NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

 

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:       

 

Nature of Corporation:

 

Ultra Sun Corp (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada in November 2004.  On November 13, 2013, we changed our name to Cannabis Sativa, Inc.   Our wholly-owned subsidiary Kush was acquired by us in June 2014 in exchange for shares of our common stock.  Our wholly-owned subsidiary Wild Earth Naturals, Inc. (“Wild Earth”) was acquired by us in July 2013 in exchange for shares of our common stock.  From our inception through September 30, 2013 we were engaged in the tanning salon business and operated a tanning salon in Saratoga Springs, Utah under the name “Sahara Sun Tanning.”  As a result of our acquisition of Wild Earth in July 2013, we became engaged in the herbal skin care products business.  On September 30, 2013, we sold the assets of the tanning salon business to a third party.  As a result of our acquisition of Kush in June 2014, along with our Wild Earth operations we are now engaged in the developing and promoting of natural cannabis products.  On November 2, 2015, Kush was spun out of the Company.  On August 8, 2016, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with iBudtender Inc. to purchase 50.1% of iBudtender Inc.

 

Basis of  Presentation:

 

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016, has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements and the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2017 and 2016, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 Annual Report”), filed with the Securites and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  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 statements presentation.  The consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

 

Principles of Consolidation:

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cannabis Sativa, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary; Wild Earth Naturals, Inc., Hi-Brands International, Inc. and Eden Holdings LLC and its 50.1% ownership of iBudtender Inc. (the “Company”).  All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Method of Accounting:

 

The Company maintains its books and prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Use of Estimates:

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Such management estimates include the valuation of digital currency, allowance for doubtful accounts, realizability of inventories, valuation of intangible assets, recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, and the valuation of equity based instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  


CANNABIS SATIVA, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

 

Liquidity

 

Our operations have been financed primarily through proceeds from notes payable, convertible notes payable, sale of common stock and revenue generated from sales of our products. These funds have provided us with the resources to operate our business, sell and support our products, attract and retain key personnel and add new products to our portfolio. We have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations each year since our inception. As of March 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $61,200,000.

 

We have raised funds through the issuance of debt and the sale of common stock. We have also issued equity instruments in certain circumstances to pay for services from professionals and consultants. A total of $553,830 was raised in gross proceeds from the issuance of a private placement memorandum. A total of $356,100 was raised during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and $197,730 was raised during the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Accounts Receivable:

 

We estimate credit loss reserves for accounts receivable on an individual receivable basis. A specific allowance reserve is established based on expected future cash flows and the financial condition of the debtor.  We charge off customer balances in part or in full when it is more likely than not that we will not collect that amount of the balance due.  We consider any balance unpaid after the contract payment period to be past due.  At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 the Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $-0-.

 

Inventory:

 

Inventory cost includes those costs directly attributable to the product before sale. Inventory consists of salves, ointments, lotions, creams and balms and is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using first-in, first-out method of determining cost. At March 31, 2017, there was $6,213 in raw materials and $3,532 in finished goods inventory. At December 31, 2016 the Company has $8,783 in raw materials and $345 in finished goods inventory.

 

Fixed Assets:

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The average lives range from five (5) to ten (10) years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred.  Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred.  

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

 

The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value given their short term nature or effective interest rates.

 

Cash:

 

For financial accounting purposes, cash and cash equivalents are considered to be all highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three (3) months or less.

 

Net Loss per Share:

 

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and contains no dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity.  Common stock equivalents from convertible notes payable and preferred stock were approximately $773,000 and $732,000at March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively and are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect is anti-dilutive.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

 

Revenue Recognition:

 

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales or services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.    

 

Digital Currencies Translations and Re-measurements

 

The Company accounts for digital currencies, which it considers to be an operating asset, at their initial cost and subsequently re-measures the carrying amounts of digital currencies it owns at each reporting period based on their current fair value. The changes in the fair value of digital currencies are included as a component of income or loss from operations. The Company currently classifies digital currencies as a current asset. The Company estimates the equivalency rate of hempcoins to bitcoins to USD from Coinmarketcap.com. The equivalency rate of garycoins to bitcoins to USD is estimated from C-cex.com and Coinmarketcap.com. The equivalency rate obtained from Coinmarket represents a generally well recognized quoted price in an active market for bitcoins, which market and related database are accessible to the Company on an ongoing basis.

