NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

JULY 31, 2016  

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Jammin Java Corp. (the “ Company ”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted. The accompanying balance sheet at January 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited balance sheet contained in such Form 10-K.

 

As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “ we, ” “ us, ” “ our, ” “ Jammin Java ” and the “ Company ” mean Jammin Java Corp., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this Quarterly Report are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

 

Note 2. Going Concern and Liquidity

 

These financial statements have been prepared by management assuming that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $4,381,788 for the six months ended July 31, 2016, and has an accumulated deficit since inception of $33,627,538. The Company has a history of losses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the issuance of debt instruments as well as the sale of its common stock. The Company will, in the future, need to secure additional funds through future equity sales or other fund raising activities. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.

 

The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon its ability to sell its products directly to end-users and through distributors, establish profitable operations through increased sales and decreased expenses, and obtain additional funds when needed. Management intends to increase sales by increasing the Company’s product offerings, expanding its direct sales force and expanding its domestic and international distributor relationships.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase sales, reduce expenses or obtain additional financing, if necessary, at a level to meet its current obligations. As a result, the opinion the Company received from its independent registered public accounting firm on its January 31, 2016 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph stating that there is a substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Note 3. Business Overview and Summary of Accounting Policies

 

Jammin Java, doing business as Marley Coffee, is a United States (“U.S.”)-based company that provides sustainably grown, ethically farmed and artisan roasted gourmet coffee through multiple U.S. and international distribution channels, using the Marley Coffee brand name. U.S. and international grocery retail channels have become the Company’s largest revenue channels, followed by online retail, office coffee services (referred to herein as OCS), food service outlets and licensing. The Company intends to continue to develop these revenue channels and achieve a leadership position in the gourmet coffee space by capitalizing on the global recognition of the Marley name through the licensing of the Marley Coffee trademarks.

 

Reclassifications.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation for comparative purposes.

 

Use of Estimates in Financial Statement Preparation.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“ GAAP ”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as certain financial statement disclosures. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is derived from the sale of coffee products and is recognized on a gross basis upon shipment to the customer. All revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) the service or sale is completed; (iii) the price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized as the net amount estimated to be received after deducting estimated amounts for discounts, trade allowances and product terms. We record promotional and return allowances based on recent and historical trends. Promotional allowances, including customer incentive and trade promotion activities, are recorded as a reduction to sales based on amounts estimated being due to customers, based primarily on historical utilization and redemption rates. Discounts and promotional allowances deducted from sales for the six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015 were $556,636 and $479,758, respectively.

 

The Company utilizes third parties for the production and fulfillment of orders placed by customers. The Company, acting as principal, takes title to the product and assumes the risks of ownership; namely, the risks of loss for collection, delivery and returns.

 

Accounts due to/due from Roasters. We source coffee that we sell to our roaster, Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee Inc. (“ Mother Parkers ”), a related party and shareholder of the Company, who in turn sells it to its own customers. This is especially the case with Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee secured by us. At July 31, 2016, we are owed $584,455 by Mother Parkers. We also utilize the services of Mother Parkers, to roast coffee to our specifications for sale to the Company’s customers. As a result, at July 31, 2016, we owed $2,174,916 to Mother Parkers for roasting services. The liabilities are presented as a net liability of $1,590,461 in accounts payable on the balance sheet.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are subject to offset and presented as net amounts in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to offset amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Company does not have offset rights with respect to Mother Parkers due to/due from amounts at July 31, 2016.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company does not require collateral from its customers with respect to accounts receivable. The Company determines any required allowance by considering a number of factors, including the terms for each customer, and the length of time accounts receivable are outstanding. Management provides an allowance for accounts receivable whenever it is evident that they become uncollectible. The Company has reserved an allowance of $78,760 and $78,760, respectively for doubtful accounts at July 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016. Because our accounts receivable are concentrated in a relatively few number of customers, a significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the collectability of our accounts receivable and our future operating results.

 

  F- 5  

 

 

Inventories.  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed using weighted average cost, which approximates actual cost, on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories on hand are evaluated on an on-going basis to determine if any items are obsolete or in excess of future needs. Items determined to be obsolete are reserved for. The Company provides for the possible inability to sell its inventories b y providing an excess inventory reserve. As of July 31, 2016 and January 31, 2016, inventory was not significant.

 

Property and Equipment.  Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Maintenance and repairs, as incurred, are charged to expense. Renewals and enhancements which extend the life or improve existing equipment are capitalized. Upon disposition or retirement of equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.  Long-lived assets consist primarily of a license agreement that was recorded at the estimated cost to acquire the asset. The license agreement is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable (see Note 4). Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values. Management evaluated the carrying value of long-lived assets including the license and determined that no impairment existed at July 31, 2016.

 

Stock-Based Compensation .  Pursuant to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC ”) 718-10, Compensation – Stock Compensation , which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee service, management utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.

 

Common stock issued for services to non-employees is recorded based on the value of the services or the value of the common stock, whichever is more clearly determinable. Whenever the value of the services is not determinable, the measurement date occurs generally at the date of issuance of the stock. In more limited cases, it occurs when a commitment for performance has been reached with the counterparty and nonperformance is subject to significant disincentives. If the total value of stock issued exceeds the par value, the value in excess of the par value is added to the additional paid-in-capital. We estimate volatility of our publicly-listed common stock by considering historical stock volatility.

 

Income Taxes.  The Company follows FASB ASC 740,  Income Taxes . The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on net operating loss carry forwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Earnings or Loss Per Common Share.  Basic earnings or loss per common share equals net earnings or loss divided by the weighted average of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings or loss per share includes the impact on dilution from all contingently issuable shares, including options, warrants and convertible securities. The common stock equivalents from contingent shares are determined by the treasury stock method. The Company incurred a net loss for the three months and six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As a result, contingently issuable shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented. In addition, basic and diluted earnings or loss per share for such periods are the same because all potential common equivalent shares total 21,580,195 shares were excluded from the calculation.

 

  F- 6  

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements . Accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are being evaluated by the Company to determine whether adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Note 4 . Trademark License Agreements and Intangible Assets

 

On June 27, 2016, and effective June 24, 2016, Fifty-Six Hope Road Music Limited (“ 56 Hope Road ”) provided the Company with a notice of the termination of the fifteen year license agreement entered into with 56 Hope Road on September 13, 2012 (the “ License Agreement ”). 56 Hope Road terminated the License Agreement due to the Company’s alleged breach of certain of its terms, including, but not limited to, the Company’s failure to deliver quarterly statements in a timely manner, the Company’s failure to timely make licensing payments, the Company’s failure to deliver audited financial statements in a timely manner, and the SEC’s complaint against the Company. Some of these breaches were due to cash flow issues and corporate governance matters.

 

Rohan Marley, our former Chairman, owns an interest in 56 Hope Road.

 

On July 6, 2016, the Company and Hope Road Merchandising, LLC (“ HRM ”), which exclusively controls all licensing of 56 Hope Road’s intellectual property rights, entered into a Short Term License Agreement (the “ Short-Term License ”) in exchange for a Secured Promissory Note for $297,324. The Secured Promissory Note bears interest at 0.71% per year and is payable along with accrued interest at maturity on August 31, 2016. This note is currently in default and a party to the litigation described below. The Short-Term License provides the Company the right to use the “Marley Coffee” trademarks (the “Trademarks”) from June 27, 2016 until December 27, 2016 (a term of six months). This note is currently in default and the subject of the litigation described below.

 

The Company planned to continue to work with HRM and 56 Hope Road in good faith to try to extend the terms of the Short-Term License and remain partners, as well as to preserve shareholder value. Notwithstanding that, on July 21, 2016, HRM and 56 Hope Road provided the Company notice of the termination of the Short-Term License and demanded that all use of the Trademarks cease immediately. 56 Hope Road terminated the Short-Term License due to the Company’s alleged breach of certain of the terms of the Short-Term License, including, but not limited to, the Company’s failure to deliver quarterly statements and annual audited financial statements in a timely manner, and issues raised regarding security interests alleged to have been granted by the Company in connection with the licenses, to various third parties in alleged violation of the licenses. The Company believes that the termination notice received on July 21, 2016 as well as the termination of the License Agreement, was without merit and that 56 Hope Road has no reasonable basis for such terminations.  

