FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This report
contains forward-looking statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) encourages companies to disclose
forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment
decisions. This report and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements
that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We
have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “project”, “believe”,
“anticipate”, “plan”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “should”,
“would”, “could”, or “may”, or other such words, verbs in the future tense and words and phrases
that convey similar meaning and uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward–looking statements. There
are a number of important factors beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated
by these forward–looking statements. While we make these forward–looking statements based on various factors and using
numerous assumptions, you have no assurance the factors and assumptions will prove to be materially accurate when the events they
anticipate actually occur in the future. Factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to
differ materially are discussed in greater detail under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this annual report on Form 10-K.
The forward–looking
statements are based upon our beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time we make these statements. We caution
you not to place undue reliance on our forward–looking statements as (i) these statements are neither predictions nor guaranties
of future events or circumstances, and (ii) the assumptions, beliefs, expectations, forecasts and projections about future events
may differ materially from actual results. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward–looking statement to
reflect developments occurring after the date of this report.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Company Overview
InnerScope
Hearing Technologies, Inc. (“InnerScope” or the “Company”) is a Nevada Corporation incorporated June 15,
2012, with its principal place of business in Roseville, California.
On June 20, 2012, InnerScope acquired
InnerScope Advertising Agency, LLC (“ILLC”), a commonly owned entity, to provide advertising/marketing services
to the hearing device industry in accordance with an Acquisition and Plan of Share Exchange with ILLC.
On
November 1, 2013, InnerScope acquired Intela-Hear, LLC (“Intela-Hear”), a commonly owned entity, with an Acquisition and Plan of Share Exchange with Intela-Hear.
On August 25, 2017, the
Company changed its name to InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc.
to better reflect
the Company’s current direction as a technology driven company with a scalable business to business (B2B) solution
and business to consumer (and B2C) solution. Recently, the Company began offering its own line of FDA (Food and
Drug Administration)
registered
Hearing Aids and its
“Hearable”,
and “Wearable” Personal Sound Amplifier Products (PSAPs).
On
July 5, 2018, the Company signed a supplier agreement as a direct shipped vendor ("DSV") for Walmart.com. The
Company has been accepted as a Walmart.com USA, LLC (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.) supplier and will
sell its FDA-Registered Hearing Aids and its PSAP to Walmart.com as the retailer for their Direct-To-Consumer online
retail sale.
InnerScope
is a technology driven company with scalable Business to Business (“BTB”) and Business to Consumer (“BTC”)
solutions. The Company offers a BTB SaaS based Patient Management System (PMS) software program, designed to improve operations
and communication with patients. InnerScope also offers a Buying Group experience for audiology practice, enabling owners to lower
product costs and increase their margins. The Company will compete in the DTC (Direct-to-Consumer) markets with its own line of
“Hearables”, and “Wearables”, including APPs on the iOS and Android markets. The company also has opened
5 retail hearing device clinics and
plans on
using management’s
unique and successful talents on acquiring and opening additional audiological brick and mortar clinics to be owned and operated
by the company.
On September
10, 2018, the Company acquired all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Kathy L Amos Audiology (“Amos Audiology”)
in exchange for 340,352 shares of common stock (the “Acquisition”). Amos Audiology
provides
retail hearing aid sales and audiological services in the East Bay area of San Francisco.
We are dedicated
to serving the retail hearing aid dispensing community and developing a program to contribute to various hearing aid focused charities.
InnerScope is an
"emerging growth company" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For as long as we are an emerging growth
company, we will not be required to comply with the requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging
growth companies" including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports
and proxy statements and the exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation
and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these reporting
exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company.
InnerScope
will continue to be an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which
we had total annual gross revenues of at least $1 billion (as indexed for inflation), (2) the last day of the fiscal year following
the fifth anniversary of the date of our initial public offering, (3) the date on which we have,
during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt and (4) the date on which we are deemed
to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which we refer
to as the “Exchange Act”).
InnerScope also
qualifies as a “smaller reporting company” under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which
is defined as a company with a public equity float of less than $75 million. To the extent that we remain a smaller reporting
company at such time as we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will still have reduced disclosure requirements for our
public filings some of which are similar to those of an emerging growth company including not being required to comply with the
auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive
compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.
Our authorized
capital stock currently consists of 490,000,000 shares of common stock, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our common stock
is listed on The OTCQB under the symbol “INND.”
Our principal
corporate headquarters are located at 2151 Professional Drive, Second Floor, Roseville, CA. 95661. Our telephone number is (916) 218-4100.
Our website address is www.innd.com. (The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not a
part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.)
Customers
Pursuant to
a Marketing Agreement (cancelled August 5, 2016), the Company provided marketing programs to promote and sell hearing
aid instruments and related devices to Moore Family Hearing Company (“MFHC”), an entity under common control, MFHC owned
and operated retail hearing aid stores. Based on common control of MFHC and the Company, all transactions with MFHC
are classified as related party transactions. The Company has offset the accounts receivable owed from MFHC for expenses of
the Company that have been paid by MFHC. As a result of these payments, in addition to MFHC’s payments to the
Company through December 31, 2016, the balance due to MFHC as of December 31, 2018, and 2017, was $22,548, which is included
in Accounts payable, related party, on the consolidated balance sheet included herein.
In
September 2016, the officers and directors of the Company formed a California Limited Liability Company (“LLC1”),
for the purpose of acquiring commercial real estate and other business activities.
On December
24, 2016, LLC1 acquired two retail stores from the buyer of the MFHC stores. On March 1, 2017, the Company entered into a twelve-month
Marketing Agreement with each of the stores to provide telemarketing and design and marketing services for $2,500 per month per
store, resulting in $60,000 and $50,000, respectively for the years ended December 31, 2018, and 2017. Additionally, for the years
ended December 31, 2018, the Company invoiced LLC1 $20,226 for the Company’s production, printing and mailing services and
$1,793 for sale of products. As of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, LLC1 owes the Company $145,505 and $73,996, respectively.
On
August 5, 2016, the Company along with Mark Moore (“Mark”, the Company’s Chairman of the Board), Matthew
Moore (“Matthew”, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) and Kim Moore (“Kim”, the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer) entered into a Store Expansion Consulting Agreement (the “Expansion Agreement”) with a third
party (the “Client”). Mark, Matthew and Kim are herein referred to collectively as the “Moores”. Pursuant
to the Expansion Agreement, the Company and the Moores were responsible for all physical plant and marketing details for the Client’s
new store openings during the initial term of six-months. The Expansion Agreement was cancelled on January 6, 2017. The Client
has decided
to do their own marketing in-house and eliminate this out-sourced contract
and decided to open only one location and delay the opening of any other new stores.
For the year ended December
31, 2017, the Company recognized $100,000 of income for the one new store, opened in January 2017, and $160,000 in other income,
net, for payments received for the Expansion Agreement pursuant to the cancellation. The Client also paid an additional $30,000
for the cancellation of the Store Expansion Agreement and a marketing agreement.
O
n
August 5, 2016, the Company and the Moores also entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”)
with the same Client as the store Expansion Agreement. Under the Consulting Agreement, including the Non-Compete provision
covering a ten-mile radius of any retail store, the Company and the Moores were to provide unlimited licensing of the
Intela-Hear brand name, exclusive access to the Aware Aural Rehab Program within 10 miles of retail stores, exclusive
territory of all services within 10 miles of retail stores and up to 40 hours per month of various consulting services. The
Consulting Agreement continues until January 31, 2019, unless terminated for cause, as defined in the Consulting Agreement.
On May 26, 2017, the Company and the Moores were named in an action filed by the Client, that included a demand that all
monies paid pursuant to the Consulting Agreement be returned. On August 13, 2018, the Client, InnerScope and the Moores
executed a Settlement Agreement.
Revenue Generation
The Company has
begun to implement an industry encompassing revenue strategy, including the current revenue model to other major sectors of the
global hearing industry. The Company plans include generating revenues from 7 separate revenue streams. Each stream will generate
revenue and be poised for growth, increasing the Company’s market penetration.
The 7 revenue
streams are:
Patient Management
System (PMS):
a SaaS based software program which was created, designed and customized by and for audiologists, specifically
to fill a much-needed clinical gap solved in other multidiscipline software programs. It allows audiological retail clinics to
better manage their day-to-day operations through efficient clinical workflow, patient follow up, and logical organization of
data.
The
PMS software platform delivers a comprehensive business solution. Once
the data is uploaded, the platform seamlessly integrates the needs of the audiologist, management, patient and marketing. The
software also provides a link between an electronic medical record (EMR) system containing patient's medical history, all while
seamlessly integrating the schedule and patient files of the clinics’ patient management platform. EMR systems are not designed
for Audiology and the records are often not integrated. The Company’s PMS software solves that problem by linking the two
platforms.
Buying
Group:
The Company
will create an exclusive Buying Group experience
that management believes will permit hearing aid practices of all sizes to reduce their wholesale costs by aggregating their
orders with other practices to obtain a lower per unit cost.
Direct-to-Consumer
(DTC):
The Company has begun the marketing and selling of products
within the
new emerging “Hearables” and “Wearables” markets in “Personal Sound Amplification Products”
(PSAP’s) and the Over-the-Counter (OTC) hearing aid market created by the result of recently passed Congressional legislation,
known as “The Hearing Aid Act of 2017”, which allows the purchase of hearing aids and related products without seeking
a medical professional.
The Company will continue to market and sell these products as well
as invest in “Hearable” technology and has and will continue to create its own brands and technology in the PSAP and
OTC hearing aids in the DTC markets.
APP Development:
The Company plans
on building apps for the iOS and Android markets that will
be dedicated to serving the hearing impairment population around the world. The APPs will be developed to help the audiology and
hearing aid retail practices that have joined the Buying Group or using the
Company’s
PMS software, as well as APPs for the hearing-impaired consumer to use for a better hearing experience.
Advertising
and Marketing:
This division will be built on the Company’s current business and will include graphic artists, digital
and print marketing experts, and telemarketers. This division will assist all divisions in helping to market and deploy
all
products and services to practices and consumers, as well as assisting Buying Group members with advertising and marketing
for their own practices. Whether the hearing aid dispensary is small, medium or large, we have previously shown an ability to
increase the total revenue of our clients without increasing cost. There are over 14,000 retail hearing aid dispensing practices
in the United States. The company operates in a highly competitive and growing industry. The proliferation of media channels,
including the rapid development of interactive technologies and mediums, along with their integration within all offerings has
fragmented consumer audiences, especially the 55+ age sector which is our clients’ primary targeted audience. These developments
make it more complex for marketers to reach their target audiences in a cost-effective way, causing them to turn to marketing
service providers for a customized mix of advertising and marketing communications services designed to make the best use of their
total marketing expenditures. We provide a comprehensive range of services (including consulting services), grouped into four
fundamental disciplines: advertising/marketing, customer relationship management, public relations and specialty communications.
Retail:
The Company
plans to open a chain of Audiological and Hearing Aid Clinics throughout
the United States and eventually abroad.
Research and
Development (“R&D”):
Management has been researching and developing products and solutions for the Business
to Business (“BTB”) and Business to Consumer (“BTC”) hearing impaired markets for more than 3 decades.
The R&D team which will be comprised of world renowned scientists, business professionals and industry leaders, will develop
and deploy products.