 

Intangible Assets:

 

Intangible assets are comprised of patents, trademarks, the Company’s “CBDS.com” website domain and intellectual property rights.  The patent is being amortized using the straight-line method over its economic life, which is estimated to be twenty (20) years.  The trademarks are being amortized between 15 and 20 years. CBDS.com website is being amortized using the straight-line method over its economic life, which is estimated to be fifteen (15) years.  The intellectual property rights are being amortized using the straight-line month over its economic life, which is estimated to be between (10 - 15) years.

 

Long-Lived Assets:

 

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We evaluate assets for potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted net cash flows to the carrying amount of the assets. If the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, impairment is measured based on the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and fair value. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, if material. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we did not recognize any impairment of our long-lived assets.

 

Income Taxes:

 

The Company estimates the annual tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. As the year progresses, we refine the estimates of the year’s taxable income as new information becomes available, including year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process can result in a change to the expected effective tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected annual tax rate. Significant judgment may be required in determining the Company’s effective tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions.

 

The effective income tax rate of 0% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 differed from the statutory rate, due primarily to net operating losses incurred by the Company in the respective periods.  For the three months ended March 31, 2017, a tax benefit of approximately $300,000would have been generated.  For the three months ended March 31, 2016 a tax benefit of approximately $48,000 would have been generated.  However, all benefits have been fully offset through an allowance account due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the net operating losses. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had net operating losses of approximately $2,000,000resulting in a deferred tax asset of approximately $300,000.  As of March 31, 2016, the Company had net operating losses of approximately $320,000 resulting in a deferred tax asset of approximately $48,000.  


CANNABIS SATIVA, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016

 

The Company has established a valuation allowance in the full amount of the deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of the utilization of operating losses in future periods.

 

  Stock-Based Compensation:  

 

  Stock-based compensation is computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718. FASB ASC 718 requires all share-based payment to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values.  That expense will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company has selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate fair value method for our awards and have recognized compensation costs immediately as our awards are 100% vested.    

 

The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50.  The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete.

 

In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.  Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with ASC 718.  

 

Advertising Expense:

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and adminsitrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs were approximately $35,374 and $620 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Business Combinations:

 

We account for business combinations by recognizing the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair values on the acquisition date. The final purchase price may be adjusted up to one year from the date of the acquisition. Identifying the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of estimates by management and was based upon currently available data. Examples of critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets we have acquired or may acquire in the future include but are not limited to future expected cash flows from product sales, support agreements, consulting contracts, other customer contracts, and acquired developed technologies and patents and discount rates utilized in valuation estimates.

 

Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results. Additionally, any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in our estimate of relevant revenue or other targets, will be recognized in earnings in the period of the estimated fair value change. A change in fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration or the occurrence of events that cause results to differ from our estimates or assumptions could have a material effect on the consolidated statements of operations, financial position and cash flows in the period of the change in the estimate.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements:

 

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements issued which are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Management continues to monitor and review recently issued accounting guidance upon issuance.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU provides clarification regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The issues addressed in this ASU that will affect us is classifying debt prepayments or debt extinguishment costs and contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures and had no other impact to the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The ASU involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. Certain of these changes are required to be applied retrospectively, while other changes are required to be applied prospectively. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption will be permitted in any interim or annual period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. As a result of the adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2017, we have made an entity-wide accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur. There is no cumulative-effect adjustment as a result of the adoption of this ASU as our estimated forfeiture rate prior to adoption of this ASU was 0%. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Current U.S. GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update will align the presentation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are effective for fiscal years after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2017 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements - continued:

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. Topic 330. Inventory, currently requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. An entity should measure in scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments in this ASU more closely align the measurement of inventory in U.S. GAAP with the measurement of inventory in IFRS. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.

The adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2017 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU 2014-15 describes how an entity should assess its ability to meet obligations and sets rules for how this information should be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The standard provides accounting guidance that will be used along with existing auditing standards. The ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. The adoption of this ASU as of January 1, 2017 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

2.  Eden Holdings LLC

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company created Eden Holdings LLC.  The purpose of the entity is to hold the intellectual property of Cannabis Sativa, Inc.  As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, there has been no activity in the LLC.  

