AMERICAN CANNABIS COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

FORMERLY BRAZIL INTERACTIVE MEDIA, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 AND 2014
(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Description of the Business

 

American Cannabis Company, Inc. and its subsidiary company, Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc., doing business as American Cannabis Consulting (“American Cannabis Consulting”), (collectively “the “Company”) are based in Denver, Colorado and operate a fully-integrated business model that features end-to-end solutions for businesses operating in the regulated cannabis industry in states and countries where cannabis is regulated and/or has been de-criminalized for medical use and/or legalized for recreational use. The Company provides advisory and consulting services specific to this industry, designs industry-specific products and facilities, and manages a strategic group partnership that offers both exclusive and non-exclusive customer products commonly used in the industry. American Cannabis Company, Inc. is a publicly listed company quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “AMMJ”.

 

American Cannabis Company, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 24, 2001 under the name Naturewell, Inc. to develop and market clinical diagnostic products using immunology and molecular biologic technologies.

 

On March 13, 2013, Naturewell, Inc. completed a merger transaction whereby it acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. (“BIMI”), which operated as a Brazilian interactive television company and television production company through its wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary company EsoTV Brasil Promoção Publicidade Licenciamento e Comércio Ltda. (“EsoTV”). Naturewell’s Articles of Incorporation were amended to reflect a new name: Brazil Interactive Media, Inc.

 

On May 15, 2014, BIMI entered into a merger agreement (“the Merger Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding American Cannabis Consulting while simultaneously disposing of 100% of the issued share capital EsoTV (“the Separation Agreement”). Both the merger with American Cannabis Consulting and disposal of EsoTV were completed on September 29, 2014. BIMI subsequently amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to American Cannabis Company, Inc. On October 10, 2014, American Cannabis Company, Inc changed its stock symbol from BIMI to AMMJ.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and Separation Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of such agreements, which are filed as exhibits to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 3, 2014.

 

Immediately following the completion of the Merger Agreement, former shareholders of American Cannabis Consulting owned 31,710,628 shares of American Cannabis Company, Inc.’s common stock representing 78.44% of American Cannabis Company, Inc.’s issued and outstanding share capital. Accordingly, American Cannabis Consulting was deemed to have been the accounting acquirer in a Reverse Merger which resulted in a recapitalization of the Company. Consequently, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the results of American Cannabis Consulting since Inception (March 5, 2013) and of American Cannabis Company, Inc. (formerly BIMI) since September 29, 2014.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on December 31. Certain balance sheet reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to reflect the current period’s presentation format; such reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows and had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

Use of Estimates in Financial Reporting

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are deemed to be necessary. Significant estimates made in the accompanying financial statements include but are not limited to following: those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts and unbilled services, lives and recoverability of equipment and other long-lived assets, contingencies and litigation. The Company is subject to uncertainties, such as the impact of future events, economic, environmental and political factors, and changes in the business climate; therefore, actual results may differ from those estimates. When no estimate in a given range is deemed to be better than any other when estimating contingent liabilities, the low end of the range is accrued. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company's operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring entries necessary for a fair statement of the periods presented for: (a) the financial position; (b) the result of operations; and (c) cash flows, have been made in order to make the financial statements presented not misleading. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operations for a full year.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in operating accounts at a major financial institution.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the net value of face amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable periodically based on specific identification of any accounts receivable for which the Company deems the net realizable value to be less than the gross amount of accounts receivable recorded; in these cases, an allowance for doubtful accounts is established for those balances. In determining its need for an allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers historical experience, analysis of past due amounts, client creditworthiness and any other relevant available information. However, the Company’s actual experience may vary from its estimates. If the financial condition of its clients were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability or unwillingness to pay the Company’s fees, it may need to record additional allowances or write-offs in future periods. This risk is mitigated to the extent that the Company receives retainers from its clients prior to performing significant services.

