PART I

 

ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

We are currently engaged in two segments of the beverage industry: (i) the functional beverage segment through our development and sale of non-alcoholic beverages to retail establishments and (ii) the craft brewing segment through our indirect interest in a World of Beer franchise restaurant that sells, among other items, beer to consumers. Our plan of operation during the next 12 months is to focus our management’s attention on the non-alcoholic single serving beverage business, developing and marketing milk based products in two fast growing segments: sports recovery and functional dairy. Our indirect subsidiary, Attitude Beer Holding Co. (“ABH”), which is now owned by our majority owned subsidiary Harrison, Vickers and Waterman Inc. (“HVWC”), is a 51% owner of a World of Beer franchise restaurant located in Connecticut and intends to establish additional franchise restaurants in other locations in Connecticut and the greater Boston area.

 

Recent Developments and Change in Business Model

 

On April 21, 2015, ABH and ABH’s other owners, Alpha Capital Anstalt, a company organized under the laws of Liechtenstein (“Alpha”) and Tarpon Bay Partners LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Tarpon Bay”), (collectively all three companies as shareholders of ABH), entered into a Purchase Agreement with HVWC pursuant to which the shareholders of ABH sold to HVWC all of the outstanding shares of stock of ABH, and ABH thereupon became a wholly owned subsidiary of HVWC. In consideration for the purchase of the shares of common stock of ABH, HVWC issued: (i) to us 51 shares of a newly created HVWC Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and a seven year warrant (the “B Warrant”) to purchase 5,000,000 shares of HVWC’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “HVWC’s Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $0.075 per share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments); (ii) to Alpha, a secured convertible note due April 20, 2017 (the “Secured Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of $1,619,375, a seven year warrant (the “Alpha Warrant”), to purchase 1,295,500,000 shares of HVWC’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0025 per share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments), and an additional investment right (“AIR”) to purchase up to $3,750,000 in additional notes (the “AIR Note”) and corresponding warrants (“the “AIR Warrant”); and (iii) to Tarpon, a Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of $554,791.67, a seven year warrant (the “Tarpon Warrant”) to purchase 443,833,333 shares of HVWC’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0025 per share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments), and an AIR to purchase up to $1,250,000 in additional notes and corresponding AIR Warrants.  In addition, Alpha acquired 32,300 shares of the HVWC’s Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 32,300,000 shares of HVWC’s Common Stock) from HVW Holdings LLC (an entity of which Mr. James Giordano, HVWC’s prior Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, is the managing member), subject to the terms of a Purchase Agreement (the “Series A Purchase Agreement”). We purchased 87,990,000 shares of HVWC’s Common Stock from HVW Holdings LLC at a price of $65,000, subject to the terms of a Purchase Agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) thereby making us the majority owner of HVWC. We will consolidate 100% of HVWC’s financial results after April 21, with the recording of applicable minority interest eliminations.

 

From the formation of ABH on December 1, 2014 until April 21, 2015, we were the majority holder of the outstanding equity of ABH (we held 87.5% of the outstanding common stock of ABH and Alpha and Tarpon Bay held 9.9% and 2.6%, respectively, of the outstanding common stock of ABH) and the active manager of ABH, accordingly for the year ended March 31, 2015, the financial results of ABH were consolidated into our overall financial statements with the recording of any minority interest related activities.

The Functional Beverage Business. 

We currently sell a milk-based protein drink, branded as “Phase III® Recovery,” which is available in chocolate and vanilla flavors with expectation to produce a banana flavor in 2016. Phase III® Recovery is designed for the third phase of exercise, the “after phase” of before, during and after. This product is the first milk-based protein drink we believe ever to be produced in the U.S. and is shelf-stable with a twelve (12) months long shelf life. We completed development of our, “Phase III® Recovery” product, in 2010 and began selling this product in February 2010, which was introduced to address the growing need for sophisticated, exercise recovery solutions while offering a natural protein/carbohydrate ratio optimal for fitness recovery. This product contains 35 grams of protein that are naturally inherent in ultra-filtered milk. The product is packaged as a retort processed shelf stable dairy-based 100% milk based sports recovery drink, in a new state of the art, eco-friendly convenient re-sealable 14.5 ounce aluminum bottles. We began distribution of this product in early 2010. Storage, distribution and sale of this product can be done at room temperature while our current retail presence is predominantly in coolers. We do not directly manufacture our products but instead outsource the manufacturing process to a third party contract packer. Our co-packer for our dairy based product is O-AT-KA Milk Products Cooperative, Inc. in Batavia, New York and has the most advanced retort processor and know-how to produce this product with state-of-the-art milk filtration systems as well as the packaging of this product in new Ball Container aluminum eco-friendly re-sealable bottles. The primary target for Phase III Recovery® is active sports minded males and females from ages 15 to 35, but we will target active sports and exercise consumers at all levels. Gyms, sports teams, body builders and even high-endurance athletes are all beginning to focus on sports recovery drinks which we consider the “next generation” sports drink. We anticipate the development of other dairy based drink products in 2016, depending upon available capital As our company grows and matures, a disruption or delay in production of any of such products could significantly affect our revenues.

 

To date we have derived $53,196 in net revenue from the sale of our “Phase III® Recovery” product. Our ability to estimate demand for our products is imprecise and may be less precise during periods of rapid growth, particularly in new markets. If we materially underestimate demand for our products or are unable to secure sufficient ingredients or raw materials, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis.

 

We developed our first product which was a “healthful” energy drink called VisViva™ in 2008. This particular product was formulated as a juice blend with our proprietary IQZOL™ energy formula in 12 ounce “slim” cans. This additive blend provided a unique energy boost with low calories, carbohydrates and caffeine levels, thereby revolutionizing the energy experience derived from energy drinks. Production began in January 2008 with the first generated sales in late March 2008. Our initial co-packer for the VisViva ™ product was Carolina Beer & Beverage LLC in Mooresville, North Carolina. We stopped the production and sale of the VisViva™ product during 2010 to focus on production of our “Phase III® Recovery” product. We do intend, however, to consider reintroducing this product as a “focus drink” when the market is favorable and when available capital is available, possibly in 2016.

 

Other products to be considered in the future will be Blenders™ ’Meal on the Move’ which is expected to be a lactose free milk based meal replacement in various flavors. This product is expected to be developed and marketed in 2016, depending on available capital.

 

We organized a Scientific Advisory Board of three well known experts that have extensive experience in sports nutrition. This board is helpful in communicating the scientific benefits of our sports recovery drink as well as new functional milk drinks. Their contacts in the world of sports will be very important in our sales efforts, especially in the early days.

 

Attitude Beer Holding Co. (World of Beer) 

On December 24, 2014, we entered into a joint venture agreement with New England WOB, LLC (“NEWOB”), ABH (“ABH”), Glenn E. Straub (“Straub”) and James D. Cecil (“Cecil”). NEWOB entered into an Area Development Agreement with World of Beer Franchising, Inc which is in the business of entering into franchise agreements with third parties to own and operate World of Beer themed bar/restaurants. NEWOB developed a World of Beer franchise in Stamford, Connecticut as well as West Hartford, Connecticut. Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture agreement, ABH was granted the right to participate in any World of Beer franchise that NEWOB proposes to develop. ABH has the option to become a 51% owner of any new World of Beer franchise if it contributes 100% of the budgeted development costs of developing such new World of Beer franchise locations. NEWOB manages the operations of each World of Beer franchise location. The financial results of each World of Beer franchise location will be consolidated into the overall results of ABH which in turn will be consolidated into the overall results of HVWC subsequent to its acquisition of ABH and our financial statements until such date. All applicable minority interest related items will be recorded for proper consolidations and reported results for Attitude’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Also on December 24, 2014, ABH acquired a 51% equity interest in the West Hartford, Connecticut World of Beer franchise location, which is a 4,000 sq. foot tavern that sells a selection of over 500 craft and imported beers along with tavern food and other spirits and cocktails. New England World of Beer holds franchise rights for the right to develop World of Beer franchise locations in all of Connecticut and Massachusetts. ABH also obtained an option for two years to purchase 51% of the Stamford, Connecticut World of Beer franchise location that was opened earlier in 2014. To date, the option has not been exercised.

ABH expects to actively pursue the development of other World of Beer franchise locations in the state of Connecticut and the greater Boson areas with our joint venture partner, New England WOB LLC. Since opening its first tavern in Tampa, Florida in 2007, World of Beer has grown to over 80 locations in 20 states. What began as a neighborhood tavern to sample great craft beers and swap beer-talk for co-founders Scott Zepp and Matt LaFon is becoming a unique cultural phenomenon celebrating the world of craft beers, great food and camaraderie. Centered on a diverse selection of local and global craft beers, delicious “tavern fare” and live music, World of Beer offers the best craft variety on the planet to the beer aficionado and casual beer fan alike. Additional information can be found by visiting the World Beer website at www.worldobeer.com

 

World of Beer restaurants feature a family friendly environment that offers over 500 imported and craft beers, 50 beers on tap plus a wide variety of menu items. The restaurant creates a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere that includes a multi-media system, a full beer and spirit bar and an open layout, which is designed to appeal to sports fans and families alike. We believe that the World of Beer restaurant differentiates its dining experience from those at other restaurants by appealing to a wide demographic base. First, for any beer aficionado, they can sample all sorts of brews not commonly found in a welcoming social environment. Second, for the sports fans, they can find their favorite event on a wide variety of televisions. Third, for any family group that is looking for a dining experience that is different from typical restaurants, the restaurant allows its guests to customize their experience to meet their time demands and experience requirements. The restaurant gains acceptance through other World of Beer locations throughout the country. The concept is further strengthened by the restaurant’s emphasis on operational excellence supported by operating guidelines and employee training.

 

The joint venture is expected to be a growth enterprise that tailors its restaurants to meet the needs of its target demographic base. To implement its strategy, the joint venture intends to

 

Identify, invest in and develop new locations;

Continuously develop and deliver unique guest experiences;

Create an inviting neighborhood atmosphere;

Focus on operational excellence;

Increase same-store sales, average unit volumes, and profitability.

  

ABH’s joint venture (JV) with NEWOB is expected to originally concentrate in the New England area where ABH believes its strategy is most likely to take hold. The JV has developed procedures for identifying new opportunities, determining its expansion strategy in those areas and developing sites for franchised restaurants and taverns. The current growth strategy is to continue to open franchised locations.

 

In New England, the JV plans to continue to open new restaurants and taverns until a market is penetrated to a point that enables it to gain marketing, operational, cost and other efficiencies. The JV intends to have a franchise system through the development of new locations.

 

Along with planned unit growth, the JV is focused on innovating its customer experience in order to enhance each visit to its establishment and strengthen brand loyalty by customizing its menu for specific events that it believes will draw a particular crowd (e.g. - Daytona 500) as well as combining foods with specific beer promotions (e.g. - Bavarian pretzels with German lager promotions).

 

The World of Beer menu is standard for most items throughout all locations, but there are typically some specialty items added for local tastes and preferences that vary based upon specific promotions or sporting events. The typical menu includes “Tavern shares” which are appetizers that include onion rings, shrimp and potatoes. Entrees include traditional bar fare such as hamburgers, salads and desserts.

 

The West Hartford restaurant and tavern features a full bar which offers an extensive selection of over 500 different local, regional and imported bottle beer selections and craft and favorite beer on 50 rotating taps as well as popular and craft wine and spirits. NEWOB periodically introduces new menu items in order to improve the experience. The strategy is to balance the established menu offerings that appeal to loyal guests with new menu items that increase guest frequency and attract new guests.

 

The restaurants and taverns are “open layouts” which provide for complete visibility for patrons. The open layout, combined with the detailed selection of beers, we believe makes for an excellent experience that combines a friendly atmosphere, sporting events and its outstanding beer selection. ABH strives to provide a high-energy atmosphere where friends can gather for camaraderie and to celebrate competition, as well as allow guests the flexibility to customize their dining experience. The inviting and energetic environment of the restaurant is designed using furnishings that can be easily rearranged to accommodate parties of various sizes. The restaurant and tavern also features distinct dining and bar areas.

 

The site selection process is integral to the successful execution of ABH’s growth strategy. Criteria examined include key demographics, population density and other measures. The JV examines site-specific details including visibility, signage, access to main roads and parking. New England WOB LLC’s managing directors have many years of commercial real estate development and broad business experience as entrepreneurs, operators as well as having managed numerous businesses and commercial real estate ventures.

All franchise agreements will be subject to approval of World of Beer Franchising Inc. and will require that each franchised location operate in accordance with their defined operating procedures, adhere to the established menus, meet applicable quality, service, health and cleanliness standards and comply with all applicable laws.

 

The West Hartford store utilizes a standard point-of-sale system which tabulates sales as well as items sold. The restaurant has daily reporting of revenues and expenses plus inventory on hand.

 

The restaurant industry is intensely competitive. ABH competes on the basis of the taste, quality and price of food offered, guest service, ambience, location and overall guest experience. We believe that the restaurant’s attractive price-value relationship, the atmosphere of the restaurant, the sports viewing experience, the focus on guests and the quality and distinctive flavor of our food enable ABH to differentiate itself from its competitors. We believe ABH competes primarily with local and regional sports bars and national casual dining and quick casual establishments and to a lesser extent with quick service restaurants. Many of its direct and indirect competitors are well-established national, regional or local chains, and some have greater financial and marketing resources than ABH’s does.

 

In House Intellectual Property 

We have a trademark for Phase III® from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that was registered December 28, 2010.

 

While working on trademark and brand development for the dairy platform of functional drinks and protein delivery, we were approached by the owners of the entire intellectual property portfolio once developed and commercialized at Bravo Brands, Inc., a public company where Roy Warren (our CEO and director), Tommy Kee (our CFO) and Mike Edwards (our director) were previously employed. On August 8, 2008, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with RFC BB Holdings, LLC (seller) and issued them a $507,500 secured convertible promissory note to purchase the right, title, trademarks and interest to this intellectual property portfolio, notably “Slammers” and “Blenders”. As these particular brands have been marketed and sold in the past, it is anticipated that these products can be reintroduced into the market much quicker and less expensive than developing a brand new product. The entire $507,500 note has been converted into shares of common stock.

 

Production Contracts/Administration 

Our operations are only in the United States and are run directly by our subsidiary, Attitude Drink Company, Inc. (“ADC”) which also is the operating company. On December 16, 2008, the ADC signed a manufacturing co-packing agreement with O-AT-KA Milk Products Cooperative, Inc. for the production of our latest product, Phase III® Recovery and future new dairy-based products. The manufacturer is obligated to manufacture, package and ship such products. ADC pays for all shipping of the products F.O.B., the facility, as title of the products is passed to the receiver once products are delivered and received on premise.

 

Industry Trends 

The Functional Beverage Market

  

Milk, while the second highest beverage consumed in America in terms of overall volume, is still under-represented in the American single serve ready-to-drink beverage industry. While known for generations by nutritionists and more recently identified by sports, hydration, metabolism and protein professionals and scientists as “mother nature’s most perfect food”, milk has yet to be successfully branded and commercialized.

  

We are an innovative beverage brand-development company that was formed to exploit the accelerating shift in beverage consumption patterns of Americans. Consumers are embracing two distinct trends which have redefined the ever-growing single serve beverage industry. First, consumers representing all demographics are purchasing fewer “empty-calorie”, sugar sweetened, carbonated beverages, a trend that has continued for the last ten years. Second, and according to the May, 2015 edition of Beverage World, in the Back-to-basics functionality section, “consumers are growing wary of some functional claims, and that is beginning to shape the functional drink market. Consumers are increasingly looking for beverages to deliver more than just taste and refreshment; namely some kind of functionality. Within functional drinks, the new “it” ingredient is “protein” We believe consumers are demanding drinks with functionality, delivering either nutritional or experiential impact. During recent years, we have seen beverage consumers demonstrate a growing willingness to pay significant premiums for these functional beverages, while exhibiting passionate brand loyalty to the chosen brands.

 

Management has extensive experience innovating functional products and helped pioneer the milk-based platform of this beverage “revolution” previously at Bravo! Brands Inc. During that time, management worked with Coca-Cola Enterprises to launch branded milk beverages nationwide. We enjoy strategic relationships, know-how, creativity and perspective in this space. We believe that the two platforms that we will address, sports recovery and functional dairy, represent the fastest growing, most innovative and highest priced drinks ever seen in the beverage industry.

Craft Brewing Market

Craft brewing is indeed booming in the United States. The demand for more flavorful beers is much higher. The 2015 beer drinker is more knowledgeable, more adventurous and sophisticated and does not hesitate to pay premium prices for a premium product. The Brewers Association point out that on a per capital basis, the United States is still underserved by existing craft brewers. There are more beer drinkers than wine drinkers. The average craft beer drinker earns about $75,000 income and when they go out for the evening, they are seeking a pub with 50 beers on tap, supporting ABH’s decision to develop and manage World of Beer franchise taverns in the New England area which attracts millions of visitors each year who look to partake in the local flavors including craft beers. We believe that the World of Beer locations will have what these customers want, both major and craft brands.

 

Market Analysis:

 

Protein beverages

According to “Back-to-basics functionality” data from the Beverage World edition for May, 2015, “Ready-to-drink protein beverages are seeing strong growth and Euromonitor International puts the U.S. RTD protein beverage market at $550 million. The segment is forecast to see 50 percent growth through 2018, Euromonitor says.” Well-documented nutritional benefits bode well for protein’s continued growth. Energy shots have not fared as well and the segment seems to be already a mature one, with sales declines the past two years. “Sports drinks saw a slight uptick last year” at .2% volume growth (per May 2015 Beverage World). We believe there will be many more variations in flavor claims, packaging and messaging as ways for brands in this category to grow.

 

Jessica Jacobsen, editor of Beverage Industry released a research on May 12, 2015. In the research, she listed some interesting comments from other key analysts in the beverage industry. “Howard Telford, beverage analyst for Chicago-based Euromonitor International, notes that the U.S. sports drink market began to slow in 2012 and was essentially flat in 2013.” “The category has been subject to a confluence of external pressures with consumers open to exiting the category--- for other hydration-focused packaged beverages,” he says which we believe favor our Phase III® Recovery products. “Consumers have shied away from high-sugar, high-calorie packaged beverages over the past two years,” Telford says and continued “But despite the pressure they are facing from these outside categories, sports drinks still have opportunities to re-engage consumers. There is considerable opportunity for ’natural’ alternative recovery and hydration beverages,” Telford explains.

 

Jessica Jacobsen continued to present her findings on comments from Elizabeth Sisel, beverage analyst for Chicago-based Mintel. “When it comes to sports drinks, two brands are synonymous with the category: Gatorade and Powerade. According to Sisel, Purchase, N.Y.-based PepsiCo Inc’s Gatorade brand and Atlanta-based The Coco-Cola Co.’s Powerade brand accounted for 96 percent of the category for the 52 weeks ending Nov. 3, 2013. For the non-aseptic sports drink segment, the two accounted for 99 percent in IRI-measured channels ending March 23, 2014. Gatorade makes up nearly 78 percent of that share.”

