This slide deck is originally from the YouTube series EDGAR Histories, where we dig into the history of public companies to learn about topics like Y2K or autonomous vehicles. You can watch this episode's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_Ajhy6qBXs Welcome back to EDGAR Histories, where we'll be back out in the field digging up some fresh financial artifacts. In our first of three parts in this series, we look at Crypto on Wall Street. Today, we'll examine how the concept of "currencies" has evolved in the filings of publicly-traded companies over the last two decades. In particular, we'll highlight how three distinct concepts have co-evolved: 1. "Virtual" currencies 2. "Digital" currencies 3. "Cryptocurrencies" We're not here to define or distinguish between these terms; just show you how they've been used, mixed, or explained by others. As before, our source material is the set of annual reports, also known as 10-Ks, filed by domestic, listed companies. We're not going to touch on any non-listed, Canadian, or other foreign filings (20-F, 40-F, etc.).

So, how - and when - did these frames align? (N.B.: the definition of currency and money has changed over time and varies by legal or regulatory context.)

10 EDGAR Histories 002 08/01/2016 Crypto on Wall Street, Part I Digital Currencies Virtual Currencies Search Concepts Cryptocurrencies IAC Consumer Applications and Portals. The IAC Consumer Applications and Portals business offers branded search toolbars, including the MyWebSearch and Ask-branded toolbars. These toolbars enable users to run search queries from any website using one of several popular search algorithms, including those of Ask destination search websites. Many of these toolbars offer additional benefits, such as pop-up blocking and quick access to personalized portal content. These toolbars can be installed free of charge, with the MyWebSearch toolbar being promoted by distribution through FunWebProducts (as described below). In addition, distribution arrangements are in place with several third parties to bundle the Ask-branded toolbar with their downloadable applications, in which cases related revenues are generally shared (net of amounts retained by paid listing providers) with these third parties. The IAC Consumer Applications and Portals business also offers several free, downloadable applications that include search functionality, together with a number of features designed to make online activities more personal, interesting and fun. FunWebProducts offers a suite of these features, which include, among others, Smiley Central, through which users can add emoticons to e-mails and instant messages, Webfetti, through which users can personalize their pages on various social networking websites and Zwinky, through which users can create avatars to express their persona on the web and design and update profile pages to share with friends. Zwinky also provides users with access to Zwinktopia, a virtual world where the users' avatars can interact through chat and other features and can purchase virtual items with virtual currency.

20 EDGAR Histories 002 08/01/2016 Crypto on Wall Street, Part I Digital Currencies Virtual Currencies Search Concepts Cryptocurrencies In the future we may derive a larger percentage of our revenue from sources other than advertisements. In 2008 we began implementing premium fee-based content on our applications and may expand those offerings as time goes on. We will also consider converting several of our applications to a subscription-based pay model at some point in the next 12 months. Our decision to convert to a pay model and/or charge for premium content is dependent upon a variety of factors. Some of these factors include how much activity there is on the applications, the nature of the payment processing tools available on the underlying Social Networking websites, as well as our evaluation of the prioritization of revenue versus growth at the time. Each application will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis in light of the above factors. We have also begun exploring other revenue sources that have proven successful in the industry including the introduction of a “virtual currency” on several of our applications and the sale of premium “virtual goods,” and will consider incorporating these revenue sources into more of our applications in the future.

22 EDGAR Histories 002 08/01/2016 Crypto on Wall Street, Part I Digital Currencies Virtual Currencies Search Concepts Cryptocurrencies During the year, we enhanced our Membership Rewards® program with the introduction of new reward options designed to meet customer demand and provide Cardmembers with greater breadth and variety as well as utility. For example, we launched a new benefit that allows Membership Rewards points to be used for purchases on Amazon.com at the point of sale. In addition to this redemption option at Amazon, we have added a number of new partners to the program that give Cardmembers a broader range of opportunities to redeem points, such as Universal Studios Theme Parks, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Victoriaʼs Secret, Ruby Tuesday and Zynga. In addition, Cardmembers now have the ability to pay for their annual membership fee with Membership Rewards points. We believe our Membership Rewards point bank is a substantial asset and a competitive advantage, and is moving towards becoming a valued virtual currency. (Item 1)