both parties
dismissing all claims against the other party with prejudice. Accordingly, the Company recognized Other income of $1,297,223
for the year ended December 31, 2018, comprised of the deferred revenues for amounts previously received and the $450,000
settlement amount.
Competition
We have numerous
direct, indirect and partial competitors, many of which have valuable industry relationships and access to greater resources than
we do. There is no assurance that we will be able to provide services that will be competitive in the marketplace, and even if
competitive, that we will be able to earn a profit.
The numerous types
of direct or indirect competitors that exist in the market today include, but may not be limited to, sales and marketing firms,
marketing consultants, design services, ad agencies, media buying firms, internet marketing firms, online social media firms and
others: Key competitors include Chicago Advertising & Marketing (CAM), a leader in direct marketing for the Hearing Aid Industry
since 1995, Beeman Marketing, a marketing firm specializing in hearing care practitioners and audiologists since 2004, and Nutshell
Marketing, a high quality direct response marketing firm specialized in targeting 55 and older age group.
The internet is
fast becoming a major factor in the distribution of hearing aids in the U.S. Numerous small companies are on the internet advertising
hearing aids for the cheapest price, and the largest hearing aid manufacturer, Sonova, which owns HearingPlanet, is most prominent
among these online offerings. However, internet sales still require the participation of a local practitioner for testing and
fitting. This limits the widespread geographic appeal of internet sales.
Our Buying Group
plan faces competition from major retail distributors and/or networks, as there is presently rapid growth of manufacturer-owned
retail stores. Major consolidation has taken place in the US market by the hearing aid manufacturers in the last few years, with
almost every manufacturer participating in buying out other smaller manufacturers, resulting in many different brand labels controlled
under the same parent company umbrella. This consolidation has allowed the manufacturers to increase and control more of their
distribution by offering different levels in their product lines throughout their different brands. This has also allowed
the manufacturers to implement different price strategies for the same technology throughout their brands. This consolidation
has not only increased their market share but also increased their profit margins.
Technology and
Development
We are equipped
with three (3) G5 MacPros and one (1) iMac, which are up-to-date with the latest in software package from Adobe Creative Cloud
and other graphic design software. We also utilize a large format printer and a production color printer to handle all proofing
needs. All design and client information is held on a cloud computing network, which allows all designers and customer relation
associates to access all design and customer files from on-site and off-site, to improve productivity and decrease lag time. Files
are encrypted and password protected to make sure files are securely stored.
Intellectual Property
We
have copyrights on all materials that are created or modified by any designers, which includes all conceptual and final
artwork. Over the years, we have developed proprietary processes in how we manage our marketing programs; these processes are
not protected by any patents but, to the extent possible, are covered by non-disclosure agreements executed with clients,
consultants and employees. In the future we may utilize the services of contract developers, consultants, and/or third party
personnel. Our success may depend in part upon our ability to preserve our trade secrets, obtain and maintain patent
protection for our technologies, products and processes, and operate without infringing upon the proprietary right of other
parties. However, we may rely on certain proprietary technologies, trade secrets, and know-how that are not patentable.
Although we may take action to protect our unpatented trade secrets and our proprietary information, in part, by the use
of confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and certain of our contractors, we cannot
guarantee that:
|
(a)
|
these agreements will not be breached;
|
|
(b)
|
we would have adequate remedies for any breach;
or
|
|
(c)
|
our proprietary trade secrets and know-how will
not otherwise become known or be independently developed or discovered by competitors.
|
We cannot guarantee
that our actions will be sufficient to prevent imitation or duplication of either our products or services by others or prevent
others from claiming violations of their trade secrets and proprietary rights.
Government Regulation.
We are subject
to a limited variety of local, state, and federal regulations. Some of our products for example are registered with the FDA.
While we believe that our operations are in compliance with all applicable regulations, there can be no assurances that from
time to time unintentional violations of such regulations will not occur. We are subject to federal, state and local laws and
regulation applied to businesses, such as payroll taxes on the state and federal levels. Our current business requires that
we comply with state corporate filings, city or county business license and the necessary business liability insurance. The
requirements of these regulations are minimal and do not cause any undue burden.
Internet access
and online services are not subject to direct regulation in the United States. Changes in the laws and regulations relating to
the telecommunications and media industry, however, could impact our business. For example, the Federal Communications Commission
could begin to regulate the Internet and online service industry, which could result in increased costs for us. The laws and regulations
applicable to the Internet and to our services are evolving and unclear and could damage our business. There are currently few
laws or regulations directly applicable to access to, or commerce on, the Internet. Due to the increasing popularity and use of
the Internet, it is possible that laws and regulations may be adopted, covering issues such as user privacy, defamation, pricing,
taxation, content regulation, quality of products and services, and intellectual property ownership and infringement. Such legislation
could expose us to substantial liability as well as dampen the growth in use of the Internet, decrease the acceptance of the Internet
as a communications and commercial medium, or require us to incur significant expenses in complying with any new regulations.
Debt and Recent Events
Capital Raising
During the year ended 2018 and through April
15, 2019, we incurred an aggregate of $1,961,133 and $1,296,003 of convertible indebtedness, respectively, at variable conversion
rates. An aggregate of $1,277.108 and $2,337,436 was outstanding as of December 31, 2018 and April 15, 2019, respectively, convertible
into approximately 75,600,000 shares of our common stock as of the date hereof. All of these financings were private transactions
with accredited investors pursuant to Regulation D of Rule 506 or other exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.
Retail Establishments
Our retail establishment presence has grown
significantly during late 2018 and early 2019. Since September 2018 through the date of filing of this Report we opened and entered
into property leases for, five new retail clinic facilities. Additional detailed information relating to these facilities is provided
in our “Description of Properties” section below.
Employees
As of March 31,
2019, we have 19 full-time employees.
ITEM 1A –
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully
consider the risks described below, as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the
section of this document entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.” The risks and uncertainties described below are not
the only ones facing the Company. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition
or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Investors should
not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the
date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events
or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events
or circumstances. Our business, financial condition and/or results of operation may be materially adversely affected by the nature
and impact of these risks. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors.
Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination
of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Risks Related
to Our Business and Our Industry
Our independent
auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We incurred a
net loss of $4,585,117 and $1,913,332 for the years ending December 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively. Because of the
operating losses, negative cash flows from operations and working capital deficit, in their report on our financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding their
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are dependent therefore in raising additional capital
in order to fund our operations. We may continue to experience net operating losses in the foreseeable future. Our ability to
continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside
sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loan from
various financial institutions where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such
goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
We are
dependent on raising additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may not be able to achieve our
business plan and you could lose your investment.
We are
dependent on raising outside capital to fill our operational and expansion needs. We currently raise this debt through
private debt or equity financings, as well as obtain credit from vendors to be able to fully execute our business plan. Any
additional capital raised through the sale of equity may dilute your ownership interest. We may not be able to raise
additional funds on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funds or credit from our vendors, we
will be unable to execute our business plan and you could lose your investment. Management estimates we will need
approximately $2,500,000 to fully implement, execute, market and launch our plans of multiple revenue streams in 2019. During
2019 we raised approximately $1,073,000 by the issuance of $1,296,000 of convertible notes.
Our Directors
and Officers hold 900,000 Shares of our Series B Preferred Shares which gives them voting control of the Company and therefore
effective control of the Company.
As the holders
of the Series B Preferred Stock, our current officers and directors ( the Moores) will have 1,000 votes per each share of the
900,000 shares of Series B Preferred that they own, constituting 900,000,000 votes, on any matter submitted to the holders of
the common stock of the Company, effectively giving the holders voting control of the Company, as there are only 151,737,305
shares of the Company’s common stock currently issued and outstanding. In addition to the voting power held via the
Series B Preferred, our officers and directors are also the holder of 57,060,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
representing 37.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the issuance of
the preferred, the holders total voting percentage, including their common stock, is now 91%. This leaves our shareholders
with no control over our business and operations, and any investors in our Company should be aware of this risk.
Our management
team has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance may divert its attention from the day-to-day
management of our business.
Our management team has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance
may divert its attention from the day-to-day management of our business. Some of the individuals who now constitute our management
team have limited experience managing a publicly traded company and limited experience complying with the increasingly complex
laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage our continued transition to
a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under the federal securities
laws. In particular, these new obligations will require substantial attention from our senior management and could divert their
attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could materially and adversely impact our business operations.
Sales concentrations
for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
For the year ended
December 31, 2108, one customer accounted for 25.2% of our business and is a related party. For the year ended December 31, 2017,
four customers accounted for approximately 75% of our business, of which one (18.3%), was a related party. In August 2016, we
entered into a 30- month Consulting Agreement with an unaffiliated party, as well as a Store Expansion Agreement and Marketing
Agreement. The Store Expansion Agreement and Marketing Agreement were subsequently cancelled. The unaffiliated party represented
approximately 27.6% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017.
A significant
part of our business plan depends on marketing of our products and services, which may not be accepted in the marketplace.
Our industry is
extremely competitive and we have yet to attain any significant market share. In order to achieve successful operations, we will
depend on effective marketing to gain a significantly larger market share. We do not engage independent sales representatives.
We do not employ a marketing agency. Employing a greater number of marketing personnel or a marketing agency would require greater
financial resources than we currently possess. Furthermore, our ability to attract independent sales representatives may be limited
without greater name recognition, an advertising campaign and market penetration. Unless we are able to address these limitations
in our marketing capabilities, you may expect our revenues to be limited and we may have difficulty staying in business. And under
such circumstances, our stock would not gain in value.
We operate
in and plan to expand into extremely competitive environments, which will make it difficult for us to achieve market recognition
and revenues.
We operate in an
extremely competitive environment and the markets for our products and services are characterized by rapidly changing technologies,
frequent new product introductions, short product life cycles and evolving industry standards. Our success depends, in substantial
part, on the timely and successful introduction of our new products and services and thereafter upgrades of our products and services
to comply with emerging industry standards and to address competing technological and product developments by our competitors.
We may focus our resources on technologies that do not become widely accepted, are not timely released or are not commercially
viable. In addition, our products may contain defects or errors that are detected only after deployment. If our products are not
competitive or do not work properly, our business could suffer and our financial performance could be negatively impacted. You
have no assurance that our new products and services, which we intend to be a significant part or our business, will be accepted
in the marketplace. If our products and services do not achieve market acceptance, our revenues will be significantly below the
level we anticipate.
We are an
early-stage company with an unproven business model and our business may not become profitable.
We are an early-stage
company with a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our business. We have very limited historical financial data.
As a result of these factors, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven, and we have only a limited operating
history upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects. Because of our limited operating history
and because the health care industry is rapidly evolving, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business.
We may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends, which could harm our business. Early-stage companies
in new and rapidly evolving markets such as ours frequently encounter risks, uncertainties and difficulties, including those described
in this section. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks. Failure to adequately address such risks
could cause our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects to suffer.
Our revenues
are highly susceptible to declines as a result of unfavorable economic conditions.
Economic downturns
could affect the hearing aid industry more severely than other industries, and the recovery of the hearing aid industry could
lag behind that of the economy generally. In the past, some clients have responded to weakening economic conditions by reducing
their purchases of hearing aids in general and marketing budgets specifically, which include discretionary components that are
easier to reduce in the short term than other operating expenses. This pattern may recur in the future. A decrease in our revenue
could pose a challenge to our cash generation from operations.
Our financial
condition could be adversely affected if our available liquidity is insufficient.
If our business
is significantly adversely affected by further deterioration in the economic environment or otherwise, it could lead us to seek
new or additional sources of liquidity to fund our needs. Currently, for a non-investment-grade company such as ours, the capital
markets are challenging, with limited available financing and at higher costs than in recent years. There can be no guarantee
that we would be able to access any new sources of liquidity on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
We may lose
or fail to attract and retain key employees and management personnel.
Our employees,
including creative, research, media and account specialists, and their skills and relationships with clients, are among our most
important assets. An important aspect of our competitiveness is our ability to attract and retain key employees and management
personnel. Our ability to do so is influenced by a variety of factors, including the compensation we award, and could be adversely
affected by our financial or market performance.
We
currently have only a small management team and staff, which could limit our ability to effectively seize market opportunities
and grow our business.
Our operations
are subject to all of the risks inherent in a growing business enterprise, including the likelihood of operating losses. As a
smaller company with a limited operating history, our success will depend, among other factors, upon how we manage the problems,
expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a new business, products
and channels of distribution, and current and future development. In addition, as a company with a limited operating history and
only a small management team and staff to grow the business and manage the risks inherent in a growing business enterprise, these
factors could limit our ability to effectively seize market opportunities and grow.
We are subject
to regulations and other governmental scrutiny that could restrict our activities or negatively impact our revenues.
Our marketing sector
is subject to government regulation and other governmental action, both domestic and foreign. There has been an increasing tendency
on the part of advertisers and consumer groups to challenge advertising through legislation, regulation, the courts or otherwise.
For example, challenges have been made in the courts on the grounds that the advertising is false and deceptive or injurious to
public welfare. Through the years, there has been a continuing expansion of specific rules, prohibitions, media restrictions,
labeling disclosures and warning requirements with respect to the advertising for certain products. Representatives within government
bodies, both domestic and foreign, continue to initiate proposals to ban the advertising of specific products and to impose taxes
on or deny deductions for advertising, which, if successful, may have an adverse effect on advertising expenditures and consequently
our revenues.
We are be
subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that requires us to incur audit fees and
legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to
earn a profit.
We are subject
to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that requires us to incur audit fees and legal
fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional accounting, audit, legal, printing, public
relations and other costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earn a profit. We are required to file periodic reports
with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these
requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly
basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in
the preparation of such reports. The incurrence of such costs constitutes an expense to our operations and thus have a
negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit. We are also continually exposed to
potential risks resulting from any new requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we cannot
provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose
confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, could
drop significantly
If we experience
significant fluctuations in our rate of anticipated growth and fail to balance our expenses with our revenue forecasts, our results
could be harmed.
Due to our evolving
business model, the unpredictability of new markets that we intend to enter, and the unpredictability of future general economic
and financial market conditions, we may not be able to accurately forecast our rate of growth. We plan our expense levels and
investment on estimates of future revenue and future anticipated rate of growth. As a result, we expect that our revenues, operating
results and cash flows may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis
We may in
the future be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.
The software and
Internet industries are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, trademarks and copyrights and by frequent
litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. We may receive in the future
communications from third parties claiming that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others. We may in the future
be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights. Our technologies may not be able to withstand any
third-party claims against their use. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain. Any intellectual property claims,
whether with or without merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to resolve, could divert management attention from executing
our business plan and could require us to change our technology, change our business practices and/or pay monetary damages or
enter into short- or long-term royalty or licensing agreements which may not be available in the future at the same terms or at
all.
We rely on
third-party computer hardware and software that may be difficult to replace or which could cause errors or failures of our service.
We will rely on
computer hardware purchased or leased and software licensed from third parties in order to offer our proposed service, including
database software from Oracle Corporation and an open source content management system. This hardware and software may not continue
to be available at reasonable prices or on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any loss of the right to use any of this
hardware or software could significantly increase our expenses and otherwise result in delays in the provisioning of our service
until equivalent technology is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained and integrated, which could harm
our business. Any errors or defects in third-party hardware or software could result in errors or a failure of our service which
could harm our business.
Our business
could be adversely affected if our customers are not satisfied with their purchase through us or the implementation and customization
services provided by third party Service Providers.
Our business will
depend on our ability to satisfy our potential customers. If a customer is not satisfied with the quality of the product or service,
the customer's dissatisfaction could damage our ability to obtain additional or future orders from that customer. In addition,
potential negative publicity related to our customer relationships, regardless of its accuracy, may further damage our business
by affecting our ability to compete for new business with prospective customers.
We are dependent
on our CEO and outsourced consultants, and the loss of one or more of these individuals could harm our business and prevent us
from implementing our business plan in a timely manner.
Our success depends
substantially upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key members of management, particularly our CEO,
Matthew Moore. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on our CEO. The loss of the services of our CEO could seriously
harm our business.
Our CEO
is also an Officer or a managing member of Moore Family Hearing Company, Moore Holdings, LLC and Value Hearing, LLC, and we
have entered into transactions with these entities.
Our future
growth may be dependent, in part, on our distribution arrangements directly with retailers and regional retail accounts. If we
are unable to establish and maintain these arrangements, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely
affected.
Our future growth
may be dependent in part on our distribution arrangements directly with retailers and regional retail accounts. If we are unable
to establish and maintain these arrangements, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. We
currently have distribution arrangements with a few regional retail accounts to distribute our products directly through their
venues; however, there are several risks associated with this distribution strategy. First, we do not have long-term agreements
in place with any of these accounts and thus, the arrangements are terminable at any time by these retailers or us. Accordingly,
we may not be able to maintain continuing relationships with any of these national accounts. A decision by any of these retailers,
or any other large retail accounts we may obtain, to decrease the amount purchased from us or to cease carrying our products could
have a material adverse effect on our reputation, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, we may not be able
to establish additional distribution arrangements with other national retailers. In addition, our dependence on large regional
retail chains may result in pressure on us to reduce our pricing to them or seek significant product discounts. In general, our
margins are lower on our sales to these customers because of these pressures. Any increase in our costs for these retailers to
carry our product, reduction in price, or demand for product discounts could have a material adverse effect on our profit margin.
Our ability
to grow our business may depend on developing a positive brand reputation and member loyalty.
Establishing and
maintaining a positive brand reputation and nurturing member loyalty is critical to attracting new customers. We expect to expend
reasonable but limited resources to develop, maintain and enhance our brand in the near future. In addition, nurturing customer
loyalty will depend on our ability to provide a high-quality, user experience. If we are unable to maintain and enhance our brand
reputation and customer satisfaction, our ability to attract new customers will be harmed.
Investors
may lose their entire investment if we fail to reach profitability.
We commenced business
in 2006. We have no demonstrable operations record from which you can evaluate the business and its prospects. Our prospects must
be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early
stages of development. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in accomplishing our objectives. To date, we have incurred
losses and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Investors should therefore be aware that they may lose their entire
investment in the securities.
We have limited
protection of our intellectual property.
Our business prospects
do not rely upon company-owned patented technologies. Our business prospects will depend largely on our ability to service and
support customers and deliver services and solutions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately protect our
trade secrets. In the event competitors independently develop or otherwise obtain access to our know-how, concepts or trade secrets,
we may be adversely affected.
Litigation
or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation.
Litigation or legal
proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation.
We may become party
to litigation claims and legal proceedings. Litigation involves significant risks, uncertainties and costs, including distracting
of management’s attention away from our current business operations. We evaluate litigation claims and legal proceedings
to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these
assessments and estimates, we establish reserves and/or disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings, as appropriate.
These assessments and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount
of management judgment. We caution you that actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from those envisioned by our current
assessments and estimates. Our policies and procedures require strict compliance by our employees and agents with all United States
and local laws and regulations applicable to our business operations, including those prohibiting improper payments to government
officials. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that our policies and procedures will always ensure full compliance by our employees
and agents with all applicable legal requirements. Improper conduct by our employees or agents could damage our reputation in
the United States and internationally or lead to litigation or legal proceedings that could result in civil or criminal penalties,
including substantial monetary fines, as well as disgorgement of profits.
Our business
model is subject to change
We may elect from
time to time to make pricing, service, hiring and marketing decisions that could increase our expenses, affect our revenues and
impact our financial results. Moreover, because our expense levels in any given quarter are based, in part, on management’s
expectations regarding future revenues, if revenues are below expectations, the effect on our operating results may be magnified
by our inability to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for a shortfall in revenues. The extent to which expenses
are not subsequently followed by increased revenues would harm our operating results and could seriously impair our business.
If
we do not effectively manage changes in our business, these changes could place a significant strain on our management and operations.
To manage our growth
successfully, we must continue to improve and expand our systems and infrastructure in a timely and efficient manner. Our controls,
systems, procedures and resources may not be adequate to support a changing and growing company. If our management fails to respond
effectively to changes and growth in our business, including acquisitions, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.
As we attempt
to expand our customer base through our marketing efforts, our new customers may use our products differently than our existing
customers and, accordingly, our business model may not be as efficient at attracting and retaining new customers.
As we attempt to
expand our customer base, our new customers may use our products differently than our existing customers. For example, a greater
percentage of new customers may take advantage of the free trial period we offer but ultimately choose to use another form of
marketing to reach their constituents. If our new customers are not as loyal as our existing customers, our attrition rate will
increase and our customer referrals will decrease, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition,
as we seek to expand our customer base, we expect to increase our spending on sales and marketing activities in order to attract
new customers, which will increase our operating costs. There can be no assurance that these sales and marketing efforts will
be successful
U.S. federal
legislation entitled Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 imposes certain obligations
on the senders of commercial emails, which could minimize the effectiveness of our email marketing solution, and establishes financial
penalties for non-compliance, which could increase the costs of our business.
Part of our
marketing plan includes email advertising. U.S. federal legislation entitled Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited
Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 imposes certain obligations on the senders of commercial emails, which could minimize
the effectiveness of our email marketing solution, and establishes financial penalties for non-compliance, which could
increase the costs of our business. In December 2003, Congress enacted Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography
and Marketing Act of 2003, or the CAN-SPAM Act, which establishes certain requirements for commercial email messages and
specifies penalties for the transmission of commercial email messages that are intended to deceive the recipient as to source
or content. The CAN-SPAM Act, among other things, obligates the sender of commercial emails to provide recipients with the
ability to opt out of receiving future emails from the sender. In addition, some states have passed laws regulating
commercial email practices that are significantly more punitive and difficult to comply with than the CAN-SPAM Act,
particularly Utah and Michigan, which have enacted do-not-email registries listing minors who do not wish to receive
unsolicited commercial email that markets certain covered content, such as adult or other harmful products. Some portions of
these state laws may not be preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act. The ability of our customers’ constituents to opt out of
receiving commercial emails may minimize the effectiveness of our email marketing solution. Moreover, non-compliance with the
CAN-SPAM Act carries significant financial penalties. If we were found to be in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act, applicable
state laws not preempted by the CAN-SPAM Act, or foreign laws regulating the distribution of commercial email, whether as a
result of violations by our customers or if we were deemed to be directly subject to and in violation of these requirements,
we could be required to pay penalties, which would adversely affect our financial performance and significantly harm our
business. We also may be required to change one or more aspects of the way we operate our business, which could impair our
ability to attract and retain customers or increase our operating costs.
Government
regulation of the Internet, e-commerce and m-commerce is evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by us to comply with these
laws and regulations could substantially harm our business and results of operations.
Government regulation
of the Internet, e-commerce and m-commerce is evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by us to comply with these laws and
regulations could substantially harm our business and results of operations. We are subject to general business regulations and
laws as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the Internet, e-commerce and m-commerce in a number of jurisdictions
around the world. Existing and future regulations and laws could impede the growth of the Internet, e-commerce, m-commerce or
other online services. These regulations and laws may involve taxation, tariffs, privacy and data security, anti-spam, data protection,
content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts, electronic communications and consumer protection. It is not clear how
existing laws and regulations governing issues such as property ownership, sales and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply
to the Internet as the vast majority of these laws and regulations were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and do not
contemplate or address the unique issues raised by the Internet, e-commerce or m-commerce. It is possible that general business
regulations and laws, or those specifically governing the Internet, e-commerce or m-commerce may be interpreted and applied in
a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices. We cannot assure
you that our practices have complied, comply or will comply fully with all such laws and regulations. Any failure, or perceived
failure, by us to comply with any of these laws or regulations could result in damage to our reputation, a loss in business, and
proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others. Any such proceeding or action could hurt our reputation,
force us to spend significant resources in defense of these proceedings, distract our management, increase our costs of doing
business, and cause consumers and retailers to decrease their use of our marketplace, and may result in the imposition of monetary

