BUSINESS
Narrative Description of Business
StreetShares, Inc. (hereafter also referred to as “Us”, “We”, “the Company”, “StreetShares”) is a venture-capital funded financial technology (FinTech) company on a mission to become the source for trusted digital finance for America’s heroes. The Company provides small business financing solutions and retail investing to its community of members through its online platform. StreetShares’ current products include term loans, Patriot Express® Line of Credit, Invoice Accounts Receivables Financing, retail debt securities offered under Regulation A, and accredited investor opportunities.
As part of StreetShares’ mission, the Company is closing the small business credit gap, using technology and honesty to provide an alternative to costly cash-advance, “payday”-type small business lending products, ensuring that veteran and main street small businesses are able to obtain the funding they need in a fair, affordable manner. StreetShares is founded and run by military veterans and has a particular focus on providing military veteran owned small businesses with fair and transparently-priced small business financial products.
StreetShares has one office location in Reston, Virginia. The Company is, as of June 30, 2018, comprised of 46 full-time employees.
Products
The Company has facilitated over $89 million in financing, including term loans, lines of credit, and invoice financing, since making its first loan in 2014.
(a) Lending Products:
The term loan and Patriot Express® Line of Credit products offered by StreetShares are fully amortizing and have flexible repayment options of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 18 month, 2 year, and 3 year terms. Business lending products are offered from $2,000 up to $250,000 with interest rates starting in the upper single digits for our most qualified borrowers.
StreetShares lends to qualified borrower members who meet the Company’s business and credit qualifications and are approved through the underwriting platform. In order to obtain financing from StreetShares, borrower members must display characteristics indicative of creditworthiness. These characteristics include factors such as business revenue, time in business, cash flows, assets or inventory, and financial and credit variables. StreetShares currently lends in 45 states and the District of Columbia. StreetShares state-by-state lending authorization is subject to change based upon market conditions and regulatory requirements.
A business may apply for a lending product through our website. In applying through StreetShares’ online application, borrower members are required to provide relevant financial and business data about their business and include information regarding the personal guarantor(s), if applicable. Multiple methods and processes are utilized to verify the information provided by potential borrower members. Additionally, borrower members are required to provide their bank account information and proof of ownership over their bank information before a loan is issued to the business.
StreetShares uses technology, data analytics, and a proprietary credit scoring model to assess the creditworthiness of each small business borrower applicant. If the applicant meets the established criteria, StreetShares funds a portion of the deal itself, setting the interest rates and expected loss rates according to proprietary credit and financial models, and place the remaining portion onto our funding platform for our investors to review and to invest in, if they so choose. StreetShares currently funds the lending products with a variety of sources, including funds from institutional, accredited, and retail investors.
| 1 |
Under the Company’s business model, StreetShares generates revenue in multiple ways:
success, origination or other fees charged to borrowers;
servicing fees charged to investors;
fees from our contract financing products; and
interest generated from the portion of each loan that we fund through our direct lending account.
(b) Contract Financing Products:
StreetShares’ contract receivables financing products are offered to government and commercial contractors for a per-invoice-amount of up to $2,000,000.
StreetShares’ invoice receivables/contract financing product is not a lending product. Rather, the Company purchases account receivables (invoices) from contractors performing work on government and commercial contracts. StreetShares’ contract financing product provides a reliable source of funding that helps contractors smooth out their cash flows and maintain predictable funding that keeps their operations running. Because the payment times on contracts can be irregular and spiky, StreetShares’ product allows contractors to have peace of mind to perform their contractual obligations without worrying about how to pay their employees.
StreetShares advances a percentage of the purchased invoice (up to 90% of the invoice amount), and when the government or commercial entity remits funds for the work performed under the contract, StreetShares then deducts its fees and pays the remaining balance to the contractor. In many instances, payment by the government or commercial entities can be 30 or 60 days (or longer). StreetShares removes the uncertainty with a transparent and affordable product that keeps contractors moving forward with their obligations.
StreetShares contract financing is available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and applications may be made directly through StreetShares’ website. As with all StreetShares products, terms are subject to change based on market conditions and regulatory requirements.
(c) Investing Products:
StreetShares Notes (also known as Veteran Business Bonds (“VBB”))
StreetShares Notes, the subject of this Form 1-K, are available to retail investors, who purchase notes via StreetShares’ website at www.streetshares.com. Funds from the sale of StreetShares Notes are invested into loans, lines of credit, and invoice financing, or other products at the discretion of the Company. Investors in StreetShares Notes do not directly invest in small business loans originated by StreetShares; rather the investments are aggregated with funds from the Company’s direct lending account, institutional capital providers, and accredited investors, which collectively fund the lending products.
The offering of StreetShares Notes is being conducted as a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3) of the Securities Act. Continuous offerings allow for a sale of securities to be made over time, with no specific offering periods or windows in which securities are available. Sales of securities may happen sporadically over the term of the continuous offering, and are not required to be made on any preset cadence. The active acceptance of investors, whether via the StreetShares platform or otherwise, may at times be briefly paused, or the ability to subscribe may be periodically restricted to certain individuals to allow the Company time to effectively and accurately process and settle subscriptions that have been received. The Company may discontinue this offering at any time.