31 EDGAR Histories 002 08/01/2016 Crypto on Wall Street, Part I Virtual Currencies Digital Currencies Search Concepts Cryptocurrencies Our decision to accept bitcoins as a form of payment for purchases on our website may subject us to exchange risk and additional tax and regulatory requirements. In January 2014, we began accepting bitcoins as a form of payment for purchases on our website. Bitcoin is a digital currency that uses cryptography to control the creation and transfer of the currency between individual parties. Bitcoin is not considered legal tender or backed by any government. Since inception in 2009, bitcoins have experienced price volatility, technological glitches and various law enforcement and regulatory interventions. (Item 1A - Risk Factors)

34 EDGAR Histories 002 08/01/2016 Crypto on Wall Street, Part I Virtual Currencies Digital Currencies Search Concepts Cryptocurrencies Industry and Market Overview (Overview of Bitcoin) Bitcoins are a digital or virtual currency that use peer-to-peer technology to facilitate instant payments. A Bitcoin is a type of alternative currency known as a cryptocurrency, which uses cryptography for security. Bitcoin issuance and transactions are carried out collectively by the network, with no central authority, and allow users to make verified transfers. Bitcoin is an accepted form of payment by a growing, but still limited number of businesses, while governments and regulators are beginning to create more regulation and structure to legitimize it as a currency.

37 EDGAR Histories 002 08/01/2016 Crypto on Wall Street, Part I Virtual Currencies Digital Currencies Search Concepts Cryptocurrencies Absent traditional banking relationships the marijuana industry may move to alternate payment methods In the event banks and credit card processors do not accept accounts or transactions related to legal marijuana, it is possible that legal marijuana businesses will seek alternative payment solutions, including but not limited to digital currencies such as Bitcoin. There are risks inherent in Bitcoin, most notably its volatility and security issues, however absent a better solution, Bitcoin and or other digital currencies may become a viable option. If we were required to accept Bitcoin and or other digital currencies as payment for rent, we would have to adopt policies and protocols to manage the volatility risk and exchange rate procedures. If we are not able to successful manage the volatility and currency exchange of a digital currency, such as Bitcoin, our operations and financial condition may be materially effected.

39 EDGAR Histories 002 08/01/2016 Crypto on Wall Street, Part I Virtual Currencies Digital Currencies Search Concepts Cryptocurrencies We were incorporated on December 1, 2010 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our principal executive offices are located at Exchange, Ocho Rios, P.O., St. Anna, Jamaica, West Indies. Our telephone number is 876-975-5471. Our fiscal year end is January 31. We are only beginning our operations. We plan to specialize in the sales, marketing and distribution of Smart TV boxes to home consumers throughout the United States. Smart TV boxes are devices that allow consumers to combine all of the benefits of the Internet with the large size and high definition capabilities of TV screens in the comfort of consumersʼ living rooms. Our sole officer and director, Mr. David Bailey, does not have any significant training or experience in the sales and distributions of electronics or bringing such new products to market however, he has a keen interest in electronics and our Smart TV business.

Our company at this time, has not secured a deal and may not find a viable opportunity going forward but it would like to add this new line of business and technology to its existing line of SmartBox solutions. If we enter the Bitcoin space we will also seek professionals and management to run and operate this business. Potential opportunities in Bitcoin include involvement in the Bitcoin community for mining, development of supplying mining equipment, and the development of an online portal. With the value of Bitcoins recently going over $1,200, it makes sense to look at this growing industry. In addition, if we are successful in entering the Bitcoin business, we will also be looking at securing from manufacturers a line of high speed encryption processors for use in Bitcoin mining, research, telecommunication and security applications.