noncompliance with any such laws or regulations. In addition, it is possible that governments of one or more countries may seek
to censor content available on our websites and mobile applications or may even attempt to completely block access to our marketplace.
Adverse legal or regulatory developments could substantially harm our business. In particular, in the event that we are restricted,
in whole or in part, from operating in one or more countries, our ability to retain or increase our customer base may be adversely
affected and we may not be able to maintain or grow our net revenues as anticipated

The Company
may lose its status as an Emerging Growth Company.
Under Section 2(a)(19)
of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 3(a)(80) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
an Emerging Growth Company ("EGC") will lose its EGC status upon the earliest of:
-
the last day of the first fiscal year in
which the company's annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion;
-
the date on which the company is deemed
to be a large accelerated filer (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act);
-
the date on which the company has, during
the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and
-
the last day of the fiscal year in which
the fifth anniversary of the company's first sale of equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement occurs.
Risks Related
to Our Common Stock
We have raised
capital through the use of convertible debt instruments that causes substantial dilution to our stockholders.
Because of
the size of our Company and its status as a “penny stock” as well as the current economy and difficulties of
companies our size experience in finding adequate sources of funding, we have been forced to raise capital through the
issuance of convertible notes and other debt instruments. These debt instruments carry favorable conversion terms to their
holders of up to 35% discounts to the market price of our common stock on conversion and in some cases provide for the
immediate sale of our securities into the open market, which will cause dilution to our stockholders. As of December 31,
2018, we had approximately $1,277,108 in convertible debt and potential convertible debt outstanding, with weighted average
interest of approximately 8% and annual debt service of approximately $103,000. The convertible debt is convertible into
approximately 120,800,000 shares of common stock at December 31, 2018. This convertible debt balance as well as
additional convertible debt we incur in the future will cause substantial dilution to our stockholders.
Because we
are quoted on the OTCQB instead of an exchange or national quotation system, our investors may have a tougher time selling their
stock or experience negative volatility on the market price of our common stock.
Our common stock
is quoted on the OTCQB. The OTCQB is often highly illiquid, in part because it does not have a national quotation system by which
potential investors can follow the market price of shares except through information received and generated by a limited number
of broker-dealers that make markets in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that are quoted
on the OTCQB as compared to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including
the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations,
lower trading volume, and market conditions. Investors in our common stock may experience high fluctuations in the market price
and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market
price for our securities. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine
to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock improves.
Our stock
is listed on the OTCQB, if we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTCQB which would
limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities in the secondary market.
Companies trading
on the OTCQB, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current
in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTCQB. As a result, the market liquidity
for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the
ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market. In addition, we may be unable to get relisted on the
OTCQB, which may have an adverse material effect on the Company.
The Possible
Sale of Shares of Common Stock by Our Selling Security Holders May Have a Significant Adverse Effect on the Market Price of Our
Common Stock.
We have registered
906,000 shares of common stock with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission. The security holders may sell some or all of their
shares at anytime. In the event that the security holders sell some or all of their shares, the price of our common stock could
decrease significantly.
Our ability to
raise additional capital through the sale of our stock in a private placement may be harmed by these competing re-sales of our
common stock by the selling security holders. Potential investors may not be interested in purchasing shares of our common stock
if the selling security holders are selling their shares of common stock. The selling of stock by the security holders could be
interpreted by potential investors as a lack of confidence in us and our ability to develop a stable market for our stock. The
price of our common stock could fall if the selling security holders sell substantial amounts of our common stock. These sales
may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate
because the selling security holders may offer to sell their shares of common stock to potential investors for less than we do.
We are an
‘Emerging Growth Company” and we intend to take advantage of reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable
to Emerging Growth Companies, which could result in our stock being less attractive to investors.
We are an "emerging
growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act, and we
intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies
that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our
periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive
compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors
will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less
attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company, which in certain
circumstances could be for up to five years.
The Company’s
election to take advantage of the jobs act’s extended accounting transition period may not make its financial statements
easily comparable to other companies.
Pursuant to the
JOBS Act of 2012, as an emerging growth company the Company can elect to take advantage of the extended transition period for
any new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB")
or the Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company has elected take advantage of such extended transition
period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies,
the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the standard on the private company timeframe. This may make comparison
of the Company's financial statements with any other public company which is not either an emerging growth company nor an emerging
growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible as possible different or revised
standards may be used.
The Jobs
Act will also allow the Company to postpone the date by which it must comply with certain laws and regulations intended to protect
investors and reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the
The JOBS Act is
intended to reduce the regulatory burden on “emerging growth companies. The Company meets the definition of an emerging
growth company and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:
-
be exempt from the provisions of
Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that its independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation
report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.
-
be exempt from the “say on
pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the
“say on golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve golden parachute arrangements
for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of the Dodd-Frank Act and certain
disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of its chief executive officer;
-
be permitted to omit the detailed
compensation discussion and analysis from proxy statements and reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and instead
provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation; and
-
be exempt from any rules that may be adopted
by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s
report on the financial statements
The Company currently
intends to take advantage of some or all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to it so
long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”.
As long as
the Company qualifies as an Emerging Growth Company, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm will not
be required to attest to the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Because the Company
has elected to take advantage of the extended time periods for compliance with new or revised accounting standards provided for
under Section 102(b) of the JOBS Act, among other things, this means that the Company's independent registered public accounting
firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in
the internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company,
the Company may elect not to provide certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding
compensation of executive officers that would otherwise have been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make
it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the Company. As a result, investor confidence in the Company
and the market price of its common stock may be adversely affected.
The Penny
Stock Rules Could Restrict the Ability of Broker-Dealers to Sell Our Shares.
The SEC has adopted
penny stock regulations which apply to securities traded over-the-counter. These regulations generally define penny stock to be
any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an equity security of an issuer with net tangible
assets of less than $5,000,000 as indicated in audited financial statements, if the corporation has been in continuous operations
for less than three years. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the rules for any transaction involving a penny stock require
the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that contains certain information describing
the nature and level of risk associated with investments in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions
payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Monthly account
statements must be sent by the broker-dealer disclosing the estimated market value of each penny stock held in the account or
indicating that the estimated market value cannot be determined because of the unavailability of firm quotes. In addition, the
rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established
customers and institutional accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000). These practices
require that, prior to the purchase, the broker-dealer determined that transactions in penny stocks were suitable for the purchaser
and obtained the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction. If a market for our common stock does develop and our shares
trade below $5.00 per share, it will be a penny stock. Consequently, the penny stock rules will likely restrict the ability of
broker-dealers to sell our shares and will likely affect the ability of purchasers in the offering to sell our shares in the secondary
market. Trading in our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” rules. Due to the thinly traded market of
these shares investors are at a much higher risk to lose all or part of their investment. Not only are these shares thinly traded
but they are subject to higher fluctuations in price due to the instability of earnings of these smaller companies. As a result
of the lack of a highly traded market in our shares investors are at risk of a lack of brokers who may be willing to trade in
these shares.
We do not
expect to pay dividends in the future; any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
We do not currently
anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings,
financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant.
Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and development
and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends
to the holders of our common stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our
board of directors. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will
only occur if its stock price appreciates.
The market
price of our common stock may be volatile and may decline in value.
The market price
of our common stock has been and will likely continue to be highly volatile, as is the stock market in general, and the market
for OTC Marketplace quoted stocks, in particular. Some of the factors that may materially affect the market price of our
common stock are beyond our control, such as changes in financial estimates by industry and securities analysts, conditions or
trends in the industry in which we operate or sales of our common stock. These factors may materially adversely affect the
market price of our common stock, regardless of our performance. In addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme
price and trading volume volatility. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many
companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations
may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our stockholders
may experience significant dilution if future equity offerings are used to fund operations or acquire complementary businesses.
If our future operations
or acquisitions are financed through the issuance of equity securities, our stockholders could experience significant dilution.
In addition, securities issued in connection with future financing activities or potential acquisitions may have rights and preferences
senior to the rights and preferences of our common stock.
Our current
management can exert significant influence over us and make decisions that are not in the best interests of all stockholders.
Our executive
officers and directors (the Moores) beneficially own as a group approximately 91% of our outstanding voting shares, including
our Series B Preferred Stock. As a result, these stockholders will be able to assert significant influence over all matters
requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any change in control. In
particular, this concentration of ownership of our outstanding shares of common stock could have the effect of delaying or
preventing a change in control, or otherwise discouraging or preventing a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain
control. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could also
prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares of common stock. Moreover,
the interests of the owners of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of
other stockholders and, accordingly, could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise
consider.
We could
issue additional “blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current
stockholder interests and impairing their voting rights, and provisions in our charter documents and under Nevada law could discourage
a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable.
Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides that we may
authorize and issue up to 25,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations, rights, and preferences
as may be determined from time to time by our Board. Our Board has issued 900,000 of Series B Preferred, and is empowered, without
stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other
rights, which could dilute the interest of or impair the voting power of our holders of Common Stock. The issuance of a series
of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying, or preventing a change in control. For example, it would
be possible for our Board to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of
any attempt to change control of our Company.
Investors
who purchase shares of our common stock should be aware of the possibility of a total loss of their investment.
An investment in
our common stock involves a substantial degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should give careful consideration
to the risk factors described in this section in addition to the other information contained herein. The risk factors
described herein, however, may not reflect all of the risks associated with our business or an investment in our common stock.
You should invest in our Company only if you can afford to lose your entire investment.
The Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our
stock.
In addition to
the Penny Stock Rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer,
a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending
speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain
information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations
of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for
at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our
common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
A significant
amount of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock are restricted securities and may not be freely resold to the public.
When the restriction on any or all of these shares is lifted, and the shares are sold in the open market, the price of our common
stock could be adversely affected.
A significant amount
of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock are "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption
from registration, if available. Although Rule 144 may not be immediately available to permit resale of such shares, once available,
and given the number of shares that would no longer be restricted, sales of shares by our shareholders, whether pursuant to Rule
144 or otherwise, could have an immediate negative effect upon the price of our common stock.