 

On August 1, 2016, 56 Hope Road and HRM filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Central Division (Case No. BC628981). The complaint (a) seeks a declaratory judgment relating to the termination of the licenses, (b) seeks damages for our alleged (i) breaches of the License Agreement and Short-Term License, (ii) tortious interference with 56 Hope Road’s and HRM’s economic relationships with licenses and prospective licensees, and (iii) trademark infringement; (c) requests an accounting of our books and records; and (d) requests punitive and exemplary damages in connection with allegations of fraud and misrepresentation. The Company vehemently denies the allegations made by 56 Hope Road and HRM, and plans to vigorously defend themselves against the claims made in the complaint.

 

On August 4, 2016, the Company filed (a) a notice of removal with the court, requesting the case be removed from state court to the United States District Court for the Central District of California; (b) a request for a temporary restraining order requesting the court to reinstate the Short-Term License until a final decision on the pending lawsuit is determined; and (c) an answer to the complaint denying the allegations of 56 Hope Road and HRM, including certain affirmative defenses, and pleading counterclaims against (i) 56 Hope Road for breach of contract and breach of implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing, (ii) 56 Hope Road and HRM for intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage and intentional and negligent misrepresentation, and (iii) breach of fiduciary duty against Rohan Marley, and seeking that the court enter judgment in favor of the Company on all claims alleged by 56 Hope Road and HRM and further seeking economic damages, punitive and exemplary damages, pre-and-post judgment interest and court costs from 56 Hope Road, HRM and Rohan Marley.

The case was then removed to the United States District Court of California Western Division (Case No. 2:16-cv-05810-SVW-MRW). 56 Hope Road and HRM subsequently amended their complaint to seek damages for alleged breach of contract in connection with the License Agreement and Short-Term License, declaratory relief in connection with the License Agreement and Short-Term License (i.e., that such agreements have been effectively terminated by us), interference with prospective economic advantage, trademark infringement, accountings, fraud, and indemnity. The Company denied the allegations, asserted certain several affirmative defenses and filed counterclaims against Rohan Marley for breach of fiduciary duty and civil conspiracy, which claims 56 Hope Road, HRM and Rohan Marley have moved to be dismissed. Trial is currently set for March 2017. The Company believes that pending the outcome of the litigation, it is legally able to utilize the trademark through the term of the Short-Term License.

 

In the event that the Company is unable, through the pending litigation or otherwise, to obtain rights to the Trademarks, it will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to generate revenue, the Company’s results of operations and assets, could force the Company to abandon or attempt to change its business operations, which are currently solely focused on monetizing the Trademarks, and may force the Company to seek bankruptcy protection, all of which could cause the value of the Company’s common stock to decline in value or become worthless. Furthermore, the Company believes that its ability to generate revenue will be significantly limited during the period the lawsuit described above is pending.

 

Intangible assets primarily relate to our License Agreement with 56 Hope Road. The License Agreement had been amortized using a life of fifteen years since its inception. The Company believes that the license with 56 Hope Road is still currently valid and continues to operate as such. Management, in consultation with its legal team, do not believe the license is impaired until such time that the license has been evacuated from a legal perspective.

Pursuant to the Typenex SPA, the Company issued to Typenex convertible promissory notes with a total principal amount of $1,005,000 in the form of: (a) an initial tranche of $255,000 in cash (the “ Typenex Note ”), and (b) three promissory notes of $250,000 each. The Typenex Note has a term of 20 months and an interest rate of 10% per annum (22% upon an event of default). The gross proceeds to the Company from the Typenex SPA were $1,005,000, in the form of: (a) an initial tranche of $250,000 in cash, and (b) three promissory notes of $250,000 each (collectively, the “ Investor Notes ”). Typenex and the Company must mutually agree to fund one or more of the three additional Investor Notes. As of July 31, 2016, none of the additional three tranches were funded and only $255,000 had been funded. Each of the Investor Notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum until paid and are secured by a Membership Interest Pledge Agreement. Beginning in March 2016, and on the same day of each month thereafter until the maturity date, the Company is required to pay to Typenex monthly installments of principal equal to $75,000 (or such lesser principal amount as is then outstanding), plus the sum of any accrued and unpaid interest. Alternatively, Typenex or the Company may elect to convert an installment amount into Common Stock at the lower of (a) $0.30 per share, and (b) if the Company’s market capitalization falls below $3,000,000, the Market Price conversion price shall be adjusted to the market price as of the applicable date, applying a discount of 40%.

The Typenex Note also includes repricing features whereby if the Company sells or issues any common stock or other securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Common Stock for a price per share that is less than the conversion price applicable under the Typenex Note, then such lower price will apply to all subsequent conversions by Typenex. The repricing feature of the conversion feature was considered to be derivative liabilities and accordingly, the Company recorded approximately a $178,000 discount to debt. During the quarter ended July 31, 2016, the outstanding balance was repaid in full. Upon repayment, the derivative liability of approximately $58,000 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

 

From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business.

 

On September 30, 2014, Shane Whittle, individually, a former significant shareholder and officer and director of the Company (“ Whittle ”), and derivatively on behalf of Marley Coffee LLC (“ MCL ”) filed a complaint against Rohan Marley, Cedella Marley, the Company, HRM , 56 Hope Road , and Marley Coffee Estate Limited (“ Marley Coffee Estate ”) in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (Civil Action No. 2014-CV-2680).

 

The complaint alleged that Whittle entered into a partnership with Rohan Marley, the son of the late reggae music legend Robert Nesta Marley p/k/a Bob Marley, to sell premium coffee products branded after the name and likeness of Rohan Marley. The causes of action set forth in the complaint included, among others, racketeering activity, trademark infringement, breach of fiduciary duty, civil theft, and civil conspiracy (some of which causes of action were not directly alleged against the Company), which were alleged to have directly caused Whittle and MCL substantial financial harm. Damages claimed by Whittle and MCL included economic damages to be proven at trial, profits made by defendants, treble damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and pre and post judgment interest.

 

Effective on May 19, 2016, Whittle, MCL, Rohan Marley, Cedella Marley, the Company, HRM and 56 Hope Road entered into a Settlement Agreement in connection with the proceeding described above (at the same time Whittle entered into a separate settlement agreement with Marley Coffee Estate). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, (a) Whittle agreed to resign as a manager of MCL, assign his approximate 29% membership interest in MCL to MCL for $1.00 of total consideration, and also consented to the redemption of certain other outstanding membership interests in such entity; (b) Whittle agreed to cancel and terminate the options to purchase 2 million shares of the Company’s common stock which he held as of the date of the parties’ entry into the Settlement Agreement for $1.00 of total consideration; (c) Whittle agreed to release and waive any rights to any past due or future due payments owed by the Company under the Settlement described above, including releasing the remaining amount of $10,000 which Whittle was due pursuant to such Settlement; (d) Whittle provided a general release to each of the defendants (including the Company and Rohan Marley) from all claims, liability and obligations which Whittle had against such defendants; and (e) each of the defendants (including the Company and Rohan Marley) provided Whittle a general release from all claims, liability and obligations which such defendants had against Whittle.

 

In connection with the entry into the Settlement Agreement and the settlement of the lawsuit, the lawsuit described above was dismissed.

