USE OF ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets and related disclosure. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our
estimates, including those related to non-marketable securities. We base our
estimates on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying value of assets that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates due to actual outcomes being
different from those on which we based our assumptions. These estimates and
judgments are reviewed by management on an ongoing basis and by our board of
directors at the end of each quarter prior to the public release of our
financial results.
As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report, we believe there have
been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates
during the three ended March 31, 2022 compared to those disclosed in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with
the SEC. Additional information about these critical accounting policies may be
found in the "Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021
Operating expenses for three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled $145,752, an
increase of $66,354 or 83.6% as compared to the three months ended March 31,
2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in stock option expense of
$60,857 and professional fees of $4,111. Other expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 totaled $75,843, an increase of $6,364 or 9.2% as compared
to $69,479 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase was due to
higher interest expense accruals.

Net cash used in operating activities was $82,919 including $60,857 in stock
options expense, and $10,749 for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. The Company has a line of credit arrangement with First Republic
Bank with a borrowing limit of $350,000 with interest based upon the lender's
prime rate plus 4.5%. Interest is currently payable monthly at 7.75%. The line
is guaranteed by William R. Hambrecht, Chief Executive Officer, Director. The

outstanding of $193,643. As of March 31, 2022, the total notes payable to the
third party was $2,386,950.
The Company may obtain additional equity or working capital through additional
bank borrowings, debt conversion to common stock, and public or private sales of
equity securities. The Company may also borrow additional funds from Mr. William
R. Hambrecht. There can be no assurance, however, that such additional financing
will be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all.
While the Company explores new business opportunities, the primary capital
resource of the Company relates to the 74,000 shares held of Arcimoto valued at
$489,140 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $575,7201 at December 31,
2021. The 468,121 shares of non-marketable investment TangoMe, Inc. is also a
primary capital resource. The investment in TangoMe, Inc. shares is valued at
$4,781,520 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31,
2021, respectively. The non-marketable investment in Buoy Health is valued at
$178,824 for both quarters ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.Given that
the investments in TangoMe, Inc. and Buoy Health do not have a readily
determinable fair value, the Company exerts significant judgment in estimating
the fair value using various pricing models and the information available to the
Company that it deems most relevant.
Trends and Uncertainties
Termination of Historical Business Lines
Since winding down the Company's traditional lines of business, Management and
the Board of Directors have been seeking appropriate business opportunities for
the Company. The Company's cash assets are invested in corporate securities and
demand deposit accounts. If the Company does not find an operating entity to
combine with, and if its assets are not invested in certain types of securities
(primarily government securities), it may be deemed to be an investment company
under the terms of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