ITEM 3. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS.
On
May 26, 2017, Helix Hearing Care (California), Inc. a California corporation (“Helix”), filed a complaint (the “Complaint”)
against the InnerScope and the Moores, in the Circuit Court of the 11
th
Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade
County, Florida, that includes a rescission of the Consulting Agreement and a demand that all monies paid pursuant to the Consulting
Agreement be returned, on the basis that an injunction against certain Officers and Directors renders the Consulting Agreement
impossible to perform. The Company had previously received $1,250,000 under the Consulting Agreement. InnerScope was not named
as an enjoined party in such previous litigation, and the services contemplated under the Consulting Agreement are not within
the scope of the injunction, thus InnerScope believes the accusation by the third party is frivolous and without merit, as well
as not providing sufficient cause for the Agreement to be terminated. InnerScope and the Moores filed their Answer and Affirmative
Defenses to the Complaint on June 27, 2017. On the same date, InnerScope, the Moores, and MFHC filed a counterclaim. On
February 27, 2018, the Counterclaim was amended to include four claims for breach of contract, one claim for anticipatory breach
of contract, one claim for negligent misrepresentation, and one claim for account stated. On August 13, 2018, Helix, the Company
and the Moores signed a Settlement Agreement, whereby, the Company received $450,000,
both
parties dismissing all claims against the other party with prejudice and Matthew, Mark and Kimberly have been released from their

Other income
(expense), net
Other expense,
net was $1,876,505 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $686,840 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Included in
other expense, net, for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $1,297,223 as a result of the Helix settlement, whereby the Company
recognized $847,223 previously classified as deferred revenues and $450,000 of cash received from the settlement and there was
a gain on debt extinguishment of $530,468 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Derivative expenses of $2,436,951 and $1,269,305
of interest expense, including amortization of debt discounts increased significantly as a result of the convertible notes. The
2017 period included a loss recorded on the Consulting Agreement, due to the uncertainty of future services being provided, based
on the Complaint (see Note 13) and interest and derivative expenses of $77,287 and $265,674, respectively. The expenses for the
year were partially offset by the Company recognizing a gain $160,000 on the cancellation of Store Expansion Agreement. The Company
received $400,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017 and also paid $240,000 to a stockholder for services provided related
to the income received pursuant to the Cancellation Agreement.
Net loss
Net loss for
the year ended December 31,2018 was $4,585,117 compared to $1,913,332 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in the
loss was mainly due to the increases in operating expenses and other expenses as above.
Capital
Resources and Liquidity
Liquidity
is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs to pay ongoing obligations. As of December
31, 2018, we had cash of $87,826, an increase of $3,106, from $84,720 as of December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2018, we had
current liabilities of $3,686,665 (including derivative liabilities of $1,807,404) compared to current assets of $597,707 which
resulted in working capital deficit of $3,088,9579. The current liabilities are comprised of accounts payable, accrued expenses,
notes payable, convertible notes payable and derivative liabilities.
Our ability
to operate over the next twelve months, is contingent upon continuing to realize sales revenue sufficient to fund our ongoing
expenses. If we are unable to sustain our ongoing operations through sales revenue, we intend to fund operations through debt
and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our working capital, or other cash requirements. There
can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our ability to
operate beyond December, 2019, is contingent upon continuing to realize sales revenue sufficient to fund our ongoing expenses.
If we are unable to sustain our ongoing operations through sales revenue, we intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity
financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our working capital, or other cash requirements. Since December 31,
2018, we have received $813,475, from the issuance of $996,670 of convertible notes and approximately $145,000 from the sales
of hearing aid products. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan
of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or
at all.
Operating
Activities
Cash used in operating
activities was $1,165,526 for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $776,283 for the year ended December 31, 2017. For

of deferred revenue, gains recognized on debt extinguishment of $530,468 and increases in assets of $300,884, offset by increases
in liabilities of $454,006 and the non- cash expense items of depreciation and amortization of $1,115,396, derivative expense