 

On November 17, 2015, the SEC filed a complaint against us (Case 2:15-cv-08921) in the United States District Court Central District of California Western Division. Also included as defendants in the complaint were Shane G. Whittle (our former Chief Executive Officer and Director) and parties unrelated to us, Wayne S. P. Weaver, Michael K. Sun, Rene Berlinger, Stephen B. Wheatley, Kevin P. Miller, Mohammed A. Al-Barwani, Alexander J. Hunter, and Thomas E. Hunter (collectively, the “ Defendants ”). Pursuant to the complaint, the SEC alleged that Mr. Whittle orchestrated a “ pump and dump ” scheme with certain other of the Defendants in connection with our common stock. The scheme allegedly involved utilizing our July 2009 reverse merger transaction to secretly gain control of millions of our shares, spreading the stock to offshore entities, and dumping the shares on the unsuspecting public after the stock price soared following fraudulent promotional campaigns undertaken by Mr. Whittle and certain other of the Defendants in or around 2011. The complaint also alleges that to boost our stock price and provide cash to the Company, Mr. Whittle and certain other of the Defendants orchestrated a sham financing arrangement designed to create the false appearance of legitimate third-party interest and investment in the Company through a non-existent entity, Straight Path Capital, pursuant to which we raised approximately $2.5 million through the sale of 6.25 million shares of common stock in 2011. The SEC also alleges that Mr. Whittle and others caused us to make public announcements which caused our stock price to rise, which helped facilitate the alleged frauds among other allegations spelled out more completely in the complaint. The SEC’s complaint charges us, Mr. Whittle, Mr. Weaver, Mr. Sun, Mr. Berlinger, Mr. Wheatley, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Al-Barwani with conducting an illegal offering in violation of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act. The complaint further alleges that Mr. Whittle, Mr. Weaver, Mr. Sun, Mr. Berlinger, and the Hunters violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, and Mr. Whittle, Mr. Weaver, Mr. Sun, and Mr. Berlinger violated Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rules 13d-1 and 13d-2 thereunder. Mr. Whittle is additionally charged with violating Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 16a-3, and the Hunters are charged with violations of Sections 17(b) of the Securities Act, which prohibits fraudulent touting of stock. The SEC is seeking injunctions, disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and penalties as well as penny stock bars against all of the individual Defendants and an officer-and-director bar against Mr. Whittle.

On or around May 31, 2016, the Company entered into a ‘Consent of Defendant Jammin Java Corp.’ (the “ Consent ”), in connection with the SEC’s complaint (the “ Complaint ”). Pursuant to the Consent, without admitting or denying the allegations of the Complaint (except as specifically set forth in such Consent mainly relating to personal and subject matter jurisdiction, which we admitted), we consented to the entry of a final judgment (the “ Final Judgment ”), which, among other things: (a) permanently restrains and enjoins us from violating Section 5 of the Securities Act, and (b) orders us to pay disgorgement in the amount of $605,330, plus prejudgment interest thereon in the amount of $94,670, totaling an aggregate of $700,000, of which (1) $200,000 is due within 14 days of the entry of the Final Judgment (which Final Judgment was entered July 6, 2016, and which payment was due July 20, 2016, and has not been paid or requested by the SEC to date); and (2) $500,000 is due within 90 days of the entry of the Final Judgment (which amount was due by October 4, 2016, and which amount has not been paid or requested by the SEC to date).

 

The Final Judgment was approved by the SEC on or around May 31, 2016 and approved by the court on July 6, 2016, which is anticipated by the end of July 2016. The Company has accrued $700,000 for estimated settlement expense in the quarter ended July 31, 2016, which is offset by a $400,000 insurance settlement which was received in May 2016.

 

The Company believes that the Final Judgment is a positive outcome for the Company as it settles the SEC’s outstanding action against the Company and removes the uncertainty surrounding such action moving forward. The Company continues to take action in the best interests of the shareholders to create shareholder value which includes assisting the SEC in its continued investigation.

 

On August 1, 2016, 56 Hope Road and HRM filed a complaint against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Central Division (Case No. BC628981). The complaint (a) seeks a declaratory judgment relating to the termination of the licenses, (b) seeks damages for our alleged (i) breaches of the Long-Term License and Short-Term License, (ii) tortious interference with 56 Hope Road’s and HRM’s economic relationships with licenses and prospective licensees, and (iii) trademark infringement; (c) requests an accounting of our books and records; and (d) requests punitive and exemplary damages in connection with allegations of fraud and misrepresentation.

 

On August 4, 2016, we filed (a) a notice of removal with the court, requesting the case be removed from state court to the United States District Court for the Central District of California; (b) a request for a temporary restraining order requesting the court to reinstate the Short-Term License until a final decision on the pending lawsuit is determined; and (c) an answer to the complaint denying the allegations of 56 Hope Road and HRM, including certain affirmative defenses, and pleading counterclaims against (i) 56 Hope Road for breach of contract and breach of implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing, (ii) 56 Hope Road and HRM for intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage and intentional and negligent misrepresentation, and (iii) breach of fiduciary duty against Rohan Marley, our former Chairman, and seeking that the court enter judgment in favor of us on all claims alleged by 56 Hope Road and HRM and further seeking economic damages, punitive and exemplary damages, pre-and-post judgment interest and court costs from 56 Hope Road, HRM and Mr. Marley.

 

The case was then removed to the United States District Court of California Western Division (Case No. 2:16-cv-05810-SVW-MRW). 56 Hope Road and HRM subsequently amended their Complaint to seek damages for alleged breach of contract in connection with the Long-Term License and Short-Term License, declaratory relief in connection with the Long-Term License and Short-Term License (i.e., that such agreements have been effectively terminated by us), interference with prospective economic advantage, trademark infringement, accountings, fraud, and indemnity. We denied the allegations, asserted certain several affirmative defenses and filed counterclaims against Rohan Marley, our former director, for breach of fiduciary duty and civil conspiracy, which claims 56 Hope Road, HRM and Mr. Marley have moved to be dismissed. Trial is currently set for March 2017.

 

  F- 15  

 

 

We vehemently deny the allegations made by 56 Hope Road and HRM, and plan to vigorously defend ourselves against the claims made in the complaint. The Company has no basis of determining whether there is any likelihood of material loss associated with the claims and/or the potential and/or the outcome of the litigation.

 

Note 9. Concentrations

 

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from our relationships with a limited number of vendors and distributors. The loss of one or more of our significant vendors or distributors would have a material impact on our revenues and results of operations. During the three-month periods ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, three customers accounted for 49.3% and 47% of net revenues, respectively.

 

During the six month periods ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, two vendors accounted for 44% and 79% of purchases. The same two vendors accounted for 75% and 86% of the accounts payable as of July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

For the six month periods ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, total sales in Canada totaled $448,214 and $426,662 respectively.

 

For the six month periods ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, sales in South Korea totaled $7,951 and $461,048, respectively.

 

For the six month periods ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, sales in Chile totaled $353,635 and $608,638, respectively.

 

Note 10. Subsequent Events

 

Share Issuances  

 

In September 2016, the Company issued 7,304,349 shares of common stock to employees and officers in consideration for accrued and unpaid compensation.

 

November 2016 - Convertible Notes Payable –Vis Vires

 

On December 13, 2016, and effective November 15, 2016, we entered into a Convertible Promissory Note with Vis Vires in the principal amount of $14,000 (the “ December 2016 Vis Vires Note ”). The December 2016 Vis Vires Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum (22% upon an event of default) and is due and payable on August 15, 2017. The principal amount of the December 2016 Vis Vires Note and all accrued interest is convertible at the option of the holder at the greater of (a) 65% (a 35% discount) multiplied by the average of the lowest five closing bid prices of our common stock during the ten trading days immediately prior to the date of any conversion and (b) $0.00009, provided that the conversion price during major announcements (as described in the December 2016 Vis Vires Note) is the lower of the conversion price on the announcement date of such major announcement and the conversion price on the date of conversion. The December 2016 Vis Vires Note conversion price also includes anti-dilution protection such that in the event we issue or are deemed to have issued common stock or convertible securities at a price equal to less than the conversion price of the December 2016 Vis Vires Note in effect on the date of such issuance or deemed issuance, the conversion price of the December 2016 Vis Vires Note is automatically reduced to such lower price, subject to certain exceptions in the note.

