CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”), in particular, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in Item 7 herein (“MD&A”) contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements give expectations or forecasts of future events. The reader can identify these forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “believe(s),” “goal(s),” “target(s),” “estimate(s),” “anticipate(s),” “forecast(s),” “project(s),” plan(s),” “intend(s),” “expect(s),” “might,” may” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with a discussion of future operations, financial performance or financial condition. Forward-looking statements, in particular, include statements relating to future actions, prospective services or products, future performance or results of current and anticipated services or products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, trends of operations and financial results.

Any or all forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong, and, accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report. These statements are based on current expectations and the current economic environment. They involve several risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These statements are not guaranteeing future performance. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many such factors will be important in determining the Company’s actual results and financial condition. The reader should consider the following list of general factors that could affect the Company’s future results and financial condition.

Among the general factors that could cause actual results and financial condition to differ materially from estimated results and financial condition are:

	●	the success or failure of management’s efforts to implement their business strategy;

	●	the ability of the Company to raise sufficient capital to meet operating requirements;

	●	the uncertainty of consumer demand for our products and services;

	●	the ability of the Company to compete with major established companies;

	●	heightened competition, including, with respect to pricing, entry of new competitors and the development of new products or services by new and existing competitors;

	●	absolute and relative performance of our products or services;

	●	the effect of changing economic conditions;

	●	the ability of the Company to attract and retain quality employees and management;

	●	the current global recession and financial uncertainty;

	●	uncertainties due to the current pandemic COVID-19 virus on the global market and its possible impact on the Company’s business; and

	●	other risks which may be described in our future filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

No assurances can be given that the results contemplated in any forward-looking statements will be achieved or will be achieved in any particular timetable. We assume no obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statements as a result of events or developments subsequent to the date of this Annual Report. The reader is advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our filings with the SEC.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

BACKGROUND

Argentum 47, Inc. (“Company” or “ARG”) was incorporated on October 1, 2010, as a Nevada corporation, for the express purpose of acquiring Global Equity Partners Plc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles (“GEP”) on September 2, 2009. On August 22, 2014, GE Professionals DMCC was incorporated in Dubai as a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Equity Partners Plc. On June 10, 2016, ARG incorporated its wholly owned subsidiary, called GEP Equity Holdings Limited, under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles.

On March 24, 2017, the Board of Directors of Global Equity Partners Plc. approved the assignment and transfer of GE Professionals DMMC to GEP Equity Holdings Limited.

On June 5, 2017, the Company sold 100% of the common stock of Global Equity Partners Plc. to a private citizen of the Kingdom of Thailand. The consideration for the purchase of Global Equity Partners Plc. was the assumption by the purchaser of all liabilities and indebtedness of Global Equity Partners Plc. in the approximate amount of $626,000. At the time of this sale, Global Equity Partners Plc. had assets consisting of common shares of other companies having a book value of approximately $603,000.

GEP Equity Holdings Limited provides consulting services, such as corporate restructuring, Exchange Listings and development for corporate marketing, investor and public relations, regulatory compliance and introductions to financiers, to companies desiring to be listed on stock exchanges in various parts of the world.

On December 12, 2017, we incorporated a United Kingdom company under the name of Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited (“Argentum FM”). Argentum FM is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Argentum FM was formed to serve as a holding company for the acquisition of United Kingdom based advisory firms. During 2020, the Company intends to acquire more licensed financial advisory firms.

On January 12, 2018, the Company secured a 12-month fixed price convertible loan from Xantis Private Equity Fund (Luxembourg) for a minimum of 2,000,000 Great Britain Pounds (equivalent to approximately U.S. $2,680,000) carrying an interest at the rate of 6% per annum. The Company has a right to pay this note on the maturity date by issuing shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of $0.02 or the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB for the prior 60 trading days. To date, the Company received $400,000 under this loan, which including the accrued interest of $24,000 was converted into 21,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on January 14, 2019.

On January 12, 2018, the Company secured a 12-month fixed price convertible loan from William Marshal Plc., a United Kingdom Public Limited Company listed on the Cyprus Public Exchange Emerging Companies Market, for a maximum of 2,000,000 Great Britain Pounds (equivalent to approximately U.S. $2,680,000) carrying an interest at the rate of 6% per annum. The Company has a right to pay this note on the maturity date, by issuing shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the greater of $0.02 or the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB for the prior 60 trading days. To date, the Company received $100,000 under this loan, which including the accrued interest of $6,000 was converted to 5,300,000 common shares of the Company on January 24, 2019.

On March 29, 2018, we changed our corporate name to Argentum 47, Inc.

On June 6, 2018, the Company secured a 12-month fixed price convertible loan, from Xantis Aion Securitization Fund (Luxembourg), for a minimum of 1,700,000 Great Britain Pounds (equivalent to approximately $1,940,000) carrying an interest at the rate of 6% per annum. The Company has a right to pay this note no earlier than 366 days’ post investment of each tranche of funding, by issuing common shares at a conversion price equal to the greater of $0.02 or the average closing ask price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB for the prior 60 trading days. To date, the Company has received $1,388,040 under this loan, of which $735,000 and related accrued interest was converted into 38,955,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on June 5, 2019.

On August 1, 2018, Argentum FM consummated a Share Purchase Agreement with Mr. Rodney Leonard and Equilibrium Pensions Limited (trustees of The Leonard R. Personal Pension), pursuant to which Argentum FM would acquire 100% of the ordinary shares (equity) of Cheshire Trafford (U.K.) Limited of Hull, United Kingdom (“Cheshire Trafford”) from Mr. Leonard and Equilibrium Pensions Limited (trustees of The Leonard R. Personal Pension).

In March 2019, Management decided that it made overall economic sense for the Company to close its employment placement services business in Dubai; hence, on March 18, 2019, in order to fully concentrate on its core business of Independent Financial Advisory services and Consultancy Business, the Board of Directors decided to initiate liquidation proceedings of the Dubai subsidiary “GE Professionals DMCC” (with an effective date of March 31, 2019). As a result of this decision to liquidate the subsidiary, the Board of Directors also decided to discontinue its Human Resources and Placement business in Dubai. On February 11, 2020, the deregistration and liquidation process of our Dubai subsidiary was formally completed.

Cheshire Trafford (U.K.) Limited (www.cheshire-trafford.co.uk) was incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom on January 26, 1976, as a limited liability company. Cheshire Trafford is a very well established and UK FCA regulated Independent Financial Advisory firm that offers a fully computerized investment management service, including advising on investments in Unit Trusts, Investment Bonds, Shares, Investment Trusts, Government Bonds and Individual Savings Accounts. In addition, Cheshire Trafford advises investors on various types of Pension contracts, including Personal Pensions, Executive Pensions, Small Self-Administered Plans, Pension Mortgages and many more.

Cheshire Trafford acts as a broker for the sale of Lump Sum or Single Premium Insurance Policies and Regular Premium Investment or “Insurance” Policies that are issued by reputable third-party insurance companies.

Cheshire Trafford currently has four full time employees and in excess of 430 clients.

The funds that Cheshire Trafford currently has under administration are invested with well-known and reputable Investment Houses such as:

	●	AJ Bell
	●	Canada Life International
	●	Fidelity International
	●	Old Mutual International
	●	Old Mutual Wealth Life
	●	Royal London
	●	Aviva
	●	Prudential Assurance

Cheshire Trafford’s primary customer base resides in the United Kingdom. Cheshire Trafford is licensed (Register Number 115194) and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) of the United Kingdom. Confirmation of Cheshire Trafford’s license can be made by visiting the FCA’s website: www.fca.gov.uk/register.

The purchase consideration for the acquisition of Cheshire Trafford is based on a formula of 2.7 times Cheshire Trafford’s projected annualized recurring revenues for the calendar year ending December 31, 2018. We took the gross revenues of Cheshire Trafford for the five months ended May 31, 2018 and annualized those recurring revenues and multiplied those revenues by 2.7 times in arriving at the contractual purchase consideration of U.S.$516,795 (389,300 Great Britain Pounds or “GBP”).

The purchase consideration is payable in three tranches. The first and initial tranche of U.S. $175,710 (132,362 GBP) was paid upon closing of the transaction. The second tranche of U.S. $170,542 (128,469 GBP) would be due 18 months after the closing. The August 31, 2018 acquisition agreement contemplated that the third and final tranche payment of U.S. $170,542 (128,469 GBP) that is due 36 months after the closing could be adjusted down (but not increased). This adjustment would only happen if Cheshire Trafford’s trail or recurring revenues between August 1, 2018 and July 31, 2019 (agreed testing period) was less than the “Recurring Target” of 144,185 GBP or, at current exchange rates, $168,365. At December 31, 2019, management carried out this testing and determined that the fair value of third and final tranche payment will be reduced by approximately $100,000.

The funds for the first tranche were obtained via a June 8, 2018 loan in the amount of U.S. $735,000 from the Xantis Aion Securitisation Fund, as previously reported in the Company’s Form 8-K Current Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 11, 2018.

