Prospectus SummaryOur Business Our new business is a services and development business that provides a turnkey set of services for companies to develop and integrate blockchain andcryptocurrency technologies into their business operations. A blockchain is a distributed ledger technology which has the potential to bring significant efficiencies to many applications in a diversity of fields ranging fromglobal supply chains to financial services and beyond. One of the key promises of blockchains is reduced transaction and networking costs by removing the needfor traditional third party intermediaries, such as banks, lawyers, escrow agents, etc. Blockchain is considered a foundational technology. A cryptocurrency is a digital asset – often referred to as a coin or token – that is used as a medium of exchange using cryptography and decentralized control via ablockchain to secure the transaction and to control the creation of additional units of the currency. Not all digital assets qualify as a currency and may be securitiesor other types of assets. Current and future legislations and regulations, including interpretations released by a regulatory authority, may impact the manner inwhich cryptocurrency is viewed or treated for classification and clearing purposes. In particular, cryptocurrency may be deemed securities under federal securitieslaws. We anticipate that we will enable companies to focus on their core competencies while providing the necessary resources and expertise to execute a strategy thatwill enable companies to integrate new blockchain plus cryptocurrency technologies into their business operations. Our plan is to be compensated on a fee-for-services model. We may also accept tokens, coins or equity in payment for our services, including tokens and coins issued by our clients and customers in initialcoin offerings, to the extent permitted under applicable law. Our services include strategic planning, project planning and program management, structure development and administration, business plan modelling, customerdevelopment, including customer discovery and scoping as well as product commercialization and support, technology development and support, whitepaperpreparation, due diligence reporting, governance planning and management. We currently have one client, WENN Digital Inc., a related party to our company, which has engaged us to build out its business model, technology strategy,market entry strategy and capital structure, which includes a blockchain platform launch. While we have several potential clients in our sales pipeline, there can beno assurance that we will engage additional clients. If our sole client, a related party to our company, discontinues its business with us, or if our client modifies theterms of its business with us on less favorable terms, the effect on our business, operating results and financial condition may become adverse. We have not yet established a source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern. We have incurred lossessince inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $693,008 as at December 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016: $225,950). Our ability to operate as a going concernis dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. Our principal offices are located at 4101 Redwood Ave., Building F, Los Angeles, CA 90066. Our telephone number is (424) 570-9446.

Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition toother information in this prospectus in evaluating our company and our business before purchasing our securities. Our business, operating results and financialcondition could be seriously harmed as a result of the occurrence of any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of theserisks. You should invest in our common stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment. General Cryptocurrency Risks Cryptocurrency exchanges and other trading venues are relatively new and, in most cases, largely unregulated and may therefore be subject to fraud andfailures. When cryptocurrency exchanges or other trading venues are involved in fraud or experience security failures or other operational issues, such events could result ina reduction in cryptocurrency prices or confidence and impact our success and have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or topursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and operations.
4
Cryptocurrency market prices depend, directly or indirectly, on the prices set on exchanges and other trading venues, which are new and, in most cases, largelyunregulated as compared to established, regulated exchanges for securities, commodities or currencies. For example, during the past three years, a number ofbitcoin exchanges have closed due to fraud, business failure or security breaches. In many of these instances, the customers of the closed exchanges were notcompensated or made whole for partial or complete losses of their account balances. While smaller exchanges are less likely to have the infrastructure andcapitalization that may provide larger exchanges with some stability, larger exchanges may be more likely to be appealing targets for hackers and “malware” (i.e.,software used or programmed by attackers to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information or gain access to private computer systems) and may bemore likely to be targets of regulatory enforcement action. We do not maintain any insurance to protect from such risks, and do not expect any insurance forcustomer accounts to be available (such as federal deposit insurance) at any time in the future, putting customer accounts at risk from such events. In the event weface fraud, security failures, operational issues or similar events such factors would have a material adverse effect on our ability of to continue as a going concernor to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and operations. Regulatory changes or actions may alter the nature of an investment in us or restrict the use of cryptocurrencies in a manner that adversely affects ourbusiness, prospects or operations. As cryptocurrencies have grown in both popularity and market size, governments around the world have reacted differently to cryptocurrencies, with certaingovernments deeming them illegal while others have allowed their use and trade. Governments may in the future curtail or outlaw the acquisition, use or redemption of cryptocurrencies. Ownership of, holding or trading in cryptocurrencies maythen be considered illegal and subject to sanction. Governments may also take regulatory action that may increase the cost and/or subject cryptocurrencycompanies to additional regulation. The effect of any future regulatory change on our business or any cryptocurrency that may impact our business is impossible topredict, but such change could be substantial and would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and operations. To date, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” ) has released statements that state that the United States would, in some circumstances, considerthe offer and sale of blockchain tokens pursuant to an initial coin offering (an “ICO” ) subject to federal securities laws. China has released statements and takensimilar actions. Canada has also released a notice which indicated that the Canadian Securities Administrators would, in some circumstances, consider the offerand sale of blockchain tokens pursuant to an ICO subject to Canadian securities laws. Although we do not participate in ICOs, our clients and customers mayparticipate in ICOs, and we may receive a portion of the tokens or coins issued by our clients and customers in ICOs as payment for our services, and these actionsmay be a prelude to further action which chills widespread acceptance of blockchain and cryptocurrency adoption and have a material adverse effect on our abilityto continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations. Governments may in the future take regulatory actions that prohibit or severely restrict the right to acquire, own, hold, sell, use or trade cryptocurrencies or toexchange cryptocurrencies for fiat currency. Similar actions by governments or regulatory bodies could result in restriction of the acquisition, ownership, holding,selling, use or trading in our securities. Such a restriction could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue thissegment at all, raise new capital which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and harm investors in our securities. On-going and future regulatory actions and regulatory change related to our business or cryptocurrencies, may impact our ability to continue to operate and suchactions could affect our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business,prospects or operations.

The development and acceptance of cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the issuance of and transactions in cryptocurrencies is subject to avariety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The use of cryptocurrencies to, among other things, buy and sell goods and services and complete transactions, is part of a new and rapidly evolving industry thatemploys digital assets based upon a computer-generated mathematical and/or cryptographic protocol. The growth of this industry in general, and the use ofcryptocurrencies in particular, is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and the slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of developing protocols mayoccur and is unpredictable. The factors include, but are not limited to: ● Continued worldwide growth in the adoption and use of cryptocurrencies; ● Governmental and quasi-governmental regulation of cryptocurrencies and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of the
network or similar cryptocurrency systems; ● Changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences; ● The maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of the network; ● The availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services, including new means of using fiat currencies; ● General economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to digital assets; and ● Negative consumer sentiment and perception of bitcoin specifically and cryptocurrencies generally. Such events would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a materialadverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account andharm investors in our securities. Banks and financial institutions may not provide banking services , or may cut off services , to businesses that provide cryptocurrency-related services or thataccept cryptocurrencies as payment, including financial institutions of investors in our securities. A number of companies that provide bitcoin and/or other cryptocurrency-related services have been unable to find banks or financial institutions that are willing toprovide them with bank accounts and other services . Similarly, a number of companies and individuals or businesses associated with cryptocurrencies may havehad and may continue to have their existing bank accounts closed or services discontinued with financial institutions. We also may be unable to obtain or maintainthese services for our business. The difficulty that many businesses that provide bitcoin and/or other cryptocurrency-related services have and may continue tohave in finding banks and financial institutions willing to provide them services may be decreasing the usefulness of cryptocurrencies as a payment system andharming public perception of cryptocurrencies and could decrease its usefulness and harm its public perception in the future. Similarly, the usefulness ofcryptocurrencies as a payment system and the public perception of cryptocurrencies could be damaged if banks or financial institutions were to close the accountsof businesses providing bitcoin and/or other cryptocurrency-related services . This could occur as a result of compliance risk, cost, government regulation or publicpressure. The risk applies to securities firms, clearance and settlement firms, national stock and commodities exchanges, the over the counter market and theDepository Trust Company, which, if any of such entities adopts or implements similar policies, rules or regulations, could result in the inability of our investors toopen or maintain stock or commodities accounts, including the ability to deposit, maintain or trade our securities. Such factors would have a material adverse effecton our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operationsand harm investors.
The impact of geopolitical events on the supply and demand for cryptocurrencies is uncertain. Crises may motivate large-scale purchases of cryptocurrencies which could increase the price of cryptocurrencies rapidly. This may increase the likelihood of asubsequent price decrease as crisis-driven purchasing behavior wanes, adversely affecting the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for ourown account. Such risks are similar to the risks of purchasing commodities in general uncertain times, such as the risk of purchasing, holding or selling gold.
6
As an alternative to gold or fiat currencies that are backed by central governments, cryptocurrencies, which are relatively new, are subject to supply and demandforces. How such supply and demand will be impacted by geopolitical events is uncertain but could be harmful to us and investors in our securities. Nevertheless,political or economic crises may motivate large-scale acquisitions or sales of cryptocurrencies either globally or locally. Such events would have a material adverseeffect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects oroperations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account. Acceptance and/or widespread use of cryptocurrency is uncertain. Currently, there is a relatively small use of bitcoins and/or other cryptocurrencies in the retail and commercial marketplace for goods or services . In comparisonthere is relatively large use by speculators contributing to price volatility. The relative lack of acceptance of cryptocurrencies in the retail and commercial marketplace limits the ability of end-users to use them to pay for goods andservices . Such lack of acceptance or decline in acceptances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue thissegment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold orexpect to acquire for our own account.
Political or economic crises may motivate large-scale sales of Bitcoins and Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies, which could result in a reduction in value andadversely affect us. As an alternative to fiat currencies that are backed by central governments, digital assets such as bitcoins and Ethereum, which are relatively new, are subject tosupply and demand forces based upon the desirability of an alternative, decentralized means of buying and selling goods and services, and it is unclear how suchsupply and demand will be impacted by geopolitical events. Nevertheless, political or economic crises may motivate large-scale acquisitions or sales of bitcoinsand Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies either globally or locally. Large-scale sales of bitcoins and Ethereum or other cryptocurrencies would result in areduction in their value and could adversely affect us. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or topursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies wehold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors. It may be illegal now, or in the future, to acquire, own, hold, sell or use bitcoins, Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies, participate in the blockchain or utilizesimilar digital assets in one or more countries, the ruling of which would adversely affect us. One or more countries such as China and Russia may take regulatory actions in the future that could severely restrict the right to acquire, own, hold, sell or usecryptocurrencies or the blockchain or digital assets or to exchange these digital assets for fiat currency. Such restrictions may adversely affect us. Suchcircumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a materialadverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account andharm investors.
7
If regulatory changes or interpretations require the regulation of bitcoins or other digital assets under the securities laws of the United States or elsewhere,including the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 or similar laws of other jurisdictions andinterpretations by the SEC, CFTC, IRS, Department of Treasury or other agencies or authorities, we may be required to register and comply with suchregulations, including at a state or local level. To the extent that we decide to continue operations, the required registrations and regulatory compliance stepsmay result in extraordinary expense or burdens to us. We may also decide to cease certain operations. Any disruption of our operations in response to thechanged regulatory circumstances may be at a time that is disadvantageous to us. Current and future legislation and SEC rulemaking and other regulatory developments, including interpretations released by a regulatory authority, may impact themanner in which bitcoins or other cryptocurrency is viewed or treated for classification and clearing purposes. In particular, bitcoins and other cryptocurrency maynot be excluded from the definition of “security” by SEC rulemaking or interpretation requiring registration of all transactions, unless another exemption isavailable, including transacting in bitcoin or cryptocurrency amongst owners and require registration of trading platforms as “exchanges” such as Coinsquare. Wecannot be certain as to how future regulatory developments will impact the treatment of bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies under the law. If we determine not tocomply with such additional regulatory and registration requirements, we may seek to cease certain of our operations or be subjected to fines, penalties and othergovernmental action. Any such action may adversely affect an investment in us. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continueas a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value ofany cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors.
Lack of liquid markets, and possible manipulation of blockchain/cryptocurrency based assets may adversely affect us. Digital assets that are represented and trade on a ledger-based platform may not necessarily benefit from viable trading markets. Stock exchanges have listingrequirements and vet issuers, requiring them to be subjected to rigorous listing standards and rules and monitoring investors transacting on such platform for fraudand other improprieties. These conditions may not necessarily be replicated on a distributed ledger platform, depending on the platform’s controls and otherpolicies. The more lax a distributed ledger platform is about vetting issuers of digital assets or users that transact on the platform, the higher the potential risk forfraud or the manipulation of digital assets. These factors may decrease liquidity or volume, or increase volatility of digital securities or other assets trading on aledger-based system, which may adversely affect us. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or topursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies wehold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors. Risks Related to Our Business We have an evolving business model. As digital assets and blockchain technologies become more widely available, we expect the services and products associated with them to evolve. As a result, tostay current with the industry, our business model may need to evolve as well. From time to time, we may modify aspects of our business model relating to ourproduct mix and service offerings. We cannot offer any assurance that these or any other modifications will be successful or will not result in harm to the business.We may not be able to manage growth effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth and negatively affect our operating results. In addition, weintend to spend between $500,000 and $1,000,000 on various expenses to assist client companies to develop and integrate blockchain and cryptocurrencytechnologies into their business operations. These expenses that we incur are risk capital and can only be recovered by us if the applicable clients can successfullylaunch their businesses. Therefore, we risk losing substantial amounts of capital in the event any of our clients do not successfully launch their businesses. Suchcircumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a materialadverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account andharm investors.