 

3.   Fair Value Measurements

 

We adopted ASC Topic 820 for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

 

·  

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

·  

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

·  

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information.  These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision.  The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value given their short term nature or effective interest rates.  We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis.

The Company entered into a convertible note payable with IDEA for payment of the $35,000 set-up fee.  The convertible note and accrued interest were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a variable conversion price equal to 40% multiplied by the average of the 3 highest and 2 lowest trading days in the 10-day period preceding conversion.  In addition, the note contains an antidilution feature in which the conversion price could further adjust if the Company sells equity securities at an effective price less than the current conversion price, as defined.   The maturity date of the note was January 2, 2017. The note bore interest at 10%.  IDEA converted the note into 30,000 shares in April 2016.  In December 2016, the Company issued an additional 30,000 as compensation to IDEA, which were valued at approximately $150,000 based on the closing price on such date and recorded as interest expense.

In determining the fair value of the intangible assets, the Company considered, among other factors, the best use of acquired assets such as a business to consumer web portal and app, analyses of historical financial performance of the products and estimates of future performance of the products and intellectual properties acquired. The fair values of the identified intangible assets related to Intellectual Property and Goodwill and the Company has preliminarily recorded the purchase price as an intangible asset and such asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years.  During 2014 and 2015, the Company utilized an amortization period of 20 years, but based on a change in estimate and the evolving industry, the Company is utilizing a useful life of 10 years. The purchase price allocation is subject to completion of the Company’s analysis of the fair value of the assets acquired as of the date of the acquisition. Any related adjustment is not expected to be material.  The final valuation is expected to be completed as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the closing of the transaction. The fair value of the non-controlling interest is based on the estimated fair value, net of discounts for lack of marketability and control.  The establishment of the allocation to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets requires the extensive use of accounting estimates and management judgment. The fair values assigned to the assets acquired are based on estimates and assumptions from data currently available.

11.  Going Concern Considerations

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has negative working capital, has incurred operating losses since inception, and has not yet produced significant continuing revenues from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that the Company cannot continue as a going concern. Management anticipates that it will be able to raise additional working capital through the issuance of stock and through additional loans from investors.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise adequate capital to fund operating losses until it is able to engage in profitable business operations. To the extent financing is not available, the Company may not be able to, or may be delayed in, developing its services and meeting its obligations. The Company will continue to evaluate its projected expenditures relative to its available cash and to evaluate additional means of financing in order to satisfy its working capital and other cash requirements. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

12.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company leases an office and warehouse facility in Mesquite, Nevada that serves as the principal executive offices and provides manufacturing and warehouse space. The leased space consists of 908 square feet.  Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $2,936 and $2,315, respectively.  On March 1, 2017, a new lease agreement was signed at a monthly rate of $1,392.  Lease term is for 12 (twelve) months with a renewal option available for an additional 12 (twelve) months.

 

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, we may face various claims brought by third parties and we may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert our rights, including intellectual property disputes, contractual disputes and other commercial disputes. Any of these claims could subject us to litigation. Management believes the outcomes of currently pending claims are not likely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In May 2015, a suit was brought against the Company by a subcontractor for non-payment of services.  In April 2017, the pending litigation was settled for $19,000, which the Company had accrued.

 

13.   Subsequent Events

 

Common Stock Issued for Services

During the period from April 1, 2017 through May 1, 2017, 143,169 restricted shares were issued for services.

Corporate History

 

We were incorporated under the laws of Nevada in November 2005.  We acquired a wholly-owned subsidiary named Kush, a Nevada corporation, in June 2014 in exchange for shares of our common stock.  Since November 2015, Kush has been spun off and is no longer a subsidiary of the Company.  Our wholly-owned subsidiary Wild Earth Naturals, Inc. ("Wild Earth") was acquired by us in July 2013 in exchange for shares of our common stock.  We acquired a 50.1% interest in our subsidiary iBudtender, Inc., including its wholly owned subsidiary iBudtender, LLC, a California limited liability company (collectively, “iBudtender”) in August of 2016 in exchange for cash and shares of our common stock. From our inception through September 30, 2013, we were engaged in the tanning salon business and operated a tanning salon in Saratoga Springs, Utah under the name "Sahara Sun Tanning."  As a result of our acquisition of Wild Earth in July 2013, we became engaged in the herbal skin care products business.  On September 30, 2013, we sold the assets of the tanning salon business to a third party.

