THE CHRON ORGANIZATION, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

 

1. Organization – Nature of Operations

 

The Chron Organization, Inc. (the “Company” or “CHRO”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 28, 1999. On March 24, 2016 FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.) approved the name and CUSIP change from USA Restaurant Funding, Inc. to The Chron Organization, Inc. (OTCQB: CHRO). The Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “The Chron Organization, Inc.”, to reflect the change in direction of the Company’s business to smart home technologies and the next generation in energy utility services.

 

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Zen Technologies, Inc. The business platform is a combined by the offering of energy services and smart controls. The business model is based upon the belief that these two aspects, combined with an increasing commercial demand for more sustainable business practices will continue to be burgeoning trends. The Company offers a unique value proposition to commercial, industrial, and municipal customers whereby the offer is a means to reduce utility expenses through energy-efficient and smart control products and services. In addition to these services the Company will also provide electricity needs to its customer base through its retail electricity provider subsidiary.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principals of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Chron Organization, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Zen Technologies, Inc. and Zen Energy, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Key estimates in the accompanying financial statements include, among others, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

 

The financial statements are presented on the basis of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. See further information in Note 3. Going Concern .

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

 

Prepaid Expenses – As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 prepaid expenses totaled $50,824 and $40,750, respectively. The balance of prepaid expenses consists of business insurance and rent related expenses.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and includes this information in the notes to consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The estimated fair value of accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of short- and long-term debt also approximates fair value since these instruments bear market rates of interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.

 

7
 

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Stock – Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The dilutive shares outstanding at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:

 

    September 30, 2017     December 31, 2016  
             
Related party convertible promissory notes     58,333,333       64,333,333  
Related Party Warrants     32,166,667       32,166,667  
Convertible promissory notes     194,633,333       25,000,000  
Warrants     19,161,000       10,000,000  
Diluted shares outstanding     303,961,000       131,500,000  

 

Income Taxes – The Company estimates its current tax position together with its future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation and other reserves for tax and accounting purposes. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Management must then assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, prior year carryback, or future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. To the extent management believes that recovery is unlikely, management establishes a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty these assets will be used in the future.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes sales, which include shipping fees where applicable, net of estimated returns, at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When the Company collects payments from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amounts received are generally recorded as deferred sales. They are included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, until the sale or service is completed. The Company reserves for estimated sales returns based on historical trends in merchandise returns, net of the estimated net realizable value of merchandise inventories to be returned and any estimated disposition costs. Amounts collected from members, which under common trade practices are referred to as sales taxes, are recorded on a net basis.

 

Software Development Costs – The Company capitalizes certain expenditures to the development of its software application. Capitalization begins when technological feasibility is established. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the developed product.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature - The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No 98-5 To Certain Convertible Instruments. The Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued and records the estimated fair value of any warrants issued with those convertible notes. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.

 

8
 

 

The BCF of a convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note’s proceeds to the warrants, if applicable, and as a discount on the carrying amount of the convertible note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are credited to mezzanine equity. The value of the proceeds received from a convertible note is then allocated between the conversion features and warrants and the debt on an allocated fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount (premium) from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense.

 

Classification - The Company had classified the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible notes as mezzanine equity on the consolidated balance sheets as the stock was contingently redeemable. Upon the occurrence of certain change in control events that are outside the Company’s control, including liquidation, sale or transfer of the Company, holders of the convertible preferred stock could cause redemption for cash. Pursuant to ASC 480-10-S99-3A, the SEC finds that a BCF should be separated from a convertible instrument and recorded in additional paid-in capital. However, Company’s filing with the SEC should present BCF as mezzanine equity in order to distinguish them from permanent equity. The balance sheet reflects the redeemable equity instruments as mezzanine equity separate from permanent equity.

 

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”). This update is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted ASU 2014-15 as of the required effective date of December 31, 2016. The Company performed a working capital analysis as of December 31, 2016 to determine whether or not this disclosure was appropriate and included the additional disclosure in Note 3 – Going Concern.

