(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

 

Note 1.     Nature of Operations

 

Company Overview

 

The operations of Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc. (“AVRS” or the “Company”), http://www.avrsys.com, commenced in 1994 with a predecessor entity called NCC, Inc. NCC, Inc. was incorporated on March 15, 1994 in the State of Ohio. NCC, Inc. operated as a software and hardware development company that marketed voice recognition and transcription products for commercial applications.

 

In May 2000, WG Investments, LLC acquired the assets of NCC, Inc. and subsequently changed its name to NCC, LLC. NCC, LLC (also a predecessor to AVRS) continued the operations of NCC, Inc. until approximately December 31, 2001, when shifts in the industry’s markets caused NCC, LLC to suspend its operations.

 

AVRS was incorporated in the State of Colorado on July 7, 2005. In September 2005, the members of NCC, LLC transferred all of their membership interests in NCC, LLC to AVRS in exchange for 93,333,333 shares (post-recapitalization) of AVRS common stock. In December 2005, the Board of Directors approved a 1.5-to-1 stock split issuing 46,666,667 common shares (post-recapitalization), which increased the number of common shares outstanding to 140 million shares (post-capitalization). Following the incorporation of AVRS, the Company initiated a new business plan and intends to continue its operations in the voice recognition and transcription industry.

 

AVRS is a software development company specializing in speech recognition technologies. AVRS has successfully obtained patent protection of its proprietary technology (refer to Note 3, Intangible Assets).   The Company has currently engaged a firm to investigate and assert claims relating to certain patents including negotiating licensing agreements and the filing and prosecution of lawsuits.

 

Stock Purchase Agreements

 

During the year ended December 31, 2018 the Company entered into Stock Purchase Agreements for the private sale to five persons or entities of an aggregate of 23,100,000 shares of the common stock for aggregate proceeds of $113,650, full payment of which was received in the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company entered into Stock Purchase Agreements for the private sale of an aggregate of 1,800,000 shares of the common stock for aggregate proceeds of $9,000, full payment of which was received in the period.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

On April 20, 2015 Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc. (“AVRS”) entered into a Material Letter Agreement with an unrelated third party  (“AIP”) in which they promise to pay to patent legal counsel funds to continue prosecuting Patents on behalf of AVRS.  AVRS promises to pay AIP, or to such other holder of this promissory note (Note) as designate, the principal, together with a premium of ten percent (10%) of Principle and two percent (2%) of proceeds received by Company from a Monetization Event initiated by AIP.  Interest was accrued and reported at March 31, 2019.

 

On August 20, 2015, Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc. (“AVRS”) entered into a letter agreement with unrelated third party (Third Party) pursuant to which the Third Party will provide strategic advisory services to AVRS to support the common goal of the acquisition, sale, licensing, prosecution, enforcement, and settlement with respect to AVRS’s intellectual property, including patents held by AVRS. The Third Party has agreed to advance costs recommended by it, including court filing fees, discovery and other litigation costs, and patent prosecution costs, up to an aggregate of $10,000,000.   AVRS will be responsible for costs not recommended by the Third Party, as well as travel and ordinary business expenses incurred by AVRS.  Except for the advanced costs by the Third Party, AVRS will be responsible for any contingency payments to law firms.  Any and all advanced costs will only become liabilities if successful.  On June 28, 2017 AVRS and the Third Party agreed to terminate the August 20, 2015 Letter Agreement.  AVRS did not incur any material early termination penalties in connection of the early termination of the agreement.

Note 2.     Significant Accounting Policies

 

Unaudited Financial Information

 

The accompanying financial information at March 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2019 and its operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 have been made.  Certain information and footnote data necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is therefore suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2018.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily an indication of operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

 

Going Concern

  

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Liabilities exceed assets and there is a capital deficiency of $224,749 and no significant revenues.  The Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to attain profitability.   During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 the Company received an aggregate of $113,650 from the sale of shares in private offerings of its common stock.  During the three months ended March 31, 2019 the Company received an aggregate of $9,000 from the sale of shares in private offerings of its common stock.

