Investment in Coinsquare |
Note 2. Investment in Coinsquare:
As of September 29, 2017, the Company acquired a minority interest for $3,000,000 USD, in Coinsquare, which operates a digital crypto-currency exchange platform operating in Canada. The Company acquired approximately 10.9% of the voting common stock of Coinsquare. In connection with the investment, the Company also received warrants, expiring May 30, 2018, to acquire shares of common stock of Coinsquare, which if exercised in full by the Company, would result in the Company owning an approximate total of 14.7% of Coinsquare, including the initial investment. The fair value of the warrants were determined to be de minimis. The Company has evaluated the guidance ASC 325-20 Investments – Other, in determining to account for the investment on the cost method since the equity securities are not marketable and do not give us significant influence over Coinsquare. As of September 30, 2017, the Company considers the fair value of the investment to approximate the cost of the investment due to the proximity of the time of the investment to period end.

- Definition The entire disclosure for investments accounted for under the cost-method. The carrying amount of such investments may be adjusted, for example, distributions in excess of cost (return of capital) or for other-than-temporary impairments. The cost method and lower-of-cost or market, an adaptation of the cost method, is generally followed for most investments in noncontrolled corporations, in some corporate joint ventures, and to a lesser extent in unconsolidated subsidiaries in which the entity does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.
