PROSPECTUS Subject to Completion, Dated January 22, 2018

 

FOREX DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

 

3,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AT $0.15 PER SHARE

 

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale of a maximum of 3,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common Shares”) by Forex Development Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“we”, “us”, “our”, “FDC”, “Company” or similar terms). There is no minimum for this offering. The offering will commence promptly on the date upon which this prospectus is declared effective by the SEC and will continue for 180 days. We will pay all expenses incurred in this offering. We are an “emerging growth company” under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

 

The offering of the 3,000,000 shares is a “best efforts” offering, which means that our officers and directors will use their best efforts to sell the common stock. There is no commitment by any person to purchase any shares. The shares will be offered at a fixed price of $0.15 per share for the duration of the offering. There is no minimum number of shares required to be sold to close the offering. Proceeds from the sale of the shares will be used to fund further development of the business. The Company has not made any arrangements to place funds received from share subscriptions in escrow, trust or similar account. Any funds raised from the offering will be immediately available to the Company for its immediate use.

 

There is no underwriter participation in the sale of the shares in this offering. The Company’s officers and directors will be solely responsible for selling shares in this offering and no commission will be paid on any sales.

 

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock and we have not applied for the listing or quotation of our common stock on any public market. We have arbitrarily determined the offering price of $0.15 per share in relation to this offering. The offering price bears no relationship to our assets, book value, earnings or any other customary investment criteria. After the effective date of the registration statement, we intend to seek a market maker to file an application with the OTCMarkets to have our common stock quoted on the OTCQB. We currently have no market maker who has agreed to list quotations for our stock. There is no assurance that an active trading market for our shares will develop or will be sustained if developed.

 

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that contained in this prospectus. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or of any sale of our common shares.

 

Our business is subject to many risks and investment in our shares of common stock will also involve a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 before investing in our shares of common stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had six active customers in the USA, UK, Malta, and the Dominican Republic compared to three active customers for the period from January 21 (date of inception) to September 30, 2016. Revenues generated from three active customers represented approximately 83% of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 100% total revenues from three customers for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016. To date we have raised an aggregate of $98,000 through a private placement of our common stock to our officers, directors and their friends and relatives and business associates. The Company closed the private placement on December 15, 2017. The Company has also raised funds in the form of a convertible note for the principal sum of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00). Proceeds from the private placement and the convertible note and stock sale were used for working capital and corporate development.

The Company’s principal offices are located at 1460 Broadway, New York, NY 10036. Our telephone number is (877) 445 -6047.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, there is no public trading market for our common stock and no assurance that a trading market for our securities will ever develop.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the federal securities laws.

We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. For a description of the qualifications and other requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and certain elections that we have made due to our status as an emerging growth company, see “RISK FACTORS RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING AND OUR COMMON STOCK – WE ARE AN `EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY’ AND WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN IF THE REDUCED DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES WILL MAKE OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS” on page 6 of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

 

This investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed, and the value of our stock could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to the Company

 

We may need to obtain additional financing which may not be available.

 

We need the proceeds from this offering to implement our business plan and expand our operations as described in the “Plan of Operation” section of this prospectus. As of September 30, 2017, we had cash in the amount of $ 534,977 and liabilities of $1,063,268. As of this date, we have generated $486,705 cumulative revenue since January 21, 2016 and just had our first quarter with positive net income for the period ending September 30, 2017. The proceeds of this offering may not be sufficient for us to achieve future profitable operations. We need additional funds to achieve a sustainable sales level where ongoing operations can be funded out of revenues. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.

 

We have a limited history of operations and accordingly there is no track record that would provide a basis for assessing our ability to conduct successful commercial activities. We may not be successful in carrying out our business objectives.

 

We were incorporated on January 21, 2016 and to date, even though we have generated revenues, we are also involved in organizational activities, obtaining growth financing and developing our new technologies to meet the demand of our customers. Accordingly, strategic decision making by management, fund-raising ability, and other factors that would allow an investor to assess the likelihood that we will be successful as an emerging and rapidly growing company which was formed to engage in the financial technology business is limited. As of September 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $543,036. There is a substantial risk that we will not be successful in our development and sales activities, or if initially successful, in thereafter generating significant operating revenues or in achieving profitable operations.

 

Our business strategy may result in increased volatility of revenues and earnings resulting in uncertainty of profitability

 

Our business strategy may result in increased volatility of revenues and earnings. As we will only develop a limited number of products and services at a time, our overall success will depend on a limited number of products and services, which may cause variability and unsteady profits and losses depending on the products and services offered.

 

Our revenues and our profitability may be adversely affected by economic conditions and changes in the financial markets. Our business is also subject to general economic risks that could adversely impact the results of operations and financial condition.

 

Because of the anticipated nature of the products and services that we will attempt to develop, it is difficult to accurately forecast revenues and operating results and these items could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include, among other things, the following:

 

  Our ability to raise sufficient capital to take advantage of opportunities and generate sufficient revenues to cover expenses.
     
  Our ability to source strong opportunities with sufficient risk adjusted returns.
     
  Our ability to manage our capital and liquidity requirements based on changing market conditions generally and changes in the developing FX industries.
     
  The acceptance of the terms and conditions of our licenses and/or the acceptance of our royalties and fees.
     
  The amount and timing of operating and other costs and expenses.
     
  The nature and extent of competition from other companies that may reduce market share and create pressure on pricing and investment return expectations.
     
  Adverse changes in the national and regional economies in which we will participate, including, but not limited to, changes in our performance, capital availability, and market demand.
     
  Adverse changes in the projects in which we plan to invest which result from factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, a change in circumstances, capacity and economic impacts.
     
  Changes in laws, regulations, accounting, taxation, and other requirements affecting our operations and business.
     
  Our operating results may fluctuate from year to year due to the factors listed above and others not listed. At times, these fluctuations may be significant.

 

6

 

 

We may not be able to compete effectively against our competitors.

 

We expect to face strong competition from well-established companies and small to medium size public and private companies like us that may result in price reductions in the products and services that we sell. For a number of reasons, we may be at a competitive disadvantage in obtaining the facilities, technologies, employees, financing and other resources required to provide these products and services demanded by prospective customers. Our opportunity to obtain customers may be limited by our financial resources and other assets. We expect to be less able than our larger competitors to cope with generally increasing costs and expenses of doing business.

 

Our business model may not be sufficient to ensure our success in our intended market.