OFF BALANCE SHEET
ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have
any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition
or results of operations.
Critical Accounting
Policies
Basis of
presentation
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States
of America ("US GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of InnerScope
and its’ wholly owned subsidiaries ILLC and Intela-Hear, a California limited liability company. All intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging
Growth Companies
The
Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that
an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities
Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, the Company can delay the adoption
of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take
advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these financial statements include collectability of accounts receivable, accounts
receivable from a related party and notes receivable from an officer, inventory allowances for slow moving or obsolete inventory
and the allocation of our CEO’s compensation to the Company. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers
all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried
at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at certain times, exceed federally insured limits.
If the amount of a deposit at any time exceeds the federally insured amount at a bank, the uninsured portion of the deposit could
be lost, in whole or in part, if the bank were to fail.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess
of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant
risk on its cash due to the financial position of the depository institution in which those deposits are held.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company has adopted ASU 2014-09, as amended effective January 1, 2018, and determined that there was no significant impact on
its revenue recognition. The Company’s contracts with customers are generally on a purchase order basis and represent
obligations that are satisfied at a point in time as defined in the new guidance.
Accordingly,
revenue for each sale is recognized when each sale is complete, and any costs incurred before this point in time, are recorded
as assets to be expensed during the period the related revenue is recognized. The Company accepts prepayments on hearing aids
and records the amount received as customer deposits on its’ balance sheet. When the Company delivers the hearing aid to
the customer, revenue is recognized as well as the corresponding cost of sales. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had received
$56,698 of customer deposits, that will be recognized after December 31, 2018, when the hearing aids are delivered to the customer.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company received and recognized $100,000 of revenue related to the Store Expansion agreement,
and $30,000 of income from the cancellation of the Marketing and Store Expansion Agreements
.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized $847,223 as other income (amount was previously in deferred
revenues) as well as $450,000 pursuant to a settlement agreement.
Deferred
Revenue
The
Company records deferred revenues from the Consulting Agreement when cash has been received, but the related services have not
been provided. Deferred revenue will be recognized when the services are provided and the terms of the agreements have been fulfilled.
On May 26, 2017, the Company and the Moores were named in an action filed that included a demand that all monies paid pursuant
to the Consulting Agreement be returned. The Company believes the claim is frivolous and without merit, as well as not providing
sufficient cause for the Agreement to be terminated (See Note 12). The Company has not recognized any revenue in 2017 from the
Consulting Agreement as a result of this litigation. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has deferred revenue of $847,223 related
to the Consulting Agreement.
Advertising
and Marketing Expenses
The Company expenses
advertising and marketing costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2018, advertising and marketing expenses were $173,580.
The Company did not incur any advertising and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Investment
in Undivided Interest in Real Estate
The
Company accounts for its’ investment in undivided interest in real estate using the equity method, as the Company is severally
liable only for the indebtedness incurred with its interest in the property. The Company includes its allocated portion of net
income or loss in Other income (expense) in its Statement of Operations, with the offset to the equity investment account on the
balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized a gain of $2.060. As of December 31, 2018, the carrying
value the carrying value of our investment in undivided interest in real estate was $1,226,963.
Fair Value
of Financial Instruments
The Company measures
assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on
fair
value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability,
as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes
a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation
techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The
following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
|
•
|
Level
1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
•
|
Level
2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities;
or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
|
|
•
|
Level
3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company's assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value.
These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
|
The
carrying amounts of the Company's fi
nancial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable - related party, approximate
their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The following table
represents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2018,
and 2017, for each fair value hierarchy level:

Income Taxes
The Company accounts
for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the
estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. A valuation allowance
related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not
be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date
of enactment.
ASC 740-10 prescribes
a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides
guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition
issues. Interest and penalties are classified as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been
assessed, nor paid, any interest or penalties.
Uncertain tax positions
are measured and recorded by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the
effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized.
Earnings
(loss) Per Share
The Company reports
earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed
by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted
earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents
and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the Company’s
outstanding convertible debt is convertible into approximately 120,715,294 and 10,043,445 shares of common stock, respectively,
subject to adjustment based on changes in the Company’s stock price. This amount is not included in the computation of dilutive
loss per share because their impact is antidilutive.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
A review and evaluation
was performed by the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”)
and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this annual report. Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of December 31, 2018,
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at ensuring that the material information required to be disclosed in our
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as required in the application of SEC rules and forms.
Management’s
Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is de
fined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed
by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
•
|
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and disposition of
our assets;
|
•
|
Provide
reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance
with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and
directors; and
|
•
|
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets
that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted
that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject
to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.
Our CEO and CFO
have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as described in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report based upon criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated
Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(2013
framework)
.
As a result of this evaluation, we concluded that our internal control
over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018,
as described below.
We assessed the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following
material weaknesses:
Insufficient
Resources:
We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.
Inadequate
Segregation of Duties
: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.
Lack
of Audit Committee:
We do not have a functioning audit committee, resulting in lack of independent oversight in the establishment
and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
We are committed
to improving the internal controls and will (1) consider to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and
to assist us with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant
accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing
additional outside directors and audit committee members in the future.
We have discussed
the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of these material
weaknesses, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial
statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.
This Annual Report
does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant
to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
There have been
no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
No director, executive
officer, significant employee or control person of the Company has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f)
of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.
Corporate Governance
Our Board has not
established any committees, including an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee, or any committee
performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our Board. Because we do not have any
independent directors, our Board believes that the establishment of committees of our Board would not provide any benefits to
our Company and could be considered more form than substance.
We do not have
a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum
qualifications for director candidates, nor have our officers and directors established a process for identifying and evaluating
director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates
by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our officers and directors have not considered or adopted any of
these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors.
Given our relative
size and lack of directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will
make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event
such a proposal is made, all current members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.
As with most small,
early stage companies until such time as our Company further develops our business, achieves a revenue base and has sufficient
working capital to purchase directors’ and officers’ insurance, we do not have any immediate prospects to attract
independent directors. When we are able to expand our Board to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish
an audit committee of our Board of Directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify
as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of
our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all
or any portion of our Board of Directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain
an audit committee or other committee of our Board.
Conflicts of Interests
In
September 2016, the officers and directors of the Company formed a California Limited Liability Company (“LLC1”),
for the purpose of acquiring commercial real estate and other business activities.
On December
24, 2016, LLC1 acquired two retail stores from the buyer of the MFHC stores. On March 1, 2017, the Company entered into a twelve-month
Marketing Agreement with each of the stores to provide telemarketing and design and marketing services for $2,500 per month per

Code of Ethics
We adopted a Code
of Ethics for Senior Financial Management to promote honest and ethical conduct and to deter wrongdoing. This Code applies to
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and other employees performing similar functions. The obligations of the
Code of Ethics supplement, but do not replace, any other code of conduct or ethics policy applicable to our employees generally.

reporting or internal controls.
|
Director Independence
None of the members
of our Board of Directors qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ
Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and
has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged
in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our Board has not made a subjective determination as to each director
that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying
out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our Board of
Directors made these determinations, our Board would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us
with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
In performing the
functions of the audit committee, our board oversees our accounting and financial reporting process. In this function, our board
performs several functions. Our board, among other duties, evaluates and assesses the qualifications of the Company’s independent
auditors; determines whether to retain or terminate the existing independent auditors; meets with the independent auditors and
financial management of the Company to review the scope of the proposed audit and audit procedures on an annual basis; reviews
and approves the retention of independent auditors for any non-audit services; reviews the independence of the independent auditors;
reviews with the independent auditors and with the Company’s financial accounting personnel the adequacy and effectiveness
of accounting and financial controls and considers recommendations for improvement of such controls; reviews the financial statements
to be included in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and discusses with the Company’s
management and the independent auditors the results of the annual audit and the results of our quarterly financial statements.
Our board as a
whole considers executive officer compensation, and our entire board participates in the consideration of director compensation.
Our board as a whole oversees our compensation policies, plans and programs, reviews and approves corporate performance goals
and objectives relevant to the compensation of our executive officers, if any, and reviews the compensation and other terms of
employment of our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers. Our board also administers our equity incentive and
stock option plans, if any.
Each of our directors
participates in the consideration of director nominees. In addition to nominees recommended by directors, our board will consider
nominees recommended by shareholders if submitted in writing to our secretary. Our board believes that any candidate for director,
whether recommended by shareholders or by the board, should be considered on the basis of all factors relevant to our needs and
the credentials of the candidate at the time the candidate is proposed. Such factors include relevant business and industry experience
and demonstrated character and judgment.
Compliance
with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own
more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership,
reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common shares and other equity securities,
on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations
to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely upon a review of such reports, and on written representations
from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that, with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, each director,
executive officer and 10% stockholder made timely filings of all reports required by Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

