East Cost Diversified Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2015

(unaudited)

 

Note 1 – Organization, Presentation, and Going Concern

 

Organization

 

East Coast Diversified Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in Florida on May 27, 1994 as Plantastic Corp. In June 2003, the Company changed its name to East Coast Diversified Corporation from Lifekeepers International, Inc. and changed its domicile to Nevada.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2014 audited annual financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2015.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $22,483,357 at March 31, 2015, a net loss and net cash used in operations of $557,003 and $251,919, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan, generate revenues, and continue to raise additional investment capital.  No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans will afford the Company the opportunity to continue as a going concern.

Note 5 – Amounts Payable in Common Stock and Derivative Liability

(“Ironridge”) purchased $826,367 of accounts payable and $241,978 of loans payable, for a total of $1,068,345, from certain creditors of the Company. On April 20, 2012, the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Central District approved a Stipulation for Settlement of Claims (the “Settlement of Claims”) in the favor of Ironridge. The Settlement of Claims calls for the amount to be paid by issuance of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of the common stock is to be calculated based on the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock over the calculation period, not to exceed the arithmetic average of the individual daily VWAPs of any five trading days during the calculation period, less a discount of 35%. The calculation period is defined as the period from the approval of the Settlement of Claims until the settlement is completed.

 

As the terms of the settlement include issuing common stock at a 35% discount to the conversion price, a derivative liability for the discount was established at the time of the Settlement of Claims of $575,263. The derivative liability is revalued at the end of each reporting period with any change in the liability being charged to operations.

 

As common stock is issued in installments on the settlement, the Amounts Payable in Common Stock and the Derivative Liability will be reduced accordingly. No common stock was issued on the settlement during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports (collectively, the “Filings”) filed by East Coast Diversified Corporation (the “Company”) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2015, relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

 

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

 

Plan of Operation

 

Since acquiring EarthSearch in April of 2010, ECDC has embarked on developing its technology operations and improving its product offerings to the market. Two of the business divisions, “StudentConnect and EarthSearch” are now in commercial phase of the operations. Vir2o our social media division was launched in June 2014 and the recently concluded redesign is slated for a 2015 launch. To date, we have completed the development of two proprietary technologies, (i) wireless communications between GPS & RFID (comprising of several GPS, RFID and cargo locking devices) and (ii) “nVite” which is a proprietary environment sharing application for our social media division. Additionally, we developed several web assets, comprised of five proprietary “Software” for the operation and management of our businesses, the following list represents proprietary software owned by the company:

 

1.GATIS – Global Asset Tracking & Identification Systems
2.CARAS – Customs And Revenue Authority Systems
3.StudentConnect – Student Transportation System
4.SCAAP – StudentConnect Advertisement Aggregation Platform
5.Vir2o – Online Social Media Platform

 

EarthSearch

 

On February 15, 2014, we created a prototype for a modified and less expensive version of our Halo device called Halo2, which we believe will allow us to be more competitive in 2014. Our goal is to reenergize the EarthSearch basic GPS business with Halo2 and create a mass market solution for small businesses. We believe the product will allow us to be more competitive globally where cheaper Chinese products have created significant competition for our business.

 

In October 2014, we delivered our first order of 100 units of the Halo 2 to Halogen Security in Nigeria.

 

16
 

 

We entered into agreement with PassBox Global, in Jonesboro GA, to install our TrailerSeal on all of the containers it manufactured and sell globally beginning January 2015. An initial order of 40 container Seals, Humidity and Temperature Sensors were delivered under the agreement.

 

We began piloting our Oil Tanker solution for Dangote Group in Nigeria, and delivered the initial 20 units of oil tanker application under the pilot agreement

 

Began piloting our solution in Guatemala through local service provider, Localiza and are participating in the bid for electronic seal providers for the Guatemala Custom Agency.

 

We delivered the first order of 100 units of the Halo 2 to Halogen Security in Nigeria

 

StudentConnect

 

StudentConnect began commercial deployment in the first quarter of 2014. In February 2014, we deployed StudentConnect on school buses in school districts in Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky, California, and South Carolina. In addition, Texas, Florida and North Carolina engaged us to implement systems on their school buses. Our objective is to secure as many schools as we can through the end of the current school year and the summer break to generate revenue for the 2015 school year. We launch our StudentConnect mobile application in 2nd quarter and implement a mobile advertising platform that we believe will also help enhance revenue for StudentConnect. The StudentConnect mobile app can now be downloaded in the iOS and Google Play stores.

 

We executed an exclusive network access agreement and a marketing agreement with Verizon Wireless. Our StudentConnect devices will be implemented exclusively on Verizon network and Verizon government sales executives will market our StudentConnect product to school districts. We have engaged in successful joint marketing efforts to schools districts in Georgia.

 

We entered an advertising agreement with AdMedia which began serving advertisement on Student status messages on November 12, 2014. We will earn between $0.50 and $5.00 per ad click and $4.00 and $10.00 per thousand impression under the agreement. We will however continue to promote our proprietary Advertising platform SCAAP directly to businesses and Ad agencies in the districts we launch our services.

 

We have deployed the StudentConnect hardware and software at the following school districts under a 5 year service agreements:

·St Joseph School Antoura, Beirut, Lebanon
·Chattooga County School, GA
·Sanger Unified School district, CA
·Napa Valley Unified School District, CA
·Bassett County Unified School District, CA
·Logan County School District, KY
·Bamberg County School District, SC 

 

There are currently three school districts undergoing pilot testing and 5 schools districts currently in contract negotiations.