 

Our survival is currently dependent upon the success of our efforts to gain market acceptance and shares of our products and services in the global market including but limited to North America, Europe and Asia. Should our target market not be as responsive to our products and services as we anticipate, we may not have in place alternate products or services that we can offer to ensure our survival. For example, Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II/MiFIR) is legislation by European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA) that is set to be implemented across the European Union on January 3rd, 2018 and it will impact many FX businesses and the way they operate. We may not be able to develop our products and services in a timely manner to comply with such regulatory changes.

 

We depend on our intellectual property, and our failure to protect that intellectual property could adversely affect our future growth and success.

 

At present, the Company does not have any patents or trademarks on its proprietary technology solutions. We have not conducted formal evaluations to confirm that our technology solutions and products do not or will not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties. As a result, we cannot be certain that our technology and products do not or will not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties. If infringement were to occur, our software development, sales and distribution of such technology solutions or products might be disrupted. We have generally sought to protect such proprietary intellectual property in part by confidentiality agreements and, if applicable, inventors’ rights agreements with strategic partners and employees, although such agreements have not been put in place in every instance. We cannot guarantee that these agreements adequately protect our trade secrets and other intellectual property or proprietary rights. We also operate in regions where it may be difficult for us to enforce certain intellectual property rights against third parties who may have inappropriately acquired interests in our intellectual property rights by filing unauthorized trademark applications in such foreign countries because of their familiarity with our business.

 

We are significantly influenced by our officers, directors and entities affiliated with them.

 

In the aggregate, the voting power represented by the ownership of the Company’s common and preferred stock by management and affiliated parties, and assuming all Shares offered are sold, represents approximately 94% of voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company. These shareholders, if acting together, will be able to significantly influence all matters requiring approval by shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combinations transactions.

 

The loss of one or more of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could harm our business.

 

Our future performance is dependent on the ability to retain key personnel. The Company performance is substantially dependent on the performance of senior management. The loss of the services of any of its executive officers or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. Four of our officers are independent contractors and are not subject to the same control as employees, which may affect productivity. Although all but one, devote 100% of their time to the business of the Company there is no assurance that this will continue. The Company intends to convert all of these four officers to employee status in the second quarter of 2018. We also intend to negotiate employment contracts with each officer. If we do not succeed in retaining and motivating our existing personnel, we may be unable to grow effectively.

 

Management of growth will be necessary for us to be competitive

 

Successful expansion of our business will depend on our ability to effectively attract and manage staff, strategic business relationships, and shareholders. Specifically, we will need to hire skilled management and technical personnel as well as manage partnerships to navigate shifts in the general economic environment. Expansion has the potential to place significant strains on financial, management, and operational resources, yet failure to expand will inhibit our profitability goals.

 

Because we are small and do not have much capital, our marketing campaign may not be enough to attract enough customers to operate profitably. If we do not make a profit, our financial conditions will be adversely affected.

 

Due to the fact that we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our marketing activities and may not be able to make our services known to potential customers. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be able to attract enough customers to operate profitably. If we cannot operate profitably, our financial conditions will be negatively affected and will limit our ability to raise additional funding to increase our sales and marketing efforts.

 

There could be unidentified risks involved with an investment in our securities

 

The foregoing risk factors are all material risk that we are currently aware of. Additional risks may likely be experienced that is not presently foreseen by the Company. Prospective investors must not construe the information provided herein as constituting investment, legal, tax or other professional advice. Before making any decision to invest in our securities, you should read this entire prospectus and consult with your own investment, legal, tax and other professional advisors. An investment in our securities is suitable only for investors who can assume the financial risks of an investment in the Company for an indefinite period and who can afford to lose their entire investment. The Company makes no representations or warranties of any kind with respect to the likelihood of the success or the business of the Company, the value of our securities, any financial returns that may be generated or any tax benefits or consequences that may result from an investment in the Company.

The Company may be unable to respond to the rapid technological change in its industry and such change may increase costs and competition that may adversely affect its business

 

Rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards characterize the Company’s market. The continued growth of the Internet and intense competition in the Company’s industry exacerbate these market characteristics. The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies by continually improving the performance features and reliability of its products and services. The Company may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of its products and services. In addition, any new enhancements must meet the requirements of its current and prospective users and must achieve significant market acceptance. The Company could also incur substantial costs if it needs to modify its products and services or infrastructures to adapt to these changes.

 

The Company also expects that new competitors may introduce products, systems or services that are directly or indirectly competitive with the Company. These competitors may succeed in developing products, systems and services that have greater functionality or are less costly than the Company’s products, systems and services, and may be more successful in marketing such products, systems and services. Technological changes have lowered the cost of operating communications and computer systems and purchasing the software. These changes reduce the Company’s cost of providing services but also facilitate increased competition by reducing competitors’ costs in providing similar services. This competition could increase price competition and reduce anticipated profit margins.

 

The Company’s services are new, and its industry is evolving.

 

You should consider the Company’s prospects considering the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, especially companies in the rapidly evolving financial technology industry. To be successful in this industry, the Company must, among other things:

 

  develop and introduce functional and attractive service offerings;
     
  attract and maintain a large base of consumers;
     
  increase awareness of the Company brand and develop consumer loyalty;
     
  establish and maintain strategic relationships with distribution partners and service providers;
     
  respond to competitive and technological developments;
     
  build an operations structure to support the Company business; and
     
  attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

 

The Company cannot guarantee that it will succeed in achieving these goals, and its failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

 

Some of the Company’s products and services are new and are only in early stages of commercialization. The Company is not certain that these products and services will function as anticipated or be desirable to its intended market. Also, some of the Company’s products and services may have limited functionalities, which may limit their appeal to consumers and put the Company at a competitive disadvantage. If the Company’s current or future products and services fail to function properly or if the Company does not achieve or sustain market acceptance, it could lose customers or could be subject to claims which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

 

As is typical in a new and rapidly evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. Because the market for the Company is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any certainty the size of this market and its growth rate, if any. The Company cannot guarantee that a market for the Company will develop or that demand for Company services will emerge or be sustainable. If the market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors and may prevent or delay a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving FDC that is not approved by our board of directors, even if those events may be beneficial to the interest of our stockholders. For example, Mitchell Eaglstein, our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, is the holder of 2,600,000 authorized, issued and outstanding shares of our Class A Preferred Stock. Under our articles of incorporation, each share of Class A Preferred Stock is entitled to 50 non-cumulative votes per share on all matters presented to our stockholders for action. Consequently, Mr. Eaglstein has sufficient voting power to control the outcome of all corporate matters submitted to the vote of our common stockholders. Those matters could include the election of directors, changes in the size and composition of the board of directors, and mergers and other business combinations involving FDC. In addition, through his control of the board of directors and voting power, he may be able to control certain decisions, including decisions regarding the qualification and appointment of officers, dividend policy, access to capital (including borrowing from third-party lenders and the issuance of additional equity securities), and the acquisition or disposition of assets by FDC. In addition, the concentration of voting power in the hands of Mr. Eaglstein could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of FDC, even if the change in control would benefit our stockholders, and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud. Any ability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the future trading price of our common stock.

