of our common stock will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, may further dilute common stock book value and that dilution may be material.

 

FINRA SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER’S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.

 

The FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,00050,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,“Penny Stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the CommissionSEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

 

Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.

  $224,526  $1,511,178  $(1,286,652)

The total revenue reduced by $1,286,652 due to the fact that we received $419,365 in equity securities in a private company in exchange for services performed during the comparative year ended December 31, 2016.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we did not receive any such equity securities, which resulted in a decrease in revenues when compared to year ended December 31, 2016. The other reason for not taking on any new clients was that management has been concentrating on implementing its inorganic growth model via acquisition of various financial advisory firms with funds under management.

At December 31, 2017, the Company will continue asreported its current liabilities amounting to $1,370,944, which represents a going concern. As discussed in Note 2decrease of 24%. This reduction was mainly due to the financial statements,sale of one of our subsidiaries pursuant to a stock purchase and debt assumption agreement whereby a non-affiliated third party assumed all liabilities and indebtedness of the Company had a losssubsidiary sold that amounted to $626,052.

Stockholder’s Equity:

At December 31, 2016, the Company to continue its operations is dependenthad stockholders´ equity of $1,413,707. At December 31, 2017, the Company had stockholders´ equity of $709,200. We reported accumulated other comprehensive income of $1,181,795 and $0 as at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. This represented the unrealized fair value gain on Management’s plans,available for sale marketable securities which includewas recorded while revaluing the raisingexisting common stock of capital through debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provideda reporting entity held by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. Thethe Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.as at December 31, 2017.

 

The Company expects to use its working capital to implement a marketing program to increase awareness of its business model, which includes, but is not limited to, acquisition of private companies, with the intention of taking those companies public in the United Stateshad 525,534,409 and possibly dual listing those entities abroad. In the event that operating cash flows are slowed or nonexistent, the374,475,775 common shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company plans to reduce its overhead wherever possible.also had issued and outstanding 45,000,000 Series “B” convertible preferred shares as at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company further had issued and outstanding 2,400,000 and -0- Series “C” convertible preferred shares as at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Depending upon market conditions, the Company may not be successful in raising sufficient additional capital to achieve its business objectives. In such event, the business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected hence there is certain doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

E.Liquidity and Capital reserves:

 

The accompanying consolidated 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. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $3,711,173 and net cash used in operations of $293,519 for the year ended December 31, 2017; and accumulated deficit of $10,914,391 as of December 31, 2017. It is management’s opinion that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s intentionability to seek additional debt financing,continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is primarily dependent on:

a)Continually engaging with new clients; and
b)Consummating and executing on current engagements; and
c)Continuing to raise capital funding for acquisition and growth; and
d)Acquiring and managing various financial advisory firms located around the globe.

The Company secured two funding agreements in January of 2018, one with Xantis Private Equity Fund (Luxembourg) for a minimum of 2,000,000 Great Britain Pounds (approximately $2.68 million) and another with William Marshal Plc., a United Kingdom Public Limited Company listed on the Cyprus Public Exchange Emerging Companies Market, for up to a further 2,000,000 Great Britain Pounds (approximately $2.68 million). The Company has a right to pay each note, by issuing common shares, 366 days after each tranche of funding is received, at greater of $0.02 or the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB for the prior 60 trading days.

The Company intends to commence acquiring four licensed financial advisory firms with funds under management during the month of April 2018, two of which we plan to use as additional working capital to implement our marketing program to increase awarenessare based in the United Kingdom and the other two in Malaysia. All four advisory firms currently have an aggregate US$150 million of our business modelfunds under management, non-binding letters of intent have already been agreed and also to expand our operations viasigned, the two year financial statement audits are almost complete and the acquisition documents for all four intended acquisitions are currently being drawn up by legal counsel in the UK and in Malaysia, respectively. Each acquisition will form part of the newly incorporated subsidiary called Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited. These acquisitions will be, in essence, the acquisition of companiesstable and long term recurring and non-recurring revenues.

Once the Company acquires these initial four financial advisory firms, it intends to continue growing in 2018 and 2019 by acquiring more financial advisory firms, three of which have been identified.

The Company intends to assist with listing the shares of its client Blackstone Natural Resources SA, via a reverse merger into an already publicly traded US company, during the coming months.

The Company has gained a significant number of new clients in 2017, most of which are related to our Human Resources division, Kingsman James, in Dubai.

