NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business  

SanSal Wellness Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated as Armeau Brands Inc. in the State of Nevada on March 15, 2011. On October 13, 2017, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State changing the name from “Armeau Brands Inc.” to “SanSal Wellness Holdings, Inc.” The Company’s business objectives are to produce natural rich-hemp products, using strict natural protocols and materials yielding broad spectrum phytocannabinoid rich hemp oils, distillates and isolates. The Company is licensed by the Colorado Department of Agriculture to grow industrial hemp pursuant to Federal law on its farm.

 

Effective September 27, 2017, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding limited liability company membership interests of 271 Lake Davis Holdings LLC dba SanSal Wellness (“271 Lake Davis”) in exchange for 46,800,000 (7,800,000 pre-split) restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, which represented 100% of 271 Lake Davis’s total membership interests outstanding immediately following the closing of the transaction. The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger, whereby 271 Lake Davis is the accounting survivor and the historical financial statements presented are those of 271 Lake Davis.

 

Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of Septemebr 30, 2018, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on April 23, 2018.

 

Reclassifications 

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2017 financial statements to conform to classifications used in 2018.

 

Principles of Consolidation  

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of Sansal Wellness Holdings, Inc. and 271 Lake Davis Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sansal, LLC. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Fair Value Measurement 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the Company’s short and long-term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

 

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash and cash equivalents may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Revenue Recognition  

In May 2014 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry specific guidance. This new standard requires a company to recognize revenues when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to receive for those goods or services. The FASB subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU No. 2014-09 that have the same effective date and transition date: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted these amendments with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the new revenue standards).

 

The new revenue standards became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and were adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the new revenue standards as of January 1, 2018 did not change the Company’s revenue recognition as the majority of its revenues continue to be recognized when the customer takes control of its product. As the Company did not identify any accounting changes that impacted the amount of reported revenues with respect to its product revenues, no adjustment to retained earnings was required upon adoption.

 

Under the new revenue standards, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

 

Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that it would have recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial.

 

Inventories 

Inventories consist of growing and processed plants and oils and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In evaluating whether inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value, management considers such factors as inventories in hand, estimated time to sell such inventories and current market conditions. Write-offs for inventory obsolescence are recorded when, in the opinion of management, the value of specific inventory items has been impaired.

Property, Plant and Equipment 

Purchase of property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements of property, plant and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of property and equipment are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or retired, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations . Depreciation is provided over the estimated economic useful lives of each class of assets and is computed using the straight-line method.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets  

The carrying value of long-lived assets are reviewed when facts and circumstances suggest that the assets may be impaired or that the amortization period may need to be changed. The Company considers internal and external factors relating to each asset, including cash flows, local market developments, industry trends and other publicly available information. If these factors and the projected undiscounted cash flows of the Company over the remaining amortization period indicate that the asset will not be recoverable, the carrying value will be adjusted to the fair market value. The Company has determined that no impairment exists at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

 

Compensation and Benefits 

The Company records compensation and benefits expense for all cash and deferred compensation, benefits, and related taxes as earned by its employees. Compensation and benefits expense also includes compensation earned by temporary employees and contractors who perform similar services to those performed by the Company’s employees.

 

Stock-Based Compensation 

The Company accounts for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. In accordance with ASC 718-10-30-9, “Measurement Objective – Fair Value at Grant Date,” the Company estimates the fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for valuation of the share- based payments. The Company believes this model provides the best estimate of fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as volatility and interest rates, and to allow for actual exercise behavior of option holders.

Stock-Based Compensation (Continued) 

The simplified method is used to determine compensation expense since historical option exercise experience is limited relative to the number of options issued. The compensation cost is recognized ratably using the straight-line method over the expected vesting period.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50. Equity instruments issued to other than employees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments, and is recognized as expense over the service period.

 

Income Taxes 

The Company was a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) for income tax purposes until September 27, 2017 when the transaction referred to in Note 1 discussed in the “Nature of Business” occurred. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the owners were taxed on their proportionate shares of the Company’s taxable income. Accordingly, no liability for federal or state income taxes and no provision for federal or state income taxes have been included in the financial statements up to that date.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes.  Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs.  A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

 

Effective September 27, 2017 the Company became taxed as a C-Corporation. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company has analyzed tax positions taken for filings with the Internal Revenue Service and all tax jurisdictions where it operates. The Company believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Related Party Transactions 

The Company follows FASB ASC subtopic 850-10, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20, related parties include: a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which statements of operation are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which statements of operations are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . The amendments in the ASU require entities that measure inventory using the first-in, first-out or average cost methods to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has adopted ASU 2015-11 and it did not have a material effect on its financial statements.

