InNovember 2014 , the Company changed its name toPure Hospitality Solutions, Inc. During 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company deemed it in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to switch directions and become involved in the business of numismatics, specifically the collection and ultimately the sale of coins, paper currency, bullion and medals.
Having locations inCosta Rica andFlorida for the purposes of conveniently shipping products, the Company has the ability to export its inventory of coins, paper currency, bullion and medals fromCosta Rica , to be sold in theU.S. and around the world. Likewise, the Company also imports such products back toCosta Rica , to be sold throughout the local markets. The Company adheres to strict processes related to acquisition and sale of its products. It begins by selecting the best inventory, be it a rare coin fromLatin America , or a banknote with an error fromthe United States . Inventory is carefully screened by management, is then sent to be graded by the proper grading authority. For all coins, medals and bullion, the Company's inventory is sent to theNumismatic Guaranty Company for authentication and grading. For all banknotes, the Company utilizes the services ofPaper Money Guaranty, LLC for authentication and grading, bothFlorida -based companies. Once graded, the inventory is sent to the Company'sFlorida -based location prior to being sent to one of the Company's many customers around the world. Page 24 of 36 We maintain an online store with eBay (www.mesocoins.com) and participate in live auctions with major companies such as Heritage Auctions, Stacks Bowers Auctions, Lyn Knight Auctions and Sedwick Coins for the sale of its coins, paper currency, bullion and medals. The Company also launched a new application technology available on theGoogle Play Store , as well as theApple App Store . The Application is a banknote scanner which instantly identifies key characteristics of a banknote. This includes the catalog reference number of the note, the value, which entity it was issued by, the country of origin and the printer that printed the note. A picture of each note from our database of more than 61,000 banknotes from a combined 750 countries and regions will also be included with the information. For the numismatic industry in particular, this application eliminates the need for reference books, as well as the hours of time it takes to reference all the information about banknotes. With a simple snap of a picture, information is provided to the end-user almost instantaneously.Meso continues to acquire rare inventory at market rates, from throughout theMeso Region (includingCentral America and theCaribbean ). The inventory is then sent for authentication and grading, followed by said items being sold throughoutMeso's sales outlets. This includes an eBay store with up to, but not limited to,$50,000 in items for sale at any one time. For some of the Company's rarer inventory, items are sent to major auction houses around the world for sale. Results of Operations

Revenue is affected by the grade assigned to each coin or banknote. Once an item has been acquired it is sent for grading and authentication. Grading is the process of determining the grade or condition of the coin and banknote, which is the key factor in determining its value. Management carefully evaluates the grades assigned to each piece of merchandise and then decides which items will be sold through its eBay store, which items will be sold at live auction and which items will be traded for other items. Grade assigned will ultimately determine the sales price of the coin or banknote. As ofJune 30, 2021 , the Company is working on an inventory tracking system by serial number. Until such time as an inventory tracking system exists, the inventory costs cannot be properly confirmed and written-off to cost of revenue along with the cost of grading. Page 25 of 36 Gross profit