 

On January 15, 2014, we launched a licensing program for exclusive distributorship that would allow for rapid deployment of StudentConnect in key US and Global markets. We have successfully deployed our StudentConnect product on the Verizon Network. We completed sales training with Verizon government sales team.

 

We executed licensing agreements with the following:

 

Neuva Tech California

Smart1st –Licensee Lebanon

InGlobs, Lebanon - Regional Marketing and Service Support Rep for Middle East Region

 

We are in license negotiation with potential partners in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Bahrain.

 

Vir2o 

 

Vir2o, our social media division, has launched its first marketing campaign in the US and North America. We executed a promotional agreement with CBS local Atlanta Radio Station WVEE as the first beta test for our marketing strategy for North America. On April 15, 2014, we launched a Radio campaign on CBS Atlanta local Radio WVEE. If successful, we plan to introduce a similar strategy to key markets in North America to allow us to compete even more effectively in the social media space.

 

17
 

 

We plan to introduce commercial content and ecommerce into social media space. We have entered into agreement with Amazon, collegebooks.com and fanatics.com, an online retailer of sporting goods. We have begun integrating products from fanatics.com and collegebooks.com. Products from both of these companies became available to users in the marketplace on June 1, 2014.

 

We believe the future of social media is to deliver movies, music, and shopping, in a live, engaging and interactive way, for users, their friends and family. We believe Vir2o brings everything from the web to social media including online games, video, movies, shopping, and music and live broadcast. It is imperative that we form strategic alliances with content providers for our strategy to be successful.

 

In May of 2014, we secured a music licensing agreement with Medianet that will give us access to 28 million songs and allow us to offer free music channels to users on Vir2o funded through advertising revenue.

 

We have completed the redesign of Vir2o, however we have temporarily ceased all marketing activities related to Vir2o and will launch our new design in 2015. The current Vir2o design will remain available to users currently registered on the platform.

Advertising revenues were $1,022 and $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.  User fees were $9,480 and $7,671 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, operating expenses were $728,903 compared to $421,678 for the same period in 2014, an increase of 73%.

 

Cost of revenues increased $81,416 and is directly attributable to the increase in product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, selling, general and administrative expenses were $640,468 compared to $414,659 for the same period in 2013, an increase of 54%. This increase was primarily caused by an increase in fines on unpaid payroll taxes of $293.871 and offset by decreases in consulting fees of $36,273 and salary expenses of $13,300.

 

Net Loss

 

We generated net losses from continuing operations of $585,761 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $512,369 for the same period in 2014, an increase of 15%. Included in the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was interest expense of $54,955 (of which $23,078 represents accretion of embedded beneficial conversion features on notes payable).  Included in the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was interest expense of $108,798 (of which $97,519 represents accretion of embedded beneficial conversion features on notes payable).

 

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in EarthSearch were $28,758 and $4,492 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we funded our operations through financing activities consisting of private placements of equity securities and loans from related and unrelated parties. Our principal use of funds during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 has been for working capital and general corporate expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources during the Three Months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the Three Months ended March 31, 2014

 

As of March 31, 2015, we had cash of $1,180 and a working capital deficit of $5,632,110.  The Company generated a negative cash flow from operations of $251,919 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to cash used in operations of $212,497 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The negative cash flow from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is primarily attributable to the Company's net loss of $557,003, offset by noncash depreciation of $3,087, amortization of prepaid license fees of $12,500, accretion of beneficial conversion features on convertible notes payable of $23,078, accrued interest on loans payable of $19,373, changes in operating assets and liabilities of $275,804, and increased by noncontrolling interests in the loss of EarthSearch of $28,758.

  

The negative cash flow from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is primarily attributable to the Company's net income of $476,238, offset by noncash depreciation of $696, stock issued for services of $2,905, amortization of prepaid license fees of $12,500, accretion of beneficial conversion features on convertible notes payable of $97,519, accrued interest on loans payable of $11,279, changes in operating assets and liabilities of $175,783, and increased by a gain on disposal of discontinued operations of 984,115 and noncontrolling interests in the loss of EarthSearch of $4,492.

 

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $4,546 for capital expenditures compared to $-0- for the same period in 2014.

 

Cash generated from our financing activities was $241,311 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $216,463 during the comparable period in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributed to proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of $-0- in 2015 compared to $50,000 in 2014, proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock subscriptions of $-0- in 2015 compared to $43,000 in 2014, proceeds from loans payable of $240,500 in 2015 compared to $60,150 in 2014, and proceeds from loans payable – related parties of $811 in 2015 compared to $63,313 in 2014.

 

We will require additional financing during the current fiscal year. Our commercial activities has been significantly hampered and restricted due to ongoing chill placed on our stock trading by DTCC and difficulties with funding the last stages of development of our businesses.

 

We expect the continued successful commercialization of StudentConnect and EarthSearch business divisions to enhance our financial position and continued growth of the business operation. Management is reviewing all options that will enhance shareholders and investor value as well as the value of our business portfolio, in our efforts to mitigate the impact of the chill placed on our stock by DTCC.

 

Going Concern

 

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this conclusion by our independent auditors.

 

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

There is no assurance that our operations will be profitable. Our continued existence and plans for future growth depend on our ability to obtain the additional capital necessary to operate either through the generation of revenue or the issuance of additional debt or equity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

   

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

 

See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on April 15, 2015, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

  

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

   

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Company's management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act")) as of March 31, 2015. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Based on that evaluation, the Company's management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting 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.