On December 18, 2019, the Company secured a 24-month convertible loan, from Aegeus Securitization Fund (Luxembourg), for 500,000 Great Britain Pounds (equivalent to approximately $658,200) carrying an interest at the rate of 6% per annum. The lender has an option to convert this note into common stock of the Company after (2) years and one (1) day from December 18, 2019 at a conversion price equivalent to the closing market price two days prior the new conversion date. Aegeus Securitization Fund and Xantis AION Securitization Fund both have the same fund administrators, Xantis S.A., hence Aegeus Securitization Fund is treated as a related party of the Company as at December 31, 2019. The Company simultaneously also entered into a Receivables Assignment Agreement whereby an amount of the receivables from the Company and/or the next Independent Financial Advisory Firm acquired will be securitized to the lender. Pursuant to the terms of this Assignment Agreement, the Company assigned its receivables for the period from June 2020 to May 2025 to the lender. To date, the Company has received GBP 250,000 (equivalent to approximately $329,000) under this loan.

Our authorized capital consists of 950,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.001 per share and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.001. As of December 31, 2018, we had 525,534,409 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2019, we had 590,989,409 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. We also have two series of preferred stock designated and authorized: Series “B” Preferred Stock and Series “C” Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2018, and 2019, we had 45,000,000 shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock authorized, issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2018, and 2019, we had designated and authorized 5,000,000 shares of Series “C” Preferred Stock, 3,200,000 shares of which were issued and outstanding. In March 2020, we issued an additional 100,000 shares of Series “C” Preferred Stock to Mr. Nicholas Tuke, our new Chief Executive Officer, so we currently have a total of 3,300,000 shares of Series “C” Preferred Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this report. We do not have any Series “A” Preferred Stock authorized, issued or outstanding. We have 1,700,000 shares of Series “C” Preferred Stock designated and authorized, which could be issued in the future. All shares of our Series “B” and Series “C” Preferred Stock are contractually locked-up until September 27, 2020; hence, they cannot be sold or converted into common stock at any time prior to that date.

We provide corporate advisory services to companies desiring to have their shares listed on stock exchanges or quoted on quotation bureaus in various parts of the world. We had an office in Dubai until March 31, 2019. Our current offices are located in the United Kingdom. We have affiliations with firms located in some of the world’s leading financial centers such as London, New York, Frankfurt and Dubai. These affiliations are informal and are comprised of personal relationships with groups of people or people with whom our Company or our management has done, or attempted to do, business in the past. We do not have any contractual arrangements, written or otherwise, with our affiliations.

Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited is a United Kingdom based holding company that will acquire, in due course, more financial advisory firms with funds under administration around the world. These financial advisory firms act as intermediaries between their clients and the insurance companies. In effect, the advisory firms sell insurance policies to their clients. These types of financial advisory firms receive recurring and non-recurring trail fees for each insurance policy that is sold. Cheshire Trafford U.K. Limited is the first acquisition of Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited and it provides corporate and retail independent financial advisory services and generates our revenues by acting as broker for sale of Lump Sum or Single Premium Insurance Policies and/or the sale of Regular Premium Investment or Insurance Policies that are issued by third party insurance companies.

GEP Equity Holdings Limited looks for companies that require capital funding for growth and acquisition, and ultimately a listing of their shares on a recognized stock exchange or quotation on the OTC Markets quotation boards. The Company introduces these clients to private and institutional investors in our network of over 100 “financial introducers” around the world. These financial introducers are groups of people or institutions that are presently introducing new clients to us or who have introduced new clients to our management in the past. We do not have any contractual arrangements, written or otherwise, with these financial introducers.

Presently, GEP Equity Holdings Limited, Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited and Cheshire Trafford (U.K.) Limited are our only operating businesses. ARG´s present operations are limited to ensuring compliance with regional, state and national securities regulatory agencies and organizations. In addition, ARG, as the parent company, is charged with (i) handling our periodic reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (ii) managing our investor relations; and (iii) raising debt and equity capital necessary to fund our operations in order to enhance and grow our business. ARG does not offer or conduct any consulting or advisory services, as such services are now performed solely by GEP Equity Holdings Limited. As stated above, Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited will serve as a holding company for the financial advisory firms to be acquired. Cheshire Trafford (U.K.) Limited is a financial advisory firm with funds under administration.

We currently offer the following services to our clients:

	●	General business consulting
	●	Corporate restructuring
	●	Fund administration
	●	Exchange listings and quotations on OTC Markets quotation boards

IMPLICATIONS OF BEING AN EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY

As a Company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (also known as the “JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company, we are entitled to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

	●	Only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;

	●	Reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

	●	Not having to obtain non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and

	●	Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

We may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, if we have more than U.S.$700 million in market value of our stock held by non-affiliates, or if we issue more than U.S.$1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may take advantage of these exemptions until the last day of the fiscal year of the Company following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities in an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Note: To date, we have not sold or issued any of our common equity securities under an effective Form S-1, Form S-3, Form S-4 or Form S-8 or other form of registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens in the future. We have irrevocably elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.

FUND MANAGEMENT

In common with the overall financial services sector, the micro fund management market is undergoing significant changes. We intend to take advantage of these changes and acquire a significant selection of international and United Kingdom based financial advisory firms with funds under administration. These acquisitions will form part of Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited, which is under one efficient and cost-effective umbrella. Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited’s wholly owned subsidiary, Cheshire Trafford (U.K.) Limited currently has approximately 430 clients that have authorized our company to administrate between $8,000 and $650,000 of their money, the total representing tens of millions of dollars of funds under administration.

EXCHANGE LISTINGS

We also assist our clients with the selection of stock exchanges and over the counter quotation boards and markets that may be suitable to our clients. Various exchanges have listing requirements and standards that vary from one exchange to another. Typical listing requirements and standards relate to a number of things, such as pre-tax income, cash flows, revenue, net tangible assets, market value of a company’s listed securities, minimum trading prices of a company’s securities, minimum shareholders’ equity, operating history, number of shareholders, number of market makers, and corporate governance. We will try to identify appropriate exchanges for our clients based on the particular client’s operating history, pre-tax income, cash flow, revenue, net tangible assets, shareholder base and other factors described above.

We will assist our clients with retention of attorneys and accountants having experience with publicly held companies and stock exchanges in various countries. We will also assist our clients in locating market makers, investment bankers and broker-dealers to assist them with accessing capital markets.

INTRODUCTIONS TO FINANCIERS

After reviewing the business plans, prospects and problems that are unique to each of our clients, we will use our best efforts to introduce our clients to various third party financial resources around the world who may be able to assist them with their capital funding requirements.

After the acquisition of Cheshire Trafford U.K. Limited on August 1, 2018, the Company also gained access to the Cheshire Trafford U.K. Limited’s client’s database, currently comprised of more than 430 individual clients, which are now part of our insurance brokerage business segment.

OUR BUSINESS IN 2019

Since August 1, 2018, the Company operated in two reportable business segments:

	1)	Management Consultancy Services (the “Consultancy” segment); and

	2)	A segment which concentrates on third party insurance policy sales and renewals (the “Insurance brokerage” segment). The Company’s reportable segments were strategic business units that offered different products.

Both business segments are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations and locations.

Under the Consultancy segment, we have three distinct divisions (none of which will be treated as a segment for financial reporting purposes):

	1.	Introducers Network. We have developed and continue to develop several finance professionals, accountants, attorneys and financial advisers who will introduce us to their clients. We will review businesses introduced to us through these introducers and we will compensate them in manners “to be determined” based on the event that we are engaged to assist the companies they introduce to us.

	2.	Project Review. Our management team and advisors will carefully review and vet each business plan and opportunity submitted to us. Our management team and advisors will determine which services we can offer these clients and assess the potential propositions to best assist our clients in achieving their goals.

	3.	Placing. Working with our business associates in Dubai, Europe and the United States, we will use our best efforts to assist our clients with listings on stock exchanges in these cities and countries in order to maximize their exposure to capital markets and to access funding via debt and equity offerings.

FUTURE PLANS

Our specific plan of operations and milestones from March 2020 through March 2021 are as follows:

CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND GROW ALREADY ACQUIRED IFA BUSINESSES – CHESHIRE TRAFFORD (U.K.) LIMITED.

In January 2020, we revised the Terms of Business that we send out to all current and new clients. This revision contemplates offering these clients two types of services packages, “Basic” and “Comprehensive,” at a fee rate of 0.75% per annum (a minimum annual fee of 750 GBP or $980) and 1% per annum (a minimum annual fee of 1,000 GBP or $1,300), respectively. The “Basic” service package is what we are legally obliged to offer under U.K. FCA guidelines and the “Comprehensive” service package is much more complete and contemplates additional added value for the client. Within the revised Terms of Business, we have also implemented an upfront 3% fee that is payable by each new client that is onboarded to our client base. Both the upfront fee and annual fee are based on the amount of Funds that legacy clients and new clients authorize our Company to Administrate and ultimately look after their financial affairs.

So far this year, we have 25 new business clients that have sent us signed letters of authority and wish to engage our Company. Most of these new clients have opted for the “Comprehensive” service package. It is important to note that the Funds that we currently administrate range from $8,000 to $650,000 per client (equivalent to 6,000 GBP to 500,000 GBP) and that we have calculated that the average amount of Funds that we administrate per client, taking into consideration our historical data, is approximately $72,500.