The loss or potential loss of our exclusion from regulation pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Company Act of 1940, theInvestment Advisors Act of 1940 or any related state exemptions, could require us to restructure our operations. The SEC heavily regulates the manner in which “investment companies,” “investment advisors,” and “broker-dealers” are permitted to conduct their businessactivities. We believe we will conduct our business in a manner that does not result in us being characterized as an investment company, an investment advisor or abroker-dealer, as we do not believe that we will engage in any of the activities that require registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the InvestmentCompany Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or any similar provisions under state law. We intend to continue to conduct our business in suchmanner. If, however, we are deemed to be an investment company, an investment advisor, or a broker-dealer, we may be required to institute burdensomecompliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which would affect our business to a material degree. The loss or potential loss of our exclusion fromregulation pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or any related stateexemptions, could require us to restructure our operations, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, weare determined to have engaged in activities that require any such registration, without obtaining such registration, we could be subject to civil and/or criminalliability, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Cryptocurrency inventory, including that maintained by or for us, may be exposed to cybersecurity threats and hacks. As with any computer code generally, flaws in cryptocurrency codes may be exposed by malicious actors. Several errors and defects have been found previously,including those that disabled some functionality for users and exposed users’ information. Flaws in and exploitations of the source code allow malicious actors totake or create money have previously occurred. To date, several hackings have become public knowledge whereby hackers have exploited security vulnerabilitiesin computer code used by cryptocurrency exchanges, digital wallets and companies that hold cryptocurrency to steal the equivalent of hundreds of millions ofdollars based on current exchange rates. Such events would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment atall, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect toacquire for our own account. Competing blockchain platforms and technologies may adversely affect our business. The development and acceptance of competing blockchain platforms or technologies may cause consumers to use alternative distributed ledgers or an alternative todistributed ledgers altogether. This may adversely affect us and our exposure to various blockchain technologies. Such circumstances would have a materialadverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospectsor operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors. Competition in our market could harm our business. Many of our current and potential competitors may have greater brand recognition, longer operating histories, larger customer bases and significantly greaterfinancial, marketing and other resources than we do. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on product development, marketing anddistribution. This advantage could enable our competitors to acquire larger market share and develop and offer more competitive products and services. Suchcompetition could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to develop our business plan. In the face of competition, we may not besuccessful in sufficient market share to make our business profitable. The cryptocurrency assets we hold may be subject to loss, theft or restriction on access. There is a risk that some or all of the cryptocurrency assets we hold from time to time could be lost or stolen. Access to the cryptocurrency assets we hold fromtime to time could also be restricted by cybercrime (such as a denial of service attack) against a service at which we maintain a hosted online wallet. Any of theseevents may adversely affect our operations and, consequently, our investments and profitability. The loss or destruction of a private key required to access ourdigital wallets may be irreversible and we may be denied access for all time to our cryptocurrency holdings. Our loss of access to our private keys or ourexperience of a data loss relating to our digital wallets could adversely affect our investments and assets.

Cryptocurrencies are controllable only by the possessor of both the unique public and private keys relating to the local or online digital wallet in which they areheld, which wallet’s public key or address is reflected in the network’s public blockchain. We will publish the public key relating to digital wallets in use when weverify the receipt of transfers and disseminate such information into the network, but we will need to safeguard the private keys relating to such digital wallets. Tothe extent such private keys are lost, destroyed or otherwise compromised, we will be unable to access the cryptocurrency assets we hold from time to time andsuch private keys will not be capable of being restored by any network. Any loss of private keys relating to digital wallets used to store the cryptocurrency assetswe hold from time to time would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have amaterial adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account. Incorrect or fraudulent coin transactions may be irreversible. Cryptocurrency transactions are irrevocable and stolen or incorrectly transferred coins may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed or fraudulent cointransactions could adversely affect our investments and assets. Coin transactions are not, from an administrative perspective, reversible without the consent and active participation of the recipient of the transaction. In theory,cryptocurrency transactions may be reversible with the control or consent of a majority of processing power on the network. Once a transaction has been verifiedand recorded in a block that is added to the blockchain, an incorrect transfer of a coin or a theft of coin generally will not be reversible and we may not be capableof seeking compensation for any such transfer or theft. It is possible that, through computer or human error, or through theft or criminal action, our coins could betransferred in incorrect amounts or to unauthorized third parties, or to uncontrolled accounts. Such events would have a material adverse effect on our ability tocontinue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially thevalue of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account. Since there has been limited precedence set for financial accounting of bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets, it is unclear how we will be required toaccount for digital assets transactions in the future. Since there has been limited precedence set for the financial accounting of digital assets, it is unclear how we will be required to account for digital assettransactions or assets. Furthermore, a change in regulatory or financial accounting standards could result in the necessity to restate our financial statements. Such arestatement could negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operation. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effecton our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operationsand potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors. The current state of capital markets, particularly for small companies, is expected to reduce our ability to obtain the financing necessary to continue ourbusiness. If we cannot raise the funds that we need to operate and expand our new business, we may go out of business and investors may lose their entireinvestment in us. Like other smaller companies, we face difficulties in raising capital for our continued operations and to operate and expand our new business. We may not be ableto raise money through the sale of our equity securities or through borrowing funds on terms we find acceptable. We have had negative cash flows from operations and if we are not able to obtain further financing, our business operations may fail. We had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $28,448 and working capital of $5,203,837 as of March 31, 2018. We anticipate that we will require additionalfinancing while we operate and expand our new business. Further, we anticipate that we will not have sufficient capital to fund our ongoing operations for the nexttwelve months. We would likely secure any additional financing necessary through a private placement of our common stock through a debt financing. There canbe no assurance that any financing will be available to us, or, even if it is, if it will be offered on terms and conditions acceptable to us. Our inability to obtainadditional financing in a sufficient amount when needed and upon terms and conditions acceptable to us, could have a material adverse effect upon us. If additionalfunds are raised by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing or future stockholders will result. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms whenneeded, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate the expansion of our new business. We are currently dependent on one client which is a related party to our company. We currently have one client, WENN Digital Inc., a related party to our company, which has engaged us to build out its business model, technology strategy,market entry strategy and capital structure, which includes a blockchain platform launch. While we have several potential clients in our sales pipeline, there can beno assurance that we will engage additional clients. If our sole client, a related party to our company, discontinues its business with us, or if our client modifies theterms of its business with us on less favorable terms, the effect on our business, operating results and financial condition may become adverse.

