GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the Company had approximately $48$60 in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $7,915$2,554 in negative working capital, a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $4,032$2,549 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $14,419.$16,525. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and revenue from operations. Management anticipates their business will require substantial additional investments that have not yet been secured. Management is continuing in the process of fund raising in the private equity and capital markets as the Company will need to finance future activities. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

REVERSE SPLIT

 

The Company completed a reverse stock split of its common stock, by filing articles of amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of Florida to effect the Reverse Stock Split on August 8, 2018. As a result of the reverse stock split, the following changes have occurred (i) every three hundred shares of common stock have been combined into one share of common stock; (ii) the number of shares of common stock underlying each common stock option, common stock warrant or any other convertible instrument of the Company have been proportionately decreased on a 300-for-1 basis, and the exercise price of each such outstanding stock option, common warrant or any other convertible instrument of the Company have been proportionately increased on a 300-for-1 basis. Accordingly, all option numbers, share numbers, warrant numbers, share prices, warrant prices, exercise prices and losses per share have been adjusted within these consolidated financial statements, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 300-for-1 reverse stock split. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, each holder of common stock who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share was entitled to receive one full share for the fraction of a share to which he or she was entitled.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements presented herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the for the nine- months and three-monthssix-months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. However, these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions for the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017,2018, filed with the SEC on June 4, 2018April 15, 2019 (the “Annual Report”). For further information, reference is made to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, certain revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for allowances for bad debts, stock-based compensation collectability of loans receivable, potential impairment losses of intangible assets and goodwill, and fair value calculations related to embedded derivative features of outstanding convertible notes payable and other financial instruments.

 

Revenue recognition

The Company follows ASC 606 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. Adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. The Company primarily generates revenues through the sale of prepaid calling minutes to consumers through its Tel3 division and the sale of wholesale telecom minutes through its Limecom subsidiary. While the Company collects payment for prepaid consumer minutes in advance, revenue is recognized upon delivery to and consumption of minutes by the consumer or upon the forfeiture of minutes with forfeitures occurring after 12 consecutive months of non-use.

Consumer Prepaid Minutes Revenues

 

The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of prepaid telecommunications minutes directly to consumers at the retail level. While the Company collects payment for prepaid consumer minutes in advance, revenue is recognized upon delivery to and consumption of minutes by the consumer or upon the forfeiture of minutes with forfeitures occurring after 12 consecutive months of non-use. Generally, consumers will prepay a fixed dollar amount then consume the prepayment upon making telephone calls on the Company’s telecommunications network. Revenues from direct to consumer retail sales were $266 and $469 and $1,118 and $1,463 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Wholesale Telecommunications Revenues

The Company recognizes revenues from the brokering of sales of minutes from one telecommunications carrier to another. The Company receives an order for a defined number of minutes to a defined geographic region at which point it sources those minutes and purchases them with an immediate resale to the customer. Revenues from wholesale telecommunications minutes were $20,297 and $0 and $60,352 and $0 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue is comprised mainly of unearned revenue related to prepayments from retail consumers for telecommunications minutes. The following table represents the changes in deferred revenue for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018:2019:

 

Deferred Revenue

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represent contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized (“contracted not recognized”). Contracted not recognized revenue was $561$524 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, of which the Company expects to recognize 100% of the revenue over the next 12 months.

Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

The Company has elected to immediately expense contract acquisition costs that would be amortized in one year or less. The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the benefit of those costs is expected to be longer than one year. There were no capitalized contract acquisition costs as of September 30, 2018.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess cost over the fair value of the assets of an acquired business. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination accounted for as a purchase and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed periodically for impairment. The Company evaluates the possible impairment of goodwill annually as part of its reporting process for the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company determines the fair value of each subsidiary the goodwill relates to and compares the fair value to the carrying amount of the subsidiary. To the extent the carrying amount of the subsidiary exceeds the fair value of it, an impairment loss is recorded.

Amortization of intangible assets for each of the next five years and thereafter is expected to be as follows:

Year ended December 31,   
2018  107 
2019  429 
2020  429 
2021  429 
2022  429 
Thereafter  791 
Total  2,614 

Amortization expense was $107 and $356 and $0 and $0 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Amortization expense for each period is included in cost of revenue.

 

Derivative and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt under ASC 470, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments under ASC 815.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.

 

Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payables, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values.

 

Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of income.