Proceeds from the sales of StreetShares Notes may be used for any purpose, including, but not limited to, funding a pool of loans (such as loans to veteran-owned small businesses), or used for general corporate purposes. We retain final discretion over the use proceeds. For more information on VBB, please see the Company’sOffering Statement.
StreetShares Pro Securities
StreetShares also offers debt securities to accredited investors only, under Rule 506(b) of Regulation D (“StreetShares Pro”). These Regulation D securities are made via Member Payment Dependent Notes (“MPDNs”). StreetShares does not advertise its StreetShares Pro products and relies upon word of mouth, its network of interested accredited investors, and its relationships in the alternative lending community. The MPDNs in which StreetShares Pro investors invest fund a portion of the loans, lines of credit, and contract financing originated to StreetShares members. These Regulation D securities are unregistered securities that are dependent upon the performance of a portion of the Company’s note from the borrower and are only available for purchase by accredited investors. StreetShares Pro investors are able to utilize an auto-invest feature to help diversify their investments across the Company’s financing portfolio. If the note performs according to its terms, the investor receives the principal and interest portions of the note in proportion to their investment, less applicable servicing fees. If the note doesn’t perform, payments to the investor will be limited to the pro-rata portion of any payments received, according to the respective principal balances funded by the investor, less applicable servicing fees.
| 2 |
(d) All StreetShares products are distributed via the Company’s website (www.streetshares.com) and are subject to change as market or regulatory needs dictate.
StreetShares Platforms
StreetShares currently operates two different online platforms: StreetShares Basic and StreetShares Pro. StreetShares Notes (which are offered to retail clients under Regulation A+) will only be offered on the StreetShares Basic site. StreetShares Pro offers payment-dependent notes to “accredited” and institutional investors under Regulation D.
Legal Proceedings
StreetShares is not subject to any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceedings. StreetShares further is not subject to legal proceedings others than those in the ordinary course of business (e.g. collections against defaulting borrowers).
Distinctive Characteristics and Risks
The Company operates in a highly regulated environment, and is subject to both federal and state regulatory regimes for its financing and investment products. Because of regulatory scrutiny overseeing financial services, StreetShares’ business offerings may be directly influenced by various statutes, laws, regulations, and rules. Changes in regulations, or in the way current or newly enacted federal or states regulations are applied to our business, or the increased cost due to compliance with these regulations, or inadvertent regulatory miscues, could all adversely affect our business. Ongoing compliance with Regulation A+, which is a relatively new regulatory scheme subject to the potential for more, and more frequent, amendments and differing interpretations, and the reporting thereof to the SEC could be more costly than anticipated.
The Company is an alternative lender, and the online alternative lending industry has yet to endure a major adverse phase in the credit cycle. Worsening economic conditions nationwide or across the lending industry may result in decreased demand for our loans, cause our customers’ default rates to increase, or harm our operating results.
Finally, the Company is an early-stage, venture-capital funded company with a history of net operating losses, and we may not become profitable. We rely on outside capital to grow loan volume and our business, and our business may not be able to adequately scale its loan product distribution. Holders of StreetShares Notes are exposed to the credit risk of the Company.
Investors should read this report, our other filings with the SEC, and the Offering Statement filed with the SEC with respect to the StreetShares Notes for a full list of potential risks related to the industry, the Company, and StreetShares Notes.
Underwriting Process
In order to qualify, business borrower applicants must be approved through our proprietary underwriting process, which analyzes credit and financial data of both the business and the business owner. Our proprietary credit loss prediction model is based on several business demographic factors (including business revenue, age of business, cash flows, and other variables) combined with certain consumer bureau attributes (including income, revolving debt, personal credit score(s), delinquency history, age of credit file, and number of inquiries). If the applicant passes the initial underwriting criteria, the business is assigned a proprietary StreetShares Score. The determination of what dollar amount to approve, how the product will be priced, and whether to include a blanket lien is based on the above analysis, as well as additional factors (including length of loan, estimated default rates by type and grade, and general economic environment). At that point, the request is approved for placement on the StreetShares platform for funding.
| 3 |
Treatment of Investor Balances
Some portions of StreetShares’ loans are funded by investors. StreetShares investor funds are held in a bank account under a separate, but wholly owned subsidiary of StreetShares, Inc. These bank accounts are currently held at EagleBank, headquartered in Bethesda, MD. StreetShares investors have no direct relationship with EagleBank. StreetShares may change the bank used to hold these funds from time to time.
Loan Servicing
StreetShares has built a platform accessible by customers through online account servicing and manages investor servicing in-house. Loan servicing is managed by Portfolio Financial Servicing Company (“PFSC”), a 25-year-old servicer of contracts for both commercial and consumer portfolios. PFSC has over $30 billion in assets under management as primary servicer, successor servicer, and backup servicer.