 

Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital.

 

Because of the Company’s limited resources, there are limited controls over information processing. There is inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our Company’s management is composed of a small number of individuals resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. To remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff. Currently, the Company is unable to hire additional staff to facilitate greater segregation of duties but will reassess its capabilities after completion of the Offering.

 

We may need and may be unable to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our stockholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business.

 

We have relied upon cash from financing activities and in the future, we intend to rely on revenues generated from operations to fund all the cash requirements of our activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate any significant cash from our operating activities in the future. Deteriorating economic conditions and the effects of ongoing military actions against terrorists may cause prolonged declines in investor confidence in and accessibility to capital markets. Future financing may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us. This financing may also dilute existing stockholders’ equity. Any debt financing or another financing of securities senior to common stock will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. At a minimum, we expect these covenants to include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations because we could lose our existing sources of funding and impair our ability to secure new sources of funding.

 

We will have broad discretion in using the net proceeds from this offering.

 

A substantial portion of the estimated net proceeds from this offering has been allocated to working capital and general corporate purposes. Accordingly, the Company will have broad discretion as to the application of such proceeds. You will not have an opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other factors upon which we base our decision on how to use the net proceeds.

As an “emerging growth company” under the jobs act, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

  have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
     
  provide an auditor attestation with respect to management’s report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting;
     
  comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);
     
  submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and
     
  disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues is $1.07 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates is $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

Until such time, however, we cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

 

We are selling our offering of 3,000,000 shares of common stock without an underwriter and may be unable to sell any shares.

 

Our offering of 3,000,000 shares is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell our shares through our officers and directors, who will receive no commissions. They will offer the shares to friends, family members, and business associates; however, there is no guarantee that they will be able to sell any of the shares. Unless they are successful in selling all the shares and we receive the proceeds from this offering, we may have to seek alternative financing to implement our business plan.

 

Because there are no minimum proceeds the Company can receive from its offering of 3,000,000 shares, the Company may not raise sufficient capital to implement its planned business and your entire investment could be lost.

 

The Company is making its offering of 3,000,000 shares of common stock on a best-efforts basis and there is no minimum amount of proceeds the Company may receive. Funds raised under this offering will not be held in trust or in any escrow account and all funds raised regardless of the amount will be available to the Company. In the event the company does not raise sufficient capital to implement its planned operations, your entire investment could be lost.

 

There is no liquidity and no established public market for our common stock and we may not be successful in obtaining a quotation on a recognized quotation service. In such event it may be difficult to sell your shares.

 

There is presently no public market for our shares. There can be no assurance that we will be successful at developing a public market or in having our common stock quoted on a quotation facility such as the OTC Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link. There are risks associated with obtaining a quotation, including that broker dealers will not be willing to make a market in our shares, or to request that our shares be quoted on a quotation service. In addition, even if a quotation is obtained, the OTC Bulletin Board, and/or OTC Link and similar quotation services are often characterized by low trading volumes, and price volatility, which may make it difficult for an investor to sell our common stock on acceptable terms. If trades in our common stock are not quoted on a quotation facility, it may be very difficult for an investor to find a buyer for their shares in our Company.

 

10

 

 

Our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the trading market in our securities may be limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

 

Under U.S. federal securities legislation, our common stock will constitute “penny stock”. Penny stock is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a potential investor’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. To approve an investor’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to can evaluate the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination. Brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. The disclosure also must be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock. As of the date of this prospectus, the Company had 68,533,333 shares of common stock outstanding. Accordingly, we may issue up to an additional 31,466,667 shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

 

We intend to become subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which will require us to incur audit fees and legal fees about the preparation of such reports. These additional costs will negatively affect our ability to earn a profit.

 

Following the effective date of the registration statement in which this prospectus is included, we will be required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder. To comply with such requirements, our independent registered auditors will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. Although we believe that the approximately $15,000 we have estimated for these costs should be sufficient for the 12-month period following the completion of our offering, the costs charged by these professionals for such services may vary significantly. Factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot accurately be determined now and may have a major negative effect on the cost and amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit.

 

However, for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (ii) the date that you become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

After, and if ever, we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we expect to incur significant additional expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with those requirements applicable to companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

We are not likely to issue dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We cannot assure you that our proposed operations will result in sufficient revenues to enable profitable operations or to generate positive cash flow. For the foreseeable future, we anticipate that we will use any funds available to finance the growth of the Company and that we will not pay cash dividends to stockholders. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no assurance that stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Our public offering of 3,000,000 shares is being made on a self-underwritten basis: no minimum number of shares must be sold for the offering to proceed. The offering price per share is $0.15. The following table sets forth the uses of proceeds assuming the sale of one-third, two-thirds and 100%, respectively, of the securities offered for sale by the Company. There is no assurance that we will raise the full $450,000 as anticipated.

 

The principal purposes for which the net proceeds to the Company from the sale of shares are intended to be used for software development, sales and marketing and working capital and the approximate amount intended to be used for each such purpose are listed below:

 

   One-third of shares sold   Two-thirds of shares sold   Hundred (100%) percent of shares sold 
Net proceeds from the offering (1) (2)   $ 100,000.00    $ 250,000.00    $ 400,000.00  
Software development    33,000.00      83,000.00      133,000.00  
Sales & marketing    20,000.00      50,000.00      80,000.00  
Working Capital    47,000.00      117,000.00      187,000.00  
Total  $ 100,000.00    $ 250,000.00    $ 400,000.00  

 

(1) Expenditures for the 12 months following the completion of this offering. The expenditures are categorized by significant area of activity. Please see a detailed description of the use of proceeds in the “Plan of Operations” section of this prospectus.

 

(2) Excludes estimated offering expenses of $50,000.

 

The Company may change the use of proceeds if it feels it is in the best interest of the shareholders to use the proceeds to discharge indebtedness of outstanding Notes, or to carryout acquisition of strategic business assets relevant to Company’s business.

 

DETERMINATION OF THE OFFERING PRICE

 

The offering price of $0.15 per share for the 3,000,000 shares being offered has been determined based on the aggregate of $98,000 funds raised through a private placement of our common stock of 653,333. The price may not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, or other established criteria for valuing a privately held company. In determining the number of shares to be offered and the offering price, we took into consideration our cash on hand and the amount of money we would need to implement our business plan. Accordingly, the offering price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the securities.