In December 2017, the Company announced that areit had executed a legally binding agreement whereby Mammoth Corporation agreed to suspend further conversion of debt into equity and receive the remaining outstanding debt in six equal and manageable payments commencing January 15, 2018 and ending June 15, 2018. Subject to the agreement, we agreed to allow Mammoth Corporation to execute one final conversion into equity, as it was their contractual right to do so anyway. In order to mitigate this final conversion, both parties agreed that Mammoth Corporation would be limited to a similar spacedribble-out and industry as ours, although we have not identified any companies that we would consider acquiring. However, we do not have any verbal or written agreements with anyoneonly be able to provide us with debt financing. sell at a maximum rate of 15% of the Company´s daily trading volume. This dribble-out selling limitation should inherently allow the Company´s common stock to continue to trade unencumbered.

Any short fall in our projected operating revenues will be covered by:

 

The cash retainer fees and cash success fees that we expect to receive during the next 12 months from the clients we currently have under contract.
Receiving short term loans from one or more of our officersdirectors even though at the present time, we do not have verbal or written commitments from any of our officersdirectors to lend us money.
Continuing to receive capital funding from Xantis Private Equity Fund and William Marshal Plc.
  
Receiving loans from third party lendersLiquidating (selling), when necessary, part or all of our investments and/or investors.Marketable Securities.

effective.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 (1)pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
   
 (2)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and
   
 (3)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014.2017. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control--IntegratedControl—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

 

IDENTIFIED MATERIAL WEAKNESSES AND SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management identified the following internal control deficiency which we had assessed as a material weakness as of December 31, 2014, duringDuring our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as follows:

1.We did not have adequate segregation of duties over certain areas of our financial reporting process.

The internal control deficiency identified above will only be completely corrected if the company expands and has the capacity to adequately segregate the duties to mitigate risk in financial reporting. Expansion will depend mostly on the ability of management to generate enough income to warrant growth in personnel.

We did not have effective comprehensive entity-level internal controls specific to the structure of our board of directors and organization of critical committees. Due to our expected expansion, without correcting this significant deficiency and ensuring that our board of directors has the proper oversight and committees are properly established, the control environment in subsequent years may not be effective.

MANAGEMENT’S REMEDIATION INITIATIVES

We are in the further process of evaluating our material and significant deficiencies. We have already begun to remediate many of the deficiencies. However, others will require additional people, including adding to our board of directors, which will take longer to remediate.

In an effort to remediate the identifiedDecember 31, 2017, no material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

1.Identify and retain one or two new directors for our board of directors including a member who is appropriately credentialed as a financial expert with a goal of having sufficient independent board of directors oversight;
2.Ensure all entity level controls are applied at all levels of the organization and are scalable for acquisition or merger targets;
3.Establish comprehensive formal general accounting policies and procedures and require directors or employees to sign off such policies and procedures as documentation of their understanding of and compliance with company policies;
4.Make all directors or employees subject to our Code of Ethics (including those employees in acquisition targets) and require all employees and directors to sign our Code of Ethics on an annual basis and retain the related documentation; and,
5.Implement better segregation of duties given the size of our company.

We plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by June 30, 2015.were found.

 

CONCLUSION

 

Our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective. The above identified material weaknesses and deficiency did in fact result in certain material audit adjustments to our 2014 financial statements. However, it is reasonably possible that, if not remediated, one or more of the identified material weaknesses noted above could result in a material misstatement in our reported financial statements that might result in a material misstatement in a future annual or interim period.effective.

 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

 

We did not change our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

INDEMNIFICATIONINDEMNIFICATION.

 

Article VII, Section 7 of the Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Nevada.

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes allow us to indemnify our officers, directors, employees, and agents from any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except under certain circumstances. Indemnification may only occur if a determination has been made that the officer, director, employee, or agent acted in good faith and in a manner, which such person believed to be in the best interests of the corporation. A determination may be made by the shareholders; by a majority of the directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding confirmed by opinion of independent legal counsel; or by opinion of independent legal counsel in the event a quorum of directors who were not a party to such action, suit, or proceeding does not exist.

The expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by us as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, if and only if the officer or director undertakes to repay said expenses to us if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by us.

 

The indemnification and advancement of expenses may not be made to or on behalf of any officer or director if a final adjudication establishes that the officer’s or director’s acts or omission involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action.

