Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they may not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2016, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, for the year ended August 31, 2016. The interim results for the period ended February 28, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

Note 2 – Going Concern and Management Plans

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, for the six months ended February 28, 2017 the Company had a net loss including non-controlling interest of approximately $1.7 million, net cash used in operations of approximately $1.5 million, working capital deficit of approximately $9.4 million and a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $10.6 million. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on management's plans, which may include the raising of capital through equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. If management is unable to raise additional capital to support business operations within the immediately foreseeable future, the Company may be forced to pursue a strategy of reorganization or liquidation.

The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues will be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the immediately foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Therefore, if further financing is unavailable to the Company in the foreseeable future for any reason whatsoever, the Company may be forced to pursue a strategy of reorganization or liquidation.

In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:


·	seeking additional equity financing for operations, marketing and potential acquisitions
·	seeking to increase sales and distribution of Tetra Pak products;
·	allocating sufficient resources to continue advertising and marketing efforts

Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company minimizes credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution(s). The balances did not exceed the federally insured limit. The Company has no cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible.

Inventory

Inventory consists of finished goods - soups and is stated at the lower of cost or market using the FIFO method of accounting. The Company does not have any work in progress or raw materials.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:


·	Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·	Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
·	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.


	February 28, 2017		August 31, 2016
Derivative liabilities (balance)	$	2,103,071	$	3,311,580

The Level 3 valuation relates to derivative liabilities measured using management's estimates of fair value as well as other significant inputs, such as volatility and risk free interest rate, which may be unobservable. See Note 3.

The Company has determined the estimated fair value amounts presented in these financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Fair value estimates are based upon pertinent information available. The Company has determined that the carrying value of all financial instruments approximates fair value. The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable including accrued liabilities and debt. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments generally approximated their fair values at February 28, 2017 and August 31, 2016, respectively due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Reclassification

Certain accounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current year's financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported earnings.

Recent Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance throughout the ASC. The standard requires that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. To allow entities additional time to implement systems, gather data and resolve implementation questions, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, in August 2015, to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 for one year, which is fiscal years beginning after December I5, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its financial statements or disclosures. In addition, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 in March 2016, to help provide interpretive clarifications on the new guidance in ASC Topic 606. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting transition, and disclosure requirements of the standard to determine the impact, if any, on its financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 explicitly requires management to evaluate, at each annual or interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that exist which raise substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-15 impacted disclosure in the Company's financial statements, but did not have any impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-02 and its impact on its financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers -Principal versus Agent Considerations”. This update provides clarifying guidance regarding the application of ASU No. 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers when another party, along with the reporting entity, is involved in providing a good or a service to a customer. In these circumstances, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide that good or service to the customer (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for the good or service to be provided to the customer by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). The amendments in the Update clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The update is effective, along with ASU 2014-09, for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The company is evaluating its impact on its financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation -Stock Compensation (Topic 71 S)” (“Asti 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 requires an entity to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-09 and its impact on its financial statements or disclosures.

On May 9, 2016, The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2016-12”). ASU 2016-12 provides clarifying guidance in a few narrow areas and adds some practical expedients to the guidance. The effective date and transition requirements for this ASU are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2014-09. The Company is evaluating the effect of ASU 2014-12, if any, on its financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which addresses the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipt and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows with respect to eight specific cash Flow issues. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented if practical. Early adoption is permitted, including the interim period, and any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal period. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2016-15 and its impact on its financial statements or disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-1 8, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force),” which clarifies how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows, and as a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. An entity with a material balance of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must disclose information about the nature of the restrictions. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December I5, 2017. Early adoption is permitted and the new guidance must be applied retroactively to all periods presented. The company is evaluating the new guidance's impact on its financial statements.

Note 5 - Derivative Liabilities

(A)

Valuation

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments, such as ratchet provisions or conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

Once derivative liabilities are determined, they are adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any increase or decrease in the fair value is recorded in results of operations as a change in fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The company determined that the Black Scholes valuation model was comparable to the Binomial Lattice model.