Our board of directors is composed of an equal number of independent directors and non-independent directors and our board composition may afford lessprotection to our stockholders than if our board of directors were composed of a majority of independent directors. Our board of directors is comprised of six directors, three of whom are not independent. As a result, there may be a low level of board oversight on ourmanagement and our board of directors may be influenced by the concerns, issues or objectives of management, including the compensation and governanceissues, to a greater extent than would occur with a majority of independent directors. In addition, non-independent directors may make a decision on a merger,change of control or other transactions or actions affecting our company without the consent of an independent director, which may lead to a conflict with theinterest of our stockholders. As a result, our board composition may afford less protection to our stockholders than if our board of directors were composed of amajority of independent directors. Our chief financial officer devotes approximately 50% of his working time to our company. Michael Blum, our chief financial officer, secretary and treasurer, devotes approximately 50% of his working time, or approximately 20 hours per week, to ourcompany. Because Mr. Blum works only part-time, instances may occur where he may not be immediately available to provide solutions to problems or addressconcerns that arise in the course of us conducting our business and thus adversely affect our business. In addition, Mr. Blum can become subject to conflicts ofinterest because he devotes part of his working time to other business endeavors, including consulting relationships with other entities, and have responsibilities tothese other entities. Such conflicts include deciding how much time to devote to our affairs, as well as what business opportunities should be presented to us.Because of these relationships, Mr. Blum could be subject to conflicts of interest. The directors and officers of our company, including Mr. Blum, are aware of the existence of laws governing the accountability of directors and officers forcorporate opportunity and requiring disclosures by the directors and officers of conflicts of interest, and we will rely upon such laws in respect of any directors’and officers’ conflicts of interest or in respect of any breaches of duty by any of our directors and officers. All such conflicts are to be disclosed by such directorsor officers in accordance with applicable laws and the directors and officers are to govern themselves in respect thereof to the best of their ability in accordancewith the obligations imposed upon them by law. Risks Related to Our Common Stock Because our directors and officers control a large percentage of our voting stock, they have the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders. Our directors and officers control approximately 20.34% of our voting stock. As a result, they have the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders,including the election of our directors, the acquisition of assets, and the issuance of securities. Because they control a significant portion of votes, it would be verydifficult for investors to replace our management if the investors disagree with the way our business is being operated. Because the influence by our directors andofficers could result in management making decisions that are in their best interest and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of thevalue of your investment in our common stock. Because we can issue additional shares of common stock, our stockholders may experience dilution in the future. We are authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 20,874,524 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding as of July 17 ,2018. Our board of directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock without consent of our stockholders. Consequently,stockholders may experience dilution in their ownership of our stock in the future. If the outstanding stock options or convertible notes are exercised or converted, then we would be required to issue additional shares of our common stock, whichwill result in dilution to our stockholders’ ownership of our stock. There is currently no established public trading market for our common stock, which makes it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares. There is currently no established public trading market for our common stock. There is a limited public market for our common stock through our quotation on theOTC Pink operated by the OTC Markets Group. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Pink is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading pricesdue to many factors that may be unrelated or have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects. Moreover, the OTC Pink is not a stock exchange,and trading of securities on the OTC Pink is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a national securities exchange like the NASDAQ or theNYSE. Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of our shares. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock in thefuture.

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on theirshares unless they sell them. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will bemade at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operatingand capital requirements, and other factors the board considers relevant. We may never pay any dividends. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not beable to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock is restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell ourstock. Our stock is a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined inRule 15g-9) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stockrules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. Theterm “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annualincome exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock nototherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocksand the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the pennystock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stockheld in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customerorally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, thepenny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special writtendetermination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosurerequirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules.Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investorinterest in and limit the marketability of our common stock. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock. In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ( “FINRA” ) has adopted rules that require that inrecommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior torecommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about thecustomer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a highprobability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers torecommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

Insome cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “intend”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”,“predict”, “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known andunknown risks, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors”, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our company’s or our industry’s actualresults, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levelsof activity or performance.

The selling stockholders identified in this prospectus may offer and sell up to 1,020,000 shares of our common stock, up to 325,000 shares of our common stockthat may be issued upon conversion of convertible notes and up to 4,556,823 shares of our common stock issued upon conversion of subscription receipts. Theshares of our common stock, convertible notes and subscription receipts were acquired by the selling stockholders directly from us in private placements that wereexempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. October 30, 2017 Private Placement On October 30, 2017, we entered into private placement subscription agreements, whereby we issued unsecured convertible notes to two subscribers in theaggregate principal amount of $325,000 and agreed to pay interest on the balance of the principal amount at the rate of 10.0% per annum. The principal amount ofthe convertible notes and the interest is payable in full on October 30, 2020. The principal amount, plus any interest accrued thereon, may be converted into sharesof our common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share. We issued the convertible notes to two non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S ofthe Securities Act of 1933 , as amended) in an offshore transaction in which we relied on the exemptions from the registration requirements provided for inRegulation S and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended. 325,000 of the shares issuable upon conversion of these convertible notes are being offered pursuant to this prospectus by these two subscribers. On October 30, 2017, we issued an aggregate of 5,600,000 shares of common stock to 35 subscribers for total consideration of $560,000. Of the 5,600,000 sharesof our common stock we issued: (i) 1,150,000 shares pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended provided bySection 4(a)(2), Section 4(a)(6) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended to 5 investors who were “accreditedinvestors” within the respective meanings ascribed to that term in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended; and (ii) 4,450,000shares to 30 non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended) in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation Sand/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended. 1,020,000 of these 5,600,000 shares are being offered pursuant to this prospectus by 34 of these 35 subscribers. March 2018 Private Placements On March 12 and 19, 2018, we completed private placements of an aggregate of 9,113,659 subscription receipts at a price of $0.60 per subscription receipt foraggregate gross proceeds of $5,468,195.40. On May 31, 2018, upon the occurrence of the escrow release condition (as defined below), each subscription receiptwas automatically converted into one share of our common stock, for no additional consideration. The subscription amounts were held by an escrow agent until theescrow release condition. The escrow release condition was the receipt by our company of conditional approval for the listing of the shares of our common stockon a Canadian stock exchange. On May 29, 2018, the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada conditionally approved the listing of the shares of our common stocksubject to our company fulfilling all requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange, including the conditions described below. Because the escrow release conditionwas satisfied prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on May 31, 2018, we delivered a notice to the escrow agent confirming that the escrow release condition hadbeen satisfied. Upon receipt of the notice, the escrow agent released the subscription amounts to our company and each subscription receipt automaticallyconverted into one share of our common stock without payment of any additional consideration. In connection with the closing of the private placements, we paidcash finder’s fees in the aggregate amount of $29,399.97 and we issued 160,865 shares of our common stock at a deemed price of $0.60 per share as the finder’sfee.

Plan of Distribution
Each of the selling stockholders named above and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of his, her or itsshares of our common stock covered hereby on the OTC Markets Group’s OTC Pink or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares ofour common stock are traded or in private transactions. A selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at afixed price of $0.60 per share until shares of our common stock are quoted on the OTC Markets Group’s OTCQB or OTCQX or listed on a Canadian stockexchange or any other stock exchange, and thereafter at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices. A selling stockholdermay use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities: ● ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; ● block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate
the transaction; ● purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; ● an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; ● privately negotiated transactions; ● in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
40
● through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; ● a combination of any such methods of sale; or ● any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, if available, rather than under this prospectus. Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. If the selling stockholders effect such transactionsby selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions inthe form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom theymay act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Such commissions will be in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to thisprospectus, will not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121 and Supplementary Material .01 and SupplementaryMaterial .02 thereto in the case of an agency transaction. The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of theSecurities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of theshares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. To our knowledge, each sellingstockholder does not have any written or oral agreement, arrangement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares of ourcommon stock. Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, they will be subject to the prospectus deliveryrequirements of the Securities Act of 1933 including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant toRule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders have advised us that there is nounderwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders. Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of our common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. Inaddition, in some states, the shares of our common stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption fromthe registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with. Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of our common stock maynot simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior tothe commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and therules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the sellingstockholders or any other person.
Description of Securities
General Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share. We are not authorized to issue any shares ofpreferred stock. As of July 17, 2018, there were 20,874,524 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
41
Voting Rights Our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as otherwiserequired by law, the holders of our common stock possess all voting power. A majority of our outstanding shares entitled to vote, represented in person or byproxy, constitute a quorum at a meeting of our stockholders. If a quorum exists, a majority vote of those shares present and voting at a duly organized meeting willsuffice to defeat or enact any proposal unless the statutes of the State of Nevada, our articles of incorporation or bylaws require a greater-than-majority vote, inwhich event the higher vote will be required for the action to constitute the action of our company. Unless otherwise provided in our articles of incorporation,directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting of our stockholders at which a quorum is present. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders may be taken without a meeting if one or more written consents, setting forth theaction so taken, is signed by our stockholders holding a majority of the shares entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof, unless a supermajority voteis required by our bylaws in which case a “supermajority” vote will be required. Our board of directors has the power to amend our bylaws unless our stockholders, in adopting, amending or repealing a particular bylaw, provide expressly thatour board of directors may not amend or repeal that bylaw or our bylaw either establishes, amends or deletes a supermajority stockholder quorum or votingrequirement. As a result, our board of directors may be able to change the quorum and voting requirements at a meeting of our stockholders, subject to theapplicable laws and our articles of incorporation and bylaws. Other Rights Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all net assets available for distribution to ourstockholders after payment to creditors. The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive the dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends.Our board of directors is not obligated to declare a dividend. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon,among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent factors. It is notanticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Our common stock is not convertible or redeemable and has no pre-emptive, subscription or conversion rights. There are no conversions, redemption, sinking fundor similar provisions regarding our common stock. Anti-Takeover Provisions Some features of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which are further described below, may have the effect of deterring third parties from making takeover bids forcontrol of our company or may be used to hinder or delay a takeover bid. This would decrease the chance that our stockholders would realize a premium overmarket price for their shares of common stock as a result of a takeover bid. Acquisition of Controlling Interest The Nevada Revised Statutes contain provisions governing the acquisition of a controlling interest of certain Nevada corporations. These provisions providegenerally that any person or entity that acquires in excess of a specified percentage of the outstanding voting shares of a Nevada corporation may be denied votingrights with respect to the acquired shares, unless the holders of a majority of the voting power of the corporation, excluding shares as to which any of suchacquiring person or entity, an officer or a director of the corporation, and an employee of the corporation exercises voting rights, elect to restore such voting rightsin whole or in part. These provisions apply whenever a person or entity acquires shares that, but for the operation of these provisions, would bring voting power ofsuch person or entity in the election of directors within any of the following three ranges: ● 20% or more but less than 33 1/3%; ● 33 1/3% or more but less than or equal to 50%; or ● more than 50%.
42
The stockholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from these provisions through adoption of a provision tothat effect in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exempt our common stock from theseprovisions. These provisions are applicable only to a Nevada corporation, which: ● has 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on the stock ledger of the corporation; and ● does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.
At this time, we do not have 100 stockholders of record who have addresses in Nevada appearing on our stock ledger nor do we conduct any business in Nevada,either directly or through an affiliated corporation. Therefore, we believe that these provisions do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until suchtime as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply to us, these provisions may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring asignificant interest in or control of our company, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our stockholders. Combination with Interested Stockholder The Nevada Revised Statutes contain provisions governing the combination of any Nevada corporation that has 200 or more stockholders of record with aninterested stockholder. As of July 17, 2018, we had approximately 111 stockholders of record. Therefore, we believe that these provisions do not apply to us andwill not until such time as these requirements have been met. At such time as they may apply to us, these provisions may also have effect of delaying or making itmore difficult to effect a change in control of our company. A corporation affected by these provisions may not engage in a combination within three years after the interested stockholder acquires his, her or its shares unlessthe combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. Generally, if approval is not obtained,then after the expiration of the three-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors before the personbecame an interested stockholder or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be received per share bydisinterested stockholders is at least equal to the highest of: ● the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the
combination or within three years immediately before, or in, the transaction in which he, she or it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; ● the market value per share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the person became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher;
or ● if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if any.
Generally, these provisions define an interested stockholder as a person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly of 10% or more of the voting power ofthe outstanding voting shares of a corporation. Generally, these provisions define combination to include any merger or consolidation with an interestedstockholder, or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an interestedstockholder of assets of the corporation having: ● an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation; ● an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or ● representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.