 

Further reports from Jessica Jacobsen on “Protein, please” stated that “Sports drinks aren’t the only ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages that consumers are turning to in order to support their active, healthy lifestyles. According to Chicago-based The NPD Group’s “Protein Perceptions and Needs” report, 78 percent of U.S. consumers say that protein is important for a healthy diet. However, they are split on what the best sources of protein are, with half naming non-meat sources and the other half naming meat. Those non-meat sources included eggs, yogurt, nuts and seeds, but consumers also are finding favor in protein drinks. Smaller than the sports drinks category, nutritional drinks, including meal replacement beverages, accounted for less than half of the sales of sports drinks in 2013 at $3.2 billion, according to Mintel’s January report “Nutritional and Performance Drinks – US. Even smaller than that was protein drinks, with $2.1 billion in sales in 2013; however, this is a 51.2 percent increase from 2011 when sales were $1.4 billion the report notes. Protein RTDs within the sports nutrition category are growing strongly, says Euromonitor’s Chris Schmidt, consumer health analyst. Their push into mainstream retailers and an increasing focus on lifestyle and functional nutrition branding – as opposed to hardcore sports recovery – along with the glowing praise heaped on protein by the popular media, is driving growth in both relatively mature and emerging markets. Schmidt notes that Euromonitor defines protein drinks as beverages that contain 20 or more grams of protein and are positioned for sports performance and recovery.” In continuation, “Schmidt notes that although RTD protein drinks have gained a bigger following n the past few years, the segment appeals more to everyday consumers versus hard-core athletes because of the price difference compared with protein powders.”

Craft Beer and World of Beer franchise restaurants and taverns

According to the May, 2015 edition of Beverage World, “craft beer may only hold 11% of the U.S. market in terms of volume, but craft brewers dominate when you look at the number of operating breweries in the U.S. Craft by the numbers: total retail dollar value, $19.6 billion; dollar share of beer, 19.3%; total number of craft breweries, 3418; number of breweries in planning as of December 31, 2014, 2,051; number of brewery openings in 2014, 615; number of brewery closings in 2014, 46; and increase in number of breweries 2013/14, +19%. The overall U.S. beer market posted modest growth of about 0.5% last year; now that craft commands 11% volume share (and 19.3% dollar share) of the total category, it’s starting to have an impact on the industry’s growth trajectory. Craft is playing a much larger role in keeping total beer volume in the black.” Additional statistics reflected in the same Beverage World edition are as follows:

 

2014 CRAFT BEER STYLES
RANKED BY U.S. $ SHARE
         
 Dollar share of       2014 
 top styles   Segment   growth 
           
 22.7%  India Pale Ale (IPA)   +46.9% 
 16.6%  Seasonal   +9.9% 
 10.6%  Pale ale   +10.1% 
 7.8%  Variety   +20.3% 
 5.7%  Amber ale   +5.7% 
 4.9%  Amber lager   +1.7% 
 4.0%  Bock   +5.4% 
 27.7%  All others     

 

We believe that the drinking age is more willing to pay more for something new and perceived as higher quality than what their parents drank. Brand loyalty is perceived to be replaced by style. World of Beer franchises are expected to meet that demand as well as providing a social and active lifestyle with its consumers. Beverage World even states that “the craft spirits segment isn’t slowing down; if it continues on its current trajectory expect the number of small distilleries in the U.S. to surpass 1,000 by the end of 2017.” We expect the improvement in economy to also improve the growth of this industry.

 

Market Segment Strategy 

Our future strategy will be to directly develop our products in the two fast growing segments: sports recovery and functional milk. We produced our first product, VisViva™ which is an energy drink; however, we are not currently producing that product as we have decided to focus our attention initially on our Phase III® Recovery product. Phase III® Recovery is our second product which is a protein sports recovery drink. We expect to develop two to three new products in the next two to three fiscal years, depending on available capital.

  

We know from experience that the largest retailers of milk products are demanding new and more diverse refreshment drinks, thus our response to consumer interest and demand with our dairy based product, “Phase III® Recovery” that was introduced in early 2010.

 

We also will continue to seek other territories for the development of additional World of Beer franchises.

 

Competition 

The beverage industry is highly competitive. The principal areas of competition are pricing, packaging, development of new products and flavors and marketing campaigns. Our products will compete with a wide range of drinks produced by a relatively large number of manufacturers, any of which have substantially greater financial, marketing and distribution resources than we do.

 

Important factors affecting our ability to compete successfully include taste and flavor of products, trade and consumer promotions, rapid and effective development of new, unique cutting edge products, attractive and different packaging, branded product advertising and pricing. We will also compete for distributors who will concentrate on marketing our products over those of our competitors, provide stable and reliable distribution and secure adequate shelf space in retail outlets. Competitive pressures in the sports beverage market could cause our products to be unable to gain market share, or we could experience price erosion, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results.

 

We compete not only for customer acceptance but for maximum marketing efforts by multi-brand licensed bottlers, brokers and distributors, many of which have a principal affiliation with competing companies and brands. Certain large companies such as The Coca-Cola Company and Pepsico Inc. market and/or distribute products in that market segment such as Muscle Milk® and other protein beverages.

  

Our subsidiaries’ entry into development of new World of Beer franchises is new to us and is subject to the usual learning curve that is common among new developments. There is a large competition with other restaurant and/or bar establishments in the Northeast, specifically Connecticut and Boston, for customers and patrons. Our restaurants must outperform its competition, provide customers with the best value, service and satisfaction for their dining and drinking experiences.

Marketing

Management believes that the impact of the internet and the enhanced communication systems that it has enabled have dramatically changed the way we live our lives today. There is vastly improved access to information, and the public is bombarded with messages that have diminished the value and impact of traditional media advertising. There have been increases in interest in protein RTD “ready to drink” beverages.

 

Based on available capital, strong emphasis will be placed on public relations initiatives in an effort to capture and maintain consumer awareness. Validation of the advanced science behind each introduced brand will provide clear and reliable messaging behind each functional line. Carefully developed and executed focus groups will also be conducted, designed to raise awareness about the true functionality and lifestyle enhancement offered with each innovative line. We plan to focus on gorilla and grass roots marketing programs, investing in sponsorships and spokespeople in venues of competitive sports activities. This strategy allows promoters to develop brand essence, communicate directly with spectators and participants and promote trial with consumers directly. This marketing approach, best executed by the Red Bull energy drink brand, escapes the filters that consumers use to reduce messaging. When executed properly, as Red Bull has, this technique defines the brand image while consumers embrace the branding as trend setting entertainment. In addition, we intend to continue participating in nationwide events and programs supporting the unique causes.

 

Each World of Beer franchise store contributes funds to the overall marketing programs and campaigns of corporate World of Beer. These grouped marketing campaigns are expected to greatly spread the message about World of Beer stores over a much broader territory and increase brand awareness and value of the World of Beer name. In addition, we believe that social media will greatly aid efforts to attract customers to the restaurants as well as the promotion of local events and activities.

 

Government Regulation

The production, distribution and sale in the United States of many of our products are subject to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act; the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994; the Occupational Safety and Health Act; various environmental statutes; and various other federal, state and local statutes and regulations applicable to the production, transportation, sale, safety, advertising, labeling and ingredients of such products.

 

Measures have been enacted in various localities and states that require that a deposit be charged for certain non-refillable beverage containers. The precise requirements imposed by these measures vary. Other deposit, recycling or product stewardship proposals have been introduced in certain states and localities and in Congress, and we anticipate that similar legislation and regulations may be proposed in the future at the local, state and federal levels, both in the United States and elsewhere.

 

We do not expect that compliance with these provisions will have a material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, net income or competitive position.

 

The World of Beer locations are governed by state and local government regulatory agencies for the sale of alcohol.

 

Our History

We were formed in Delaware on May 10, 1988 under the name of L.H.M. Corp which later became Mason Hill Holdings, Inc. On September 19, 2007, we acquired Attitude Drink Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ADCI”), under an Agreement and Plan of Merger among Mason Hill Holdings, Inc., MH 09122007, Inc. and ADCI. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of ADCI common stock was converted into 40 shares of Company common stock, resulting in the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) with ADCI deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and Attitude deemed to be the legal acquirer. On September 30, 2007, we changed our name to Attitude Drinks Incorporated. Our wholly owned subsidiary, ADCI, was incorporated in Delaware on June 18, 2007. Our principal executive offices are located at 11231 U.S. Highway 1, #201, North Palm Beach, Florida 33408. The telephone number is 561-227-2727. Our company’s common stock shares (PINX: ATTD) began trading in June 2008. Our fiscal year ends on March 31th.

 

Employees

As of March 31, 2015, we currently have forty-eight full time employees as four individuals are employed at our corporate office. In addition, 44 of the total full time employees are employed at the World of Beer franchise location in West Hartford, Connecticut.

 

Research and Development

 

Over the last two years, we spent approximately $6,600 and $5,205, respectively, on research and development activities related to the Phase III® Recovery products. All costs were borne by us.

ITEM 2 - DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY 

 

Corporate office

 

On February 7, 2013, we moved to our current office at 712 U.S. Highway 1, Suite 200, North Palm Beach, Florida 33408 from our previous address at 10415 Riverside Drive, Suite 101, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410. We entered into a three-year lease that began on February 1, 2013 with two (2) year renewable terms with a termination date of January 31, 2016. The total minimum monthly base rent including operating expense for March 31, 2015 is $4,370 (excluding certain variable operating expenses and taxes), and the lease provides for annual 3% increases throughout its term. The lease covers 3,333 square feet and includes our right of first refusal to contiguous space. During late 2014, we had a disagreement with our landlord as they filed a motion in the circuit court of Palm Beach County, Florida to enforce a settlement for past due fees. We contest some of the amounts as we were forced to vacate the premises in an unsatisfactory limited amount of time which we had to abandon some of our office furniture and inventory. We now have a new mailing address of 11231 U.S. Highway, #201, North Palm Beach, Florida 33408.

On September 3, 2009, a final judgment by default was approved by the district court in Denton County, Texas for a total sum of $22,348. This claim has been recorded on the Company’s records.

On May 28, 2014, we entered into a settlement agreement with Terrano to pay him a total of $11,000, to be remitted 60 days of the effective date of this agreement.

We do not have any other outstanding balance that is recorded on our records. On August 6, 2014, we received a Default Final Judgment from Palm Beach County Circuit Court in Florida for a total amount of $23, 411. We are still contesting that amount and will resolve the matter as soon as possible.

ITEM 6 - SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

  

EXECUTIVE LEVEL OVERVIEW

  

Our Business Model

  

Phase III

  

Our plan of operation during the next 12 months is to continue the implementation of market and sales promotion programs to gain awareness of our “Phase III® Recovery drink in new markets as well as to build a national sales campaign throughout key markets in the west coast, southwest, Midwest, southeast and northeast parts of the United States. We plan to build an aggressive and experienced sales team to bring the brand to discerning consumers. In addition, we intend to increase our efforts to sell our products online and through increased social media marketing. Our management will continue to focus on the non-alcoholic single serving beverage business, developing and marketing milk based products in two fast growing segments: sports recovery and functional dairy. We do not directly manufacture our products but instead outsource the manufacturing process to a third party contract packer.

  

The pricing and gross profit margin for the products will vary. Each product delivers different functionality and utilizes different types of packaging and package sizes. Without exception, these products are expected to command premium pricing due to the functionality and value-added formulation and will therefore be priced according to the nearest competitive brands in their respective spaces. The functional milk drinks are also expected to command approximately the same percentage margin due to the premium pricing commanded by the experiential functionality. Singles should obtain higher margin than multi-packs.

World of Beer

 

As already stated, ABH and its joint venture partners of New England WOB, LLC, anticipate developing new World of Beer franchise locations throughout its protected territories in Connecticut and greater Boston, Massachusetts. It is anticipated that ABH will provide the financing for construction of these stores, and New England WOB, LLC will provide the real estate location search and development as well as manage the operations of each store. 

 

World of Beer is an organization of over 80 company owned and franchised craft taverns and growing in 20 states. Most World of Beer locations provide a selection of over 500 unique craft and imported beers, modern tavern fare spirits and craft cocktails and a complete entertainment experience including live music, sports viewing, seasonal and local celebrations and highly trained servers with in-depth beer knowledge. ABH’s first World of Beer location is located in West Hartford, Connecticut which opened in late January, 2015. The West Hartford location is a 4,000 square foot tavern and serves lunch and dinner daily and hosts live music performances on Friday and Saturday nights. New England World of Beer, LLC opened its first store in Stamford, Connecticut in 2014 as ABH has an option with a 2 years life to purchase 51% of this store as that option has not been exercised.

 

Celebrating the popularity of craft beer and its culture, ABH and New England WOB, LLC plan to develop and build other World of Beer franchises in key market areas in the state of Connecticut and in certain areas in Massachusetts with primary emphasis in the greater Boston areas. Depending on available financing and market conditions, we will seek other territories to expand in the future as well. New England World of Beer, LLC is an expert in commercial real estate development and restaurant/bar operations and management and has broad business experience as entrepreneurs, operators and developers, having managed numerous businesses and commercial real estate ventures. The planned stores will be built in areas where we believe these operations will command premium pricing and respectable profit margins.

  

ABH’s future plan of operations for the World of Beer franchises is to continue the search, development and operations of World of Beer franchises throughout the state of Connecticut and the greater Boston areas over the next few years, especially in that we have these protected territories. Its joint venture partners are commercial real estate developer specialists and based on the availability of financing, plan to aggressively to build and open as many World of Beer locations as financing will allow. The West Hartford, Connecticut store which opened in late January, 2015 has exceeded expectations and budgets and is profitable since the opening date. Future new taverns are projected to be at least 4,000 square feet and have one of the world’s widest selections of craft beers, bottled and on tap with more than 500 bottles and 50 rotating taps. The stores will serve lunch and dinner daily with dishes inspired by international flavors such as Giant Bavarian Pretzels, Guinness Brat Sliders and the Chimay Burger. The taverns will host live music performances on Friday and Saturday nights each weekend. The taverns will also provide signature craft spirit cocktails, ciders, wine along with nonalcoholic beverages. ABH is expected to continue the World of Beer theme as being uncommon establishments where the experience is as essential as the products. 

  

Plan of Operations

 

We are continuing to seek other sources of financing to develop our business plan, implement our sales and marketing plan and to meet other operational expense requirements and to find and develop new World of Beer locations. Historically, we have had to rely on convertible debt financings to cover operating costs. Based on the available cash, we have no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding to sustain our limited operations. If we do not obtain additional funding, we may need to cease operations until we do so and, in that event, may consider a sale of the rights to our product line(s) and intangible assets such as our trademarks or a joint venture partner that will provide funding to the enterprise. We may also need to sell our interest in the World of Beer locations if we do not continue to obtain the proper financing for our needs. However, certain of our Attitude Drinks Incorporated convertible debt obligations totaling $6,208,842 and ABH convertible debt obligations for $1,204,500 are secured by Attitude’s assets. Failure to fulfill our obligations under these notes and related agreements could lead to the loss of these assets, which would be detrimental to our operations. 

 

Our future operations are totally dependent upon obtaining additional funding. Past fundings have been subject to defaults by the company’s inability to meet due dates for certain notes payable, thereby triggering anti-dilution rights which created the need to issue additional shares of common stock and/or additional warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock in order to extend the applicable due dates for certain notes payable. There can be no assurance that these defaults will not happen again in the future, thereby creating the potential need for additional issuances of shares of common stock and/or warrants, assuming the holders agree to further extensions.

 

We will consider equity and/or convertible debt financings, either or both of a private sale or a registered public offering of our common stock; however, at this time and with the current economy, it seems unlikely that we can obtain an underwriter.

  

We anticipate that, depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the future based mainly on the fact that we may not be able to generate enough gross profits from our sales to cover our operating expenses and to increase our sales and marketing efforts. Our “Phase III® Recovery” drink product was introduced in early 2010 and based on historical spending, we anticipate a need of funding in the range of $1,500,000 to $1,700,000 for the next twelve months to meet our business plan and operating needs only. This figure does not include any new product research and development activities.

This discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most critical estimates included in our financial statements are the following:

 

Financial Instrument Valuation 

 

In estimating the fair value of our derivative financial instruments that are required to be carried as liabilities at fair value pursuant to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the period ended March 31, 2015, we use all available information and appropriate techniques including outside consultants to develop our estimates. However, actual results could differ from our estimates.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments 

 

We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, we have and will frequently enter into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements and freestanding warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty to a financing transaction. As required by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements. However, in the past, we were allowed to elect fair value measurement of the hybrid financial instruments, on a case-by-case basis, rather than bifurcate the derivative for all of our previous convertible notes up to February 21, 2013 when we issued new consolidated exchange convertible notes under different terms and language. We believed that fair value measurement of the hybrid convertible promissory notes arising from our various financing arrangements provided a more meaningful presentation of that financial instrument; however, as just previously mentioned on February 21 2013, we consolidated all the past outstanding convertible notes into new consolidated exchange notes that contained different language and eliminated many of the toxic elements listed in the old convertible notes. 

 

We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered to be consistent with the objective measuring of fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique(s), we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that such instruments embody and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as free-standing warrants, we generally use the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation technique, since it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms and risk free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. For complex hybrid instruments, such as convertible promissory notes that include embedded conversion options, puts and redemption features embedded in them, we generally use techniques that embody all of the requisite assumptions (including credit risk, interest-rate risk, dilution and exercise/conversion behaviors) that are necessary to fair value these more complex instruments. For forward contracts that contingently require net-cash settlement as the principal means of settlement, we project and discount future cash flows applying probability-weightage to multiple possible outcomes. After consulting with a new outside valuation firm, we found that many companies are using other valuation models, primarily the lattice model to bifurcate the derivative and record the derivatives at fair value. We elected to use this new valuation model for the new consolidated notes because that model would value all convertible notes based on a probability weighted scenario model and future projections of the various potential outcomes on all assumptions, observable inputs and inherent valuation of risk, The embedded derivatives that were analyzed and incorporated into our model included the conversion feature with the variable market based conversion and the default provisions. This lattice model analyzed the underlying economic factors that influenced which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time (i.e. interest rates, stock price, conversion price, etc.). Projections were then made on these underlying factors which led to a set of potential scenarios. Probabilities were assigned to each of these scenarios based on management projections. This led to a cash flow projection and a probability associated with that cash flow. A discounted weighted average cash flow over the various scenarios was completed, and it was compared to the discounted cash flow of the 2 year 4% instrument without the embedded derivatives, thus determining a value for the compound embedded derivatives at the point of issue. These derivative liabilities need to be marked-to-market each reporting period with the change in fair value to be recorded in the profit/loss statement. Fair value is defined as the amount for which an asset (or liability) could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, unrelated willing parties when neither party is acting under compulsion.

Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock, which has a high-historical volatility.

  

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

  

Our long-lived assets consist principally of intangible assets, and to a much lesser extent, furniture and equipment. We evaluate the carrying value and recoverability of our long-lived assets when circumstances warrant such evaluation by applying the provisions of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. We did note record any impairment expense for the years ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014,

  

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In August, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an ASU that contained guidance for the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no impact on the Company through the adoption of this update as the Company has always provided such required disclosures on doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year.