(B)

Conversion Features

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt and/or warrants issued during the six months ended February 28, 2017 and the year ended August 31, 2016, respectively. They were classified as derivative instruments pursuant to FASB ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging." The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company bifurcate the conversion feature and record it as a liability at fair value and the fair value of the warrants were computed as defined in the agreement. The instruments are marked-to-market at fair value as of each balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for each reporting period. The fair value of the conversion feature was determined using the Binomial Lattice model. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

(Unaudited)

During the year ended August 31, 2016 the company entered into a convertible note payable that was convertible into a variable number of shares (reset ratchet provision) of common stock that exceeds the number of shares the company has authorized. Accordingly, the embedded conversion feature was bifurcated and included as a liability as of February 28, 2017. In addition, the company has reclassified all of its warrants and notes payables with embedded conversion features as derivative liabilities as the company cannot determine it has sufficient authorized shares to settle these contracts.

As February 28, 2017, the fair value of the derivative liability was $2,103,071. The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for convertible debt and warrants that are treated as derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions for the six months ended February 28, 2017:


	February 28, 2017		August 31, 2016
Carry forward balance	$	3,311,580	$	239,748

OVERVIEW

Description of the Company

Unless otherwise stated, the terms "we," "us", "our" and the "company" refer to Soupman, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We manufacture and sell soups under the brand name “Original Soupman”. Our soups can be purchased in national supermarket chains such as Kroger, Publix and Safeway in shelf stable Tetra Recart packaging allowing for maximum shelf life and freshness in every carton. The annual market size for soup sales to grocery and chain stores in the US is approximately $6.4 billion.

We also sell our Original Soupman soups in flash-frozen “heat ‘n serve” pouches, to our franchisees such as our flagship store at 55 ^th street and 8 ^th avenue, the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut, Mohegan Sun Resorts in Atlantic City New Jersey, the Original Soupman and Delicatessen at Roosevelt Field mall in Long Island, New York, and to educational institutions (such as the New York City Public school system). In addition to our soups, we sell to our educational institution customers, various vegetarian items such a Mexicali Beans, Stewed Pinto Beans and Curried Chick Peas with Tomatillos, which are low in fat, low in sodium and high in dietary fiber.

No franchises were sold during the six months ended February 28, 2017.

Executive Summary

This Executive Summary provides significant highlights from the discussion and analysis that follows. Each balance sheet comparison compares February 28, 2017 (the end of the current period) to August 31, 2016 (the end of the prior fiscal year); each income statement comparison compares the six months ended February 28, 2017 to the six months ended February 29, 2016.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased approximately 16% or approximately $656,000.

Net debt increased by approximately 25% or $1 million, due to an increase in borrowings and the amortization of debt discount to interest expense.

Revenue increased 13% or $223,000 due primarily an increase in sales to grocery stores and a decrease in bulk sales due to lower bulk inventory.

Tetra sales increased 83%, or approximately $779,000. Our year-over-year increase in our grocery store sales is primarily attributable to the acquisition of new customers and increased re-orders due to our overall marketing and promotional efforts including sampling, in-store radio, in-store discounting of our products and slotting.

Operating expenses increased 37% or approximately $ 626,000 due primarily to increases in stock based compensation to consultants and increases in promotion to drive tetra pak sales in grocery chains.

Net loss decreased 20% or approximately $426,000 due primarily to a decrease in other expenses mainly attributable to the change in fair value of derivative liabilities and to a lesser extent a decrease in compensation expense.

Year-over-year comparability of earnings and earnings per share

The following items affected the comparability of year-over-year earnings and earnings per share:


	·	During the six months ended February 28, 2017 we posted a change in fair value of derivatives liabilities of $1,507,480.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests

We own 80% controlling interest in KIOSK; the remaining 20% is owned by Al Yeganeh, from whom we license our soup recipes. The noncontrolling interests' share in the net loss was included in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of operations.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

There were no unusual or infrequent events or transactions, or significant economic changes that materially affected the amount of reported income or expenses from operations and nor is the Company aware of any known uncertainties that it reasonably expects will have a material impact income or expenses from operations, other than in the normal course of business such as seasonality.

Tetra sales for the quarter increased by $258,000 however, bulk sales for the quarter declined by $256,000 and franchise sales and royalties for the quarter declined by $106,000 leading to an overall decline in revenues for the quarter of $104,000 compared to the same quarter last year. The decline in bulk revenues is due to a lack of sufficient capital to purchase inventory for our bulk customers, including our own franchise stores.

