Company Information
Metrospaces, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as Strata Capital Corporation on December 10, 2007, under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has historically been a luxury hotel and residential developer. However, it always focused on higher-yield opportunities, in particular opportunities where IT can create huge improvements in efficiency and operating income. In that sense, on June 2017, the Company acquired 51% of the ownership units of Etelix in exchange for a $2 million promissory note. Etelix is a Miami based carrier-grade telco provider that ran a small data center. In June 2018, Etelix was merged into what is today, IQSTel, Inc. and as a consequence, the Company’s ownership dropped below 51% and therefore Etelix was deconsolidated. Effective September 15, 2018, the Company no longer has any ownership interest in Ikal Wine and Lodge. In March 2020, the Company exchanged the balance of the unpaid promissory of about $1.7 million, keeping 1,050,725 common shares. Additionally, the company has an option to acquire an additional 2.5 million shares and has agreements to acquire an even higher amount of shares, as certain value added-events are realized between the company and IQSTel, Inc.. The company has shifted its business focus and business plan from a traditional luxury hotel and residential developer to a Prop-tech company. The Company believes that new blockchain, IoT and AI solutions can be applied to the real estate industry in a fundamentally transformative way. One of the initial focus of the Company is to use IT to improve operating, marketing and maintenance efficiencies. To enter these new service offerings, the company will launch a series of new business lines. The first launch will be a co-living platform focus on secondary cities such as Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Houston and others, as well as special international tourist destinations such as The Dominican Republic. The company has a beta platform that will be launched by middle of 3rd quarter of 2021 and will bear the brand MetroHouse. On March 23, 2021 the Company entered an agreement to acquire a 3-bedroom villa in Infinity View Villas in Loma Linda, The Dominican Republic which will be one of it’s first markets. Part of this agreement give the company the option to increase its investment and become a co-developer partner. Additionally, the Company has entered into a verbal JV Agreement with a property owner to develop 2 additional properties owned by them, located in the area of Fishtown, Philadelphia which the Company expects to have fully operational within 3-4 months. The company intends to open at least 4-5 cities before end of 2021, with a total of no less than 150 beds within those cities. In addition, the Company has acquired a 60,295 ft2 office building located in Houston, TX that has generated approximate historical $469,000 of NOI. The plan for this building will be to initially improve management and net income by implementing additional proptech initiatives such as state of the art IoT improvements including building management tools, security system, and secured IT access systems. Additionally, the building is positioned to take advantage of solar tax credits and create value from electricity generation.
Company rents one facility comprised of approximately 750 square feet office space located at 195 Montague Street in Brooklyn, New York. The Company’s senior executive team and administrative staff work at this office. The rent per month is $750. Our fiscal year-end date is December 31, our principal executive offices are located at 195 Montague Street, Brooklyn, New York, 11201, our website is www.metrospaces.com, and our telephone number is (646) 630-0927.

For transactions covered by the relevant rules covering our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale, which may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.
Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one-page summary of certain essential items.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below before investing in our securities. Additional risks not presently known to us or that our management currently deems immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the risks described below were to occur, our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. In such an event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes. The risks discussed below include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.
Our financial status creates doubt about whether we will continue as a going concern.
All of our net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, resulted from accounting gains on the change in fair value of our derivative liability (a reduction of derivative liability from $11,017,206 at December 31, 2020, to $1,297,192 at June 30, 2021), we had no revenues during the six months ended June 30, 22021, we had total liabilities of $5,430,996 as of June 30, 2021, and we only had $388,669 in cash and cash equivalents with which to fund operations as of June 30, 2021. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We do not own hotel or resort properties, and we may not be able to find any properties which fit our business model, and the recent global economic uncertainty has impacted our ability to find suitable properties at prices we believe are attractive.
We currently do not own any hotel or resort properties, and there is no guarantee that we will own any such properties in the future. We are dependent on being able to find and acquire properties that fit our business model. The recent global economic instability presents challenges in finding properties at prices we believe are attractive, as well as financing those property purchases. Any inability to find properties or obtain financing on terms we find attractive would materially impact our results of operations and adversely impact a shareholder’s investment.
The Company’s failure to identify and complete accretive acquisitions may adversely affect the profitability of the Company.
The Company’s business strategy includes identifying and completing accretive hotel acquisitions. The Company will compete with other investors who are engaged in the acquisition of hotels, and these competitors may affect the supply/demand dynamics and, accordingly, increase the price the Company must pay for hotels it seeks to acquire, and these competitors may succeed in acquiring those hotels. Any delay or failure on the Company’s part to identify, negotiate, finance on favorable terms, consummate and integrate such acquisitions could materially impede the Company’s growth. The Company may also incur costs that it cannot recover if it abandons a potential acquisition. If the Company does not reinvest proceeds received from hotel dispositions timely, it could result in lower income. The Company’s profitability may also suffer because future acquisitions of hotels may not yield the returns the Company expects, and the integration of such acquisitions may cause disruptions in the Company’s business and to management or may take longer than projected.
The Company is subject to various risks which are common to the hotel industry on a national, regional and local market basis that are beyond its control and could adversely affect its business.
The success of the Company’s hotel development and operation plans will depend largely on the hotel operators’ ability to adapt to dominant trends and risks in the hotel industry, both nationally and in individual local markets. These risks could adversely affect hotel occupancy and the rates that can be charged for hotel rooms as well as hotel operating expenses. The following is a summary of risks that may affect the hotel industry in general and as a result may affect the Company:
| • | an increase in supply of hotel rooms that exceeds increases in demand; |
| • | competition from other hotels and lodging alternatives in the markets in which the Company will operate; |
| • | dependence on business and leisure travel; |
| • | increases in energy costs and other travel expenses, which may affect travel patterns and reduce business and leisure travel; |
| • | reduced business and leisure travel due to geo-political uncertainty, including terrorism, travel-related health concerns, including the widespread outbreak of infectious or contagious diseases in the U.S., inclement weather conditions, including natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes, and airline strikes or disruptions; |
| • | reduced travel due to adverse national, regional or local economic and market conditions; |
| • | seasonality of the hotel industry may cause quarterly fluctuations in operating results; |
| • | changes in marketing and distribution for the industry including the cost and the ability of third-party internet and other travel intermediaries to attract and retain customers; |
| • | changes in hotel room demand in a local market; |
| • | the performance of any third-party managers of hotel properties the Company may acquire; |
| • | increases in operating costs, including increases in the cost of property insurance, utilities and real estate and personal property taxes, due to inflation and other factors that may not be offset by increased room rates; |
| • | labor shortages and increases in the cost of labor due to low unemployment rates or to government regulations surrounding wage rates, health care coverage and other benefits; |
| • | changes in governmental laws and regulations, fiscal policies and zoning ordinances and the related costs of compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
| • | business interruptions due to cyber-attacks; |
| • | requirements for periodic capital reinvestment to repair and upgrade hotels; |
| • | limited alternative uses for the hotel buildings; |
| • | condemnation or uninsured losses; and |
| • | adverse effects of a downturn in the hospitality industry. |
Any of these factors may reduce operating results and the value of any properties that the Company may acquire. Additionally, these items, among others, may reduce the availability of capital to the Company.
Adverse economic conditions in the United States and individual markets may adversely affect the Company’s business operations and financial performance.
The performance of the lodging industry has historically been closely linked to the performance of the general economy both nationally and within local markets. The lodging industry is also sensitive to government, business and personal discretionary spending levels. Declines in government and corporate budgets and consumer demand due to adverse general economic conditions, risks affecting or reducing travel patterns, lower consumer confidence or adverse political conditions could lower the revenue and profitability of any hotels the Company acquires, and therefore the net operating profits/losses of those investments. A slowing of the current economic growth or new economic weakness could have an adverse effect on the Company’s revenue and negatively affect its profitability. Furthermore, even if the economy in the United States in general continues to improve, the Company cannot provide any assurances that demand for hotels in other countries will increase from current levels, locally or regionally, where any of the Company’s properties are ultimately located.