 

In November, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an ASU that contained guidance about derivatives and hedging and determining whether the host contract in a hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share is more akin to debt or to equity. There are predominantly two methods used in current practice by issuers and investors in evaluating whether the nature of the host contract within a hybrid instrument issued in the form of a share is more akin to debt or to equity. This ASU is to eliminate the use of different methods in practice. As the Company utilizes the services of an outside professional specialty firm for such valuations, the Company believes there is no change needed for this update.

 

In February, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an ASU that contained guidance about Consolidation (Topic 810) and amendments to the consolidation analysis. These provisions provide amendments to limited partnerships and similar legal entities. As the Company owns the 51% majority of the World of Beer location in West Hartford which is an LLC corporation, the Company believes there is no change needed for this update.

All revenues were generated in the United States. The increase in our revenues for the year ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the prior year ended March 31, 2014 is the result of opening the first World of Beer tavern in late January, 2015. Phase III revenues were lower for the year ended March 31, 2015 by 65.1% mainly due to the fact that we no longer sell our products in the Florida Walgreens’ stores.

  

Slotting fees are common in the large store channels and represent cash payments made for rights to place our products on customer retail shelves for a stipulated period of time. A component of our growth plan includes increasing penetration in the large store channel which may be subject to future slotting fees. We recorded a total of $875 for slotting fees for the year ended March 31, 2014 only. As part of opening and operating a new World of Beer location, we provided certain free complimentary drinks and services to customers in the amount of $15,749 for the reporting period from late January, 2015 through March 31, 2015.

  

Based on available capital, we, on our own or through our subsidiaries, plan to increase our revenues during the next twelve months by implementing marketing and sales promotion programs to introduce our “Phase III® Recovery” drink to new markets in the 2015 calendar year, developing a sales force, securing additional national distributors, expanding our products offering, developing and opening new World of Beer taverns, increasing our volume per outlet and implementing new grass roots marketing and sample programs.

  

The computation of the percentage of expenses to revenues is not meaningful at this time and is not representative of expected future operations.

  

Product and shipping costs for the Phase III products for the year ended March 31, 2015 were less than the year ended March 31, 2014 mainly due to the lower sales of the Phase III® Recovery products.

Attitude Drink Company Inc. and Attitude Drinks Incorporated:

  

Administrative salaries, taxes and employee benefit costs

For the year ended March 31, 2015, total expenses of $695,336 were lower by $187,970 (21.3%) over last year’s comparable figures of $883,306 mainly due to fewer employees caused by a lack of financing

  

Administrative consulting fees

Consulting fees of $322,462 for the year ended March 31, 2015 were $9,962 or 3.2% higher than last year’s figures. These fees relate to the use of an outside financial services consulting firm.

  

Other administrative and general expenses

For the year ended March 31, 2015, total expenses of $129,634 were $151,301 (53.9%) less than last year’s comparable figures of $280,935 mainly due to decreased activities from a lack of financing. These expenses mainly relate to rent expense for $54,951, board of directors accrued fees of $36,000, filing fees for $16,022 and telephone costs for $13,583.

  

Administrative marketing and promotion expenses

For the year ended March 31, 2015, we incurred total administrative marketing and promotion expenses of $25,555 as compared to $52,659 for the year ended March 31, 2014 for a decrease of $27,104 or (51.5%). This decrease was due primarily to the decision to spend fewer marketing dollars for the year ended March 31, 2015 due to limited resources and capital.

  

Administrative professional and legal fees

These costs related to the use of outside legal, accounting and auditing firms. Total costs for the year ended March 31, 2015 of $17,251 were $178,820 (91.2%) lower than the previous year’s comparable costs of $196,071 mainly due to lower legal requirement costs and lower audit fees accruals due to reduced financial activities.

  

Stock compensation expense

For the year ended March 31, 2015, we recorded stock compensation expense of $84 due to the issuance of warrants for Attitude Beer Holding Co. as compared to $26,997 for the issuance of 10,000,000 fully vested non-qualified common stock options for the year ended March 31, 2014.

ABH (World of Beer):

 

Restaurant/tavern salaries, taxes and employee benefit costs

As this location was opened in late January, 2015, there are no comparable costs for 2014. These costs relate to all of the payroll and tax expenses for operating the West Hartford World of Beer location.

  

Restaurant/tavern other administrative and general expenses

These costs relate to the new World of Beer franchise location in West Hartford, Connecticut that opened in late January, 2015. The key expenses relate to: rent expense for $31,850, royalties to corporate World of Beer for $36,540, management fees for $29,232, utility costs for $13,414, credit card processing fees for $14,949, disposal fees for $10,083, marketing fees for $10,962, music and entertainment costs for $9,865, personal property taxes for $9,000 and the rest for restaurant cleaning costs plus, travel expense from our joint venture partners for $8,671 for the initial setup of the location. There are no comparable costs for 2014.

  

Depreciation and amortization

For the year ended March 31, 2015, we recorded depreciation and amortization expense for $37,154 as compared to $7,687 for the year ended March 31, 2014 for a difference of $29,467. The increase is due to the new World of Beer location that opened in late January, 2015 in West Hartford, Connecticut for the depreciable fixed assets and amortized deferred pre-opening expenses.

  

Other Income (Expense)

 

Interest income/(expense)

The following table summarizes the effects on our income (expense) associated with changes in the fair values of our financial instruments that are carried at fair value from the twelve months ended March 31, 2015 and the twelve months ended March 31, 2014:

         
   Twelve  Months   Twelve  Months 
   ended   ended 
   March 31, 2015   March 31, 2015 
Our financing arrangements giving ris to derivative financial instruments and the income effects:          
           
Total interest income/(expense) arising from fair value adjustments  $185,817   $3,426,344 
Amortization of debt expense/accretion   (3,512,756)   (1,492,964)
Other interest expense   (432,444)   (397,978)
   $(3,759,383)  $1,535,402 

  

Our financial instruments that are recorded at fair value will change in future periods based upon changes in our trading market price and changes in other assumptions and market indicators used in the valuation techniques.

  

Interest and Other Financing Costs:

We recorded interest expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 for $3,759,383 and interest income for $1,535,402 for the year ended March 31, 2014 in connection with our debt obligations at interest rates from 10% to 15%. The change of ($5,294,785) over the prior fiscal year was attributed to the recording of debt instruments at fair value (debt discount expense) due to the changes in the stock price. We recorded the amortization of debt discounts for $3,512,756 and $1,492,964 for the years ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively.

  

Minority Interest

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, we recorded minority interest in the amount of $21,596 which represents the elimination of 49% profit of the West Hartford World of Beer location as well as 12.5% for the expense of Attitude Beer Holding Co. as these percentages represent minority ownership interests in both companies.

  

Net Loss

We reported a net loss for the year ended March 31, 2015 of ($5,030,873) and a net loss of $212,015 for the year ended March 31, 2014. The majority of the expenses for the year ended March 31, 2015 related to salary related costs, consulting fees, general and administrative fees and recognition of interest income reflecting the changes in the fair value of the convertible debts. Most of the costs incurred in the prior year ended March 31, 2014 related to salary related costs, consulting fees, professional and legal fee and recognition of interest income reflecting changes in the fair value of the convertible debts.

Loss per Common Share Applicable to Common Stockholders  

The Company’s basic and diluted loss per common share applicable to common stockholders for the period ended March 31, 2015 was $(0.01), and the basic and diluted loss per common share for the period ended March 31, 2014 was $(0.00). Because the Company experienced a net loss for the period ended March 31, 2015, all potential common share conversions existing in our financial instruments would have an anti-dilutive impact on earnings per share; therefore, diluted loss per common share equals basic loss per common share for this period. The weighted average common shares outstanding for the period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were 625,605,503 and 102,827,957, respectively for the basic and diluted loss calculation.

  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  

We have yet to achieve any substantial revenues or profitability, and our ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent upon us receiving additional third party financings to fund our business at least throughout the next twelve months in our new fiscal year. Ultimately, our ability to continue is dependent upon the achievement of profitable operations. We anticipate that, depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the future based mainly based on the fact that we may not be able to generate enough gross profits from our sales to cover our operating expenses and to increase our sales and marketing efforts. There is no assurance that further funding will be available at acceptable terms, if at all, or that we will be able to achieve profitability or receive adequate funding for new product research and development activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Working Capital Needs and Major Cash Expenditures

 

We currently have monthly working capital needs of approximately $125,000 to $150,000. This amount is, however, expected to increase in the next fiscal year, primarily due to the following factors:

   
Increased employees, sales consultant and related travel costs
Required interest payments on our convertible promissory notes payable
Increased product development costs for new products, packaging and marketing materials

Information about our cash flows

 

   For The Year Ended 
   March 31,   March 31, 
   2015   2014 
Cash provided by (used in):          
           
Operating activities  $1,076,364   $(732,940)
           
Investing activities  $(1,256,355)  $(4,365)
           
Financing activities  $392,967   $750,505 

 

For the year ended March 31, 2015, we reported a net loss of $5,030,873 which was affected by recording the fair value adjustment of the convertible notes for $185,817, offset by the amortization of debt discount for $3,512,756 as well as changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses for $2,489,463. Cash flows generated from our operating activities were inadequate to cover our cash disbursement needs as we had to rely on new convertible debt financings and bridge loans to cover operating costs. Cash used by investing activities were attributed mainly to the purchase of equipment and operating expenses related to the opening of the World of Beer restaurant and tavern. Cash provided by financing activities increased due to the proceeds from the issuance of additional convertible debt financings and short-term bridge loans payable for net proceeds of $392,967.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2014, we reported a net loss of $212,015 which was affected by recording the fair value adjustment of the convertible notes for $3,359,968, offset by the amortization of debt discount for $990,842 as well as changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses for $1,426,981. Cash flows generated from our operating activities were inadequate to cover our cash disbursement needs as we had to rely on new convertible debt financings and bridge loans to cover operating costs. Cash used by investing activities were attributed mainly to the purchase of a company vehicle. Cash provided by financing activities increased due to the proceeds from the issuance of additional convertible debt financings and short-term bridge loans payable for net proceeds of $750,505.

Defaults for Short-Term Non-Convertible Loans for the Year Ended March 31, 2015:

 

At March 31, 2015, two short-term bridge notes for a total of $115,000 were past due. One of these notes is held by one of our Board of Directors and will extend the due date once we locate the other debt holder.

 

Debt restructuring program after 3/31/15 reporting date

 

Our subsequent events section reflects reductions of our liabilities of $10,052.591. The restructuring relates to a reduction of overall notes and loans payables of $5,079,480, total salaries payable of $3,546,669, accrued interest payable for $1,288,483 and accounts payable of $137,959. Total gains to our statement of operations from this restructuring program will be $5,834,709. These results will be reflected in the Form 10-Q for June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015.

CERTAIN BUSINESS RISKS:

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed below, together with all the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this report and in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, before deciding whether to purchase any of our securities. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Relating to Our Business

 

We have a history of operating losses. If we continue to incur operating losses, we eventually may have insufficient working capital to maintain or expand operations according to our business plan.

 

As of March 31, 2015, we had a total shareholders’ deficit of $16,942,378 and a working capital deficit of $17,997,151, compared to a total shareholders’ deficit of $12,335,519 and a working capital deficit of $12,266,740 at March 31, 2014. Cash and cash equivalents were $233,591 as of March 31, 2015 as compared to $20,615 at March 31, 2014. The main contributing factor to the working capital deficit was primarily attributable to the changes in the fair value calculations for the valuation of our convertible notes payable as well as changes in the derivative liabilities.

 

Our auditors have expressed doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.. Our auditor’s report reflects substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. For the foreseeable future, we will have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of equity or debt offerings we may have and cash on hand.  Although we plan to pursue additional financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure financing when needed or obtain such financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, or that any additional funding we do obtain will be sufficient to meet our needs in the long term. Obtaining additional financing may be more difficult because of the uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.  If we are unable to secure additional financing in the future on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to complete planned development of certain products.

 

To date, we have generated no material product revenues. Our operating losses have negatively impacted our liquidity, and we are continuing our efforts to develop new products, while focusing on increasing net sales. However, changes may occur that would consume our existing capital at a faster rate than projected, including, among others, the progress of our research and development efforts and hiring of additional key employees. If we continue to suffer losses from operations, our working capital may be insufficient to support our ability to expand our business operations as rapidly as we would deem necessary at any time, unless we are able to obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to pursue our business objectives and would be required to reduce our level of operations, including reducing infrastructure, promotions, personnel and other operating expenses. These events could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. If adequate funds are not available or if they are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund the growth of our operations, take advantage of opportunities, develop products or services or otherwise respond to competitive pressures, could be curtailed or significantly limited. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the sale of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders. If we are unable to achieve profitability, the market value of our common stock will decline, and there would be a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

 25 

 

 

At March 31, 2015, we were in default on certain of our short-term bridge loans and convertible note payables.

 

At March 31, 2015, we were in default on short term bridge notes totaling $115,000 in principal. One of the two note holders is on our Board of Directors and will extend the due date once we locate the other note holder which we have been doing for some time. The remedy for default under the notes is acceleration of principal and interest due thereunder. In addition, we were in default on certain convertible note payables in the total amount of $5,695,142. Further, we have other secured convertible notes outstanding totaling $1,718,200 in principal face value at March 31, 2015. We are implementing a restructuring program and working with our investors to extend these maturity dates. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue to extend these obligations. Penalties for default under our convertible notes include but are not limited to acceleration of principal and interest and default interest rates from 15% up to 20%.

 

Defaults on these obligations could materially adversely affect our business operating results and financial condition to such extent that we may be forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sell assets or cease operation. Further, certain of these obligations are secured by our assets. Failure to fulfill our obligations under these notes and related agreements could lead to the loss of these assets, which would be detrimental to our operations. Our main assets relate to ABH’s assets in the World of Beer location in West Hartford, Connecticut. If we lose those assets, we would have a very difficult time conducting our business..

 

We may not be able to develop successful new beverage products which are important to our growth.

 

An important part of our strategy is to increase our sales through the development of new beverage products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to develop, market and distribute future beverage products that will have market acceptance. The failure to continue to develop new beverage products that gain market acceptance could have an adverse impact on our growth and materially adversely affect our financial condition. Further, we may have higher obsolescent product expense if new products fail to perform as expected due to the need to write off excess inventory of the new products.

 

Our results of operations may be impacted in various ways by the introduction of new products, even if they are successful, including the following:

 

  sales of new products could adversely impact sales of existing products;
     
  we may incur higher cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses in the periods when we introduce new products due to increased costs associated with the introduction and marketing of new products, most of which are expensed as incurred; and
     
  when we introduce new platforms and bottle sizes, we may experience increased freight and logistics costs as our co-packers adjust their facilities for the new products.

 

The beverage business is highly competitive.

 

The premium and functional beverage drink industries are highly competitive. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources than we do. Competitors in these industries include bottlers and distributors of nationally advertised and marketed products, as well as chain store and private label drinks. The principal methods of competition include brand recognition, price and price promotion, retail space management, service to the retail trade, new product introductions, packaging changes, distribution methods and advertising. We also compete for distributors, shelf space and customers primarily with other premium beverage companies. As additional competitors enter the field, our market share may fail to increase or may decrease.

 

The growth of our revenues is dependent on acceptance of our products by mainstream consumers.

 

We have limited resources to introduce our products to the mainstream consumer. As such, we will need to increase our sales force and execute agreements with distributors who, in turn, distribute to mainstream consumers at grocery stores, club stores and other retailers. If our products are not accepted by the mainstream consumer, our business could suffer.

 

 26 

 

 

Our failure to accurately estimate demand for our products could adversely affect our business and financial results.

 

We may not correctly estimate demand for our products. Our ability to estimate demand for our products is imprecise, particularly with new products, and may be less precise during periods of rapid growth, particularly in new markets. If we materially underestimate demand for our products or are unable to secure sufficient ingredients or raw materials including, but not limited to, containers, labels, flavors or packing arrangements, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis. Moreover, industry-wide shortages of certain ingredients have been and could, from time to time in the future, be experienced, which could interfere with and/or delay production of certain of our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results. We do not use hedging agreements or alternative instruments to manage this risk.

 

The loss of our third-party distributors could impair our operations and substantially reduce our financial results.

 

We continually seek to expand distribution of our products by entering into distribution arrangements with regional bottlers or other direct store delivery distributors having established sales, marketing and distribution organizations. Many distributors are affiliated with and manufacture and/or distribute other beverage products. In many cases, such products compete directly with our products.

 

The marketing efforts of our distributors are important for our success. If our brands prove to be less attractive to our existing distributors and/or if we fail to attract additional distributors and/or our distributors do not market and promote our products above the products of our competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Inability to secure co-packers for our products could impair our operations and substantially reduce our financial results.

 

We rely on third parties, called co-packers in our industry, to produce our products.  We currently have only one co-packing agreement for our products and at this time have only one milk-based product commercially available (Phase III® Recovery). Our co-packing agreement with our principal co-packer was signed on December 16, 2008 and had an initial term of three (3) years which has now expired. This agreement is automatically renewed for consecutive one (1) year periods (next renewal date of December 16, 2015) unless either party provides notice of cancellation at least one hundred twenty (120) calendar days prior to the end of the initial term or subsequent extension period. Our dependence on one co-packer puts us at substantial risk in our operations. If we lose this relationship and/or require new co-packing relationships for other products, we may be unable to establish such relationships on favorable terms, if at all. Further, co-packing arrangements with potential new companies may be on a short term basis, and such co-packers may discontinue their relationship with us on short notice.  Our dependence on co-packing arrangements exposes us to various risks, including:

 

  if any of those co-packers were to terminate our co-packing arrangement or have difficulties in producing beverages for us, our ability to produce our beverages would be adversely affected until we were able to make alternative arrangements; and
     
  our business reputation would be adversely affected if any of the co-packers were to produce inferior quality products.

 

We compete in an industry that is brand-conscious so brand name recognition and acceptance of our products are critical to our success.

 

Our business is substantially dependent upon awareness and market acceptance of our products and brands by our targeted consumers. In addition, our business depends on acceptance by our independent distributors of our brands as beverage brands that have the potential to provide incremental sales growth rather than reduce distributors’ existing beverage sales. We believe that the success of our product name brands will also be substantially dependent upon acceptance of our product name brands. Accordingly, any failure of our brands to maintain or increase acceptance or market penetration would likely have a material adverse affect on our revenues and financial results.

 

We compete in an industry characterized by rapid changes in consumer preferences and public perception so our ability to continue to market our existing products and develop new products to satisfy our consumers’ changing preferences will determine our long-term success.

 

Consumers are seeking greater variety in their beverages. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our continued ability to develop and introduce different and innovative beverages. In order to retain and expand our market share, we must continue to develop and introduce different and innovative beverages and be competitive in the areas of quality and health, although there can be no assurance of our ability to do so. There is no assurance that consumers will continue to purchase our products in the future. Additionally, many of our products are considered premium products and to maintain market share during recessionary periods, we may have to reduce profit margins, which would adversely affect our results of operations. Product lifecycles for some beverage brands and/or products and/or packages may be limited to a few years before consumers’ preferences change. The beverages we currently market are in their early lifecycles, and there can be no assurance that such beverages will become or remain profitable for us. The beverage industry is subject to changing consumer preferences, and shifts in consumer preferences may adversely affect us if we misjudge such preferences. We may be unable to achieve volume growth through product and packaging initiatives. We also may be unable to penetrate new markets. If our revenues decline, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

 

 27 

 

 

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly because of the seasonality of our business.