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, is recorded as a reduction in revenue to the extent the provision relates to fee adjustments and other discretionary pricing adjustments. To the extent the provision relates to a client's inability to make required payments on accounts receivables, the provision is recorded in operating expenses. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $4,497 and $9,338 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company did not record bad debt expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 or during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Deposits

Deposits is comprised of advance payments made to third parties, primarily for inventory for which the Company has not yet taken title. When the Company takes title to inventory for which deposits are made, the related amount is classified as inventory, then recognized as a cost of revenues upon sale (see “Costs of Revenues” below).

 

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of products and equipment owned by the Company to be sold to end-customers. Inventory is valued at cost, based on the specific identification method, unless and until the market value for the inventory is lower than cost, in which case an allowance is established to reduce the valuation to market value. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, market values of all of the Company’s inventory were greater than cost, and accordingly, no such valuation allowances were recognized.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily comprised of advance payments made to third parties for independent contractors’ services or other general expenses. Prepaid services and general expenses are amortized over the applicable periods which approximate the life of the contract or service period.

 

Significant Clients and Customers

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, two customers individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues; these customers accounted for approximately 63% of the Company’s total revenues for the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, three customers individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues; these customers accounted for approximately 70% of the Company’s total revenues for the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, three customers individually accounted for 10% or more and 65% in aggregate of the Company’s total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, three customers individually accounted for 10% or more and 66% in aggregate of the Company’s total revenues. 

 

As of June 30, 2015, four customers accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable balance; these customers accounted for approximately 86% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at that date. As of December 31, 2014, three customers accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable balance; these customers accounted for approximately 88% of the Company’s gross accounts receivable balance at that date.

 

Property and Equipment, net

Property and Equipment is stated at net book value, cost less depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of owned equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from two to seven years. Costs associated with in-progress construction are capitalized as incurred and depreciation is consummated once the underlying asset is placed into service. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment as discussed below under “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.” The Company did not capitalize any interest as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

 

Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to forecasted undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value, less cost to sell. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or management's estimates, depending upon the nature of the assets. The Company had not recorded any impairment charges related to long-lived assets as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”).  A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ACF”) Topic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options. In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense, over the life of the debt using the effective interest method. 

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the related services are rendered or delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company generates revenues from professional services consulting agreements. These arrangements are generally entered into on a time basis, for a fixed-fee or on a contingent fee basis. Generally, a prepayment or retainer is required prior to performing services.

 

Revenues from time-based engagements are recognized as the hours are incurred by the Company.

 

Revenues from fixed-fee engagements are recognized under the completed or proportional performance methods. Management reviews arrangement to determine whether or not the fixed-fee is for a final deliverable or act which is significant to the arrangement as a whole. If it is, revenue is recognized under the completed performance method, in which revenue is recognized once the final act or deliverable is performed or delivered. Revenue recognized under the proportional performance method is recognized as services are performed. Under this method, the Company estimates the amount of completed work in comparison to the total services to be provided under the arrangement or deliverable in order to determine the amount of revenue to be recognized. Revenue recognition is affected by a number of factors that change the estimated amount of work required to complete the deliverable, such as changes in scope, timing, awaiting notification of license award from local government, and the level of client involvement. Losses, if any, on fixed-fee engagements are recognized in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably estimable. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, no such losses have occurred. The Company believes if an engagement terminates prior to completion it can recover the costs incurred related to the services provided.

 

The Company has some arrangements for which revenues are contingent upon achieving a pre-determined deliverable or future outcome. Any contingent revenue for these arrangements is not recognized until the contingency is resolved and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company’s arrangements with clients may include terms to deliver multiple services or deliverables. These contracts specifically identify the services to be provided with the corresponding deliverable. The value for each deliverable is determined based on the prices charged when each element is sold separately or by other vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). Revenues are recognized in accordance with our accounting policies for the elements as described above. The elements qualify for separation when the deliverables have value on a stand-alone basis and the value of the separate elements can be established by VSOE or an estimated selling price. While assigning values and identifying separate elements requires judgment, generally selling prices of the separate elements are readily identifiable as the Company also sells those elements individually outside of a multiple services engagement. Contracts with multiple elements are typically fixed-fee or on time basis. Arrangements are typically terminable by either party upon sufficient notice and do not include provisions for refunds relating to services provided.