 

DILUTION

 

The price of our offering of 3,000,000 shares is fixed at $0.15 per share. This price is significantly higher than the prices per share paid by our founders and two other existing shareholders who purchased the shares before the private placement of our common stock in March 2017 collectively representing 67,810,000 of the 68,130,000 total shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2017.

 

Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly because of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders. The following tables compare the differences of your investment in our shares with the investment of our existing stockholders.

 

As of September 30, 2017, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was $868,220 or approximately $0.013 per share based upon 68,130,000 shares outstanding.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

GENERAL

 

The Company is authorized to issue two Classes of shares of stock. The total number of shares which the Company is authorized to issue is one hundred and ten million (110,000,000) shares, consisting of one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of Common Stock, $.0001 par value and ten million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, $.0001 par value. As of September 30, 2017, there were 68,130,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding that were held by 26 stockholders of record, and 4,000,000 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding held by 3 stockholders.

 

Between February 22, 2016 and April 24, 2017, the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from FRH Group, a founder and principal shareholder of the Company (“FRH”). The Company executed Convertible Promissory Notes, due between February 28, 2018 and April 24, 2019. The Notes are convertible into common stock initially at $0.10 per share but may be discounted under certain circumstances, but in no event, will the conversion price be less than $0.05 per share with a maximum of 20,000,000 shares if the entire Note was converted, subject to adjustments in certain events.

 

COMMON STOCK

 

The following is a summary of the material rights and restrictions associated with our common stock. This description does not purport to be a complete description of all the rights of our stockholders and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of our most current Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, which are included as exhibits to this Registration Statement.

 

The holders of our common stock currently have (i) equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Director of the Company; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets of the Company available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company (iii) do not have pre-emptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights applicable thereto; and (iv) are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stock holders may vote.

 

Our Bylaws provide that at all meetings of the stockholders for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. On all other matters, except as otherwise required by Delaware law or the Articles of Incorporation, a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the stockholders shall be necessary to authorize any corporate action to be taken by vote of the stockholders. A “plurality” means the excess of the votes cast for one candidate over any other. When there are more than two competitors for the same office, the person who receives the greatest number of votes has a plurality.

 

PREFERRED STOCK

 

Preferred Stock in General

 

The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock and to determine the designation of any such series. The Board of Directors is also authorized to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and, within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series than outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series. Currently there are 4,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock do not rank senior to our common stock as to dividends and distributions. The holders of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available at times and in amounts as the board of directors may from time to time determine, before any dividend is paid on common stock.

 

Holders of Series A Preferred are entitled to 50 non-cumulative votes per share on all matters presented to our stockholders for action. X. This right could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock and could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage or delay a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding stock. In addition, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred then outstanding, voting as a separate Series, is required for FDC to do any of the following:

 

  amend, alter or repeal any of the preferences or rights of the Series a Preferred;
  authorize any reclassification of the Series A Preferred;
  increase the authorized number of shares of the Series A Preferred; or
  create any Series or series of shares ranking prior to the Series A Preferred as to dividends or upon liquidation.

 

Series A Preferred does not convert into common stock of the Company.

 

Shares of Series A Preferred are not entitled to preemptive rights nor are they redeemable by the Company.

 

13

 

 

Class A Warrants

 

As of September 30, 2017, there were 653,333 Class A Warrants outstanding held by 10 holders. Each Class a Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at a price of $0.30 per share, through and including April 30, 2019.

 

The Warrants are redeemable by the Company, upon thirty (30) day notice, at a price of $.05 per Warrant, provided the average of the closing bid price of the Common Stock, as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (or the average of the last sale price if the Common Stock is then listed on the OTCMarkets or a securities exchange), shall equal or exceed $1.00 per share (subject to adjustment) for ten (10) consecutive trading days prior to the date on which the Company gives notice of redemption. The holders of Warrants called for redemption have exercise rights until the close of business on the date fixed for redemption.

 

The exercise price and a number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company. However, no Warrant is subject to adjustment for issuances of Common Stock at a price below the exercise price of that Warrant.

 

The Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the Warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Company, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (by certified check payable to the Company) to the Company for the number of Warrants being exercised. The Warrant holders do not have the rights or privilege of holders of Common Stock.

 

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. However, if a Warrant holder exercises all Warrants then owned of record by him, the Company will pay to such Warrant holder, in lieu of the issuance of any fractional share which is otherwise issuable, an amount in cash based on the market value of the common stock on the last trading day prior to the exercise date.

 

FUTURE SALES BY EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS

 

A total of 37,310,000 shares of common stock were issued to officers, directors and 31,223,333 to investors, all of which are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale. Such shares can only be sold after six months provided that the issuer of the securities is, and has been for a period of at least 90 days immediately before the sale, subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales of all our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.

 

There is no public trading market for our common stock. To be quoted on the OTCBB and/or OTC Link a market maker must file an application on our behalf to make a market for our common stock. As of the date of this Registration Statement, we have not engaged a market maker to file such an application, that there is no guarantee that a market marker will file an application on our behalf, and that even if an application is filed, there is no guarantee that we will be accepted for quotation.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We have 68,533,333 common shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. The Company is registering 3,000,000 shares of its common stock for sale at the price of $0.15 per share. There is no arrangement to address the possible effect of the offering on the price of the stock. In connection with the Company’s selling efforts in the offering, our officers and directors will not register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, but rather will rely upon the “safe harbor” provisions of SEC Rule 3a4-1, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participates in an offering of the issuer’s securities. Our officers and directors are not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a) (39) of the Exchange Act. Our officers and directors will not be compensated in connection with their participation in the offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities. Other than Mr. Naim Abdullah (‘Mr. Abdullah’), none of our officers and/or directors are, nor have they been within the past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and they are not, nor had he been within the past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. Mr. Abdullah will not participate in any manner with the offer or sale of any of the securities being offered in this offering. At the end of the offering, our officers and directors will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for the Company or on its behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities. Our officers and directors will not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii).

 

We will receive all proceeds from the sale of the 3,000,000 shares being offered. The price per share is fixed at $0.15 for the duration of this offering. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange or quoted over-the-counter, we intend to seek our shares of common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link. To be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link, a market maker must file an application on our behalf to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.

The Company’s shares may be sold to purchasers from time to time directly by and subject to the discretion of the Company. Further, the Company will not offer its shares for sale through underwriters, dealers, agents or anyone who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Company and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agents. The shares of common stock sold by the Company may be occasionally sold in one or more transactions; all shares sold under this prospectus will be sold at a fixed price of $0.15 per share.