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This Accounting Standards Update simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by eliminating the requirement for entities to separate deferred tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in classified balance sheets. Instead, it requires deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in the balance sheet. Accounting Standards Update 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company early adopted this standard on a retrospective basis all deferred income tax assets and liabilities have been presented as noncurrent.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to increase transparency and comparability among Companies by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required, as well as a retrospective recognition and measurement of impacted leases. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the standard.

 

Subsequent Events  

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date which the financial statements were available to be issued.

NOTE 8: INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)

 

The Company has approximately $3,000,000 net operating loss carryforwards that are available to reduce future taxable income. Those NOLs begin to expire in 2038. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax assets for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company’s deferred tax liability associated with timing differences related to depreciation and amortization includes $188,000 of liability resulting from tax depreciation deducted in excess of GAAP depreciation prior to the Company becoming taxed as a C-Corporation.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the state of Colorado.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740, A ccounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes . Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. The Company has no significant adjustments as a result of the implementation of FASB ASC 740.

 

NOTE 9: CONCENTRATIONS

 

The Company had two customers in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 accounting for 41% and 12% of total sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, one customer accounted for 74% of sales.

 

The Company had one customer in the three months ended September 30, 2018 accounting for 33% of total sales. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, one customer accounted for 81% of sales.

 

The Company had three customers at September 30, 2018 accounting for 37%, 22%, and 11% or accounts receivable. At December 31, 2017, one customer accounted for 79% of accounts receivable.

 

NOTE 10: GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial losses from operations since its inception. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $5,768,728, and a net loss of $1,677,711. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Continuation as a going concern is dependent on the ability to raise additional capital and financing, though there is no assurance of success.

SanSal Wellness is an entirely vertically-integrated agribusiness focused on producing, marketing, and distributing highest purity full spectrum natural phytocannabinoid-rich industrial hemp products. SanSal Wellness owns and operates a 140-acre farm in Pueblo, Colorado, capable of producing over 200,000 proprietary full spectrum phytocannabinoid-rich hemp plants yielding a potential minimum annual harvest of over 200,000 pounds of outdoor-grown industrial hemp. While part of the cannabis family, industrial hemp, which contains less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (“ THC ”), the psychoactive compound that produces the “ high ” in marijuana, is distinguished from marijuana by its use, physical appearance and lower THC concentration (marijuana generally has a THC level of 10% or more). The Company also operates approximately 15,000 sq. ft. of climate-controlled greenhouses to produce a consistent supply of year-round indoor-cultivated hemp. In addition, there is a 10,000-sq. ft. onsite facility used for processing raw industrial hemp, oil extraction, formulation laboratories, and quality/purity testing. SanSal Wellness is registered with the Colorado Department of Agriculture to grow industrial hemp pursuant to federal law.

 

SanSal Wellness meticulously processes its hemp crop to produce superior quality whole-plant hemp oil, extracts and derivatives which contain the entire broad spectrum of cannabinoids extracted from the flowers and leaves of hemp plants. Whole-plant hemp oil is known to provide the essential phytocannabinoid “ entourage effect ” resulting from the synergistic absorption of the entire broad spectrum of unique hemp cannabinoids by the receptors of the human endocannabinoid system. Most commercially available hemp oil and extracts are not derived from the entire plant and are usually from less desired hemp seed which contain fewer cannabinoids. As a result, SanSal Wellness believes that its products are premier quality cannabinoids and are highly sought after by consumers and manufacturers of premium hemp products.

 

SanSal Wellness has developed a wide variety of formulated phytocannabinoid-rich hemp products which are marketed and distributed by the Company under its Veritas Farms™ and SanSal Wellness brand names. Our products are also available in bulk, white label and private label custom formulations for distributors and retailers. These types of products are in high demand by health food markets, wellness centers, physicians and other healthcare practitioners.