 

When evaluating the Company’s ability to meet its obligations, Management considered the current financial condition, including liquidity sources at the date that the financial statements were issued, the Company’s conditional and unconditional obligations due or anticipated within one year after the date that the financial statements were issued, funds necessary to maintain the Company’s operations considering its current financial condition, and other conditions and events, when considered in conjunction with the items pervious mentioned, that may adversely affect its ability to meet its obligations. The Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 as discussed in Note 3 – Going Concern.

 

3. Going Concern

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 a charge to debt discount in the amount of $2,009 through interest expense. At September 30, 2017, the debt discount was $71,324.

Convertible Promissory Note Summary

 

The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion features and the fair value of the warrants underlying the Convertible Promissory Notes were calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes Model. The following table summarizes the carrying value of the Convertible Promissory Note as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

 

    September 30, 2017     December 31, 2016  
             
Convertible Promissory Note   $ 1,417,000     $ 500,000  
Less: debt discount     (632,310 )     (228,059 )
Warrants     (72,720 )     (38,105 )
Total net carrying value   $ 711,970     $ 233,836  

 

7. Income Taxes

 

No provision for federal income taxes has been recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and twelve months ended December 31, 2016, as the Company has a net operating loss carry forward for income tax purposes available in each period. Additionally, it is uncertain if the Company will have taxable income in the future, so a valuation allowance has been established for the full value of net tax assets. The deferred tax asset consists of net operating loss carry forwards and the Company has no deferred tax liabilities.

 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $1,527,726 and $713,387, respectively for federal income tax purposes. This net operating loss carry forwards may be carried forward in varying amounts until 2036 and may be limited in their use due to significant changes in the Company’s ownership.

 

    September 30, 2017     December 31, 2016  
             
Net operating loss carryforwards   $ 1,527,726     $ 713,387  
Less: valuation allowance     (1,527,726 )     (713,387 )
Net deferred tax asset   $ -     $ -  

 

The Company has valued its net deferred tax asset at zero with a valuation allowance due to the substantial doubt taxable income will be generated in the future to utilize the deferred tax asset.

 

8. Related Party Transactions

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued the Chairman of the Board a convertible promissory note, (the “Related Party Convertible Promissory Note”) in an amount up to $200,000 along with 32,166,667 warrants. The note accrues interest at 2% per annum. The issuance of the financial instruments was made in the ordinary course of business, and were given fair market treatment. The Related Party Convertible Promissory Note matures on December 31, 2017. See Note 5. Related Party Convertible Promissory Note.

 

Additionally, the Company merged with a company controlled by related parties. See following Note 9. Merger.

 

9. Merger

 

On July 1, 2016, the Company exchanged 165,000,000 shares of the Company’s unregistered shares of common stock for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Chron Energy, Inc. (“CEI”), a Nevada corporation to related parties (consisting of the company’s Chief Compliance Officer and an LLC managed by the Company’s President). CEI possessed intellectual property and strategic relationships (the “Assets”) that are integral to the Company’s entrance into the home automation and retail electric provider markets. Generally, the total acquisition consideration price would be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the total of estimated fair values assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed would then be recognized as goodwill. At the date of merger, CEI had no liabilities and the Assets had no carrying value on the books. Since the acquisition was with related parties, no increase in the carrying value of the Assets or goodwill can be realized on the books of the Company.

 

There was no change of control of the Company as a result of the Merger. See above Note 8 . Related Party Transitions .

11. Contingencies

 

In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company may be subject to loss contingencies including possible disputes and lawsuits.

12. Subsequent Events

 

