NOTE 1 OVERVIEW

Fraud Protection Network, Inc. (the “Company”, “us”, “we” or “our”) offers a diverse portfolio of credit and identity solutions, both direct-to-consumers as well as to enterprise customers. We obtained Experian’s Independent Third-Party Assessment (EI3PA) Level I certification in 2014. We continue to maintain this security level with annual third-party audits and have also been recognized by Experian as an Authorized Technical Provider. The Company’s consumer services include Resident-Link, RapID PRO™ and RentConnect. The Company’s enterprise solutions include Credit PreScreening, Loan PreQualification, software development, and EI3PA hosting services. The Company’s customers are located in the United States.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we have sustained a net loss of $380,217 and have used $265,226 of cash in our operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018, we had $15,734 of cash on hand, a stockholders’ deficit of $5,954,454 and a working capital deficit of $1,853,724. While management expects operating trends to continue to improve over the course of 2018, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on implementing its business plan and, if needed, securing additional debt or equity financing from outside investors. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Management plans to continue to implement its business plan and to fund operations by raising additional capital through the issuance of debt and equity securities. Commencing in February 2017, the Company launched its Resident-Link platform, which grew quickly and became a significant revenue stream for 2017 and remains the largest revenue stream for the first quarter of 2018. In May 2017, the Company launched its Credit PreScreening and Loan PreQualification platforms as well. Management has focused its efforts on these revenue streams, which we expect will increase the amount of gross profits from operations going forward. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company received proceeds of $150,000 from the issuance of a convertible promissory note (See Note 6). Subsequent to March 31, 2018, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000 from the issuance of additional convertible promissory notes (See Note 11).

The estimated costs of operations while we ramp up our revenues is substantially greater than the amount of funds we had available on March 31, 2018. The Company’s future existence is dependent upon management’s ability to implement its business plan and/or obtain additional funding. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may include undue restrictions on our operations in the case of indebtedness, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders in the case of equity financing. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates in the accompanying condensed financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciable lives and valuation of property and equipment, amortization periods and the valuation of capitalized software costs, deferred revenues and deferred costs, share-based compensation, fair value of financial instruments, income taxes and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and contingent liabilities.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented herein, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in its Form S-1/A, as filed with the SEC on April 30, 2018. The December 31, 2017 balance sheet is derived from those audited financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes future tax benefits and liabilities measured at enacted rates attributable to temporary differences between financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and to net tax operating loss carryforwards to the extent that realization of these benefits is more likely than not. As of March 31, 2018, there was no change to our assessment that a full valuation allowance was required against all net deferred tax assets. Accordingly, any deferred tax provision or benefit was offset by an equal and opposite change to the valuation allowance. No current book income tax provision was recorded against book net income due to the existence of significant net operating loss carryforwards.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and is expensed over the requisite service period. For employee share-based awards, the grant-date fair value of the award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which includes variables such as the expected volatility of the Company’s share price, the exercise behavior of its grantees, interest rates, and dividend yields. These variables are projected based on the Company’s historical data, experience, and other factors. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the grant-date fair value of the award in the same manner as employee awards, however, the awards are revalued at the end of each reporting period and the pro rata compensation expense is adjusted accordingly until such time the non-employee award is fully vested, at which time the total compensation recognized to date shall equal the fair value of the share-based award as calculated on the measurement date, which is the date at which the award recipient’s performance is complete. The estimation of share-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Options to purchase 500,000 and 0 common shares and convertible debt of $1,580,000 and $912,500 (convertible into 1,264,000 and 730,000 common shares) were outstanding at March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because the effects would have been anti-dilutive. The options and convertible debt are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share when their effect is dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC. ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period (full retrospective) or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application (modified retrospective). The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 in the first quarter of 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach. The impact of this standard relates to our accounting for a set-up fee that is charged only to Resident-Link customers electing our baseline subscription package. Specifically, the set-up fees collected are now deferred and recognized pro rata over the expected term of the subscription. Revenue from all other products and services remains substantially unchanged. Adoption of the standard using the modified retrospective method required us to restate our December 31, 2017 balance sheet with an increase in deferred revenues of $27,335 and a corresponding increase in our accumulated deficit.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which will require lessees to report most leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, while lessor accounting will remain substantially unchanged. This ASU requires a modified retrospective transition approach for existing leases, whereby the new rules will be applied to the earliest year presented. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statements. The Company expects that it will recognize right-of-use assets and related obligations on its balance sheet upon adoption.