 

The Company’s current operations are related to patent monetization and filing of additional patents.  The Company has entered into a letter agreement with Dominion Harbor Group, LLC to provide strategic advisory services to AVRS.  Dominion has agreed to advanced costs up to an aggregate of $10,000,000. On June 28, 2017 the Company and Dominion agreed to terminate the August 20, 2015 Letter Agreement.  The Company did not incur any material early termination penalties.  In addition the Company has revised the Contingent Fee Agreement with Buether Joe & Carpenter, LLC which will represent AVRS in connection with investigating and asserting claims to the AVRS patents including licensing and litigation activities. Any and all advanced costs will only become liabilities if successful.  On June 6, 2017 AVRS and BJC revised the Contingent Fee Agreement as it related to the termination of the August 20, 2015 Dominion Harbor Letter Agreement.  There is no guarantee that AVRS will be able to provide the capital required for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

 

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of NCC, LLC which merged with and into AVRS, Inc. March 25, 2009. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accounts, results of operations and cash flows of acquired companies are included from their respective acquisition dates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash at March 31, 2019 of $8,861, $17,583 at December 31, 2018 and $8,365 cash at March 31, 2018.  No amounts resulted from cash equivalents.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to five years. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the year of disposal.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the recorded book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future federal income taxes.  The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow.  Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740.  

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred.

 

Patents, Deferred Costs and Amortization

 

Patents consist of costs incurred to acquire issued patents. Amortization commences once a patent is granted. Costs incurred to acquire patents that have not been issued are reported as deferred costs. On April 3, 2018 U.S. Patent #9,934,786 entitled “Speech Recognition and Transcription Among Users Having Heterogeneous Protocols” was issued by the U.S patent and Trademark Office. Deferred costs of $4,575 were capitalized and amortization began in the period.  The Company amortizes its patents over an estimated useful life of twenty years.

 

Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets under the provisions of ASC 360-10 Property, Plant, and Equipment – “Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” subsections” . ASC 306-10 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell.  The Company’s last impairment analysis was completed effective December 31, 2018.  Impairment recorded for each of the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $-0-.

 

Loss per Common Share


9


 

The Company reports net loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic net loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents. At March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no variances between the basic and diluted loss per share as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of cash and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.  We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor do we utilize derivative instruments.

 

The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:

 

 

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2:

Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability.

 

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Note 3.     Intangible and Fixed Assets

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company monitors the anticipated outcome of legal actions, and if it determines that the success of the defense of a patent is probable, and so long as the Company believes that the future economic benefit of the patent will be increased, the Company capitalizes external legal costs incurred in the defense of the patent. Upon successful defense of litigation, the amounts previously capitalized are amortized over the remaining life of the patent.

We completed a stock exchange on May 19, 2008 and changed our business model. We have not generated any revenue since the stock exchange and do not have any cash generating product or licensing sales.

 

At March 31, 2019, we had current assets of $8,861, and current liabilities of $273,324, as compared to $17,583 current assets and $265,367 in current liabilities at December 31, 2018. Our decrease in current assets is attributed to payments made to promissory notes. Our increase in current liabilities primarily is due to accrued interest.

 

We had a net loss of $29,355 and $27,291 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively. The increase in net loss is attributable to increase in professional fees incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we used $20,091 of cash in operating activities and -0- in investing activities, and we received $9,000 cash from sales of our common stock and payments and proceeds from notes payable. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized a $8,722 decrease in cash on hand. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, $13,762 cash was used in operating activities, $980 cash in investing activities, and we received $15,850 cash from the sale of our common stock, resulting in a $1,108 increase in cash on hand for the period.