 

At no time may the December 2016 Vis Vires Note be converted into shares of our common stock if such conversion would result in Vis Vires and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

We may prepay in full the unpaid principal and interest on the December 2016 Vis Vires Note, upon notice, any time prior to the 180 th day after the issuance date. Any prepayment is subject to payment of a prepayment amount ranging from 108% to 133% of the then outstanding balance on the December 2016 Vis Vires Note (inclusive of accrued and unpaid interest and any default amounts then owing), depending on when such prepayment is made.

 

The December 2016 Vis Vires Note also contains customary positive and negative covenants.

10% Convertible Promissory Note

 

On November 23, 2016 and effective November 14, 2016, we sold an accredited investor (the “ 10% Note Investor ”) a 10% Convertible Promissory Note with a face amount of $110,000, representing $24,000 borrowed from the 10% Note Investor and a 10% original issue discount ($2,400), and up to $83,600 of potential future borrowings which may be made to use by the 10% Note Investor in its sole discretion (the “ 10% Investor Note ”). The 10% Investor Note accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum (the lesser of 20% per annum and the highest rate allowed per law upon an event of default), and is due on November 14, 2017.

 

The 10% Investor Note can be repaid by us prior to the 180 th day after the issuance date thereof along with a prepayment penalty, depending on when repaid, of between 100% and 150% of the principal amount owed thereunder, plus interest (provided that any repayment of principal requires that we also repay the total amount of interest which would have accrued through maturity). After the 180 th day after the issuance date the note cannot be repaid without the written consent of 10% Note Investor.

 

The 10% Investor Note provides for standard and customary events of default such as failing to timely make payments under the 10% Investor Note when due and the failure of the Company to timely comply with Exchange Act reporting requirements, provided that this Quarterly Report and our next Quarterly Report are excluded from such requirement. In the event the repayment of the note is accelerated due to the occurrence of an event of default we are required to pay the 10% Note Investor 150% of the outstanding principal amount of the note.

 

The amount owed under the 10% Investor Note is convertible into shares of our common stock from time to time after the 180 th day after the issuance date of thereof at the option of the 10% Note Investor, at a 35% discount (increasing by 10% if we are placed on the “ chilled ” list with the DTC, increasing by 5% if we are not DWAC eligible, and increasing by another 10% upon the occurrence of any event of default under the note) to the average of the lowest trading price of our common stock during the 25 trading days prior to the date of conversion.

 

At no time may the 10% Investor Note be converted into shares of our common stock if such conversion would result in the 10% Note Investor and its affiliates owning an aggregate of in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

Additionally, if at any time while the Note is outstanding, we receive any written or oral proposal (the “ Proposal ”) containing one or more offers to provide additional capital or equity or debt financing, we are required to provide a copy of all documents received relating to the Proposal together with a complete and accurate description of the Proposal to the 10% Note Investor and, subject to the terms of the note, the 10% Note Investor is provided the right of first refusal to provide such financing on the terms set forth in the Proposal.

 

We hope to repay the 10% Investor Note prior to any conversion. In the event that the 10% Investor Note is not repaid in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders may suffer dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the 10% Investor Note is converted into common stock.

 

Additional JMJ Borrowing

 

On November 28, 2016, the Company borrowed an additional $8,500 from JMJ which was evidenced by the JMJ Convertible Note described above.

 

December 2016 JSJ Convertible Note

 

On December 5, 2016, we entered into a 12% Convertible Note with JSJ (the “ December 2016 JSJ Convertible Note ”) in the amount of $15,500. The December 2016 JSJ Convertible Note accrues interest at the rate of 12% per annum (18% upon the occurrence of an event of default) through maturity, September 5, 2017. We have the right to prepay the note prior to maturity provided we pay 150% of the amount due.

 

The December 2016 JSJ Convertible Note and all accrued interest is convertible at the option of the holder thereof into the Company’s common stock at any time after the 180 th day following the date of the note. The conversion price of the December 2016 JSJ Convertible Note is the greatest of a) 60% (a 40% discount) to the third lowest intra-day trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 10 trading days prior to any conversion date of the note, or b) $0.00005. In the event that the note is not repaid in cash in its entirety, Company shareholders may suffer dilution if and to the extent that the balance of the JSJ Note is converted into common stock.

Overview

 

We provide premium roasted coffee and specialty coffee on a wholesale level to the service, hospitality, office coffee service and big box store markets, as well as to a variety of other business channels. Specifically, we currently provide award winning sustainably grown, ethically-farmed and artisan roasted gourmet coffee through multiple United States and international distribution channels. We intend to develop a significant share of these markets and achieve a leadership position by capitalizing on the global recognition of the “ Marley ” brand name, subject to our ability to retain the license rights to the “ Marley ” name which we are currently in litigation regarding, as described below. We hope to capitalize on the guidance and leadership of our management team, and to increase our sales through the marketing of products. Additionally, through a licensing agreement with the family of the late reggae performer, Robert Nesta Marley, professionally known as Bob Marley (whose family members include Rohan Marley, our former Chairman and the son of Bob Marley)(as described below), which we are currently in litigation to attempt to stop from being terminated, we are provided the worldwide right to use the name “ Marley Coffee ” and reasonably similar variations thereof.

 

We believe the key to our growth is a multichannel distribution and sales strategy. Since August 2011, we have been introducing a wide variety of coffee products through multiple distribution channels using the Marley Coffee brand name. The main channels of revenue for the Company are now and are expected to continue to be domestic retail in both grocery and away from home (for example, consumption at the office and on the go), international distribution, and online retail.

 

In order to market our products in these channels, we have developed a variety of coffee products in varying formats. The Company offers an entire line of coffee in whole bean and ground form with varying sizes including 2.5 ounce (oz), 8oz, 12oz and 2 pound (lbs) sizes. The Company also offers a “ single serve ” solution with its compostable Single-Serve Pods for Bunn® and other pod-based home and office brewers. The Company recently launched its Marley Coffee recyclable RealCup; compatible cartridges, for use in most models of Keurig®’s K-Cup brewing system.

 

We have also started to develop a suite of products under the Jammin Java Coffee brand to complement our existing lines of coffee.

 

License Agreement with Fifty-Six Hope Road Music Limited

 

On September 13, 2012, the Company entered into a fifteen (15) year license agreement (renewable for two additional fifteen (15) year terms thereafter in the option of the Company) with an effective date of August 7, 2012 with Fifty-Six Hope Road Music Limited, a Bahamas international business company (“ 56 Hope Road ” and the “ Long-Term License ”). Rohan Marley, our former Chairman, owns an interest in and serves as a director of 56 Hope Road. Pursuant to the Long-Term License, 56 Hope Road granted the Company a worldwide, exclusive, non-transferable license to utilize the “ Marley Coffee ” trademarks (the “ Trademarks ”) in connection with (i) the manufacturing, advertising, promotion, sale, offering for sale and distribution of coffee in all its forms and derivations, regardless of portions, sizes or packaging (the “ Exclusive Licensed Products ”) and (ii) coffee roasting services, coffee production services, and coffee sales, supply, distribution and support services, provided that the Company may not open retail coffee houses utilizing the Trademarks. 56 Hope Road owns and controls the intellectual property rights in and to the late reggae performer, Robert Nesta Marley, professionally known as Bob Marley, including the Trademarks. In addition, 56 Hope Road granted the Company the right to use the Trademarks on advertising and promotional materials that pertain solely to the sale of coffee cups, coffee mugs, coffee glasses, saucers, milk steamers, machines for brewing coffee, espresso and/or cappuccino, grinders, water treatment products, tea products, chocolate products, and ready-to-use (instant) coffee products (the “ Non-Exclusive Licensed Products ”, and together with the Exclusive Licensed Products, the “ Licensed Products ”). Licensed Products may be sold by the Company pursuant to the Long-Term License through all channels of distribution, provided that, subject to certain exceptions, the Company cannot sell the Licensed Products by direct marketing methods (other than the Company’s website), including television, infomercials or direct mail without the prior written consent of 56 Hope Road. Additionally, 56 Hope Road has the right to approve all Licensed Products, all advertisements in connection therewith and all product designs and packaging. The agreement also provides that 56 Hope Road shall own all rights to any domain names (including marleycoffee.com), incorporating the Trademarks.