 

Differences between the timing of billings and the recognition of revenue are recognized as either unbilled services or deferred revenue in the accompanying balance sheet. Revenues recognized for services performed, but not yet billed to clients are recorded as unbilled services.

 

Reimbursable expenses, including those relating to travel, other out-of-pocket expenses and any third-party costs, are included as a component of revenues. Typically, an equivalent amount of reimbursable expenses are included in total direct client service costs. Reimbursable expenses related to time and materials and fixed-fee engagements are recognized as revenue in the period in which the expense is incurred and collectability is reasonably assured. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented in the statement of operations on a net basis.

 

Revenue from product and equipment sales, including delivery fees, is recognized when an order has been obtained, the price is fixed and determinable, the product is shipped, title has transferred and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, our suppliers’ drop-ship orders to our clients with origin terms. For any shipments with destination terms, the Company defers revenue until delivery to the customer. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, sales returns were not significant and as such, no sales return allowance had been recorded as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

Costs of Revenues

The Company’s policy is to recognize costs of revenue in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition. Cost of revenue includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and includes compensation and fees for services, travel and other expenses for services and costs of products and equipment. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Advertising and Promotion Costs

Advertising and promotion costs are included as a component of selling and marketing expense and are expensed as incurred. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, these costs were $25,727 and $31,218, respectively. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, these costs were $8,253 and $8,323, respectively.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

For product and equipment sales, shipping and handling costs are included as a component of cost of revenues.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted shares are awarded to employees and entitle the grantee to receive shares of common stock at the end of the established vesting period. The fair value of the grant is based on the stock price on the date of grant. The Company recognizes related compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the award. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, stock-based compensation expense for restricted shares was $37,123 and $80,394, respectively, while no such costs were incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. Compensation expense for warrants and options is based on the fair value of the instruments on the grant date, which is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there was no compensation expense for warrants or stock options. Compensation expense for common shares of stock is based on an assessment of fair value as of the grant date and is recognized over the vesting period, or if the common shares immediately vest, is recognized in full upon the grant.

 

Income Taxes

The Company’s corporate status changed from an S-Corporation, which it had been since inception, to a C-Corporation during the year ended December 31, 2014. As provided in Section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code, for income tax purposes, S-Corporations are not subject to corporate income taxes; instead, the owners are taxed on their proportionate share of the S-Corporation’s taxable income. Accordingly, we were not subject to income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2014. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  For the three and six months June 30, 2015, due to cumulative losses since our corporate status changed, we recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset that reduced our income tax benefit for the period to zero. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes and the carrying value of our deferred tax asset was zero.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company reports net income (loss) per common share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to any dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. The computation does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.

Note 13. Stock-based Compensation

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a total of $37,123 and $80,394 of stock-based compensation expense to employees, which was the result of the following activity:

 

Restricted Shares

 

From time to time, the Company grants certain employees restricted shares of its common stock to provide further compensation in-lieu of wages and to align the employee’s interests with the interests of its stockholders. Because vesting is based on continued employment, these equity-based incentives are also intended to attract, retain and motivate personnel upon whose judgment, initiative and effort the Company’s success is largely dependent. There were 202,500 restricted shares granted as of June 30, 2015. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the quoted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted share award activity during the six months ended June 30, 2015:

 

								Weighted Average
				Restricted Shares				Grant Date
				Common Stock				Fair Value
	Outstanding unvested at December 31, 2014				150,000			$	0.94
	Granted				167,481				0.36
	Vested restricted shares				(114,981	)			0.21
	Forfeited				(50,000	)			0.91
	Outstanding unvested at June 30, 2015				152,500			$	0.87

 

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company granted 114,981 and 167,481 restricted shares. Total stock-based compensation expense for restricted shares was $37,123 and $80,394 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company had no stock-based compensation activity during or preceding the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding unvested restricted shares as of June 30, 2015 is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.4 years, as follows:

				Future Stock-Based
				Compensation Expense
				(Restricted Shares)
	2015			$	34,768
	2016			$	632
	Thereafter				—
	Total			$	35,400