 

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted average number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

At September 30, 2018, the Company had one outstanding convertible note payable with conversion rights that are exercisable. The amount of outstanding principal on this convertible note is $0 plus accrued interest of $5 for total convertible debt as of September 30, 2018 of $5 representing 2,506 new dilutive common shares if converted at the applicable rates. Additionally, the Company has committed to issue a total of 179,851 shares of common stock for the settlement of a related party note payable and services which are not yet issued or outstanding. The effects of this note and total common shares committed to be issued have been excluded from net income per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had eighteen outstanding convertible notes payable with conversion rights that are exercisable. The amount of outstanding principal on these convertible notes total $985 plus accrued interest of $388 for total convertible debts as of September 30, 2017 of $1,328 representing 243,268 new dilutive common shares if converted at the applicable rates. The effects of these notes have been included in net income per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and excluded from the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders for the period ended September 30, 2018 is as the follow:

Net income (loss) before controlling interest70
Reallocation of stock-based compensation164
Reallocation of Gain from Change in fair value of stock-based liabilities(2,191)
Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders(1,957)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, potentially dilutive securities consisted of 179,851 shares which the Company is obligated to issue and 162,044 options to purchase of common stock at prices ranging from $3 to $54 per share. Of these potentially dilutive securities, only 179,851 shares which the Company is obligated to issue and 90,000 options to purchase of common stock at price of $3 per share are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of including the remaining instruments would be anti-dilutive.

Reclassified Amounts

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications did not have material effect on the reported results of operations, shareholder’s deficit or cash flows.

 

Recent Accounting Standards announced

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments apply to reporting entities that are required to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements and should improve the cost, benefit, and effectiveness of the disclosures. ASU 2018-13 categorized the changes into those disclosures that were removed, those that were modified, and those that were added. The primary disclosures that were removed related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 investments, along with the policy for timing of transfers between levels. In addition, disclosing the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements was removed. The amendments are effective for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company notes that this guidance will impact its disclosures beginning January 1, 2020. 

 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements


 

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 (ASU 2016-01) “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. We adopted ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018 which resulted in a $300 reclassification of net unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive income to the retained earnings. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 increases the volatility of our other income (expense), net, as a result of the remeasurement of our equity securities.

NOTE 3 – NOTES PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLESTOCK OPTIONS

Notes Payable

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company entered into two separate loans to be paid by collection of its future accounts receivable and secured by substantially all assets of the Company including accounts receivable, cash, equipment, intangible assets, inventory and other receivables. The first loan resulted in cash proceeds of $125 to the Company for future payments totaling $169 from future receivables and requires daily repayments of $1. The second resulted in cash proceeds of $50 for future payments totaling $68 from future receivables and requires daily cash repayments of $10. There was $0 and $46 due for the agreements as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, included in current notes payable.

On May 1, 2017, the Company received a loan from an unrelated party for $25. The loan is due on demand and as such is included in current notes payable. The note does not accrue interest and had a principal balance due of $25 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

On April 25, 2018, the Company entered into a loan agreement to be paid by collection of its future accounts receivable and secured by substantially all assets of the Company including accounts receivable, cash, equipment, intangible assets, inventory and other receivables. The loan resulted in cash proceeds to the Company of $180 for future payments totaling $234 from future receivables and requires daily repayments of $2. There was $0 and $0 due as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, included in current notes payable.

Convertible Notes Payable

The Company has entered into a series of convertible notes payable to fund operations. While with differing noteholders, the terms of the outstanding convertible notes are substantially similar and accrue interest at 8% annually with a default interest rate of 24% and allow for the conversion of outstanding principal and interest to common stock at a price equal to 45% to 50% from the lowest trading price in the preceding 20 days.

The Company settled the majority of its convertible notes payable in December 2017 for a combination of cash and shares of common stock. An additional convertible note payable was settled in January 2018 for a combination of cash and shares of common stock.

NOTE 4 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The Company analyzed the conversion features of the convertible notes payable as discussed inNote 3 – Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that the embedded conversion features should be classified as a derivative liability because the exercise price of these convertible notes are subject to a variable conversion rate.  The Company has determined that the conversion feature is not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and is therefore not afforded equity treatment. In accordance with AC 815, the Company has bifurcated the conversion feature of the note and recorded a derivative liability.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had a $64 derivative liability on the balance sheet and recorded gains from derivative liability fair value adjustments of $27 and $483 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The derivative liability activity comes from convertible notes payable as discussed inNote 3Notes Payable and Convertible Notes Payable. In addition to derivative liabilities associated with convertible notes payable, the Company recorded a derivative liability due to a ratchet strike price feature associated with the options issued in the sale of TPP, taking into account the effect of the reverse stock split (seeNote 9 – Stockholders’ Equity), the options are exercisable at $54 per share unless the Company’s common stock is quoted at a price greater than $150 per share at which point the options are exercisable at $90 per share.