On October 2, 2017 (the “Original Issue Date”) the Company entered into and closed on the transaction set forth in the Loan Agreement (the “Vista Loan Agreement”) it entered into with Vista Capital Investments, LLC (“Vista”) for the sale of the Company’s 20% original issue discount convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $220,000 and issue commitment shares in the amount of seven million five hundred thousand (2,722,500) restricted common shares in the Company. Pursuant to the Vista Loan Agreement, the Company issued to vista upon closing for a purchase price of $220,000: (i) 20% Original Issue Discount 8% Convertible Note (the “Vista” 20% OID Notes”) in the principal amount of $220,000 (the “Note”); and (ii) security purchase agreement to issue 2,722,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. The maturity date of the 20% OID Note is October 2, 2019. The holder of the Vista 20% OID Notes has the right, at any time, to convert all or a portion of the principal amount of the note into shares of common stock of the Company at the conversion price. The per share conversion price is the lowest per share trading price for the 20-day trading period immediately prior to the conversion date multiplied by sixty-percent (60%); however, the conversion shall not be less than $0.01. The Vista 20% OID Notes may be prepaid at any time, within the 90 day period immediately following the Issuance Date, the Company shall have the option, upon 10 business days’ notice to Holder, to pre-pay the entire remaining outstanding principal amount of this Note in cash, provided that (i) the Company shall pay the Holder 135% of the Outstanding Balance, (ii) such amount must be paid in cash on the next business day following such 10 business day notice period, and (iii) the Holder may still convert the note to the terms at all times until such prepayment amount has been received in full.

 

18
 

 

The Company agreed to satisfy the current public information requirements under SEC Rule 144(c), among other things. The Vista 20% OID Notes are not convertible to the extent that (a) the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the holder and (b) the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Vista 20% OID Notes or otherwise would result in the beneficial ownership by holder of more than 4.9% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock. This ownership limitation can be increased or decreased by the holder upon 61 days notice to the Company. Further, the holder of the Vista 20% OID Notes may not convert the note if such conversion would cause the holder’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s outstanding common stock to exceed 9.9%.

 

Registration Rights Agreement. The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Vista dated as of October 2, 2017 as required pursuant to the terms of the Vista Loan Agreement (the “Vista Registration Rights Agreement”). The Vista Registration Rights Agreement requires the Company to, among other things, use commercially reasonable efforts to: (1) file a registration statement covering Vista’s resale of the common stock underlying the Vista 20% OID Notes within ninety (90) days following the Original Issue Date. If the Company fails to comply with the registration requirements or a registration statement ceases to be effective or fails to be usable for its intended purpose, the Company is obligated to pay Vista liquidated damages.

 

On October 18, 2017 an Information Statement was furnished to the holders of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) of The Chron Organization, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Regulation 14C, in connection with the approval of the actions described below taken by unanimous written consent of the board of directors of the Company and by written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company to amend the following:

2. Amend our Restated Articles to increase our authorized common stock from 1,450,000,000 shares to 1,700,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value per share, which such shares shall be issuable on such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may determine from time to time (the “Share Increase”).
   

 

[Include disclosure on Crown Bridge financing here and in Item 5]

 

On November 7, 2017 the Company filed a Form S-1 registration statement. The prospectus relates to the offer and sale of up to 56,676,580 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), by the selling stockholders (each, a “Selling Stockholder” and collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains forward-looking statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results.

 

We caution that the factors described herein and other factors could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

 

Introduction

 

The following discussion and analysis was prepared to supplement information contained in the accompanying financial statements and is intended to provide certain details regarding the Company’s financial condition as of September 30, 2017, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. It should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and notes thereto contained in this report as well as the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Form 10, filed with the SEC.

 

Business Overview

 

We are a business-to-business company, whose business platform is a combined offering of energy services and smart controls. Our business model is based upon the belief that these two aspects, combined with an ever-increasing commercial demand for more sustainable business practices will continue to be burgeoning trends. Historically, services such as electricity and natural gas have been provided by monopoly based companies; these legacy entities are in the business of selling commodity and related services and naturally, selling as much of these (kilo-watt-hours of electricity and thermal units of natural gas) as possible. In some cases, it has been this way for nearly a century. However, the growing demand from commercial and municipal entities for responsible energy, more control and transparency, and overall sustainability, have proven to be at odds with the mission of these legacy entities. Zen Technology offers a unique value proposition to commercial, industrial, and municipal customers whereby we offer a means to reduce their utility expenses anywhere from 20% up to 60% through energy-efficient and smart control products and services.