The following table summarizes our soup sales for the three months ended February 28, 2017 and 2016; all amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousandth. Soup sales are net of slotting fees (a onetime fee charged by supermarkets in order to have the product placed on their shelves) and sales discounts (early payment discounts).

Our year-over-year increase in our grocery store sales is primarily attributable to the acquisition of new customers and increased re-orders due to our overall marketing and promotional efforts including sampling, in-store radio, in-store discounting of our products and slotting.

Operating Expenses

Year over year operating expenses increased 22% or approximately $215,000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in stock based compensation to consultants and increases in promotion to drive tetra pak sales in grocery chains. The following table summarizes major components of our operating expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2017 and February 28, 2016; all amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousandth.

Other Income (Expense)

Year-over-year other expenses decreased approximately 64%, from an approximately $370,000. This increase was primarily attributable to change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

Net Loss

Year-over-year net loss decreased approximately 19% or $274,000 due to the various factors discussed above, which impacted revenue, cost of sales, gross profit and operating expenses. Our year-over-year basic and diluted net loss per share decreased by $0.06, due primarily to a narrow loss for the period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our net cash used from operations was approximately $1.5 million during the six months ended February 28, 2017 compared to a net loss of approximately $1.7 million, and repaid debt and accrued interest of approximately $310,000, during the six months ended February 28, 2017.

The following table summarizes our working capital as of February 28, 2017, and August 31, 2016; all amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousandth.


	February 28, 2017			August 31, 2016
Current assets	$	1,288,000		$	2,141,000
Current liabilities		(10,643,000	)		(11,292,000	)
Working capital (deficit)	$	(9,355,000	)	$	(9,151,000	)

At February 28, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ $23,000 as compared to approximately $1,425,000 at August 31, 2016. During the six months ended February 28, 2017, our working capital deficit increased approximately $205,000 primarily attributable to an increase in total debt and accounts payables of approximately $1,000,000 and $656,000 respectively, offset by decreases in cash and prepaid expenses of approximately $1,400,000 and $70,000, respectively.

Current and Future Financing Needs

The Company has incurred a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $10.6 million through February 28, 2017 and has incurred a net loss including non-controlling interest of approximately $1.7 million for the six months ended February 28, 2017. We have incurred negative cash flow from operations since inception and have primarily financed our operations through the sale of stock and the issuance of notes. At February 28, 2017, we had short-term debt of approximately $3.8 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $9.4 million. The Company received a termination letter from its Tetra pak manufacturer, but has reached an oral agreement to extend time to cure and is working out payment arrangements on the $332,000 balance. If the agreement is terminated, the Company’s ability to produce soup would be seriously impaired until such time as the Company found an alternative tetra supplier. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating m the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

The actual amount of funds we will need to operate is subject to many factors, some of which are beyond our control. The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues will be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the immediately foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Therefore, if further financing is unavailable to the Company in the foreseeable future for any reason whatsoever, the Company may be forced to pursue a strategy of reorganization or liquidation.

We do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the foreseeable future and insufficient cash to achieve our business goals. If our anticipated sales for the next few months do not meet our expectations, our existing resources will not be sufficient to meet our cash flow requirements. Furthermore, if our expenses exceed our anticipations, we will need additional funds to implement our business plan. We will not be able to fully establish our business if we do not have adequate working capital so we will need to raise additional funds, whether through a stock offering or otherwise.

While we believe, we will need to rise between $10 and $15 million to implement our full business strategy; we believe that if we are able to raise no less than $2.5 million during the next quarter, it will be sufficient to support our normal operations for the next 12 months. If we are unable to raise the $10 to $15 million, we will not be able to make potential acquisitions, may have to reduce our marketing and promotion efforts and potentially the size of our operations as well, unless current sales increase enough to support implementing our full business plan. We believe that at $5 million in sales, our operations would be self-sustaining and cash flow positive. If we are forced to reduce our marketing and promotion efforts and/or size of our operations because we are unable to raise at least $2.5 million or pay outstanding notes, and current sales do not increase enough to support implementing our business plan, our revenues will likely be less than had we been able to implement our full program, and as a direct result our income may suffer, and may not be sufficient to cover our negative cash flow, negatively affecting our liquidity and ability to operate.