 

SanSal Wellness and Veritas Farms™ products (20+ SKUs) include vegan capsules, gummies, tinctures, lotions, salves, vape oils and oral syringes. All product applications come in various flavors and strength formulations, in addition to bulk. Many of the Company’s whole-plant hemp oil products and formulations are available for purchase online directly from the Company through its Veritas Farms™ website, as well as through numerous other online retailers and “ brick and mortar ” retail outlets.

Corporate Information

 

The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 15, 2011 under the name “ Armeau Brands Inc. ” and changed its name to “ SanSal Wellness Holdings, Inc. ” effective November 7, 2017.

 

Our executive offices are located at 1512 E. Las Olas Blvd., Suite 300, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 and our telephone number is (954) 722-1300. Our corporate website is www.sansalwellness.com . Information appearing on our corporate website is not part of this report.

 

Corporate History

 

The Company’s original business objective following its March 15, 2011 incorporation in Nevada, was to produce and market its own brand of ice wine made from grapes harvested in Armenia. While the Company took numerous steps with respect to implementation of its business plan, including securing sources of production and did, in fact produce 4,500 bottles of ice wine for product sampling and customer marketing purposes, the Company was unable to raise sufficient capital to fully implement its business plan and generate revenues.

 

On June 5, 2017, Mr. Jaitegh Singh purchased a total of 45,000,000 “ restricted ” shares of our Company’s common stock from our then sole officer and director, Cassandra Tavukciyan, for aggregate consideration of $345,000. The share purchase was consummated in a private transaction pursuant to a common stock purchase agreement entered into between Mr. Singh and Ms. Tavukciyan.

 

Concurrent with the share purchase transaction, Cassandra Tavukciyan resigned as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and sole director, and was succeeded in those capacities by Jaitegh Singh. Mr. Singh relocated the Company’s principal offices to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

 

On September 27, 2017 (“ Closing ”), the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “ Exchange Agreement ”) with all the members (the “ Members ”) of 271 Lake Davis Holdings, LLC d/b/a SanSal Wellness (“ 271 ”), pursuant to which it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “ SanSal Acquisition ”). 271, founded in 2015, is a vertically-integrated agribusiness focused on producing full spectrum natural phytocannabinoid-rich industrial hemp extracts.

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we acquired all the outstanding limited liability company interests of 271 in exchange for the issuance to the Members, pro rata , of 46,800,000 “ restricted ” shares of our common stock, whereupon Jaitegh Singh, the holder of the Company’s currently outstanding 45,000,000 “ restricted ” shares of common stock contributed those shares to the capital of the Company for cancellation.

 

At Closing, Alexander M. Salgado and Erduis Sanabria, the members of 271’s management team, were appointed to the Company’s board of directors and as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, respectively. Jaitegh Singh, who was then the Company’s President and sole director, then stepped down from such position, but assumed the position of the Company’s Vice President and Secretary.

 

In addition, at Closing, Members, holding an aggregate of 26,674,500 shares of our common stock, including Messrs. Salgado and Sanabria, entered into a five-year voting agreement, pursuant to which Messrs. Salgado and Erduis have the right to direct the voting of their shares on all matter presented to shareholders for a vote.

 

Following completion of the SanSal Acquisition, the Company determined to focus its business on the business of 271. Accordingly, we applied to FINRA to (a) change our corporate name from “ Armeau Brands Inc. ” to “ SanSal Wellness Holdings, Inc. ” (with a comparable change in our trading symbol from ARUU to SSWH); (b) authorize a class of “ blank check ” preferred stock; and (c) implement a six-for-one forward stock split. The name, trading symbol and authorized capitalization changes became effective as of November 7, 2017 and the stock split was implemented on November 9, 2017.

 

As a result of the completion of the SanSal Acquisition and management’s determination to focus the Company’s future business efforts on the SanSal Wellness business, 271 (SanSal Wellness) is deemed to be the survivor of the SanSal Acquisition for financial statement purposes. Moreover, we changed the Company’s fiscal year-end from January 31 to December 31 to coincide with 271’s fiscal year-end, effective with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Results of Operations

 

Three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to three months ended September 30, 2017

 

Revenues. We had net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2018 of $459,329 as compared to $255,444 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, giving effect to the ramp up of commercial production and sale of SanSal Wellness’ and Veritas Farms’ hemp extract products and additional marketing and sales efforts in the 2018 quarter from the 2017 quarter. Sales include bulk oils for wholesale, vegan capsules, tinctures, lotions, salves, vape oils, and oral syringes, all in various potency levels and flavors. We co-package in addition to marketing our own product lines. The majority of sales come from two customers, which may pose a business risk.