Effective August 17, 2017, we completed a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, AppCoin Innovations Inc., a Nevada corporation, which was incorporatedsolely to effect a change in our name. As a result, we changed our name from “Redstone Literary Agents, Inc.” to “AppCoin Innovations Inc.”. Effective February 14, 2018, we completed a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, ICOX Innovations Inc., a Nevada corporation, which was incorporatedsolely to effect a change in our name.

Recent Developments On October 18, 2017, we entered into a business services agreement with Business Instincts Group Inc. ( “BIG” ), whereby we retained the services of BIG toprovide certain services, including creating, designing and project managing the launching of initial coin offerings for our clients, in consideration for a monthlyfee of $35,000 and a signing bonus of $100,000 payable as follows: (i) $50,000 upon closing of up to $750,000 of equity financing and (ii) $50,000 payable onsigning of the first client agreement. The agreement continues for a two-year term which will automatically be renewed unless: (i) mutually agreed to by BIG andus, or (ii) written notice of non-renewal is provided by the non-renewing party to the other at least 90 days prior to the end of the term. The agreement may beterminated by either party, without cause, at any time upon the provision of 90 days written notice to the other party. Our chairman, Cameron Chell, is a director,officer and an indirect shareholder of BIG. On June 25, 2018, we entered into an amendment agreement to amend the business services agreement with BIG.Pursuant to the amendment agreement, BIG and our company agreed to increase the base fee for BIG’s provision of strategic leadership, analysis, projectmanagement and administrative management to $105,000 per month from $35,000 per month, effective as of June 1, 2018. We also agreed to pay BIG a bonus inthe amount of $280,000 payable on or before June 30, 2018. All other terms of the business services agreement are unaffected and continue in full force and effect. On November 20, 2017, we entered into a loan agreement with WENN Digital Inc. ( “WENN” ) whereby we provided to WENN a loan in the principal amount of$100,000, which was to be loaned to Ryde GmbH (“ Ryde ”) by WENN. The principal amount of the loan bears interest at an annual rate of 7% and matures onNovember 20, 2018. As partial consideration for us agreeing to provide the loan to WENN, WENN agreed to issue to us such number of shares such that we willown 7.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of WENN after the issuance of WENN’s common stock to founding shareholders of WENN. On January 3,2018, WENN fully repaid us the principal amount of the loan with accrued interest, being $100,843.83. On December 29, 2017, we entered into a business services agreement with WENN, on March 19, 2018, we entered into the amendment no. 1 to business servicesagreement dated as of March 15, 2018 with WENN, and, on July 9, 2018, we entered into the amendment no. 2 to business services agreement dated as of July 9,2018 with WENN. Pursuant to the business services agreement, we agreed to provide WENN with the services in connection with WENN’s development of animage rights management and protection platform (the “Platform” ) using blockchain technology, including (i) the business development and technical services,(ii) the business launch services and (iii) the post-business launch support services. WENN was created by combining two substantial, existing businesses, Ryde and The WENN Media Group Limited (“ WENN Media ”). To our knowledge, Rydeand WENN Media have deep big data, blockchain development, copyright legal experience, proven AI-enabled image recognition and a post-licensing platform.We understand that WENN plans to build a sustainable community on the blockchain of the world’s photographers, offering them, among other things: (i) anefficient and cost-effective means to manage, protect and monetize their creative work; (ii) fast and free copyright protection registration; (iii) efficient and fullytransparent accounting reporting; (iv) instant payments; and (v) innovative new revenue streams. The stockholders of WENN currently include us, BlockchainMerchant Group, Inc., Business Instincts Group Inc., Ryde, and WENN Media and, upon the closing of its acquisitions of Ryde and WENN Media, are expected toinclude certain shareholders of those entities. We do not intend to find or make referrals to, or otherwise solicit, or assist in any way in the solicitation of, investors for investment in WENN’s coin offerings, actas a placement agent for the sale of WENN’s coins, or otherwise engage in any activity that would require us to register under Section 15(b) of the SecuritiesExchange Act of 1934, or similar provisions under state law. The business services agreement with WENN provides that the fees for the services provided in connection with the development and launch of the Platform (thebusiness development and technical services and business launch services) were deemed earned on the date of execution of the business services agreement. Wehave waived WENN’s requirement to pay the $250,000 fixed fee in connection with the business development and technical services as a concession. We haverecognized the business development and technical services fee of $500,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017, which WENN paid in January 2018 uponthe completion of its first round of pre-ICO fundraising. The fees for the post-business launch support services (the “Monthly Services” ) are $35,000 per month and they will be due at the beginning of each month inwhich the Monthly Services are performed. With respect to the Monthly Services, we have agreed to provide the Monthly Services for one year commencing onthe date of the Platform Launch (as defined below), after which the business services agreement and the provision of the Monthly Services will automaticallyrenew for a one year period and can be terminated by either our company or WENN with 30 days’ written notice. “Platform Launch” means the publicized productlaunch of the Platform to the general public, including the ability of the general public to use Tokens as the primary means of exchange for transactions on thePlatform.
45
In addition, the business services agreement with WENN provides that the work fee in the amount of $4,175,000 is deemed earned on March 15, 2018 and thework fee is subject to a Renegotiation Obligation (as defined below). The business services agreement with WENN also provides that the additional fee of rights toreceive an aggregate of 20,000,000 Platform tokens or coins (the “Tokens” ) pursuant to a Simple Agreement for Future Tokens is also deemed earned on the dateof execution of the business services agreement and the additional fee is subject to a Renegotiation Obligation. However, for financial reporting purposes, the workfee and additional fee are deemed earned on the date of the launch of the Platform. If WENN does not raise more than $40 million in connection with its offer andsale for cash of (i) one or more Simple Agreements for Future Tokens ( “SAFTs” ), which SAFTs will entitle the holders thereof to receive Tokens under certaincircumstances, and/or, (ii) Tokens, in the event that WENN determines to offer and sell Tokens in lieu of or in addition to SAFTs in connection with its fundraisingefforts (collectively, the “WENN Offering” ), prior to May 31, 2018, we will be required to return the work fees and additional fee to WENN and WENN and ourcompany will be required to negotiate in good faith the amount of each of such fee (such requirement to negotiate is referred to herein as the “RenegotiationObligation” ). The business services agreement will continue for a period of one year unless earlier terminated by either our company or WENN. Either we or WENN may terminate the business services agreement upon the provision of 30 days’ written notice to the other party. If we provide such notice,WENN may immediately terminate the business services agreement and we will be entitled to no further compensation except for any fees earned prior to the dateof the termination. If WENN provides such notice, we may immediately terminate the business services agreement and will be entitled to no further compensation,except for the following lump sum payments: (i) any fees earned to the effective date of termination; and (ii) a lump sum payment of $105,000. For the purpose of determining our fees earned to the date of the termination in the event that either party terminates the business services agreement, all fees forservices in connection with the development and launch of the Platform (the business development and technical services and business launch services) and theadditional fee of rights to receive an aggregate of 20,000,000 Tokens are deemed earned on the date of execution of the business services agreement and the workfee is deemed earned as of March 15, 2018. However, the work fees and additional fee are subject to the Renegotiation Obligation. As such, our work fee andadditional fee are not determinable or deemed collectible for the financial reporting purposes until the WENN Offering is completed or, if applicable, those fees arerenegotiated pursuant to the Renegotiation Obligation. Our chairman and director, Cameron Chell, is a director, officer and an indirect shareholder of Business Instincts Group Inc. which owns 10% of the commonstock of WENN and he is also a director, officer and indirect shareholder of Blockchain Merchant Group, Inc. which owns 2.5% of the common stock of WENNand we own 7.5% of the common stock of WENN. Mr. Chell is also a director, chairman and secretary of WENN. Our president, Bruce Elliott, is a former chiefmarketing officer of WENN. Our first client, WENN, has entered into a licensing partnership agreement with Eastman Kodak Company, which announced the launch of the KODAKOneblockchain platform and KODAKCoin ICO. We are providing the services relating to the KODAKOne blockchain platform and the KODAKCoin ICO pursuant toa business services agreement dated December 29, 2017, as amended as of March 15, 2018 and July 9 , 2018 with WENN. On July 9, 2018, we entered into a loan agreement with WENN whereby we provided to WENN a loan in the principal amount of $750,000. The principal amountof the loan bears interest at the rate of 2% per annum, provided, however, any amounts not paid when due will immediately commence accruing interest at thedefault rate of 10% per annum. The principal amount of the loan, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and any other amounts owning under the loan matureson the earlier of (i) March 9, 2019 and (ii) the closing by WENN of a minimum of $3,000,000 in financings, in the aggregate, whether through the sale ofKodakCoins, equity or otherwise. WENN can prepay all outstanding amounts on 10 days’ notice to our company. As a condition for entering into the loanagreement, Ryde provided a corporate guaranty dated July 9, 2018 to our company, pursuant to which Ryde unconditionally guaranteed and promised to pay ourcompany on demand all amounts that become due from WENN under the loan agreement with WENN and any other amounts that we may in the future loan oradvance to WENN. Also, as a condition for entering into the loan agreement, WENN entered into the amendment no. 2, dated as of July 9, 2018, to the businessservices agreement dated December 29, 2017, as amended as of March 15, 2018, with our company.