 

To comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities will be offered or sold in those only if they have been registered or qualified for sale; exemption from such registration or if qualification requirement is available and with which we have complied. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, we will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard to security transactions during the period when this Registration Statement is effective. We will pay all expenses incidental to the registration of the shares (including registration pursuant to the securities laws of certain states).

 

Terms of the Offering

 

The shares will be sold at the fixed price of $0.15 per share until the completion of this offering. There is no minimum amount of subscription required per investor, and subscriptions, once received, are irrevocable. This offering will commence on the date of this prospectus and continue for a period of 180 days. At the discretion of our board of directors, we may discontinue the offering before the expiration of the 180 day period.

 

Penny Stock Rules

 

The Securities Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” as such term is defined by Rule 15g-9. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange).

 

The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for selling his or her shares in our company will be subject to the penny stock rules.

 

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which: (i) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (ii) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of Securities’ laws; (iii) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (iv) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (v) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (vi) contains such other information and is in such form as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide to the customer, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, (i) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (ii) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (iii) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (iv) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

The Company aims to be flexible and responsive to its sales and marketing strategies to provide an omnichannel customer experience. Therefore, our primary focus is on different customer acquisition channels to expand our customer base. The Company is actively being integrating both digital (online marketing, website, blogs, and social media) and traditional channels (conferences, trade shows, phones, direct meeting) effectively as we are aware that one-size-fits-most customers do no longer work.

 

We implement an effective marketing funnel where we map out our customer’s journey from when a customer is a lead and then put specific strategies in place that will encourage them to move through this funnel. We create awareness of our solutions through direct marketing strategy, where we use a combination of approaches. This includes but not limited to online banner advertising, SEO marketing, email outreach, event promotion, including educational seminars, conferences, and public and media relations, all of which are designed at driving prospective customers to Forexdevelopment.com or encourage them to contact one of our specialists. We also encourage customers to participate in the demo or webinar or consultation call where our expert shows them why they need our solutions and exactly how it will benefit them.

 

We also utilize many indirect channels where a network of industry professionals, introducing and referring brokers (collectively “RB/IB”) as third parties promote our services in exchange for performance-based compensation. In most cases, RB/IB carry out the lead generation function while our staff provides the customer and technical service.

 

Most of the marketing and branding initiatives are taken in-house by our team where we effectively leverage social media, content marketing, and integrated models to keep the continuity of our message and maintain critical customer relationships on a one on one basis.

INDUSTRY AND COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS

 

The OTC/FX trading technology vendor market is highly fragmented and extremely competitive. The Company faces both direct and indirect competition. In many cases we compete with our customers - OTC Online brokers, as often they have their proprietary trading solutions. These solutions include but not limited to the trading platform – desktop, web based and mobile, algo trading platform, social trading platform, high frequency trading platform, bridge technologies, back office, FX e-commerce, CRMs, risk management tools, FX education tools, and other necessary software needed to access OTC marketplace. According to research by Citi in 2014, 4 million people are now trading currencies online, and retail traders account for around 20 per cent of the average daily turnover of the global spot forex market.

 

19

 

 

We face direct competition from retail platform providers such as MetaQuotes, cTrader, SIRIX Trader, xStation, FXTM, ActTrader, Fortex, AvaTrade, Plus500, and several others. Further, many social trading platforms allow traders to share their trades and trade ideas with other traders. These forex networks which offer both social trading and community aspect, as well as auto trading capabilities allow the end user to automatically copy or mirror the trades from other traders on the network in their trading account. Some of the popular social trading platforms are ZuluTrade, ‘etoro’, Ayondo, Tradeo, Copyop, Instaforex, and others. Institutional traders worldwide use FlexFX, Currenex, Integral, Hotspot, and MaxxTrader to name a few, where customers get access to liquidity, manage execution and aggregate liquidity across the spot, forwards, swaps, non-deliverable forwards and precious metals.

 

Some of our competitors offer a complete suite of technology solutions including but not limited to software, solutions, services and trading platforms to institutional and retail brokerage firms in the foreign exchange, & spot metals marketplace. These integrated technology solution providers include companies like Forexware, Shift Forex, Integral, Leverate, and others.

 

As an OTC/FX technology vendor, we serve the retail forex market, which is very dynamic as hundreds of brokers compete for clients around the world. Retail foreign exchange trading is a segment of the larger foreign exchange (FX) market where individuals/retail traders speculate on the exchange rate between different currencies. This segment has grown with the beginning of dedicated electronic trading platforms and the internet which have allowed retail traders to access the global currency markets. As per Triennial Central Bank Survey (April 2016), Bank for International Settlements, it was that volume from retail foreign exchange trading represents 5.5% of the whole foreign exchange market or $282 billion in daily trading turnover.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

MARKET INFORMATION

 

ADMISSION TO QUOTATION ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD AND OTC LINKS

 

We intend to have our common stock be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link. If our securities are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and/nor OTC Link, a security holder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. The OTC Bulletin Board differs from national and regional stock exchanges in that it: (i) is not situated in a single location but operates through communication of bids, offers and confirmations between broker-dealers, and (ii) securities admitted to quotation are offered by one or more Broker-dealers rather than the “specialist” common to stock exchanges.

 

To qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link, an equity security must have one registered broker-dealer, known as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the company listing. We do not yet have an agreement with a registered broker-dealer, as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the Company listing. If the Company meets the qualifications for trading securities on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link our securities will trade on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link until a future time, if at all. We may not now, and it may never qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Certain statements contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding the anticipated development and expansion of our business, our intent, belief or current expectations, primarily with respect to the future operating performance of the Company and the products we expect to offer, and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are “forward-looking” statements.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made.

 

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has not earned any significant revenues since inception. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the accumulated deficit was $543,036 and $244,161 respectively.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred a net income of $30,160 and a net loss of $77,933 respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and from January 21 to September 30, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of $298,875 and $157,727 respectively.

 

The Company intends to continually upgrade its Condor Risk Management to meet the regulatory requirements under various jurisdictions including but not limited to directives under Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II/MiFIR), a legislation by European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA) that is set to be implemented across the European Union on January 3rd, 2018. In the second quarter of fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, the Company expects to release, market and distribute its Condor FX Pro Trading Terminal and MT4 Plugins which will allow traders to trade on Condor FX Pro Trading front-end and MT4 trading platform via single wallet.