 

Cost of Sales: All expenses incurred to grow, process, and package the finished goods are included in our cost of sales. Cost of sales increased slightly to $372,142 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, from $114,493 for the comparable quarter in 2017, as a result of increased sales in the 2018 quarter and new packaging expenses associated with the Veritas Farms Brand. We had gross profit of $87,187 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to gross profit of $114,493 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $1,071,460 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, from $255,218 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting the expansion of operations as a result of the increased availability of capital during the 2018 quarter. The Veritas Farms Brand and creation of online sales presence accounted for much of the increase in expense. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of administrative personnel costs, facilities expenses, and professional fee expenses.

 

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $12,009, $8,802 of which was attributable to loans from a principal shareholder, as compared to $11,892 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, $6,092 of which was attributable to loans from a principal shareholder.

 

As a result of the increase in operating, marketing and public company expenses incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2018, net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018, increased to $(996,282) or $(0.01) per share based on 91,692,402 weighted average shares outstanding, from $(413,367) or $(0.01) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2017, based on 58,567,253 weighted average shares outstanding.

 

Nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2017

 

Revenues. We had net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $1,277,914, as compared to $755,749 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, giving effect to the ramp up of commercial production and sale of newly branded Veritas Farms hemp extract products and additional marketing efforts in the 2018 period from the 2017 period. Sales include bulk oils for wholesale, vegan capsules, tinctures, lotions, salves, vape oils, and oral syringes, all in various potency levels and flavors. We co-package in addition to marketing our own product lines. The majority of sales come from two customers, which may pose a business risk.

 

Cost of Sales: All expenses incurred to grow, process, and package the finished goods are included in our cost of sales. Cost of sales increased to $887,840 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $570,248 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as a result of increased sales in the 2018 period, offset by lower raw material costs as a result of fewer plant losses due to adverse weather and unnatural conditions in the 2018 period, as compared to the large plant losses resulting from adverse weather conditions and unnatural circumstances incurred in the 2017 period. As a result, we had gross profit of $390,074 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to gross profit of $185,501 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $2,041,773 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $867,717 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting the expansion of operations as a result of the increased availability of capital during the 2018 period. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of administrative personnel costs, facilities expenses, and professional fee expenses. Professional fee expenses and a large marketing campaign towards Veritas Farms and an online presence comprise much of this increase.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $26,012, $16,248 of which was attributable to loans from a principal shareholder, as compared to $30,753 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $9,716 of which was attributable to loans from a principal shareholder.

 

Merger expenses relating to the reverse merger of $260,750 were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $0 in the 2018 period.

 

As a result of the increase in operating and other expenses incurred nine the three months ended September 30, 2018, offset partially by higher gross profit, net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, decreased to $(1,677,711) or $(0.02) per share based on 70,348,222 weighted average shares outstanding from $(973,719) or $(0.02) per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, based on 58,522,500 weighted average shares outstanding.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2018, total assets were $6,368,125, as compared to $5,210,740 at December 31, 2017. Assets increased due to a small increase in fixed assets, build out of inventory for a custom order and an increase in prepaid insurance.

 

Total current liabilities as of September 30, 2018 were $1,760,008, as compared to $2,002,487 at December 31, 2017, decreasing in the period due to payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,215,463 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $1,327,622 for the same period in 2017. The results of operations in addition to decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses comprise most of the change.

 

Net cash used in investing activities declined to $292,212 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $373,887 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting a decrease in cash used for the purchase of property and equipment from the 2017 period to the 2018 period.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,936,769 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily attributable to the proceeds from a private offering of our equity securities, as compared to $1,701,173 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Our primary sources of capital to develop and implement our business plan have been the proceeds from private offerings of our equity securities, capital contributions made by Members prior to completion of the SanSal Acquisition and loans from shareholders, including Erduis Sanabria, our Executive Vice President and a director. The shareholder loans are evidenced by promissory notes issued to the lending shareholders, which accrue interest rates between 2% and 3% per annum and are payable, together with the principal amount of the Shareholder Notes at maturity, which are currently at dates through January 1, 2019.