Our goal for 2020, is to attract at least 100 new business clients (25 of which already are in the process of being onboarded as new business clients) hence our intent is to raise the Funds that we currently administrate by between $7.25 million to up $10 million. Between the 3% initial upfront fee and the ongoing/recurring 1% or 0.75% administration fee, we are aiming to raise our gross income by at least $250,000 on the low side and up to $400,000 on the high side in 2020. This uplift in gross revenue would represent 2 to 3 times the currently gross income.

Finally, it is our intent in 2020 to continue to leverage the licenses that we now own as believe that we can significantly increase our business and revenues at very little extra cost and improve profitability.

SEEK FURTHER FUNDING FOR FURTHER INORGANIC GROWTH VIA ACQUISITION

The Company is looking into entering a long-term funding agreement up to $10 million U.S. Dollars with a with a new European based Regulated Fund in order to accelerate our inorganic growth and acquisition plan with a view to consolidate our Company in the marketplace. Currently all negotiations are verbal negotiations.

ACQUIRE CERTAIN INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISORY FIRMS WITH FUNDS UNDER ADMINISTRATION:

During the year ended December 31, 2019, management commenced certain negotiations to acquire 100% of an Independent Financial Advisory (IFA) firm based in London (United Kingdom). This targeted IFA currently has 136 Million GBP (approximately U.S. $179 Million) of Funds under Administration and historical recurring revenues of a little more than One Million GBP (approximately U.S. $1.32 million). However, we do not currently have any written agreements as management is still in verbal negotiations with the owners of this IFA.

The Company intends to target and acquire more Independent Financial Advisory firms with funds under administration during the next 12 to 24 months.

As the Company acquires more Financial Advisory firms, each book of business will be analyzed to achieve the maximum return and revenue from the client bank without affecting the client offering. In addition, certain cost savings will be managed into the budgets by using technology for the administration, looking for duplication of services and by managing the client and the funds under administration in a more efficient way.

The acquisition of these entities will open a new network for the services of:

	o	New capital markets clients.
	o	Distribution of new funds / products.
	o	Maximizing the current books of business being bought.
	o	Expand and thus increase business via more financial advisors.
	o	Seek products that offer both a minimum of 1% trail (recurring) income and a secure risk averse home for clients’ funds.
	o	Seek cost savings, where possible, due to elimination of duplicate services.
	o	Implement rapid and efficient systems in order to allow information to flow to the clients and to management more effectively.
	o	Acquiring smaller, active client banks into our licenses and procedures for cost effective growth.

COMMENCE A TARGETED MARKETING PLAN

During 2020, our United Kingdom regulated business, Cheshire Trafford (U.K.) Limited, will continue with the direct marketing campaign that commenced in the second quarter of 2019, within the region using traditional print media, radio advertising, social media and editorial pieces. In conjunction with this campaign, the website and marketing of the Company will be refocused with a completely new image based around “Over 40 years of serving the community.” Two days per month in our office in the United Kingdom, we will offer free consultation to prospective clients that come and visit us, thus enabling us to potentially recruit them as new clients.

FURTHER EXPAND OUR RANGE OF SERVICES TO OUR FINANCIAL SERVICES CLIENTS

We will bring additional products to the client bank in order to maximize the potential returns per client with complementary products such as mortgages, trusts and more attractive funds.

CAPITAL MARKETS

The Company intends to continue its mandate to assist its client, Creditum Limited, with the listing of the Creditum Limited´s shares on the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”). Management believes that this public listing should be fully executed and finalized by sometime in the year 2020.

COMPETITION

We face intense competition in every aspect of our business, and particularly from other firms that offer management, compliance and other consulting services to private and public companies. We would prefer to accept a relatively low cash component as our fee for management consulting and regulatory compliance services and take a greater portion of our fee in the form of restricted shares of our private clients’ common stock. We also face competition from many consulting firms, investment banks, venture capitalists, merchant banks, financial advisors and other management consulting and regulatory compliance services firms similar to ours. Many of our competitors have greater financial and management resources and some have greater market recognition than we do. There are many institutions around the globe that are executing a roll-up strategy by acquiring Financial Advisory firms around the world; hence, we will face completion, but we believe that there is plenty of room for our Company to compete within the Financial Advisory world.

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.

Regarding the Corporate Consultancy Service segment of our business, we are not required to obtain any special licenses, nor meet any special regulatory requirements before establishing our business, other than a simple business license. If new government regulations, laws, or licensing requirements are passed that would restrict or eliminate delivery of any of our intended products, then our business may suffer. Presently, to the best of our knowledge, no such regulations, laws, or licensing requirements exist or are likely to be implemented in the near future that would reasonably be expected to have a material impact on our sales, revenues, or income from our business operations. Furthermore, we are not a broker-dealer. We are not an investment adviser or an investment company. We are not a hedge fund or a mutual fund or any similar type of fund.

Regarding the Independent Financial Advisory (IFA) segment of our business, our subsidiary Cheshire Trafford UK Limited is required to be fully registered and licensed by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

EFFECT OF EXISTING OR PROBABLE GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS.

The Company’s common stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”). As a result of such registration, the Company is subject to Regulation 14A of the “1934 Act,” which regulates proxy solicitations. Section 14(a) requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) thereof to comply with the rules and regulations of the Commission regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to stockholders of the Company at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require the Company to provide its stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to stockholders.

The Company is also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Commission on a regular basis, and will be required to disclose certain events in a timely manner (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business, etc.) in Current Reports on Form 8-K.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO TIMELY COMPLY WITH SECTION 404 OR IF THE COSTS RELATED TO COMPLIANCE ARE SIGNIFICANT, OUR PROFITABILITY, STOCK PRICE AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

The Company is required to comply with the provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires that we document and test our internal controls and certify that we are responsible for maintaining an adequate system of internal control procedures for the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years. We are currently evaluating our existing controls against the standards adopted by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. During the course of our ongoing evaluation and integration of the internal controls of our business, we may identify areas requiring improvement, and we may have to design enhanced processes and controls to address issues identified through this review (see Item 9A., below, for a discussion of our internal controls and procedures).

We believe that the out-of-pocket costs, the diversion of management’s attention from running the day-to-day operations and operational changes caused by the need to comply with the requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could be significant. If the time and costs associated with such compliance exceed our current expectations, our results of operations and the future filings of our Company could be materially adversely affected.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY EMPLOYEES.

The Company is heavily dependent on the abilities of our newly appointed President and CEO, Mr. Nicholas Tuke, and our Chief Financial Officer, Enzo Taddei. The loss of the services of Mr. Tuke and/or Mr. Taddei would seriously undermine our ability to carry out our business plan.

In the event of future growth in administration, advisory, marketing and customer support functions, the Company may have to increase the depth and experience of its management team by adding new members. The Company’s success will depend to a large degree upon the active participation of our key officers and employees, as well as the continued service of our key management personnel and our ability to identify, hire, and retain additional qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to recruit such qualified personnel to enable us to conduct our proposed business successfully.

REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS.

We are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in accordance therewith, we file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy and information statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such reports, proxy statements and other information can be read and copied at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s public reference facilities at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549, at prescribed rates. Please call the Securities and Exchange Commission at 1-800-732-0330 for further information on the operation of the public reference facilities. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The address of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website is www.sec.gov.

We make available free of charge on or through our website at www.arg47.com, our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange act of 1934, as amended, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with or otherwise furnish it to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Information on our website is not incorporated by reference in this Annual Report and is not a part of this Annual Report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information in this Annual Report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (sometimes referred to herein as the “SEC”) before investing in our Common Stock. Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below, the other information in this Annual Report and the documents incorporated by reference herein when evaluating our Company and our business. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and investors could lose all or a part of the money paid for our Common Stock.

INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY MATERIALIZES, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WOULD SUFFER AND OUR SHAREHOLDERS COULD LOSE ALL OR PART OF THEIR INVESTMENT IN OUR SHARES.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY

THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY THAT WE WILL CONTINUE OPERATIONS. IN THAT CASE, INVESTORS COULD LOSE THEIR INVESTMENTS IN OUR COMMON STOCK.

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such, we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.

WE ARE AN “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY” AND WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN IF WE WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN SUCH STATUS OR IF THE REDUCED DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EMERGING GROWTH COMPANIES WILL MAKE OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 or “JOBS Act,” and we may adopt 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(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirement of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five full fiscal years following our initial public offering of our common equity securities. Note: To date, we have not sold or issued any of our common equity securities under an effective Form S-1, Form S-3, Form S-4 or Form S-8 or other form of registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We would cease to be an emerging growth company, and, therefore, ineligible to rely on the above exemptions, if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenue in a fiscal year, if we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period, or if we have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates as of June 30 in the fiscal year before the end of the five full fiscal years. Additionally, 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 of our reduced disclosures, there may be less active trading in our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

AS A RESULT OF OUR INTENSELY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY, WE MAY NOT GAIN ENOUGH MARKET SHARE TO BE PROFITABLE.

The corporate consulting and funds management businesses are intensely competitive and due to our small size and limited resources, we may be at a competitive disadvantage, especially as a public company. There are several firms offering similar services. Many of our competitors have proven track records and substantial human and financial resources, as opposed to our Company who has limited human resources and little cash. Also, the financial burden of being a public company, which will cost us approximately U.S.$65,000 per year in auditing fees and legal fees to comply with our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, will strain our finances and stretch our human resources to the extent that we may have to price our consultancy service fees higher than our non-publicly held competitors just to cover the costs of being a public company.