Fees on StreetShares Notes
Unlike our institutional and accredited investors, StreetShares Note investors are not charged a servicing fee for their investments, but may be charged a transaction fee if their method of deposit requires us to incur an expense. StreetShares Note investors who withdraw their funds before the anniversary of their first investment are subject to a 1% withdrawal fee that is capped at the amount of interest accrued at the time of withdrawal.
Tax and Legal Treatment
StreetShares Notes will receive interest income. At the end of the calendar year, investors with over $10 of realized interest will receive a form 1099-INT. The interest earned on the StreetShares Notes investment will need to be declared in accordance with the United States Tax Code. An investor’s tax situation will likely vary greatly and all tax and accounting questions should be directed towards a Certified Public Accountant. StreetShares does not provide tax or legal advice to StreetShares Notes investors and encourages investors to seek out advice from their professional advisers to fully understand their particular tax situations.
StreetShares is a nonbank, commercial lender, and must comply with the various commercial lending regulations as required on a state-by-state basis. State legal and regulatory requirements may be subject to interpretation and/or are subject to change. StreetShares obtains all necessary licenses, certifications, and registrations where clearly required in each state in which StreetShares has chosen to lend. While each state has specific rules for how lending activities should be conducted, most states do not require licenses in order to engage in commercial lending activities. As such StreetShares has not obtained licenses across all of the jurisdictions in which it lends, preferring instead to pursue licenses when necessary. StreetShares currently holds a California Finance Lender License (CA License # 60DBO44064). As a lender, loans and lines of credit originated by the Company are generally subject to the lending laws of the Company’s home state of Virginia. The Company maintains a dialogue with regulators in states in which it operates to ensure that StreetShares’ business operates within the bounds of the law and the principles of fairness and goodwill.
Item 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are an online platform for small business loans. As of June 30, 2018, we have originated more than $89 million in lending products and collected more than $72 million in customer payments since we made our first loan in July 2014. We generate revenue through success and origination fees, servicing fees we charge to institutional and accredited investors, fees from our invoice financing products, and interest generated by the portion of each loan we fund through our direct lending account. As an early-stage startup, rapid growth in both revenue and expenses is expected.
Operating Results
Revenues
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, we had operating revenues of $3,078,766 compared to $2,168,067 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The increase is a result of the growth of our lending operations and the recognition of success fees, origination fees, servicing fees, factor fees, and interest revenues.
| 4 |
Operating Expenses
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, we had operating expenses of $7,606,291 compared to $6,728,236 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The largest line items of operating expenses were payroll and payroll taxes, marketing expenses, and fees and subscriptions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
To date, we have funded our lending activities and operations primarily through equity and convertible debt financings, bank lines of credit, revenues, and institutional and accredited investments in our loans.
Equity and Convertible Debt Financings
As referenced in the December 31, 2017 Form 1-SA, Effective January 18, 2018, the Company closed on a B round funding with $23,100,000 of equity raised through several investors, led by Rotunda Capital Partners, LLC (“Rotunda”).
Lines of Credit
In September 2017, the Company closed on a line of credit from Federated Information Technologies, Inc. with a principal balance of $500,000. As of June 30, 2018, the principal balance was $500,000. In September 2017, the Company also closed on an additional line of credit from an entity owned by Jeffrey Valcourt. As of June 30, 2018, the balance on the line from Mr. Valcourt entity was paid in full and closed, he holds a board seat with the Company. The founder and president of Federated Information Technologies, Inc. is a boardmember observer.
Notes Payable
In July 2017, the Company raised $325,000 in the form of promissory notes offered to the Company’s Reg. D investors. As of June 30, 2018, the principal balance was $325,000. In September 2017, the Company closed on a note payable from Federated Information Technologies, Inc. with a principal balance of $500,000. As of June 30, 2018, the principal balance was paid in full and closed. The founder and president of FederatedInformation Technologies, Inc. is a board member observer.
Operating Capital and Expenditure Requirements
We may require additional capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts and additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. The sale of equity may result in dilution to our stockholders and those securities may have rights senior to those of our common shares.
Trends and Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Investment in Long-Term Growth
The core elements of our growth strategy include acquiring new customers, broadening our distribution capabilities through strategic partners, enhancing our data and analytics capabilities, expanding our product offerings, extending customer lifetime value, and expanding geographically. We plan to continue to invest significant resources to accomplish these goals, and we anticipate that our operating expenses will continue to increase for the foreseeable future, particularly our human resources, sales and marketing, and technology and analytics expenses. These investments are intended to contribute to our long-term growth, but they may affect our near-term profitability.
| 5 |
Originations
Our revenues have grown since our inception in 2013 primarily as a result of launching our first lending product in July 2014 and subsequent growth in originations. Growth in originations has been driven by the addition of new borrowers, increasing business from existing and previous borrowers, increasing average loan size, and new lending products, as other factors such as effective interest yields and annual loan loss rates have remained relatively constant over this time.