NOTE 5 INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

During 2017, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with a customer for the development of a product designed to help consumers make better decisions regarding their credit. Under the JV Agreement, the Company contributed certain legacy software and development services to the JV entity for a 32% interest, and the customer agreed to make a cash contribution (up to a maximum of $400,000) for the development of the online platform for a 68% interest. The contributed intellectual property is included in Investment in joint venture on the accompanying balance sheet. Under the JV Agreement, the Company and the joint venture entity entered into a hosting and development services agreement (the ''Services Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company receives fees for software development. These fees are recognized as services are provided, net of the costs incurred, and net of the 32% ownership interest in the joint venture. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized software development revenue (net of its ownership interest of $729 and $0 in such revenues) under the Services Agreement of $1,577 and $0, respectively. Under the JV Agreement, the Company shall share in any future profits of the joint venture on the equity method based on its 32% ownership interest.

FRAUD PROTECTION NETWORK, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, interest expense of $46,326 and $27,855, respectively, was recognized on outstanding convertible notes payable.

NOTE 7 SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

A. Share-Based Compensation

Stock Options

Effective March 6, 2018, the Company granted stock options to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share to its Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to an Employment Agreement. The stock options vest as follows: (i) 200,000 options vest in twelve equal monthly increments on the last calendar day of each month with the first vesting date being March 31, 2018, subject to continued employment on each applicable vesting date; and (ii) 300,000 options vest in thirty-six equal monthly increments on the last calendar day of each month with the first vesting date being March 31, 2018, subject to continued employment on each applicable vesting date.

The aggregate grant-date fair value of the stock options of $389,212 (weighted average grant-date fair value of $0.78 per option) was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula applying the following assumptions for each respective period:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2018		2017
Expected term (years)	4.0 - 4.5		n/a
Expected volatility		81.43%		n/a
Risk free interest rate		2.42 - 2.65%		n/a
Expected dividends		—		n/a
Estimated annual forfeiture rate		—		n/a

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the following assumptions. The expected term represents the period over which the stock option awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. As the Company’s stock is not yet listed on any exchange, the expected volatility used is based on the historical price of a similar company’s stock over the most recent period commensurate with the expected term of the award. The risk-free interest rate used is based on the implied yield of U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equivalent to the award’s expected term. The Company historically has not paid any dividends on its common stock and had no intention to do so on the date the share-based awards were granted. The estimated annual forfeiture rate is based on management’s expectations and will reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. The forfeiture rate will be adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual option forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate, when it is material.

The Company recognized compensation expense of $15,983 and $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, for stock option awards in its condensed statements of operations.

As of March 31, 2018, there was $373,229 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock option awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017

Net revenues

Net revenues increased $311,020, or 1,845%, to $327,875 in the 2018 Quarter from $16,855 in the 2017 Quarter, resulting primarily from increased revenues from PreScreen Services by $146,327, Resident-Link by $144,034, and PreQual Solutions by $22,251. For 2018, we plan to continue to focus our efforts on increasing revenues derived from these three revenue streams as we believe these revenues shall continue to grow for the foreseeable future.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased $124,735, or 3,217%, to $128,613 in the 2018 Quarter from $3,878 in the 2017 Quarter, primarily due to the increase in revenues that occurred in the current year. In particular, referral fees and commissions increased by $102,865 and merchant fees increased by $19,394.

-17-

Data Expenses

Data expenses increased $105,578, or 267%, to $145,190 in the 2018 Quarter from $39,612 in the 2017 Quarter, primarily due to the increase in data purchased from a major credit repository and resulted from our increase in revenues.

