Summary of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization and Business

 

US Highland, Inc. was originally formed as a limited liability company on February 5, 1999 under the name The Powerhouse, L.L.C. pursuant to the laws of the State of Oklahoma. On November 9, 2006, Powerhouse Productions, L.L.C. filed Articles of Conversion changing the entity from a limited liability company to a corporation under the name Harcom Productions, Inc. On January 25, 2010, Articles of Merger were filed with the State of Oklahoma merging U.S. Highland, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation into Harcom Productions, Inc. and the name of the corporation was changed to US Highland, Inc. US Highland, Inc. (the "Company") is a recreational power sports Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM"), developing motorcycles, quads, single cylinder engines, and v-twin engines under its own brand and for other OEMs.

 

On September 23, 2015, the Company incorporated two wholly-owned subsidiaries, USH Distribution Corp., a Nevada corporation, and Powersports Brand Alliance, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The subsidiaries were formed to provide sales, marketing and distribution services of their power sport products and accessories.

 

On September 25, 2015, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with M&M Sourcing Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian entity ("M&M") and jointly formed Lahva, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Lahva"). The Company's and M&M's equity stake in Lahva is 40% and 60%, respectively. As at March 31, 2016, there were no activities in Lahva.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, US Highlands Electric Inc., USH Distribution Corp., and Powersports Brand Alliance, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise indicated) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

 

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such principles and the financial results for the periods presented may not be indicative of the full year's results. The Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2016 (the "2015 Annual Report").

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2015 Annual Report.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going-concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, and as of March 31, 2016, current liabilities exceed current assets by $5,807,194, and the Company has an accumulated deficit of $75,527,172. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain adequate funding to support its operations through continuing investments of debt and/or equity by qualified investors/creditors, internally generated working capital and monetization of intellectual property assets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management is currently pursuing a business strategy which includes raising the necessary funds to finance the Company's development, marketing and manufacturing efforts.

Convertible Debentures

 
a)

Effective January 25, 2010, the Company issued a convertible note for $225,000. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the loan was unsecured, non-interest bearing, and was due on December 21, 2010. The note was convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at any time at a variable conversion price equal to 65% of the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock during the 28 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice and was subject to adjustment upon the issuance of certain dilutive instruments. Due to these provisions, the embedded conversion option qualified for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the derivative liability of $538,249 resulted in a full discount to the note payable of $225,000 and the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $313,249.

 
On June 2, 2010, the Company issued 6,386 restricted shares of common stock upon the conversion of the principal amount of $166,667. The fair value of the derivative liability at June 2, 2010, was $266,425 and $197,352 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital upon conversion. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company repaid $2,000 of the note, during the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company repaid an additional $3,000, and during the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company repaid $1,000. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying value of the note was $52,333 and $52,333, respectively. The note is in default at March 31, 2016.
 
b) On July 25, 2013, the Company issued a convertible note for up to $500,000 and warrants to purchase 12,500,000 underlying shares of the Company's common stock. The warrants are exercisable into 10,000,000 common shares of the Company at $0.05 per share and 2,500,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share until July 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received proceeds of $500,000 under the note. The note bears interest at 8% per annum compounded monthly, and principal and interest are due on July 31, 2014. In addition, so long as any amounts are due hereunder, the Company is obligated to remit to the lender 100% of all revenues, payments and receivables from the sale of the first 50 engines sold by the Company. The note is secured against substantially all of the assets of the Company.
 
The note may be prepaid by the Company without penalty with 30 days prior notice. The note is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at any time at a conversion price equal to $0.02 per share and is subject to adjustment upon the issuance of certain dilutive instruments and other events. The conversion price was subsequently reduced to $0.01 per share upon the failure to file various reports with the SEC within 120 days of the issuance of the note.
 
Due to the potential adjustments to the conversion feature and the inability to conclude that the Company has enough unissued-authorized common shares to settle the warrants, the embedded conversion option and the warrants qualify for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging . The initial fair value of the conversion feature of $6,714,279 and warrants of $3,169,531 resulted in a discount to the note payable of $500,000 and the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $9,383,810.
 
On July 24, 2014, the Company and the note holder agreed to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2014, and increase the interest rate to 12% starting on August 1, 2014. The Company accounted for the modification in accordance with ASC 405-20 and ASC 470-50-40. As the present value of the future cash flows was more than 10% different than the cash flows of the original debt, it was determined that the original and new debt instruments are substantially different and the Company treated the original convertible note extinguished and exchanged for a new convertible note. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $474,668. The Company also recognized the fair value of the embedded conversion feature of $24,501,757 as a derivative liability and reduced the value of the convertible loan to $nil.
 