Description of Business Overview Our new business is a services and development business that provides a turnkey set of services for companies to develop and integrate blockchain andcryptocurrency technologies into their business operations. A blockchain is a distributed ledger technology which has the potential to bring significant efficiencies to many applications in a diversity of fields ranging fromglobal supply chains to financial services and beyond. One of the key promises of blockchains is reduced transaction and networking costs by removing the needfor traditional third party intermediaries, such as banks, lawyers, escrow agents, etc. Blockchain is considered a foundational technology. A cryptocurrency is a digital asset – often referred to as a coin or token – that is used as a medium of exchange using cryptography and decentralized control via ablockchain to secure the transaction and to control the creation of additional units of the currency. We anticipate that we will enable companies to focus on their core competencies while providing the necessary resources and expertise to execute a strategy thatwill enable companies to integrate new blockchain plus cryptocurrency technologies into their business operations. Our plan is to be compensated on a fee-for-services model. We may also accept tokens, coins or equity in payment for our services, to the extent permitted under applicable law. Our services include strategic planning, project planning and program management, structure development and administration, business plan modelling, customerdevelopment, including customer discovery and scoping as well as product commercialization and support, technology development and support, whitepaperpreparation, due diligence reporting, governance planning and management. Our services are provided by a combination of our management, Business InstinctsGroup Inc. and other external consultants. Most of the services provided by Business Instincts Group Inc. relate to the technical process and execution portion ofour services.

Blockchain Technology Blockchain is a continuously growing list of records called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block contains typically a hash pointeras a link to a previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. By design, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification of the data. Functionally, ablockchain can serve as an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way. For use as adistributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for validating new blocks. Once recorded, thedata in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks and a collusion of the network majority. Blockchains are secure by design and are an example of a distributed computing system and decentralization can be achieved with a blockchain. This makesblockchains potentially suitable for the recording of events, medical records and other records management activities, such as identity management, documentingprovenance, digital asset registration and transaction processing.

Initial Coin Offerings and Cryptocurrency Initial coin offerings are an important new business tool that facilitates the distribution of a cryptocurrency enabling companies to develop communities in supportof their business plans or projects. The community can financially participate in the initial coin offering without the company issuing equity because thecommunity is participating in cryptocurrency via an initial coin offering. By having a structured stake in the company or project, the investors are incentivized toincrease the project’s overall value thereby driving the value of the cryptocurrency issued in the initial coin offering. A cryptocurrency is a digital asset – oftenreferred to as a coin or token – that is used as a medium of exchange using cryptography and decentralized control via a blockchain to secure the transaction and tocontrol the creation of additional units of the currency. We may receive fees from initial coin offering proceeds, in a combination of cash and tokens, coins or equity, to the extent permitted under applicable law. Weintend to hold cryptocurrencies on our balance sheet and to sell them from time to time via regulated trading exchanges, to the extent permitted under applicablelaw.

Many of our current and potential competitors may have greater brand recognition, longer operating histories, larger customer bases and significantly greaterfinancial, marketing and other resources than we do. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on product development, marketing anddistribution. This advantage could enable our competitors to acquire larger market share and develop and offer more competitive products and services. Suchcompetition could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to develop our business plan. In the face of competition, we may not besuccessful in sufficient market share to make our business profitable. Intellectual Property and Technology We do not currently own any intellectual property. We intend to aggressively assert our rights under trade secret, patents, trademark and copyright laws to protectany intellectual property that we create, including product design, product research and concepts and recognized trademarks. These rights may be protected throughthe acquisition of patents and trademark registrations, the maintenance of trade secrets, the development of trade dress, and, where appropriate, litigation againstthose who are, in our opinion, infringing these rights. We may initiate claims or litigation against third parties for infringement of our proprietary rights or to establish the validity of our proprietary rights. In addition,while we are not aware that our services or proprietary rights infringe the proprietary rights of third parties, we may receive notices from third parties asserting thatwe have infringed their patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property rights. Any such claims could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation,cause service stoppages or lead us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements rather than disputing the merits of such claims. An adverse outcome in litigation orsimilar proceedings could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require expenditure of significant resources to develop non-infringing technology,require disputed rights to be licensed from others, or require us to cease operating our business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business,operating results and financial condition. As we have just begun our new business, we have devoted no substantial efforts to research and development within the last two fiscal years.
51
Government Regulation Current and future legislation and rulemaking and other regulatory developments, including interpretations released by a regulatory authority, may impact themanner in which bitcoins or other cryptocurrency is viewed or treated for classification and clearing purposes. In particular, bitcoins and other cryptocurrency maynot be excluded from the definition of “security” by regulatory rulemaking or interpretation requiring registration of all transactions, unless an exemption isavailable, including transacting in bitcoin or cryptocurrency amongst owners, and require registration of trading platforms as “exchanges” such as Coinsquare. Wecannot be certain as to how future regulatory developments will impact the treatment of bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies under the law. If we determine not tocomply with such additional regulatory and registration requirements, we may seek to cease certain of our operations or be subjected to fines, penalties and othergovernmental action. Any such action may adversely affect an investment in us. Such circumstances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continueas a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value ofany cryptocurrencies we hold or expect to acquire for our own account and harm investors. We intend to comply with any applicable anti-money laundering or know your customer rules relating to tokens imposed by the SEC and Canadian securitiesregulators. Investment Company Act of 1940 Considerations We intend to conduct our operations so that we do not fall within, or are excluded from the definition of an “investment company” under the Investment CompanyAct of 1940. Under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, a company is deemed to be an “investment company” if it is, or holds itself out as being,engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. We believe that we will not be considered aninvestment company under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 because we will not engage primarily or hold ourselves out as beingengaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities. Rather, our new business is a services and development business that provides aturnkey set of services for companies to develop and integrate blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies into their business operations. Under Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, a company is deemed to be an “investment company” if it is engaged, or proposes to engage, inthe business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading in securities and owns or proposes to acquire “investment securities” having a value exceeding40% of the value of our company’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. Government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis, which we refer to as the “40%test.” We intend to monitor our holdings and conduct operations so that on an unconsolidated basis we will comply with the 40% test. Nevertheless, because wemay accept tokens, coins or equity in payment for our services, to the extent permitted under applicable law, we may acquire “investment securities” having avalue exceeding 40% of the value of our company’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. In that case,we intend to rely on a safe harbor exemption from the Investment Company Act of 1940 for so-called “transient investment companies.” Consistent with the “transient investment company” safe harbor, we will have to reduce our holdings of “investment securities to not more than 40% of our totalassets as soon as is reasonably possible and in any event within one year from the earlier of (i) the date on which we own securities and/or cash having a valueexceeding 50% of the value of our company’s total assets on either a consolidated or unconsolidated basis or (ii) the date on which we own or propose to acquire“investment securities” having a value exceeding 40% of the value of our company’s total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on anunconsolidated basis. This reduction could be attempted in a number of ways, including the disposition of securities and the acquisition of other assets that wouldnot constitute investment securities for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940. If we are required to sell securities, we may sell them sooner than weotherwise would, the sales may be at depressed prices, and we may never realize anticipated benefits from, or may incur losses on, those investments. We may notbe able to sell some investments due to contractual or legal restrictions or the inability to locate a suitable buyer. We may also incur tax liabilities when we sell ourassets. If we decide to try to acquire additional assets that would not constitute investment securities, we may not be able to identify and acquire suitable assets. Ifthese steps do not achieve a sufficient reduction in our holdings of investment securities within the prescribed period, we will be forced to liquidate some of oursecurities holdings and invest the proceeds in U.S. government securities and cash items, with a potential loss.
52
Because we can rely on the “transient investment company” safe harbor only once during any three-year period, we may not accept tokens, coins or equity inpayment for our services during the period that this safe harbor is not available. If we become obligated to register our company as an investment company, we would have to comply with a variety of substantive requirements under theInvestment Company Act of 1940 imposing, among other things: ● limitations on capital structure; ● restrictions on specified investments; ● prohibitions on transactions with affiliates; and ● compliance with reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy disclosure and other rules and regulations that would significantly change our operations. If we were required to register our company as an investment company but failed to do so, we would be prohibited from engaging in our business, and criminal andcivil actions could be brought against us. In addition, our contracts would be unenforceable unless a court required enforcement, and a court could appoint areceiver to take control of us and liquidate our business, all of which would have a material adverse effect on us. Employees As at July 17 , 2018, we have two executive officers, Bruce Elliott, who is our president, and Michael Blum, who is our chief financial officer, secretary, andtreasurer, and no employees. Our management oversees all responsibilities in the areas of corporate administration, business development, and research. We alsoemploy consultants on an as-needed-basis to provide specific expertise in areas of product design and development and other business functions includingmarketing and accounting. We intend to expand our current management to retain skilled directors, officers, and employees with experience relevant to ourbusiness focus.

On August 17, 2017, the Company changed its name from “RedStone Literary Agents, Inc.” to “AppCoin Innovations Inc.” On February 14, 2018, the Company changed its name from “AppCoin Innovations Inc.” to “ICOX Innovations Inc.” The Company’s new business model provides a turnkey set of services for companies to develop and integrate blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies intotheir business operations.