In consideration for the foregoing licenses, the Company agreed to pay royalties to 56 Hope Road in an amount equal to 3% of the net sales of all Licensed Products on a quarterly basis. In addition, such royalty payments are to be deferred during the first 20 months of the term of the Long-Term License, and such deferred payments shall be paid on a quarterly-basis thereafter until paid in full. For the six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, $128,587 and $58,609, respectively, was incurred for such royalty fees. The total accounts payable to 56 Hope Road, a related party, as of July 31, 2016 is $347,412.

 

Short Term License Agreement and Promissory Note

 

On June 27, 2016, and effective June 24, 2016, 56 Hope Road provided us notice of the termination of the Long-Term License. 56 Hope Road terminated the Long-Term License due to our alleged breach of certain of the terms of the Long-Term License agreement, including, but not limited to, our failure to deliver quarterly statements in a timely manner, our failure to timely make licensing payments, our failure to deliver audited financial statements in a timely manner, and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s complaint against us. Some of these breaches were due to cash flow issues and corporate governance matters.

 

The immediate effect of the termination of the Long-Term License was minimal, as effective immediately thereafter we entered into the Short-Term License described below.

 

On July 6, 2016, (1) we and Hope Road Merchandising, LLC (“ HRM ”), which exclusively controls all licensing of 56 Hope Road’s intellectual property rights, entered into a Short Term License Agreement (the “ Short-Term License ”); (2) we entered into a Secured Promissory Note in favor of 56 Hope Road (the “ Secured Note ”); and (3) we and 56 Hope Road entered into a Security Agreement to secure amounts owed under the Secured Note, each as described in greater detail below.

 

The Short-Term License provides us the right to use the Trademarks from June 27, 2016 until December 27, 2016 (a term of six months)(subject to HRM’s right to terminate the license in the event we breach the terms thereof or any of the terms of the Secured Note or Security Agreement), provided that the Short-Term License can be extended in the sole discretion of HRM (at our request) for an additional six month term after expiration thereof. Other than the term of the agreement, the Short-Term License has substantially similar terms as the Long-Term License (except as discussed above), with the addition of requiring us to provide customer and vendor lists to HRM and providing HRM an irrevocable license to use such information. Additional requirements associated with our entry into the Short-Term License with HRM was that (i) we immediately provide all deficient quarterly and annual statements due; and (ii) we allow 56 Hope Road or its affiliates to have discussions with our current and potential business partners relating to whether there is a basis for a continued relationship with us, and to have discussions with unrelated third parties that 56 Hope Road may have an interest in once the Short-Term License expires.

 

The Secured Note evidences $297,324 due to 56 Hope Road pursuant to the terms of the Long-Term License, which amount accrues interest until paid at 0.71% per annum (7.5% per annum if not paid in full at maturity) and was due and payable on August 31, 2016, but has not been repaid to date and is currently in default. Amounts due under the Secured Note are secured by the Security Agreement. The Secured Note contains customary representations and events of default.

 

The Security Agreement provides 56 Hope Road a security interest in substantially all of our assets to secure our payment of the Secured Note.

56 Hope Road/HRM Purported License Termination and Lawsuit

 

On July 21, 2016, HRM and 56 Hope Road provided us notice of the termination of the Short-Term License, and demanded that all use of the Trademarks cease immediately.

 

56 Hope Road terminated the Short-Term License, due to our alleged breach of certain of the terms of the Short-Term License, including, but not limited to, our failure to deliver quarterly statements and annual audited financial statements in a timely manner, and issues raised regarding security interests alleged to have been granted by us in connection with the licenses, to various third parties in alleged violation of the licenses, which we were alleged to have not timely cured.

 

We believe that the termination notice received on July 21, 2016 as well as the termination of the Long-Term License, was without merit and that 56 Hope Road has no reasonable basis for such terminations.

 

After we received the July 21, 2016, notice of termination, both sides worked to resolve the termination and to negotiate a forbearance of the alleged defaults. One of the conditions of the forbearance set by HRM was for the Company to engage a restructuring consultant to provide a picture of the Company and a potential turnaround plan. After discussion between the parties, both we and HRM agreed that we would engage r 2  advisors llc (“ R2 ”), a company with whom neither we nor HRM had any prior relationship. R2 provided the preliminary assessment of the Company; however, after the preliminary assessment was prepared, HRM’s representatives determined that the assessment was biased towards the Company and unfairly promoted the Company’s point of view. We vigorously disagree with this assessment.

 

Notwithstanding our attempt to work in good faith through the issues raised with HRM in the termination notice, and without prior notice, on August 1, 2016, 56 Hope Road and HRM filed a complaint against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Central Division (Case No. BC628981). The complaint (a) seeks a declaratory judgment relating to the termination of the licenses, (b) seeks damages for our alleged (i) breaches of the Long-Term License and Short-Term License, (ii) tortious interference with 56 Hope Road’s and HRM’s economic relationships with licenses and prospective licensees, and (iii) trademark infringement; (c) requests an accounting of our books and records; and (d) requests punitive and exemplary damages in connection with allegations of fraud and misrepresentation.

 

On August 4, 2016, we filed (a) a notice of removal with the court, requesting the case be removed from state court to the United States District Court for the Central District of California; (b) a request for a temporary restraining order requesting the court to reinstate the Short-Term License until a final decision on the pending lawsuit is determined; and (c) an answer to the complaint denying the allegations of 56 Hope Road and HRM, including certain affirmative defenses, and pleading counterclaims against (i) 56 Hope Road for breach of contract and breach of implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing, (ii) 56 Hope Road and HRM for intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage and intentional and negligent misrepresentation, and (iii) breach of fiduciary duty against Rohan Marley, our former Chairman, and seeking that the court enter judgment in favor of us on all claims alleged by 56 Hope Road and HRM and further seeking economic damages, punitive and exemplary damages, pre-and-post judgment interest and court costs from 56 Hope Road, HRM and Mr. Marley.

 

The case was then removed to the United States District Court of California Western Division (Case No. 2:16-cv-05810-SVW-MRW). 56 Hope Road and HRM subsequently amended their Complaint to seek damages for alleged breach of contract in connection with the Long-Term License and Short-Term License, declaratory relief in connection with the Long-Term License and Short-Term License (i.e., that such agreements have been effectively terminated by us), interference with prospective economic advantage, trademark infringement, accountings, fraud, and indemnity. We denied the allegations, asserted certain several affirmative defenses and filed counterclaims against Rohan Marley, our former director, for breach of fiduciary duty and civil conspiracy, which claims 56 Hope Road, HRM and Mr. Marley have moved to be dismissed. Trial is currently set for March 2017.

 

We vehemently deny the allegations made by 56 Hope Road and HRM, and plan to vigorously defend ourselves against the claims made in the complaint. The Company has no basis of determining whether there is any likelihood of material loss associated with the claims and/or the potential and/or the outcome of the litigation.

Current Status of Business Operations

 

As described above, we are currently in litigation with 56 Hope Road and HRM. Additionally, since the date of our last filing, we have attempted to streamline our business and cut costs while maintaining as many accounts as possible. Additionally, we’ve been working on expanding our operations outside of the “ Marley Coffee ” name. Meanwhile, we have tried to work with 56 Hope Road and HRM to come to a viable business solution for the current litigation, but to date, they are not willing to compromise.

 

Since the litigation began, we have worked to both maintain and restructure our business. We have cut costs across the board, closed our main office and reduced our employee head count. Our focus is on the maintenance of accounts to ensure we have sufficient cash flow to keep the business afloat while seeking alternative growth options.