 




Description of Our Business

 

We are engaged in the research, development, acquisition and licensing of specialized natural cannabis related products, including cannabis formulas, edibles, topicals, strains, recipes and delivery systems.  We also are engaged in marketing and branding within the cannabis space, including with our trademark pending “hi” brand and others.

Our Strategy

 

We plan to license our intellectual property, including patents, branding and know-how to companies licensed under, and in full compliance with, state regulations applicable to cannabis businesses.   We also plan to market certain products and to control the quality of our products beginning at the formulation stage and continuing through controlled sourcing of raw ingredients, manufacturing, packaging, and labeling.  We will continue to support and prosecute our pending patents, and to develop and acquire new patents, trade secrets, trademarks and other intellectual property. In addition, we will seek new branding and licensing opportunities for our intellectual property and we will seek strategic corporate and product acquisitions.

Total operating expenses were $2,007,334 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017 and $331,927 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016.  The increase of $1,675,407 was due primarily to an increase of $1,596,219 in professional fees related to the development of business transactions for the Company.  The bulk of the expenses for both quarters were non-cash transactions.  In the first quarter of 2017, the primary non-cash transaction was stock issued for services in the amount of $1,653,000.  In the first quarter of 2016, the primary non-cash transaction was also stock issued for services in the amount of $179,624.  Despite the large net loss amounts for both quarters, because of non-cash transactions, the net cash used in operating activities was $141,750 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 and $50,543 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As stated above, our operations used $141,750 in cash for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. During the same quarter, financing activities provided cash of $771,236. Cash provided by financing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, came from cash proceeds from the sale of stock in the amount of $415,136 and cash proceeds from a private offering of stock in the amount of $356,100.

 

As stated above, our operations used $50,543 in cash for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. During the same quarter, financing activities provided cash of $56,500. Cash provided by financing activities during the first quarter of 2016, came from cash proceeds from related parties in the amount of $56,500.

 




The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As stated above, we incurred net loss of $2,030,380 and $321,475, respectively, for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and had an accumulated deficit of $61,235,463 as of March 31, 2017.  The Company may seek to raise money for working capital purposes through a public offering of its equity capital or through a private placement of equity capital or convertible debt.  The Company has also issued an aggregate of 230,775 warrants which expire on January 31, 2020.  Each warrant is for the purchase of one share of common stock of the Company at the exercise price of $2.00 per share.  It will be important for the Company to be successful in its efforts to raise capital in this manner if it is going to be able to further its business plan in an aggressive manner.  Raising capital in this manner will cause dilution to current shareholders.

 

As of May 18, 2017, the Company had cash on hand of $563,824.  Much of the cash came from financing activities during the first quarter of 2017.  As a result, the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet the immediate needs of our current operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

 

Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as follows: lack of timely closing of books and ability to get accounting information and schedules to our auditors in a timely manner.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Management identified the following material weaknesses:

 

  We have not performed a risk assessment and mapped our processes to control objectives;  

  We have not implemented comprehensive entity-level internal controls;  

  We have not implemented adequate system and manual controls;  

  We did not employ an adequate number of people to ensure a control environment that would allow for the  




accurate and timely reporting of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP; and  

  We do not have sufficient segregation of duties.  

 

Based on our evaluation under the frameworks described above, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2017.  However, moving forward with the intended addition of additional staff, we believe our current framework will help remedy our material weaknesses.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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

 

The board of directors approved a Private Placement Memorandum (“PPM”) on October 14, 2016, pursuant to which the Company would conduct a private placement of units.  The PPM offered 625,000 units at $2.40 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant.  Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00.  The warrants expire on January 31, 2020.  The offering terminated on January 31, 2017.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company issued 230,775 shares of common stock and warrants subscribed for under the PPM in exchange for $553,830, of which $356,100 was received during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock for services.  The shares had a fair value of $1,653,300.