 

As our products are relatively new, there may be seasonality issues that could cause our financial performance to fluctuate. In addition, beverage sales can be adversely affected by sustained periods of bad weather.

 

Our business is subject to many regulations, and noncompliance is costly.

 

The production, marketing and sale of our unique beverages, including contents, labels, caps and containers, are subject to the rules and regulations of various federal, provincial, state and local health agencies. If a regulatory authority finds that a current or future product or production run is not in compliance with any of these regulations, we may be fined, or production may be stopped, thus adversely affecting our financial conditions and operations. Similarly, any adverse publicity associated with any noncompliance may damage our reputation and our ability to successfully market our products. Furthermore, the rules and regulations are subject to change from time to time and while we closely monitor developments in this area, we have no way of anticipating whether changes in these rules and regulations will impact our business adversely. Additional or revised regulatory requirements, whether labeling, environmental, tax or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We face risks associated with product liability claims and product recalls.

 

Other companies in the beverage industry have experienced product liability litigation and product recalls arising primarily from defectively manufactured products or packaging. Our co-packer maintains product liability insurance insuring our operations from any claims associated with product liability. This insurance may or may not be sufficient to protect us. We do not maintain product recall insurance. In the event we were to experience additional product liability or product recall claim, our business operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls, and we cannot provide assurances that these weaknesses will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.

 

If our internal control over financial reporting or our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results, prevent fraud, or file our periodic reports in a timely manner, which may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and may lead to a decline in our stock price. Our most recent evaluation of our internal controls resulted in our conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures and that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. In our case, our failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to be unable to produce reliable financial reports or prevent fraud. This may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

 

Our intellectual property rights are critical to our success; the loss of such rights could materially, adversely affect our business.

 

We regard the protection of our trademarks, trade dress and trade secrets as critical to our future success. We have registered our trademarks in the United States that are very important to our business. We also own the copyright in and to portions of the content on the packaging of our products. We regard our trademarks, copyrights and similar intellectual property as critical to our success and attempt to protect such property with registered and common law trademarks and copyrights, restrictions on disclosure and other actions to prevent infringement. Product packages, mechanical designs and artwork are important to our success, and we would take action to protect against imitation of our packaging and trade dress and to protect our trademarks and copyrights, as necessary. We also rely on a combination of laws and contractual restrictions, such as confidentiality agreements, to establish and protect our proprietary rights, trade dress and trade secrets. However, laws and contractual restrictions may not be sufficient to protect the exclusivity of our intellectual property rights, trade dress or trade secrets. Furthermore, enforcing our rights to our intellectual property could involve the expenditure of significant management and financial resources. There can be no assurance that other third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our trademarks and similar proprietary rights. If we lose some or all of our intellectual property rights, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

 

 28 

 

 

If we are not able to retain the full time services of our management team, including Roy G. Warren, it will be more difficult for us to manage our operations and our operating performance could suffer.

 

Our business is dependent, to a large extent, upon the services of our management team, including Roy G. Warren, our founder and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. We depend on our management team, but especially on Mr. Warren’s creativity and leadership in running or supervising virtually all aspects of our day-to-day operations. We do not have a written employment agreement with any member of our management team or Mr. Warren. In addition, we do not maintain key person life insurance on any of our management team or Mr. Warren. Therefore, in the event of the loss or unavailability of any member of the management team to us, there can be no assurance that we would be able to locate in a timely manner or employ qualified personnel to replace him. The loss of the services of any member of our management team or our failure to attract and retain other key personnel over time would jeopardize our ability to execute our business plan and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We need to manage our growth and implement and maintain procedures and controls during a time of rapid expansion in our business.

 

If we are to expand our operations, such expansion would place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources.  Such expansion would also require improvements in our operational, accounting and information systems, procedures and controls.  If we fail to manage this anticipated expansion properly, it could divert our limited management, cash, personnel, and other resources from other responsibilities and could adversely affect our financial performance.

 

Our business may be negatively impacted by a slowing economy or by unfavorable economic conditions or developments in the United States and/or in other countries in which we may operate.

 

A general slowdown in the economy in the United States or unfavorable economic conditions or other developments may result in decreased consumer demand, business disruption, supply constraints, foreign currency devaluation, inflation or deflation. A slowdown in the economy or unstable economic conditions in the United States or in the countries in which we operate could have an adverse impact on our business results or financial condition. Currently we do not have any international operations.

 

The beneficial ownership of a significant percentage of our common stock gives Roy Warren and members of his family effective control of us and limits the influence of other shareholders on important policy and management issues.

 

Roy Warren, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board, through his control of 51% of our voting stock, has control over our company and important matters relating to us. As a result he can control the outcome of all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including the election of our directors, our business strategy, our day-to-day operations and any proposed merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This control of our company could discourage the acquisition of our common stock by potential investors and could have an anti-takeover effect, preventing a change in control of our company that might be otherwise beneficial to our shareholders, and possibly depressing the trading price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that conflicts of interest will not arise with respect to Roy Warren’s ownership and control of our company or that any conflicts will be resolved in a manner favorable to the other shareholders of our company.

 

Certain provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and our bylaws may have anti-takeover effects which may make an acquisition of our company by another company more difficult.

 

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination, including mergers and asset sales, with an interested stockholder (generally, a 15% or greater stockholder) for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. The operation of Section 203 may have anti-takeover effects, which could delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt that a holder of our common stock might consider in its best interest.

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that permit us to issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and, with respect to each such series, to fix the number of shares constituting the series and the designation of the series, the voting powers, if any, of the shares of the series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the shares of such series.

 

These provisions on our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may have anti-takeover effects, which could delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt that a holder of our common stock might consider in its best interest.

 

Certain of our officers may have a conflict of interest and lack of availability.

 

Some of our officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, are currently working for the Company on a part-time basis and are the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Harrison Vickers and Waterman Inc. These officers have discretion to decide what time they devote to our activities, which may result in a lack of availability when needed due to responsibilities at other jobs.

We do not have an audit committee.

 

While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, we currently do not have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert which is an important entity-level control over the Company’s financial statements.

 

Risks Related to the World of Beer operations

 

If ABH is unable to identify and obtain suitable new franchises sites and successfully open new franchises, our revenue will suffer and profits may be reduced.

 

ABH requires that all proposed franchise sites meet certain site selection criteria. ABH may make errors in selecting these criteria or applying these criteria to a particular site, or there may be an insignificant number of new sites meeting these criteria that would enable us to achieve our planned expansion in future periods. ABH faces significant competition from other restaurant companies and retailers for sites that meet its criteria, and the supply of sites may be limited in some markets. Further, ABH may be precluded from acquiring an otherwise suitable site due to an exclusivity restriction held by another tenant. As a result of these factors, costs to obtain and lease sites may increase, or ABH may not be able to obtain certain sites due to unacceptable costs. ABH’s inability to obtain suitable sites at reasonable costs may reduce our income growth.

 

To successfully expand its business, ABH must open new World of Beer restaurants on schedule and in a profitable manner. In the past, World of Beer franchisees have experienced delays in restaurant openings, and may experience similar delays in the future. Delays in opening new sites could hurt ABH’s ability to meet its growth objectives, which may affect our results of operations and thus our stock price. We cannot guarantee that ABH or any future franchisees will be able to achieve its expansion goals. Further, any sites that it opens may not achieve operating results similar or better than the existing restaurant. If ABH is unable to generate positive cash flow from a new site, it may be required to recognize an impairment loss with respect to the assets for that restaurant. ABH’s ability to expand successfully will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond its control. These factors include:

 

·Negotiating acceptable lease or purchase terms for new sites;
·Cost effective and timely planning, design and build-out of sites;
·Creating Guest awareness of our restaurants and taverns in new markets;
·Competition in new and existing markets;
·General economic conditions.

 

The restaurants and taverns may not achieve market acceptance in the new regions ABH enters.

 

ABH’s expansion plans depend on opening restaurants and taverns in markets starting with New England where it has little or no operating experience. ABH may not be successful in operating in locations in new markets on a profitable basis. The success of these new locations will be affected by the different competitive conditions, consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns of the new markets as well as ABH’s ability to generate market awareness of its brands. Sales at locations opening in new markets may take longer to reach profitable levels, if at all.

 

New restaurants added to existing markets may take sales from existing restaurants.

 

ABH intends to open new restaurants and taverns in its existing market, which may reduce sales performance and guest visits for existing location. In addition, new locations added in existing markets may not achieve sales and operating performance at the same level as established restaurants in the market.

 

A security failure in ABH’s information technology systems could expose us to potential liability and loss of revenues.

 

ABH accepts credit and debit card payments at our restaurant. A number of retailers have recently experienced actual or potential security breaches in which credit and debit card information may have been stolen, including a number of highly publicized incidents with well-known retailers. The intentional, inadvertent or negligent release or disclosure of data by ABH or its service providers could result in theft, loss, fraudulent or unlawful use of customer data which could harm its and our reputation and result in remedial and other costs, fines or lawsuits.

 

Shortages or interruptions in the availability and delivery of food and other supplies may increase costs or reduce revenues.

 

Possible shortages or interruptions in the supply of food items and other supplies to a location(s) caused by inclement weather, terrorist attacks, natural disasters such as floods, drought and hurricanes, pandemics, the inability of vendors to obtain credit in a tightened credit market, food safety warnings or advisories or the prospect of such pronouncements, or other conditions beyond ABH’s control could adversely affect the availability, quality and cost of items it buys and the operations of its restaurants. ABH’s inability to effectively manage supply chain risk could increase costs and limit the availability of products critical to the restaurant operations.

 

 30 

 

 

There are general risks associated with the restaurant and bar/tavern industry.

 

Restaurants are a very cyclical business. Specific factors that impact economic recessions can negatively influence discretionary consumer spending in restaurants and bars and result in lower customer counts as consumers become more price conscientious, tending to conserve their cash amid unemployment and other economic uncertainty. The effects of higher gasoline prices can also negatively affect discretionary consumer spending in restaurants and bars. Increasing costs for energy can affect profit margins in many other ways. Petroleum based material is often used to package certain products for distribution. In addition, suppliers may add fuel surcharges to their invoices. The cost to transport products from the distributors to restaurant operations will rise with each increase in fuel prices. Higher costs for electricity and natural gas result in higher costs to a) heat and cool restaurant facilities, b) refrigerate and cook food and c) manufacture and store food at ABH’s locations.

 

Inflationary pressure, particularly on food costs, labor costs (especially associated with increases in the minimum wage) and health care benefits, can negatively affect the operation of the business. Shortages of qualified labor are sometimes experienced in certain local economies. In addition, the loss of any key executives could pose a significant adverse effect on ABH and us.

 

If consumer confidence in the business deteriorates, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

The restaurants are built on consumers’ confidence in the World of Beer brand. As a consumer business, the strength of the brand and reputation are of paramount importance to ABH and us. A number of factors could adversely affect consumer confidence in the brand, many of which are beyond ABH’s control and could have an adverse impact on its and our results of operations. These factors include:

 

    any regulatory action or investigation against it or us;
       
    any negative publicity about a restaurant in the World Of Beer franchise; and
       
   

any negative publicity about our restaurants. 

       

In addition, ABH is largely dependent on the other World of Beer franchisees to maintain the reputation of its brand. Despite the measures that it puts in place to ensure their compliance with its performance standards, ABH’s lack of control over its operations may result in the low quality of service being attributed to the brand, negatively affecting its and our overall reputation. Any event that hurts its or our brand and reputation among consumers as a reliable services provider could have a material adverse effect on its and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

ABH faces substantial competition in our target markets

 

The restaurant industry is highly competitive, and many of the competitors are substantially larger and possess greater financial resources than ABH and us. Our restaurant(s) have numerous competitors, including national chains, regional and local chains, as well as independent operators. None of these competitors, in the opinion of our management, is dominant in the family-style sector of the restaurant industry. In addition, competition continues to increase from non-traditional competitors such as supermarkets that not only offer home meal replacement but also have in-store dining space trends that continue to grow in popularity.

 

The principal methods of competition in the restaurant industry are brand name recognition and advertising; menu selection and prices; food quality and customer perceptions of value, speed and quality of service; cleanliness and fresh, attractive facilities in convenient locations. In addition to competition for customers, sharp competition exists for qualified restaurant managers, hourly restaurant workers and quality sites on which to build new locations.

 

The restaurant and bar industry is very competitive, and ABH faces competition from large national chains as well as individually owned restaurants. Large chains such as Buffalo Wild Wings have a similar open style that appeals to sports fan and family demographics. There are additional restaurants that feature custom beers. Many of these competitors have substantially more resources than ABH and us which allow them to have economies of scale allowing them price points which compare favorably to ABH’s price points. They also have the ability to market their restaurants given their sheer size which ABH does not possess. All of these factors may make it difficult for ABH and us to succeed.

 

 31 

 

 

Unfavorable publicity could harm ABH’s and our business.

 

Multi-unit restaurant businesses such as ABH’s business can be adversely affected by publicity resulting from complaints or litigation or general publicity regarding poor food quality, food-borne illness, personal injury, food tampering, adverse health effects of consumption of various food products or high-calorie foods (including obesity), or other concerns. Negative publicity from traditional media or on-line social network postings may also result from actual or alleged incidents or events taking place in ABH’s restaurants. Regardless of whether the allegations or complaints are valid, unfavorable publicity relating to a number of our restaurants, or only to a single restaurant, could adversely affect public perception of the entire brand. Adverse publicity and its effect on overall consumer perceptions of food safety, or ABH’s failure to respond effectively to adverse publicity, could have a material adverse effect on its and our business.

 

Changes in employment laws or regulation could harm ABH’s performance.

 

Various federal and state labor laws govern ABH’s relationship with its employees and affect operating costs. These laws include minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, healthcare reform and the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates, citizenship requirements, union membership and sales taxes. A number of factors could adversely affect ABH’s operating results, including additional government-imposed increases in minimum wages, overtime pay, paid leaves of absence and mandated health benefits, mandated training for employees, increased tax reporting and tax payment requirements for employees who receive tips, a reduction in the number of states that allow tips to be credited toward minimum wage requirements, changing regulations from the National Labor Relations Board and increased employee litigation including claims relating to the Fair Labor Standards Act.

 

The Americans with Disabilities Act is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in public accommodations and employment. Although ABH’s restaurants are designed to be accessible to the disabled, ABH could be required to make modifications to its restaurants to provide service to, or make reasonable accommodations for disabled persons.

 

Economic conditions could have a material adverse impact on ABH’s landlords or other tenants in retail centers in which it or its franchisees are located, which in turn could negatively affect its financial results.

 

ABH’s landlords may be unable to obtain financing or remain in good standing under their existing financing arrangements, resulting in failures to pay required construction contributions or satisfy other lease covenants to ABH. In addition other tenants at retail centers in which ABH or its franchisees are located or have executed leases may fail to open or may cease operations. If any landlords fail to satisfy required co-tenancies, such failures may result in ABH or its franchisees terminating leases or delaying openings in these locations. Also, decreases in total tenant occupancy in retail centers in which ABH are located may affect guest traffic at its restaurants. All of these factors could have a material adverse impact on its and our operations.

 

ABH may experience higher-than-anticipated costs associated with the opening of new locations or with the closing, relocating and remodeling of existing restaurants, which may adversely affect its and our results of operations.

 

ABH’s and our revenues and expenses can be impacted significantly by the location, number and timing of the opening of new restaurants and the closing, relocating, and remodeling of existing restaurants. ABH incurs substantial pre-opening expenses each time it opens a new restaurant and incurs other expenses when it closes, relocates or remodels existing restaurants. These expenses are generally higher when it opens restaurants in new markets, but the costs of opening, closing, relocating or remodeling any of our restaurants may be higher than anticipated. An increase in such expenses could have an adverse effect on ABH’s and our results of operations.

 

ABH’s and our success depends substantially on the value of ABH’s brands and its reputation for offering guests an unparalleled Guest experience.

 

We believe that ABH has built a strong reputation for the quality and breadth of its menu items as part of the total experience that guests enjoy in its restaurants. We believe ABH must protect and grow the value of its brands to continue to be successful in the future. Any incident that erodes consumer trust in or affinity for its brands could significantly reduce their value. If consumers perceive or experience a reduction in food quality, service, or ambiance, or in any way believe ABH failed to deliver a consistently positive experience, its and our brand value could suffer.

 

ABH’s inability to successfully and sufficiently raise menu prices could result in a decline in profitability.

 

ABH utilizes menu price increases to help offset cost increases, including increased cost for commodities, minimum wages, employee benefits, insurance arrangements, construction, utilities and other key operating costs.  If its selection and amount of menu price increases are not accepted by consumers and reduce guest traffic, or are insufficient to counter increased costs, its and our financial results could be harmed.

 

 32 

 

 

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate due to the timing of special events and other factors, including the recognition of impairment losses.

 

Our quarterly operating results depend, in part, on revenue that ABH derived from special events, such as the Super Bowl® and other sporting events viewed by our guests in our World of Beer franchised locations such as the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and NCAA. Interruptions in the viewing of these professional and collegiate sporting league events due to strikes, lockouts or labor disputes may impact our results. Additionally, ABH’s and thus indirectly our results are subject to fluctuations based on the dates of sporting events and their availability for viewing through broadcast, satellite and cable networks. Historically, sales in most of World of Beer restaurants have been higher during fall and winter months based on the relative popularity and extent of national, regional and local sporting and other events. Further, quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly because of other factors, including:

 

·Fluctuations in food costs, particularly chicken wings;
·The timing of new restaurant openings which may impact margins due to the related preopening costs and initially higher restaurant level operating expense ratios;
·Potential distraction or unusual expenses associated with expansion into other geographical territories;
·ABH’s ability to operate effectively in new markets in which it has limited operating experience;
·Labor availability and costs for hourly and management personnel;
·Changes in competitive factors;
·Disruption in supplies;
·General economic conditions, consumer confidence and fluctuations in discretionary spending;
·Claims experience for self-insurance programs;
·Increases or decreases in labor or other variable expenses;
·The impact of inclement weather, natural disasters and other calamities;
·Fluctuations in interest rates;
·The timing and amount of asset impairment loss and restaurant closing charges; and
·Tax expenses and other non-operating costs.

 

ABH may not be able to attract and retain qualified team members and key executives to operate and manage our business.

 

ABH”s success and the success of its individual restaurant(s) and business depends on its ability to attract, motivate, develop and retain a sufficient number of qualified key executives and restaurant employees, including restaurant managers and hourly team members. The inability to recruit, develop and retain these individuals may delay the planned openings of new restaurant and tavern locations or result in high employee turnover in existing locations, thus increasing the cost to efficiently operate our restaurants. This could inhibit expansion plans and business performance and, to the extent that a labor shortage may force ABH to pay higher wages, harm its profitability. The loss of any of its key executive officers could jeopardize its ability to meet its financial targets.

 

The sale of alcoholic beverages at ABH’s locations subjects it to additional regulations and potential liability.