Going Concern These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and dischargeits liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of$693,008 as of December 31, 2017 and further losses are anticipated in the pursuit of the Company’s new service business opportunity, raising substantial doubtabout the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitableoperations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when theycome due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from directors and/or the privateplacement of common stock. In order to address the above factors, subsequent to year end, the Company completed private placements of an aggregate of 9,113,659 subscription receipts at aprice of $0.60 per subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,468,195.40. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilitiesthat might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAAP ”) in the UnitedStates of America. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reportedamounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts ofrevenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and these differences could be material. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments, such as certificates of deposit or money market funds that are readily convertible toknown amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less. All cash balances are held by major banking institutions. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, short-term loans receivable, trade payables and convertible notes payable approximate theirfair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Contingent Liabilities: The Company accounts for its contingent liabilities in accordance with ASC No. 450 “Contingencies”. A provision is recorded when it is both probable that aliability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. With respect to legal matters, provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legalcounsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company was not a party to any litigation thatcould have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Income Taxes The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporarydifferences). 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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in thefinancial statements. ASC 740 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will besustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Income tax positionsmust meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized. ASC 740 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interestand penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We have determined that the Company does not have uncertain tax positions on its taxreturns for the years 2017 and prior. Based on evaluation of the 2017 transactions and events, the Company does not have any material uncertain tax positions thatrequire measurement. Our policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. We had no accrual for interest or penalties on ourconsolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2017 or 2016, and have not recognized interest and/or penalties in the consolidated statement of operations for theyears ended December 31, 2017 or 2016. We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and the state of California. All of our tax years are subject to examination by the U.S. and California tax authorities due to thecarry-forward of unutilized net operating losses. Collectability of Accounts Receivable In considering the collectability of accounts receivable, the Company takes into account the legal obligation for payment by the customer, as well as the financialcapacity of the customer to fund its obligation to the Company. Earnings per Share The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 105, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and dilutedearnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders bythe weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential commonshares outstanding during the period. Common shares from the conversion of debt (10,730,310 shares) (Note 3) and exercise of stock options (733,331 shares)(Note 7) have been excluded as their effect is anti-dilutive. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has adopted FASB guidance on stock-based compensation. Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, includinggrants of employee stock options, are recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The fair value of the options is calculated based upon theBlack Scholes valuation model. (Note 7) The Company has issued stock options to employees and non-employees. Stock options granted to non-employees for services or performance not yet renderedwould be expensed over the service period or until the goals had been reached. The fair value calculation is recalculated at the end of every reporting period untilthe goal had been reached, when the expense has been wholly recognized. The stock options granted to non-employees during the year ended December 31, 2017were for services already rendered in lieu of cash compensation and, as such, the service period has already passed and the entirety of the expense was recognizedin the year.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) Digital Currency Valuation Digital currencies consist of cryptocurrency denominated assets and are included in current assets. Digital currencies are carried at their fair market valuedetermined by an average spot rate of the most liquid digital currency exchanges. On an interim basis, we recognize decreases in the value of the assets caused bymarket declines. Subsequent increases in the value of these assets through market price recoveries during the same fiscal year are recognized in the later interimperiod, but may not exceed the total previously recognized decreases in value during the same year. Such unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes thevalue of the digital currency are recorded in Other Income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses realized upon sale of digitalcurrencies are also recorded in Other Income, net in the consolidated statement of operations. Fair market value is determined by taking the average spot rate from the most liquid digital currency exchanges. Digital currencies are measured using level onefair values, determined by taking the rate from market currency exchanges. Digital currency prices are affected by various forces including global supply anddemand, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation and the global political and economic conditions. The Company may not be able to liquidate itsinventory of digital currency at its desired price if required. A decline in the market prices for digital currencies could negatively impact the Company’s futureoperations. The digital currency market is still a new market and is highly volatile; historical prices are not necessarily indicative of future value; a significantchange in the market prices for digital currencies would have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings and financial position. The Company did not hold any digital currency at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of anarrangement exists, the related services are rendered or delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. TheCompany has early adopted this policy. The Company primarily generates revenues from professional services consulting agreements. These arrangements are generally entered into on a contingent feebasis. There is no prepayment or retainer required prior to performing services and the entire fees is earned on a contingent basis. The Company also providesmonthly post-business launch support services. The recurring monthly post-business launch support services are recognized as revenue each month that thesubscription is maintained. The Company generally enters into arrangements for which revenues are contingent upon achieving a pre-determined deliverable or future outcome. Anycontingent revenue for these arrangements is not recognized until the contingency is resolved and collectability is reasonably assured. Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recognized as either unbilled revenue (a component of accounts receivable) ordeferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet. Revenues recognized for services performed but not yet billed to clients are recorded as unbilled revenue. Reimbursable expenses, including those relating to travel, other out-of-pocket expenses and any third-party costs, are included as a component of revenues.Typically, an equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses are included in total direct client service costs. Taxes collected from customers and remitted togovernmental authorities are presented in the statement of operations on a net basis.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) Service costs The Company’s policy is to defer direct service costs that relate to the earning of contingent fee revenue. These deferred costs are expensed when the contingentfee revenue is recognized or when the earning the contingent fee revenue is in doubt. Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2016 financial statements in order for them to conform to the 2017 presentation. Such reclassifications have noimpact on the Company’s financial position or results or operations. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Statement of Cash Flows (ASU 2016-15) This update provides specific guidance to clarify how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The updatealso clarifies the application of the predominance principle when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. We will berequired to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on our financial statements. Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement (ASU 2016-01) This update retains the current accounting for classifying and measuring investments in debt securities and loans, but requires equity investments to be measured atfair value with subsequent changes recognized in net income, except for those accounted for under the equity method or requiring consolidation. We will berequired to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2018. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on our financial statements. 3.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which thosetemporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and taxplanning strategies in making this assessment. The returns filed from the year 2014 going-forward are subject to examination by the IRS.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or aid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between marketparticipants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing anasset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a base for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fairvalue: ● Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. ● Level 2: Observable inputs that 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 orcorroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
● Level 3: unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions arerequired to be consistent with market participants assumptions that are reasonably available.
○ Investment in related party
As of December 31, 2017 2016 Investment in related party 37 - The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. 11.

ICOX Innovations Inc.Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As of March 31, 2018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS ICOX Innovations Inc. (formerly AppCoin Innovations Inc., formerly RedStone Literary Agents, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Stateof Nevada on July 20, 2010, with an authorized capital of 75,000,000 common shares, having a par value of $0.001 per share. During the period ended December31, 2010, the Company commenced operations by issuing shares and developing its publishing service business, focused on representing authors to publishers. On February 14, 2018, the Company changed its name from “AppCoin Innovations Inc.” to “ICOX Innovations Inc.” The Company’s new business model provides a turnkey set of services for companies to develop and integrate blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies intotheir business operations. The Company will enable its customers to focus on their core competencies while providing the necessary resources and expertise toexecute a strategy that will enable companies to integrate new blockchain plus cryptocurrency technologies into their business operations. The Company will becompensated on a fee-for-services model. The Company may also accept tokens or coins in payment for its services, to the extent permitted under applicable law. The Company’s services will include strategic planning, project planning, structure development and administration, business plan modeling, technologydevelopment support, whitepaper preparation, due diligence reporting, governance planning and management. Going Concern These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and dischargeits liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of$1,715,526 as of March 31, 2018 and further losses are anticipated in the pursuit of the Company’s new service business opportunity, raising substantial doubtabout the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitableoperations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when theycome due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from directors and/or the privateplacement of common stock. In order to address the above factors, subsequent to year end, the Company completed private placements of an aggregate of 9,113,659 subscription receipts at aprice of $0.60 per subscription receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,468,195. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilitiesthat might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP ”) in the United States of America. Basis of Consolidation The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances havebeen eliminated. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interimfinancial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to Form 10-Q and Article 8 ofRegulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unauditedinterim condensed consolidated financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion ofmanagement, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results forthe full fiscal year. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of theCompany for the year ended December 31, 2017 and notes thereto contained in the information as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which wasfiled with the SEC on April 2, 2018. Use of Estimates The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions thataffect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and thereported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and these differences could be material. Deferred Offering Costs Costs that the Company incurred in relation to the private placement that has not yet closed has been recorded as deferred offering costs on the Condensed BalanceSheet. Once the private placement is closed then these deferred offering costs will be charged to equity as share issue costs. If the private placement does not close,then these costs will be written off during that period. Mezzanine Equity Subscription receipts that have been received by the Company in relation to the private placement that has not yet closed has been recorded as Mezzanine Equityon the Condensed Balance Sheet. These funds are being recorded separately from shareholders’ equity. Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2017 financial statements in order for them to conform to the 2018 presentation. Such reclassifications have noimpact on the Company’s financial position or results or operations.

On April 13, 2018, we entered into a loan agreement with Oceanside Strategies Inc., whereby Oceanside Strategies Inc. advanced $200,000 to us. The principalamount of $200,000 is repayable on demand (but no longer than a term of six month) and bears simple interest at a rate of 12% per annum, which is payable uponrepayment of the principal amount of $200,000. We are entitled to prepay the whole or any portion of the principal amount of $200,000, plus accrued interest onthe portion of the principal amount of $200,000 being prepaid, at any time. The loan agreement provides that we must, within five days of the release of funds to usfrom our private placement of subscription receipts that closed in March 2018, repay the principal amount of $200,000 plus accrued interest in full. The loanagreement also provides that if we obtain any indebtedness on terms that are superior to the terms set forth in the loan agreement, then the terms under the loanagreement will be deemed to be amended, as of April 13, 2018, to match such superior terms in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to suchsuperior terms. Cash Requirements We expect that we will require $5.515 million, including our current working capital, to fund our operating expenditures for the next twelve months. Projectedworking capital requirements for the next twelve months are as follows:
Estimated Working Capital Expenditures During the Next Twelve Months
Operating expenses $ 2,015,000 General and administrative expenses 3,350,000 Estimated costs of the listing on a Canadian stock exchange and related expenses 150,000 Total $ 5,515,000 Estimated operating expenses for the next 12 months are comprised of blockchain platform launch related expenses such as project management and consulting,legal fees, support agents and monitoring expenses, and blockchain and software expenses. We intend to spend between $0.5 million and $1 million on variousexpenses to assist companies to develop and integrate blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies into their business operations. Estimated general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months comprised of: $2,250,000 for consulting fees; $250,000 for legal and professional fees;$180,000 for marketing and advertising expenses; $102,000 for trade shows; $250,000 for travel expenses; $198,000 for office rent; and $120,000 formiscellaneous and office expenses.