(1) On June
4, 2018, the Company issued 300,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock each to Matthew, Mark and Kimberly, in consideration
of $45,000 of accrued expenses, the Company’s failure to timely pay current and past salaries, and the willingness to accrue
unpaid payroll and non-reimbursement of business expenses without penalty or action for all amounts. The Series B Preferred Stock
is not convertible into common stock, nor does the Series B Preferred Stock have any right to dividends and any liquidation preference.
The Series B Preferred Stock entitles its holder to a number of votes per share equal to 1,000 votes. The Company determined that
fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock issued was $817,600. The fair value was determined as set forth in the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard ASC 820-10-35-37, Fair Value in Financial Instruments.
As
of December 31, 2018, there were 900,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Employment Agreements
On November 15,
2016, the Company executed an employment agreement with Matthew Moore for an annual compensation of $225,000 and with Kimberly
Moore for $125,000 annual compensation.
Outstanding
Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

received any equity awards or holds exercisable or unexercisable options as of December 31, 2018.
Long-Term
Incentive Plans
There
are no arrangements or plans in which the Company would provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive
officers.
Compensation
Committee
We currently do
not have a compensation committee of our Board of Directors. The Board as a whole determines executive compensation.
Director Compensation
We do not pay fees
to our directors for attendance at meetings of the board; however, we may adopt a policy of making such payments in the future.
We will reimburse out-of-pocket expenses incurred by directors in attending board and committee meetings.
ITEM 12. SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
The
following table sets forth information known to the Company with respect to the beneficial ownership (as such term is defined
in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the outstanding common stock of the Company as of
April 15, 2019 by: (1) each person known by the Company to beneficially own 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding
common stock; (2) each of the named executive officers as defined in Item 402(m)(2); (3) each of the Company’s
directors; and (4) all of the Company’s executive officers and directors as a group. The number of shares beneficially
owned is determined under rules promulgated by the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial
ownership for any other purpose. Including those shares in the tables does not, however, constitute an admission that the
named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares. The below table is as of April 15, 2019. As of
April 15, 2019, there were 151,737,305 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company also has outstanding
900,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which is not convertible but votes on a 1,000 for one basis with the common stock
and is considered a “control block” of shares.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
On November 1,
2013, the Company acquired Intela-Hear, in exchange for 27,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This resulted in
Intela-Hear becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The shares were issued equally to Mark Moore and Kim Moore, who
owned all of the outstanding equity of Intela-Hear. Because of the common ownership, all accounts were recorded at Intela-Hear’s
historical cost basis. The Company also issued 1,530,000 shares of common stock to its’ CEO for services rendered. The shares
were recorded as compensation expense at $40,800 ($0.0267 per share), based upon the Company’s internal valuation on a discounted
cash flow basis.
The Company loaned
the CEO $20,500 during the year ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company received payments

Pursuant
to a Marketing Agreement (cancelled August 5, 2016), the Company provided marketing programs to promote and sell hearing aid instruments
and related devices to Moore Family Hearing Company (“MFHC”). MFHC owned and operated retail hearing aid stores. Based
on common control of MFHC and the Company, all transactions with MFHC are classified as related party transactions. On August
8, 2016, in consideration of $128,000 (the “Cancellation Fee”), MFHC and the Company agreed to cancel the Marketing
Agreement as a result of the sale by MFHC of substantially all of their assets (see Note 6). On August 11, MFHC paid $229,622
to the Company (inclusive of the balance owed as of June 30, 2016, the Cancellation Fee and other related party activity).
Pursuant to the
Marketing Agreement, beginning in January 2014, the monthly fee was increased from $2,500 to $3,200 per retail location. For January
through June 2015, there were 18 MFHC retail stores and one store was added July 1, 2015. From January 1, 2016 thru August 5,

ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, the balance due to MFHC as of December 31, 2018, and 2017, was $22,548.
On April 1, 2013,

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial
Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December
31, 2018, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial
statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in
the two year period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with
the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required
to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures
to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $4,585,117 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Additionally, the
Company has a working capital deficit of $3,088,957 and an accumulated deficit of $6,372,129 as of December 31, 2018. These and
other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan
regarding these matters is also described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
D. Brooks and Associates CPA’s, P.A.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Business
InnerScope Hearing
Technologies, Inc. (“Company”, “InnerScope”) is a Nevada Corporation incorporated on June 15, 2012, with
its principal place of business in Roseville, California. The Company was originally named InnerScope Advertising Agency, Inc.
and was formed to provide advertising and marketing services to retail establishments in the hearing device industry. On August
25, 2017, the Company changed its name to InnerScope Hearing Technologies, Inc.
to better
reflect the Company’s current direction as a technology driven company with a scalable business model, encompassing; business
to business (B2B) solutions, direct to consumer (DTC) sales and marketing and business to consumer (and B2C) solutions. The Company
is a manufacturer and a DTC distributor/retailer of FDA (Food and Drug Administration) registered hearing aids, personal sound
amplifier products (“PSAP’s”), hearing related treatment therapies
,
doctor-formulated
dietary hearing supplements and proprietary CDB oil for treating tinnitus.
The Company
also owns and operates audiological and retail hearing device clinics and plans to continue to open and acquire additional clinics.
As of the date of this filing, the Company operates five retail hearing device clinics in California.
On
August 5, 2016, the Company along with Mark Moore (“Mark”, the Company’s Chairman of the Board), Matthew
Moore (“Matthew”, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) and Kim Moore (“Kim”, the Company’s
Chief Financial Officer) entered into a Store Expansion Consulting Agreement (the “Expansion Agreement”) with a third
party (the “Client”). Mark, Matthew and Kim are herein referred to collectively as the “Moores”. Pursuant
to the Expansion Agreement, the Company and the Moores were responsible for all physical plant and marketing details for the Client’s
new store openings during the initial term of six-months. The Expansion Agreement was cancelled on January 6, 2017. The Client
decided
to do their own marketing in-house and eliminate the out-sourced contract and
decided to open only one location and delay the opening of any other new stores.
For the year ended December
31 2017, the Company recognized $100,000 of income for the one new store, opened in January 2017, and $160,000 in other income,
net, for payments received for the Expansion Agreement pursuant to the cancellation. The Client also paid an additional $30,000
for the cancellation of the Store Expansion Agreement and a marketing agreement.
Also,
on August 5, 2016, the Company and the Moores entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with
the same Client as the store Expansion Agreement. Under the Consulting Agreement, including the Non-Compete provision covering
a ten-mile radius of any retail store, the Company and the Moores were to provide unlimited licensing of the Intela-Hear brand
name, exclusive access to the Aware Aural Rehab Program within 10 miles of retail stores, exclusive territory of all services
within 10 miles of retail stores and up to 40 hours per month of various consulting services. The Consulting Agreement continues
until January 31, 2019, unless terminated for cause, as defined in the Consulting Agreement. On May 26, 2017, the Company and
the Moores were named in an action filed by the Client, that included a demand that all monies paid pursuant to the Consulting
Agreement be returned. On August 13, 2018, the Client, InnerScope and the Moores executed a Settlement Agreement (See Note 13).
NOTE 2 –
Asset Purchase Acquisition of Kathy L Amos Audiology
Effective September
10, 2018, the Company acquired all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Kathy L Amos Audiology (“Amos Audiology”)
in exchange for 340,352 shares of common stock (the “Acquisition”). Amos Audiology
provides
retail hearing aid sales and audiological services in the East Bay area of San Francisco.
Based on the fair
value of the common stock issued of $22,974 and the assumed liabilities of $33,049, the total purchase consideration was $56,023.
The following table
summarizes the purchase price allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition:

The total purchase
price of $56,023 has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated
fair values as of the completion of the Acquisition. The fair value of Amos Audiology’s identifiable intangible assets was
estimated primarily using the income approach which requires an estimate or forecast of all the expected future cash flows, either
through the use of the relief-from-royalty method or the multi-period excess earnings method. The Company determined the identifiable
intangible assets, consisting of a customer base and non-compete had fair values of $300 and $12,707, respectively.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Basis of
Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States
of America ("US GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements of the Company
include
the consolidated accounts of InnerScope and its’ wholly owned subsidiaries ILLC and Intela-Hear. All intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging
Growth Companies
The
Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the 2012 JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides
that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the
Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As an emerging growth company, the Company can delay
the adoption of certain
accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The
Company has elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.
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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the fair value of the derivative liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers
all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried
at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company held no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. Cash balances may,
at certain times, exceed federally insured limits. If the amount of a deposit at any time exceeds the federally insured amount
at a bank, the uninsured portion of the deposit could be lost, in whole or in part, if the bank were to fail.
Accounts receivable
The Company records
accounts receivable at the time products and services are delivered. An allowance for losses is established through a provision
for losses charged to expenses. Receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes collectability
is unlikely. The allowance (if any) is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing
receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. As of December 31, 2018, management’s
evaluation required the establishment of an allowance for uncollectible receivables of $18,383. As of December 31, 2017, management’s
evaluation did not require an allowance.
Sales Concentration
and Credit Risk
Following is a
summary of customers who accounted for more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s revenues for the years ended December
31, 2018 and 2017, and accounts receivable balances as of December 31, 2018, and 2017:

Inventory
Inventory is valued
at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first in first out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially
obsolete or slow-moving inventory is made based on management analysis or inventory levels and future sales forecasts. As of December
31, 2018, and 2017, management’s analysis did not require any provisions to be recognized.
Intangible
Assets
Costs for
intangible assets are accounted for through the capitalization of those costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining
such assets. Capitalized costs are included in intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheets. On October 3, 2018,
the Company entered into a Manufacturing Design and Marketing Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Zounds Hearing, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (“Zounds”), whereby, Zounds as the Subcontractor will provide design, technology, manufacturing
and supply chain services to the Company (see Note 13) for a period of ten years . The Company will pay Zounds One Million ($1,000,000)
for the right to use proprietary technology (the “Technology Access Fee”). As of December 31, 2018, the Company has
capitalized the $1,000,000 Technology Access Fee as an intangible asset on the consolidated balance sheets. The Technology Access
Fee will be amortized over the term of the Agreement. The Company also acquired intangible assets from an asset purchase agreement
(see Note 2).
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company purchased the domain name
www.innd.com
from a
third party for $3,000.
Property
and Equipment
Property and equipment
are stated at cost, and depreciation is provided by use of a straight-line method over the estimated useful l
ives
of the assets. The Company reviews property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are
as follows:

Investment
in Undivided Interest in Real Estate
The
Company accounts for its’ investment in undivided interest in real estate using the equity method, as the Company is severally
liable only for the indebtedness incurred with its interest in the property. The Company includes its allocated portion of net
income or loss in Other income (expense) in its Statement of Operations, with the offset to the equity investment account on the
balance sheet. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized a gain of $2,060 and loss of $1,378, respectively.
As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in undivided interest in real estate was
$1,226,963 and $1,224,903, respectively (see Note 10).
Fair Value
of Financial Instruments
The Company measures
assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements,
which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be,
in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that mark
et
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent
framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are
assigned a hierarchical level.
The
following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
|
•
|
Level
1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
•
|
Level
2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities;
or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
|
|
•
|
Level
3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company's assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value.
These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
|
The
carrying amounts of the Company's financial asse
ts and liabilities, such as
cash, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, certain notes payable and notes payable -
related party, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The following table
represents the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2018,
and 2017, for each fair value hierarchy level:

Embedded
Conversion Features
The Company evaluates
embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" to determine whether the
embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with
changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the
instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" for consideration of any beneficial
conversion feature.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The Company does
not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of
it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features
that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative
instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value
reported as charges or credits to income.
For option-based
simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Monte Carlo simulations to value the derivative instruments at inception
and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded
as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
Debt Issue
Costs and Debt Discount
The Company may
record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be
paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense through the maturity of
the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs prior to maturity a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is
immediately expensed. Any unamortized debt issue costs and debt discount are presented net of the related debt on the consolidated
balance sheets.
Original
Issue Discount
For certain convertible
debt issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount would be recorded
to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense through the maturity of the debt. If
a conversion of the underlying debt occurs prior to maturity a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed. Any
unamortized original issue discounts are presented net of the related debt on the consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue
Recognition
Effective
January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”)
and all the related amendments. The Company elected to adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective method. The
adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
The
core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers
in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates
may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations
in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction
price to each separate performance obligation.
The
Company’s contracts with customers are generally on a purchase order basis and represent obligations that are satisfied
at a point in time, as defined in the new guidance, generally upon delivery or has services are provided.
Accordingly,
revenue for each sale is recognized when the Company has completed its performance obligations, Any costs incurred before this
point in time, are recorded as assets to be expensed during the period the related revenue is recognized. The Company accepts
prepayments on hearing aids and records the amount received as customer deposits on its’ balance sheet. When the Company
delivers the hearing aid to the customer, revenue is recognized as well as the corresponding cost of sales.
As
of December 31, 2018, the Company had received $56,698 of customer deposits, that will be recognized as revenue after December
31, 2018, when the hearing aids are delivered to the customer
Income Taxes
The Company accounts
for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the
estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. A valuation allowance
related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not
be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date
of enactment.
ASC 740-10 prescribes
a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides
guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition
issues. Interest and penalties are classified as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been
assessed, nor paid, any interest or penalties.
Uncertain tax positions
are measured and recorded by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the
effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized.
Advertising
and Marketing Expenses
The Company expenses
advertising and marketing costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2018, advertising and marketing expenses were $173,580.
The Company did not incur any advertising and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Earnings
(Loss) Per Share
The Company reports
earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed
by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted
earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents
and other potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the Company’s
outstanding convertible debt is convertible into approximately 120,715,294 and 10,043,445 shares of common stock, respectively.
This amount is not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact is antidilutive.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and
lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance offers specific
accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative
and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing
and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption
permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial
statements.
With the exception
of the new standard discussed above, there have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements
during the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as filed on April 17, 2018, that are of significance
or potential significance to the Company.
NOTE 4 –
GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S PLANS
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. which assumes the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company experienced
a net loss of $4,585,117 for the year ended December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit
of $3,088,957, and an accumulated deficit of $6,372,129. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern and to operate in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification
of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
Management’s Plans

trading price for the 20 days prior to conversion. The note was funded on November 10, 2017, when the Company received proceeds
of $250,000, after disbursements for the lender’s transaction costs, fees and expenses. The Note also required daily payments

NOTE 13 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITES
The Company determined
that the conversion features of the convertible notes represented embedded derivatives since the Notes are convertible into a
variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the notes are not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19
and the embedded conversion feature is bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly,
the fair value of these derivative instruments is recorded as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding
amount recorded as a discount to each Note, with any excess of the fair value of the derivative component over the face amount
of the note recorded as an expense on the issue date. Such discounts are amortized from the date of issuance to the maturity dates
of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recorded in other income or expenses in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations at the end of each period, with the offset to the derivative liabilities on the balance
sheet. See Note 12.
The Company valued
the derivative liabilities at issuance, December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, at $1,807,404 and $540,965, respectively. The
Company used the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions for new notes issued during the nine months
ended December 31, 2018, risk-free interest rates from 1.82% to 2.71% and volatility of 303% to 432%, and as of December 31, 2018,
risk-free interest rates from 2.56% to 2.62% and volatility of 355% to 391%.

derivative liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2018, and 2017, is as follows:

a demand letter threatening litigation unless all monies paid pursuant to the Consulting Agreement are returned. On May 26, 2017,

Legal
Matters
On May
26, 2017, Helix Hearing Care (California), Inc. a California corporation (“Helix”), filed a complaint (the “Complaint”)
against the InnerScope and the Moores, in the Circuit Court of the 11
th
Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade
County, Florida, that includes a rescission of the Consulting Agreement and a demand that all monies paid pursuant to the Consulting
Agreement be returned, on the basis that an injunction against certain Officers and Directors renders the Consulting Agreement
impossible to perform. The Company had previously received $1,250,000 under the Consulting Agreement. InnerScope was not named
as an enjoined party in such previous litigation, and the services contemplated under the Consulting Agreement are not within
the scope of the injunction, thus InnerScope believes the accusation by the third party is frivolous and without merit, as well
as not providing sufficient cause for the Agreement to be terminated. InnerScope and the Moores filed their Answer and Affirmative
Defenses to the Complaint on June 27, 2017. On the same date, InnerScope, the Moores, and MFHC filed a counterclaim. On
February 27, 2018, the Counterclaim was amended to include four claims for breach of contract, one claim for anticipatory breach
of contract, one claim for negligent misrepresentation, and one claim for account stated. On August 13, 2018, Helix, the Company
and the Moores signed a Settlement Agreement, whereby, the Company received $450,000,
all
parties dismissed all claims against the other party with prejudice and Matthew, Mark and Kimberly have been released from their
covenant not to compete agreement signed in August 2016 with Helix.

has been recognized to offset the deferred tax assets because realization of such assets is uncertain.

As
of December 31, 2018, the Company has approximately $2,016,000 net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future
taxable income.
The NOL deduction for a tax year is equal to the lesser of (1) the aggregate
of the NOL carryovers to such year, plus the NOL carry-backs to such year, or (2) 80% of taxable income (determined without regard
to the deduction). Generally, NOLs can no longer be carried back but are allowed to be carried forward indefinitely. The special
extended carryback provisions are generally repealed, except for certain farming and insurance company losses. The amendments
incorporating the 80% limitation apply to losses arising in tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2017.
It is more likely than
not that the deferred tax assets cannot be utilized in the future because there will not be significant future earnings from the
entity which generated the net operating loss. Therefore, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax
assets.
As
of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits which would favorably affect the effective
income tax rate in future periods, and does not believe that there will be any significant increases or decreases of unrecognized
tax benefits within the next twelve months. No interest or penalties relating to income tax matters have been imposed on the Company
during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and no provision for interest and penalties is deemed necessary as of December
31, 2018, and 2017.
The
U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) was enacted on December 22, 2017 and introduces significant changes to U.S. income tax law.
Effective in 2018, the Tax Act reduces the U.S. statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced
earnings and certain related-party payments, which are referred to as the global intangible low-taxed income tax and the base
erosion tax, respectively. The Tax Act requires the Company to pay U.S. income taxes on accumulated foreign subsidiary earnings
not previously subject to U.S. income tax at a rate of 15.5% to the extent of foreign cash and certain other net current assets
and 8% on the remaining earnings. Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexity involved in applying the provisions of
the Tax Act, the Company has not recorded any adjustments according to Tax Act. As the Company collects and prepares necessary
data, and interprets the Tax Act and any additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the IRS, and other standard-setting
bodies, the Company may make adjustments to the provisional amounts. The accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act will be
completed in 2019.

whereby each share of Series A Preferred Stock will convert two (2) shares of common stock upon the Company filing Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada, increasing the authorized shares of common stock. The

The
issuances were made in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and Rule
506(b) promulgated thereunder, as the 1shareholders are accredited investors, there was no general solicitation, and the transaction
did not involve a public offering.
On August 8, 2018, Matthew, Mark and Kim each converted 3,170,000 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock for 6,340,000 shares of common stock each. The common stock issued replaced the 19,020,000 shares in the aggregate

offering.
The Company determined that fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock issued to the Company’s CEO was