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes allow a company to indemnify our officers, directors, employees, and agents from any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except under certain circumstances. Indemnification may only occur if a determination has been made that the officer, director, employee, or agent acted in good faith and in a manner, which such person believed to be in the best interests of the corporation. A determination may be made by the stockholders; by a majority of the directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding confirmed by opinion of independent legal counsel; or by opinion of independent legal counsel in the event a quorum of directors who were not a party to such action, suit, or proceeding does not exist.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATIONINDEMNIFICATION.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the company, we have been advised by our special securities counsel that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

ITEM 12.SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

ITEM 12.SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

 

The following tables set forth, as of the date of this Annual Report, the ownership of our common stock and preferred stock by (a) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock and preferred stock; and (b) by all of named officers and our directors and by all of our named executive officers and directors as a group. To the best of our knowledge, the persons named have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares and are beneficial owners of the shares indicated in the tables, except as otherwise noted by footnote.

 

The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of:

Argentum 47, Inc. (Formerly known as Global Equity International, Inc.)

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Argentum 47, Inc. (formerly known as Global Equity International, Inc.). and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss and cash used in operations of $3,711,173 and $293,519, respectively in 2017 and has an accumulated deficit of $10,914,391, at December 31, 2017. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s Plan in regards to these matters is also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations

Argentum 47, Inc., formerly Global Equity International Inc. (the “Company” or “ARG”), a reporting company since June 21, 2012, was organized under the laws of the state of Nevada on October 1, 2010. Global Equity Partners, Plc. (“GEP”), a private company, was organized under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles on September 2, 2009. On November 15, 2010, GEP executed a reverse recapitalization with ARG. On August 22, 2014, we formed a Dubai subsidiary of GEP called GE Professionals DMCC. On June 10, 2016, ARG incorporated its wholly owned subsidiary, called GEP Equity Holdings Limited (“GEP EH”), under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. On March 14, 2017, the Company´s board of directors unanimously voted to transfer the ownership of GE Professionals DMCC (Dubai) to GEP EH. On June 5, 2017, the Company sold 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of its GEP to a citizen of the Republic of Thailand by entering into a Stock Purchase and Debt Assumption Agreement (See Note 5). On December 12, 2017, ARG incorporated another wholly owned subsidiary, called Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited (“Argentum”), under the Companies Act 2006 of England and Wales as a private limited company.

On March 29, 2018, the Company formally changed its name from Global Equity International, Inc. to Argentum 47, Inc.

The Company´s consolidated annual revenues are entirely generated from business consulting services and employment placement services.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All amounts in the consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars.

Note 3 - Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated 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. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $3,711,173 and net cash used in operations of $293,519 for the year ended December 31, 2017; and accumulated deficit of $10,914,391 as of December 31, 2017. It is management’s opinion that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance date of this report.

The ability for the Company to continue its operations is primarily dependent on:

a)Continually engaging with new clients, and
b)Consummating and executing current engagements, and
c)Continuing to receive fixed funding, via equity or debt, for acquisition and growth; and
d)Acquiring and managing various financial advisory firms with funds under management located around the globe. The Company intends to commence acquiring four licensed financial advisory firms with funds under management during the month of April 2018, two of which are based in the United Kingdom and the other two in Malaysia. All four advisory firms currently have an aggregate US$150 million of funds under management, non-binding letters of intent have already been agreed and signed, the two year financial statement audits are almost complete and the acquisition documents for all four intended acquisitions are currently being drawn up by legal counsel in the UK and in Malaysia, respectively. These acquisitions will be, in essence, the acquisition of stable and long-term recurring and non-recurring revenues. Once the Company acquires these initial four financial advisory firms, during 2018 and 2019, it intends to continue growing by way of acquiring more financial advisory firms.

Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

Argentum 47, Inc. (ARG) is the parent company of its two 100% subsidiaries called GEP Equity Holdings Limited (GEP EH) and Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited (Argentum). Up to June 5, 2017, ARG also owned 100% shareholding of a subsidiary called Global Equity Partners Plc., date that the subsidiary was sold pursuant to a stock purchase and debt assumption agreement. GEP EH is the parent company of its 100% owned subsidiary, GE Professionals DMCC (Dubai). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation, or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include allowance for doubtful accounts and loans, estimates of fair value of securities received for services, estimates of fair value of securities held, depreciation of fixed assets, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, derivative valuations and equity valuations for non-cash equity grants.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, competition and potential risk of business failure. The risk of social and governmental factors is also a concern since the Company is headquartered in Dubai.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company recognizes accounts receivable in connection with the services provided. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. There was no allowance for bad debt at December 31, 2017 and 2016. However, there were direct write-offs of $30,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Foreign currency policy

The Company’s accounting policies related to the consolidation and accounting for foreign operations are as follows: The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s Dubai subsidiary is the Arab Emirates Dirham (AED) and the functional currency of the Company’s UK subsidiary is Great Britain Pounds (GBP). All foreign currency balances and transactions are translated into United States dollars “$” and/or “USD” as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of our stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the non-operating income or expenses of the statement of operations.

