Overview
We have developed a financial technology product and that uses advanced
distributed ledger technology for improved security, speed, and reliability. We
recently released our CORO product and commenced its commercialization. CORO is
a global money transmitter that allows customers to send, receive, and exchange
currencies faster, cheaper and more securely, initially consisting of the
ability to send, receive and exchange U.S. dollars and gold. Our mission through
CORO is to democratize access to gold as sound money. CORO makes it simple,
convenient and affordable to use gold as money. The CORO mobile app was
completed and released in select U.S. markets in August 2020. Following the
initial commercial release, CORO has expanded into new markets and is now
licensed, approved and operating in 19 states plus the District of Columbia.
CORO intends to expand the release of the app throughout the U.S. in early 2021.
The Company will also pursue money transmission licenses in foreign countries
such as Mexico and Canada.
We believe CORO is the world's first global payment application that includes
gold, the oldest and most trusted money. CORO technology facilitates money
transmission and exchange with faster speeds, better security, and lower costs
than existing options in the marketplace. An important component of the CORO
payment system is our Financial Crime Risk Management (FCRM) solution. We have
developed our FCRM platform, as an integrated AML/KYC onboarding and transaction
monitoring solution that provides an affordable and fully integrated compliance
solution for CORO's compliance department. The solution meets the rigorous
demands of government regulators, while supporting our customers. The FCRM
technology has been completed and is incorporated within the CORO mobile payment
system.

We anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital to execute our
business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we
raise funds through the sale of common stock or securities convertible into
common stock, it may result in substantial dilution to our then-existing
stockholders.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, we recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605,
Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance
throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The
updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for
those goods or services. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures
with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
The standard was effective for the first interim period within annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and we adopted the standard using the
modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this
guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for all compensation related to stock; options or warrants using a
fair value-based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date
based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which
is usually the vesting period. We use the Black-Scholes pricing model to
calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and
non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued using the market price of
the stock on the date of the related agreement.
Impairment of long-lived assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable.
We conduct our long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC
360-10-15, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." ASC 360-10-15 requires
the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which
identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other
assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the
undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate
the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable, an impairment charge is
measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds
its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical
corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries
and are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which amended current
lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is
a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a
discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that
represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset
for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting
requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align,
where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This
standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this ASU
did not have a material impact on our balance sheet.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective
accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the
accompanying financial statements.