 

We are not looking at bankruptcy restructuring as an option at the moment, as we are trying to sustain the business, grow a new division, and continue with our litigation. We have worked with our two largest debt holders in an effort to restructure our debt. Specifically, Mother Parkers has agreed that all profits and licensing fees from coffee which we sell through Mother Parkers will go to pay down debt which we owe to Mother Parkers. Our other significant creditor [ERI] is providing us credit to ship products to our customers for all bagged coffee; however, we are allocating 30% of the profits of such orders back to ERI to pay down our debt owed to them. We also have several other smaller debt holders that we have structured a payment plan with, and some we have not. We cannot guarantee that a debt holder will not try to put us into involuntary bankruptcy, but we currently have no intention at this time of filing for any type of bankruptcy protection.

 

The litigation is ongoing with a March 2017 trial date now set. At this time, the litigation has not resulted in the Company being ordered to stop using the Trademarks. We are seeking damages and a full legal recognition of the validity of our license with 56 Hope Road as part of our counterclaims in the litigation.

 

Credit is still tight, although we have been able to structure a credit deal with National Coffee Roasters for our ground and whole bean products. We are also currently seeking additional funds to help with single serve capsule fulfillment.

 

Separately, we are developing a line of non-’Marley Coffee’ related products under the Jammin Java name, which we plan to distribute through our existing channels with a planned launch date of no later than February 2017. This line of products will feature premium coffee in a number of formats, including ground, whole bean, and Keurig®, Nespresso®, and Dolce Gusto® compatible single serve capsules.

 

We have already discussed our new brand with current and potential customers and have received positive feedback and commitments to order once we launch. These products will not require us to pay licensing fees. We anticipate beginning to generate revenues from these sales starting mid-February 2017.

 

We are also looking at a potential acquisition opportunities in the roasting and distribution space. We have built a robust distribution network with strong connections to our customers and their buyers over the past several years and we believe that we can succeed in growing another brand as we have done previously with ‘Marley Coffee’.

 

We need to raise additional cash in order to pay our expenses and repay our outstanding promissory notes and other liabilities. If we are unable to access additional capital moving forward, it will hurt our ability to maintain growth and possibly jeopardize our ability to maintain our current operations. We may not be able to increase sales, reduce expenses or obtain additional financing, if necessary, at a level to meet our current obligations to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is focused on growing revenue while working to lower cost of sales and operating expenses, with the ultimate goal of generating net income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through the issuance of our common stock.

 

The following table presents details of our working capital and cash and cash equivalents:

 

    July 31, 2016     January 31, 2016     Increase / (Decrease)  
Working Capital   $ (6,817,536 )   $ (4,232,446 )   $ (2,585,090 )
Cash and Cash Equivalents   $ 137,561     $ 231,021     $ (93,460 )

At July 31, 2016, we had total assets of $1,580,272 and total liabilities of $8,115,078. Our current sources of liquidity include our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations and borrowings under convertible promissory notes and other loans. For the six months ended July 31, 2016, we generated net sales of $4,425,782 and we had a net loss of $4,381,788.

 

Total current assets of $957,739 as of July 31, 2016 included cash of $137,561, accounts receivable of $714,069 (which included $430,325 due from Mother Parkers), other current assets of $3,000 and $103,109 of prepaid expenses.

 

We had total assets as of July 31, 2016 of $1,580,272 which included the total current assets of $957,739, $123,523 of property and equipment, net, $477,694 of intangible assets and $21,316 of other assets.

 

We had total liabilities of $8,115,078 as of July 31, 2016, which were primarily current liabilities and included $3,939,549 of accounts payable (which included $2,169,533 of accounts payable to Mother Parkers, $347,412 royalty – related party relating to amounts accrued in connection with the 56 Hope Road License Agreements (described above)), $1,196,654 of accrued expenses and $1,475,376 of notes payable, net of discount, in connection with short term financing agreements and a capital lease we entered into, as described in greater detail in Notes 5 and 8 to the financial statements included herein, and $1,503,500 conversion feature – derivative liability.

 

We source coffee that we sell to our roaster, Mother Parkers, a related party and shareholder of the Company, who in turn sells it to its own customers. This is especially the case with Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee secured by us. At July 31, 2016, we are owed $430,325 by Mother Parkers. We also utilize the services of Mother Parkers, to roast coffee to our specifications for sale to the Company’s customers. As a result, at July 31, 2016, we owe $2,174,916 to Mother Parkers for roasting services.

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $4,381,788 and $2,165,731 for the six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively and had an accumulated deficit of $33,627,538 at July 31, 2016.   In addition, the Company has a history of losses and has not generated net income from operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the sale of common stock and debt financing. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon its ability to sell its products directly to end-users and through distributors, establish profitable operations through increased sales and decreased expenses, and obtain additional funds when needed. We may not be able to increase sales or reduce expenses to a level necessary to meet our current obligations or continue as a going concern. As a result, the opinion the Company received from its independent registered public accounting firm on its January 31, 2016 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we become unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets, and may realize significantly less than the values at which they are carried on our financial statements, and stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in our common stock. The accompanying financial statements do not contain any adjustments for this uncertainty.

We could be required, or may elect, to seek additional funding through public or private equity, debt financing or bank financing.

 

Funding and Financing Agreements

 

Mother Parker’s Investment

The Warrants have an exercise price equal to 150% of the Per Unit Price ($0.51135 per share), a term of three years and prohibit Mother Parkers from exercising such Warrants to the extent such exercise would result in the beneficial ownership of more than 9.99% of the Company’s common stock, subject to Mother Parkers’ right to waive such limitation with 61 days prior written notice.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As part of our on-going business, we have not participated in transactions that generate material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities (“ SPEs ”), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of July 31, 2016, we are not involved in any unconsolidated SPEs.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.

 

Stock-Based Compensation.  On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718 which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee service. We utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock based compensation at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.

 

We estimated volatility by considering historical stock volatility. We have opted to use the simplified method for estimating the expected term of stock options equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term.

 

Revenue Recognition.  All revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service or sale is complete, the price is fixed or determinable and ability to collect is reasonably assured. Revenue is derived from the sale of coffee products and is recognized on a gross basis upon shipment. The Company utilizes a third party for the production and fulfillment of orders placed by customers. Customers order directly from the Company and accordingly, the Company acts as a principal, takes title to the products, and has the risks and rewards of ownership, such as the risk of loss for collection, delivery and returns.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets . Long-lived assets include a license agreement that was recorded at the estimated cost to acquire the asset (See Note 4 to the financial statements included in this report). The license agreement is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. In the event that such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of the assets, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values. Management evaluated the carrying value of the license and determined that no impairment existed at July 31, 2016 or 2015.

 

Accounts Receivable allowance A provision for doubtful accounts is provided based on a combination of historical experience, specific identification and customer credit risk where there are indications that a specific customer may be experiencing financial difficulties.

 

11

 

 

Inventory Reserves.  We estimate any required write-downs for inventory obsolescence by examining our inventories on a quarterly basis to determine if there are indicators that the carrying values could exceed net realizable value. Indicators that could result in additional inventory write-downs include age of inventory, damaged inventory, slow moving products and products at the end of their life cycles. While significant judgment is involved in determining the net realizable value of inventory, we believe that inventory is appropriately stated at the lower of cost or market.

 

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance.  We follow the provisions of ASC 740 relating to uncertain tax provisions and have commenced analyzing filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. As a result of adoption, no additional tax liabilities have been recorded. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in certain state jurisdictions. The Company has not been subjected to tax examinations for any year and the statute of limitations has not expired. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and related accruals, deferred tax assets and liabilities. These include establishing a valuation allowance related to the ability to realize certain deferred tax assets. To the extent future taxable income against which these assets may be applied is not sufficient, some portion or all of our recorded deferred tax assets would not be realizable.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

For the six months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no accounting standards or interpretations issued that are expected to have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

Accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are being evaluated by the Company to determine whether adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Such pronouncements include the following:

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Update, or ASU 2016-02  Leases (Topic 842)  - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which will require lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 18, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the potential impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

ASB ASU 2014-09  Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),  or ASU 2014-09 - In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 605 “ Revenue Recognition. ” This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with the option to adopt as early as December 15, 2017. We are currently assessing the impact of adoption of this ASU on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12,  Compensation – Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period  (“ ASU 2014-12 ”). The guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The guidance will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on its financial statements.