On December 31, 2014, the Company and the note holder agreed to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2015. Interest shall accrue at 12% per annum but may be reduced to 8% for any period of time in which the interest is paid in cash and not accrued. The Company accounted for the modification in accordance with ASC 405-20 and ASC 470-50-40. As the present value of the future cash flows was more than 10% different than the cash flows of the original debt, it was determined that the original and new debt instruments are substantially different and the Company treated the original convertible note extinguished and exchanged for a new convertible note. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $411,820. The Company also recognized the fair value of the embedded conversion feature of $25,088,180 as a derivative liability and reduced the value of the convertible loan to $nil.
 
On December 31, 2015, the Company and the note holder agreed to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2016. Interest shall accrue at 12% per annum but may be reduced to 8% for any period of time in which the interest is paid in cash and not accrued. The Company accounted for the modification in accordance with ASC 405-20 and ASC 470-50-40. As the present value of the future cash flows was more than 10% different than the cash flows of the original debt, it was determined that the original and new debt instruments are substantially different and the Company treated the original convertible note extinguished and exchanged for a new convertible note. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $492,585. The Company also recognized the fair value of the embedded conversion feature of $16,507,415 as a derivative liability and reduced the value of the convertible loan to $nil.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded total accretion of $26,591. At March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, the carrying value of the note was $26,591 and $nil with unamortized discount of $473,409 and $500,000, respectively.

c)

On February 11, 2016, the Company entered into two convertible promissory notes for a total of  $275,000, pursuant to which the Company received proceeds of $237,000, net of an original issue discount of $25,000 and legal fees of $13,000. The notes are convertible at a price equal to 60% of the lowest trading price of the Company's common stock for the 20 prior trading days, bearing interest at 8% per annum and due on February 11, 2017. Due to these provisions, the embedded conversion options qualified for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the derivative liabilities of $308,492 resulted in a full discount to the note payable of $249,000 and the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $59,492.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded total accretion of $2,154. At March 31, 2016, the carrying value of the notes was $3,154 with unamortized discount of $271,846.

Derivative Liabilities

 

The embedded conversion options of the Company's convertible debentures described in Note 6 contain conversion features that qualify for embedded derivative classification. The warrants described in Notes 6 and 9 also qualify for derivative classification. The fair value of these liabilities will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in the statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.

 

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company's Level 3 financial liabilities:

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities and embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on various assumptions. The model incorporates the price of a share of the Company's common stock (as quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board), volatility, risk free rate, dividend rate and estimated life. Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations:

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased to $12,518,382, compared to net loss of $8,272,069 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company recorded an unrealized gain as a result of a decrease in the fair value of derivatives of $12,922,011 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to an unrealized loss as a result of an increase in the fair value of derivatives of $8,029,314 during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The increase of $48,709 related to interest recorded for convertible debentures outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2016 that were not outstanding during the comparative period.    

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had cash of $24,646 and a working capital deficiency of $5,807,194. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain future financing, upon cash generated from our operations and our ability to borrow cash when needed from related parties. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company received total of $237,500 of net proceeds for the issuance notes payable to two third parties.

 

We estimated that we will require cash of $1,013,500 over the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. The Company has $500,000 of convertible notes outstanding for which principal and interest was originally due on July 31, 2014. The convertible notes were extended and are now due on December 31, 2016. These notes are further described in Note 6 of the financial statements. Management believes that our cash balance will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve-month period. We plan to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirement for the next twelve months primarily through equity and or debt financings. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued working capital requirements.

 
 
As previously reported on a Form 8-K filed on February 23, 2016, on February 11, 2016, the Company entered into the two following financing arrangements:
 

Adar Bays, LLC

 

On February 11, 2016, the Company completed a financing pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with Adar Bays, LLC ("Adar Bays") providing for the purchase of four convertible promissory notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $275,000, with the first note being in the amount of $137,500, the second note being in the amount of $41,250, the third note being in the amount of $41,250, and the fourth note being in the amount of $55,000) (together with any note(s) issued in replacement thereof or as a dividend thereon or otherwise with respect thereto in accordance with the terms thereof, the "Notes"). The First Note was funded on February 17, 2016 and matures on February 11, 2017. The First Note may be converted by the holder, at its option, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of the First Note then outstanding into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price for each share of Common Stock equal to 60% of the lowest trading price of the Common Stock as reported on the OTCQB maintained by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. upon which the Company's shares are traded or any exchange upon which the Common Stock may be traded in the future, for the 20 prior trading days including the day upon which a Notice of Conversion is received by the Company or its transfer agent.

