NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2017

 

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION, GOING CONCERN AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization

 

NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. , or the Company, currently is a Florida corporation that was incorporated in Nevada in October 1987. It was formerly known as Jaguar Investments, Inc. between October 1987 and May 2003, Power2Ship, Inc. between May 2003 and November 2006, and Fittipaldi Logistics, Inc. between November 2006 and December 2007.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. For the six months ended December 31, 2017 we incurred a net loss of $385,226, had a use of cash in operating activities of $39,470, and had negative working capital of approximately $5.2 million These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future. Management plans to provide for the Company’s capital requirements by continuing to issue additional equity and debt securities. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Management is seeking to identify an operating company and engage in a merger or business combination of some kind, or acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in a business that generates sustained revenues. We are considering several potential acquisitions and are investigating various candidates to determine whether they would have the potential to add value to us for the benefit of our stockholders.

 

We do not intend to restrict our consideration to any particular business or industry segment, and we may consider, among other businesses, finance, brokerage, insurance, transportation, communications, services, natural resources, manufacturing or technology. Because we have limited resources, the scope and number of suitable candidates to merge with is relatively limited. Because we may participate in a business opportunity with a newly formed firm, a firm that is in the development stage, or a firm that is entering a new phase of growth, we may incur further risk due to the inability of the target’s management to have proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the lack of an established market for the target’s products or services, or the inability to reach profitability in the next few years.

 

Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders. As it is expected that the closing of such a transaction will result in a change in control, such transaction is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger, with the operating company being considered the legal acquiree and accounting acquirer, and we would be considered the legal acquirer and the accounting acquiree. As a result, at and subsequent to closing of any such transaction, the financial statements of the operating company would become our financial statements for all periods presented.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited interim financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state NuState Energy Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company” or “we”, “us” or “our”) financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented and to make such information not misleading. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2017, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 28, 2017. The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results will differ from those estimates. Included in these estimates are assumptions used in Black-Scholes valuation methods, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend rate.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid, temporary, cash equivalents with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents during the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

 

The Company is subject to a concentration of credit risk from cash.

 

The Company’s cash account is held at a financial institution and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, up to $250,000. At December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company had not reached a bank balance exceeding the FDIC insurance limit.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company assessed the potential classification of its derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Company’s common stock, and determined that such derivatives meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.

 

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.

 

During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company determined that there was no active market for the Company’s common stock, and because of this lack of liquidity and market value, there was no derivative liability associated with these convertible notes. The Company uses judgment in determining the fair value of derivative liabilities at the date of issuance and at every balance sheet thereafter and in determining which valuation method is most appropriate for the instrument (e.g., Black-Scholes-Merton), the expected volatility, the implied risk-free interest rate, as well as the expected dividend rate, if any. The derivate liability that had previously been recognized was recorded as a gain through the change in fair value of derivative liability on the statement of operations as of June 30, 2017, and there was no derivative liability recorded as of December 31, 2017.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company accounts, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
   
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

Additional Disclosures Regarding Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, accrued compensation, note and convertible promissory notes payable, approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these items.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

 

ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s own Equity, generally provides that, among other things, if an event is not within the entity’s control, such contract could require net cash settlement and shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions”. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

Income Taxes, continued

 

The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25, Definition of Settlement” , which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had not filed tax returns for the tax years ending June 30, 2008 through 2016 and such returns, when filed, potentially will be subject to audit by the taxing authorities for a minimum of three years beyond the filing date under the three-year statute of limitations. The Company has not accrued any potential tax penalties associated with not filing these tax returns. Due to recurring losses, management believes such potential tax penalties, in any, would not be material in amount.

 

Share-Based Payment

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, or ASC 718. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

 

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton, or BSM, option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its options, which incorporates various subjective assumptions including volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life, and dividend yield to calculate the fair value of stock option awards. Compensation expense recognized in the statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and reflects estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recent accounting pronouncements have been issued but deemed by management to be outside the scope of relevance to the Company.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and dilutive Common Stock share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive Common Stock share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method). Potential common shares includable in the computation of fully-diluted per-share results are not presented in the financial statements as their affect would be anti-dilutive.