Future growth will continue to depend, in part, on attracting new customers on both the borrower and investor side of our platform. We plan to increase our sales and marketing spending to attract these customers as well as continue to increase our analytics spending to better identify potential customers. We continue to expect to rely on the veterans affinity networks for borrower acquisition and investor growth. We also originate loans through our direct and strategic partner channels. As we have invested more funds in our marketing efforts, such as conference sponsorship and speaking events, and focused on growing strategic partnerships, the relative share of each channel to our originations to new customers and to all customers has increased. We expect this trend to continue to the extent that we increase our investment in our direct and strategic partner channels.
We believe the behavior of our repeat borrowers will be important to our future growth. The extent to which we generate repeat business from our borrowers will be an important factor in our continued revenue growth and our visibility into future revenue.
Summary of Critical Accounting Policies
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. In accordance with GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report (see pages F-7 - F-12), and we believe those accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The term “cash”, as used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, includes currency on hand in checking, savings, and money market accounts held with financial institutions. We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be a considered a cash equivalent. We maintain our cash in bank accounts, which at times may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. As of June 30, 2018, interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing accounts held in an insured institution are aggregated and guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and we believe these funds are not exposed to any significant credit risk.
Lending Assets
We originate funding products that can be categorized as short-term (maturity less than 1 year) and long-term (maturity greater than 1 year). We value the full value of these products at the outstanding value of principal reduced by a valuation allowance for loan losses estimated as of the balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2018, we had originated 2,429 products and reported $11,616,426 in gross lending assets.
| 6 |
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”), is established through periodic charges to the provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the ALL when we believe that the future collection of principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALL.
We evaluate the creditworthiness of the portfolio on an aggregated basis. We use a proprietary forecasted loss rate at origination for new products that have not had the opportunity to make payments when they are first funded. The allowance is subjective, as it requires material estimates, including such factors as historical trends, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrower’s ability to repay, and current economic conditions. Other qualitative factors considered may include items such as: uncertainties in forecasting and modeling techniques, seasonality, business conditions, and emerging trends. Recovery of the carrying value of our financial products is dependent to a great extent on conditions that may be beyond our control. Any combination of the aforementioned factors may adversely affect our portfolio resulting in increased delinquencies and losses and could require additional provisions for credit losses, which could impact future periods. As of June 30, 2018, we had originated 2,429 products and reported $11,616,426 in gross lending assets. As of June 30, 2018, we have charged off 99 loans, with a combined principal balance of $1,084,738, of which 62 loans representing a combined principal balance of $623,539 were charged off in fiscal year 2018.
Property, Equipment, and Software
Property, equipment and software (“PE&S”), consists of computers and electronics, office equipment and furniture, and capitalized internal-use software costs. PE&S are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense are recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. For electronics, the Company estimates a 2- year useful life. All other PE&S assets are estimated to have a 2–5 year useful life or lease-term, if shorter, for leasehold improvements.
Our internally developed software includes the costs incurred to develop the website, platform, and other affiliated costs are capitalized beginning when the preliminary project stage is completed, we have authorized funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed and used to perform its intended function. Capitalized software costs primarily include salary costs for employees directly involved in the development efforts, software licenses acquired, and fees paid to outside consultants and contractors.
Software development costs incurred prior to meeting the criteria for capitalization and costs incurred for training and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Certain upgrades and enhancements to existing software that result in additional functionality are capitalized. Capitalized software development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over their expected useful lives, generally 2 to 5 years.
Loans and Payable to Investors
The Company uses Member Payment Dependent Notes (“MPDNs”) to fund a portion of our financial products. MPDNs are unregistered securities that are dependent upon the performance of a portion of the Company’s note to the borrower and available for purchase by accredited (Reg. D) investors. Investors specify the amount to fund of each product and the term to maturity matches the term of the underlying note. If the note performs according to its terms, the investor receives the principal and interest portions of the note in proportion to their investment, less applicable servicing fees. If the note does not perform, payments to the investor will be limited to the pro-rata portion of any payments received, according to the respective principal balances funded by the investor, less applicable servicing fees. At this time, StreetShares MPDNs are available to accredited (Reg. D.) investors only.
| 7 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue primarily through interest, origination fees, fees from financed invoices, late/other fees, and servicing fees on originated lending products. Interest income on these products is calculated based on the contractual interest rate and recorded as interest income as earned. The Company allows borrowers to “prepay” the principal balance of their notes without having to pay the future expected interest. The Company, however, requires collection of the interest accrued through the next scheduled payment date. Service fees are fees charged to investors on a weekly basis based on a percentage of the payments received from borrowers. The service fees are recorded as income when payments are received. The origination fees, relating to the portion of the loans the Company owns, are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method.
Origination fees collected but not yet recognized as revenue are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company views the value of the auction as being delivered upon acceptance of the note. As such, the auction success fees, relating to the portion owned by investors, are recognized when received upon the funding of the notes.