In addition, many of the expenses associated with the Company’s business plan, including personnel costs, interest expense, ground leases, property taxes, insurance and utilities, are likely to remain relatively fixed. During a period of overall economic weakness, if the Company is unable to meaningfully decrease these costs as demand for hotels decreases, the Company’s business operations and financial performance would likely be adversely affected.
Competition in the markets where the Company may own hotels may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
The hotel industry is highly competitive. Any hotel properties we are able to acquire will compete for guests primarily with other hotels in its immediate vicinity and secondarily with other hotels in its geographic market. The hotel properties will also compete with numerous owners and operators of vacation ownership resorts, as well as alternative lodging companies, such as HomeAway and Airbnb, which operate websites that market available furnished, privately-owned residential properties, including homes and condominiums, that can be rented on a nightly, weekly or monthly basis. An increase in the number of competitive hotels, vacation ownership resorts and alternative lodging arrangements in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on the occupancy and ADR (Average Daily Rate) of the Company’s hotels in that area.
Renovations and capital improvements may reduce the Company’s profitability.
If the Company is able to acquire hotel properties, the Company will likely have ongoing needs for hotel renovations and capital improvements to maintain the hotels. In addition, from time to time, the Company will need to make renovations and capital improvements to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to remain competitive with other hotels and to maintain the economic value of its hotels. The Company also may need to make significant capital improvements to hotels that it acquires. Occupancy and ADR are often affected by the maintenance and capital improvements at a hotel, especially in the event that the maintenance or improvements are not completed on schedule, or if the improvements require significant disruptions at the hotel. The costs of capital improvements the Company may need or choose to make could reduce the funds available for other purposes and may reduce the Company’s profitability.
The Company may not be able to complete hotel dispositions when and as anticipated.
The Company anticipates that it will monitor the profitability of any hotel properties it acquires, market conditions, and capital requirements and attempts to maximize shareholder value by timely disposal of its hotels. Real estate investments are, in general, relatively difficult to sell due to, among other factors, the size of the required investment and the volatility in availability of adequate financing for a potential buyer. This illiquidity will tend to limit the Company’s ability to promptly vary its property portfolio in response to changes in economic or other conditions. Additionally, factors specific to an individual property, such as its specific market and operating performance, restrictions in franchise and management agreements, debt secured by the property, a ground lease, or capital expenditure needs may further increase the difficulty in selling a property. Therefore, the Company cannot predict whether it will be able to sell any hotels for the price or on the terms set by the Company, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to the Company.
Real estate impairment losses may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
As a result of changes in an individual hotel’s operating results or to the Company’s planned hold period for a particular hotel, the Company may be required to record an impairment loss for a given hotel property it acquires. The Company plans to analyze any hotel properties it acquires individually for indicators of impairment throughout the year. The Company plans to record impairment losses on a hotel property if indicators of impairment are present, and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the respective property over its estimated remaining useful life, based on historical and industry data, is less than the property’s carrying amount. Indicators of impairment include, but are not limited to, a property with current or potential losses from operations, when it becomes more likely than not that a property will be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life or when events, trends, contingencies or changes in circumstances indicate that a triggering event has occurred and an asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable.
The Company’s inability to obtain financing on favorable terms or pay amounts due on its financing may adversely affect the Company’s operating results.
The Company anticipates using financing to acquire properties and perform renovations to its properties. The credit markets have historically been volatile and subject to increased regulation in recent years, and as a result, the Company may not be able to obtain debt financing to meet its cash requirements, including refinancing any scheduled debt maturities, which may adversely affect its ability to execute its business strategy. If the Company refinances debt, such refinancing may not be in the same amount or on terms as favorable as the terms of the existing debt being refinanced. If the Company is unable to refinance its debt, it may be forced to dispose of hotels or issue equity at inopportune times or on disadvantageous terms, which could result in higher costs of capital.
Technology will likely be used in any future hotel operations, and any material failure, inadequacy, interruption or security failure of that technology could harm our business.
The Company plans to rely on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes, including financial transactions and records, personal identifying information, reservations, billing and operating data. Some of the information technology will likely be purchased from third party vendors, on whom the systems depend. The Company plans to rely on commercially available and internally developed systems, software, tools and monitoring to provide security for processing, transmission and storage of confidential operator and other customer information, such as individually identifiable information, including information relating to financial accounts. It is possible that the safety and security measures taken will not be able to prevent the systems’ improper functioning or damage, or the improper access or disclosure of personally identifiable information such as in the event of cyber-attacks. Security breaches, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by hackers and similar breaches, can create system disruptions, shutdowns or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. Any failure to maintain proper function, security and availability of information systems could interrupt operations, damage reputation, subject the Company to liability claims or regulatory penalties and could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
Potential losses not covered by insurance may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition.
The Company plans to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage for general liability, property, business interruption and other risks with respect to any hotels it acquires. These policies would offer coverage features and insured limits that the Company believes are customary for similar types of properties. There are no assurances that any such coverage will be available
or at reasonable rates in the future. Also, various types of catastrophic losses, like earthquakes, hurricanes, or certain types of terrorism, may not be insurable or may not be economically insurable. Even when insurable, these policies may have high deductibles and/or high premiums. Additionally, although the Company may be insured for a particular loss, the Company is not insured against the impact a catastrophic event may have on the industry as a whole. There also can be risks such as certain environmental hazards that may be deemed to fall outside of the coverage. In the event of a substantial loss, the Company’s insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover the full current market value or replacement cost of its lost investment. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, the Company could lose all or a portion of the capital it has invested in a hotel, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the hotel. In that event, the Company might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the hotel. Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors might also prevent the Company from using insurance proceeds to replace or renovate a hotel after it has been damaged or destroyed. The Company also may encounter challenges with an insurance provider regarding whether it will pay a particular claim that the Company believes to be covered under its policy. Under those circumstances, the insurance proceeds the Company would receive might be inadequate to restore its economic position in the damaged or destroyed hotel, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
The Company may face possible risks associated with the physical effects of climate change.
If the Company acquires hotel properties, the Company may be subject to the risks associated with the physical effects of climate change, which could include more frequent or severe storms, droughts, hurricanes and flooding, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s properties, operations and business. To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, its markets could experience increases in storm intensity and rising sea-levels causing damage to the Company’s properties. Over time, these conditions could result in declining hotel demand or the Company’s inability to operate the affected hotels at all. Climate change also may have indirect effects on its business by increasing the cost of (or making unavailable) property insurance on terms the Company finds acceptable, as well as increasing the cost of renovations, energy, water and snow removal at its properties. The Company cannot predict with certainty whether climate change is occurring and, if so, at what rate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that climate change will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company could incur significant, material costs related to government regulation and litigation with respect to environmental matters, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Any hotels the Company acquires would likely be subject to various national and local environmental laws that impose liability for contamination. Under these laws, governmental entities would likely have the authority to require the Company, as the current owner of a hotel, to perform or pay for the clean-up of contamination (including hazardous substances, asbestos and asbestos-containing materials, waste, petroleum products or mold) at, on, under or emanating from the hotel and to pay for natural resource damages arising from such contamination. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator or other responsible party knew of, or caused such contamination, and the liability may be joint and several. Because these laws also impose liability on persons who owned or operated a property at the time it became contaminated, it is possible the Company could incur cleanup costs or other environmental liabilities even after it sells or no longer operates a particular hotel. Contamination at, on, under or emanating from the Company’s hotels also may expose it to liability to private parties for costs of remediation, personal injury and/or property damage. In addition, environmental laws may create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs to address such contamination. If contamination is discovered on the Company’s properties, environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which the properties may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures. Moreover, environmental contamination can affect the value of a property and, therefore, an owner’s ability to borrow funds using the property as collateral or to sell the property on favorable terms or at all.