 

Historically, our President has loaned or advanced to us funds for working capital on an “as needed” basis. There is no assurance that these loans or advances will continue in the future. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we owed our officers an aggregate of $162,382 for accrued payroll.  On September 24, 2018, the Company entered into Promissory Note with Walter Geldenhuys, who is our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and who serves as a member of our Board of Directors.  The Promissory Note is effective as of September 24, 2018 in the principal amount of $9,000 with a maturity date of September 24, 2019.  Interest at 4% per annum was charged and $113 accrued at March 31, 2019.  On February 1, 2019 Walter Geldenhuys advanced the Company $5,000.  Because of our history of losses, and lack of assurance of additional financing, the audit reports on our financial statements at December 31, 2018 and 2017 contained a “going concern” opinion regarding doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

On March 16, 2015 we entered into a letter agreement with Adapt IP Ventures, LLC (Adapt IP) confirming the retention of Adapt IP to assist us in identifying companies that might be interested in acquiring and / or licensing our patents, to attempt to negotiate financial terms and conditions for acquisition and / or licensing and to assist with collection of compensation from such entities.  Adapt IP will receive a success fee of 15% of net compensation received from such entities based upon Adapt IP’s efforts.  We or Adapt IP may terminate the agreement upon 30 days’ notice to the other party.

On April 20, 2015 we made a Promissory Note to Adapt IP for up to $20,000, and Adapt IP agreed to pay to our patent counsel $19,935 for patent work on our behalf.  The Note matures one year from the date of the Note.  We are obligated to repay the funds advanced by Adapt IP plus a premium of 10% of the principal amount and a percentage of proceeds received by us from any monetization event involving the patents.  If we repay the Note within the six months of the date of the Note, the percentage will be 1%, and it will be 2% after six months.  As of March 31, 2019 $8,473 interest has accrued.

 

On August 20, 2015, AVRS entered into a letter agreement with Dominion Harbor Group, LLC pursuant to which Dominion will provide strategic advisory services to AVRS to support the common goal of the acquisition, sale, licensing, prosecution, enforcement, and settlement with respect to AVRS’s intellectual property, including patents held by AVRS. On June 28, 2017 AVRS and Dominion agreed to terminate the August 20, 2015 Letter Agreement.  AVRS did not incur any material early termination penalties in connection of the early termination of the agreement.

 

On November 1, 2016, AVRS entered into a Contingent Fee Agreement with Buether Joe and Carpenter, LLC to represent AVRS in connection with investigating and asserting claims including negotiating license agreements and the filing and prosecution of lawsuits against any potential infringers of the Patent rights. On June 6, 2017 AVRS and Buether Joe and Carpenter, LLC revised the Contingent Fee Agreement as it related to the termination of the August 20, 2015 Dominion Harbor Letter Agreement.

 

On June 21, 2018, Advanced Voice Recognition Systems, Inc. (“ AVRS ”) and Buether Joe & Carpenter, LLC (“BJC) entered into a Letter of Engagement for Legal Services Limited Scope Agreement  (“ Agreement ”) with Schmeiser, Olsen & Watts LLP (“ the Firm ”) pursuant to which the Firm will serve as local counsel in the United States District Court, District of Arizona.   AVRS may terminate the Agreement at any time.

 

In carrying out our business strategy, we will likely continue to incur expenses in defending our patents and pursuing license agreements.  We plan to raise additional funds through future sales of our securities or other means, until such time as our revenues are sufficient to meet our cost structure, and ultimately achieve profitable operations. There is no assurance we will be successful in raising additional capital or achieving profitable operations. Our board of directors may attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations that may consist of restricted shares of our common stock. These actions would result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders and may further dilute our common stock book value.

 

To obtain sufficient funds to meet our future needs for capital, we will from time to time, evaluate opportunities to raise financing through sales of our securities. However, future equity or debt financing may not be available to us at all, or if available, may not be on terms acceptable to us. We do not intend to pay dividends to shareholders in the foreseeable future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.

 

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer, who also is our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) and pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of December 31, 2018. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and is communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer, who also is our chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and were fully effective as of March 31, 2019 in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated  to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