The Company generates revenue on invoice receivables through interest income, factor fees, commitment fees, and enrollment fees. Interest income on invoice receivables is calculated using the simple interest method on the daily balances of principal outstanding. Interest income, factor fees, and commitment fees are accrued until funds are received for the purchased factored receivable. Enrollment fees are recognized at the time of purchase of factored receivables.
The Company charges fees for late payments, ACH return fees, and other fees charged by providers for failed payments. Generally, fees are used to cover costs incurred for collection. Any remaining portions of these fees are provided to the investors on a weighted basis by principal invested in the particular note. As such, the Company occasionally receives fee revenue from their investment portion in each loan.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax asset and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized.
Uncertain tax positions are recognized only when we believe it is more likely than not that the tax position will be upheld on examination by the taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
We file income tax returns in the United States for federal, state, and local jurisdictions, where necessary. We are potentially subject to a tax examination for a period of three years from the date a return is originally filed or filed as amended, which as of June 30, 2018 includes all returns filed since our 2014 tax year return. No income tax returns are currently under examination by taxing authorities.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Our stock-based compensation is measured based on the grant date fair value of the awards and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis of the period during which the option holder is required to perform services in exchange for the award (vesting period). We use the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to estimate fair value of stock options. The use of the option valuation model requires subjective assumptions, including the fair value of our common stock, the expected term of the option and the expected stock price volatility based on peer companies. Additionally, the recognition of stock-based compensation expense requires an estimation of the number of options that will ultimately vest and the number of options that will ultimately be forfeited. For the period July 15, 2013 (inception) through June 30, 2018, the Company has incurred $142,211 of stock-based compensation expense.
| 8 |
Marketing Costs
All marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Marketing expense for the year ended June 30, 2018 was $798,302.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
StreetShares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of StreetShares, Inc., (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in redeemable stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of StreetShares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
As of and for the Years Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
Note 1 - Organization
StreetShares, Inc. was incorporated on December 3, 2013 under the laws of the state of Delaware. StreetShares, Inc. wholly owns and operates five subsidiaries: StreetShares Lending Company, LLC (“SSLC”), a Delaware limited liability company, which was formed on July 15, 2013; StreetShares Investor Interest Holding, LLC (“SSIIH”) which had a name change to StreetShares Funding, LLC (“SSF”) on December 10, 2015, a Delaware limited liability company, which was formed on October 28, 2014; StreetShares Investors Servicing, LLC (“SSIS”), a Delaware limited liability company, which was formed on December 8, 2015; STR Co-Investment, LLC (“STR”), a Delaware limited liability company, which was formed on December 8, 2015, StreetShares Public Investor Holdings, LLC (“SSPIH”), a Delaware limited liability company, which was formed on January 13, 2017, and shall each have an indefinite life pursuant to its operating agreements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of StreetShares, Inc., SSLC, SSF, SSIS, STR and SSPIH. Collectively, these entities are known as “the Company”.
The Company began operations on July 15, 2013, which primarily included start-up and organizational activities. The Company originated its first loan in July 2014.
The Company’s principal activity is providing business financing products to small businesses located throughout the United States. Effective July 1, 2016, the Company offers loans from $2,000 to $150,000 for terms of three months, six months, one year, 18 months, two years, and three years. In December 2016, the Company began purchasing invoice receivables from small businesses with U.S. Federal and State Government contracts. In October 2017, the Company began purchasing invoice receivables from small business with contracts from highly rated Fortune 500 companies. These invoices can range from $2,000 to $1,000,000.
The Company makes an investment representing a portion of every approved loan, line, or factored invoice and places the remaining portion for auction on their marketplace. The Company uses their technology and data analytics to aggregate data about the small business and its owner, assess the creditworthiness of both, approve or deny their loan request, and then price the loan accordingly. Potential regulation D (“Reg. D and Institutional”) loan investors bid an amount of the loan at the interest rate specified by the Company. Prior to August 15, 2016, the potential Reg. D and Institutional investor bid an amount of the loan and required interest rate, then at the end of the auction, the aggregate of the lowest bids required to fund the approved loan amount were consolidated into one term loan for the borrower at the weighted average rate. Each Reg. D and Institutional investor who won the auction received their required interest rate.
The Company qualified for Regulation A+ (“Reg. A+”) from the Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 17, 2016 to offer StreetShares Notes (marketed as “Veteran Business Bonds” and sometimes referred to as “VBB”) to investors.
As an early stage, venture-funded company that is not yet profitable, we rely heavily on capital investments to fund our operations. Based on our current financial situation, it is possible we will require additional capital within the next 24 months beyond our currently anticipated amounts to fund the operations of the Company. The Company is currently, and consistently, engaged in ongoing discussions with providers who have the financial wherewithal to provide such funding. Notwithstanding these discussions, additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. In the event the Company is not able to acquire funding, there are several options that can be enacted that would allow the Company to achieve a break-even state or help prolong the duration of the Company until funding can be obtained. These options include, but are not limited to, scaling back of marketing efforts significantly, scaling back of human resources significantly, obtaining additional debt financing, asset and or business unit divestitures, and the potential sale of the Company at a discount.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Use of Estimates - The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for loan losses, stock-based compensation expense, valuation of warrants, capitalized software development costs, the useful lives of assets, and the valuation of deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current events, third party valuations and opinions, and other factors they believe to be reasonable. These estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective in nature; actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions and such differences may be material.