WE ARE VULNERABLE TO THE CATASTROPHIC EVENTS WHICH MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR PROFITABILITY AND ABILITY TO CARRY OUT OUR BUSINESS PLAN.

We are potentially vulnerable to catastrophic events that could affect our profitability and our ability to carry out our business plan. For example, sudden disruptions in business conditions may result from terrorist attacks similar to the events of September 11, 2001 in the United States, many other terrorist attacks in Europe and the United States in the past three years, including further attacks, retaliation and the threat of further attacks or retaliation, war, civil unrest in the Middle East, chaotic immigration problems in Europe, adverse weather conditions or other natural disasters, such as hurricanes and tsunamis, pandemic situations such as the current COVID-19 virus spreading around the world, interruptions to the Internet or large scale power outages can have a short term or, sometimes, long term impact on spending.

BECAUSE OUR FORMER BUSINESS MODEL ANTICIPATED OUR RECEIVING EQUITY STAKES IN OUR CLIENTS, MOST OF WHOM WERE DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANIES, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESELL SUCH EQUITY AT SUITABLE PRICES, IF AT ALL, WHICH COULD MATERIALLY IMPACT OUR EARNINGS AND ABILITY TO REMAIN IN BUSINESS.

Our former business model anticipated that we would receive, as partial compensation for our consulting services, equity stakes in our clients, many of whom were development stage companies. We valued those equity stakes at the time we received them. Investments in development stage companies are risky because many of such companies’ securities are illiquid, thinly traded (if at all) and the value of such securities will be subject to adjustments should the value of such securities decline, should such securities be delisted from an exchange or cease being quoted on a stock quotation medium or should such businesses fail, which could cause us to write-down or write-off the value of such securities and result in a negative impact to our earnings and possibly cause us to cease or curtail our operations.

OUR SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE DILUTED THROUGH OUR EFFORTS TO OBTAIN FINANCING, FUND OUR OPERATIONS AND SATISFY OUR OBLIGATIONS THROUGH ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

We will likely have to issue additional shares of our common Stock to fund our operations and to implement our plan of operation. Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock issued in lieu of cash. Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the 359,010,591 authorized, but unissued, shares of our common stock. Future issuances of shares of our common stock will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, may further dilute common stock book value and that dilution may be material.

FINRA SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER’S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.

The FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AUTHORIZE THE ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock.

We have 45,000,000 shares of Series “B” Preferred Stock outstanding at this time, which shares are owned by our management. We have 3,300,000 shares of Series “C” Preferred Stock outstanding at this time, 2,900.000 of which shares are owned by our management. All shares of our Series “B” and “C” Preferred Stock are contractually locked-up until September 27, 2020; hence, such shares cannot be sold or converted into common stock on any prior date.

We have an additional 1,700,000 shares of Series “C” Preferred Stock authorized and designated, but not issued or outstanding.

We no longer have any shares of Series “A” Preferred Stock authorized, designated or outstanding.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s Common Stock was quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol ARGQ. The market for the Company’s Common Stock is limited, volatile and sporadic and the price of the Company’s Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in operating results, news announcements, trading volume, sales of Common Stock by officers, directors and principal shareholders of the Company, general market trends, changes in the supply and demand for the Company’s shares, and other factors. The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices for each quarter relating to the Company’s Common Stock for the last two fiscal years. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, markdown, or commissions, and may not reflect actual transactions.

This represents the closing bid information for the stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. The bid and ask quotations represent prices between dealers and do not include retail markup, markdown or commission. They do not represent actual transactions and have not been adjusted for stock dividends or splits.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “Penny Stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and (ii) 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. In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating 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 SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, and about 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.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market.

HOLDERS.

As of the date of this filing, there were 89 record holders of the shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock.

DIVIDENDS.

The Company has not paid any cash dividends to date and does not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention of management to utilize all available funds for the development of the Company’s business.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

CAUTIONARY FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENT

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of Argentum 47, Inc. should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes. References to “we”, “our,” or “us” in this section refers to the Company and its subsidiaries. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions.

A.	*Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies:*

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

We believe that the critical accounting policies set forth in the accompanying consolidated financial statements describe the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. These critical accounting policies pertain to revenues recognition, valuation of investments, convertible notes and derivatives and stock-based compensation.

If actual events differ significantly from the underlying judgments or estimates used by management in the application of these accounting policies, there could be a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

B.	Business overview:

On March 24, 2017, the Board of Directors of Global Equity Partners Plc. approved the assignment and transfer of GE Professionals DMMC to GEP Equity Holdings Limited.

On December 12, 2017, we incorporated a United Kingdom company under the name of Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited (“Argentum FM”). Argentum FM is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Argentum FM was formed to serve as a holding company for the acquisition of United Kingdom based advisory firms. During 2019, the Company intends to acquire more licensed financial advisory firms.

On March 29, 2018, we changed our corporate name to Argentum 47, Inc.

On June 6, 2018, the Company secured a 12-month fixed price convertible loan, from Xantis Aion Securitization Fund (Luxembourg), for a minimum of 1,700,000 Great Britain Pounds (equivalent to approximately $1,940,000) carrying an interest at the rate of 6% per annum. The Company has a right to pay this note on earlier than 366 days’ post investment of each tranche of funding, by issuing common shares at a conversion price equal to the greater of $0.02 or the average closing ask price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB for the prior 60 trading days. To date, the Company has received $1,388,040 under this loan, of which $735,000 and related accrued interest was converted into 38,955,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on June 5, 2019.

Cheshire Trafford currently has four full time employees and approximately 430 clients that have authorized our company to administrate between $8,000 and $650,000 of their money.

Our authorized capital consists of 950,000,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $0.001 per share and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.001. As of December 31, 2018, we had 525,534,409 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2019, we had 590,989,409 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

In March 2020, we issued an additional 100,000 shares of Series “C” Preferred Stock to Mr. Nicholas Tuke, our new Chief Executive Officer, so we currently have a total of 3,300,000 shares of Series “C” Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. We do not have any Series “A” Preferred Stock authorized, issued or outstanding. We have 1,700,000 shares of Series “C” Preferred Stock designated and authorized, which could be issued in the future. All shares of our Series “B” and Series “C” Preferred Stock are contractually locked-up until September 27, 2020; hence, they cannot be sold or converted into common stock at any time prior to that date.

The Company had revenues from continuing operations amounting to $112,080 and $98,613, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

	December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018		Changes

Revenue from continuing operations	$	112,080	$	98,613	$	13,467
	$	112,080	$	98,613	$	13,467

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we generated all our revenue from our insurance brokerage business segment amounting to $112,080, while during the comparative year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized a revenue from continuing operations from following business segments:

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had the following concentrations of revenues with customers from continuing operations:

Customer	Location	December 31, 2019			December 31, 2018

DUO	Sri Lanka		0	%		2.03	%
GRL	United Kingdom		0	%		30.42	%
CT clients (see below)	United Kingdom		100	%		67.55	%

The total operating expenditures of continuing operations amounted to $730,902 and $1,130,190, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The following table sets forth the Company’s operating expenditure analysis for both years:

	December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018		Change

General and administrative expenses	$	162,655	$	133,440	$	29,215
Compensation		380,770		645,769		(264,999	)

Total operating expenses of continuing operations	$	730,902	$	1,130,190	$	(399,288	)

During the year ended December 31, 2019, total operating expenses from continuing operations decreased by $399,288 from the comparative year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease is mainly due to a decrease in the compensation expense in 2018 as all of the officers and directors received additional stock-based compensation of $160,000 in the form of shares of Series “C” Preferred Stock in lieu of accrued salaries. There was no such stock-based compensation given during the current year ended December 31, 2019. Furthermore, in September 2019, both of the officers and directors of the Company renewed their employment agreements at a reduced salary, resulting in a decrease in salaries expense during the year ended December 31, 2019 amounting to $100,000. Also, there was a decrease of $147,570 in the professional services because the Company received services related to introduction of new business and acquisition targets during the year ended December 31, 2018. There were no such professional services received during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The loss from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, was $618,822 and $1,031,577, respectively.

The Company´s other income / (expenses) of continuing operations, net for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, were $(1,216,146) and $(479,254), respectively. The following table sets forth the Company’s other income and (expenses) analysis for both periods:

	December 31, 2019			December 31, 2018			Changes

Total other (expenses) / other income of continuing operations	$	(1,216,146	)	$	(479,254	)	$	(736,892	)

During the year ended December 31, 2019, our total other expenses increased by $736,892 when compared to our total other income (expenses) for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase was mainly due to the fact that during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a net loss on available for sale securities amounting to $1,084,168 and $501,334, respectively. This resulted in an increase in other expenses amounting to $582,834. In addition, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt and other liabilities of $224,046 during year ended December 31, 2018, while the Company only recorded a gain on debt extinguishment of $2,500 during the year ended December 31, 2019. This resulted in an increase in other expense of $221,546. The Company also revalued fair value of contingent acquisition payable as at December 31, 2019 which resulted in a gain on revaluation of payable for acquisition of $67,897 during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $1,889,113 and $1,607,027, respectively. The Company’s other comprehensive loss includes (loss) / gain recorded on foreign currency translation of $(19,140) and $13,472 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

	December 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
Comprehensive income (loss):
Net loss	$	(1,869,973	)	$	(1,620,499	)
Gain on foreign currency translation		(19,140	)		13,472
Comprehensive (loss) / income	$	(1,889,113	)	$	(1,607,027	)

At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had 590,989,409 and 525,534,409 common shares issued and outstanding, respectively. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was 573,178,505 and 525,534,409 common shares, respectively.