 

Because ABH’s locations sell alcoholic beverages, it is required to comply with the alcohol licensing requirements of the federal government, states and municipalities where its restaurants are located. Alcoholic beverage control regulations require applications to state authorities and, in certain locations, county and municipal authorities for a license and permit to sell alcoholic beverages on the premises and to provide service for extended hours and on Sundays. Typically, the licenses are renewed annually and may be revoked or suspended for cause at any time. Alcoholic beverage control regulations relate to numerous aspects of the daily operations of the restaurants and bars, including minimum age of guests and employees, hours of operation, advertising, wholesale purchasing, inventory control and handling, storage and dispensing of alcoholic beverages. If ABH fails to comply with federal, state or local regulations, its licenses may be revoked, and it may be forced to terminate the sale of alcoholic beverages at one or more of its locations. Further, growing movements to change laws relating to alcohol may result in a decline in alcohol consumption at its facilities or increase the number of dram shop claims made against it, either of which may negatively impact operations or result in the loss of liquor licenses.

 

In certain states ABH is subject to “dram shop” statutes, which generally allow a person injured by an intoxicated person the right to recover damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to the intoxicated person. Some dram shop litigation against restaurant companies has resulted in significant judgments, including punitive damages.

 

Changes in consumer preferences or discretionary consumer spending could harm ABH’s and our performance.

 

The success of ABH’s World of Beer franchises depends, in part, upon the continued popularity of the overall World of Beer system locations throughout the United States as well as ABH’s unique food and beverage items and appeal of sports bars and casual dining restaurants. ABH also depends on trends toward consumers eating away from home. Shifts in these consumer preferences could negatively affect its future profitability. Such shifts could be based on health concerns related to the cholesterol, carbohydrate, fat, calorie or salt content of certain food items, including items featured on its menu. Negative publicity over the health aspects of such food items may adversely affect consumer demand for its menu items and could result in a decrease in guest traffic to its restaurants, which could materially harm its business. In addition, ABH will be required to disclose calorie counts for all food items on its menus, due to federal regulations, and this may have an effect on consumers’ eating habits. Other federal regulations could follow this pattern. In addition, ABH’s success depends to a significant extent on numerous factors affecting discretionary consumer spending, including economic conditions, disposable consumer income and consumer confidence. A decline in consumer spending or in economic conditions could reduce guest traffic or impose practical limits on pricing, either of which could harm its business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow.

 

 33 

 

 

A regional or global health pandemic could severely affect ABH’s business.

 

A health pandemic is a disease outbreak that spreads rapidly and widely by infection and affects many individuals in an area or population at the same time. If a regional or global health pandemic was to occur, depending upon its duration and severity, ABH’s and our business could be severely affected. ABH has positioned its brand as a place where people can gather together.

 

Customers might avoid public gathering places in the event of a health pandemic, and local, regional or national governments might limit or ban public gatherings to halt or delay the spread of disease. A regional or global health pandemic might also adversely impact our business by disrupting or delaying production and delivery of materials and products in its supply chain and by causing staffing shortages in ABH’s restaurants. The impact of a health pandemic might be disproportionately greater than on other companies that depend less on the gathering of people together for the sale or use of their products and services.

 

As a result of the factors discussed above, ABH’s and our quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly. Accordingly, results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any year. These fluctuations may cause future operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and shareholders. In that event, the price of our common stock would likely decrease.

 

ABH may be subject to increased labor and insurance costs.

 

ABH’s restaurant operations are subject to federal and state laws governing such matters as minimum wages, working conditions, overtime, and tip credits. As federal and state minimum wage rates increase, ABH may need to increase not only the wages of our minimum wage employees, but also the wages paid to employees at wage rates that are above minimum wage. Labor shortages, increased employee turnover, and health care mandates could also increase its labor costs. This, in turn, could lead it to increase prices which could impact its sales. Conversely, if competitive pressures or other factors prevent ABH from offsetting increased labor costs by increases in prices, its profitability may decline. In addition, the current premiums that ABH pays for its insurance (including workers’ compensation, general liability, property, health, and directors’ and officers’ liability) may increase at any time, thereby further increasing our costs. The dollar amount of claims that ABH actually experiences under its workers’ compensation and general liability insurance, for which it carries high per-claim deductibles, may also increase at any time, thereby further increasing its costs. Also, the decreased availability of property and liability insurance has the potential to negatively impact the cost of premiums and the magnitude of uninsured losses.

 

ABH’s current insurance may not provide adequate levels of coverage against claims.

 

ABH currently maintains insurance customary for businesses of its size and type. However, there are types of losses it may incur that cannot be insured against or that it believed are not economically reasonable to insure, such as losses due to natural disasters. Such damages could have a material adverse effect on its and our business and results of operations. 

 

ABH is dependent on information technology and any material failure of that technology could impair its ability to efficiently operate its business.

 

ABH relies on information systems across its operations, including, for example, point-of-sale processing in its locations, management of its supply chain, collection of cash and credit and debit card payments, payment of obligations and various other processes and procedures. ABH’s ability to efficiently manage its business depends significantly on the reliability and capacity of these systems. The failure of these systems to operate effectively, problems with maintenance, upgrading or transitioning to replacement systems, or a breach in security of these systems could cause delays in customer service, reduce efficiency in its operations, require significant investment to remediate the issue or cause negative publicity that could damage its and our brand. Significant capital investments might be required to remediate any problems.

 

If ABH is unable to maintain its rights to use key technologies of third parties, its and our business may be harmed.

 

ABH relies on certain technology licensed from third parties and may be required to license additional technology in the future for use in managing its internet sites and providing related services to users and customers. These third-party technology licenses may not continue to be available to it on acceptable commercial terms or at all. The inability to enter into and maintain any of these technology licenses could significantly harm its and our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

 34 

 

 

ABH’s future growth may require it to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed or may be available only at an excessive cost.

 

In order to build out ABH’s business plan and to be ultimately successful, it will need ample capital to purchase/rent new properties, build new locations, hire personnel and market its locations. ABH may not generate sufficient cash from its existing operations in order to do so. Therefore, it or we may at some point choose to raise additional capital to support its continued growth. ABH’s and our ability to raise additional capital will depend, in part, on conditions in the capital markets at that time which are outside of its control. Accordingly, it or we may be unable to raise additional capital, if and when needed, on terms acceptable to it or us, or at all. If ABH or we cannot raise additional capital when needed, its ability to further expand operations through internal growth and acquisitions could be materially impacted. In the event of a material decrease in our stock price, future issuances of equity securities could result in dilution of existing shareholder interests.

 

The occurrence of any failure, breach or interruption in service involving ABH’s systems or those of its service providers could damage its reputation, cause losses, increase its expenses, and result in a loss of customers, an increase in regulatory scrutiny or expose ABH to civil litigation and possibly financial liability, any of which could adversely impact its and our financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our stock.

 

Communications and information systems are essential to the conduct of ABH’s business, as it uses such systems to manage its customer relationships, its general ledger, its deposits and its loans. ABH’s operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information in its computer systems and networks. Although ABH takes protective measures and endeavor to modify them as circumstances warrant, the security of its computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to breaches, unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses or other malicious code and cyber attacks that could have a security impact. In addition, breaches of security may occur through intentional or unintentional acts by those having authorized or unauthorized access to its confidential or other information or the confidential or other information of our customers, clients or counterparties. If one or more of such events was to occur, the confidential and other information processed and stored in and transmitted through its computer systems and networks could potentially be jeopardized or could otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in its operations or the operations of its customers, clients or counterparties. This could cause ABH significant reputational damage or result in its experiencing significant losses.

 

Furthermore, ABH may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify its protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from operational and security risks. ABH also may be subject to litigation and financial losses that are either not insured against or not fully covered through any insurance it maintains. In addition, ABH routinely transmits and receives personal, confidential and proprietary information by e-mail and other electronic means. It has discussed and worked with its customers, clients and counterparties to develop secure transmission capabilities, but it does not have, and may be unable to put in place, secure capabilities with all of these constituents, and it may not be able to ensure that these third parties have appropriate controls in place to protect the confidentiality of such information.

 

While ABH has established policies and procedures to prevent or limit the impact of systems failures and interruptions, there can be no assurance that such events will not occur or that they will be adequately addressed if they do. In addition, ABH outsources certain aspects of its data processing to certain third-party providers. If its third-party providers encounter difficulties, or if it has difficulty in communication with them, its ability to adequately process and account for customer transactions could be affected, and its business operations could be adversely impacted. Threats to information security also exist in the processing of customer information through various other vendors and their personnel.

 

Risks Relating to Our Securities

 

There has been a very limited public trading market for our securities, and the market for our securities may continue to be limited and be sporadic and highly volatile.

 

There is currently a limited public market for our common stock. Our common stock has been listed for trading on the OTC Pink. We cannot assure you that an active market for our shares will be established or maintained in the future. Holders of our common stock may, therefore, have difficulty selling their shares, should they decide to do so. In addition, there can be no assurances that such markets will continue or that any shares, which may be purchased, may be sold without incurring a loss. Any such market price of our shares may not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value and may not be indicative of the market price for the shares in the future.

 

In addition, the market price of our common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of our common stock to decline. Securities markets experience significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic conditions, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Many factors that are beyond our control may significantly affect the market price of our shares. These factors include:

 

  price and volume fluctuations in the stock markets;
     
  changes in our revenues and earnings or other variations in operating results;
     
  any shortfall in revenue or increase in losses from levels expected by us or securities analysts;

 

 35 

 

 

     
  changes in regulatory policies or law;
     
  operating performance of companies comparable to us; and
     
  general economic trends and other external factors.

 

Even if an active market for our common stock is established, stockholders may have to sell their shares at prices substantially lower than the price they paid for it or might otherwise receive than if a broad public market existed.

 

Future financings could adversely affect common stock ownership interest and rights in comparison with those of other security holders.

 

Our board of directors has the power to issue additional shares of common or preferred stock without stockholder approval. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced, and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. In addition, as of September 22, 2015, we had issued and outstanding options and warrants that may be exercised into 14,599,204 shares of common stock, 9,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 51 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock that may be converted into 54,000,306 shares of common stock, outstanding principal convertible notes totaling $1,488,487 (excludes ABH’s convertible notes of $2,371,545 which are not convertible into our common stock) and accrued interest payable of $417,338 (excludes accrued interest for ABH convertible notes) which together may be converted into shares of common stock (subject to 4.99-9.99% beneficial ownership limitations and a limit of a total of 20,000,000 authorized shares) at a maximum conversion cap rate of $.02 per share. Actual conversion prices are subject to certain discounts from market prices as the stock prices change daily and have been significantly less than the $.02 price, resulting in a possible calculation to reach the maximum authorized amount of 20,000,000,000 common shares. The Series A and A-1 Preferred Stock vote with the common stock on an as converted basis. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of our outstanding Series A and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the conversion rate and the voting rights of the Series A and A-1 will not adjust as a result of any reverse stock split. Further, the authorized but unissued Series A will not adjust as a result of any reverse split. As a result, in the event of a reverse split of our common stock, the voting power would be concentrated with the Series A holder. 

 

Further, if we issue any additional common stock or securities convertible into common stock, such issuance will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of each other stockholder diluting each stockholder. In addition, such stock issuances might result in a reduction of the book value of our common stock.

 

Because we do not have an audit or compensation committee, shareholders will have to rely on our President, who is not independent, to perform these functions.

 

We do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors. Indeed, we do not have any audit or compensation committee. These functions are performed by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. An independent audit committee plays a crucial role in the corporate governance process, assessing our processes relating to our risks and control environment, overseeing financial reporting, and evaluating internal and independent audit processes. The lack of an independent audit committee may prevent the Board from being independent from our management in their judgments and decisions and their ability to pursue the responsibilities of an audit committee without undue influence. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified, independent directors, the management of our business could be compromised. Our lack of an independent compensation committee presents the risk that our executive officers on the Board may have influence over his personal compensation and benefits levels that may not be commensurate with our financial performance.

 

Our common shares are subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9, which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

 

·      that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and

·      the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

·      In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

o      obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

o      make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

  36 

 

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

 

·         sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

·         that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

  

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our shares of common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

If an active market develops for our shares, sales of our shares relying upon Rule 144 may depress prices in that market by a material amount.

 

The majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock held by present stockholders are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The SEC has recently adopted amendments to Rule 144, which became effective on February 15, 2008 and applies to securities acquired both before and after that date. Under these amendments, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we have been current with the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least twelve months before the sale.

 

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed 1% of the total number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, which would equal 1,263,374 shares of our common stock immediately after this offering, for a company trading on the pink sheets or Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board such as us.

 

The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses which could adversely impact investors in our stock.

 

We believe that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

·      Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

·      Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

·      “Boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

·      Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

·      The wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

  

We do not expect to pay dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. As a result, holders of our common stock must rely on stock appreciation for any return on their investment.

 

There are no restrictions in our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada General Corporation Law, however, does prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend, we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or if our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution. We have not declared any dividends since our inception, and we do not plan to declare any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, holders of our common stock will have to rely on capital appreciation, if any, to earn a return on their investment in our common stock.

  

  37 

 

 

We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future that may adversely impact the right of holders of our common stock.

 

As of the date of this Report, our Articles of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 14,999,949 shares have been designated as shares of Series A, 51 shares have been designated as Series A-1 and 100,000 shares have been designated as Series C. Accordingly, our Board of directors will have the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the authority to issue such shares, without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, the rights of holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of their ownership interests in us. In addition, shares of preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult, which may not be in the interest of holders of common stock. To date, our investors in the Series A Preferred Convertible Preferred Stock have waived their dividends which we were obligated to pay to them. There is no guarantee going forward that they will waive these dividends in the future. If so, the number of shares issued may be materially dilute your investment.

 

A substantial number of our shares are available for sale in the public market, and sales of those shares could adversely affect our stock price and our ability to obtain financing.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock into the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could substantially reduce our stock price in the public market for our common stock and could impair our ability to obtain capital through a subsequent financing of our securities. We have 1,161,193,362 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2015 of which 1,161,162,792 shares are held by non-affiliates. Further, we have outstanding convertible notes in the face value of $6,208,842 (excludes ABH notes) which may be converted into 388,227,593 shares of common stock at a maximum conversion price of $.02. Generally, the holders of the securities convertible or exercisable into our common stock may be able to sell the common stock issued upon conversion or exercise after a six month holding period under Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act”). As such, you should expect a significant number of such shares of common stock to be sold. Depending upon market liquidity at the time our common stock is resold by the holders thereof, such re-sales could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. In addition, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, an anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales.

 

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

 

We believe that inflation has not had any material effect on our net sales and results of operations.

ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

  

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), are designed 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using framework similar to criteria referenced in the initial steps of the Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the year ended March 31, 2015.

 

A material weakness is a significant deficiency (as defined in the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 2), or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, management determined that there were control deficiencies as of the year ended March 31, 2015 that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.

 

* We have noted that there may be an insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

* We do not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee financial expert. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, it is the management’s view that to have an audit committee, comprised of independent board members and an independent audit committee financial expert, is an important entity-level control over the Company’s financial statements. Currently, the Board does not have sufficient independent directors to form such an audit committee. Also, the Board of Directors does not have an independent director with sufficient financial expertise to serve as an independent financial expert.

 

* Due to the complex nature of recording derivatives and similar financial instruments, we noted a need for increased coordination and review of techniques and assumptions used in recording derivatives to ensure accounting in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report is not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Remediation Efforts to Address Deficiencies in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

As a result of the findings from the evaluation conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financing reporting as set forth above, we intend to take practical, cost-effective steps in implementing internal controls, including the following remedial measures, some of which have already been taken:

 

* Interviewing and potentially hiring outside consultants that are experts in designing internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

 

* we have hired an outside consultant to assist with controls over the review and application of derivatives to ensure accounting in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

* The Board of Directors to consider nominating an audit committee and audit committee financial expert, which may or may not consist of independent members as funds allow.

 

Due to inadequate financing, we have not hired any outside experts to design additional internal controls over financial reporting or recommended a new board director that is a financial expert.

 

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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Brands, Inc, in Florida, a public company which was a beverage brand-development company, similar to Attitude Drinks Incorporated. This experience in the beverage industry as well as with a public company led to the conclusion that he should serve as a director of the Company. Mr. Warren is also the Chief Executive Officer and a director of HVWC.

  

Mr. Michael Edwards – Director since 2007

 

Mr. Edwards has served on the Board of Directors since 2007.  He currently is the sole proprietor of a chain of automobile car washes in Martin County, Florida which he has owned over seven years.  Prior to this, he served as Chief Revenue Officer for Bravo! Brands, Inc. for over five years in which he led the sales team force for introduction and sales of the company’s various developed beverage brands and products. This expertise in the development and sales of beverage products led to the conclusion that he should serve as a director of the Company.  Prior to that time, he worked for 5 years in beverage marketing research for Message Factors, Inc., a Memphis, Tennessee marketing research firm.  Mr. Edwards has a BS degree from Florida State University in Management and Marketing and spent 13 years in the banking industry, leaving CitiBank to join Message Factors in 1995.

  

Mr. H. John Buckman – Director since 2007

 

Mr. Buckman has served on the Board of Directors since 2007.  He is a principal and majority shareholder of Buckman, Buckman and Reid, a licensed broker-dealer co-founded by Mr. Buckman in 1988.  Mr. Buckman also joined the Board of Center for Vocational Rehabilitation (CVR) in 1994 and was a member for ten years.  Presently, Mr. Buckman is President of the Board of Directors for Asian Youth Ministries in New Jersey.

Mr. Tommy Kee –Chief Financial Officer since 2007

 

Tommy Kee joined our company in November, 2007 as Chief Financial Officer.  Mr. Kee was previously the Chief Accounting Officer of Bravo! Brands, Inc.  He graduated with an MBA from the University of Memphis and a BS degree in accounting from the University of Tennessee.  Before joining us, he served for several years as CFO for Allied Interstate, Inc. in the West Palm Beach area.  Prior to that, Mr. Kee served as CFO and Treasurer for Hearx Ltd. a West Palm Beach, Florida public company.  He also served 18 years as International Controller and Financial Director with the Holiday Inns Inc. organization in Memphis and Orlando.  Mr. Kee gave his letter of resignation as CFO, effective July 10, 2009 but rejoined the Company in April, 2010. Mr. Kee also serves as the Chief Financial Officer of HVWC. 

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

  

Based solely on a review of the appropriate Forms 3, 4 and 5 and any amendments to such forms filed pursuant to Section 16(a) during the most recent fiscal year, there are no late filings.

 

  40 

 

 

Code of Ethics

 

On May 14, 2009, the Board of Directors approved and ratified a Code of Ethics that is applicable to all directors, officers and employees.  A copy of the Code of Ethics was attached an Exhibit 14 in the Form 10-K/A-2 that was filed for the fiscal year that ended March 31, 2009. The Code of Ethics is also available for review on our website at www.attitudedrinks.com.  Furthermore, a copy of the code is available to any person free of charge upon request by writing to our company at 11231 U.S. Highway 1, #201, North Palm Beach, Florida 33408.