Cash and Cash Equivalents- The term cash, as used in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, includes currency on hand and checking, saving, and money market accounts held with financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be a cash equivalent. Interest bearing and non-interest bearing accounts held in an insured institution are aggregated and guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk.
Cash Reserve for Reg. A+- The Company holds a cash reserve to cover losses on assets funded by Reg. A+ investors. The reserve is funded quarterly based upon the expected twelve months future losses on the portion of the portfolio funded by the Reg. A+ proceeds.
Advances from Reg. D and Institutional Investors- The Company requires cash deposits from prospective Reg. D and Institutional investors (lenders) in anticipation of their participation in future loan auction activities. Investor Funds, if not bid in an auction, are refundable and, accordingly, are included as a component of Payable to Reg. D and Institutional investors.
Loans- The Company values their loans at the principal balance outstanding reduced by a valuation allowance for loan losses estimated as of the consolidated balance sheet date.
Allowance for Loan Losses- The allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) is established through periodic charges to the provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged against the ALL when the Company believes that the future collection of principal is unlikely. Subsequent net recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALL.
The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its portfolio on an aggregated basis. The allowance is subjective as it requires material estimates, including such factors as historical trends, known factors applicable to individual loans, such as delinquency status, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrower’s ability to repay, and current economic conditions. Other qualitative factors considered may include items such as uncertainties in forecasting and modeling techniques, seasonality, business conditions, and emerging trends. Recovery of the carrying value of loans is dependent to a great extent upon conditions that may be beyond the Company’s control. Any combination of the aforementioned factors may adversely affect the Company’s loans resulting in increased delinquencies and loan losses and could require additional provisions for credit losses, which could impact future periods. The allocation of the allowance for the loan losses between the Company and the Reg. D and Institutional investors is determined on a pro-rata basis according to the relative principal balances outstanding funded by each party. The Reg. D and Institutional investor portion of the allowance does not affect the operations of the Company, as it is a reduction in the amount payable to Reg. D and Institutional investors.
Impaired and Charged-Off Loans - The Company’s loans and traditional lines of credits (“loans”) are paid back on a weekly basis. The Company considers a loan to be late when it has been over 7 days since last payment. Loans with over 14 days since last payment are considered to be delinquent and impairments are applied. The Company continues to accrue interest on late and delinquent loans. Loans are returned to current status when the Company receives all accrued payments, interest, and fees required with the original amortization schedule and, in the Company’s judgment, will continue to make their payments as scheduled.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Generally, after 150 days of delinquency, the Company will make an assessment of whether an individual loan should be charged off based on the payment status and information gathered through collection efforts. A loan is charged off when the Company determines it is probable that they will be unable to collect all of the remaining balance. Charge-offs are allocated to the Company and the Reg. D and Institutional investors on a pro-rata basis according to the relative principal balances outstanding funded by each party.
Accounts Receivable Factored Invoices -In December 2016, the Company began offering advances to small businesses with direct or subcontracted US Federal and State Government contracts. In October 2017, the Company began purchasing invoice receivables from small businesses with contracts from highly rated Fortune 500 companies. Such advance payments, which are interest earning, are recorded as reductions to the amounts due to the factoring clients for the purchase of factored receivables. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the funds employed (factored receivables less amount due to factoring clients less ALL) were $2,567,707 and $152,397, respectively.
Notes due from Reg. D and Institutional Investors- The Company places bids on behalf of certain Reg. D and Institutional investors, as per agreements, on the Company’s marketplace. These bids are transferred to the Reg. D and Institutional investors platform account after a required holding period. The notes due is the amount due to the Company from the Reg. D and Institutional investors for the bids placed on their behalf of loans in their portfolio.
Unfunded Loan Accrual and Off-Balance Sheet Exposure- The Company began offering a line of credit product in April 2016. An accrual is recognized for the Company’s credit loss on the unfunded exposure of the line of credit and an expense is recorded in general and administrative expense. The credit loss is calculated using the same method as the allowance for loan losses. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, 50 percent and 50 percent, respectively, were expected to be drawn based on historical data. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company expects to fund approximately 65 percent and 15 percent, respectively, of the amount expected to be drawn. Reg. D and Institutional investors have the ability to, but are not obligated to, fund the remaining amount expected to be drawn.
As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the total line of credit unfunded credit exposure were approximately $2,484,000 and $2,079,000, respectively, of which approximately $1,614,000 and $312,000, respectively, were related to the undrawn exposure expected to be funded by the Company. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the total line of credit unfunded credit loss were approximately $121,000 and $98,000, respectively, of which approximately $79,000 and $15,000, respectively, were related to the undrawn exposure expected to be funded by the Company.