In addition, any hotels the Company acquires would likely be subject to various national and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations that address a wide variety of issues, including, but not limited to, storage tanks, air emissions from emergency generators, storm water and wastewater discharges, lead-based paint, mold and mildew, and waste management. The Company’s hotels would likely incur costs to comply with these environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and could be subject to fines and penalties for non-compliance with applicable requirements.
Liabilities and costs associated with environmental contamination at, on, under or emanating from a hotel property, defending against claims related to alleged or actual environmental issues, or complying with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations could be material and could materially and adversely affect the Company. The Company can make no assurances that changes in current laws or regulations or future laws or regulations will not impose additional or new material environmental
liabilities, or that the current environmental condition of any hotel the Company acquires will not be affected by its operations, the condition of the properties in the vicinity of the hotel, or by third parties unrelated to the Company. The discovery of material environmental liabilities at its properties could subject the Company to unanticipated significant costs, which could significantly reduce or eliminate its profitability.
The Company may incur significant costs complying with various regulatory requirements, which could materially and adversely affect the Company.
The Company and any hotels it acquires will be subject to various national and local regulatory requirements. These requirements are likely to be wide-ranging and include among others, state and local fire and life safety requirements, federal laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Accessibility Guidelines promulgated thereunder and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Liability and costs associated with complying with these requirements are and could be material. If the Company fails to comply with these various requirements, it could incur governmental fines or private damage awards. In addition, existing requirements could change and future requirements might require the Company to make significant unanticipated expenditures, which could materially and adversely affect the Company.
There may be unknown risks inherent in our acquisitions of properties which could result in a material adverse effect on our business.
We will conduct due diligence with respect to any acquisition we undertake, but we may not be aware of all of the risks associated with any of the acquisitions. Any discovery of adverse information concerning any of these acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we may be entitled to seek indemnification in certain circumstances, successfully asserting indemnification or enforcing such indemnification could be costly and time consuming or may not be successful at all.
Investors may lose their entire investment if we fail to implement our business plan.
We have a minimal demonstrable operations record on which you can evaluate our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. These risks include, without limitation, competition, the absence of ongoing revenue streams, a competitive market environment, and lack of brand recognition. If we fail to implement and create a base of operations for our proposed business, we may be forced to cease operations, in which case investors may lose their entire investment.
Risks Associated with this Offering
Our shares will likely be classified as a “penny stock” as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price less than $5.00. Our shares would be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.
We will be subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to its customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000, or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse, is considered an accredited investor. In addition, under the penny stock regulations the broker-dealer is required to:
| · | Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt; |
| | |
| · | Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities; |
| | |
| · | Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer’s account, the account’s value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; |
| | |
| · | Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer’s account. |
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling stockholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our stockholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.
Investors may never receive cash distributions, which could result in an investor receiving little or no return on his or her investment.
Distributions are payable at the sole discretion of our board of directors. We do not know the amount of cash that we will generate, if any, once we have more productive operations. Cash distributions are not assured, and we may never be in a position to make distributions.
Our shares may be thinly traded with wide share price fluctuations, low share prices, and minimal liquidity.
The per share price of our common stock may be volatile with wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including: potential investors’ anticipated feeling regarding our results of operations; increased competition; our ability or inability to generate future revenues; and market perception regarding the hotel industry in general and our hotels specifically.
In addition, our share price may be affected by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. Our share price might be affected by general economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates, or international currency fluctuations. Stocks traded on the over-the-counter market, like our common stock, are usually thinly traded, highly volatile and not followed by analysts. These factors may have a material effect on our share price.
We could potentially need to sell additional authorized shares in the future. This will result in a dilution to our existing shareholders and a corresponding reduction in their percentage ownership in the Company.
We may seek additional funds through the sale of our common stock. This will result in a dilution effect to our shareholders whereby their percentage ownership interest in the Company is reduced. The magnitude of this dilution effect will be determined by the number of shares we will have to issue in the future to obtain the funds required. The sale of additional stock to new shareholders will reduce the ownership position of the current shareholders. The price of each share outstanding common share may decrease in the event we sell additional shares.
We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future that may adversely impact your rights as holders of our common stock.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue additional shares of preferred stock, your rights as holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of your ownership interests in us. In addition, shares of preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult, which may not be in your interest as a holder of common stock.
Since our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.
Our shares are “penny stocks” and are covered by Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers including: disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from its customer a written agreement prior to making
a sale. The imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices could adversely affect a shareholder's ability to dispose of his stock.
Future legal actions would cause our costs to increase.
There are presently no legal actions pending against the Company or to which it or any of its property are subject, nor to its knowledge are any such proceedings contemplated. In the event there was any such legal action, there would be costs of defense that would be variable. The Company anticipates a general increase in legal counsel cost going forward due to the legal work that will be necessary for implementing the Company’s business plan.
The financial projections herein are based on assumptions which may not actually occur.
The financial projections contained in this Offering Circular are based on certain assumptions and estimates and, although the Company believes there is a reasonable basis for the assumptions and estimates upon which the projections are based, there can be no assurance that the revenues stated therein will be attained or that expenses will not be higher than estimated. Much of the information contained in the projections is based on assumptions and estimates that are subject to variations that could be beyond the control of the Company and could have a substantially adverse effect on the performance and profitability of the Company. Accordingly, no representation is or can be made as to the future operations or the amount of any future income or loss of the Company. In addition, the projections were prepared by management and have not been reviewed by any independent certified public accountant. Each investor should consult his own attorney, accountant or other advisors concerning an investment in the Company.
Trends, risks and uncertainties.
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our Common Stock.

The precise amounts that we will devote to each of the foregoing items, and the timing of expenditures, will vary depending on numerous factors.
As indicated in the table above, if we sell only 75%, or 50%, or 25% of the shares offered for sale in this offering, we would expect to use the resulting net proceeds for the same purposes as we would use the net proceeds from a sale of 100% of the shares, and in approximately the same proportions, until such time as such use of proceeds would leave us without working capital reserve. At that point we would expect to modify our use of proceeds by limiting our expansion, leaving us with the working capital reserve indicated.
The expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve and change. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures, specifically with respect to working capital, may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. The precise amounts that we will devote to each of the foregoing items, and the timing of expenditures, will vary depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering.
In the event we do not sell all of the shares being offered, we may seek additional financing from other sources in order to support the intended use of proceeds indicated above. If we secure additional equity funding, investors in this offering would be diluted. In all events, there can be no assurance that additional financing would be available to us when wanted or needed and, if available, on terms acceptable to us.
“Accounting, Audit & Related Fees” includes accounting and audit fees associated with the anticipated annual audit and preparation and review of interim financial statements, which the Company anticipates will be necessary execute the Company’s plan to become a fully reporting company subsequent to the completion of the Offering described herein. Related Fees includes legal and professional fees. The amounts in this category will likely increase as accounting fees increase in relationship to increased activity in manufacturing, product development and corporate acquisitions planned.
“Technology Development” includes the anticipated expenses associated with software development associated with our MetroHouse co-living platform, our real estate document verification platform, and real estate tokenization platform plans described in the “Business” section below.
“Real Estate Acquisition(s) and Development” includes expenses associated with real estate acquisitions and development plans described in the “Business” section below.
“Sales and Marketing” includes the costs associated with hiring additional staff and or the retention of third party sales and marketing experts to market the Company’s anticipated software and real estate projects, and such expenses are expected to steadily increase as we successfully execute our business plan.
DILUTION
We had a negative net tangible book value at June 30, 2021, of approximately ($0.00031) per share of our common stock (assuming the number of shares outstanding as of August 16, 2021, were outstanding as of June 30, 2021). If you invest in our common stock, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock, and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after the offering.
