THE COMPANY HISTORY AND NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY HISTORY AND NATURE OF THE BUSINESS

 

Nukkleus Inc. (f/k/a Compliance & Risk Management Solutions Inc.) (“Nukkleus” or the “Company”) was formed on July 29, 2013 in the State of Delaware as a for-profit Company and established a fiscal year end of September 30.

 

On February 5, 2016, Charms Investments, Ltd (“Charms”), the former majority shareholder of the Company, sold 146,535,140 shares of common stock to Currency Mountain Holdings Bermuda, Limited (“CMH”), the parent of the Company. CMH is wholly-owned by an entity that is owned by Emil Assentato, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Chairman. In addition, on the same date, CMH acquired 3,937,000 shares of common stock from another non-affiliated company. The aggregate purchase price paid by CMH was $347,500.

 

On May 24, 2016, Nukkleus, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nukkleus Limited, a Bermuda limited company (the “Subsidiary”), Charms, the former majority shareholder, and CMH entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company purchased from CMH certain intellectual property, hardware, software and other assets (collectively, the “Assets”) in consideration of 48,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The Asset Purchase Agreement closed on May 24, 2016. As a result of such acquisition, the Company’s operations are now focused on the operation of a foreign exchange trading business utilizing the assets acquired from CMH.

 

On May 24, 2016, the Subsidiary entered into a General Service Agreement to provide its software, technology, customer sales and marketing and risk management technology hardware and software solutions package to FML Malta Ltd. In December 2017, the Subsidiary, FML Malta Ltd. and FXDD Malta Limited (“FXDD Malta”) entered into a letter agreement providing that there was an error in drafting the General Service Agreement and acknowledging that the correct counter-party to Subsidiary in the General Service Agreement is FXDD Malta. Accordingly, all references to FML Malta Ltd. have been replaced with FXDD Malta. FXDD Malta is a private limited liability company formed under the laws of Malta. The General Service Agreement entered with FXDD Malta provides that FXDD Malta will pay the Subsidiary at minimum $2,000,000 per month. On October 17, 2017, the Subsidiary entered into an amendment of the General Service Agreement with FXDD Malta. In accordance with the amendment, which was effective as of October 1, 2017, the minimum amount payable by FXDD Malta to the Subsidiary for services was reduced from $2,000,000 per month to $1,600,000 per month. Emil Assentato is also the majority member of Max Q Investments LLC (“Max Q”), which is managed by Derivative Marketing Associates Inc. (“DMA”). Mr. Assentato is the sole owner and manager of DMA. Max Q owns 79% of Currency Mountain Malta LLC, which in turn is the sole shareholder of FXDD Malta.

 

In addition, on May 24, 2016, in order to appropriately service FXDD Malta, the Subsidiary entered into a General Service Agreement with FXDirectDealer LLC (“FXDIRECT”), which provides that the Subsidiary will pay FXDIRECT a minimum of $1,975,000 per month in consideration of providing personnel engaged in operational and technical support, marketing, sales support, accounting, risk monitoring, documentation processing and customer care and support. FXDIRECT may terminate this agreement upon providing 90 days’ written notice. On October 17, 2017, the Subsidiary entered into an amendment of the General Service Agreement with FXDIRECT. Pursuant to the amendment, which was effective as of October 1, 2017, the minimum amount payable by the Subsidiary to FXDIRECT for services was reduced from $1,975,000 per month to $1,575,000 per month. Currency Mountain Holdings LLC is the sole shareholder of FXDIRECT. Max Q is the majority shareholder of Currency Mountain Holdings LLC.

 

On May 27, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) to acquire, from IBIH Limited, a BVI corporation (“IBIH”) 2,200 issued and outstanding common stock for $1,000,000, representing 9.9% of IBIH. In addition, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GVS Limited (“Iron BVI”), which is the parent corporation of GVS (AU) Pty Ltd. (“Iron Australia”) for 24,156,000 shares of common stock of the Company (“First Closing”).

 

The Company agreed to acquire the remaining 20,000 shares of IBIH for 219,844,000 shares of its common stock, subject to IBIH obtaining regulatory approvals from the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom (“London FCA”) and from the regulators in Cyprus (“Second Closing”). The Second Closing was subject to the Company signing an option agreement with FXDD Malta and FXDD Trading Limited operating units (the “Option”), which are affiliates through common ownership, providing that the Company may acquire both entities for $1. These transactions were subject to regulatory approval, where applicable.

 

The terms of the Agreement stipulated that if the Second Closing did not occur before November 28, 2016, the $1,000,000 would be returned to the Company and the First Closing would be unwound. As a result of the First Closing being contingent on the Second Closing, the $1,000,000 cash paid and value of the 24,156,000 shares issued was recorded as a “deposit on potential acquisition”, which was repaid to and returned to the Company in the first fiscal quarter of 2018 (See next paragraph), and the 24,156,000 shares was recorded as “contingent common stock” due to the uncertainty of the closing of the transaction.

 

On November 17, 2017, the Company, IBIH, Terra (FX) Offshore Limited, Ludico Investments Limited, Currency Mountain Holdings LLC and the IBIH Shareholders entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Iron Settlement Agreement”) pursuant to which the Stock Purchase Agreement was terminated, all differences between the parties were resolved and settled and the parties fully released the other parties from any liability. Pursuant to the Iron Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to (i) have the registered office of Iron Australia changed, (ii) have its director designees resign as directors of Iron Australia, (iii) appoint Markos Kashiouris, Petros Economides and Yun Ma as directors of Iron Australia; (iv) and make all required changes with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. With respect to Iron BVI, pursuant to the Iron Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to (i) have the registered office of Iron BVI changed, (ii) have its director designee resign as a director of Iron BVI, (iii) appoint Cymora Limited as director of Iron BVI; (iv) and make all required changes with the BVI Registrar of Companies. Further, the Company agreed to return the 2,200 shares of capital stock of IBIH to the IBIH Shareholders and return 100% of its interest in Iron BVI to IBIH. IBIH agreed to return the 24,156,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the Company for cancellation and to pay the Company $1,000,000. Further, Markos Kashiouris, Petros Economides and Efstathios Christophi resigned as directors of the Company and waived any directorship fees payable to them under their letter of appointment dated August 1, 2016. The $1,000,000 has been paid to the Company, net of approximately $70,000 of legal expenses, in the first fiscal quarter of 2018 and IBIH has returned the certificate representing the 24,156,000 shares of common stock of the Company and the shares have been cancelled by the Company.