Property, Equipment, and Software- Property, equipment, and software (“PE&S”) consist of computers and electronics, office equipment and furniture, and capitalized internal-use software costs. PE&S are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense are recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. For electronics, the Company estimates a five-year useful life. All other PE&S assets are estimated to have a two to five-year useful life or lease-term, if shorter, for leasehold improvements.
The Company’s internally developed software includes the costs incurred to develop the website, platform, and other affiliated costs and are capitalized when the preliminary project stage is completed, the Company has authorized funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed and used to perform its intended function. Capitalized software costs primarily include salary costs for employees directly involved in the development efforts, software licenses acquired, and fees paid to outside consultants and contractors. Software development costs incurred prior to meeting the criteria for capitalization and costs incurred for training and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Certain upgrades and enhancements to existing software that result in additional functionality are capitalized. Capitalized software development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over their expected useful lives, generally two to five years.

| Computer and electronics | 5 years | $ | 116,560 | $ | 79,678 | |||||
| Office equipment, furniture, and fixtures | 5 years | 3,543 | 3,543 | |||||||

| Property, Equipment, and Software, net | $ | 111,716 | $ | 95,967 | ||||||
Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $25,000 and $26,000, respectively, of which $4,593 and $4,593, respectively, related to amortization of deferred financing costs. As of June 30, 2018 deferred financing costs were fully amortized.
The Company is required to assess potential impairment of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no events or changes that resulted in an impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets.
Loans and Payable to Reg. D and Institutional Investors - The Company uses Member Payment Dependent Notes (“MPDNs”) to fund a portion of loans, lines of credit, and factored contracts to borrowers. MPDNs are unregistered securities that are dependent upon the performance of a portion of the Company’s note from the borrower. Reg. D and Institutional investors specify the amount of each asset in which to invest (if available). The term to maturity matches the term of the underlying note. If the loan performs according to its terms, the Reg. D and Institutional investors receive the principal and interest portions of the loan in proportion to their investment, less applicable servicing fees. If the loan doesn’t perform, payments to the Reg. D and Institutional investors will be limited to the pro-rata portion of any payments received, according to the respective principal balances funded by the Reg. D or Institutional investor, less applicable servicing fees. MPDNs are available to accredited and Institutional investors only. Some Institutional investors purchase actual loan participations and not MPDNs.
Payable to Reg. A+ Investors - The Company offers StreetShares Notes to Reg. A+ investors at a fixed rate with a minimum investment of $25. The note matures three years from the date of the purchase agreement. The Company uses the proceeds from Reg. A+ investors primarily to fund loans, lines of credit, and invoice receivable purchases made on the Company’s marketplace. As such, the proceeds from Reg. A+ investors are not directly invested on the Company’s marketplace and therefore are not directly subject to the loan loss risk of any one asset.
As of June 30, 2018, future annual maturities of notes due to Reg. A+ investors were as follows:
| Period Ending June 30 | Amount | |||
| 2019 | $ | 381,925 | ||
| 2020 | 2,412,125 | |||
| 2021 | 4,067,225 | |||

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Revenue Recognition - The Company generates revenue primarily through interest, auction success fees, origination fees, and service fees on its lending products. Interest income on lending assets is calculated based on the contractual interest rate of the loan and recorded as interest income as earned. The Company allows borrowers to “prepay” the principal balance of their loans without having to pay the future expected interest. The Company, however, requires collection of the interest accrued through the next expected payment date, if applicable. Service fees are fees charged to Reg. D and Institutional investors based on a percentage of the payments received from borrowers. The service fees are recorded as income when payments are received. The origination fees, relating to the portion of the loans the Company owns, are deferred and recognized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. Origination fees collected but not yet recognized as revenue are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company views the value of the auction as being delivered upon acceptance of the loans. As such, the auction success fees, relating to the portion owned by Reg. D and Institutional investors, are recognized when received upon the funding of the loans.
The Company charges fees for late payments, ACH return fees, and other fees charged by providers for failed payments. Generally, fees are used to cover costs incurred for collection. Any remaining portion of these fees is provided to the loan’s Reg. D and Institutional investors on a weighted basis by amount invested in the particular loan. As such, the Company receives fee revenue from their investment portion in each loan.
The Company generates revenue on invoice receivables through interest income, factor fees, commitment fees, and enrollment fees. Interest income on invoice receivables is calculated using the simple interest method on the daily balances of principal outstanding. Interest income, factor fees, and commitment fees are accrued until funds are received for the purchased factored receivable. Enrollment fees are recognized at the time of purchase of factored receivables.
The Company generates revenue through service fees charged to Reg. A+ investors. Service fees are fees charged to Reg. A+ investors for payments made to the Reg. A+ investors in accordance with the terms of the investor membership agreement.
Income Taxes - The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which those tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized.