Technology and Software Maintenance Expenses

Technology and software maintenance expenses increased $15,294, or 51%, to $45,512 in the 2018 Quarter from $30,218 in the 2017 Quarter, primarily due to the increased time spent by our programmers on maintenance of our various software platforms.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $113,767, or 57%, to $315,188 in the 2018 Quarter from $201,421 in the 2017 Quarter, primarily due to professional fees increased by $29,001, share-based compensation increased by $23,689, payroll and related costs increased by $23,615, and insurance expenses increased by $11,175. General and administrative expenses during the 2018 Quarter consisted primarily of payroll and related costs, professional fees, share-based compensation, insurance, travel, and colocation services.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $12,847, or 91%, to $26,907 in the 2018 Quarter from $14,060 in the 2017 Quarter, primarily due to the commencement of amortization of our Resident-Link and Loan PreQualification software platforms in February 2017 and May 2017, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $17,065, or 58%, to $46,682 in the 2018 Quarter from $29,617 in the 2017 Quarter, primarily due to the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of convertible promissory notes payable, bearing interest from 10% to 12%, in the aggregate amount of $770,000 during the last nine months of 2017. At the holders’ option, the promissory notes can be converted into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.25 per share.

Net Loss

We generated a net loss of $380,217 in the 2018 Quarter compared to a net loss of $301,951 in the 2017 Quarter. The increase in the net loss by $78,266 is primarily due to the increase in operating expenses by $372,221 and the increase in interest expense $17,065, partially offset by the increase in net revenues by $311,020.

Income Taxes

The Company generated a net loss of $380,217 in the 2018 Quarter. While the Company maintains significant net operating loss carryforwards, no income tax expense (benefit) was recognized as the Company’s deferred tax provision is completely offset by a full valuation allowance. As a result of The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we expect no tax impact to the financial statements stemming from the change in the corporate income tax rate.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

A summary of our cash flows is as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2018			2017
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(265,226	)	$	(335,706	)

Net cash provided by financing activities		150,000			212,500
Net decrease in cash	$	(163,941	)	$	(165,792	)

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities in the 2018 Quarter resulted primarily from a net loss of $375,109, an increase in accounts receivable of $41,644, a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $37,162 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $30,087, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable by $161,630, depreciation and amortization of $26,907 and share-based compensation of $23,689.

Net cash used in operating activities in the 2017 Quarter resulted primarily from a net loss of $301,952 and a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $60,088, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $20,331.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the 2018 Quarter resulted primarily from the capitalization of software development costs of $45,524.

Net cash used in investing activities in the 2017 Quarter resulted primarily from the capitalization of software development costs of $31,579.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in the 2018 Quarter resulted from proceeds of $150,000 from the sale of a convertible promissory note.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the 2017 Quarter resulted from proceeds from the sale of treasury shares of $152,500 (of which $40,000 was for shares to be issued) and proceeds of $60,000 from the sale of a convertible promissory note.

Liquidity and Capital Resource Considerations

Historically, our primary source of liquidity is proceeds from issuances of debt and equity securities. The primary uses of cash are payroll and related expenses, data costs, referral fees and commissions, software development costs, and professional fees.

During 2018 to date, we issued convertible promissory notes in exchange for aggregate cash proceeds of $650,000. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at any time from the date of issuance through the respective maturity date at the option of the holder at a fixed conversion price of $1.25 per share. The notes bear interest at 10% per annum and require quarterly interest payments through maturity. As an inducement to enter into the April 2018 convertible promissory notes payable agreements, the holders were issued 5-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share expiring in April 2023. The fair value of the warrants and associated beneficial conversion right shall be treated as a discount to the face value of the promissory notes and amortized to interest expense over the original term of the convertible promissory notes.

-19-

Our existence is dependent upon management’s ability to grow our revenues and/or obtain additional funding. If our Board determines to raise capital and is unsuccessful and we are unable to increase revenues, we believe that we will need to reduce operating expenses or cease operations. There can be no assurance that our efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of our liquidity problems.

In their report dated April 16, 2018, our independent registered public accounting firm included an emphasis-of-matter paragraph with respect to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 concerning our assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised because of our recurring losses from operations and working capital deficit.

Required Capital Over the Next Fiscal Year

As of May 23, 2018, we had a cash balance of approximately $248,000. Given our current cash on hand and the growth in our revenues, we believe that we have sufficient cash to allow us to implement our long-term business plan. We plan to raise at least $500,000 during the remainder of 2018 to continue to fund operations.

Our cash balances are kept liquid to support our growing infrastructure needs. The majority of our cash is concentrated in large financial institutions.

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, required by Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on their evaluation, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

The note is convertible into shares of our common stock at any time from the date of issuance through the maturity date at the option of the holder at a fixed conversion price of $1.25 per share.

In connection with the purchase of these notes, we issued to the investors 125,000 five-year warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at the price of $2.50 per share.