Outside investors, however, will pay a price of $0.001 per share. Further, the net tangible book value per share after the offering but prior to any new offerings is expected to be approximately ($0.0001) per share. Therefore, outside investors participating in this offering will incur immediate substantial dilution of their investment insofar as it refers to the resulting per share net tangible book value of the Company’s Common Stock after completion of this Offering. The following table illustrates dilution to investors on an approximate dollar per share basis, depending upon whether we sell 100%, 75%, 50%, or 25% of the shares being offered in the Primary Offering:
Percentage of Offering Shares Sold | | | 100 | % | | | 75 | % | | | 50 | % | | | 25 | % |
Offering price per share | | | 0.0055 | | | | 0.0055 | | | | 0.0055 | | | | 0.0055 | |

Increase per share attributable to investors | | | 0.000044 | | | | 0.000035 | | | | 0.000024 | | | | 0.000013 | |
Pro forma net tangible book value per share after offering | | | (0.00027 | ) | | | (0.00028 | ) | | | (0.00029 | ) | | | (0.00030 | ) |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
Metrospaces, Inc. (the “Company”) has historically been a real estate investor, developer and operator. The Company was originally incorporated as Strata Capital Corporation (“STC”) on December 10, 2007 under the laws of the State of Delaware; however, on October 6, 2012, the Company changed its name to Metrospaces, Inc. As a Company previously focused on real estate, the Company has historically been focused on real estate development, acquisition and repositioning of luxury residential and hotels. Additionally, the Company had also focused on locating and acquiring operating companies with a strong real estate component to them such as data centers, and other operating business where real estate provides an important part of the balance sheet and/or income statement .
The Company has recently transformed its business plan from a traditional luxury hotel and residential developer to a property technology (“prop-tech”) company. The Company believes that new blockchain, IoT and AI solutions can be applied to the real estate industry in a fundamentally transformative way. One of the Company’s new focuses is to use information technoolgy to improve real property operating, marketing and maintenance efficiencies. To enter these new service offerings, the Company plans to launch a series of new business lines.
The first launch planned is a co-living platform focused on secondary cities such as Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Houston and others, as well as special international tourist destinations such as The Dominican Republic. The Company is currently developing a beta platform with a target of launching it by the middle of the third quarter of 2021, with the platform branded as “MetroHouse.” In furtherance of the MetroHouse business, on March 23, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 3-bedroom villa in The Dominican Republic, which will be one of MetroHouse’s first markets. The Company closed on the purchase of that property in March shortly thereafter. Additionally, the Company has entered into a preliminary joint venture agreement with a group of property owners in the area of Fishtown in Philadelphia, pursuant to which residential properties there will be offered for rent via the MetroHouse co-living platform. The Company currently expects to have the MetroHouse platform fully operational within three-to-six months. The Company intends to launch MetroHouse in at least 4-5 cities before the end of 2021, with a total of no less than 150 beds available for rent within those cities. A second larger launch of MetroHouse in other locations is targeted for the end of the third quarter of 2022.
In August of 2021, the Company acquired an approximate 50.6% equity interest in a 60,295 sq. ft. office building in Houston, Texas, locally known as the “Brazos Atrium.” The building is expected to be a first case study for the Company’s planned tokenization platform. The Company’s plan for this building will be to initially improve management and net income by implementing additional prop-tech initiatives, such as state of the art IoT improvements including updated building management tools, security system, secured IT access systems and blockchain integration. Additionally, the building is positioned to potentially take advantage of solar tax credits and create value from electricity generation.

BUSINESS
Historical Business
Metrospaces, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as Strata Capital Corporation on December 10, 2007, under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has historically been focused on hotel and residential real estate development. Additionally, it always focused on higher-yield opportunities, in particular opportunities where IT can create huge improvements in efficiency and operating income. In that sense, on June 2017, the Company acquired 51% of the ownership units of Etelix in exchange for a $2 million promissory note. Etelix is a Miami-based carrier-grade telco provider that ran a small data center. In June 2018, Etelix was acquired by IQSTel, Inc., and as a consequence, the Company’s ownership dropped below 51%, and therefore Etelix was deconsolidated. Effective September 15, 2018, the Company no longer had any ownership interest in Ikal Wine and Lodge.
Management’s Past Real Estate Development Experience:
The current management team has extensive real estate development experience in different markets around the world, such as London, Buenos Aires and NY. The current team has developed approximately 100,000 ft2 of properties around the world, being the London Bulgari Hotel the most iconic one. This past experience in real estate development, gives te management team experience and vision to incorporate IT solutions to achieve maximum results in operations, energy efficiency, marketing and payments. Management believes that the real estate industry is set to experiment a transformative period where shared ownership, transparency in operations and maximized energy efficiency will be the norm.
As an example of Management team’s past experience:
London Bulgari Hotel (http://www.bulgarihotels.com/en_US/london): Inaugurated in 2012, just in time for the London Olympics, The London Bulgari Hotel was the first new 5-star hotel to open up in London for over 40 years. The hotel took luxury boutique hotels to a completely new level never seen before in the city of London. The hotel is located on Knightsbridge, a 3-minute walk to Hyde Park and Harrods. The hotel has amazing room amenities such as iPod docs, flat-screen TV, Nesspresso machine, marble-floors with free-standing baths and Bulgari furniture decoration. Additionally, the hotel has an indoor pool, a world-class Italian restaurant, spa, screening room as well as many other unique services.
Metrospaces’ CEO, Oscar Brito, was one of the two initial founding partners, having been directly involved in the sourcing of the site, planning approval, construction and later disposition of his minority stake for an IRR of over 45%.
Current Business
The Company has begun a transformation of its business plan from a traditional luxury hotel and residential developer to a prop-tech company. The Company believes that new blockchain, IoT and AI solutions can be applied to the real estate industry in a fundamentally transformative way. One of the initial focuses of the Company is to use IT to improve real property operating, marketing and maintenance efficiencies. To enter these new service offerings, the Company plans to launch a series of new business lines.
The first business planned to be launched under this new business focus is the co-living platform, MetroHouse.
MetroHouse
Concept: According to some projections, almost 70% of the world’s population will be living in large cities in the future. As more people come to live in large cities, availability for space is expected to become more and more limited. This situation has made affordability, in particular for younger people, a real issue when looking to buy a home or even lease an apartment in many metro areas. Affordable choices are often limited to run-down, poorly located properties that can make for a deplorable living experience. This living concept has already become a trend in big cities such as London, Singapore, New York and Los Angeles, following amongst other things, the world-wide explosion of consumers of shared spaces in properties such as AirBnB and WeWork.
Product: MetroHouse was conceptualized as a product based on mid-sized properties such as townhomes that allow for a larger co-living space that offer tenants such amenities as a rooftop, large kitchens and living rooms, as well as an all-inclusive product that include services such as Wi-Fi, electricity, TV etc. The Company’s initial focus is on secondary cities such as Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Houston and others, as well as special international tourist destinations such as The Dominican Republic.
The Company is currently developing a beta platform with a target of launching it by the middle of the third quarter of 2021, with the platform branded as “MetroHouse.” In furtherance of the MetroHouse business, on March 23, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 3-bedroom villa in The Dominican Republic, which will be one of MetroHouse’s first markets. The Company closed on the purchase of that property in March shortly thereafter. Additionally, the Company has entered into a preliminary joint venture agreement with a group of property owners in the area of Fishtown in Philadelphia to develop two additional residential properties and pursuant to which residential properties there are planned to be offered for rent via the MetroHouse co-living platform within nine months.
Execution: The Company has joined forces with world-class IT provider, Shokworks, to develop and run the entire online and mobile platform on an outsourced basis. This platform should allow the Company to take applications from future users as well as allow property owners to apply as hosts by signing up third-party curated properties. The platform should also give access to other users across the platform as well event organizers, etc. The platform will initially focus on townhouse-type properties, as well as 3-5-bedroom apartments in select cities, as well as specially selected tourist cities aimed at the “Digital Nomad”. The Company plans to first launch in Philadelphia and The Dominican Republic greater metropolitan area, and then in Madrid, Spain. Of the total maximum funds that may be raised in the offering, the Company plans to use more than $8 million to acquire real estate assets and enter into joint venture agreements with other real estate developers to develop co-living-ready real estate assets.