 

Committees

 

Although we have a majority of independent directors, we do not have a separately designated audit committee, nominating committee, compensation committee or a person designated as an audit committee member financial expert.  We do not have a separately designated audit committee or an audit committee member financial expert because the cost of identifying, interviewing, appointing, educating, and compensating such persons would outweigh the benefits to our stockholders at the present time.  If we are successful in our efforts to secure additional capital, the resources may be available to appoint additional directors, have a separately designated audit committee, nominating committee, compensation committee and a person designated as an audit committee member financial expert. All directors participate in nominations of directors, and there is no formal nomination charter or policy in regard to recommendation of directors by shareholders due to the Company’s size and operations.

 

ITEM 11 - EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Summary Compensation Table

 

The following table sets forth the compensation earned during the last two fiscal years by our executive officers as well as any unpaid compensation for the applicable years with the company.  Please note that the company did not have sufficient capital to make regular compensation payments to these officers, and unpaid amounts have been accrued and reflected as expense:

His base salary is accrued at the same $208,373 amount, although there is no assurance the Company will have sufficient capital to pay this amount. Of the total $220,373 amount, a total amount of $95,252 has not been paid.

 

(b) For the year ended March 31, 2014, Roy Warren, CEO, earned an income of $208,373 plus annual director’s fees of $12,000 for a total of $220,373.

Of the total $220,373 amount, a total amount of $71,079 has not been paid.

 

(c) For the year ended March 31, 2015, Tommy Kee, CFO, earned an annual base salary of $173,644 which is the same amount that is used for his accrual.

(f) Neither executive has an employment or a consulting agreement. The Company intends to pay accrued but unpaid amounts either by conversions of certain past due amounts into the Company’s common stock and/or cash once the Company’s fundings and financial position will allow such payments. Since we were not able to consistently make salary payments to these two named executives, we had to treat some of these payments as consulting fees.

 

(g) All other compensation figures represent company paid medical insurance for the above named executives.

Roy G. Warren, CEO, is the Chairman of the Board of Directors. His director compensation is reported in the Summary Compensation Table.

 

(a) Each above director is compensated $1,000 per month for their role as directors; however, no cash payments have been made for the year ended March 31, 2015. Roy G. Warren is the only non-independent director. The Company intends to pay these past due amounts either by issuing shares of the Company’s common stock and/or cash once the Company’s financial position will allow such payments. Total past due director fees are $78,000 for H. John Buckman and $74,792 for Mike Edwards.

 

(b) In addition to H. John Buckman being a Director, he also is an investor and debt holder of the Company whereas the Company issued him a note payable at face value of $55,000. He also received 22 shares of restricted stock that related to his note payable, 2 shares were issued to him in 2009 for his Director services, and he received 300 shares of restricted stock in November 2009 for his efforts in a financing during that month (total of 324 restricted shares). In September, 2013, he received 500,000 non-qualified stock options at an exercise price of $.004 with immediate vesting. The stock options have a life of five (5) years. We recorded the value of these stock options at $1,350 (500,000 options x $.0027 = $1,350).

 

(c) In September, 2013, Mike Edwards received 500,000 non-qualified stock options at an exercise price of $.004 with immediate vesting. The stock options have a life of five (5) years. We recorded the value of these stock options at $1,350 (500,000 options x $.0027 = $1,350).

ITEM 13 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE 

 

The Company issued aggregate notes of $100,000 ($50,000 in October 2007 and $50,000 in February 2008) to Roy Warren, the Company’s CEO, an accredited investor with whom the Company entered into subscription agreements for 10% convertible notes. Roy Warren assigned the $100,000 notes to another party. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, 9,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred, convertible into 54,000,000 shares of common stock at the option of the holder, were granted to Roy Warren for services rendered. We recorded a non-cash expense for $1,620,000 which is based on the then market price of $0.03 per common share times the convertible stock equivalents (9,000,000 preferred shares x 6 = 54,000,000 common stock equivalents). These shares vote with the common stock at a rate of 6 votes per share (54,000,000 total votes). During the quarter ended March, 31, 2013, 51 shares of Series A-1 Preferred, convertible into 306 shares of common stock at the option of the holder, were granted to Roy Warren for services rendered. We recorded a non-cash expense for $0.09 which is based on the then market price of $0.0003 per common share times the convertible stock equivalents (51 preferred shares x 6 = 306 common stock equivalents).

H. John Buckman is a board director of the company and is a debt holder of the company of a note payable at the face value of $55,000.  He also received 21 shares of restricted stock that related to this note payable, 3 shares of restricted stock for being a Director and 300 shares of restricted stock for his services related to a November 2009 financing (total of 324 shares of restricted stock). He also received 500,000 non-qualified stock options at an exercise price of $.004 with full vestment as the life of the stock options is five (5) years.

 

Director Independence

 

H. John Buckman and Mike Edwards are independent directors as defined by Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act under NASDAQ rules. Roy G. Warren is not independent as he is an officer of the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Attitude Drinks Incorporated

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Attitude Drinks Incorporated as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Attitude Drinks Incorporated at March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Attitude Drinks Incorporated will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company had an accumulated deficit at March 31, 2015, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year then ended. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On April 21, 2015, “HVWC” purchased ABH by entering into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with the three original shareholders of Attitude Beer Holding Co., a Delaware corporation (“ABH”), namely, the Company, Alpha Capital Anstalt, a company organized under the laws of Liechtenstein (“Alpha”) and Tarpon Bay Partners LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Tarpon Bay”), pursuant to which the shareholders sold to HVWC all of the outstanding shares of stock of ABH, and ABH thereupon became a wholly owned subsidiary of HVWC. In consideration for the purchase of the shares of common stock of ABH, HVWC issued: (i) to Attitude Drinks, 51 shares of a newly created Series B Preferred Stock of HVWC (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and a seven year warrant (the “B Warrant”) to purchase 5,000,000 shares of HVWC’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price of $0.075 per share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments); (ii) to Alpha, a secured convertible note due April 20, 2017 (the “Secured Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of $1,619,375 a seven year warrant (the “Alpha Warrant”), to purchase 1,295,500,500, shares of HVWC’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0025 per share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments), and an additional investment right (“AIR”) to purchase up to $3,750,000 in additional notes (the “AIR Note”) and corresponding warrants (“the “AIR Warrant”); and (iii) to Tarpon, a Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of $554,792, a seven year warrant (the “Tarpon Warrant”) to purchase 443,833,333 shares of HVWC’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0025 per share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments), and an AIR to purchase up to $1,250,000 in additional notes and corresponding AIR Warrants.  In addition, Alpha acquired 32,300 shares of the HVWC’s Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 32,300,000 shares of HVWC’s Common Stock) from HVW Holdings LLC (an entity of which Mr. James Giordano, the Company’s prior Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, is the managing member), subject to the terms of a Purchase Agreement (the “Series A Purchase Agreement”). The Company purchased 87,990,000 shares of HVWC’s Common Stock from HVW Holdings LLC at a price of $65,000, subject to the terms of a Purchase Agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”). The Alpha Warrant and the Tarpon Warrant are collectively referred to herein as the “A Warrants” and the B Warrant and the A Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Warrants.” 

 

In December 2014, ABH entered into a joint venture with New England World of Beer and together opened a 4,000 sq. foot tavern in West Hartford (“West Hartford WOB”), Connecticut that sells a selection of over 500 craft and imported beers along with tavern food and other spirits and cocktails. New England World of Beer holds franchise rights for all of Connecticut and Massachusetts. Similar taverns are currently open in 20 states, namely AL, AZ, CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, LA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, SC, TN, TX, VA, WA and WI.

 

Note 2 -            Going Concern and Management’s Plans:

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred accumulated operating losses of $36,784,717 and negative cash flows from operations and has a significant working capital deficiency in the amount of $16,942,378 at March 31, 2015. The Company has been dependent upon third party financing and will continue to depend on additional financing for at least the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

F-8
 

 

Note 2 -            Going Concern and Management’s Plans (continued):

 

During 2016, the Company plans to file a registration statement to provide working capital as needed to increase operations and sales efficiencies through the need to implement sales and marketing programs to increase awareness of the Company’s products as well as to pay for slotting fees for certain retail channels of revenues. The Company plans to increase its sales, primarily by significantly increasing its sales force and partnering with new distributors, as well as offering new products in the next twelve months. The Company’s margins are expected to improve as a result of increased sales, expected economies of scale due to anticipated lower product costs based on increased volumes per production run and lower transportation costs from the expected shipment of full truck loads. However, the Company will work to reduce its dependency on third party financing during the next twelve months. There is no assurance that further funding will be available at acceptable terms, if at all, or that the Company will be able to achieve profitability. Ultimately, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the achievement of profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

  

Note 3 -            Significant Accounting Policies:

 

(a)           Principles of Consolidation:

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Attitude Drinks Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Attitude Drink Company, Inc., and majority owned subsidiary, Attitude Beer Holding Co. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated as well as the recording of applicable minority interest transactions to eliminate minority ownerships implications including consolidation adjustments.

  

(b)           Use of Estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimate included in the Company’s financial statements is the following: Fair value of the Company’s financial instruments that are required to be carried at fair value. The Company uses all available information and appropriate techniques to develop its estimates, including the use of outside consultants. However, actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates.

  

(c)            Business Segment and Geographic Information:

 

The Company currently operates in one dominant industry segment that it has defined as the sports-recovery drink industry. However, its next two products will enter into the functional milk category. Presently, there is no international business, although the Company may pursue the sale of its products in international markets during the next fiscal year. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary at the time opened its first World of Beer franchise location in Connecticut in late January, 2015, and ABH plans to open additional locations in the New England areas based on available financing capital.

  

(d)           Cash and Cash Equivalents:

  

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

  

(e)            Inventories:

  

Inventories, which consist of finished goods and raw materials, are stated at the lower of cost on the first in, first-out method or market. Further, the Company’s inventories are perishable. The Company estimates for each fiscal quarter any unsalable inventory reserves based upon a specific identification basis. The components of inventories as of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 are below:

                   
    March 31, 2015     March 31, 2014    
                   
World of Beer   $ 88,235     $    
Finished goods- Phase III     116,901       74,197    
Less reserve for obsolescence     (90,000 )     (44,107 )  
Less reserve for abandoned inventory     (2,339 )        
                   
Total inventories   $ 112,797     $ 30,090    

  

F-9
 

 

Note 3 -            Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

  

(f)            Fixed Assets:

  

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over a period of ten years for furniture and certain bar equipment, three years for corporate computer equipment and purchased software plus five years for World of Beer computer and point of sale systems. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged directly to expenses as incurred. Additions and betterments to property and equipment are capitalized. When assets are disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of operations. Leasehold improvements for the World of Beer location are depreciated over the life of the lease or twenty years. See footnote 4 for more details.

  

(g)          Capitalized Pre-Opening Expenses – World of Beer

  

Certain pre-opening expenses such as capitalized franchise fees, interest, legal costs, startup and organization costs are recorded as long term assets and are amortized over fifteen years unless certain capitalized costs have a shorter life period to amortize. Any incurred costs that are at best uncertain and fail to satisfy the suggested measurability test for accounting recognition as an asset are expensed.  

                 
      2015     2014  
Propery Description     Amount   Amount  
               
Pre-opening labor costs   $ 66,734   $  
Franchise fees     45,000      
Training fees     28,857      
Legal fees     22,615      
Start-up costs     19,557      
Other     25,181      
Accumulated amortization     (3,885 )    
               
Total   $ 204,059   $  

  

Amortization expense amounted to $3,885 and $0 for the years ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively.

  

(h)           Trademarks:

 

Trademarks are being amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteen years. The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s trademarks:

               
    March 31, 2015   March 31, 2014  
               
Trademark costs   $ 32,151   $ 32,151  
Less accumulated amortization     (27,614 )   (27,317 )
Total Trademarks - Net   $ 4,537   $ 4,834  

 

Amortization expense amounted to $297 and $407 for the years ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively.

  

(i)             Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:

  

Our long-lived assets consist principally of trademarks, furniture and equipment. We evaluate the carrying value and recoverability of our long-lived assets when circumstances warrant such evaluation by applying the provisions of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. See the note above (g) for further explanation.

  

F-10
 

 

Note 3 -            Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

(j)            Financial Instruments:

 

Financial instruments, as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, consist of cash, evidence of ownership in an entity and contracts that both (i) impose on one entity a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity, or to exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity, and (ii) conveys to that second entity a contractual right (a) to receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity, or (b) to exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity. Accordingly, our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, derivative financial instruments, convertible debt and redeemable preferred stock that we have concluded the notes payable and derivative financial instruments are more akin to debt than equity.

  

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, prior to February 21, 2013, derivative financial instruments were measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets. Fair value represents the price at which the property would change hands between a hypothetical willing and able buyer and a hypothetical willing and able seller acting at arm’s length in an open and unrestricted market, when neither is under compulsion to buy or sell and when both have reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.

  

We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, we have entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as debt financing arrangements, redeemable preferred stock arrangements and freestanding warrants with features that are either (i) not afforded equity classification, (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts, or (iii) may be net-cash settled by the counterparty. As required by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, these instruments, prior to February 21, 2013, were required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our financial statements as we were allowed to elect fair value measurement of the hybrid financial instruments, on a case-by-case basis, rather than bifurcate the derivative. We believed that fair value measurement of the various hybrid convertible promissory notes financing arrangements prior to February 21, 2013 provided a more meaningful presentation of that financial instrument.

  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. We believe that the carrying amounts of the financial instruments approximate their respective current fair values due to their relatively short maturities.

  

(j)            Financial Instruments (continued):

 

Pursuant to the requirements of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Codification, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1: Financial instruments with unadjusted quoted prices listed on active market exchanges.

 

Level 2: Financial instruments lacking unadjusted, quoted prices from active market exchanges, including over the counter traded financial instruments. The prices for the financial instruments are determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

 

Level 3: Financial instruments that are not actively traded on a market exchange. This category includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.

 

All cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1 measurements for all periods presented. We do not have any financial instruments classified as Level 2. We have recorded a conversion feature liability in regards to a convertible note issued in the twelve months ended March 31, 2015, which are Level 3 and are further described below in note 6.

 

The Company carries cash and cash equivalents, inventory, and accounts payable and accrued expense at historical cost which approximates the fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

F-11
 

 

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

(k)Revenue Recognition:

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recognized pursuant to formal revenue arrangements with the Company’s customers, at contracted prices, when the Company’s product is delivered to their premises, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company extends merchantability warranties to its customers on its products but otherwise does not afford its customers with rights of return. Warranty costs have been insignificant to date. In determining revenue recognition for products shipped to this customer, the Company follows the guidance in ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605”).

 

The Company’s revenue arrangements often provide for industry-standard slotting fees where the Company makes cash payments to the respective customer to obtain rights to place the Company’s products on their retail shelves for a stipulated period of time. We did record slotting fees for $ 0 and $875 for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which are recorded as reductions to the reported revenues. The Company also engages in other promotional discount and complimentary programs in order to enhance its sales activities. The Company believes its participation in these arrangements is essential to ensuring continued volume and revenue growth in the competitive marketplace. These payments, discounts, allowances and complimentary products are recorded as reductions to the Company’s reported revenue and were $17,631 and $8.002 for the year ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 respectively.

 

(l)Shipping and Handling Costs:

 

Shipping and handling costs incurred to deliver products to our customers are included as a component of cost of sales. These costs amounted to $6,989 and $22,119 for the year ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively.

 

(m)Income Taxes:

 

We utilize the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recognized, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized. We have recorded a 100% valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of their realization. The Company’s open tax years are from 2009 through 2015.

 

Our practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. For the year ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we had no accrued interest or penalties related to income taxes. We currently have no federal or state tax examinations in progress.

 

(n)Loss Per Common Share:

 

Our basic loss per common share is computed by dividing loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that diluted loss per common share includes dilutive common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method, and assumes that the convertible debt instruments were converted into common stock upon issuance, if dilutive. For the year ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, potential common shares arising from the our stock warrants, stock options, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt and accrued interest payable amounted to 18,770,207,129 shares for 2015 and 5,724,704,499 shares for 2014 and were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

 

(o)Recent Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company:

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”)

 

This guidance amends the existing FASB Accounting Standards Codification, creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

 

F-12
 

 

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:

 

1.Identify the contract(s) with the customer

 

2.Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

3.Determine the transaction price

 

4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

5.Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligations

 

The ASU also provides guidance on disclosures that should be provided to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue recognition and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about the following:

 

 1.Contracts with customers – including revenue and impairments recognized, disaggregation of revenue and information about contract balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations)

 

 2.Significant judgments and changes in judgments – determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations (over time or at a point in time) and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations

 

 3.Assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract.

 

ASU 2014-09 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period for all public entities. Early application is not permitted.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

In August, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an ASU that contained guidance for the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no impact on the Company through the adoption of this update as the Company has always provided such required disclosures on doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of completion of the audit..

 

In November, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an ASU that contained guidance about derivatives and hedging and determining whether the host contract in a hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share is more akin to debt or to equity. There are predominantly two methods used in current practice by issuers and investors in evaluating whether the nature of the host contract within a hybrid instrument issued in the form of a share is more akin to debt or to equity. This ASU is to eliminate the use of different methods in practice. As the Company utilizes the services of an outside professional specialty firm for such valuations, the Company believes there is no change needed for this update.

 

In February, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an ASU that contained guidance about Consolidation (Topic 810) and amendments to the consolidation analysis. These provisions provide amendments to limited partnerships and similar legal entities. As ABH owns the 51% majority of the World of Beer location in West Hartford which is an LLC corporation, the Company believes there is no change needed for this update.

 

(p)Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. Advertising costs for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $1,540 and $17,732, respectively.

 

(q)Concentration of Sales to Certain Clients

 

During fiscal 2014-2015, the Company had Phase III sales to one primary client that represented 93% of total revenues in the amount of $66,027. We had an outstanding receivable balance of $3,839 from this entity at March 31, 2015. The rest of our gross sales of $753,895 originated from ABH’s World of Beer location in West Hartford, Connecticut.

 

F-13
 

 

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

 

(r)Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the Related parties include (a) affiliates of the Company; (b) Entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the consolidated financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

(s)Commitment and Contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred, and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations or cash flows.

The principal amount of the above $5,547,372 balance equals the original $5,492,271 total financing plus allonges for $767,500 less conversions of $712,399.

 

(2) Monthly retainer fee to our outside financial consulting firm of $25,000 face value for December, 2012 through March 31, 2015 for a total original amount of $700,000 less conversions of $94,480

 

(3) Retainer fee to our previous legal counsel of $37,000 face value issued June 7, 2013

 

(4) Issued convertible promissory note for $35,200 on May 13, 2014

 

(5) Issued convertible note for $20,000 on December 12, 2014 for past due services

 

(6) Includes total of all installment convertible notes issued December, 2014 through March, 2015 for financing the World of Beer franchise location in West Hartford Connecticut.

 

(7) Issued three convertible notes for $13,500, $13,500 and $31,500 to three different accredited investors on January 14, 2015

 

(8) The consolidated notes required a new lattice valuation model that required the recording of a discount that will be amortized (accretion) over the life of the convertible notes payable.

