All four currently have an aggregate US$150 million of funds under management.

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 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.

FUTURE PLANS

MILESTONES FOR 2016:2018-2019:

Our specific plan of operations and milestones through March 2017 are as follows:

To date, we have 158 clients under contract that we deem to be active and are either seeking a listing on a recognized stock exchange or quoted on the OTC Markets or seeking funding for acquisition and growth:growth or seeking Human Resources Recruitment services:

Our specific plan of operations and milestones through March 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:

DEVELOP THE INTRODUCER NETWORK FURTHER IN ORDER TO CONTINUE ATTRACTING NEW INTEREST FOR OUR SERVICES.

We currently are relying on introductions to potential clients by the following firms in the Middle East, South East Asia, Europe and the US:

We intend to develop relationships with a further six “introducers” to potential new business for the Company within the next 12 months.

REBRANDING OF OUR ENTIRE CORPORATE STRUCTURE

During next 12 months, we believe that we have the capacity to sign at least another 12 new clients in various sectors and located around the globe.

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.

We will continue to establish a firm presence in South East Asia where we are attracting clients, relationships and awareness.

Within the next 12 months, we plan to open an office on the east coast of the USA in order to substantially expand our network of introducers to new business and also professionals and consultants.

We intend to form relationships with mergerrebrand our business and acquisition specialists duringanalyze our entire corporate structure. We will adapt the next 12 months, whichnew brand towards the Financial Advisory firms that we will hopefully enable us to: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.

EXPAND OUR HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT IN DUBAI – KINGSMAN JAMES.

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.

The Company created an in-house human resources department called “Kingsman James” (http://kingsmanjames.com/kingsmanjames.com) with a view to be able to provide its existing clients and other new clients with the possibility of restructuring their companiescompanies’ management with seasoned professionals, if required. We intend to continue expanding this human resources department throughout the next 12 months.

EXPAND OUR NETWORK OF CONTACTS WITHIN THE INVESTMENT COMMUNITY

During the next 12 months, we intend to substantially expand our Middle Eastern, South East Asian and also our USU.S. networks in order to enable us to make introductions on a more institutional level. At present, we are being received with open arms by all of the financial communities with whom we have contact; hence, we have plans to host various hospitality events for our current clients, our key contacts and upper management of the Company.

We intend to take our consultancy service outside of the Middle East and Europe and into Asia and Sri Lanka. We will expand on a “Commission Only” basis for the individuals or companies who take on our service to offer to their clients. 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 at least two new members to our administration team during the next 12 months.

We will continue working on different “Road shows” in Dubai, Europe, South East Asia and the US.

We intend to cement the relationships created. The target markets for attracting clients are: Thailand, Sri Lanka, China, Hong Kong and Singapore. To service the clients generated from these markets, we will spend time creating a network of service companies who we can utilize to assist us on a local basis. We will explore the possibilities of dual listings for our clients in Singapore to allow us a local market for any Asian clients we will attract and giving the Company a firm foothold in the Asian territory.

FURTHER EXPAND OUR RANGE OF BUSINESS AND CONTACTS

We will explore alternative methods of servicing our clients by utilizing contacts already made in Europe to allow us to offer a wider service to our current and future clients. We will have a focus on Singapore, United Kingdom and Canada for this expansion

NEW OFFICES

Once we have acquired the initial four Financial Advisory firms in the United Kingdom and Malaysia, we will have four offices in total, one in Dubai, one in the 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 Kuala Lumpur operation to open an office in Bangkok (Thailand) where we have an opportunity to attract several financial advisors under our 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 REQUIREMENTS.

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 are not 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 REGULATIONS.

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 20162019 fiscal 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 EMPLOYEES.

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

BECAUSE OUR AUDITORS HAVE ISSUED A GOING CONCERN OPINION, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY THAT WE WILL CONTINUE OPERATIONS IN THAT 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 whichwho 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 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 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. As of December 31, 2015, 94.42% of our assets were comprised 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 remaining 173,834,027424,465,591 authorized, but unissued, shares of our common stock net of the issued and reserved of 776,165,973 and 50,000,000 respectively.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 50,000,000 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.

We have no preferred stock45,000,000 shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock outstanding at this time.time, which shares are owned by our management. We have 2,400,000 shares of Series “C” Preferred Stock outstanding at this time, which shares are owned by our management. All shares of our Series “B” and “C” Preferred Stock are contractually locked-up until September 27, 2020; hence, such shares cannot be sold or converted into common stock on any prior date.

We have an additional 2,600,000 shares of Series “C” Preferred Stock authorized and designated, but not issued or outstanding.

We no longer have any shares of Series “A” Preferred Stock authorized, designated or outstanding.

ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

On October 9, 2013, the Company secured a two month loan for GBP 75,000 (equivalentWe are not subject to $120,420) and issued 10,000 restricted shares of common stock to the lender, The Able Foundation, on December 7, 2013, and also repaid 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 restricted shares of common stock in consideration for a five month extension on the loan. This stock compensation was issued to the lender also on December 12, 2013. The Company is currently in litigation, in the courts of Dubai, regarding the Able Foundation loan.

The plaintiff, the Able Foundation, is requesting a settlement of $411,272, which is the $226,616 currently owed, and an additional $184,656 accrued in 2015 as a provision for potential damages.

On, June 1, 2015, the Company (the defendant) retained the legal services of a Dubai based law firm called Al Safar & Partners. Currently, there is a judgment against the Company (the defendant) for the recovery of $411,272.
