Going Concern

Note 3 - Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net income of $247,493 and net cash used in operations of $227,347 for the six months ended June 30, 2020; working capital deficit, stockholder’s deficit and accumulated deficit of $260,033, $846,461 and $12,975,695, respectively as of June 30, 2020. It is management’s opinion that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the issuance date of this report.

 

The ability for the Company to mitigate this risk and continue its operations is primarily dependent on management’s plans as follows:

 

  a) Maximizing the revenues of Cheshire Trafford (U.K.) Limited, the Independent Financial Advisory firm we acquired on August 1, 2018, by way of servicing the current client base in the most professional and efficient manner possible.
  b) Organically growing the amount of Funds under Administration of Cheshire Trafford (U.K.) Limited to new and higher levels.
  c) Consummating and executing all current engagements related to the business consulting division.
  d) Continually engaging with new clients via our business consulting division.
  e) Continuing to source funding, via equity or debt, for acquisition, growth and working capital from one or various European Funds. The Company is currently negotiating terms for a $10 million funding agreement with a European regulated Fund.
  f) Acquiring and managing more Independent Financial Advisory firms with funds under administration located around the globe.
  g) Sell the Company´s marketable securities, when possible.

 

In March 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 Coronavirus caused by a novel strain of the coronavirus was recognized as a Global Pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the outbreak has become increasingly widespread all over the World, including the geographical locations in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate. The COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic has and will continue affecting economies and businesses around the Globe. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak closely. The impacts of the Pandemic could be material, but due to the evolving nature of this situation, we are not able at this time to estimate the impact on our current financial, operational or future financial results. Amongst the factors that could impact our results are: effectiveness of COVID-19 Coronavirus mitigation measures, global economic conditions, reduced business and consumer spending due to both job losses and reduced investing activity, and other factors. These factors could result in increased or decreased demand for our products and services.

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and still to date, most European countries are still slowly easing out of the mandated lock-down imposed by their respective Governments due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its ramifications. Whilst the Company´s recurring revenues were not affected during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company´s ability to speed-up the process of writing new business was hindered to a degree. This hindrance was mainly due to the fact that most of the Company´s new business clients that are seeking financial advice are of a certain age whereby they prefer to meet in person with one of our independent financial advisers and sign the paperwork in situ; and this has proven to be a slow process due to travel restrictions. However, the Company does believe that from now onwards, its team of IFA´s will be able to start organizing and attending these “face to face” meetings with these new business clients and will therefore be able to close most or all of the new business that was put in motion during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