 

Management is evaluating the significance of the recent accounting pronouncement ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (subtopic 205-40); disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, and has not yet concluded whether the pronouncement will have a significant effect on the Company’s future financial statements. Such standard is effective for the Company for the fiscal year beginning February 1, 2017.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “ smaller reporting company, ” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting and Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

Based on our evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses at January 31, 2016:

 

  (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company’s Board of Directors capable to oversee the audit function; and
     
  (2) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

 

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (1) and (2) above did not have an effect on the Company’s financial reporting during the three months ended July 31, 2016.

 

Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Disclosure controls generally include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

13

 

 

Effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures are necessary for us to provide reliable financial and other reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot maintain effective internal controls or provide reliable financial or SEC reports or prevent fraud, investors may lose confidence in our SEC reports, our operating results and the trading price of our common stock could suffer and we might become subject to litigation.

 

Because we are a small company, the requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, may strain our resources, increase our costs and distract management, and we may be unable to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner.

 

As a public reporting company, we must comply with the federal securities laws, rules and regulations, including certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, related rules and regulations of the SEC, with which a private company is not required to comply. Complying with these laws, rules and regulations will occupy a significant amount of time of our sole director and management and will significantly increase our costs and expenses, which we cannot estimate accurately at this time. Among other things, we must:

 

  establish and maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
  prepare and distribute periodic public reports in compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws;
  maintain various internal compliance and disclosures policies, such as those relating to disclosure controls and procedures and insider trading in our common stock; and
  involve and retain to a greater degree outside counsel and accountants in the above activities.

 

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, moving forward, at such time as we are able to raise additional funding, we plan to hire additional outside accounting personnel and take action to consolidate check writing and financial controls. Additionally, as soon as funds are available, we plan to make a determination as to whether it is in the Company’s best interest to (1) appoint one or more outside directors to our Board of Directors to be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources; (3) hire independent third parties to provide expert advice; and (4) prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

 

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended July 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business.

 

On September 30, 2014, Shane Whittle, individually, a former significant shareholder and officer and director of the Company (“ Whittle ”), and derivatively on behalf of Marley Coffee LLC (“ MC LLC ”) filed a complaint against Rohan Marley, Cedella Marley, the Company, HRM, 56 Hope Road, and Marley Coffee Estate Limited (“ Marley Coffee Estate ”) in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (Civil Action No. 2014-CV-2680).

 

The complaint alleged that Whittle entered into a partnership with Rohan Marley, the son of the late reggae music legend Robert Nesta Marley p/k/a Bob Marley, to sell premium coffee products branded after the name and likeness of Rohan Marley. The causes of action set forth in the complaint included, among others, racketeering activity, trademark infringement, breach of fiduciary duty, civil theft, and civil conspiracy (some of which causes of action were not directly alleged against the Company), which were alleged to have directly caused Whittle and MCL substantial financial harm. Damages claimed by Whittle and MCL included economic damages to be proven at trial, profits made by defendants, treble damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and pre and post judgment interest.

 

Effective on May 19, 2016, Whittle, MCL, Rohan Marley, Cedella Marley, the Company, HRM and 56 Hope Road entered into a Settlement Agreement in connection with the proceeding described above (at the same time Whittle entered into a separate settlement agreement with Marley Coffee Estate). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, (a) Whittle agreed to resign as a manager of MCL, assign his approximate 29% membership interest in MCL to MCL for $1.00 of total consideration, and also consented to the redemption of certain other outstanding membership interests in such entity; (b) Whittle agreed to cancel and terminate the options to purchase 2 million shares of the Company’s common stock which he held as of the date of the parties’ entry into the Settlement Agreement for $1.00 of total consideration; (c) Whittle agreed to release and waive any rights to any past due or future due payments owed by the Company under the Settlement described above, including releasing the remaining amount of $10,000 which Whittle was due pursuant to such Settlement; (d) Whittle provided a general release to each of the defendants (including the Company and Rohan Marley) from all claims, liability and obligations which Whittle had against such defendants; and (e) each of the defendants (including the Company and Rohan Marley) provided Whittle a general release from all claims, liability and obligations which such defendants had against Whittle.

 

In connection with the entry into the Settlement Agreement and the settlement of the lawsuit, the lawsuit described above was dismissed.

 

On November 17, 2015, the SEC filed a complaint against us (Case 2:15-cv-08921) in the United States District Court Central District of California Western Division. Also included as defendants in the complaint were Shane G. Whittle (our former Chief Executive Officer and Director) and parties unrelated to us, Wayne S. P. Weaver, Michael K. Sun, Rene Berlinger, Stephen B. Wheatley, Kevin P. Miller, Mohammed A. Al-Barwani, Alexander J. Hunter, and Thomas E. Hunter (collectively, the “ Defendants ”). Pursuant to the complaint, the SEC alleged that Mr. Whittle orchestrated a “ pump and dump ” scheme with certain other of the Defendants in connection with our common stock. The scheme allegedly involved utilizing our July 2009 reverse merger transaction to secretly gain control of millions of our shares, spreading the stock to offshore entities, and dumping the shares on the unsuspecting public after the stock price soared following fraudulent promotional campaigns undertaken by Mr. Whittle and certain other of the Defendants in or around 2011. The complaint also alleges that to boost our stock price and provide cash to the Company, Mr. Whittle and certain other of the Defendants orchestrated a sham financing arrangement designed to create the false appearance of legitimate third-party interest and investment in the Company through a non-existent entity, Straight Path Capital, pursuant to which we raised approximately $2.5 million through the sale of 6.25 million shares of common stock in 2011. The SEC also alleges that Mr. Whittle and others caused us to make public announcements which caused our stock price to rise, which helped facilitate the alleged frauds among other allegations spelled out more completely in the complaint. The SEC’s complaint charges us, Mr. Whittle, Mr. Weaver, Mr. Sun, Mr. Berlinger, Mr. Wheatley, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Al-Barwani with conducting an illegal offering in violation of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act. The complaint further alleges that Mr. Whittle, Mr. Weaver, Mr. Sun, Mr. Berlinger, and the Hunters violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, and Mr. Whittle, Mr. Weaver, Mr. Sun, and Mr. Berlinger violated Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rules 13d-1 and 13d-2 thereunder. Mr. Whittle is additionally charged with violating Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 16a-3, and the Hunters are charged with violations of Sections 17(b) of the Securities Act, which prohibits fraudulent touting of stock. The SEC is seeking injunctions, disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and penalties as well as penny stock bars against all of the individual Defendants and an officer-and-director bar against Mr. Whittle.

On or around May 31, 2016, the Company entered into a ‘Consent of Defendant Jammin Java Corp.’ (the “ Consent ”), in connection with the SEC’s complaint (the “ Complaint ”). Pursuant to the Consent, without admitting or denying the allegations of the Complaint (except as specifically set forth in such Consent mainly relating to personal and subject matter jurisdiction, which we admitted), we consented to the entry of a final judgment (the “ Final Judgment ”), which, among other things: (a) permanently restrains and enjoins us from violating Section 5 of the Securities Act, and (b) orders us to pay disgorgement in the amount of $605,330, plus prejudgment interest thereon in the amount of $94,670, totaling an aggregate of $700,000, of which (1) $200,000 is due within 14 days of the entry of the Final Judgment (which Final Judgment was entered July 6, 2016, and which payment was due July 20, 2016, and has not been paid or requested by the SEC to date); and (2) $500,000 is due within 90 days of the entry of the Final Judgment (which amount was due by October 4, 2016, and which amount has not been paid or requested by the SEC to date).