Investments

(A) Classification of Securities

Marketable Securities

At the time of the acquisition, a marketable security is designated as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading, which depends on the ability and intent to hold such security to maturity. Securities classified as trading and available-for-sale are reported at fair value, while securities classified as held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost.

Any unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains (losses) are computed on a specific identification basis and are reflected in the statement of operations.

Cost Method Investments

Securities that are not classified as marketable securities are accounted for under the cost method. These securities are recorded at their original cost basis and are subject to impairment testing.

(B) Other than Temporary Impairment

The Company reviews its equity investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other than temporary and require the recognition of an impairment loss in the statement of operations. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investments. Management also considers the type of security, related-industry and sector performance, as well as published investment ratings and analyst reports, to evaluate its portfolio. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, the Company may incur future impairments. The Company recorded a permanent impairment of $1,601,336 during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided based on estimated useful lives of the assets. Cost of improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to expense when incurred. In case of sale or disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated financial statements.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records any “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) intrinsic value as additional paid in capital and related debt discount.

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is amortized over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Debt Issue Costs

The Company may pay debt issue costs in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt whether convertible or not or with other consideration. These costs are recorded as debt discounts and are amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as amortization of debt discount.

Original Issue Discount

If debt is issued with an original issue discount, the original issue discount is recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as amortization of debt discount. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. Upon conversion of a note where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, the Company records the shares at fair value, relieves all related notes, derivatives and debt discounts and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from the services we provide, when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been performed; (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, the contract terms for these services are relatively short in duration.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

We receive consideration in the form of cash and/or securities. We recognize cash consideration as revenues as the services are performed either on a pro rata basis or on a milestone basis.

Securities received as consideration are often earned at a point in time when the specified event occurs and the securities are issued to us. Therefore, we measure and recognize these securities received at fair value on the date of receipt. If securities are received in advance of completion of our services, the fair value will be recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue as the services are completed.

All revenues are generated from clients whose operations are based outside of the United States. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had the following concentrations of revenues with customers:

Customer  Location December 31, 2017  December 31, 2016

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents fees that have been received by the Company for requested services that have not been completed. Following table illustrates the movement in deferred revenue during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016:

Balance, December 31, 2015 $839,130 
New payments received during the year  120,000 
Cash deferred revenue recognized as revenue during the year  (482,500)
Securities deferred revenue recognized as revenue during the year  (276,630)
Balance, December 31, 2016 $200,000 
New payments received during the year  - 
Cash deferred revenue recognized as revenue during the year  (100,000)
Deferred revenue eliminated due to the stock purchase and debt assumption agreement (See Note 5)  (100,000)
Balance, December 31, 2017 $- 

Share-based payments

The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments to employees, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants at their fair value on the grant date, which is based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

Share based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable as of the measurement date. Amounts received prior to the measurement date are adjusted to fair value at each reporting period until a measurement date is achieved.The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period.

Share based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes pricing model.

When computing fair value, the Company considered the following variables:

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the share based payment in effect at the time of the grant.
The expected term is developed by management estimate.
The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the near future.
The expected volatility is based on management estimates which are based upon our historical volatility.
The forfeiture rate is based on historical experience.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the carrying amount of deferred income tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.

On November 15, 2010, the date of the reverse recapitalization, the Company became subject to U.S. federal and the state of Nevada income taxes. The Company files an unconsolidated income tax return to the tax authorities in U.S.