 

Toward making our claim in the marketplace, we have built a service offering that we have deemed “Energy as a Service” and/or “Sustainability as a Service”. We also have plans to complement this offering by launching a “Retail Energy Platform” that, when combined, are expected to position us to become a provider of a unique suite of energy usage and management products and services to commercial, industrial, and municipal end-use customers which we refer to as “target customers”. Currently, we (i) provide energy brokerage and procurement services, (ii) sell commercial energy conservation equipment, load factor improvement technologies, HVAC & Refrigeration based technologies, LED lighting and lighting controls, and (iii) plan to sell commercial energy utility services following the completion of our planned acquisition of Enertrade Electric, LLC (“Enertrade”), a Texas based Retail Electric Provider as further discussed below.

 

20
 

 

The foundation of our unique selling proposition is based on our Zero Cost Program. This is a turnkey solution that enables our target customers to upgrade their older, inefficient customer premise equipment and assets, allowing for installation of energy-efficient retrofits such as HVAC and refrigeration motor controllers, load factor improvement technologies, building-envelope-based technologies, weatherization-based technologies, smart controls, and LED lighting, all at no up-front cost to them. The Zero Cost Program will be facilitated through an industry standard agreement referred to as a Managed Energy Services Agreement (“MESA”). Under the MESA, Zen Technology will be obligated to develop, arrange financing for, install and maintain all energy efficiency measures and equipment installed by Zen Technology. Zen Technology will retain ownership of all installed equipment. The minimum term of the MESA is expected to be five years with an expected average of seven years. Under the terms of the MESA, our customers will be obligated to pay us a portion of their savings in utility costs following the installation of our equipment; these are referred to as “Service Payments”. Service Payments are expected to be fixed payments made on a monthly basis over the term of the agreement from the customer to Zen Technology and these payments are expected to scale down over the term of the MESA, allowing the customer to reap more and more of the dollar savings from the respective utility company each year.

 

Effectuating a successful MESA will require us to implement credit review and standard underwriting procedures. This process includes, but is not limited to, the following: standard credit screening provided by credit reporting agencies (i.e. Experian), business profile reports from Dun & Bradstreet, review of trade credit and references, confirmation that client has been in operation for greater than 10 years, and our proprietary review and assessment of historical accounting records and industry landscape. In order for Zen Technology to effectively market, sell, and implement MESAs, Zen Technology must utilize third-party financing entities to provide project and strategic financing toward fulfilling its working capital requirements to acquire and install the equipment required under the MESA. For this reason, we engaged in discussions with advisors and investment banks for the purpose of procuring a long-term and scalable financing solution for this aspect of our business.

 

With respect to our retail energy plans, through a Texas PUC approved and licensed “Retail Electric Provider” or “REP”, we plan to target end-use customers in the commercial and industrial sectors. While many of our customers are expected to be existing Zero Cost Customers, we also plan to market our retail electricity service in general. //Members of our management team have experience in building Retail Electric Providers. We believe that this experience and industry expertise will help us build a viable and well-rounded energy services company, with a large emphasis on conservation and sustainability. Furthermore, we believe that the combination of our energy conservation products and our ability to provide retail energy services following the completion of our planned acquisition of Enertrade will provide us with a significant advantage over our competitors. We believe that this combination will allow us to offer a very unique value proposition to the customer.

 

Corporate Name Change and Share Increase

 

As part of our rebranding and marketing efforts focused on our energy and smart controls business, our board of directors unanimously approved on October 18, 2017 the change of our corporate name to Zenergy Brands, Inc. In addition, the board of directors unanimously approved on October 18, 2017 to increase our authorized Class A Common Stock from 1,450,000,000 shares to 1,700,000,000 shares, which such shares will be issuable on such terms and conditions as the board of directors may determine from time to time. Subsequent to our board of directors’ approval of these amendments, the holders of a majority of the voting power of our voting stock, on October 18, 2017 approved, by written consent, the amendments. The consenting stockholders and their respective approximate ownership percentages of our voting stock totaled an aggregate of 78.8% of the outstanding voting stock.

 

Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the amendments discussed above will not be effected until at least 20 calendar days after the mailing of an Information Statement to our stockholders. The amendments have been filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. However, because the Class A Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Markets, the name change requires processing by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), as well, pursuant to Rule 10b-17 of the Exchange Act in order for the name change to be recognized in the market for trading purposes. We expect to receive FINRA’s clearance prior to the expiration of the 20-day waiting period under Rule 14c-2, and we expect that the name change and share increase will be effective in November 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had a working capital deficit of $1,562,863 as of September 30, 2017 compared to a working capital deficit of $529,476 as of December 31, 2016 primarily as a result of an increase in borrowings, subscription liabilities, accounts payables and accrued payroll.