E.	*Liquidity and Capital reserves:*

The accompanying 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 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 consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $1,869,973 and net cash used in operations of $346,645 for the year ended December 31, 2019; working capital deficit, stockholder’s deficit and accumulated deficit of $581,086, $1,157,840 and $13,223,188 as of December 31, 2019. 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.
	f)	Acquiring and managing more Independent Financial Advisory firms with funds under administration located around the globe.
	g)	Sell the Company´s marketable securities, if and, when possible.

In January of 2018, the Company secured two funding agreements, one with Xantis Private Equity Fund (Luxembourg) for a minimum of 2,000,000 Great Britain Pounds (approximately $2.68 million at the time) and another with William Marshal Plc., a United Kingdom Public Limited Company listed on the Cyprus Public Exchange Emerging Companies Market, for up to a further 2,000,000 Great Britain Pounds (approximately $2.68 million at the time). The Company has a unilateral right to pay each Note, by issuing common shares, 366 days after each tranche of funding is received, at a conversion price equal to the greater of $0.02 or the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB for the prior 60 trading days. To date, the Company has received an aggregate of $500,000 from Xantis Private Equity Fund and William Marshal Plc. During the year ended December 31, 2019, these loans and accrued interest were converted into 26,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock ($0.02 per shares as contractually agreed).

In June of 2018, the Company secured another funding agreement with Xantis AION Securitisation Fund (Luxembourg) for a minimum of 1,700,000 Great Britain Pounds (equivalent to approximately U.S. $1.94 million at the time). The Company has a unilateral right to pay each note, by issuing common shares, 366 days after each tranche of funding is received, at a conversion price equal to the greater of $0.02 or the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB for the prior 60 trading days. To date, the Company has received $1,388,040 under this loan, of which $735,000 and related accrued interest was converted into 38,955,000 shares of the Company’s common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The remaining funding received from Xantis Aion Securitisation Fund on October 10, 2018 amounting to $653,040, represents 29% of the Company’s total liabilities as of December 31, 2019. The management has recently negotiated revised terms for this funding with the lender whereby the Company has deferred the conversion of the second tranche of the June 6, 2018 funding agreement for a further two (2) years and one (1) day from December 13, 2019. The conversion price of the second tranche of the June 6, 2018 funding agreement into equity of the Company will be equivalent to the closing market price two days prior the new conversion date.

In December of 2019, the Company secured a two-year funding agreement with Aegeus Securitisation Fund (Luxembourg) for a minimum of 500,000 Great Britain Pounds (equivalent to approximately U.S. $658,200 at the time) carrying an interest at the rate of 6% per annum. The lender has a sole discretion to convert the loan into common shares of the Company, 2 years and 1 day from the execution date of funding agreement, at a conversion price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the OTCBB 2 trading days prior to the conversion. To date, the Company has received $329,100 under this loan.

The accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to related parties currently amount to $458,518. These accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to related parties represent 41% of the Company’s current liabilities and is primarily due to management. It is important to note that this related party debt can or may be forgiven by management or alternatively converted into equity at any time, if required.

These obligatory conversions of debt into equity and the possibility of forgiveness of the related party debt are both factors that will help towards mitigating the risks of not being able to continue operating as a Going Concern.

During 2018, the Company´s management decided to implement its inorganic growth plan hence commenced to target the acquisition of various licensed financial advisory firms with millions of U.S. Dollars of funds under administration.

On August 1, 2018, the Company acquired its first financial advisory firm that administrated approximately U.S. $44,000,000 and its intent is to continue growing these funds under administration organically (internal growth of the business acquired) and inorganically (by way of acquiring more independent financial advisory firms when the correct opportunities arise).

During the latter part of 2018 and early 2019, the Company´s IFA business, Cheshire Trafford (U.K.) Limited, commenced leveraging its licenses in order to put in motion an aggressive marketing strategy with a view to significantly increase the business (funds under administration) and, by defect, the revenues. This was implemented at very little extra cost and will improve, over time, our current recurring and non-recurring revenues. The Company also started to market its IFA business as a United Kingdom fully licensed entity for various Appointed Representatives (“AR”) and also Introducer Appointed Representatives (“IAR”); hence, in late 2018, Aurum Wealth Management Limited was approved by the UK Financial Authority (“FCA”) as an AR of Cheshire Trafford and in early 2019, Global Alternative Administration (The Pension Admin Team) was appointed as an IAR to Cheshire Trafford. The Company has also completely revamped the website of our IFA business (www.ctifa.com) and started a UK radio campaign as part of the IFA Business´ marketing strategy.

Finally, any short fall in our projected operating revenues will be covered by:

	●	The cash fees and commissions received by our subsidiary Cheshire Trafford UK Limited.
	●	Receiving short term loans from one or more of our directors even though at the present time, we do not have verbal or written commitments from any of our directors to lend us money.
	●	Continuing to receive capital funding from any of the lenders that have a contractual agreement in place with the Company.
	●	Liquidating (selling), when necessary, part or all our investments and/or Marketable Securities.

F.	*Business Development:*

MILESTONES FOR 2020-2021:

Our specific plan of operations and milestones from March 2020 through March 2021 are as follows:

CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND GROW ALREADY ACQUIRED IFA BUSINESSES – CHESHIRE TRAFFORD (U.K.) LIMITED.

In January 2020, we revised the Terms of Business that we send out to all current and new clients. This revision contemplates offering these clients two types of services packages, “Basic” and “Comprehensive” at a fee rate of 0.75% per annum (a minimum annual fee of 750 GBP or $980) and 1% per annum (a minimum annual fee of 1,000 GBP or $1,300), respectively. The “Basic” service package is what we are legally obliged to offer under U.K. FCA guidelines and the “Comprehensive” service package is much more complete and contemplates additional added value for the client. Within the revised Terms of Business, we have also implemented an upfront 3% fee that is payable by each new client that is onboarded to our client base. Both the upfront fee and annual fee are based on the amount of Funds that legacy clients and new clients authorize our Company to Administrate and ultimately look after their financial affairs.

Our goal for 2020 is to attract at least 100 new business clients (25 of which already are in the process of being onboarded as new business clients); hence, our intent is to raise the Funds that we currently administrate by between $7.25 million to up $10 million. Between the 3% initial upfront fee and the ongoing/recurring 1% or 0.75% administration fee, we are aiming to raise our gross income by at least $250,000 on the low side and up to $400,000 on the high side in 2020. This uplift in gross revenue would represent 2 to 3 times the current gross income.

SEEK FURTHER FUNDING FOR FURTHER INORGANIC GROWTH VIA ACQUISITION

ACQUIRE CERTAIN INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISORY FIRMS WITH FUNDS UNDER ADMINISTRATION:

The Company intends to target and acquire more Independent Financial Advisory firms with funds under administration during the next 12 to 24 months.

The acquisition of these entities will open a new network for the services of:

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

	(1)	pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

	(2)	provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and

	(3)	provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO (2013). The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permits us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

IDENTIFIED MATERIAL WEAKNESSES AND SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCIES

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected. During our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, no material weaknesses were found.

CONCLUSION

Our management concluded that the Company´s internal controls over financial reporting were effective.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.

We did not change our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Our directors do not receive any compensation for serving as a member of our board of directors, as they are compensated pursuant to their employment agreements as officers of the Company.

INDEMNIFICATION.

Article VII, Section 7 of the Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Nevada.

The Nevada Revised Statutes allow us to indemnify our officers, directors, employees, and agents from any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except under certain circumstances. Indemnification may only occur if a determination has been made that the officer, director, employee, or agent acted in good faith and in a manner, which such person believed to be in the best interests of the corporation. A determination may be made by the shareholders; by a majority of the directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding confirmed by opinion of independent legal counsel; or by opinion of independent legal counsel in the event a quorum of directors who were not a party to such action, suit, or proceeding does not exist.

The expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by us as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, if and only if the officer or director undertakes to repay said expenses to us if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by us.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses may not be made to or on behalf of any officer or director if a final adjudication establishes that the officer’s or director’s acts or omission involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the company, we have been advised by our special securities counsel that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 12.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

The following tables set forth, as of the date of this Annual Report, the ownership of our common stock and preferred stock by (a) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock and preferred stock; and (b) by all of named officers and our directors and by all of our named executive officers and directors as a group. To the best of our knowledge, the persons named have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares and are beneficial owners of the shares indicated in the tables, except as otherwise noted by footnote.