On December 22, 2017, the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), a tax reform bill, which, among other items, reduces the current federal income tax rate to 21% from 34%. The rate reduction is effective January 1, 2018, and is permanent. The Act has caused the Company’s deferred income taxes to be revalued. As changes in tax laws are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through income tax expense. Pursuant to the guidance within SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), as of December 31, 2017, the Company recognized the provisional effects of the enactment of the Act for which measurement could be reasonably estimated. The ultimate impact of the Act may differ from these estimates due to the Company’s continued analysis or further regulatory guidance that may be issued as a result of the Act.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company will record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no penalties or interest related to income tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

At December 31, 2016, we accrued an IRS fine of $10,000 plus $492 of interest on account of a late filing of our 2013 IRS Form 5472 Tax Return. After appealing this fine to IRS Appeals Office, this fine of $10,492 was abated in full. We were further subjected to a fine of $10,000 on account of late filing fee of our 2014 IRS form 5472 Tax Return which was also reduced by 50% due to timely submission of subsequent year tax returns. Hence, during the year ended December 31, 2017, we accrued $5,000 as a provision for late filing fee for 2014 IRS Form 5472 Tax Return. (See Note 8(b))

The Company may be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and state taxing authorities for the 2015, 2016 and 2017 tax years.

The Company’s two subsidiaries, Global Equity Partners Plc. (sold and ceased to be a subsidiary on June 5, 2017) and GEP Equity Holdings Limited, were incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles (“Seychelles”). A company is only subject to Seychelles income tax if it does business in Seychelles. A company that is incorporated in Seychelles, but that does not do business in Seychelles, is not subject to income tax there. None of these two subsidiaries did business in Seychelles for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and do not intend to do business in Seychelles in the future. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to income tax in Seychelles for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. All business activities were performed by GEP Equity Holdings Limited in Dubai for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Dubai does not have an income tax. Newly incorporated UK subsidiary, Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited, was incorporated under the laws of England and Wales On December 12, 2017. There was no business transacted from this subsidiary in 2017, hence there is no income tax impact during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Earnings per Share

The basic net earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.

As at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had common stock equivalents of 45,828,807 and 2,941,176 common shares respectively, in the form of convertible notes, which, if converted, would be dilutive. See Note 8(F). These common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effects would have been anti-dilutive due to the net losses.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accounts payable to related parties and loans payable to related parties, approximate fair value are based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company measures its derivative liabilities at fair market value on a recurring basis and measures its non-marketable securities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Consequently, the Company may have gains and losses reported in the statement of operations.

The following is the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

  December 31, 2017  December 31, 2016 
Level 1 –Marketable Securities – Recurring $2,029,340  $- 
Level 3 – Non-Marketable Securities – Non-recurring $136  $3,085,322 

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value:

Marketable Securities — The Level 1 position consists of the Company’s investment in equity securities of stock held in publically traded companies. The valuation of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Changes in Level 1 marketable securities measured at fair value for the year ended December 31, 2017 were as follows:

Balance, December 31, 2016 $- 
Securities transferred from long term investments valued at cost  880,850 
Unrealized gains (losses) recorded during the year  1,181,675 
Sales and settlements during the year  (33,185)
Balance, December 31, 2017 $2,029,340 

Non-Marketable Securities at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis — Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The level 3 position consist of investments accounted for under the cost method. The Level 3 position consists of investments in equity securities held in private companies.

Management believes that an “other-than-temporary impairment” would be justified, as according to ASC 320-10 an investment is considered impaired when the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost basis. The impairment is considered either temporary or other-than-temporary. The accounting literature does not define other-than-temporary. It does, however, state that other-than-temporary does not mean permanent, although, all permanent impairments are considered other-than-temporary. The literature does provide some examples of factors, which may be indicative of an “other-than-temporary impairment”, such as:

the length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost;
the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and
the intent and ability of the holder to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Management believes that the fair value of its investment has been correctly measured, as the length of time that the stock has been less than cost is nominal.

Changes in Level 3 assets measured at fair value for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

Balance, December 31, 2015 $2,650,471 
Realized and unrealized gains (losses)  - 
Securities received for services during the year  453,965 
Sales and settlements during the year  (19,114)
Balance, December 31, 2016  3,085,322

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no new accounting pronouncements that we expect to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements other than discussed below:

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This update is intended to improve the financial reporting requirements for revenue from contracts with customers by providing a principle-based approach. The core principle of the standard is that revenue should be recognized when the transfer of promised goods or services is made in an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of goods and services. The update also requires disclosures enabling users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. On July 9, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of this guidance by one year. On March 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies how an entity determines if it is a principal or an agent for each specified good or service promised to the customer, the nature of each specified good or service, and how an entity that is principal obtains control of a good and service provided by another party involved in providing goods or services to a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies the guidance related to whether goods or services are distinct within the context of contract and therefore a performance obligation and the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for IP licenses. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provides clarifying guidance in certain narrow areas and added some practical expedients. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Technical Corrections and Improvements, which provides clarifying guidance in certain technical areas. The standard and related amendments will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, but not before the original date of financial statements issued by public companies for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 16, 2017. After evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements, management believes that there would be no material effect.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flow (Topic 230). This update is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The update provides new guidance regarding the classification of debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies including bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investments, beneficial interests in securitized transactions, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The standard will be applied in a retrospective approach for each period presented. We have completed an initial evaluation of this standard, which requires cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities. We have determined that there were no cash payments involved in debt extinguishment during the year ended December 31, 2017, hence there will be no potential impact on our financial statements due to this update. We will continue to evaluate the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

On October 9, 2013, the Company secured a two-month loan for GBP 75,000 (equivalent to $120,420) with the understanding that the Company will issue 10,000 common restricted shares, issued to the lender on December 7, 2013, and also repay 35,000 GBP (equivalent to $56,196) in lieu of interest. As the principal and interest was not paid back to the lender on time, the Company compensated the lender with an additional 20,000 common restricted shares and for this the lender agreed to a five-month extension. This stock compensation was issued to the lender also on December 12, 2013. Total accrued interest as at December 31, 2016 was $106,196. The Company also accrued $184,656 provision for potential damages due to the litigation in the Dubai Courts as of December 31, 2016, which was included in “Accrued contingencies and penalties” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. (See Note 8(B)).
On June 5, 2017, a citizen of Republic of Thailand assumed the above principal loan amount of $120,420, accrued interest of $106,196 and accrued damages of $184,656 by way of a stock purchase and debt assumption agreement. Hence the Company’s liabilities in respect of this loan were transferred to the acquiring individual. (See Note 5)
On October 17, 2013, the Company secured a three-month bridge loan for 200,000 GBP (equivalent to $319,598) with the agreement to repay the principal plus 5% per month interest on or before January 18, 2014. The note holder received, as a form of guarantee, 1,600,000 shares of Direct Security Integration Inc. and the note holder is currently trying to sell these shares. The shares used as a form of guarantee formed part of the assets of our Company.

On August 27, 2015, the Company secured a six-month non-convertible loan for $135,000 carrying an original issue discount of $30,000. In addition, the company agreed to pay $5,000 to the note holder to cover their legal costs and the interest will not be accrued on the outstanding principal balance unless an event of default occurs.
On March 18, 2016, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with the same lender whereby original purchase agreement dated August 27, 2015 was exchanged with the new agreement to extend the loan repayment term until April 17, 2016. The total exchange price for $135,000 of principal of the old Note was as follows:

$135,000 principal of new Note, and
an issuance of 1,000,000 common shares to the lender as exchange shares.

Also, in the new note, there was an addition of a conversion option that the lender has right at any time after the exchange date until the outstanding balance has been paid in full, to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into common shares of the Company at a fixed conversion price of $0.025. There was no beneficial conversion feature as the conversion price was higher than the current market value of the Company´s stock at that time. Since a conversion option was added to the note in the March 18, 2016 modification, this modification was accounted for as a debt extinguishment on that date and $25,200 was recognized as loss on debt extinguishment.

On April 28, 2016, St. George decided not to opt for converting the principal loan to common shares. Instead, on April 28, 2016, the Company renegotiated the loan terms, further extending the repayment to July 1, 2016. The terms of this further extension were a one-time 10% interest payment of $13,500 to be added to the principal of $135,000 and the issuance of 3,000,000 common shares. The Company accounted for this further extension as a debt extinguishment of previous extension dated March 18, 2016 and $58,200 was recognized as loss on debt extinguishment comprising of $13,500 of interest payment and $44,700 for issuance of 3,000,000 common shares of the Company valued at a fair value of $0.0149 on the date of new exchange.