 

The Company has necessary funding and in-house capabilities for the development of these projects. The Company budgets $90,000 for sales and marketing campaign in the next twelve months. Should we require additional capital to the extent the Company’s operations are not sufficient to fund its capital requirements, the Company may attempt to enter the restructuring of Notes, or refinance existing Notes with financial institutions or attempt to raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or through the issuance of debt.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on the success of management’s plans. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

To the extent the Company’s operations are not sufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Company may attempt to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or attempt to raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or through the issuance of debt.

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company issued four convertible notes collectively known as FRH Group Note for net cash proceeds of $1,000,000.

The Company intends to continue its efforts in enhancing its revenue from its diversified portfolio of technological solutions and becoming cash flow positive, as well as raising funds through private placement offering and debt financing. In the future, as the Company increase its customer base across the globe, the Company intends to acquire long-lived assets that will provide a future economic benefit beyond fiscal 2017.

 

For the audit of the period from inception on January 21, 2016, through December 31, 2016, our independent registered public accountant has issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. There is no assurance we will ever reach the stage when ongoing operations can be funded out of revenues. To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. While we believe that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to expand operations, there is no assurance that we will be able to sell any of the securities being offered, and we cannot guarantee that once we expand operations we will stay in business after doing so.

 

In the next twelve months, following completion of our public offering, we plan to engage in the following activities to expand our business operations as follows.

 

The following table sets forth the uses of proceeds assuming the sale of one-third, two-thirds and 100%, respectively, of the securities offered for sale by the Company. There is no assurance that we will raise the full $450,000 as anticipated.

We expect capital expenditures to increase to up to $150,000 in the next twelve months to support the growth, which mainly includes software development and purchase of computers and servers. We expect existing cash, cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and access to private equity and capital markets to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as debt maturities, and material capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months.

 

Should we require additional capital to the extent the Company’s operations are not sufficient to fund its capital requirements, the Company may attempt to enter the restructuring of Notes, or refinance existing Notes with financial institutions or attempt to raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or through the issuance of debt. The Company intends to continue its efforts in growing its operations, as well as raising funds through private equity, and debt financing.

TERM OF OFFICE

 

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will consist of no less than one member. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

 

On September 10, 2017, Benjamin Gsell resigned as the Director of the Company to pursue other interests. Effective November 15, 2017, Naim Abdullah was appointed as the third non-executive Director of the Company. The Company currently has two executive Directors.

 

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Our board of directors is currently composed of three (3) members, out of which two (2) directors are executive directors and who do not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market (the Company has no plans to list on the NASDAQ Global Market). The third non-executive director is an independent director. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members have engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to our director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by directors and us with regard to our director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

 

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

 

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early start-up company and has only three directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our three directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

 

There are no family relationships among our directors or officers. Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our board of directors. Nevertheless, every effort will be made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the board of directors, and the appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. During the upcoming year, our board of directors will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.

In most cases, RB/IB carry out the lead generation function while our staff provides the customer and technical service.

 

Most of the marketing and branding initiatives are taken in-house by our team where we effectively leverage social media, content marketing, and integrated models to keep the continuity of our message and maintain critical customer relationships on a one on one basis.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017, the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016, and the related information contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated audited financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2017, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or any other interim period or for any other future year.

 

Financial Statement Preparation and Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, website and internal-use software development costs, goodwill, depreciable lives of property and equipment, recoverability of intangible assets with finite lives and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies and stock-based compensation. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash includes demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and that are so near their maturity that they present a minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. The Company’s cash equivalents include only investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company regularly maintains cash in excess of federally insured limits at financial institutions.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts Receivable primarily represents the amount due from one customer for which almost all our revenues are generated. Receivables from this customer are due immediately on demand. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay, and expected default frequency rates. Trade receivables are written off at the point when they are considered uncollectible.

 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has determined that no allowance is required. Bad debt expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 as well as for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016 was not significant.

 

Sales, Marketing and Advertising

 

The Company recognizes sales, marketing, and advertising expenses when incurred.

 

The Company incurred approximately $37,356 and $20,269 in sales, marketing and advertising costs (“sales & marketing”) for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The sales & marketing cost mainly included travel costs for tradeshows, customer meet and greet, online marketing on industry websites, press releases, and public relation activities. The sales, marketing, and advertising expenses represented 16.19% and 106.68% of the sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

The Company incurred approximately $123,995 and $34,187 in sales, marketing and advertising costs (“sales & marketing”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016.

The sales, marketing, and advertising expenses represented 29.16% and 170.93% of the sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Property and Equipment

 

The Company shall state its property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of asset which ranges from three (3) to five (5) years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the asset or the corresponding lease agreement, whichever is shorter. Major improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Upon retirement or disposition, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income.

 

Lease Incentive Receivable and Liability

 

For the Company’s operating leases, the Company recognizes rent expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. Accordingly, the Company records the difference between cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expenses as a lease incentive liability in the consolidated balance sheets. Any landlord-funded leasehold improvements that are recorded as lease incentive are being amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the non-cancelable terms of the operating leases. At present, the Company leases an office space at 115 W 18th St., 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10011. As per the Commitment Term of the lease (“Agreement”), this Agreement shall continue a month-to-month basis (any term after the Commitment Term a “Renewal Term”). The Commitment Term and all subsequent Renewal Terms shall constitute the “Term.” The Company may terminate this Agreement by delivering to the lessor Form (“Exit Form”) at least one (1) full calendar month prior to the month in which the Company intends to terminate this Agreement (“Termination Effective Month”). The rent payment or membership fee at the office is $950 per month.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In general, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) consulting services have been rendered and software delivered to the customer, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product, system, or solution is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Software subscription revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the subscription term upon delivery of the first product and commencement of the term. Technical support and consulting services revenue are deferred and recognized ratably over the period during which the services are to be performed, which is typically one (1) year. Transactional advanced services revenue is recognized upon delivery or completion of performance milestones.

Revenues

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had six active customers in the USA, UK, Malta, and Dominica compared to three active customers for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The total revenue generation was $230,684 and $19,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively. Revenues generated from three active customers represented approximately 91.24% of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 100.00% total revenue from three active customers for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had six active customers in the USA, UK, Malta, and Dominica compared to three active customers for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016. The total revenue generation was $425,255 and $20,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016 respectively.

FOREX DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

NOTES ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based upon the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates that are applicable in each year.

 

The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Management of the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months.

 

Software Development Costs

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 86, Software development costs, including costs to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, that are incurred after the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized if significant. Capitalized software development costs are amortized using the straight-line amortization method over the estimated useful life of the applicable software. By the end of February 2016, the Company completed the activities (planning, designing, coding, and testing) necessary to establish that it can produce the Condor FX Back Office for MT4 Version 2.0 and Condor FX Pro Trading Terminal Version 4.5 meet its design specifications. The Company estimates useful life of the software to be three (3) years.