Financial Performance: According to a case study done by Common Living, Inc, co-living spaces offer investors up to 10-30% higher rental income than traditional rental income on similar properties. On a levered basis, this represents an increase of IRR on each property of 30-60% according to internal calculations. This sort of increase on rental increase turn the rental property investment scenario into a truly spectacular opportunity. The Company plans to look to enhance profits using leverage of 65% loan-to-value.
Below is a case study regarding co-living residential new construction investment vs. traditional residential new development:
Here is an example comparison between Traditional Residential Building Rental Income versus the Co-Living Rental model.
| Traditional | | Co-living | |
Cost basis | Land purchase price | $10,000,000 | $10,000,000 | |
| Development cost | $17,500,000 | $18,400,000 | |
| Total cost basis | $27,500,000 | $28,400,000 | |
Operating income | Gross rental revenue | $2,279,500 | $3,230,100 | |
| Operating expenses | $(360,000) | $(950,740) | |
| NOI before RET and insurance | $1,919,500 | $2,279,360 | |
| Real estate taxes and insurance | $(381,925) | $(381,925) | |
| Net operating income to owner | $1,537,575 | $1,897,435 | |
Returns | Unlevered yield-on-cost | 5.6% | 6.7% | | |
| NOI premium from co-living | | 23.4% | |
| Incremental yield-on-cost | | 1.1% | |
| | | | | |
Additionally, the Company plans to potentially acquire, dependent on available funding, and renovate and reposition up to 3-6 townhouses in the coming 12 months that will be incorporated into the platform. This way, the Company will seek to generate revenue through the rental/administration application, as well as acquire and renovate real property and generate revenue from the lease of such property.
Structure: For this service, the Company has incorporated a subsidiary, MetroHouse, Inc. The Company will retain a 70% stake in the capital stock of the Company, while 30% will be reserved for issuance to the management team.

Litigation

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 23,600,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.000001 par value. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions, with respect to the Common Stock when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available for such dividends. No holder of Common Stock has any preemptive right to subscribe for any of our stock nor are any shares subject to redemption. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and after payment of creditors and any amounts payable to senior securities, the assets will be divided pro rata on a share- for-share basis among the holders of the shares of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock now outstanding upon completion of this Offering and conversion of any Preferred Stock, are, and will be, fully paid, validly issued and non- assessable.
Holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, so that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors will be able to elect 100% of the directors if they choose to do so, and in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any members to the Board of Directors.
The Company has never paid any dividends to shareholders of our Common Stock. The declaration in the future of any cash or stock dividends will depend upon our capital requirements and financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. We presently intend not to pay any cash or stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Management intends to reinvest earnings, if any, in the development and expansion of our business. No dividend may be paid on the Common Stock until all Preferred Stock dividends are paid in full.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized by our Articles of Incorporation to issue a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.000001 par value. This Preferred Stock may be in one or more series and containing such rights, privileges and limitations, including voting rights, conversion privileges and/or redemption rights, as may, from time to time, be determined by our Board of
Directors. Preferred stock may be issued in the future in connection with acquisitions, financings or such other matters as the Board of Directors deems to be appropriate. In the event that any such shares of Preferred Stock shall be issued, a Certificate of Designation, setting forth the series of such Preferred Stock and the relative rights, privileges and limitations with respect thereto, shall be filed. The effect of such Preferred Stock is that our Board of Directors alone, within the bounds and subject to the federal securities laws and the Delaware Law, may be able to authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company without further action by the stockholders and might adversely affect the voting and other rights of holders of Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights also may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock, including the loss of voting control to others.
The Board of Directors is expressly vested with the authority to divide any or all of the Preferred Stock into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of each series so established.
The Board of Directors shall exercise the foregoing authority by adopting a resolution setting forth the designation of each series and the number of shares therein, and fixing and determining the relative rights and preferences thereof. The Board of Directors may make any change in the designations, terms, limitations or relative rights or preferences of any series in the same manner, so long as no shares of such series are outstanding at such time.
Within the limits and restrictions, if any, stated in any resolution of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, the Board of Directors is authorized to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of such series. In case the number of shares of any series shall be so decreased, the share constituting such decrease shall resume the status which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such series.
As of June 30, 2021, 2,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock have been designated as Series B PIK Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), 1,200,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, 400,000 shares of authorized preferred stock have been designated as Series D PIK Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), and 2,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding.

Series B Preferred Stock
The Series B Preferred Stock ranks as to dividends and upon liquidation senior and prior to the Company’s common stock, and junior to the Series D Preferred Stock and any other series of preferred stock issued in the future by the Company. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends at a quarterly rate of $0.021875 per share, which amounts accrue without interest, and through December 31, 2019, the Company has right to elect to pay the dividends in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the rate of 0.00021875 share of Series B Preferred Stock for each $1.00 not paid in cash. The liquidation value of each share of Series B Preferred Stock is $1.00, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events, plus the value of accrued but unpaid dividends (the “Liquidation Value”). Each share of Series B Preferred Stock converts into a number of shares of common stock equal to the Liquidation Value divided by $0.000135 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock splits or similar events).
As of the date hereof, accrued and unpaid dividends on the 1,200,000 shares of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock are approximately $368,375, the Liquidation Value is therefore approximately $1.31 per share, and each share of Series B Preferred Stock converts into approximately 9,681 common shares.
Each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to cast a number of votes (rounded up to the nearest whole vote) equal to the product of (A) the sum (i) the number of votes that could be cast by all holders of outstanding common stock and (ii) the number of votes that could be cast by the holders of any other class of stock, and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by the holder and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by all of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock. This effectively allows the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock to control the Company as holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by stockholders of the Company. As an example, assuming an aggregate of 9,367,210,713 votes could be cast by the Company’s common and other preferred stockholders (based on the number of shares of outstanding common stock and Series D Preferred Stock as of May 31, 2021), the three holders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock would be entitled to cast in the aggregate 9,367,210,715 votes.
Series D Preferred Stock
The Series D Preferred Stock ranks as to dividends and upon liquidation senior and prior to the Company’s common stock and Series B Preferred Stock, and pari passu with any series of preferred stock issued in the future by the Company. Holders of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to dividends at a quarterly rate of $2.1875 per share, which amounts accrue without interest, and through December 31, 2019, the Company has right to elect to pay the dividends in additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock at the rate of 0.00021875 share of Series D Preferred Stock for each $1.00 not paid in cash. The liquidation value of each share of Series D Preferred Stock is $100.00, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or similar events, plus the value of accrued but unpaid dividends (the “Liquidation Value”). Each share of Series D Preferred Stock converts into a number of shares of common stock equal to the Liquidation Value divided by an amount equal to 90% of the average of the daily closing price of the Company’s common stock for the three days prior to conversion (the “Current Market Price”) (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock splits or similar events).
As of the date hereof, accrued and unpaid dividends on the 2,000 shares of outstanding Series D Preferred Stock are approximately $56,000, and assuming a Current Market Price of $0.0001/share, the Liquidation Value would be approximately $128 per share, and each share of Series D Preferred Stock would convert into approximately 1,422,222 common shares.
Each holder of Series D Preferred Stock is entitled to cast a total number of votes equal to the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by the holder divided by the Current Market Price on the record dated of the meeting. As an example, assuming the Current Market Price were $0.0001/share, the current holder of the 2,000 outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock would be entitled to cast 20,000,000 votes.