The increase is primarily a result of the net loss associated with the launch of our current business. Net cash flow used in investing activities was $92,746 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $18,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $92,746 was used to develop software.

 

Our primary source of liquidity has been proceeds from the issuance of debt securities and equity securities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,531,050 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $1,049,234 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we received $429,050 from the sale of common stock, $125,000 from the sale of preferred stock, $963,000 from proceeds from convertible promissory notes, $40,000 from proceeds from notes payable and $20,000 from proceeds from issuance of stock in our subsidiary.

 

Cash Requirements

 

Our management does not believe that our current capital resources will be adequate to continue operating our company and maintaining our business strategy for more than 12 months. Accordingly, we will have to raise additional capital in the near future to meet our working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, if and when it is needed, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.

 

Going Concern.

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and the audited financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company reports a net loss of $2,164,422 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and $1,771,738 for the year ended December 31, 2016, and an accumulated deficit of $4,493,312 as of September 30, 2017.

 

The Company had a working capital deficit of $1,5362,863 and negative cash flow from continuing operating activity of $1,459,590 at September 30, 2017. The Company’s revenue from operations is not sufficient to meet its working capital needs and will be dependent on funds raised to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. The Company will require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion or respond to competitive pressures, any of these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified the following policies below as critical to its business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Key estimates in the accompanying financial statements include, among others, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

 

The financial statements are presented on the basis of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Other than continued current involvement, some transactions prior to December 31, 2015 have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the financial statements included in this Registration Statement.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Cash on-hand at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $30,424 and $51,711, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes sales, which include shipping fees where applicable, net of estimated returns, at the time the customer takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When the Company collects payments from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amounts received are generally recorded as deferred sales, included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, until the sale or service is completed. The Company reserves for estimated sales returns based on historical trends in merchandise returns, net of the estimated net realizable value of merchandise inventories to be returned and any estimated disposition costs. Amounts collected from members, which under common trade practices are referred to as sales taxes, are recorded on a net basis.

 

Software Development Costs – The Company capitalizes certain expenditures to the development of its software application. Capitalization begins when technological feasibility is established. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the developed product.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature - The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with the guidelines established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No 98-5 To Certain Convertible Instruments. The Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued and records the estimated fair value of any warrants issued with those convertible notes. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.

 

The BCF of a convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note’s proceeds to the warrants, if applicable, and as a discount on the carrying amount of the convertible note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are credited to additional paid-in-capital. The value of the proceeds received from a convertible note is then allocated between the conversion features and warrants and the debt on an allocated fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount (premium) from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We implemented all new accounting standards that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements. We do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operation

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

 

Plan of Operation and Funding

 

During the next twelve months, we anticipate that our principal sources of liquidity will consist of any, or all, of the following: 1) proceeds from sales of our common stock, 2) revenue generated from our operations, and 3) additional debt borrowings. While we are presently generating revenue and we anticipate our revenue will continue to increase, we are currently operating at a loss.

 

On a long-term basis, our ability to ultimately achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully continue to develop our products and our ability to generate revenues.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the 1934 Act as of September 30, 2017. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and that such information is communicated to management and the Company’s board of directors to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on this evaluation, it has been concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of September 30, 2017 since the following material weaknesses exist:

 

  Since inception our chief executive officer also functions as our chief financial officer. As a result, our officers may not be able to identify errors and irregularities in the financial statements and reports.

 

  We were unable to maintain full segregation of duties within our financial operations due to our reliance on limited personnel in the finance function. While this control deficiency did not result in any material adjustments to our financial statements, it could have resulted in a material misstatement that might have been prevented or detected by a segregation of duties.

 

  Documentation of all proper accounting procedures is not yet complete.

 

25
 

 

To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, as financial resources become available we intend to take measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

  Increasing the capacity of our qualified financial personnel to ensure that accounting policies and procedures are consistent across the organization and that we have adequate control over financial statement disclosures.

 

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 September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