The Company has restated its statement of operations and statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to correct an error in the treatment of the disposal of a subsidiary. The Company had originally recorded the elimination of the non-controlling interest component of equity of the sold subsidiary as an equity only transaction by absorbing $2,541 of non-controlling interest equity into that of the Company. The correct treatment of the disposal necessitates the amount of non-controlling interest to be included in the calculation of the gain or loss on the disposal of a subsidiary recognized through the income statement. The impact to the financial statements is an increase in loss from discontinued operations and net loss by $2,541 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and no changerevenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Net loss per common share increasedJune, 2018 from $0.00 as originally stated to $2.73 as restated for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 with no change for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

NOTE 107 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

On April 7, 2016, the Company executed an agreement with a service provider to provide certain services for the Company. In addition to cash and stock compensation, the agreement requires 1% of the outstanding common share equivalent to be issued to the third party when the market capitalization of the Company reaches $500 and an additional 1% when it reaches $750. The Company recorded an expense associated with the non-variable portion of the agreement. However, the probability of the Company’s market capitalization reaching these thresholds is uncertain at present and the Company has not accrued a contingent fee as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017 as a result.2019.

On May 1, 2019, the Company received a Notice of Demand for Arbitration from Secure IP Telecom, Inc. who supposedly had a Reciprocal Carrier Services Agreement (RCS) exclusively with Limecom, Inc. and not with Cuentas. The Demand originated from a Demand for Arbitration that Secure IP received from VoIP Capital International (VoIP) in March 2019 demanding $1,053 in damages allegedly caused by unpaid receivables that Limecom assigned to VoIP based on the RCS. The Company will vigorously defend its position to be removed as a named Party in this Notice of Demand due to the fact that Cuentas rescinded the Limecom acquisition on January 30, 2019.

 

The Company executed a lease for office space effective July 10, 2018 with a term to October 31, 2018. The lease requires monthly rental payments of $5. Total future guaranteed payments under this lease are $5.

In management’s opinion, our results of operations have not been materially affected by inflation or seasonality, and management does not expect that inflation risk or seasonality would cause material impact on our operations in the future.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

 

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $48 thousand$60,000 as compared to $93 thousand$154,000 as of December 31, 2017.2018. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had a working capital deficit of $7,915$2,574,000 thousand, as compared to $6,714 thousanda deficit of $7,548,000 as of December 31, 2017.2018. The increasedecrease in our working capital deficit was mainly attributable to the decrease of $3,266 thousand$1,789,000 in our trade account receivables and increase of $2,700 thousandaccounts payable, $1,948,000 in our short-termother accounts’ payables and $4,894,000 in short term related parties’ payables, which was mitigated by a decrease of $2,085$3,666,000 in our trade account payables.receivables.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $208 thousand$784,000 for the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $384 thousand$97,000 for the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The Company’s primary uses of cash have been for professional support marketing expenses and working capital purposes.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $11 thousand$0 for the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, as compared to $0 thousand$11,000 for the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $174 thousand$690,000 for the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, as compared to net cash from financing activities of approximately $185 thousand$29,000 for the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. 2018. We have principally financed our operations in 2019 through the sale of our common stock and the issuance of debt.

We have principally financed our operations through the sale of our common stock and the issuance of debt. Due to our operational losses, we relied to a large extent on funding received from Next Communications, Inc., an organization in which our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman holds a controlling equity interest and holds an executive position. During the first calendar quarter of 2017, Next Communications, Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection. As a result, the related party payable is being handled by a court appointed trustee as an asset of Next Communications, Inc. and the Company may need to begin repaying the amounts due on a more fixed schedule. There was $2,972 thousand$0 and $2,919 thousand$2,972,000 due to Next Communications, Inc.Inc as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively.

As discussed in an 8-K filed with the SEC on February 5, 2019, On January 29, 2019, the United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of Florida Miami Division approved a Plan of Reorganization for Next Communications, Inc., whereby Cuentas Inc. would pay $600,000 to a specific creditor (100 NWT) in consideration from forgiveness of the balance of the payable balance was not paid in the first quarter of 2019. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As

On or about March 5, 2019, Cuentas and Next Communication Inc. paid $100,000 to the trust account of SeptemberGenovese Joblove Battista, counsel for 100 NWT. Unfortunately, Cuentas was financially unable to make the $550,000 payment and was planning on making payments according to a payment plan previously approved by the court, but by omission, was not included in the final motions.


On April 30, 2018,2019, Cuentas received a Notice of Default (the “Notice”) from Genovese Joblove Battista, a creditor of Next Communication Inc., contending that a $550,000 Payment was in default due to the non-payment ordered by the United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of Florida Miami Division and the potential reinstatement of approximately $1,678,000 Final Judgment in favor of 100 NWT if not cured by May 11, 2019. On May 10, 2019, the Company had approximately $48paid $550,000 to the trust account of the specific creditor per the order and satisfied its obligation under the Approved Plan of the Reorganization for Next Communications, Inc., that was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of Florida Miami Division on January 29, 2019.