 

As of June 30, 2015, fully-vested warrants issued to the Company’s independent board member to purchase up to two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) shares of common stock at an exercise price of sixty-three cents ($0.63) per share were outstanding, exercisable within five (5) years of the date of issuance on November 19, 2014. The grant date fair value of the warrants, as calculated based on the Black-Scholes valuation model, was $0.59 per share. There were no outstanding unvested warrants or new issuances of warrants during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015; consequently, no stock-based compensation expense associated with warrants was recorded during the three or six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, as the exercise price per share exceeded the price per share of our common shares, there was no aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding warrants. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the warrants had 4.4 and 4.9 years remaining until expiration, respectively. No warrants were issued or outstanding during or preceding the three months ended June 30, 2014.

  

Stock Options

 

In addition to the warrants as described above, the Company’s independent board member shall be eligible to receive options for 400,000 shares of common stock under the Company’s incentive plan, as and when duly approved by the Board of Directors. As these stock options were not granted as of June 30, 2015, no expense in relation to these options was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

Stock Issuable in Compensation for Professional Services

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact, including without limitation, statements containing the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates” and similar words, constitute forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. From time to time we may make other forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements are subject to an inherent risk that actual results may materially differ as a result of many factors, including the risks discussed from time to time in this report, including the risks described under “Risk Factors” in any filings we have made with

the SEC.

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to useful lives of real estate assets, cost reimbursement income, bad debts, impairment, net lease intangibles, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

 

Background

 

American Cannabis Company, Inc. and its subsidiary company, Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc., doing business as American Cannabis Consulting (“American Cannabis Consulting”), (collectively “the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) are based in Denver, Colorado and operate a fully-integrated business model that features end-to-end solutions for businesses operating in the regulated cannabis industry in states and countries where cannabis is regulated and/or has been de-criminalized for medical use and/or legalized for recreational use. We provide advisory and consulting services specific to this industry, design industry-specific products and facilities, and manage a strategic group partnership that offers both exclusive and non-exclusive customer products commonly used in the industry. We are a publicly listed company quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “AMMJ”.

 

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 24, 2001 under the name Naturewell, Inc. to develop and market clinical diagnostic products using immunology and molecular biologic technologies.

 

On March 13, 2013, Naturewell, Inc. completed a merger transaction whereby it acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Brazil Interactive Media, Inc. (“BIMI”), which operated as a Brazilian interactive television company and television production company through its wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary company, EsoTV Brasil Promoção Publicidade Licenciamento e Comércio Ltda. (“EsoTV”). Naturewell’s Articles of Incorporation were amended to reflect a new name: Brazil Interactive Media, Inc.

 

On May 15, 2014, BIMI entered into a merger agreement (“the Merger Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding American Cannabis Consulting while simultaneously disposing of 100% of the issued share capital EsoTV (“the Separation Agreement”). Both the merger with American Cannabis Consulting and disposal of EsoTV were completed on September 29, 2014. BIMI subsequently amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to American Cannabis Company, Inc. On October 10, 2014, American Cannabis Company, Inc. changed its stock symbol from BIMI to AMMJ.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and Separation Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of such agreements, which are filed as exhibits to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 3, 2014.

 

Immediately following the completion of the Merger Agreement, former shareholders of American Cannabis Consulting owned 31,710,628 shares of American Cannabis Company, Inc.’s common stock representing 78.4% of American Cannabis Company, Inc.’s issued and outstanding share capital. Accordingly, American Cannabis Consulting was deemed to have been the accounting acquirer in a Reverse Merger which resulted in a recapitalization of the Company. Consequently, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the results of American Cannabis Consulting since Inception (March 5, 2013) and of American Cannabis Company, Inc. (formerly BIMI) since September 29, 2014.