On July 1, 2016, after receipt of $148,500 from Mammoth Corporation (New Lender), St. George (Previous Lender) assigned and transferred to the Mammoth Corporation all of its rights, title and interest in and to the promissory note initially issued by the Company to St. George Investments LLC in the amount of $148,500 dated April 28, 2016. The Company re-negotiated the loan terms with new lender (Mammoth Corporation) after the above assignment and issued a restated 9-month convertible promissory note amounting to $163,350 dated July 1, 2016. The terms of this exchanged note were a one-time 10% increase in the principal loan of $14,850, increasing the principal sum from $148,500 to $163,350. The new lender also has a right, at any time after the issue date of revised note until the outstanding balance has been paid in full, to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into common shares of the Company at a fixed conversion price of $0.017. The fair value of stock as on the date of exchange was $0.0197. This indicated a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) of the Note as the conversion price is lower than the fair value of the Company´s stock as on July 1, 2016. The Company accounted for the difference arising due to BCF amounting to $25,944 as a debt discount with a corresponding effect to additional paid in capital. Interest on unpaid principal balance shall not accrue during the term of the note unless an event of default occurs. The Company accounted for this exchange as a debt extinguishment of previous note dated April 28, 2016 and $14,850 was further recognized as loss on debt extinguishment.

This indicated a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) of the Note as the conversion price is lower than the fair value of the Company stock as on February 23, 2017. The Company accounted for the difference arising due to BCF amounting to $9,754 as a debt discount with a corresponding effect to additional paid in capital. Interest on unpaid principal balance shall not accrue during the term of the note unless an event of default occurs.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

The US parent entity´s expenses are funded by the foreign subsidiaries through a management fee, which is, included in the US parent´s unconsolidated US annual income tax return as taxable revenues.

The Company has not recorded deferred income taxes applicable to undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiaries because there are cumulative losses in those subsidiaries through December 31, 2017. In the future, the Company does not intend to record deferred income taxes applicable to undistributed future earnings of the foreign subsidiaries because it is the present intention of management to reinvest the undistributed earnings indefinitely in those foreign subsidiaries.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers that whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of December 31, 2016, a valuation allowance of approximately $(108,904) was provided in the accompanying financial statements based upon the levels of historical taxable income and the limited experience of the Company, the Company believed that it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be able to realize the benefits of some or all of these deductible differences. As of December 31, 2017, all of the valuation allowance amounting to $(108,904) has been applied to the current years’ income tax computation of $111,736; thereby a provision for income tax of approximately $2,832 has been provided in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2017.

The Company is not subject to any foreign income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company may be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and state taxing authorities for the 2015, 2016 and 2017 tax years.

As the principal and interest was not paid back to the lender on time, the Company compensated the lender with an additional 20,000 restricted shares of common stock in consideration for a for a five-month extension on the loan.

(Formerly known as Global Equity International, Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2017 and 2016

During 2015 and 2016, the Company’s Dubai lawyers, Al Safar & Partners, had appealed this judgment various times based on the fact that they believed from a legal stand point that:

1)the Company (the defendant) has not been heard, which is a violation of the fundamental principle of law “Audi Alteram Partem”.
2)there is no legal existence of Global Equity Partners Plc. in Dubai, as it is a Republic of Seychelles corporation; hence, the Courts of Dubai have no jurisdiction in the matter.

All prior appeals were rejected by the Dubai Courts, however a new appeal against the formal execution of this judgement was filed in September 2016. At March 31, 2017, the Company was in litigation, in the courts of Dubai, regarding the Able Foundation loan.

On June 5, 2017, a citizen of Republic of Thailand assumed the above total amount of $411,272 by way of a stock purchase and debt assumption agreement; hence, the Company’s liability and respective litigation in respect of this loan was transferred to the acquiring individual (See Note 5).

On March 6, 2018, the Company provided the Dubai attorneys with a signed, stamped and apostilled Certificate of Incumbency issued by the Seychelles Authorities. This Certificate of Incumbency stated that as of June 5, 2017, the company, Global Equity Partners Plc., was sold to a citizen of the Republic of Thailand and that the new owner assumed his role as sole shareholder and sole director of Global Equity Partners Plc. as of the date of sale.

To date, the Dubai attorneys are in the process of transferring the entire court case to the new owner of Global Equity Partners Plc.

Aside from the above matter, we are not subject to any other pending or threatened litigation.

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation or disputes relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2017, we were in dispute with a former client regarding certain payments that we made on behalf of this former client. On June 5, 2017, the underlying deferred revenue liability was transferred to the acquiring individual as part of the stock purchase and debt assumption agreement. (See Note 5)

Commitments

On November 6, 2017, the Company renewed its rent agreement for its head office at Dubai for a further period of one year amounting to a reduced rental of $29,942 per annum (from November 2017 until October 2018).