Upon (i) a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (ii) a reclassification, capital reorganization or other change or exchange of outstanding shares of the Common Stock, or (iii) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another person or entity in which the Company is not the surviving entity (other than a merger which is effected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock solely into shares of Common Stock) (each of items (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to as a "Sale Event"), then, in each case, the Company shall, upon request of the Holder, redeem this Note in cash for 150% of the principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or at the election of the Holder, such Holder may convert the unpaid principal amount of this Note (together with the amount of accrued but unpaid interest) into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Sale Event at the Conversion Price.

The closing of the Third Note shall occur on the fourth (4 th ) monthly anniversary of the closing of the First Note. The closing of the Fourth Note shall occur on the sixth (6 th ) monthly anniversary of the closing of the First Note. Each closing shall be contingent upon the Common Stock of the Company maintaining a closing bid price in excess of $0.18 for the 10 prior trading days and an aggregate trading volume of not less than $200,000 for the ten prior trading days. The Notes shall contain a 10% OID such that the purchase price shall be: $125,000 for the First Note, $37,500 for the Second Note, $37,500 for the Third Note, and $55,000 for the Fourth Note.

 

The Notes also contain certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, and increases in the amount of the principal and interest rates under the Notes in the event of such defaults. The Notes may be prepaid by the Company at any time during the first 180 days after the date of issuance of the Notes subject to the payment of prepayment penalties as described in the Notes.

 

Also, as previously reported on a Form 8-K filed on March 2, 2016, on March 1, 2016, the Company entered into that certain agreement (the "Agreement") with Mr. John D. Gibbs ("Gibbs" or the "Lender"), relating to that certain convertible promissory note, as amended, issued by the Company to Gibbs on July 23, 2013 for the principal amount of $500,000 and secured by all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company pursuant to that certain Security Agreement, dated July 23, 2013, between the Company and the Lender (the "Note").

 

The Note, as amended, matures on December 31, 2016. From July 23, 2013, the issue date of the Note, until July 31, 2014, the original maturity date, the principal amount of the Note bore interest at a rate of 8%, compounded monthly, per annum. On December 31, 2015, the parties agreed that, effective as of August 31, 2014, the interest rate was increased to 12% per annum; provided, however, that it may be reduced to 8% for any period of time in which interest is paid in cash and not accrued.

Going Concern

 

The Company has no revenues and has incurred net losses. In addition, at March 31, 2016, there was an accumulated deficit of $75,527,172. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or available from external sources such as debt or equity financings, or other potential sources. The inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources will force the Company to substantially curtail and cease operations, therefore, having a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any funds, if available, will possess attractive terms or not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Management's Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

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 defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ''Exchange Act''). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2016 in ensuring that material information that we are required to disclose in 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 rules and forms.

 

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

On January 7, 2016, Josh W. Whitaker resigned, effective immediately, as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and from its Board of Directors, as well as an executive officer and director of the Company's two subsidiaries, USH Distribution Corp. ("USH") and Powersports Brands Alliance, Inc. ("PBA") On January 8, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Kevin G. Malone as the President of the Company, to serve at the pleasure of the Board until his respective successor is duly appointed or until his earlier resignation or removal. Also on January 8, 2016, Mr. Malone was appointed by each of the Boards of Directors of USH and PBA as the President of USH and PBA, respectively, to serve at the pleasure of each Board until his respective successor is duly appointed or until his earlier resignation or removal.

 

Other than the foregoing, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Mr. Fitzpatrick and Mr. Pfaff have answered the Petition and asserted various counterclaims against the Company and third party claims against directors of the Company and one of the Company's attorneys.

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, fully and completely released and discharged each other from all claims, actions, demands, costs, losses, damages, expenses and causes of actions of every kind relating to Mr. Fitzpatrick's and Mr. Pfaff's previous employment with the Company, including claims separately filed by Mr. Fitzpatrick and Mr. Pfaff with the Oklahoma Department of Labor and subsequently appealed by them and the Company in the District Court in and for Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma, and the civil action between the Company and each of Mr. Fitzpatrick and Mr. Pfaff now pending in the Tulsa County District Court of Oklahoma. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Fitzpatrick and Mr. Pfaff an aggregate settlement amount of $200,000 in two installments. The Company and the directors also agreed to execute and deliver a pocket judgment against them, which shall not be filed by Mr. Fitzpatrick and Mr. Pfaff unless the Company fails to make the scheduled payments under the Settlement Agreement.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.