Our liquidity needs are principally for the funding of our operations and the development and the launch of the Cuentas GPR Card. Based on the foregoing, On February 28, 2019, The Company signed a Binding Term Sheet with Optima Fixed Income LLC (“Optima”) for a total investment of $2,500,000 over one year and received the first deposit of $500,000 on the same date. Under the Binding Term Sheet, it was agreed that the initial invested amount of $500,000 will in cashconsideration of 166,667 shares of Common Stock of the Company. It was also agreed that Optima may purchase a Convertible Note in the amount of $2,000,000, which may be funded on a quarterly basis. The term of the Convertible Note shall be three years and cash equivalents, approximately $8,012it may be converted with a discount of 25% on the share price at date of conversion, but in negative working capital,any case, not less than $3 per share. In any case, the total investment in the Company shall be not be less than 25% of the outstanding shares at the first anniversary of this Binding Term Sheet.

On May 10, 2019 the Company signed an Amendment to the Binding Term Sheet with Optima whereas Optima will make an additional deposit of $550,000 to the Company and whereas that additional deposit will be provided to the Company in the form of a stockholders’ deficiencyConvertible Note as discussed in the Binding Term Sheet. It was also agreed that Optima will provide an additional amount of approximately $4,032$1,450,000 to the Company which will be provided in a form of a Convertible Note at the following dates:

DateAmount
05/28/2019$200,000 
08/28/2019$500,000 
11/28/2019$500,000 
02/28/2020$250,000 

All the other terms and conditions of the Binding Term Sheet, will remain in full force and effect. On May 11, 2019 Optima made an accumulated deficitadditional deposit of approximately $14,419. These$550,000 and on May 28, 2019 Optima made an additional deposit of $200,000.

Despite the Capital raise that we have conducted and the above conditions and raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Although we anticipate that cash resources will be available to the Company through its current operations, it believes existing cash will not be sufficient to fund planned operations and projects investments through the next 12 months. Therefore, we are still striving to increase our sales, attain profitability and raise additional funds for future operations and any meaningful equity or debt financing will likely result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.


Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through issuance of common stock, related party advances and debt. As we expand our activities, we may, and most likely will, continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations. Additionally, we anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations through common stock offerings, to the extent available, or to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment our working capital. In the future we need to generate sufficient revenues from sales in order to eliminate or reduce the need to sell additional stock or obtain additional loans. There can be no assurance we will be successful in raising the necessary funds to execute our business plan.

We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth.

To address these risks, we must, among other things, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy surrounding our Cuentas braded general-purpose reloadable cards, continually develop and upgrade our website, respond to competitive developments, lower our financing costs and specifically our accounts receivable factoring costs, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As at SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements of any nature.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. Note 23 to our consolidated audited financial statements filed with the Company’s Annual Report onForm 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20172018 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to share-based payments because they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and require management to make judgments and estimates about uncertain matters.

 

Recent Accounting Standards announced

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments apply to reporting entities that are required to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements and should improve the cost, benefit, and effectiveness of the disclosures. ASU 2018-13 categorized the changes into those disclosures that were removed, those that were modified, and those that were added. The primary disclosures that were removed related to transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 investments, along with the policy for timing of transfers between levels. In addition, disclosing the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements was removed. The amendments are effective for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company notes that this guidance will impact its disclosures beginning January 1, 2020. 

 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 (ASU 2016-01) “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition andMeasurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. We adopted ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018 which resulted in a $300 reclassification of net unrealized gains from accumulated other comprehensive income to the retained earnings. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 increases the volatility of our other income (expense), net, as a result of the remeasurement of our equity securities. For all other organizations, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The significant accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 20172018 are applied consistently in these financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 


The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, and as discussed in greater detail below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, disclosure controls and procedures are not effective: 

 

 to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that are file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and
 
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are file or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and our Treasurer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on that evaluation, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective due to the following material weakness identified:

 

Lack of appropriate oversight of third partythird-party service providers,

 

Lack of appropriate segregation of duties,

Lack of an independent audit committee,

 

Lack of information technology (“IT”) controls over revenue,

 

Lack of adequate review of internal controls to ascertain effectiveness,

 

Lack of communication to third party service providers regarding key events and agreements within the organization,

 

Lack of control procedures that include multiple levels of supervision and review, and

 

There is an overreliance upon independent financial reporting consultants for review of critical accounting areas and disclosures and material, nonstandard transactions.

 

Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to ensure that information required to be disclosed has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management acknowledges the existence of this issue, and intends to develop procedures to address it to the extent possible given limitations in financial and human resources in and to remediate all the material weaknessesby the end of the fiscal quarter ending March 31,June 30, 2019.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation to determine whether any change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the three-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that no change occurred in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the three-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