Revenues 

Total revenues were $468,745 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $105,730 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $363,015. This increase was primarily due to the further establishment of our products and equipment offerings and growth in our client base and volume of operations as our business has matured following commencement of business operations in April 2013. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, consulting services revenue was $268,488, or 57.3% of total revenue, compared to $103,540, or 97.9% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, products and equipment revenue was $200,257, or 42.7% of total revenues, compared to $2,190, or 2.1% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This increase was primarily driven by sales of our child-proof exit packaging solution, The Satchel ™, which we introduced subsequent to the three months ended June 30, 2014, as well as higher sales of our other product and equipment offerings.

 

Costs of Revenues 

Costs of revenues primarily consist of labor, travel, and other costs directly attributable to providing services or products. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, our total costs of revenues were $291,869, or 62.3% of total revenues. This compares to total costs of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of $57,456, or 54.3% of total revenues. The increase in costs of revenues of $234,413 was primarily due to the increase in sales volume discussed above and internal infrastructure development.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, consulting-related costs were $115,522, or 43.0% of consulting-related revenue, as compared to $55,464, or 53.6% of consulting-related revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in total dollars of $60,058 is a result of higher consulting sales volume during the period, while the decrease as a percentage of consulting-related revenue reflects margin improvements achieved during the period. Costs associated with products and equipment were $176,347, or 88.1% of total products and equipment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $1,992, or 91.0% of total products and equipment revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as our products and equipment line of business was not fully developed during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Gross Profit

Total gross profit was $176,876 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, comprised of consulting services gross profit of $152,966 and products and equipment gross profit of $23,910. This compares to total gross profit of $48,274 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, comprised of consulting services gross profit of $48,076 and products and equipment gross profit of $198. These increases of $104,890 for consulting services gross profit and $23,712 for products and equipment gross profit were primarily due to growth in our client base and volume of operations and further establishment of our products and equipment offerings. As a percentage of total revenues, gross profit was 37.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 45.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to product and equipment sales making up a higher proportion of sales during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, as margins are lower for this line of business than for consulting services.

 

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $284,424, or 60.7% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $103,959, or 98.3% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to increased headcount to meet the increasing demand and address selling, marketing and research and development functions, as well as higher operating expenses associated with becoming an SEC registrant. Professional fees, which include legal, auditing and accounting expenses, were $91,411 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $49,833 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Note: On May 2, 2014, prior to the Reverse Merger, the Company granted 2,000 total shares of its then Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc. common shares to three employees for $200. Because this transaction occurred after the signature of a letter of intent and shortly prior to the announcement of the Reverse Merger on May 15, 2014, the Company based its determination of the fair value of this grant on the 3,171.0628 to 1 share exchange that the Reverse Merger would effect. Accordingly, the Company recorded stock-based compensation for the three grants of $3,132,874 in the fourth quarter of 2014. The Company changed its assessment of fair value associated with this grant during the fourth quarter of 2014; during the second quarter of 2014, the grant was recorded based on the price charged to the employee, which in turn was based on an estimate of the fair value of common shares of Hollister & Blacksmith, Inc. without considering the impact of the Reverse Merger.

 

Other Income (Expense) 

Other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was income of $63,934, comprised of a gain on debt extinguishment related to the settlement of accumulated legal fees of $72,771 and net interest expense of $8,837. Net interest expense was primarily comprised of non-cash interest expense on convertible notes payable discount amortization during the period. Other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $218 of net interest expense related to the short-term note payable we held during that period.

 

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Although our tax status changed from a non-taxable pass-through entity (S-Corporation) to a taxable entity (C-Corporation) during the year ended December 31, 2014, due to cumulative losses since we became a C-Corporation, we recorded a valuation allowance against our related deferred tax asset which netted our deferred tax asset and benefit for income taxes to zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. We were an S-Corporation throughout the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes was applicable.

 

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of the factors discussed above, net income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was net loss of $43,614, or 9.3% of total revenues for the period, as compared to a net loss of $55,903, or 52.9% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2015, our primary internal sources of liquidity were our current balances of cash and cash equivalents of $227,513 and accounts receivable of $102,484. Our primary cash needs are funding working capital requirements and capital expenditures. Cash and cash equivalents in excess of our needs are held in interest bearing accounts with financial institutions. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of non-cash expenses, the Company’s operating cash flows were a use of $175,368 despite a net loss of $270,452. Additionally, despite a history of net operating losses and negative operating cash flow, considering that our fixed overhead costs are low, we have the ability to issue stock to compensate employees and management, and the level of future revenue we expect to generate from executed client contracts, we believe our liquidity and capital resources to be adequate to fund our operational and general and administrative expenses for at least the next 12 months without needing to raise additional debt or equity funding. There is no guarantee we will have the ability to raise additional capital as needed through external equity financing transactions if required.