 

Amortization expense was $26,374 and $4,724 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and is included in the General and Administration expense.

 

Amortization expense was $59,192 and $7,180 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016 and is included in the General and Administration expense.

 

Costs incurred during the application development stage for internal-use software are capitalized if significant. Such software development costs required to be capitalized have not been material to date.

 

Convertible Debentures

 

Accounting for convertible instruments (ASC 470-20), convertible instruments (primarily convertible debt and convertible preferred stock) should be further analyzed when the embedded conversion feature is not bifurcated pursuant to ASC 815, including ASC 815-40, because there may be further accounting for the conversion option.

 

The cash conversion guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, is considered when evaluating the accounting for convertible debt instruments (this includes certain convertible preferred stock that is classified as a liability) to determine whether the conversion feature should be recognized as a separate component of equity. The cash conversion guidance applies to all convertible debt instruments that upon conversion may be settled entirely or partially in cash or other assets where the conversion option is not bifurcated and separately accounted for pursuant to ASC 815.

 

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

 

As of nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016, the conversion features of conventional FRH Group convertible notes dated February 22, 2016, May 16, 2016, and November 17, 2016 (See Note 8) provide for a rate of conversion that is above the market value. As a result, there is no feature characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). As the value of stocks at issuance date of the FRH Group convertible notes was below the floor conversion price, the value of convertible option of each note is negligible. For FRH Group convertible note dated April 24, 2017, the value of the stock at issuance date was above the floor conversion price, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” As a result, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company has amortized the discount of $97,996 to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

FOREX DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

NOTES ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The $97,996 amount equals to intrinsic value and is allocated to additional paid-In capital. As the debt is convertible at the date of issuance, the debt discount is charged to interest expense at the date of issuance.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

 

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of September 30, 2017, and 2016, the Company had approximately 68,130,000 and 63,910,000 basic and dilutive shares issued and outstanding. The Company had approximately 15,000,000 million potentially dilutive shares related to three outstanding FRH Group convertible notes which were excluded from the diluted net loss per share as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016 common stock equivalents, were anti-dilutive due to a net loss for the period, hence they are not considered in the computation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific requirements. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step revenue recognition process in which entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one (1) year. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company during the period beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014 - 09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company currently anticipates applying the modified retrospective approach when adopting the standard.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern, which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one (1) year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. The guidance did not to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of debt issuance costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments to this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments in this standard is permitted for all entities and the Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has not earned any significant revenues since inception. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the accumulated deficit was $543,036 and $244,161 respectively.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred a net income of $30,160 and a net loss of $77,933 respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of $298,875 and $157,728 respectively.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on the success of management’s plans discussed below. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

To the extent the Company’s operations are not sufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Company may attempt to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or attempt to raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or through the issuance of debt.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016, the Company issued one and two convertible notes for net cash proceeds of approximately $250,000 and $500,000 respectively, see note 8.

 

The Company intends to continue its efforts in enhancing its revenue from its diversified portfolio of technological solutions and becoming cash flow positive, as well as raising funds through private placement offering and debt financing. See Note 8 for Notes Payable. In the future, as the Company increases its customer base across the globe, the Company intends to acquire long-lived assets that will provide a future economic benefit beyond fiscal 2017.

 

NOTE 4. CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016, the estimated remaining weighted-average useful life of the Company’s capitalized software was three (3) years. The Company recognizes amortization expense for capitalized software on a straight-line basis.

 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the gross capitalized software asset was $331,928 and $95,032 respectively. For the nine months period ending September 30, 2017 and for the period from January 21 to September 30, 2016 the accumulated software depreciation and amortization expenses were 59,192 and 7,180 respectively. As a result, the unamortized balance of capitalized software at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $272,736 and $87,852 respectively.

Each Class A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock for $0.30 per share at any time until April 30, 2019.

 


Note 11. Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based upon the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates that are applicable in each year.

 

The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Management of the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months.

 

Income taxes are calculated using the asset and liability method of accounting. Deferred income taxes are computed by multiplying statutory rates applicable to estimated future year differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company did an analysis of its ASC 740 position and had not identified any uncertain tax positions as defined under ASC 740. Should such position be identified in the future and should the Company owe interest and penalties because of this, these would be recognized as interest expense and other expense, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has identified the United States Federal tax returns as its “major” tax jurisdiction. The United States Federal return for the year 2016 has been submitted and accepted by the United States Internal Revenue Service. The Company is not subject to tax examination by authorities in the United States before year 2016. The New York State Tax return for the year 2016 has been submitted and accepted by New York State Franchise Tax Board and currently the Company does not have any ongoing tax examinations.

 

The Company does not have any foreign tax expenses and liabilities as of September 30, 2017.

 

Deferred tax assets consist of the following components:

 

   2016 
Net loss carryforward   85,456 
Valuation allowance   (85,456)
Total deferred tax assets  $- 

 

For the period ended September 30, 2017, the Company did an analysis of its ASC 740 position and had not identified any uncertain tax positions as defined under ASC 740. Should such position be identified in the future and should the Company owe interest and penalties because of this, these would be recognized as interest expense and other expense, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have any foreign tax expenses and liabilities as of September 30, 2017.

 

Note 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Forex Development Corporation

115 W 18th St., 2nd Floor

New York, NY 10011

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Forex Development Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the period from January 21, 2016 (inception) to December 31, 2016. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Forex Development Corporation and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the for the period from January 21, 2016 (inception) to December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared to assume the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not earned any significant revenues since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $244,161 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Forex Development Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary. The Company has prepared the Financial Statements in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Company in its financial statements. The Company has measured and presented the Financial Statements of the Company in US Dollars, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (also known its functional currency). In April 2016, the Company established its wholly owned subsidiary – FRH Prime Ltd. (“FRH Prime”), a company, incorporated under section 14 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. In January 2017, FRH Prime established its wholly owned subsidiary – FXClients Limited under the United Kingdom Companies Act 2006 as a private company, that shares limit the company, and the situation of its registered office is in England and Wales. There have been no significant operating actitvities in any of Company’s wholly owned subsidiary.

 

Financial Statement Preparation and Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, website and internal-use software development costs, goodwill, depreciable lives of property and equipment, recoverability of intangible assets with finite lives and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies and stock-based compensation. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash includes demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and that are so near their maturity that they present a minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. The Company’s cash equivalents include only investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company regularly maintains cash in excess of federally insured limits at financial institutions.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts Receivable primarily represents the amount due from one customer for which almost all our revenues are generated. Receivables from this customer are due immediately on demand. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances, economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay, and expected default frequency rates. Trade receivables are written off at the point when they are considered uncollectible.