Series E Preferred Stock
The Series E Preferred Stock is not convertible into the common stock of the Company and does not accrue dividends. The outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock have the right to take action by vote based on the number of votes equal to four times the number of votes of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company such that the holders of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall always have 80% of the voting rights of the Company.
Delaware Anti-takeover Law
Certain provisions of Delaware law may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay or prevent a tender offer or other acquisition transaction that a shareholder might consider to be in his or her best interest. The summary of the provisions of Delaware law set forth below does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Delaware law.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock, the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, and the imposition of certain other adverse effects on any party contemplating a takeover could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if the option to acquire such shares is exercised would impede a business combination by the voting and conversion rights that would enable a holder to block such a transaction. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock.
Under Delaware law, a director, in determining what he reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, does not need to consider only the interests of the corporation’s shareholders in any takeover matter but may also, in his discretion, may consider any of the following:
| (i) | The interests of the corporation’s employees, suppliers, creditors and customers; |
| (ii) | The economy of the state and nation; |
| (iii) | The impact of any action upon the communities in or near which the corporation’s facilities or operations are located; |
| (iv) | The long-term interests of the corporation and its shareholders, including the possibility that those interests may be best served by the continued independence of the corporation; and |
| (v) | Any other factors relevant to promoting or preserving public or community interests. |
Because our Board of Directors is not required to make any determination on matters affecting potential takeovers solely based on its judgment as to the best interests of our shareholders, our board could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our shareholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which such shareholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock. Our board presently does not intend to seek shareholder approval prior to the issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange rules.
Delaware’s “Acquisition of Controlling Interest” statute applies to Delaware corporations that do business in the State of Delaware directly or through an affiliate and which have 200 or more stockholders of record (at least 100 of which have record addresses in Delaware), unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws specifically provide otherwise. If applicable, this statute generally provides that any person acquiring certain statutorily defined “control” percentages (20%, 33.3% or a majority) of a corporation’s outstanding shares in the secondary market is not entitled to vote those “control shares” unless a majority of the other stockholders elects to restore such voting rights in whole or in part.
Delaware Corporation Law generally provides that a Delaware corporation which has not “opted out” of coverage by this section in the prescribed manner, such as the Company, may not engage in any “combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of two years following the date that the stockholder became an “interested stockholder” unless prior to that time the Board of Directors of the corporation approved either the “combination” or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an “interested stockholder.”
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any further determination to pay dividends on our capital stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors that our Board of Directors considers relevant.
SECURITIES OFFERED
Current Offering
Metrospaces, Inc. (“Metrospaces, Inc.,” “We,” or the “Company”) is offering up to $11,550,000 total of the Company’s common stock, $0.000001 par value (the “Common Stock” or collectively the “Securities”).
The Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 23,600,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.000001 par value. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions, with respect to the Common Stock when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available for such dividends. No holder of Common Stock has any preemptive right to subscribe for any of our stock nor are any shares subject to redemption. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and after payment of creditors and senior securities, the assets will be divided pro rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of the shares of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock now outstanding upon completion of this Offering are, and will be, fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable.
Holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, so that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors will be able to elect 100% of the directors if they choose to do so. In that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any members to the Board of Directors.
Transfer Agent
Our transfer agent Empires Stock Transfer Inc., 1859 Whitney Mesa Drive, Henderson, NV 89014, phone (720) 818-5898, website www.empirestock.com. The transfer agent is registered under the Exchange Act and operates under the regulatory authority of the SEC and FINRA.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this Offering, there has been a limited market for our Common Stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or securities or instruments convertible into our Common Stock, in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time.
Furthermore, because there will be limits on the number of shares available for resale shortly after this Offering due to contractual and legal restrictions described below, there may be resales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market after those restrictions lapse. This could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing at that time.
Rule 144
In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock for at least twelve months, in the event we are a reporting company under Regulation A, or at least six months, in the event we have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale, would be entitled to sell such securities, provided that such person is not deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale or to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the 90 days preceding the sale. A person who is an affiliate of ours at such time would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:
| · | 1% of the number of shares of our Common Stock then outstanding; or |
| · | the average weekly trading volume of our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing by such person of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale; provided that, in each case, we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale. Rule 144 trades must also comply with the manner of sale, notice and other provisions of Rule 144, to the extent applicable. |
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters with respect to the shares of common stock offered hereby will be passed upon by Brunson Chandler & Jones, PLLC, of Salt Lake City, Utah. Brunson Chandler & Jones, PLLC was not employed for such purpose on a contingency basis or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, directly or indirectly, in the Company or any subsidiary, nor was it connected with the Company or any of its parents, or subsidiaries, as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.

METROSPACES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018
Note 1 – Nature of the Business
Business
Metrospaces, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as “Strata Capital Corporation” on December 10, 2007, under the laws of the State of Delaware. Urban Spaces, Inc. (“Urban Spaces”) was incorporated on April 3, 2012, under the laws of the State of Nevada and thereafter formed Urban Properties LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and its 99.9% owned subsidiary (“UPLLC”). Through Urban Spaces and its subsidiaries, the Company builds, sells and manages condominium properties located in Argentina and Venezuela. On January 13, 2015, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of stock of Bodega IKAL, S.A., an Argentine corporation (“IKAL”), and Bodega Silva Valent S.A., an Argentinian corporation, which collectively own 185 acres of vineyards (Ikal Wine and Lodge), from which they currently sell grapes to local wineries. Through its 60% - owned subsidiary Caribe Mar, C.A. (“Caribe Mar”), the Company is planning to build a hotel on Coche Island in the State of Nueva Esparta, Venezuela. In June 2017, the Company acquired 51% of the ownership units of Etelix. In June 2018, Etelix was merged into another entity and the Company’s ownership dropped below 51% and Etelix was deconsolidated. Effective September 15, 2018, the Company no longer has any ownership interest in Ikal Wine and Lodge.
Description of Metrospaces Facility
The Company rents one facility comprised of approximately 750 square feet office space located at 195 Montague Street in Brooklyn, New York. The Company’s senior executive team and administrative staff work at this office. The rent per month is $750. This facility is suitable for the Company’s business as a private equity firm.
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis, with the Company’s subsidiaries IKAL and Bodega Silva Valent S.A., and Urban Properties, Inc. No intercompany balances or transactions existed during the period presented. Etelix was not consolidated since the Company no longer holds a 51% stake, but was diluted to 40% upon the merger of Etelix USA.com with Puresnax International (OTC:PSNX) in June 2018.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Real Property
Real property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Investments in Non-Consolidated Subsidiaries
Investments in non-consolidated entities are accounted for using the equity method or cost basis depending upon the level of ownership and/or the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. When the equity method is used, investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company’s proportionate share of the investees’ net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an investment accounted for under the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero and additional losses are not provided for. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company’s share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred. In October 2018, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the investment and determined that the losses of the non-consolidated subsidiary resulted in an impairment of the asset. As a result, the Company recognized impairment expense of $18,410,544 as of December 31, 2018.
Business Combinations
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired technology and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates.
Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.
Long-Lived Assets, Including Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of property and equipment and intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. We have not recorded any significant impairment charge during the years presented.
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company has elected to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). If it is determined that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step goodwill impairment test is performed. The first step, identifying a potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the second step would need to be performed; otherwise, no further step is required. The second step, measuring the impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of the goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. Any excess of the goodwill carrying amount over the applied fair value is recognized as an impairment loss, and the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value.
In addition to the recoverability assessment, the Company routinely reviews the remaining estimated useful lives of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. If we reduce the estimated useful life assumption for any asset, the remaining unamortized balance would be amortized or depreciated over the revised estimated useful life.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. We record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the selling price to the customer is fixed or determinable and collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured.
The Company generally recognizes revenue from grape sales upon delivery to the customer. The Company does not have any allowance for returns because grapes are accepted upon delivery.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes .. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred 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 tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short- term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short and long term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
The derivative liability in connection with the conversion feature of the convertible debt, classified as a Level 3 liability, is the only financial liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: We record when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.