These competitors include digital wallet providers such as PayPal, AliPay and Amazon, merchants (via CurrenC, a merchant-owned mobile commerce network), mobile operator services, services such as mPesa, handset manufacturers, and cryptocurrencies. We compete with these providers in some circumstances, but in some cases they may also be our customers or partner with us. (Item 1)

The IAC Consumer Applications and Portals business offers branded search toolbars, including the MyWebSearch and Ask-branded toolbars. These toolbars enable users to run search queries from any website using one of several popular search algorithms, including those of Ask destination search websites. Many of these toolbars offer additional benefits, such as pop-up blocking and quick access to personalized portal content. These toolbars can be installed free of charge, with the MyWebSearch toolbar being promoted by distribution through FunWebProducts (as described below). In addition, distribution arrangements are in place with several third parties to bundle the Ask-branded toolbar with their downloadable applications, in which cases related revenues are generally shared (net of amounts retained by paid listing providers) with these third parties. The IAC Consumer Applications and Portals business also offers several free, downloadable applications that include search functionality, together with a number of features designed to make online activities more personal, interesting and fun. FunWebProducts offers a suite of these features, which include, among others, Smiley Central, through which users can add emoticons to e-mails and instant messages, Webfetti, through which users can personalize their pages on various social networking websites and Zwinky, through which users can create avatars to express their persona on the web and design and update profile pages to share with friends. Zwinky also provides users with access to Zwinktopia, a virtual world where the users' avatars can interact through chat and other features and can purchase virtual items with virtual currency.

In 2008 we began implementing premium fee-based content on our applications and may expand those offerings as time goes on. We will also consider converting several of our applications to a subscription-based pay model at some point in the next 12 months. Our decision to convert to a pay model and/or charge for premium content is dependent upon a variety of factors. Some of these factors include how much activity there is on the applications, the nature of the payment processing tools available on the underlying Social Networking websites, as well as our evaluation of the prioritization of revenue versus growth at the time. Each application will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis in light of the above factors. We have also begun exploring other revenue sources that have proven successful in the industry including the introduction of a “virtual currency” on several of our applications and the sale of premium “virtual goods,” and will consider incorporating these revenue sources into more of our applications in the future.

  • 22. 22 EDGAR Histories 002 08/01/2016 Crypto on Wall Street, Part I Digital Currencies Virtual Currencies Search Concepts Cryptocurrencies During the year, we enhanced our Membership Rewards® program with the introduction of new reward options designed to meet customer demand and provide Cardmembers with greater breadth and variety as well as utility. For example, we launched a new benefit that allows Membership Rewards points to be used for purchases on Amazon.com at the point of sale. In addition to this redemption option at Amazon, we have added a number of new partners to the program that give Cardmembers a broader range of opportunities to redeem points, such as Universal Studios Theme Parks, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Victoriaʼs Secret, Ruby Tuesday and Zynga. In addition, Cardmembers now have the ability to pay for their annual membership fee with Membership Rewards points. We believe our Membership Rewards point bank is a substantial asset and a competitive advantage, and is moving towards becoming a valued virtual currency. (Item 1)

In January 2014, we began accepting bitcoins as a form of payment for purchases on our website. Bitcoin is a digital currency that uses cryptography to control the creation and transfer of the currency between individual parties. Bitcoin is not considered legal tender or backed by any government.

A Bitcoin is a type of alternative currency known as a cryptocurrency, which uses cryptography for security. Bitcoin issuance and transactions are carried out collectively by the network, with no central authority, and allow users to make verified transfers. Bitcoin is an accepted form of payment by a growing, but still limited number of businesses, while governments and regulators are beginning to create more regulation and structure to legitimize it as a currency.

There are risks inherent in Bitcoin, most notably its volatility and security issues, however absent a better solution, Bitcoin and or other digital currencies may become a viable option. If we were required to accept Bitcoin and or other digital currencies as payment for rent, we would have to adopt policies and protocols to manage the volatility risk and exchange rate procedures. If we are not able to successful manage the volatility and currency exchange of a digital currency, such as Bitcoin, our operations and financial condition may be materially effected.

Our company at this time, has not secured a deal and may not find a viable opportunity going forward but it would like to add this new line of business and technology to its existing line of SmartBox solutions. If we enter the Bitcoin space we will also seek professionals and management to run and operate this business. Potential opportunities in Bitcoin include involvement in the Bitcoin community for mining, development of supplying mining equipment, and the development of an online portal. With the value of Bitcoins recently going over $1,200, it makes sense to look at this growing industry. In addition, if we are successful in entering the Bitcoin business, we will also be looking at securing from manufacturers a line of high speed encryption processors for use in Bitcoin mining, research, telecommunication and security applications.