Uncertain tax positions are recognized only when the Company believes it is more likely than not that the tax position will be upheld on examination by the taxing authorities based on the merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States for federal, state, and local jurisdictions. The Company is potentially subject to a tax examination for a period of three years from the date a return is originally filed or filed as amended, which as of June 30, 2018, includes all returns filed since the Company’s 2014 tax year return. No income tax returns are currently under examination by taxing authorities.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - The Company’s stock-based compensation is measured based on fair value of the awards at the grant date and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the period during which the option holder is required to perform services in exchange for the award (vesting period). The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to estimate fair value of stock options. The use of the option valuation model requires subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, the expected term of the option, and the expected stock price volatility based on peer companies. Additionally, the recognition of stock-based compensation expense requires an estimation of the number of options that will ultimately vest and the number of options that will ultimately be forfeited.
MarketingCosts - All marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Marketing expense for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $798,000 and $1,727,000, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - During May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU No. 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. During 2015 and 2016, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09; ASU No. 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in Topic 606; ASU No. 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, which clarifies the identification of performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance; ASU No. 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” and ASU No. 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606”, which both affect narrow aspects of Topic 606. Topic 606 (as amended) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The company may elect to apply the guidance earlier, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. Management is currently evaluating this guidance (as amended) and the impact it will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
During February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
During March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
During June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU No. 2016-13 requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
During February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reclassifications of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. ASU 2018-02 allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in this Update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The ASU is effective for years beginning after December 31, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not adopted the provisions of ASU 2018-02. Management does not believe the provisions of this guidance will have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Loans, Factored Receivables and Payable to Reg. D and Institutional Investors
The Company’s marketplace allows borrowers, Reg. D, and Institutional investors to engage in transactions relating to StreetShares’ lending products. SSLC originates loans and accounts receivable factored invoices (factored receivables) to the borrowers while SSF issues notes to Reg. D and Institutional investors as a means to allow the investors to invest in the associated loans and factored receivables. Shortly after origination the borrower loans and factored receivables are sold in their entirety to SSF for holding, servicing, receipt, and disbursement of received payments. SSF operates as a remote entity from SSI, as a wholly owned subsidiary whose only purpose is to hold and manage the loans and factored receivables, borrower repayments, and disbursements to investors.

Note 5 - Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2013, the Company adopted, and the stockholders approved the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“2014 EIP”). The 2014 EIP provides for the grant of incentive stock options to the Company’s employees and for the grant of non-statutory stock options to the Company’s employees, directors, advisors, and consultants. The Company was initially authorized to issue up to 1,765,000 shares of common stock. Under the 2014 EIP, stock options granted to eligible participants have a ten-year contractual life and generally vest and become fully exercisable at the end of the required service period. Options under the 2014 EIP are granted with exercise prices intended to be at least equal to the grant date fair market value of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The shares are subject to repurchase by the Company in the event of termination by the grantee at a price equal to the fair market value at the time of repurchase. The 2014 EIP also provides for the issuance of restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, and stock appreciation rights.
Certain employee and non-employee option agreements granted under the 2014 EIP allow for the early exercise of an option before vesting (“Early Exercise Option”); however, shares issued thereon remain subject to the restriction through the remainder of the original vesting schedule for the stock option award. The Company may repurchase an unvested Early Exercise Option at a price equal to the lower of the fair market value at the date of repurchase or the exercise price of the Early Exercise Option.

All stock awards made under the 2014 EIP are restricted as to transferability and to sale, and the Company has the right of first refusal on any resale of any stock owned by employees and non-employees pursuant to stock option exercises.
The Company calculates the estimated value of options granted to both employees and non-employees, including those whose original terms have been modified, using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. The Company records the related compensation expense over the requisite service period, normally the vesting life of the award, on a straight-line basis. The options pricing model includes the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected term, volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. The estimated expected term of an award is determined by reference to the simplified method commonly used in the absence of significant and meaningful option history. The Company has estimated the expected volatility by reference to historical volatilities of similar publicly traded companies’ common stock over the most recent period commensurate with the estimated expected term of the awards. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury bond rate in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield is based on the average dividend yield over the expected term of the option.

Note 7 - Income Taxes
The Company records deferred income taxes to reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences, if any, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and the amounts used for income tax purposes. At June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s net deferred tax asset consisted primarily of differences in the basis of property, equipment, and software and its taxable net operating losses available for carryforward. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset, as management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to benefit from the net deferred tax asset. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect a benefit for income taxes. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company has estimated it has a total domestic Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $4,922,948 and $4,288,000, respectively, which will begin to expire in 2034. Utilization of the Company’s domestic federal NOL may be subject to an annual limitation due to the “change of ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization.

Note 7 - Income Taxes- Continued
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, (2) eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized, and (3) bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of qualified property. Because the Company maintains a valuation allowance on its entire net deferred tax asset, the change in the applicable tax rate does not have any effect on the financial statements.