 

Since these new consolidated notes contained new language as compared to the previous notes, we needed to use a different valuation model for applicable valuations, derivatives and fair market value. In order to determine the fair market value, we analyzed the various securities agreements and exchange agreements, compared the Company to comparable companies to determine industry factors for volatility, growth and future financing, developed a lattice model that valued the convertible notes on a probability weighted scenario model as well as future projections of the various potential outcomes and valued the convertible notes at issuance and at the end of the reporting period to account for the derivative liability. Based on our analysis in determining the proper accounting treatment and valuation as set forth in the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ASC 820-10-35-37 (Fair Value in Financial Instruments), Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ASC 815 (Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities), Emerging Issues Task (“EITF”) For Issue No. 00-10 and EITF 07-05, the embedded derivatives are bundled and valued as a single, compound embedded derivative, bifurcated from the debt host and treated as a liability. The single compound embedded derivative features valued include the variable conversion feature, and the value of these embedded derivatives for the convertible notes is treated as a liability. These derivative liabilities are marked-to-market each quarter with the change in fair value recorded in the Statement of Operations.

(a) February 21, 2013 Consolidated Convertible Notes

 

On February 21, 2013, all previous convertible notes payable with outstanding balances totaling $5,020,944 were surrendered by the debt holders to the Company through exchange agreements whereas the Company issued one consolidated note to each debt holder for the total outstanding convertible note amounts. In addition and on the same date, all outstanding Class A warrants associated with these convertible note payables totaling 425,003 Class A warrants were surrendered by the debt holders to the Company in which the Company issued additional convertible notes payable for the total amount of $350,000. All applicable 364 Class B warrants were cancelled as well. Both the surrendered convertible notes payable for $5,020,944 and warrants for $350,000 were combined into one new convertible note payable per debt holder for a grand total of $5,370,944. All of these consolidated notes contain the same terms, maturity dates and conversion criteria and replace all terms, conditions and conversion criteria contained in the surrendered notes. These notes have a maturity date of February 21, 2015 and an interest rate of 4%. They are in default. The Company is working with each debt holder to extend the maturity date as well as implementing in 2015 a debt restructuring program to address such issues. The conversion price per share is equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices for the Common stock as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the principal market for the twenty trading days preceding a conversion date but in no event greater than $10.00. Each conversion submitted by a holder must be at least the lesser of (i) $10,000 of principal and interest or (ii) the balance due on the note. In addition, another new convertible note was issued for $121,327 to one of the accredited debt holders for their efforts in assisting the Company with these consolidated notes, warrants and modifications. The amount was determined at 5% of the then outstanding balance of all the convertible notes payable held by the debt holder. This note is identical to the above notes for the terms, conversion criteria and maturity date. No accrued interest payable amounts were added to these new notes. A total of $806.879 in principal and $193.214 in accrued interest were converted into shares of common stock from February 21, 2013 through March 31, 2015. In addition, additional allonge financings were added as follows:

The Company is working with the debt holder to extend the maturity dates of these convertible notes. The notes can be converted into shares of Common Stock six months after issuance at a conversion price to equal the current market price multiplied by eighty percent (80%).

The modifications resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $171,622 in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Codification. On December 15, 2008, the Company was in default on the notes for non-payment of the required principal payment. The remedy for event of default was acceleration of principal and interest so they were recorded at face value. As of March 31, 2013, this April 14, 2008 note was considered in default for non-payment. The Company is trying to find the debt holder to extend the due date of the note as the previous address is no longer valid.

The due date of the loan was extended to December 15, 2008 with 11 restricted shares of common stock issued as consideration. On December 15, 2008, the Company was in default on the notes for non-payment of the required principal payment. Remedies for an event of default are acceleration of principal and interest. There were no incremental penalties for the event of default; however the notes were recorded at face value. Remedies for an event of default are acceleration of principal and interest.

 

On January 15, 2009, the Company extended the term on the note from December 15, 2008 to April 30, 2009. As of December 31, 2012, this note was considered in default for non-payment.

Note 9 –          Derivative Liabilities:

 

Fair Value Measurement 

 

Valuation Hierarchy 

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 

 

The following table provides the liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2015: 

 

          Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2015  
    Total
Carrying

(Level 3)
 
Conversion feature liability   $ 1,868,857     $     $     $ 1,868,857  

  

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

  

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the derivative liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting department, who reports to the Principal Financial Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting department and are approved by the Principal Financial Officer.

 

Level 3 Valuation Techniques

 

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the conversion feature liability for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate. A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement.

  

As of March 31, 2015, there were no transfers in or out of level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy. Starting with the consolidated convertible notes payable as of February 21, 2013, we used a new lattice valuation model which required the embedded derivatives to be bundled and valued as a single compound embedded derivative, bifurcated from the debt host and treated as a liability at fair value.

Note 10 –           Transactions with Related Parties:

 

In connection with the reverse merger (see Note 1), we assumed $47,963 in advances payable to the officers of MHHI in which we paid $1,500 in January, 2009 and issued 50 shares of common at $500.00 per share or $25,000, resulting in an outstanding balance of $21,463 that is due. These advances are non-interest bearing and payable upon demand.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, 9,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred, convertible into 54,000,000 shares of common stock at the option of the holder, were granted to Roy Warren (see Note 11). During the quarter ended March, 31, 2013, 51 shares of Series A-1 Preferred, convertible into 306 shares of common stock at the option of the holder, were granted to Roy Warren for services rendered (see Note 11(a)).

 

H. John Buckman is a board director of the company and is a debt holder of the company whereas the Company issued him a note payable at the face value of $55,000. He also received 22 shares of restricted stock that related to this note payable, 3 shares of restricted stock for being a Director and 300 shares of restricted stock for his services related to a November, 2009 financing (total of 324 shares of restricted stock).

 

Note 11 –           Stockholders’ Deficit:

 

(a) Series A Preferred Stock:

 

The Company’s articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock which the Company has designated as Series A Preferred (“Series A” and “Series A-1”), $.00001 par value.  Each share of Series A and A-1 is convertible into six shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of five years from the date of issue.  The conversion basis is not adjusted for any stock split or combination of the common stock.  Inasmuch as the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has been outstanding for in excess of five years, it no longer has the right to convert into six shares of common stock for each one share of preferred stock. The Company must at all times have sufficient common shares reserved to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A and A-1 Preferred. The holders of the Series A and A-1 Preferred are entitled to receive common stock dividends when, as, if and in the amount declared by the directors of the Company to be in cash or in market value of the Company’s common stock.  The Company is restricted from paying dividends or making distributions on its common stock without the approval of a majority of the Series A and A-1 holders. The Series A and A-1 are senior to the Common Stock and any other series or class of the Company’s Preferred Stock. The Series A and A-1 has liquidation rights in the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A and A-1 then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders, before any payment or declaration and setting apart for payment of any amount shall be made in respect of any outstanding capital stock of the Company, an amount equal to $.00001 per share, The Company, at the option of its directors, may at any time or from time to time redeem the whole or any part of the outstanding Series A. Upon redemption, the Company shall pay for each share redeemed the amount of $2.00 per share, payable in cash, plus a premium to compensate the original purchaser(s) for the investment risk and cost of capital equal to the greater of (a) $2.00 per share, or (b) an amount per share equal to fifty percent (50%) of the market capitalization of the Company on the date of notice of such redemption divided by 2,000,000. We have evaluated our Series A Preferred Stock and determined these shares required equity classification because the number of shares convertible into common stock is fixed and reserved. Redemption of these preferred shares cannot be affected because of the Company’s stockholders’ deficit. 

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, 9,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred were granted to Roy Warren. We recorded a non-cash expense for $1,620,000 which is based on the then market price of $0.03 per common share times the convertible stock equivalents (9,000,000 preferred shares x 6 = 54,000,000 common stock equivalents). These shares have specific voting power in that Roy Warren has voting rights for the 54,000,000 common stock equivalents. The Board of Directors on September 4, 2009 approved an amendment whereas Section 2(A) of the Certificate of Designation is hereby declared in its entirety, and the following shall be substituted in lieu thereof-Rights, Powers and Preferences: The Series A have the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as follows: Designation and Amount – Out of the Twenty Million (20,000,000) shares of the $0.00001 par value authorized preferred stock, all Twenty Million (14,999,049) shares have been designated as shares of “Series A.

 

During the quarter ended March, 31, 2013, 51 shares of Series A-1 Preferred, convertible into 306 shares of common stock at the option of the holder, were granted to Roy Warren for services rendered. We recorded a non-cash expense for $0.09 which is based on the then market price of $0.0003 per common share times the convertible stock equivalents (51 preferred shares x 6 = 306 common stock equivalents).

(d) Compensation and Incentive Plan:

 

On May 25, 2010, a registration that covers the offering of an aggregated 7,500 shares of the Company’s common stock was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. As such, the 2010 Stock Compensation and Incentive Plan was created for employees, directors, consultants and other persons associated with the Company in which awards of common stock and/or non-qualified stock options may be granted. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, we issued 6,578 shares of common stock for a total of $161,000 for past due professional services and payroll in which 3,000 shares were returned back to the plan, leaving an available 3,922 shares to be issued in the future

 

On December 21, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 54,204 non-qualified stock options to certain employees for the return of previously issued shares of common stock that were issued for payment of past due expenses to be effective at December 31, 2011. The stock options have an exercise price of $10.00, full vesting rights and a life of five years. The Board of Directors intends to approve a registration to cover an offering to include these stock options as well as certain other stock options (see below) in 2015/2016. We recognized the full compensation expense of $12,656 at December 31, 2011 by using the Black-Scholes valuation model (54,204 x $.2335). No options have been exercised.

 

On January 10, 2013, the stockholders holding a majority voting rights of our Common Stock approved the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan by written consent without a meeting in accordance with Delaware Law. This plan provides for the grant of stock awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates covering an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under this plan shall automatically increase on February 1st of each year for a period of 9 years commencing January 1, 2014 in an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31st of the preceding calendar year or 30,000 shares. Revised number is now 1,060,000 as of March 31, 2014. No stock awards have been granted as of March 31, 2015.

 

On September 16 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 10,000,000 non-qualified stock options to certain employees and the two independent Board Directors. The stock options have an exercise price of $.004, full vesting rights and a life of five years. The Board of Directors intends to approve a registration to cover an offering to include these stock options in 2015/2016. We recognized the full compensation expense of $26,997 by using the Black-Scholes valuation model (10,000,000 x $.0026997). No options have been exercised.

 

As required by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, we would normally estimate forfeitures of employee stock option and recognize the compensation cost over the requisite service period for the entire award in accordance with the provisions. As all stock options were fully vested, no estimate of forfeitures was required, and compensation cost is fully recognized at the time of grant and full vesting. We estimated the fair value of these stock options on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option-pricing formula, applying the following assumptions (before and after reverse stock split):

Note 12 –          Income Taxes:

 

The Company has recorded no income tax benefit for its taxable losses during the period ending March 31, 2015 because there is no certainty that the Company will realize those benefits. The components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of  March 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

 

   2015   2014 
Net operating loss carryforwards  $8,745,372   $5,999,692 
Compensatory stock and warrants   33    10,691 
Accrued expenses that are deductible in future periods   43,021    38,808 
Depreciation method differences        
    8,788,426    6,049,191 
Valuation allowances   (8,788,426)   (6,049,191)
           
Net deferred tax assets  $   $ 

 

As of March 31, 2015 the Company has a net tax operating loss of $25,721,000 that will be available to offset future taxable income, if any. The use of net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future income tax liabilities is subject to limitations, and these amounts will begin to expire in 2028.

Note 12 – Income Taxes (continued):

 

The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the tax benefit at the federal statutory rate to the Company’s effective rate for the period ending March 31, 2014 and 2013:

 

   2015   2014 
Benefit at federal statutory rate   -34.00%   -39.60%
Benefit at state rate, net of federal deficit   5.70%   94.36%
Fair value adjustment of convertible debt   -3.69%   -1616.09%
Non-deductible derivative loss   0.00%   0.00%
Loss on extinguishment of debt   0.00%   0.00%
Non-deductible travel expenses   0.01%   0.48%
Benefit at the Company’s effective rate   31.98%   1560.85%
Less valuation allowance effective tax rate   0.00%   0.00%

 

The Company is required to file income tax returns for U.S. Federal and State of Florida purposes. The Company is not currently under any tax examination, but the statute of limitations has not yet expired because no federal or state tax returns have been filed since 2007. Therefore, the Company generally remains subject to examination of its U.S. Federal income tax returns for 2008 and subsequent years by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, the Company also remains subject to examinations of its State of Florida tax returns for 2008 and subsequent years.

This agreement requires us to pay $5,000 per month and a 5% commission on all net sales. On September 3, 2009, a final judgment by default was approved by the district court in Denton County, Texas for a total sum of $22,348. This claim has been recorded on the Company’s records. Due to the lack of adequate capital financing, we have not been able to make any payments. We will address this matter as soon as practical and once we have adequate financing.

On May 28, 2014, we entered into a settlement agreement with Terrano to pay him a total of $11,000, to be remitted 60 days of the effective date of this agreement.

2.     The Holder of this Note is entitled any time after the Maturity Date, subject to the following provisions, to convert all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to the Current Market Price multiplied by eighty percent (80%) (the “Conversion Price”). “Current Market Price” means the average of the closing bid prices for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP or, if not so reported, as reported on the over-the-counter market, for the five (5) trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the relevant Conversion Date (as defined below). The amount of shares issuable pursuant to a conversion shall equal the principal amount (or portion thereof) of the Note to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price.

 

Conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering the Note to the Company, accompanied by or preceded by facsimile or other delivery to the Company of the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert a specified portion hereof No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The date on which notice of conversion is given (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder faxes or otherwise delivers the conversion notice (“Notice of Conversion”), substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed, to the Company. Facsimile delivery of the Notice of Conversion shall be accepted by the Company at facsimile number ________ ) ATTN: Chief Financial Officer. Certificates representing Common Stock upon conversion will be delivered within three (3) business days from the Conversion Date. (“Delivery Date”)

 

The Company understands that a delay in the issuance of the Shares of Common Stock beyond the Delivery Date (as defined in this Section) could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late issuance of Shares upon Conversion, unless the delay is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Company or the Transfer Agent, in accordance with the following schedule (where “No. Business Days Late” refers to the number of business days which is beyond three (3)) business days after the Delivery Date):’

     
No. Business Days Late  

Late Payment For Each $10,000
of Note Principal or Interest
Amount Being Converted

     
1   $100
2   $200
3   $300
4   $400
5   $500
6   $600
7   $700

9   $900
10   $1,000
>10   $1,000+$200 for each Business Day Late beyond 10 days

The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand as the Holder’s remedy for such delay. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of such shares of Common Stock by close of business on the Delivery Date, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion; provided, however, that an amount equal to any payments contemplated by this Section which have accrued through the date of such revocation notice shall remain due and owing to the Converting Holder notwithstanding such revocation.

 

If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Note and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note being converted (a “Converting Holder”) purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Converting Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Converting Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the Converting Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Converting Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-hi Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Converting Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Converting Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Converting Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Converting Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-1n with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.

In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Company’s Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefore do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.

ATTITUDE DRINKS INCORPORATED
PROMISSORY NOTE DUE NOVEMBER 30, 2016

 

THIS Note is a duly authorized issuance of up to $25,000.00 of ATTITUDE DRINKS INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation and located at 712 U.S. Highway 1, Suite #200, North Palm Beach, Florida 33408 (the “Company”) designated as its Note, pursuant to the Consulting Agreement entered into by the Company and the Holder as of July 19, 2012.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to SOUTHRIDGE PARTNERS II, LP, the registered holder hereof (the “Holder”), the principal sum of twenty five thousand and 00/100 Dollars (US $25,000.00) on November 30, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”). The principal of this Note is payable at the option of the Holder at any time after the Maturity Date, in shares of the Company’s common stock, $.00001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) as set forth below, or in United States dollars, at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder. The Company will pay the outstanding principal amount of this Note in cash on the Maturity Date to the registered holder of this Note. The forwarding of such wire transfer shall constitute a payment hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer plus any amounts so deducted.

 

 This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

 1.       The Note is issuable in denominations of Ten Thousand Dollars (US$10,000) and integral multiples thereof, provided that the number of shares to be issued upon conversion is a minimum of 3,000 (unless if at the time of election to convert the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion is less than 3,000). The Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Note of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange.

 2.       The Holder of this Note is entitled any time after the Maturity Date, subject to the following provisions, to convert all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to the Current Market Price multiplied by eighty percent (80%) (the “Conversion Price”). “Current Market Price” means the average of the closing bid prices for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP or, if not so reported, as reported on the over-the-counter market, for the five (5) trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the relevant Conversion Date (as defined below). The amount of shares issuable pursuant to a conversion shall equal the principal amount (or portion thereof) of the Note to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price.

 

Conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering the Note to the Company, accompanied by or preceded by facsimile or other delivery to the Company of the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert a specified portion hereof No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The date on which notice of conversion is given (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder faxes or otherwise delivers the conversion notice (“Notice of Conversion”), substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed, to the Company. Facsimile delivery of the Notice of Conversion shall be accepted by the Company at facsimile number ________ ) ATTN: Chief Financial Officer. Certificates representing Common Stock upon conversion will be delivered within three (3) business days from the Conversion Date. (“Delivery Date”)

 

The Company understands that a delay in the issuance of the Shares of Common Stock beyond the Delivery Date (as defined in this Section) could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late issuance of Shares upon Conversion, unless the delay is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Company or the Transfer Agent, in accordance with the following schedule (where “No. Business Days Late” refers to the number of business days which is beyond three (3)) business days after the Delivery Date):’

  

     Late Payment For Each $10,000
    of Note Principal or Interest
No. Business Days Late   Amount Being Converted
1   $100
2   $200
3   $300
4   $400
5   $500
6   $600
7   $700
8   $800
9   $900
10      $1,000
>10   $1,000+$200 for each Business Day Late beyond 10 days

The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand as the Holder’s remedy for such delay. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of such shares of Common Stock by close of business on the Delivery Date, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion; provided, however, that an amount equal to any payments contemplated by this Section which have accrued through the date of such revocation notice shall remain due and owing to the Converting Holder notwithstanding such revocation.

 

If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Note and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note being converted (a “Converting Holder”) purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Converting Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Converting Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the Converting Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Converting Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-hi Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Converting Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Converting Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Converting Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Converting Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-1n with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.

In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Company’s Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefore do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.

 

The Holder of the Note shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to the Note notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”). In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U. S .C. §362 in respect of such holder’s conversion privilege. The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of the Note.

In the event of any proposed transfer of this Note, the Company may require, prior to issuance of a new Note in the name of such other person, that it receive reasonable transfer documentation including legal opinions that the issuance of the Note in such other name does not and will not cause a violation of the Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company’s Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

5.       The Holder of the Note, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Note is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state Blue Sky or foreign laws or similar laws relating to the sale of securities.

Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.999% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof; the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of Note are convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder. If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of Note that would result in the issuance of in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date and, at the option of the Holder, either retain any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder for future conversions or return such excess principal amount to the Holder. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.

 9.       Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders or any rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company, unless and to the extent converted in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed by an officer thereunto duly authorized.

Section 4.            Conversion.