The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

(a) Security ownership of certain beneficial owners:

Title of Class	Name and Address of Beneficial Owner	Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership		Notes		Percent of Class

Common Stock	Xantis Aion Securitization Fund		60,155,000		—		10.17	%

The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the security holder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares, which the security holder has the right to acquire within 60 days. On the date of this Annual Report, each share of Series B Preferred Stock has 10 votes on all matters brought before meetings of shareholders and each share of Series C Preferred Stock has 100 votes on all matters brought before meetings of shareholders.

Audit Fees	$	49,100	$	42,000
Audit-Related Fees		-		73,000
Tax Fees		-		-

Audit Fees

Audit fees were professional services rendered for the audits of our financial statements and for review of our quarterly financial statements during the 2019 and 2018 fiscal years.

Audit-Related Fees

This category consists of assurance and related services by the independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported above under “Audit Fees.”

Tax Fees

As our independent registered public accountants did not provide any services to us for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, no tax fees were billed or paid during those fiscal years.

All Other Fees

Our independent registered public accounting firm did not provide any products and services not disclosed in the table above during the 2019 and 2018 fiscal years. As a result, there were no other fees billed or paid during those fiscal years.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before Principal Accountants are engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

	●	approved by our audit committee (which consists of our entire board of directors); or

	●	entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the board of directors, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the board of directors is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the board of directors’ responsibilities to management.

Our Board of Directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

Our Board of Directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our principal accountants and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our principal accountants’ independence.

During the 2019 and 2018 fiscal years, the Company used the following pre-approval procedures related to the selection of our independent auditors and the services they provide: unanimous consent of all directors via a board resolution.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of:

Argentum 47, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Argentum 47, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity / (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss and cash used in operations of $1,869,973 and $346,645, respectively, in 2019 and has a working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit of $581,086, $1,157,840 and $13,223,188, respectively, at December 31, 2019. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s Plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations

Argentum 47, Inc., formerly Global Equity International Inc. (the “Company” or “ARG”), a reporting company since June 21, 2012, was organized under the laws of the state of Nevada on October 1, 2010. Global Equity Partners, Plc. (“GEP”), a private company, was organized under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles on September 2, 2009. On November 15, 2010, GEP executed a reverse recapitalization with ARG. On August 22, 2014, we formed a Dubai subsidiary of GEP called GE Professionals DMCC. On June 10, 2016, ARG incorporated its wholly owned subsidiary, called GEP Equity Holdings Limited (“GEP EH”), under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. On March 14, 2017, the Company´s board of directors unanimously voted to transfer the ownership of GE Professionals DMCC (Dubai) to GEP EH. On June 5, 2017, the Company sold 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of GEP to a citizen of the Republic of Thailand by entering into a Stock Purchase and Debt Assumption Agreement. On December 12, 2017, ARG incorporated another wholly owned subsidiary, called Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited (“Argentum FM”), under the Companies Act 2006 of England and Wales as a private limited company. Argentum FM was formed to serve as a holding Company for the acquisition of various advisory firms.

On March 29, 2018, the Company formally changed its name from Global Equity International, Inc. to Argentum 47, Inc.

On August 1, 2018, Argentum FM entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with a third party, pursuant to which Argentum FM acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Cheshire Trafford (U.K.) Limited of Hull, United Kingdom (“Cheshire Trafford”). Cheshire Trafford was incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom on January 26, 1976, as a limited liability company.

On March 18, 2019, the Board of Directors of GEP Equity Holdings Limited decided to commence the process to formally and legally liquidate GE Professionals DMCC and its related employment placement services business with an effective date of March 31, 2019. This decision was made so to allow management of Argentum 47, Inc. to fully concentrate on the Company´s core businesses, Independent Financial Advisory and Business Consulting. Accordingly, GE Professionals DMCC has been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes (See Note 6). On February 11, 2020, the liquidation proceedings of GE Professionals DMCC were completed and it is formally liquidated as of the filing of this report.

The Company´s consolidated revenues from continuing operations are generated from business consulting services and by acting as broker for sale of Lump Sum or Single Premium Insurance Policies and/or the sale of Regular Premium Investment or Insurance Policies that are issued by third party insurance companies.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All amounts in the consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 3 - Going Concern

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

	a)	Consummating and executing all current engagements related to the business consulting division.
	b)	Continually engaging with new clients via our business consulting division.
	c)	Maximizing the already acquired Independent Financial Advisory firm´s revenues by way of servicing the current client base in the most professional manner possible.
	d)	Organically growing the amount of funds under administration of the already acquired Independent Financial Advisory firm to new and higher levels.
	e)	Continuing to receive fixed funding, via equity or debt, for acquisition, growth and working capital from parties that have already executed funding agreement with the Company.
	f)	Continuing to negotiate new fixed funding via equity or debt, for further acquisitions, growth and working capital.
	g)	Acquiring and managing more Independent Financial Advisory firms with funds under administration located around the globe.

Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

Argentum 47, Inc. (“ARG”) is the parent company of its two 100% owned subsidiaries called GEP Equity Holdings Limited (“GEP EH”) and Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited (“Argentum FM”). GEP EH is the parent company of its 100% owned subsidiary, GE Professionals DMCC (Dubai). GE Professionals DMCC has been presented as a discontinued operation as of December 31, 2019 as it has completed the liquidation proceedings on February 11, 2020. Argentum FM is the parent company of its 100% owned subsidiary, Cheshire Trafford U.K. Limited (U.K.) from August 1, 2018 pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated August 1, 2018. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2018 consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified from Interest expense to Change in fair value of acquisition payable to conform to the 2019 presentation. This reclassification increased Change in fair value of acquisition payable, in Other expenses of the consolidated statements of operations by $7,561 and decreased Interest expense in Other expenses of the consolidated statements of operations by the same amount in 2018.

Argentum 47, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation, or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include accounts receivable and related revenues for our subsidiary, Cheshire Trafford, allowance for doubtful accounts and loans, estimates of fair value of securities received for services, estimates of fair value of securities held, depreciation period of fixed assets, valuation of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of acquired businesses, fair value of business purchase consideration, fair value of the lease liabilities, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and equity valuations for non-cash equity grants.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, competition and potential risk of business failure.

Segment Reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

The Company uses “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no cash equivalents. At times balances may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000. We have not experienced any losses related to these balances. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, balance in one financial institution exceeded federally insured limits by $73,480 and $0, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company recognizes accounts receivable in connection with the services provided. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. There was no allowance for bad debt at December 31, 2019 and 2018. However, there were direct write offs of $30,000 during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Foreign currency policy

The Company’s accounting policies related to the consolidation and accounting for foreign operations are as follows: The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the Company’s discontinued Dubai subsidiary is the Arab Emirates Dirham (“AED”) and the functional currency of the Company’s U.K. subsidiaries is Great Britain Pounds (“GBP”). All foreign currency balances and transactions are translated into United States dollars (“$” and/or “USD”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of our stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the non-operating income or expenses of the statement of operations.

Investments

(A)

Classification of Securities

Marketable Securities

As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Topic 825-10): “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” which amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Some of the amendments in ASU 2016-01 include the following: 1) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. 2) It simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. 3) It requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. 4) It requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value; among others. After evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements, the management has reversed $1,181,675 from accumulated other comprehensive income to opening retained earnings as a cumulative effect adjustment on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method.

At the time of the acquisition, a marketable security is designated as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading, which depends on the ability and intent to hold such security to maturity. Securities classified as trading and available-for-sale are reported at fair value, while securities classified as held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost.

All changes in the fair value of the securities are reported in the earnings as they occur in a single line item “Gain (loss) on available for sale securities, net.” Therefore, no gain/loss is recognized on the sale of securities.

Cost Method Investments

Securities that are not classified as marketable securities are accounted for under the cost method. These securities are recorded at their original cost basis and are subject to impairment testing.

(B)

Other than Temporary Impairment

The Company reviews its equity investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other than temporary and require the recognition of an impairment loss in the statement of operations. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investments. Management also considers the type of security, related-industry and sector performance, as well as published investment ratings and analyst reports, to evaluate its portfolio. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, the Company may incur future impairments. The Company did not record any such impairment during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided based on estimated useful lives of the assets. Cost of improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to expense when incurred. In case of sale or disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated financial statements.

Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which requires a lessee to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases. Leases will continue to be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease. We adopted this standard by applying the optional transition method on the adoption date and did not adjust comparative periods. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient to not reassess whether any expired contracts contained leases. Furthermore, the Company has elected to not apply the recognition standards of ASU 2016-02 to operating leases with effective terms of twelve months or less (“Short-Term Leases”). For Short-Term Leases, the Company recognizes lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. On the adoption date, all of the Company’s contracts containing leases were expired or were Short Term Leases. Accordingly, upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02, there was no cumulative effect adjustment.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records any “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) intrinsic value as additional paid in capital and related debt discount.

When the Company records a BCF, intrinsic value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is amortized over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Debt Issue Costs

The Company may pay debt issue costs in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt whether convertible or not or with other consideration. These costs are recorded as debt discounts and are amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as amortization of debt discount.

Original Issue Discount

If debt is issued with an original issue discount, the original issue discount is recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized over the life of the debt to the statement of operations as amortization of debt discount. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. Upon conversion of a note where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, the Company records the shares at fair value, relieves all related notes, derivatives and debt discounts and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.