 

The Final Judgment was approved by the SEC on or around May 31, 2016 and approved by the court on July 6, 2016, which is anticipated by the end of June 2016. The Company has accrued $700,000 for estimated settlement expense in the quarter ended July 31, 2016, which is offset by a $400,000 insurance settlement which was received in May 2016.  

 

The Company believes that the Final Judgment is a positive outcome for the Company as it settles the SEC’s outstanding action against the Company and removes the uncertainty surrounding such action moving forward. The Company continues to take action in the best interests of the shareholders to create shareholder value which includes assisting the SEC in its continued investigation.

 

On August 1, 2016, 56 Hope Road and HRM filed a complaint against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, Central Division (Case No. BC628981). The complaint (a) seeks a declaratory judgment relating to the termination of the licenses, (b) seeks damages for our alleged (i) breaches of the Long-Term License and Short-Term License, (ii) tortious interference with 56 Hope Road’s and HRM’s economic relationships with licenses and prospective licensees, and (iii) trademark infringement; (c) requests an accounting of our books and records; and (d) requests punitive and exemplary damages in connection with allegations of fraud and misrepresentation.

 

On August 4, 2016, we filed (a) a notice of removal with the court, requesting the case be removed from state court to the United States District Court for the Central District of California; (b) a request for a temporary restraining order requesting the court to reinstate the Short-Term License until a final decision on the pending lawsuit is determined; and (c) an answer to the complaint denying the allegations of 56 Hope Road and HRM, including certain affirmative defenses, and pleading counterclaims against (i) 56 Hope Road for breach of contract and breach of implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing, (ii) 56 Hope Road and HRM for intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage and intentional and negligent misrepresentation, and (iii) breach of fiduciary duty against Rohan Marley, our former Chairman, and seeking that the court enter judgment in favor of us on all claims alleged by 56 Hope Road and HRM and further seeking economic damages, punitive and exemplary damages, pre-and-post judgment interest and court costs from 56 Hope Road, HRM and Mr. Marley.

 

The case was then removed to the United States District Court of California Western Division (Case No. 2:16-cv-05810-SVW-MRW). 56 Hope Road and HRM subsequently amended their Complaint to seek damages for alleged breach of contract in connection with the Long-Term License and Short-Term License, declaratory relief in connection with the Long-Term License and Short-Term License (i.e., that such agreements have been effectively terminated by us), interference with prospective economic advantage, trademark infringement, accountings, fraud, and indemnity. We denied the allegations, asserted certain several affirmative defenses and filed counterclaims against Rohan Marley, our former director, for breach of fiduciary duty and civil conspiracy, which claims 56 Hope Road, HRM and Mr. Marley have moved to be dismissed. Trial is currently set for March 2017.

 

16

 

 

We vehemently deny the allegations made by 56 Hope Road and HRM, and plan to vigorously defend ourselves against the claims made in the complaint. The Company has no basis of determining whether there is any likelihood of material loss associated with the claims and/or the potential and/or the outcome of the litigation.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2016, filed with the Commission on May 6, 2016, except as discussed below, and investors are encouraged to review such risk factors prior to making an investment in the Company.

 

56 Hope Road has attempted to terminate the Long-Term License and Short-Term License and terminate our ability to use the Trademarks and we are currently in litigation with 56 Hope Road regarding our use of such Trademarks.

 

As described above, 56 Hope Road has attempted to terminate the Long-Term License and Short-Term License and terminate our ability to use the Trademarks and we are currently in litigation with 56 Hope Road and its affiliate HRM regarding such agreements and rights. In the even the Long-Term License, Short-Term License and our rights to use the Trademarks are terminated, it would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and assets, could force us to scale back and/or abandon our business operations, or force us to seek bankruptcy protection and could cause the value of our common stock to decline in value or become worthless. Additionally, we could be forced to pay significant damages and fees to 56 Hope Road and HRM in the event of an unfavorable outcome of the lawsuit, which could force us to seek bankruptcy protection.

 

The Company owes a significant amount of money to Mother Parkers.

 

As of July 31, 2016, the Company owed a significant amount of accounts payable and the Company owed approximately $2.2 million to Mother Parkers in consideration for distribution services rendered. Mother Parkers has previously advised us that if we are not able to pay them amounts due past the 120 day net terms they have provided us, they will not provide additional credit and will stop distributing our products. We currently owe Mother Parkers invoices from October 2015 and are not below the 120 days. As described above, Mother Parkers is one of our largest distributors, representing over half of our revenues for the year ended January 31, 2016 and the three months ended July 31, 2016, and in the event they stop distributing our products our results of operations will be materially adversely effected and we may be forced to curtail or abandon our business operations. We recently raised funding through the sale of convertible notes, as described above, to pay down a portion of the amounts we owed to Mother Parkers, provided that in the future we may be required to raise additional debt or equity funding (including in order to repay such convertible notes), which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.

 

The Final Judgment could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise funding and create additional liability for us.

 

Pursuant to the Final Judgment, described above under “ Legal Proceedings ”, we agreed to a permanent enjoinment from violating the Securities Act in future, which once accepted by the court, will cause us to be deemed to be a ‘bad actor’ under Rule 506 of the Securities Act and disqualified by the requirements of Rule 262 of Regulation A, which will prevent us from relying on an exemption from registration for the sale and issuance of securities under Regulation D and A, respectively. This could make it harder for us to sell shares privately and negatively affect our ability to raise capital. Additionally, for the three years following the court’s acceptance of the Final Judgment, we will be unable to avail ourselves of the statutory safe harbor for forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. As a result, we may face additional liability for our forward-looking statements. Both of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and cash flows, and could cause the value of our securities to decline in value.

 

17

 

 

Additionally, we were required to pay $500,000 to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the terms of the Final Judgment on October 4, 2016, which amount has not been paid and which funds we do not currently have. In the event the Securities and Exchange Commission takes action against us to enforce the payment of the $500,000 owed, it may force us to seek bankruptcy protection.

 

We may cease filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

We may not have sufficient available funding moving forward to continue to prepare and file our periodic and current reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and may be forced to cease such filings, either temporarily or permanently. In the event that we cease filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, our common stock would likely be quoted on the pinksheets and would likely have less liquidity on such market and may trade at a lower share price than on the OTCQB market. Additionally, if we cease our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, investors may have less information regarding our operations, financial condition and future plans, and as such the value of our securities may be adversely effected. If we fail to officially terminate our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission may, in the future, terminate the registration of our common stock, and prevent trading/quotation of our common stock on any market.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

In August 2016, JMJ converted $190,628 of principal and interest owed on the JMJ Convertible Note into 24,670,000 shares of common stock.

 

In September 2016, JMJ converted $68,962 of principal and interest owed on the JMJ Convertible Note into 24,395,000 shares of common stock.

 

In September 2016, JSJ converted $38,320 of principal and interest owed on the JSJ Convertible Note into 24,733,056 shares of common stock.

 

In September 2016, Duck Duck converted $46,820 of principal and interest owed on the March 8, 2016 Convertible Promissory Note due to Duck Duck into 26,296,581 shares of common stock.

 

We claim an exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, as the securities above were exchanged by us with our existing security holders in a transaction where no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.

 

As described above under “ Part I - Financial Information ” – “ Item 1. Financial Statements. ” – “ Note 10. Subsequent Events ”, on November 23, 2016, we sold Vis Vires the December, 2016 Vis Vires Note, on November 23, 2016, we sold the 10% Note Investor the 10% Investor Note, on November 28, 2016, we borrowed an additional $8,500 from JMJ under the JMJ Convertible Note and on December 5, 2016, we sold JSJ the December 2016 JSJ Convertible Note. The notes are convertible into our common stock at a discount to the trading price of our common stock as described in greater detail above. We claim an exemption from registration for the offers, issuances and sales of such convertible notes pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act, since the foregoing issuances did not involve a public offering, the recipients were (i) “ accredited investors ”; and/or (ii) had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act, and the recipients acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The securities were offered without any general solicitation by us or our representatives. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuances and we paid no underwriting discounts or commissions. The securities sold are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