 

a)          Voluntary Conversion. At any time after the Original Issue Date until this Note is no longer outstanding, Note principal and/or at the election of the Holder accrued interest shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d) hereof). The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to Borrower a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of Conversion”), specifying therein the principal and/or interest amount of this Note to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”). If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder. To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to Borrower unless the entire principal amount of this Note has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Note or accrued interest, at the option of the Holder, in an amount equal to the applicable conversion. The Holder and Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal and interest amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s). Borrower may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion only within one (1) Business Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

 6 

 

 

b)           Conversion Price. The conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by the Holder shall be equal to the lesser of (i) $0.0025, or (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the lowest Closing Price of the Common Stock for the thirty (30) Trading Days preceding the Conversion Date, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).

 

c)           Mechanics of Conversion.

 

i.          Conversion Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Note to be converted plus interest elected by the Holder to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.

 

ii.         Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery Date”), Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the Conversion Shares which, on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) after the effective date or a current registration statement, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Purchase Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note. On or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Original Issue Date or (ii) the effective date, Borrower shall use its best efforts to deliver any certificate or certificates required to be delivered by Borrower under this Section 4(c) electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

 

iii.         Failure to Deliver Certificates. If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to Borrower at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event Borrower shall promptly return to the Holder any original Note delivered to Borrower and the Holder shall promptly return to Borrower the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

 

 7 

 

 

iv.         Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. Borrower’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to Borrower or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of Borrower to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided, however, that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by Borrower of any such action Borrower may have against the Holder. In the event the Holder of this Note shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, Borrower may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Note shall have been sought and obtained, and Borrower posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, Borrower shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable, cash, upon a properly noticed conversion. If Borrower fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, Borrower shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages being to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8 hereof for Borrower’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

 

v.           Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if Borrower fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder or Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then Borrower shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if Borrower had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 4(c)(ii). For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide Borrower written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of Borrower, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to Borrower’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

 8 

 

 

vi.          Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. Borrower covenants that it will from and after the Original Issue Date, and at all times thereafter reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Notes), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Note and interest which has accrued and would accrue on such principal amount, assuming such principal amount was not converted through the Maturity Date. Borrower covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

vii.         Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Note. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, Borrower shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

viii.        Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that, Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Note so converted and Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to Borrower the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of Borrower that such tax has been paid. Borrower shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion.

 

 9 

 

 

d)           Holder’s Conversion Limitations. Borrower shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, any other Notes or the Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to Borrower each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and Borrower shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) Borrower’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by Borrower, or (iii) a more recent written notice by Borrower or Borrower’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, Borrower shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of Borrower, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder may decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation at any time and the Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to Borrower, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to Borrower. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

Section 5.            Certain Adjustments.

 

a)          Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If Borrower, at any time while this Note is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by Borrower upon conversion of the Notes), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of Borrower, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of Borrower) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b)          Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 5(a) above, if at any time Borrower grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

d)          Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Note is outstanding, if Borrower shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Note, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Note (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

 11 

 

 

e)          Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) Borrower, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of Borrower with or into another Person, (ii) Borrower, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by Borrower or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) Borrower, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) Borrower, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) and Section 4(e) on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of Borrower, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) and Section 4(e) on the conversion of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1) share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and Borrower shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. Borrower shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which Borrower is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of Borrower under this Note and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Note, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of Borrower and shall assume all of the obligations of Borrower under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as Borrower herein.

 

 12 

 

 

f)           Subsequent Equity Sales. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, Borrower or any Subsidiary, as applicable, sells or grants any option to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 6(b) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. If Borrower enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Borrower shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. Borrower shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 6(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not Borrower provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 6(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.

 

g)           Calculations. All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of Borrower) issued and outstanding.

 

h)           Notice to the Holder.

 

i.            Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, Borrower shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

 13 

 

 

ii.          Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) Borrower shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) Borrower shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) Borrower shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of Borrower shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which Borrower is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) Borrower shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of Borrower, then, in each case, Borrower shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Note, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Note Register, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, Borrower shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to convert this Note during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

Section 6.            Redemption and Mandatory Conversion. Borrower shall have no right to require the Holder to surrender the Note for redemption, nor convert any part or all of this Note without the consent of the Holder.

 

Section 7.            Negative Covenants. As long as any portion of this Note remains outstanding, unless the holders of at least 51% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes which must include the Lead Investor shall have otherwise given prior written consent, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

 

a)          other than Permitted Indebtedness, enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including, but not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;

f)           pay cash dividends or distributions on any equity securities of Borrower;

 

g)          enter into any transaction with any Affiliate of Borrower which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing with the Commission, unless such transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis and expressly approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of Borrower (even if less than a quorum otherwise required for board approval);

 

h)          any material damage to, or loss, theft or destruction of, any Collateral, whether or not insured, or any strike, lockout, labor dispute, embargo, condemnation, or other casualty which causes, for more than fifteen (15) consecutive days, the cessation or substantial curtailment of revenue producing activities at any facility of Borrower or any Subsidiary, if any such event or circumstance could have a Material Adverse Effect; or

Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Note until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 8(b). No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 9.          Security Interest/Waiver of Automatic Stay. This Note is secured by a security interest granted to the Holder pursuant to a Security Agreement, as delivered by Borrower to Holder. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that should a proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against the Borrower or a Subsidiary, or if any of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) should become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Holder should be entitled to, among other relief to which the Holder may be entitled under the Transaction Documents and any other agreement to which the Borrower or a Subsidiary and Holder are parties (collectively, “Loan Documents”) and/or applicable law, an order from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 362 to permit the Holder to exercise all of its rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or applicable law. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE BENEFIT OF THE AUTOMATIC STAY IMPOSED BY 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362. FURTHERMORE, THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362 NOR ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE OR OTHER STATUTE OR RULE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 11 U.S.C. SECTION 105) SHALL STAY, INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE OR INHIBIT IN ANY WAY THE ABILITY OF THE HOLDER TO ENFORCE ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND/OR APPLICABLE LAW. The Borrower hereby consents to any motion for relief from stay that may be filed by the Holder in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding initiated by or against the Borrower and, further, agrees not to file any opposition to any motion for relief from stay filed by the Holder. The Borrower represents, acknowledges and agrees that this provision is a specific and material aspect of the Loan Documents, and that the Holder would not agree to the terms of the Loan Documents if this waiver were not a part of this Note. The Borrower further represents, acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made, that neither the Holder nor any person acting on behalf of the Holder has made any representations to induce this waiver, that the Borrower has been represented (or has had the opportunity to he represented) in the signing of this Note and the Loan Documents and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by the Borrower and that the Borrower has discussed this waiver with counsel.

e)         Waiver. Any waiver by Borrower or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Note shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Note. The failure of Borrower or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Note on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Note on any other occasion.

Borrower covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive Borrower from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and Borrower (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE CLASS A WARRANT

 

HARRISON VICKERS AND WATERMAN INC.

 

Warrant Shares: 64,000 Initial Exercise Date: July 29, 2015

 

Warrant No: A3

 

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, ALPHA CAPITAL ANSTALT, Lettstrasse 32, 9490 Vaduz, Principality of Liechtenstein Fax: + 423 232 31 96 or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the seven (7) year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from HARRISON VICKERS AND WATERMAN INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to 64,000 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

 

Section 1.          Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated April 21, 2015, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.

Section 2.            Exercise.

 

a)          Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto. Within two (2) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (although the Holder may surrender the Warrant to, and receive a replacement Warrant from, the Company), the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) Trading Day of delivery of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

b)          Exercise Price. The initial exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $0.0025, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

 

c)          Cashless Exercise. If at any time after the Initial Exercise Date, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised at the Holder’s election, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

(A)  =   the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date on which Holder elects to exercise this Warrant by means of a “cashless exercise,” as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;

 

(B)  =   the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

(X)  =   the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, unless the Holder notifies the Company otherwise, if there is no effective Registration Statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2(c).

  d)         Mechanics of Exercise.

 

i.Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) this Warrant is being exercised via cashless exercise and Rule 144 is available, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required) and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (including by cashless exercise, if permitted) (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares after the Warrant Share Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for late issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant the proportionate amount of $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day after the fifth (5th) Trading Day) after the Warrant Share Delivery Date for each $1,000 of Exercise Price of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised which are not timely delivered. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder may revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.

 

ii.          Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

iii.          Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right, at any time prior to issuance of such Warrant Shares, to rescind such exercise.

 

3
 

 

iv.          Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

v.          No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

vi.          Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise.

 

4
 

 

vii.          Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

e)           Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3.           Certain Adjustments.

 

a)          Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b)          Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

c)          Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock (which shall be subject to Section 3(b)), then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

6
 

 

d)          Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant) the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction that is (1) an all cash transaction, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or (3) a Fundamental Transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange or trading market (with such exchange or market including, without limitation, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market, The New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NYSE or Amex), the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable concurrently with the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder the higher of (i) an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, or (ii) the positive difference between the cash per share paid in such Fundamental Transaction minus the then in effect Exercise Price. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant based on the Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P. (“Bloomberg”) determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the “HVT” function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

e)           Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect, excluding Exempt Issuances as defined in the Purchase Agreement (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being understood and agreed that if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance at such effective price), then simultaneously with the consummation of each Dilutive Issuance the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 3(e) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance or deemed issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 3(e), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(e), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. If the Company enters into a Variable Rate Transaction, despite the prohibition thereon in the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall be deemed to have issued Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents at the lowest possible conversion or exercise price at which such securities may be converted or exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall not be deemed a Dilutive Issuance.

 

8
 

 

f)            Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

g)           Notice to Holder.

 

i.          Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii.         Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, to the extent that such information constitutes material non-public information (as determined in good faith by the Company) the Company shall follow the procedure described in Section 13 of the Subscription Agreement and shall deliver to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 4.           Transfer of Warrant.

 

a)          Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

b)          New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

10
 

 

c)          Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

Section 5.           Miscellaneous.

 

a)          No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(a).

 

b)          Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

c)          Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

 

d)          Authorized Shares.

 

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

11
 

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

e)         Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

f)          Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, or unless exercised in a cashless exercise when Rule 144 is available, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

 

g)         Non-waiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

 

h)         Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

i)          Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

12
 

 

j)          Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

k)         Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

l)          Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

 

m)        Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

n)         Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

ATTITUDE DRINKS INCORPORATED

 

PROMISSORY NOTE DUE DECEMBER 31, 2016

 

THIS Note is a duly authorized issuance of up to $25,000.00 of ATTITUDE DRINKS INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation and located at 712 U.S. Highway 1, Suite #200, North Palm Beach, Florida 33408 (the “Company”) designated as its Note, pursuant to the Consulting Agreement entered into by the Company and the Holder as of July 19, 2012.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to SOUTHRIDGE PARTNERS II, LP, the registered holder hereof (the “Holder”), the principal sum of twenty five thousand and 00/100 Dollars (US $25,000.00) on December 31, 2016 (the “Maturity Date”). The principal of this Note is payable at the option of the Holder at any time after the Maturity Date, in shares of the Company’s common stock, $.00001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) as set forth below, or in United States dollars, at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder. The Company will pay the outstanding principal amount of this Note in cash on the Maturity Date to the registered holder of this Note. The forwarding of such wire transfer shall constitute a payment hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer plus any amounts so deducted.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1.          The Note is issuable in denominations of Ten Thousand Dollars (US$10,000) and integral multiples thereof, provided that the number of shares to be issued upon conversion is a minimum of 3,000 (unless if at the time of election to convert the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion is less than 3,000). The Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Note of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange.

 

1
 

 

2.          The Holder of this Note is entitled any time after the Maturity Date, subject to the following provisions, to convert all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to the Current Market Price multiplied by eighty percent (80%) (the “Conversion Price”). “Current Market Price” means the average of the closing bid prices for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP or, if not so reported, as reported on the over-the-counter market, for the five (5) trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the relevant Conversion Date (as defined below). The amount of shares issuable pursuant to a conversion shall equal the principal amount (or portion thereof) of the Note to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price.

 

Conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering the Note to the Company, accompanied by or preceded by facsimile or other delivery to the Company of the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert a specified portion hereof No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The date on which notice of conversion is given (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder faxes or otherwise delivers the conversion notice (“Notice of Conversion”), substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed, to the Company. Facsimile delivery of the Notice of Conversion shall be accepted by the Company at facsimile number ________ ) ATTN: Chief Financial Officer. Certificates representing Common Stock upon conversion will be delivered within three (3) business days from the Conversion Date. (“Delivery Date”)

 

The Company understands that a delay in the issuance of the Shares of Common Stock beyond the Delivery Date (as defined in this Section) could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late issuance of Shares upon Conversion, unless the delay is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Company or the Transfer Agent, in accordance with the following schedule (where “No. Business Days Late” refers to the number of business days which is beyond three (3)) business days after the Delivery Date):’

 

No. Business Days Late   Late Payment For Each $10,000
of Note Principal or Interest
Amount Being Converted
   
1 $100
2 $200
3 $300
4 $400
5 $500
6 $600
7 $700
8 $800
9 $900
10 $1,000
>10 $1,000+$200 for each Business Day Late beyond 10 days

 

2
 

 

The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand as the Holder’s remedy for such delay. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of such shares of Common Stock by close of business on the Delivery Date, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion; provided, however, that an amount equal to any payments contemplated by this Section which have accrued through the date of such revocation notice shall remain due and owing to the Converting Holder notwithstanding such revocation.

 

If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Note and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note being converted (a “Converting Holder”) purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Converting Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Converting Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the Converting Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Converting Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-hi Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Converting Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Converting Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Converting Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Converting Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-1n with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.

In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Company’s Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefore do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.

 

The Holder of the Note shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to the Note notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”). In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U. S .C. §362 in respect of such holder’s conversion privilege. The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of the Note.

 

3.          This Note has been issued subject to investment representations of the original purchaser hereof and may be transferred or exchanged only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and other applicable state and foreign securities laws. In the event of any proposed transfer of this Note, the Company may require, prior to issuance of a new Note in the name of such other person, that it receive reasonable transfer documentation including legal opinions that the issuance of the Note in such other name does not and will not cause a violation of the Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company’s Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

4.          No provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. This Note is a direct obligation of the Company.

 

5.          The Holder of the Note, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Note is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state Blue Sky or foreign laws or similar laws relating to the sale of securities.

 

6.          This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut. Each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of the federal or state courts whose districts encompass any part of the State of Connecticut in connection with any dispute arising under this Note and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non coveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions.

Each of the parties hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in connection with any dispute arising under this Note.

b.Any of the representations or warranties made by the Company herein, in any certificate or financial or other written statements heretofore or hereafter furnished by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note shall be false or misleading in any material respect at the time made; or

ATTITUDE DRINKS INCORPORATED

 

PROMISSORY NOTE DUE JANUARY1, 2017

 

THIS Note is a duly authorized issuance of up to $25,000.00 of ATTITUDE DRINKS INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation and located at 712 U.S. Highway 1, Suite #200, North Palm Beach, Florida 33408 (the “Company”) designated as its Note, pursuant to the Consulting Agreement entered into by the Company and the Holder as of July 19, 2012.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Company promises to pay to SOUTHRIDGE PARTNERS II, LP, the registered holder hereof (the “Holder”), the principal sum of twenty five thousand and 00/100 Dollars (US $25,000.00) on January 1, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”). The principal of this Note is payable at the option of the Holder at any time after the Maturity Date, in shares of the Company’s common stock, $.00001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) as set forth below, or in United States dollars, at the address last appearing on the Note Register of the Company as designated in writing by the Holder. The Company will pay the outstanding principal amount of this Note in cash on the Maturity Date to the registered holder of this Note. The forwarding of such wire transfer shall constitute a payment hereunder and shall satisfy and discharge the liability for principal on this Note to the extent of the sum represented by such check or wire transfer plus any amounts so deducted.

 

This Note is subject to the following additional provisions:

 

1.          The Note is issuable in denominations of Ten Thousand Dollars (US$10,000) and integral multiples thereof, provided that the number of shares to be issued upon conversion is a minimum of 3,000 (unless if at the time of election to convert the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion is less than 3,000). The Note is exchangeable for an equal aggregate principal amount of Note of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange.

 

 1 

 

 

2.          The Holder of this Note is entitled any time after the Maturity Date, subject to the following provisions, to convert all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to the Current Market Price multiplied by eighty percent (80%) (the “Conversion Price”). “Current Market Price” means the average of the closing bid prices for the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, LP or, if not so reported, as reported on the over-the-counter market, for the five (5) trading days ending on the trading day immediately before the relevant Conversion Date (as defined below). The amount of shares issuable pursuant to a conversion shall equal the principal amount (or portion thereof) of the Note to be converted, divided by the Conversion Price.

 

Conversion shall be effectuated by surrendering the Note to the Company, accompanied by or preceded by facsimile or other delivery to the Company of the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Exhibit A, executed by the Holder evidencing such Holder’s intention to convert a specified portion hereof No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The date on which notice of conversion is given (the “Conversion Date”) shall be deemed to be the date on which the Holder faxes or otherwise delivers the conversion notice (“Notice of Conversion”), substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed, to the Company. Facsimile delivery of the Notice of Conversion shall be accepted by the Company at facsimile number ________ ) ATTN: Chief Financial Officer. Certificates representing Common Stock upon conversion will be delivered within three (3) business days from the Conversion Date. (“Delivery Date”)

 

The Company understands that a delay in the issuance of the Shares of Common Stock beyond the Delivery Date (as defined in this Section) could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late issuance of Shares upon Conversion, unless the delay is due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the Company or the Transfer Agent, in accordance with the following schedule (where “No. Business Days Late” refers to the number of business days which is beyond three (3)) business days after the Delivery Date):’

 
No. Business Days Late

Late Payment For Each $10,000
of Note Principal or Interest
Amount Being Converted

   
1 $100
2 $200
3 $300
4 $400
5 $500
6 $600
7 $700
8 $800
9 $900
10 $1,000
>10 $1,000+$200 for each Business Day Late beyond 10 days

 

 2 

 

 

The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand as the Holder’s remedy for such delay. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of such shares of Common Stock by close of business on the Delivery Date, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion; provided, however, that an amount equal to any payments contemplated by this Section which have accrued through the date of such revocation notice shall remain due and owing to the Converting Holder notwithstanding such revocation.

 

If, by the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails, unless such failure is due to causes beyond the Company’s reasonable control or that of its Transfer Agent, for any reason to deliver the Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Note and after such Delivery Date, the Holder of the Note being converted (a “Converting Holder”) purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Converting Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Converting Holder anticipated to make using the Shares to be issued upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), the Converting Holder shall have the right, to require the Company to pay to the Converting Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts due hereunder (but in addition to all other amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Agreements, and not in lieu of any such other amounts), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-hi Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Converting Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Converting Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Company in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Converting Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Converting Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-1n with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Converting Holder will be $1,000.

In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Company’s Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in this paragraph, so long as the certificates therefore do not bear a legend and the Holder thereof is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system.

 

The Holder of the Note shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to the Note notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”). In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U. S .C. §362 in respect of such holder’s conversion privilege. The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of the Note.

In the event of any proposed transfer of this Note, the Company may require, prior to issuance of a new Note in the name of such other person, that it receive reasonable transfer documentation including legal opinions that the issuance of the Note in such other name does not and will not cause a violation of the Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws. Prior to due presentment for transfer of this Note, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is duly registered on the Company’s Note Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

5.          The Holder of the Note, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Note is being acquired for investment and that such Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Note or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Act or any applicable state Blue Sky or foreign laws or similar laws relating to the sale of securities.