The Company accounts for the conversion of convertible debt when a conversion option has been bifurcated using the general extinguishment standards. The debt and equity linked derivatives are removed at their carrying amounts and the shares issued are measured at their then-current fair value, with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on extinguishment of the two separate accounting liabilities.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of Bodega IKAL, S.A and Bodega Silva Valent S.A. is denominated in Argentine peso. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into United States dollar equivalents using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates during each period. Adjustments resulting from the process of translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ deficit.
Note 3 – Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has net loss of $17,391,954 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and has an accumulated deficit of $25,445,761, and had a stockholders’ deficit of $22,080,722 as of December 31, 2018. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, continued economic growth from its majority-owned telco company and financial support from its stockholders and continued attainment of profitable operations. These factors, among others, raise some doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to generate and grow revenues in the future. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 4 – Acquisition
Etelix USA.com, LLC:
On June 2017, Metropsaces acquired a 51% majority control position of the common units of Etelix (the “Etelix Acquistion”). The Etelix Acquisition price was $2,040,000 of which $240,000 was in cash, and $1,800,000 backed by a Preferred PIK (the “Etelix Note”). The transaction was executed completely and in form, however, the Preferred PIK is yet to be designated. This debt is currently reflected as short-term debt on our balance sheet. However, the financial statements of Etelix USA.com are no longer being consolidated with Metrospaces, Inc. since Etelix USA.com was merged in what was considered a reverse-take over operation with Puresnax International, an OTC Markets publicly listed company which quotes under the stock symbol OTC:PSNX. This merger transaction was concluded on June 28th, 2018. Upon the conclusion of this transaction, Metrospaces’ equity participation in the company was diluted from 51% to 40.9%. However, Metrospaces now owns approximately 40% of Puresnax’s publicly traded common stock. As of June 28, 2018 Metrospaces owned 6,136,848 common shares of Puresnax International (OTC:PSNX). Puresnax Internationl has since changed its name and ticker symbol to IQSTel, Inc. and (OTC:IQST) respectively. On June 18, 2018, the Etelix Note was amended such that the principal balance was to be repaid in 33 equal weekly installments of $50,000 and a final payment of $60,000 on February 8, 2019. The note holder was given the option to convert each payment into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 90% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock for the five prior trading days, including the day upon which a conversion notice is received by the Company. In October 2018, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the investment and determined that the losses of the non-consolidated subsidiary, as well as the illiquidity of IQSTel’s stock resulted in an impairment of the asset. Therefore, as a result, the Company recognized impairment expense of $18,410,544 as of December 31, 2018.
Note 5 – Investment in Non-Consolidated Subsidiary
On June 2017, Metrospaces acquired 51% of Etelix USA.com common stock, a Miami-based fully operating telecommunications company. Upon the acquisition, Metrospaces consolidated Etelix USA.com’s financial statements. However, on June 28, 2018 Etelix USA.com merged with Puresnax International, an OTC Market publicly listed company, in a reverse-take over merger transaction. The surviving entity of this transaction was Etelix, however, upon this merger transaction Etelix became a publicly- listed company and quoted by OTC Markets. As a result of this transaction, Metrospaces’ ownership was diluted from a total of 51% of the Etelix’s common stock to 40.9% of the combined Puresnax-Etelix entity, now IQSTel, Inc. (OTC:IQST). Therefore, as of June 30, 2018, Metrospaces owned 6,136,848 common shares of IQSTel, Inc. These shares were held on the balance sheet as a non-consolidated investment and were held at the closing bid price of IQSTel, Inc.’s common shares as quoted by OTC Markets. In October 2018, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the investment and determined that the losses of the non-consolidated subsidiary resulted in an impairment of the asset. As a result, the Company recognized impairment expense of $18,410,544 as of December 31, 2018.
Note 6 – Note Payable – Related Party
The officers of the Company have advanced funds to the Company from time to time. These advances are non-interest bearing, unsecured, and payable upon demand. The balance of the note payable – related party was $98,549 and $19,390 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Note 7 – Acquisition Note Payable
In connection with the Ikal Wine and Lodge, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $4,500,000. The note was convertible at, at any time at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company has determined that the conversion feature embedded in the note constituted a derivative and it has been bifurcated from the note and recorded as a derivative liability, with a corresponding discount recorded to the associated debt or a charge to interest expense where the derivative exceeds the carrying value of the note. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company made principal payments aggregating $56,100. On May 29, 2015, the Company exchanged the unpaid $4,443,900 of the note for 45,354 shares of newly designated shares of Series C Preferred Stock. However, due to the Company’s inability to provide a liquid market for its common shares, thus making it impossible for the Series C Preferred Stockholders to convert their Preferred shares into common stock, on September 15, 2018 the Company reached an agreement with the sellers of Ikal Wine and Lodge, whereby the holders of all the issued Series C Preferred Shareholders for the company redeemed all of the outstanding shares and in exchange, the Company gave back to the ex-holders 100% of the capital stock of Ikal Wine and Lodge. Therefore, as of September 15, 2018 the Company is no longer a shareholder of Ikal Wine and Lodge, affiliates or holding companies, and all of the Series C Preferred Shares have been redeemed and are no longer issued and outstanding.

Note 1 – Nature of the Business
Business
Metrospaces, Inc. (the “Company”) has historically been a real estate investor, developer and operator. The Company was originally incorporated as Strata Capital Corporation (“STC”) on December 10, 2007 under the laws of the State of Delaware; however, on October 6, 2012, the Company changed its name to Metrospaces, Inc. (“MSPC”). As a real estate investor and operator, the Company has historically been involved in real estate development, acquisition and repositioning of luxury residential and hotels. Additionally, the focus had been to invest in operating companies with a strong real estate component to them such as data centers, and other operating business where real estate provides an important part of the balance sheet and/or income statement. In that sense, we currently own 1,050,725 in IQSTel, Inc., a Miami-based telecom operator with telco value added services and a colocation service. Additionally, we have options to acquire another 2.5 million shares. Our intention is to continue to grow IQSTel, Inc by organic means and acquisitions of data centers and other telco providers that will drive the data center business and be synergetic with IQSTel, Inc. As a meaningful shareholder of IQST, we wil continue to support the company in the financing, acquisition and growth strategy. Additionally, the company will slowly and opportunistically liquidate part of its position in IQST to fund new acquisitions and projects looking to replicate the strong success the Company has had so far in IQST. In March 2020, the Company exchanged the balance of the unpaid promissory of about $1.7 million, keeping 1,050,725 common shares. Additionally, the company has an option to acquire an additional 2.5 million shares and has agreements to acquire an even higher amount of shares, as certain value added-events are realized between the company and IQSTel, Inc.. The company has begun a transformation of its business plan from a traditional luxury hotel and residential developer to a Prop-tech (“Prop-tech”) company. The Company believes that new blockchain, IoT and AI solutions can be applied to the real estate industry in a fundamentally transformative way. One of the initial focus of the Company is to use IT to improve operating, marketing and and maintenance efficiencies. To enter these new service offerings, the company will launch a series of new business lines. The first launch will be a co-living platform focus on secondary cities such as Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Houston and others, as well as special international tourist destinations such as The Dominican Republic. The company has a beta platform that will be launched by middle of 3rd quarter of 2021 and will bear the brand MetroHouse. On March 23, 2021 the Company entered an agreement has acquired a 3-bedroom villa in The Dominican Republic which will be one of it’s first markets. Additionally, the Company has entered into an LOI to acquire a 3000 ft2 lot lot located in Fishtown, Philadelphia. Additionally, the Company has entered into a JV Agreement with a group of property owner to develop 2 additional properties owned by the, which the Company expects to have fully operational within 9 months. The company intends to open at least 4-5 cities before end of 2021, with a total of no less than 150 beds within those cities. The second business launch will be a blockchain-certified signature verification service aimed at realtors and other real estate professionals. This will be part of a bigger launch that will follow where the company will rollout a blockchain market place to tokenize real estate assets and mortgages. This platform is in the beginning stages and will likely launch end of 2021.