Pursuant to a business services agreement dated December 29, 2017, as amended as of March 15, 2018 and July 9, 2018, with our first client, WENN, WENN paidus $500,000 in fees in connection with the services relating to the business launch. See Business – Recent Developments for additional information. We will require additional cash resources, including from the sale of subscription receipts completed in March 2018 to meet our planned capital expenditures andworking capital requirements for the next 12 months. We expect to derive such cash through the sale of subscription receipts completed in March 2018 and, ifadditional cash resources are necessary, through the sale of other equity or debt securities or by obtaining a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securitieswill result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in debt service obligations, could cause additional dilution to our stockholders,and could require us to agree to financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify our plans to source a new business opportunity. Financing may notbe available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Failure to raise additional funds could cause our company to fail.

Our ability to operate as a going concern is dependent on obtaining adequate capital to fundoperating losses until we become profitable. In its report on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, our independent registered public accounting firm included anexplanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include anyadjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financialcondition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

In the event that a claim for indemnificationagainst such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in thesuccessful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, theregistrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the questionwhether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Guidance On Accredited Investor Exemptions for Individuals An individual accredited investor is an individual:
(a) who, either alone or with a spouse, beneficially owns financial assets (please see the guidance below regarding what financial assets are) having anaggregate realizable value that. before taxes but net of any related liabilities (please see the guidance below regarding what related liabilities are), exceeds$1,000,000;
(b) whose net income before taxes exceeded $200,000 in each of the 2 most recent calendar years or whose net income before taxes combined with that of a
spouse exceeded $300,000 in each of the 2 most recent calendar years and who, in either case, reasonably expects to exceed that net income level in thecurrent calendar year;
(c) who, either alone or with a spouse, has net assets (please see the guidance below regarding calculating net assets) of at least $5,000,000; and (d) who beneficially owns financial assets (please see the guidance below regarding what financial assets are) having an aggregate realizable value that,
before taxes but net of any related liabilities (please see the guidance below regarding what related liabilities are), exceeds $5,000,000.
The monetary thresholds above are intended to create bright-line standards. Optionees who do not satisfy these monetary thresholds do not qualify as accreditedinvestors. Spouses Sections (a), (b) and (c) above are designed to treat spouses as a single investing unit, so that either spouse qualifies as an accredited investor if the combinedfinancial assets of both spouses exceed $1,000,000, the combined net income of both spouses exceeds $300,000, or the combined net assets of both spouses exceed$5,000,000. Section (d) above does not treat spouses as a single investing unit. If the combined net income of both spouses does not exceed $300,000, but the net income of one of the spouses exceeds $200,000, only the spouse whose netincome exceeds $200,000 qualifies as an accredited investor. Financial Assets and Related Liabilities For the purposes of Sections (a) and (d) above, “ financial assets ” means: (1) cash, (2) securities, or (3) a contract of insurance, a deposit or an evidence of adeposit that is not a security for the purposes of securities legislation. These financial assets are generally liquid or relatively easy to liquidate. The value of aoptionee’s personal residence is not included in a calculation of financial assets. The calculation of financial assets must exclude “ related liabilities ”, meaning: (1) liabilities incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing the acquisition orownership of financial assets, or (2) liabilities that are secured by financial assets.
C- 6 As a general matter, it should not be difficult to determine whether financial assets are beneficially owned by an individual, an individual’s spouse, or both, in anyparticular instance. However, in the case where financial assets are held in a trust or in another type of investment vehicle for the benefit of an individual, theremay be questions as to whether the individual beneficially owns the financial assets. The following factors are indicative of beneficial ownership of financialassets: ● physical or constructive possession of evidence of ownership of the financial asset; ● entitlement to receipt of any income generated by the financial asset; ● risk of loss of the value of the financial asset; and ● the ability to dispose of the financial asset or otherwise deal with it as the individual sees fit. For example, securities held in a self-directed RRSP for the sole benefit of an individual are beneficially owned by that individual. In general, financial assets in a spousal RRSP can be included for the purposes of the $1,000,000 financial asset test in Section (a) above because Section (a) takesinto account financial assets owned beneficially by a spouse. However, financial assets in a spousal RRSP cannot be included for purposes of the $5,000,000financial asset test in Section (d) above. Financial assets held in a group RRSP under which the individual does not have the ability to acquire the financial assets and deal with them directly do not meetthe beneficial ownership requirements in either Sections (a) or (d) above. Guidance on Close Personal Friend and Close Business Associate Determination A “ close personal friend ” of a director, executive officer, founder or control person of an issuer is an individual who knows the director, executive officer,founder or control person well enough and has known them for a sufficient period of time to be in a position to assess their capabilities and trustworthiness and toobtain information from them with respect to the investment. The following factors are relevant to this determination:
(a) the length of time the individual has known the director, executive officer, founder or control person, (b) the nature of the relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person including such matters as the frequency
of contacts between them and the level of trust and reliance in the other circumstances, and (c) the number of “close personal friends” of the director, executive officer, founder or control person to whom securities have been distributed in reliance on
the private issuer exemption or the family, friends and business associates exemption.
An individual is not a close personal friend solely because the individual is:
(a) a relative, (b) a member of the same club, organization, association or religious group, (c) a co-worker, colleague or associate at the same workplace, (d) a client, customer, former client or former customer, (e) a mere acquaintance, or (f) connected through some form of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
C- 7
The relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person must be direct. For example, the exemption is not available toa close personal friend of a close personal friend of a director of the issuer. Further, a relationship that is primarily founded on participation in an internet forum isnot considered to be that of a close personal friend. A “ close business associate ” is an individual who has had sufficient prior business dealings with a director, executive officer, founder or control person of theissuer to be in a position to assess their capabilities and trustworthiness and to obtain information from them with respect to the investment. The following factors are relevant to this determination:
(a) the length of time the individual has known the director, executive officer, founder or control person, (b) the nature of any specific business relationships between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person, including, for each
relationship, when it began, the frequency of contact between them and when it terminated if it is not ongoing, and the level of trust and reliance in theother circumstances,
(c) the nature and number of any business dealings between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person, the length of the
period during which they occurred, and the nature and date of the most recent business dealing, and (d) the number of “close business associates” of the director, executive officer, founder or control person to whom securities have been distributed in reliance
on the private issuer exemption or the family, friends and business associates exemption.
An individual is not a close business associate solely because the individual is:
(a) a member of the same club, organization, association or religious group, (b) a co-worker, colleague or associate at the same workplace, (c) a client, customer, former client or former customer, (d) a mere acquaintance, or (e) connected through some form of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
The relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person must be direct. For example, the exemptions are not availablefor a close business associate of a close business associate of a director of the issuer. Further, a relationship that is primarily founded on participation in an internetforum is not considered to be that of a close business associate. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to resale restrictions imposed under U.S. securities laws, there are additional restrictions on the Optionee’sability to resell the Securities under Canadian securities laws and National Instrument 45-102 as adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators; The Optionee agrees that the above representations and warranties will be true and correct both as of the execution of this Questionnaire acknowledges that theywill survive the completion of the issue of the Option.

by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorumor (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to the Board, a copy of whichshall be delivered to the Indemnitee; and
(ii) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, (A) if the Indemnitee so requests in writing, by a majority vote of the Disinterested
Directors, even if less than a quorum of the Board or (B) otherwise, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion addressed to theBoard, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee.
The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee against and, if requested by the Indemnitee, shall reimburse the Indemnitee for,or advance to the Indemnitee, within 60 days of such request, any and all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in cooperating with the person orpersons making such Standard of Conduct Determination.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement of the Indemnitee toindemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of any Claim.
- 8 - (d) Payment of Indemnification . If, in regard to any Losses:
(i) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a); (ii) no Standard Conduct Determination is legally required as a condition to indemnification of the Indemnitee hereunder; or (iii) the Indemnitee has been determined or deemed pursuant to Section 9(b) or Section 9(c) to have satisfied the Standard of Conduct
Determination, then the Company shall pay to the Indemnitee, within ten days after the later of (A) the Notification Date or (B) the earliest date on which theapplicable criterion specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) is satisfied, an amount equal to such Losses.
(e) Selection of Independent Counsel for Standard of Conduct Determination . If a Standard of Conduct Determination is to be made byIndependent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b)(i), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors, and the Company shallgive written notice to the Indemnitee advising him of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. If a Standard of ConductDetermination is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(b)(ii), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee,and the Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either case, theIndemnitee or the Company, as applicable, may, within five days after receiving written notice of selection from the other, deliver to the other awritten objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel soselected does not satisfy the criteria set forth in the definition of “ Independent Counsel ” in Section 1(i), and the objection shall set forth withparticularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person or firm so selected shall act as IndependentCounsel. If such written objection is properly and timely made and substantiated, (i) the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve asIndependent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit; and (ii) thenon-objecting party may, at its option, select an alternative Independent Counsel and give written notice to the other party advising such otherparty of the identity of the alternative Independent Counsel so selected, in which case the provisions of the two immediately precedingsentences, the introductory clause of this sentence and numbered clause (i) of this sentence shall apply to such subsequent selection and notice. Ifapplicable, the provisions of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall apply to successive alternative selections. If no IndependentCounsel that is permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 9(e) to make the Standard of Conduct Determination shall have beenselected within 20 days after the Company gives its initial notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9(e) or the Indemnitee gives itsinitial notice pursuant to the second sentence of this Section 9(e), as the case may be, either the Company or the Indemnitee may petition a courtin Nevada (the “ Court ”) to resolve any objection which shall have been made by the Company or the Indemnitee to the other’s selection ofIndependent Counsel and/or to appoint as Independent Counsel a person to be selected by the Court or such other person as the Court shalldesignate, and the person or firm with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person or firm so appointed will act as IndependentCounsel. In all events, the Company shall pay all of the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel incurred in connection with theIndependent Counsel’s determination pursuant to Section 9(b).
- 9 - (f) Presumptions and Defenses .
(i) Indemnitee’s Entitlement to Indemnification . In making any Standard of Conduct Determination, the person or persons making such
determination shall presume that the Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, andthe Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption and establish that the Indemnitee is not so entitled. AnyStandard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to the Indemnitee may be challenged by the Indemnitee in the Court. Nodetermination by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent Counsel) that the Indemnitee has not satisfied anyapplicable standard of conduct may be used as a defense to any legal proceedings brought by the Indemnitee to secure indemnificationor reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not metany applicable standard of conduct.
(ii) Reliance as a Safe Harbor . For purposes of this Agreement, and without creating any presumption as to a lack of good faith if the
following circumstances do not exist, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonablybelieved to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company if the Indemnitee’s actions or omissions to act are taken in goodfaith reliance upon the records of the Company, including its financial statements, or upon information, opinions, reports or statementsfurnished to the Indemnitee by the officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the course of their duties, or bycommittees of the Board or by any other Person (including legal counsel, accountants and financial advisors) as to matters theIndemnitee reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected withreasonable care by or on behalf of the Company. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failures to act, of any director, officer,agent or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to the Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnityhereunder.
- 10 - (iii) No Other Presumptions . For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with
or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not create a presumption that theIndemnitee did not meet any applicable standard of conduct or have any particular belief, or that indemnification hereunder is otherwisenot permitted.
(iv) Defense to Indemnification and Burden of Proof . It shall be a defense to any action brought by the Indemnitee against the Company
to enforce this Agreement (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for Losses incurred in defending against a Claim related toan Indemnifiable Event in advance of its final disposition) that it is not permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnifythe Indemnitee for the amount claimed. In connection with any such action or any related Standard of Conduct Determination, theburden of proving such a defense or that the Indemnitee did not satisfy the applicable standard of conduct shall be on the Company.
(v) Resolution of Claims . The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment may be successful on
the merits or otherwise for purposes of Section 9(a)(i) if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption anduncertainty.

The Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome this presumption.
10. Exclusions from Indemnification . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to: (a) indemnify or advance funds to the Indemnitee for Expenses or Losses with respect to proceedings initiated by the Indemnitee, including any
proceedings against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees and not by way of defense, except:

(ii) where the Company has joined in or the Board has consented to the initiation of such proceedings;
- 11 -
(b) indemnify the Indemnitee if a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such indemnification is prohibited by applicablelaw;

Guidance On Accredited Investor Exemptions for Individuals An individual accredited investor is an individual:
(a) who, either alone or with a spouse, beneficially owns financial assets (please see the guidance below regarding what financial assets are) having anaggregate realizable value that. before taxes but net of any related liabilities (please see the guidance below regarding what related liabilities are), exceeds$1,000,000;
(b) whose net income before taxes exceeded $200,000 in each of the 2 most recent calendar years or whose net income before taxes combined with that of a
spouse exceeded $300,000 in each of the 2 most recent calendar years and who, in either case, reasonably expects to exceed that net income level in thecurrent calendar year;
(c) who, either alone or with a spouse, has net assets (please see the guidance below regarding calculating net assets) of at least $5,000,000; and (d) who beneficially owns financial assets (please see the guidance below regarding what financial assets are) having an aggregate realizable value that,
before taxes but net of any related liabilities (please see the guidance below regarding what related liabilities are), exceeds $5,000,000.
The monetary thresholds above are intended to create bright-line standards. Optionees who do not satisfy these monetary thresholds do not qualify as accreditedinvestors. Spouses Sections (a), (b) and (c) above are designed to treat spouses as a single investing unit, so that either spouse qualifies as an accredited investor if the combinedfinancial assets of both spouses exceed $1,000,000, the combined net income of both spouses exceeds $300,000, or the combined net assets of both spouses exceed$5,000,000. Section (d) above does not treat spouses as a single investing unit. If the combined net income of both spouses does not exceed $300,000, but the net income of one of the spouses exceeds $200,000, only the spouse whose netincome exceeds $200,000 qualifies as an accredited investor. Financial Assets and Related Liabilities For the purposes of Sections (a) and (d) above, “ financial assets ” means: (1) cash, (2) securities, or (3) a contract of insurance, a deposit or an evidence of adeposit that is not a security for the purposes of securities legislation. These financial assets are generally liquid or relatively easy to liquidate. The value of aoptionee’s personal residence is not included in a calculation of financial assets. The calculation of financial assets must exclude “ related liabilities ”, meaning: (1) liabilities incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing the acquisition orownership of financial assets, or (2) liabilities that are secured by financial assets.
C- 6 As a general matter, it should not be difficult to determine whether financial assets are beneficially owned by an individual, an individual’s spouse, or both, in anyparticular instance. However, in the case where financial assets are held in a trust or in another type of investment vehicle for the benefit of an individual, theremay be questions as to whether the individual beneficially owns the financial assets. The following factors are indicative of beneficial ownership of financialassets: ● physical or constructive possession of evidence of ownership of the financial asset; ● entitlement to receipt of any income generated by the financial asset; ● risk of loss of the value of the financial asset; and ● the ability to dispose of the financial asset or otherwise deal with it as the individual sees fit. For example, securities held in a self-directed RRSP for the sole benefit of an individual are beneficially owned by that individual. In general, financial assets in a spousal RRSP can be included for the purposes of the $1,000,000 financial asset test in Section (a) above because Section (a) takesinto account financial assets owned beneficially by a spouse. However, financial assets in a spousal RRSP cannot be included for purposes of the $5,000,000financial asset test in Section (d) above. Financial assets held in a group RRSP under which the individual does not have the ability to acquire the financial assets and deal with them directly do not meetthe beneficial ownership requirements in either Sections (a) or (d) above. Guidance on Close Personal Friend and Close Business Associate Determination A “ close personal friend ” of a director, executive officer, founder or control person of an issuer is an individual who knows the director, executive officer,founder or control person well enough and has known them for a sufficient period of time to be in a position to assess their capabilities and trustworthiness and toobtain information from them with respect to the investment. The following factors are relevant to this determination:
(a) the length of time the individual has known the director, executive officer, founder or control person, (b) the nature of the relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person including such matters as the frequency
of contacts between them and the level of trust and reliance in the other circumstances, and (c) the number of “close personal friends” of the director, executive officer, founder or control person to whom securities have been distributed in reliance on
the private issuer exemption or the family, friends and business associates exemption.
An individual is not a close personal friend solely because the individual is:
(a) a relative, (b) a member of the same club, organization, association or religious group, (c) a co-worker, colleague or associate at the same workplace, (d) a client, customer, former client or former customer, (e) a mere acquaintance, or (f) connected through some form of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
C- 7
The relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person must be direct. For example, the exemption is not available toa close personal friend of a close personal friend of a director of the issuer. Further, a relationship that is primarily founded on participation in an internet forum isnot considered to be that of a close personal friend. A “ close business associate ” is an individual who has had sufficient prior business dealings with a director, executive officer, founder or control person of theissuer to be in a position to assess their capabilities and trustworthiness and to obtain information from them with respect to the investment. The following factors are relevant to this determination:
(a) the length of time the individual has known the director, executive officer, founder or control person, (b) the nature of any specific business relationships between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person, including, for each
relationship, when it began, the frequency of contact between them and when it terminated if it is not ongoing, and the level of trust and reliance in theother circumstances,
(c) the nature and number of any business dealings between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person, the length of the
period during which they occurred, and the nature and date of the most recent business dealing, and (d) the number of “close business associates” of the director, executive officer, founder or control person to whom securities have been distributed in reliance
on the private issuer exemption or the family, friends and business associates exemption.
An individual is not a close business associate solely because the individual is:
(a) a member of the same club, organization, association or religious group, (b) a co-worker, colleague or associate at the same workplace, (c) a client, customer, former client or former customer, (d) a mere acquaintance, or (e) connected through some form of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
The relationship between the individual and the director, executive officer, founder or control person must be direct. For example, the exemptions are not availablefor a close business associate of a close business associate of a director of the issuer. Further, a relationship that is primarily founded on participation in an internetforum is not considered to be that of a close business associate. The Optionee acknowledges and agrees that, in addition to resale restrictions imposed under U.S. securities laws, there are additional restrictions on the Optionee’sability to resell the Securities under Canadian securities laws and National Instrument 45-102 as adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators; The Optionee agrees that the above representations and warranties will be true and correct both as of the execution of this Questionnaire acknowledges that theywill survive the completion of the issue of the Option.

- 9 - (f) Presumptions and Defenses .

determination shall presume that the Indemnitee has satisfied the applicable standard of conduct and is entitled to indemnification, andthe Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption and establish that the Indemnitee is not so entitled. AnyStandard of Conduct Determination that is adverse to the Indemnitee may be challenged by the Indemnitee in the Court. Nodetermination by the Company (including by its directors or any Independent Counsel) that the Indemnitee has not satisfied anyapplicable standard of conduct may be used as a defense to any legal proceedings brought by the Indemnitee to secure indemnificationor reimbursement or advance payment of Expenses by the Company hereunder or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not metany applicable standard of conduct.

following circumstances do not exist, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonablybelieved to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company if the Indemnitee’s actions or omissions to act are taken in goodfaith reliance upon the records of the Company, including its financial statements, or upon information, opinions, reports or statementsfurnished to the Indemnitee by the officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the course of their duties, or bycommittees of the Board or by any other Person (including legal counsel, accountants and financial advisors) as to matters theIndemnitee reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected withreasonable care by or on behalf of the Company. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failures to act, of any director, officer,agent or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to the Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnityhereunder.
- 10 - (iii) No Other Presumptions . For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with
or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, will not create a presumption that theIndemnitee did not meet any applicable standard of conduct or have any particular belief, or that indemnification hereunder is otherwisenot permitted.