Business combinations

The Company accounts for its business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting as indicated in ASC No. 805, “Business Combinations”, which requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and establishes the acquisition date as the fair value measurement point. Accordingly, the Company recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, including contingent assets and liabilities and non-controlling interest in the acquiree, based on fair value estimates as of the date of acquisition.

Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes amounts resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in such fair values are adjusted against the cost of acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments (see below). The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is re-measured at subsequent reporting dates at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in statement of operations.

The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the group obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, resulting in a final valuation, and is subject to a maximum of one year from acquisition date.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In accordance with ASC No. 805, the Company recognizes and measures goodwill, if any, as of the acquisition date, as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over such lives and reviewed for impairment if impairment indicators arise. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the group’s reporting units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Reporting units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss calculated as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value is recorded to goodwill but cannot exceed the goodwill amount. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period. On disposal of a subsidiary or the relevant reporting unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs related to the sale, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

Discontinued operations

Components of an entity divested or discontinued are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations until the date of divestment or discontinuation. For periods prior to the designation as discontinued operations, we reclassify the results of operations to discontinued operations. Gains or losses on divestment or winding up of subsidiaries are stated as the difference between the sales or disposal amount and the carrying amount of the net assets at the time of sale or winding up plus sales or winding up costs.

The assets and liabilities for business components meeting the criteria for discontinued operations are reclassified and presented separately as assets of discontinued operations and liabilities relating to discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The change in presentation for discontinued operations does not have any impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We combine the cash flows and assets and liabilities attributable to discontinued operations with the respective cash flows and assets and liabilities from continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), that affects the timing of when certain types of revenue will be recognized.

Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring services promised in a contract to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. A single contract could include one or multiple performance obligations. For those contracts that have multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price, which is determined based on the Company´s overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors. Performance obligations in the Company´s contracts generally include general due diligence, assistance in designing client’s capitalization strategy, introductions to potential capital funding sources and arranging third party insurance policies.

Revenue is recognized by evaluating our revenue contracts with customers based on the five-step model under ASC 606:

	1.	Identify the contract with the customer;
	2.	Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
	3.	Determine the transaction price;
	4.	Allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations; and
	5.	Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company generates its revenue from continuing operations by providing following services:

	a)	Business consulting services including advisory services to various clients.
	b)	Earning commissions from insurance companies on insurance policy sales and renewals, which are based on a percentage of the insurance products sold.

Most of the Company´s business consultancy and advisory services contracts are based on a combination of both fixed fee arrangements and performance based or contingent arrangement. In addition, the Company generates initial and trail commissions by acting as a broker of third-party lump sum or single premium insurance policies and regular premium investment or insurance policies. Fees from clients for advisory and consulting services are dependent on the extent and value of the services provided. The Company recognizes revenue when the promised services are rendered to the customer in the amount that best reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services.

In fixed-fee billing arrangements, the Company agrees to a pre-established fee in exchange for a predetermined set of professional services. The Company sets the fees based on its estimates of the costs and timing for completing the engagements. The Company generally recognizes revenues under fixed fee billing arrangements using the input method, which is based on work completed to date versus the Company´s estimates of the total services to be provided under the engagement.

Performance based or contingent arrangements represent forms of variable consideration. In these arrangements, the Company´s fees are linked to the attainment of contractually defined objectives with its clients. These arrangements include conditional payments, commonly referred to as cash success fees and/or equity success fees. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations for these services over time as the related contractual objectives are met. The Company determines the transaction price based on the expected probability of achieving the agreed upon outcome and recognizes revenue earned to date by applying the input method.

Reimbursable expenses, including those relating to travel, out-of-pocket expenses, outside consultants and other outside service costs, are generally included in revenues, and an equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses is included in costs of services in the period in which the expense is incurred.

The payment terms and conditions in the Company´s customer contracts vary. Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recognized as either accrued accounts receivable, an asset or deferred revenues, a liability. Revenues recognized for services performed but not yet billed to clients are recorded as accrued accounts receivable. Client pre-payments and retainers are classified as deferred revenues and recognized over future periods as earned in accordance with the applicable engagement agreement.

We receive consideration in the form of cash and/or securities. We measure securities received at fair value on the date of receipt. If securities are received in advance of completion of our services, the fair value will be recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue as the services are completed.

Share-based payments

Under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, the Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments to employees, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants at their fair value on the grant date, which is based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” whereby share based payment awards issued to non-employees will be treated the same as for employees. The guidance has been applied using the modified prospective method which may result in a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings on the adoption date. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment.

Share based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes pricing model.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2019 and 2018

When computing fair value, the Company considered the following variables:

	●	The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the share-based payment in effect at the time of the grant.
	●	The expected term is developed by management estimate.
	●	The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the near future.
	●	The expected volatility is based on management estimates which are based upon our historical volatility.
	●	The forfeiture rate is based on historical experience.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the carrying amount of deferred income tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.

On November 15, 2010, the date of the reverse recapitalization, the Company became subject to U.S. federal and the state of Nevada income taxes. The Company files an unconsolidated income tax return to the tax authorities in U.S.

On December 22, 2017, the United States signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), a tax reform bill, which, among other items, reduces the current federal income tax rate to 21% from 34%. The rate reduction is effective January 1, 2018 and is permanent. The Act has caused the Company’s deferred income taxes to be revalued as of December 31, 2017. As changes in tax laws are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through income tax expense. Pursuant to the guidance within SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized the provisional effects of the enactment of the Act for which measurement could be reasonably estimated. The ultimate impact of the Act may differ from these estimates due to the Company’s continued analysis or further regulatory guidance that may be issued as a result of the Act.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company will record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no penalties or interest related to income tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company may be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and state taxing authorities for the 2017, 2018 and 2019 tax years.

The Company’s two subsidiaries, Global Equity Partners Plc. (sold and ceased to be a subsidiary on June 5, 2017) and GEP Equity Holdings Limited, were incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles (“Seychelles”). A company is only subject to Seychelles income tax if it does business in Seychelles. A company that is incorporated in Seychelles, but that does not do business in Seychelles, is not subject to income tax there. None of these two subsidiaries did business in Seychelles for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and do not intend to do business in Seychelles in the future. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to income tax in Seychelles for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. All business activities were performed by GEP Equity Holdings Limited in Dubai for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Dubai does not have an income tax. Regarding UK subsidiaries, Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited, was incorporated under the laws of England and Wales on December 12, 2017. There was no business transacted from this subsidiary during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 as it is just a holding company for UK subsidiaries, hence there is no income tax impact during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Cheshire Trafford UK Limited was acquired, through Argentum 47 Financial Management Limited, on August 1, 2018 and is subject to the laws of the United Kingdom. Under the Corporation Tax Act, 2010 as applicable in the United Kingdom, income tax is to be calculated based on 19% of the taxable income.

Earnings per Share

The basic net earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.

As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had common stock equivalents of 363,755,756 and 94,401,975 common shares, respectively, in the form of convertible notes, which, if converted, may be dilutive. See Note 9(E and F).

As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had common stock equivalents of 770,000,000 common shares, in the form of convertible preferred stock, which, if converted, may be dilutive. See Note 10(A).

	Number of Common Shares

Weighted average number of common shares – Dilutive		1,706,934,261		1,389,936,384

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, diluted weighted average number of common shares exceeds total authorized common shares. However, 770,000,000 common shares would result from the conversion of the preferred “B” and preferred “C” stock into common stock. The option to convert the abovementioned preferred “B” and “C” stock into common stock could not be any earlier than September 27, 2020.

Comprehensive Income / (Loss)

The Comprehensive Income Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019, includes only foreign currency translation gain / (loss), and is presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss). Pursuant to ASU 2016-01, the Company reclassified the opening balance of unrealized gain on available for sale marketable securities from other comprehensive income to retained earnings as a cumulative effect adjustment as at January 1, 2018.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

	●	Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

	●	Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

	●	Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accounts payable to related parties, loans payable to related parties and notes payable, approximate fair value are based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

December 31, 2019 and 2018

The Company measures its derivative liabilities and marketable securities at fair market value on a recurring basis and measures its non-marketable securities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Consequently, the Company may have gains and losses reported in the statement of operations.

The following is the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2019 and 2018, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

	December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Level 1 – Marketable Securities – Recurring	$	204,239	$	-
Level 2 – Marketable Securities – Recurring	$	-	$	1,458,848

Management analyzed the historical volume and the variation in the price that the marketable securities were bought and sold at during the year 2018 and 2019 and has concluded that the level 2 and level 1 valuation respectively, regarding the fair value of the marketable securities should be $0.25 per share as at December 31, 2018 and $0.035 per share as at December 31, 2019.

Marketable Securities — The Level 1 position consists of the Company’s investment in equity securities of stock held in publicly traded companies. The valuation of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets.

Changes in Level 1 or Level 2 marketable securities measured at fair value for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Balance, December 31, 2017	$	2,029,340
Securities transferred from long term investments valued at cost		136

Non-Marketable Securities at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis — Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The level 3 position consist of investments accounted for under the cost method. The Level 3 position consists of investments in equity securities held in private companies.