Description of Metrospaces Facility
The Company rents one facility comprised of approximately 750 square feet office space located at 195 Montague Street in Brooklyn, New York. The Company’s senior executive team and administrative staff work at this office. The rent per month is $750. This facility is suitable for the Company’s business as a private equity firm.
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis, with the Company’s subsidiaries IKAL and Bodega Silva Valent S.A., and Urban Properties, Inc. No intercompany balances or transactions existed during the period presented. Etelix was not consolidated since the Company no longer holds a 51% stake, but was diluted to 40% upon the merger of Etelix USA.com with Puresnax International (OTC:PSNX) in June 2018.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Real Property
Real property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries
Investments in non-consolidated entities are accounted for using the equity method or cost basis depending upon the level of ownership and/or the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. When the equity method is used, investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company’s proportionate share of the investees’ net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an investment accounted for under the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero and additional losses are not provided for. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company’s share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred. In October 2018, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the investment and determined that the losses of the non-consolidated subsidiary resulted in an impairment of the asset. As a result, the Company recognized impairment expense of $18,410,544 as of December 31, 2018.
Business Combinations
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired technology and trade names from a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates.
Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.
Long-Lived Assets, Including Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of property and equipment and intangible assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. We have not recorded any significant impairment charge during the years presented.
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company has elected to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). If it is determined that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step goodwill impairment test is performed. The first step, identifying a potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the second step would need to be performed; otherwise, no further step is required. The second step, measuring the impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of the goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. Any excess of the goodwill carrying amount over the applied fair value is recognized as an impairment loss, and the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value.
In addition to the recoverability assessment, the Company routinely reviews the remaining estimated useful lives of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. If we reduce the estimated useful life assumption for any asset, the remaining unamortized balance would be amortized or depreciated over the revised estimated useful life.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. We record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the selling price to the customer is fixed or determinable and collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured.
The Company generally recognizes revenue from grape sales upon delivery to the customer. The Company does not have any allowance for returns because grapes are accepted upon delivery.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes .. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred 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 tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short- term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short and long term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

Fair Value Measurement
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short- term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short and long term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
The derivative liability in connection with the conversion feature of the convertible debt, classified as a Level 3 liability, is the only financial liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging Activities.
Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: We record when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.
The Company accounts for the conversion of convertible debt when a conversion option has been bifurcated using the general extinguishment standards. The debt and equity linked derivatives are removed at their carrying amounts and the shares issued are measured at their then-current fair value, with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on extinguishment of the two separate accounting liabilities.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of Bodega IKAL, S.A and Bodega Silva Valent S.A. is denominated in Argentine peso. Assets and liabilities of these operations are translated into United States dollar equivalents using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates during each period. Adjustments resulting from the process of translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ deficit.
Note 3 – Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has net loss of $17,391,954 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and has an accumulated deficit of $25,445,761, and had a stockholders’ deficit of $22,080,722 as of December 31, 2018. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, continued economic growth from its majority-owned telco company and financial support from its stockholders and continued attainment of profitable operations. These factors, among others, raise some doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to generate and grow revenues in the future. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 4 – Acquisition
Etelix USA.com, LLC:
On June 2017, Metropsaces acquired a 51% majority control position of the common units of Etelix (the “Etelix Acquistion”). The Etelix Acquisition price was $2,040,000 of which $240,000 was in cash, and $1,800,000 backed by a Preferred PIK (the “Etelix Note”). The transaction was executed completely and in form, however, the Preferred PIK is yet to be designated. This debt is currently reflected as short-term debt on our balance sheet. However, the financial statements of Etelix USA.com are no longer being consolidated with Metrospaces, Inc. since Etelix USA.com was merged in what was considered a reverse-take over operation with Puresnax International, an OTC Markets publicly listed company which quotes under the stock symbol OTC:PSNX. This merger transaction was concluded on June 28th, 2018. Upon the conclusion of this transaction, Metrospaces’ equity participation in the company was diluted from 51% to 40.9%. However, Metrospaces now owns approximately 40% of Puresnax’s publicly traded common stock. As of June 28, 2018 Metrospaces owned 6,136,848 common shares of Puresnax International (OTC:PSNX). Puresnax Internationl has since changed its name and ticker symbol to IQSTel, Inc. and (OTC:IQST) respectively. On June 18, 2018, the Etelix Note was amended such that the principal balance was to be repaid in 33 equal weekly installments of $50,000 and a final payment of $60,000 on February 8, 2019. The note holder was given the option to convert each payment into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 90% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock for the five prior trading days, including the day upon which a conversion notice is received by the Company. In October 2018, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the investment and determined that the losses of the non-consolidated subsidiary, as well as the illiquidity of IQSTel’s stock resulted in an impairment of the asset. Therefore, as a result, the Company recognized impairment expense of $18,410,544 as of December 31, 2018. In March 2020, the Company exchanged the balance of the unpaid promissory of about $1.7 million, keeping 1,050,725 common shares. Additionally, the Company has an option to acquire an additional 2.5 million shares and has agreements to acquire an even higher amount of shares, as certain value added-events are realized between the company and IQSTel, Inc
Note 5 – Investment in Non-Consolidated Subsidiary
On June 2017, Metrospaces acquired 51% of Etelix USA.com common stock, a Miami-based fully operating telecommunications company. Upon the acquisition, Metrospaces consolidated Etelix USA.com’s financial statements. However, on June 28, 2018 Etelix USA.com merged with Puresnax International, an OTC Market publicly listed company, in a reverse-take over merger transaction. The surviving entity of this transaction was Etelix, however, upon this merger transaction Etelix became a publicly- listed company and quoted by OTC Markets. As a result of this transaction, Metrospaces’ ownership was diluted from a total of 51% of the Etelix’s common stock to 40.9% of the combined Puresnax-Etelix entity, now IQSTel, Inc. (OTC:IQST). Therefore, as of June 30, 2018, Metrospaces owned 6,136,848 common shares of IQSTel, Inc. These shares were held on the balance sheet as a non-consolidated investment and were held at the closing bid price of IQSTel, Inc. common shares as quoted by OTC Markets. In October 2018, the Company evaluated the carrying value of the investment and determined that the losses of the non-consolidated subsidiary resulted in an impairment of the asset. As a result, the Company recognized impairment expense of $18,410,544 as of December 31, 2018.
Note 6 – Note Payable – Related Party

Note 7 – Acquisition Note Payable
In connection with the Ikal Wine and Lodge, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $4,500,000. The note was convertible at, at any time at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company has determined that the conversion feature embedded in the note constituted a derivative and it has been bifurcated from the note and recorded as a derivative liability, with a corresponding discount recorded to the associated debt or a charge to interest expense where the derivative exceeds the carrying value of the note. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company made principal payments aggregating $56,100. On May 29, 2015, the Company exchanged the unpaid $4,443,900 of the note for 45,354 shares of newly designated shares of Series C Preferred Stock. However, due to the Company’s inability to provide a liquid market for its common shares, thus making it impossible for the Series C Preferred Stockholders to convert their Preferred shares into common stock, on September 15, 2018 the Company reached an agreement with the sellers of Ikal Wine and Lodge, whereby the holders of all the issued Series C Preferred Shareholders for the company redeemed all of the outstanding shares and in exchange, the Company gave back to the ex-holders 100% of the capital stock of Ikal Wine and Lodge. Therefore, as of September 15, 2018 the Company is no longer a shareholder of Ikal Wine and Lodge, affiliates or holding companies, and all of the Series C Preferred Shares have been redeemed and are no longer issued and outstanding.