 

In June and July 2018, the Company effected a private offering (the “ Private Offering ”) of 29,250,000 Units (“ Units ”), at a price of $0.10 per Unit or total gross proceeds of $2,950,000. In addition, a $175,000 ninety (90) day convertible budge promissory note issued by the Company in May 2018 to a single accredited investor in a private transaction, converted in accordance with its terms into 2,191,096 Units at the first closing of the Private Offering.

 

Each Unit consists of (a) one share of the Company’s common stock (“ Shares ”); and (b) one five-year common stock purchase warrant (“ Warrants ”). The Warrants entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $0.15 during the five (5) year period following the closing of the Subscriber’s investment. The exercise price and number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will be subject to anti-dilution adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar recapitalization events.

 

22  

 

 

Notwithstanding consummation of the Private Offering, the Company believes that it will require additional financing to achieve profitability. The Company has initially sought additional financing through soliciting the exercise of the Warrants issued in the Private Offering. As of October 31, 2018, 4,825,000 of the Warrants have been exercised, resulting in proceeds to the Company, net of warrant solicitation fees of $36,188, of $687,562.

 

The Company anticipates that additional financing, when required will be generated from subsequent public or private offerings of its equity and/or debt securities. The Company does not intend to accept any further loans from shareholders. Further, our independent auditors report for the year ended December 31, 2017 includes an explanatory paragraph strategy that our lack of revenues and working capital raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. While we believe additional financing will be available to us as needed, there can be no assurance that equity financing will be available on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise, when needed. Moreover, any such additional financing may dilute the interests of existing shareholders. The absence of additional financing, when needed, could substantially harm the Company, its business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry specific guidance. This new standard requires a company to recognize revenues when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to receive for those goods or services. The FASB subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU No. 2014-09 that have the same effective date and transition date: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted these amendments with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the new revenue standards). 

 

The new revenue standards became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and were adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the new revenue standards as of January 1, 2018 did not change the Company’s revenue recognition as the majority of its revenues continue to be recognized when the customer takes control of its product. As the Company did not identify any accounting changes that impacted the amount of reported revenues with respect to its product revenues, no adjustment to retained earnings was required upon adoption.

 

Under the new revenue standards, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation. 

 

Revenues from product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that it would have recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial. 

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Purchase of property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  Improvements and replacements of property, plant and equipment are capitalized.  Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of property and equipment are charged to expense as incurred.  When assets are sold or retired, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported in the  Statements of Operations . Depreciation is provided over the estimated economic useful lives of each class of assets and is computed using the straight-line method

 

23  

 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets 

 

The carrying value of long-lived assets are reviewed when facts and circumstances suggest that the assets may be impaired or that the amortization period may need to be changed. The Company considers internal and external factors relating to each asset, including cash flows, local market developments, industry trends and other publicly available information. If these factors and the projected undiscounted cash flows of the Company over the remaining amortization period indicate that the asset will not be recoverable, the carrying value will be adjusted to the fair market value.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates included deferred revenue, costs incurred related to deferred revenue, the useful lives of property and equipment and the useful lives of intangible assets.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company was a limited liability company for income tax purposes until September 27, 2017, when the transaction discussed in “ Nature of Business ” under Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report, occurred.  In lieu of corporate income taxes, the owners were taxed on their proportionate shares of the Company’s taxable income.  Accordingly, no liability for federal or state income taxes and no provision for federal or state income taxes have been included in the financial statements up to that date.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes.  Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs.  A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. 

 

Effective September 27, 2017, the Company became taxed as a C-Corporation. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.  The Company has analyzed tax positions taken for filings with the Internal Revenue Service and all tax jurisdictions where it operates.  The Company believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

There are no 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 is material to investors.

As a “ smaller reporting company, ” we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive, financial and accounting officer), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “ Exchange Act ”), as amended, as of September 30, 2018, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”), including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive, financial and accounting officer), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive, financial and accounting officer) has concluded that as of September 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level in that:

 

(a) We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive, financial and accounting officer) evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

(b) We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive, financial and accounting officer) evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

To address these material weaknesses, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive, financial and accounting officer) performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the consolidated financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented

 

25  

 

 

Our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive, financial and accounting officer) does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officer has determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