Management believes that an “other-than-temporary impairment” would be justified, as according to ASC 320-10 an investment is considered impaired when the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost basis. The impairment is considered either temporary or other-than-temporary. The accounting literature does not define other-than-temporary. It does, however, state that other-than-temporary does not mean permanent, although, all permanent impairments are considered other-than-temporary. The literature does provide some examples of factors, which may be indicative of an “other-than-temporary impairment”, such as:

	●	the length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost;
	●	the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and
	●	the intent and ability of the holder to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

Note 5 – Acquisition of Cheshire Trafford (U.K.) Limited

On August 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Cheshire Trafford (UK) Limited (“Cheshire Trafford”) pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated as of August 1, 2018 and acquired 100% of the ordinary shares of Cheshire Trafford.

Cheshire Trafford acts as a broker for the sale of Lump Sum or Single Premium Insurance Policies and Regular Premium Investment or Insurance Policies that are issued by reputable third-party insurance companies.

The purchase consideration for the acquisition of Cheshire Trafford is based on a formula of 2.7 times Cheshire Trafford’s projected annual recurring revenues for the calendar year ending December 31, 2018. We took the gross revenues of Cheshire Trafford for the five months ended May 31, 2018 and annualized those recurring revenues and multiplied those revenues by 2.7 times in arriving at the contractual purchase consideration of $516,795. The purchase consideration is payable in following three installments:

	●	The first installment of $175,710 has been paid upon closing of the transaction.
	●	The second installment of $170,542 is due 18 months after the acquisition date which is February 1, 2020. Management is currently in negotiation with the seller about a possible reduction in the second instalment per the terms of the acquisition agreement.
	●	\|The third installment of $170,542 is due 36 months after the acquisition date.

The second and third installments could be reduced (but not increased) in the event that Cheshire Trafford’s trailing or recurring revenues are less than agreed recurring income target of GBP 144,185 during the 12-month period commencing on the Acquisition date; hence these two installments are treated as contingent purchase consideration. Based on the historical data available regarding the recurring/trail revenues of Cheshire Trafford, Management believes that there is a 95% probability that Cheshire Trafford will achieve the recurring income target of GBP 144,185 during the 12-month period ending on July 31, 2019. Hence, the contingent purchase consideration is adjusted to take into account this probability factor.

December 31, 2019 and 2018

To calculate the fair value of the contingent purchase consideration, our Management has discounted the remaining two installments of $341,084 to be paid, at a discount rate of 6% (our borrowing rate for the purpose of acquisitions) to arrive at the present value of $284,298 at the acquisition date. Total fair value of the purchase consideration is as follows:

	Fair Value
Cash payment	$	175,710
Fair value of contingent consideration		284,298
Total Fair Value of Purchase Consideration	$	460,008

Below table depicts the allocation of fair value of the purchase consideration to the fair value of the net assets of Cheshire Trafford at the acquisition date:

Assets acquired	Fair Value
Cash	$	4,743
Accounts receivable – net		6,555
Intangibles – customer list		342,194
Goodwill		142,924
Property and equipment, net		614
		497,030
Liabilities assumed
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		4,012
Due to director of Cheshire Trafford		33,010
		(37,022	)
Purchase consideration allocated	$	460,008

This acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their initial estimated acquisition date fair values. During the purchase price measurement period, which may be one year from the business acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on completion of valuations.

The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed was initially recognized as the fair value of customer list intangible asset totaling to $485,118. Upon finalizing the fair value of customer list intangible based on the Multi Period Excess Earnings Model, Management believed that fair value of the customer list intangible asset amounted to $342,194 and the remaining $142,924 is recognized as goodwill as at December 31, 2018. This intangible asset is amortized on a straight line basis over a life of 15 years which is the average service duration of a customer that has invested with Cheshire Trafford.

Estimated life of intangibles	15 years

As at December 31, 2019, the management recalculated the third installment of the purchase price consideration as the recurring income period of 12 months ended on July 31, 2019 based upon the terms of the purchase agreement. Accordingly, the fair value of contingent acquisition payable was reduced, and the Company recorded a gain on revaluation of payable for acquisition of $67,897 in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Note 6 – Discontinued Operations

On June 5, 2017, after receipt of $167,500 from Mammoth Corporation (New Lender), St. George (Previous Lender) assigned and transferred to the Mammoth Corporation all of its rights, title and interest in and to the promissory note initially issued by the Company to St. George Investments LLC for $167,500 dated December 6, 2016. The Company re-negotiated the loan terms with new lender (Mammoth Corporation) after the above assignment and issued a restated 9 months fixed price convertible promissory note amounting to $184,250 dated June 5, 2017. The terms of this exchanged note were a one-time 10% increase in the principal loan of $16,750, increasing the principal sum from $167,500 to $184,250. The new lender also has a right, at any time after the issue date of the revised note until the outstanding balance has been paid in full, to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into common shares of the Company at a fixed conversion price of $0.012. Fair value of the Company´s stock as on the date of the note was $0.0071. Hence, there was no beneficial conversion feature (BCF) of the Note, as the agreed conversion price is higher than the fair value of the Company´s stock as on June 5, 2017. The Company accounted for this exchange as a debt extinguishment of previous note dated December 6, 2016 and $16,750 was recognized as loss on debt extinguishment.

		On December 4, 2017, the Company re-negotiated the loan terms and entered into a rider agreement with the noteholder. The terms of this rider agreement were a one-time 35% increase in the principal loan of $64,487, increasing the principal sum from $184,250 to $248,737. In addition, both parties also agreed to re-negotiate the loan terms of another note dated August 9, 2017 with a one-time 35% increase in the principal loan of $19,775, increasing the principal sum from $56,500 to $76,275. This rider agreement further consolidated the revised principal note balances of the two notes into a single payable of $325,012. The Company agreed a monthly repayment plan of six installments of $54,168 commencing from January 15, 2018 and ending on June 15, 2018. The noteholder agreed to suspend the conversion of the notes if the company continue to repay all six installments as per the revised payment plan. The Company accounted for this one-time increase on both notes amounting to $64,487 and $19,775 as a loss on debt extinguishment. As of December 31, 2017, the outstanding balance amounted to $248,737 and $73,386, net of $2,889 discount, against the two notes dated June 5, 2017 and August 9, 2017, respectively.

		During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company fully repaid the six installments of $54,168 each, thereby leaving an outstanding principal loan balance of $0 as on December 31, 2018.

	●	On August 9, 2017, the Company secured a 9 months fixed price convertible loan for $56,500 (see amendment discussed in above paragraph) carrying an original issue discount of $6,500. Interest will not be accrued on the outstanding principal balance unless an event of default occurs. The lender has a right, at any time after the issue date of the note until the outstanding balance has been paid in full, to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into common shares of the Company at a fixed conversion price of $0.012 subject to change based on certain default provisions as defined in the Note. Fair value of the Company´s stock as on the date of issuance of this note was $0.0045.

	●	On November 15, 2017, the Company secured a 9-month convertible loan for $53,000 carrying an original issue discount of $3,000 and an interest at the rate of 12% accrued on the outstanding principal balance.

Note 11 – Revenue

For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized total revenues amounting to $112,080 and $98,613, respectively.

Unfulfilled performance obligations represent the remaining contract transaction prices allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, and therefore revenues have not yet been recorded. Unfulfilled performance obligations primarily consist of the remaining fees not yet recognized under the Company´s proportional performance method for both our fixed fee arrangements, and the portion of performance based and contingent arrangements, which we have deemed probable. As of December 31, 2019 and, 2018, the Company´s management believes that all of the fixed fee, performance based and contingent arrangements have an original expected duration of one year or less; hence, the Company elected to utilize the optional exemption to exclude it from this disclosure.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets are defined as assets for which we have recorded revenue because we determined that it is probable that we will earn a performance based or contingent fee, but we are not yet entitled to receive our fees, because certain events, such as completion of the measurement period or client approval, must occur. The contract asset balance was immaterial as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Contract liabilities are defined as liabilities incurred when we have received consideration from a client but have not yet performed the agreed upon services. This may occur when we receive advance billings before delivery of services when clients pay us up-front fees before we begin work for them. The contract liability balance was immaterial as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The US parent entity´s expenses are funded by the foreign subsidiaries through a management fee, which is, included in the US parent´s unconsolidated US annual income tax return as taxable revenues.

The Company has not recorded deferred income taxes applicable to undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiaries because there are cumulative losses in those subsidiaries through December 31, 2019. In the future, the Company does not intend to record deferred income taxes applicable to undistributed future earnings of the foreign subsidiaries because it is the present intention of management to reinvest the undistributed earnings indefinitely in those foreign subsidiaries.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers that whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. There was no income tax liability for 2018 and no additional net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2019, based upon the levels of historical taxable income and the limited experience of the Company, the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be able to realize the benefits of some or all of these deductible differences. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of approximately $(14,937) has been provided in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019.

At December 31, 2019, the Company had $71,129 of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards that may be carried forward indefinitely.

The Company has not incurred any foreign income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company may be subject to enquiries by the U.K. Taxation authority regarding its U.K. subsidiaries for the 2018 and 2019 tax years. The Company may also be subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and state taxing authorities for the 2017, 2018 and 2019 tax years.
