Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30,
2019
Revenue
We had no revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Revenues of
$250,000 for consulting services were recognized for the three months ended June
30, 2019.
Operating Expenses
We incurred general and administrative expenses of $209,776 and $532,811 for the
three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, representing a decrease
of $323,035 between the two periods. These expenses consisted primarily of
consulting fees, professional fees, and other general and administrative costs.
The decrease in consulting fees between the two periods from $119,279 in 2019 to
$0 in 2020 was due to the decrease in compensation for our president, chief
financial officer, chief operating officer, a related party consultant, and a
director. Professional fees increased from $36,177 in 2019 to $51,616 in 2020.
The decrease in other general and administrative costs decreased from $375,334
in 2019 to $93,082 in 2020 due to decreased travel costs, rent, advertising and
marketing costs, compliance fees, and stock-based compensation.

Other Income (Expense)
Other income includes $16,500 of repayment of a loan receivable compared to
$16,500 received from interest revenue of $18,699 for the same period last year,
the change in derivative liability of $42,182 for Q2 2020 and $0 in Q2 2019.
Other expenses include interest expense on convertible notes payable of $37,907
for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $27,226 for the same period
last year.
Net Loss from Operations
We incurred net losses from operations of $210,783 and $374,712 for the three
months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, representing a decrease of
$163,929, primarily attributable to the factors discussed above under the
headings "Revenue" and "Operating Expenses".
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Revenue
We had no revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $250,000 for

Operating Expenses
We incurred general and administrative expenses of $381,204 and $1,533,158 for

general and administrative costs. The decrease in consulting fees between the
two periods from $609,933 in 2019 to $109,427 in 2020 was due to the decrease in
compensation for our president, chief operating officer, and Board of Directors.
Pre-licensing fees decreased from $250,000 in 2019 to $0 in 2020. Professional
fees decreased from $104,725 in 2019 to $60,995 in 2020 due to lower legal
services as 2019 saw the Company spending on the evaluation of potential
business opportunities and regulatory compliance. The decrease in other general
and administrative costs decreased from $991,622 in 2019 to $209,673 in 2020 due
to decreased travel costs, advertising and marketing costs, compliance fees, and
stock-based compensation. Service costs decreased from $57,023 in 2019 to
$25,950 in 2020 as many of the costs for the client being recognized are now
being charged to them as per the amended agreement.
Consulting fees of $101,027 in the second quarter of 2020 relate in part to
$15,000 paid to our Board of Directors, $30,000 paid for accounting services and
other smaller costs.
The pre-licensing fees stem from an agreement between the Company and a
potential client.

Cash Requirements
Our estimated general and administrative expenses, operating expenses, and
service costs for the next 12 months are $780,000 and are based on our current
expenditures given the current market conditions.
We will require additional cash resources to meet our planned capital
expenditures and working capital requirements for the next 12 months. We expect
to derive such cash through the sale of equity or debt securities or by
obtaining a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities will
result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will
result in debt service obligations, could cause additional dilution to our
stockholders, and could require us to agree to financial covenants that could
restrict our operations or modify our plans to source a new business
opportunity. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to
us, if at all. Failure to raise additional funds could cause our company to
fail.
Going Concern
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and
liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet
established a source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and to
allow us to continue as a going concern. We have incurred losses since inception
resulting in an accumulated deficit of $9,400,658 as at June 30, 2020 (December
31, 2019: $9,310,776). Our ability to operate as a going concern is dependent on
obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable.
In its report on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019
and 2018, our independent registered public accounting firm included an
explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to
have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources.