 

At December 31, 2016, the Company has determined that no allowance is required. Bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 was not significant.

 

Sales, Marketing and Advertising

 

The Company recognizes advertising expenses when incurred. The Company incurred approximately $36,322 in advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2016. The advertising cost mainly included online marketing on industry websites, press releases, and public relation activities.

 

Property and Equipment

 

The Company shall state its property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of asset which ranges from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the asset or the corresponding lease agreement, whichever is shorter. Major improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Upon retirement or disposition, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income.

Lease Incentive Receivable and Liability

 

For the Company’s operating leases, the Company recognizes rent expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. Accordingly, the Company records the difference between cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expenses as a lease incentive liability in the consolidated balance sheets. Any landlord-funded leasehold improvements that are recorded as lease incentive are being amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the non-cancelable terms of the operating leases. At present, the Company leases an office space at 115 W 18th St., 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10011. As per the Commitment Term of the lease (“Agreement”), this Agreement shall continue a month-to-month basis (any term after the Commitment Term a “Renewal Term”). The Commitment Term and all subsequent Renewal Terms shall constitute the “Term.” The Company may terminate this Agreement by delivering to the lessor Form (“Exit Form”) at least one (1) full calendar month prior to the month in which the Company intends to terminate this Agreement (“Termination Effective Month”). The rent payment or membership fee at the office is $950 per month.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In general, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) consulting services have been rendered and software delivered to the customer, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product, system, or solution is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Software subscription revenue is deferred and recognized ratably over the subscription term upon delivery of the first product and commencement of the term. Technical support and consulting services revenue are deferred and recognized ratably over the period during which the services are to be performed, which is typically one year. Transactional advanced services revenue is recognized upon delivery or completion of performance milestones.

As compensation for the consulting services rendered by the Company, the customer agrees to pay in cash (all quoted in U.S. Dollars) a non-refundable non-recurring set-up fee and a monthly recurring maintenance fee.

 

In some cases, the Company may earn variable revenue based on profit sharing from Customer. In such situations, the Company uses the mostly likely amount method – the single most likely contract outcome, where it is entitled to earn a minimum maintenance fee. At present, the Company has only received set-up and maintenance fees.

 

The Company estimates that it receives a fair market value for its services based on the estimation that the price that the customer would pay for similar goods or services in the forex market.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company has four customers in the USA, UK, Malta, and Dominica. Revenues generated from three customers represented approximately 93.49% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016. Approximately 100% of accounts receivable was due from two customers at December 31, 2016. The loss of this customer would have a significant impact on the Company’s operations.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company discloses a loss contingency if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss has been incurred. The Company records its best estimate of loss related to pending legal proceedings when the loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based upon the temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates that are applicable in each year.

 

The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Management of the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months.

 

Software Development Costs

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 86, Software development costs, including costs to develop software sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, that are incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized if significant. Capitalized software development costs are amortized using the straight-line amortization method over the estimated useful life of the applicable software. By the end of February 2016, the Company completed the activities (planning, designing, coding, and testing) necessary to establish that it can produce the Condor FX Back Office for MT4 Version 2.0 and Condor FX Pro Trading Terminal Version 4.5 meet its design specifications. The Company estimates useful life of the software to be three years. Amortization expense was $14,777 in fiscal 2016 and is included in the General and Administration expense.

 

Costs incurred during the application development stage for internal-use software are capitalized if significant. Such software development costs required to be capitalized have not been material to date.

 

Convertible Debentures

 

Accounting for convertible instruments (ASC 470-20), convertible instruments (primarily convertible debt and convertible preferred stock) should be further analyzed when the embedded conversion feature is not bifurcated pursuant to ASC 815, including ASC 815-40, because there may be further accounting for the conversion option.

 

The cash conversion guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, is considered when evaluating the accounting for convertible debt instruments (this includes certain convertible preferred stock that is classified as a liability) to determine whether the conversion feature should be recognized as a separate component of equity. The cash conversion guidance applies to all convertible debt instruments that upon conversion may be settled entirely or partially in cash or other assets where the conversion option is not bifurcated and separately accounted for pursuant to ASC 815.

 

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provide for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

 

As of fiscal 2016, the conversion features of conventional FRH Group convertible note(s) provides for a rate of conversion that is above the market value. As a result, there is no feature characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). As the value of stocks at issuance date of the FRH Group convertible note(s) was below the floor conversion price, the value of convertible option of each note is negligible.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

 

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately 63,910,000 basic and dilutive shares issued and outstanding. and the Company had approximately 15,000,000 million potentially dilutive shares related to three outstanding FRH Group convertible notes which were excluded from the diluted net loss per share as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. During the period from January 21 to December 31, 2016, common stock equivalents, were anti-dilutive due to a net loss for the period, hence they are not considered in the computation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific requirements. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step revenue recognition process in which entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company during the period beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014 - 09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company currently anticipates applying the modified retrospective approach when adopting the standard.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern, which requires management to evaluate, at each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter. The guidance did not to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of debt issuance costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the amendments in this standard is permitted for all entities and the Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

NOTE 3. MANAGEMENT’S PLANS

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has not earned any significant revenues since inception. During the period beginning January 21, 2016 to December 31, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss and accumulated deficit of $244,161. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on the success of management’s plans discussed below. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

To the extent the Company’s operations are not sufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements, the Company may attempt to enter into a revolving loan agreement with financial institutions or attempt to raise capital through the sale of additional capital stock or through the issuance of debt.

 

During the period of consolidated financial statements from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016, the Company issued three convertible notes for net cash proceeds of approximately $750,000, see note 8.

 

The Company intends to continue its efforts in enhancing its revenue from its diversified portfolio of technological solutions and becoming cash flow positive, as well as raising funds through private placement offering and debt financing. See Note 8 for Notes Payable.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

The Company’s Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall, to the full extent permitted by the Nevada General Business Corporation Law, as amended from time to time (the “Nevada Corporate Law”), indemnify all of our directors and officers. Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Corporate Law provides in part that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

Similar indemnity is authorized for such persons against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in defense or settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that (unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such person shall not have been adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such indemnification may be made only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the stockholders or disinterested directors that indemnification is proper because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct. Under our Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation, the indemnitee is presumed to be entitled to indemnification and we have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption. Where an officer or a director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, we must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director actually or reasonably incurred. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

UNDERTAKINGS

 

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers, or sales of securities are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

 

(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (ss.230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

(i) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or our securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