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $175,368, consisting of net loss of $270,452, non-cash adjustments reconciling net income to net cash used in operating activities of $134,186 and a net use of cash of $39,102 from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net non-cash adjustments of $134,186 were due to amortization of the discount on convertible notes payable of $17,704, employee stock-based compensation of $80,394, professional services compensated in shares of common stock of $107,385 and depreciation of $1,474, partially offset by a gain on debt extinguishment related to a negotiated settlement of legal fees of $72,771. Changes in operating assets and liabilities, a net use of cash of $39,102, were the result of a decrease in deferred revenue of $144,115, an increase in accounts receivable of $44,842 on higher sales volume, an increase in inventory of $25,600 primarily related to Satchels, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $5,606 and a decrease in accrued and other current liabilities of $1,511, mostly offset by a decrease in deposits of $102,202 primarily due to the receipt of Satchels during the period and an increase in accounts payable of $80,370.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was $73,998, which consisted of net loss of $90,535, non-cash adjustments reconciling net income to net cash provided by operating activities of $287 (depreciation expense) and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $164,246. Changes in operating assets and liabilities, a source of cash of $164,246, was due to an increase in deferred revenue of $105,533, an increase in accrued and other current liabilities of $51,713, an increase in accounts payable of $46,427 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,250, partially offset by an increase in inventory of $29,198 and an increase in prepaid and other current assets of $11,479.

 

Investing Activities

 

Investing activities were a use of cash of $12,332 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to purchases of property and equipment, primarily reflecting additional spending on our demonstration inventory unit which is classified as construction-in-progress. Investing activities were a use of $1,250 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting purchases of property and equipment.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities of $250,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 reflected the sale of 833,333 shares of common stock to an investor during the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, financing activities were a source of $211,842, as $215,642 was assumed from BIMI in connection with the reverse merger, $200 of proceeds were received from the sale of common stock, and $4,000 was distributed to owners. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2014, proceeds from a short-term note payable of $35,000 was received but fully offset by a use of $35,000 related to settlement of the note.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We use Adjusted EBITA, a non-GAAP metric, to monitor our overall business performance. We define Adjusted EBITA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, stock-based compensation and certain non-recurring expenses, which to date have been limited to costs associated with the Reverse Merger. We believe that such adjustments to arrive at Adjusted EBITA provides us with a more comparable measure for managing our business. We also believe that it is a useful measure for securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of our company.

 

A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITA is provided below.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE & QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Management of the Company is responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that financial information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the timeframes specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, consistent with Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K.

 

In addition, the disclosure controls and procedures must ensure that such financial information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial and other required disclosures.

 

As of March 31, 2015, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other persons carrying out similar functions for the Company. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company concluded that during the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

The Company continues to employ and refine a structure in which critical accounting policies, issues and estimates are identified, and together with other complex areas, are subject to multiple reviews by accounting personnel. In addition, the Company evaluates and assesses its internal controls and procedures regarding its financial reporting, utilizing standards incorporating applicable portions of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s 2009 Guidance for Smaller Public Companies in Auditing Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting as necessary and on an on-going basis.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of the prevention or detection of misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

The Company has no reportable changes to its internal controls over financial reporting for the period covered by this report. 

 

The Company will continually enhance and test its internal controls over financial reporting on a continuing basis. Additionally, the Company’s management, under the control of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, will increase its review of its disclosure controls and procedures on an ongoing basis. Finally, the Company plans to designate, in conjunction with its Chief Financial Officer, individuals responsible for identifying reportable developments and the process for resolving compliance issues related to them. The Company believes these actions will focus necessary attention and resources in its internal accounting functions.