The weighted-average potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding at December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

 

    2017     2016  
Series A Preferred Stock     9,324       9,324

NOTE 3: DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

The Company accounts for the embedded conversion features included in its convertible instruments as derivative liabilities. The aggregate fair value of derivative liabilities at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 amounted to $0 and $0, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded a gain related to the change in fair value of the derivative liability amounting to $0 and s loss of $123,247, respectively. Management had a change in accounting estimate during the year ended June 30, 2017. The Company determined that all of the underlying convertible notes were past due and in default, and that there was no active market for the Company’s common stock. Because of this lack of liquidity and market value, there was no derivative liability associated with these convertible notes. At each measurement date, the fair value of the embedded conversion features was based on the Black-Scholes-Merton method using the following assumptions:

 

    Six Months Ended December 31,  
    2017     2016  
Effective Exercise price                $ 0.001875  
Effective Market price           $ 0.0042  
Volatility     %     488 %
Risk-free interest     %     0.13 %
Terms           90 days  
Expected dividend rate     %     0 %

 

During fiscal 2017, the Company’s management had a change in accounting estimate related to the accounting for derivative liabilities. Due to the Company’s current share price and lack of trading liquidity in the Company’s common stock, the convertible notes were determined to have no basis for applying a derivative liability to the conversion of these notes. As a result, there is no derivative liability at December 31, 2017.

 

Changes in the derivative liabilities during the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

 

Derivative liability at June 30, 2017   $ -  
Gain on change in fair value of derivative liability, recognized as other expense     -  
Derivative liability at December 31, 2017   $ -  

 

NOTE 4: ACCRUED INTEREST PAYABLE

 

Changes in accrued interest payable during the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

 

Accrued interest payable at June 30, 2017   $ 1,493,014  
Interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2017, excluding amortization of debt discount of $27,083     147,073  
Accrued interest payable at December 31, 2017   $ 1,640,087

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. Certain statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements. See ‘‘Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information’’ elsewhere in this report. Because this discussion involves risk and uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements .

 

Overview

 

NuState Energy Holdings, Inc. is seeking opportunities to acquire profitable and well-managed companies. We will work closely with consultants who will help us identify target companies that fit within criteria we have established for opportunities that will provide value to our shareholders.

 

We are considering several potential acquisitions and are investigating various candidates to determine whether they would have the potential to add value to us for the benefit of our stockholders.

 

We do not intend to restrict our consideration to any particular business or industry segment, and we may consider, among other businesses, cybersecurity, technology, communications, services, natural resources, or manufacturing. Because we have limited resources, the scope and number of suitable candidates to merge with is relatively limited. Because we may participate in a business opportunity with a newly formed firm, a firm that is in the development stage, or a firm that is entering a new phase of growth, we may incur further risk due to the inability of the target’s management to have proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the lack of an established market for the target’s products or services, or the inability to reach profitability in the next few years.

 

Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders. As it is expected that the closing of such a transaction will result in a change in control, such transaction is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger, with the operating company being considered the legal acquiree and accounting acquirer, and we would be considered the legal acquirer and the accounting acquiree. As a result, at and subsequent to closing of any such transaction, the financial statements of the operating company would become our financial statements for all periods presented.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

 

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, selling, general and administrative expenses were $91,082 and $211,070 respectively, as compared to $164,135 and $1,017,446 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively. For the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

 

    Three Months Ended     Six Months Ended  
    December 31,     December 31,  
    2017     2016     2017     2016  
Accounting expense   $ 400     $ 16,000     $ 12,900     $ 40,900  
Consulting fees     30,000       6,500       73,500       24,000  
Salaries     60,000       60,000       120,000       120,000  
Stock-based compensation     -       80,000       -       830,000  
Other     682       1,635       4,670       2,546  
    $ 91,082     $ 164,135     $ 211,070     $ 1,017,446  

 

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during fiscal 2017, when compared with the prior year, is primarily due to a decrease in stock -based compensation and accounting expense, offset by higher consulting fees.

 

We believe that our selling, general, and administrative expenses will continue at their current rate as we continue to focus our resources on the search for a business opportunity for the remainder of 2017. Should we begin merger or acquisition procedures, we believe that our selling, general, and administrative expenses will substantially increase.

 

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

 

    Three-Months Ended           Six-Months Ended        
    December 31,     %     December 31,     %  
    2017     2016     Change     2017     2016     Change  
Gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities   $    -     $ (373,795 )     (100 )%   $    -     $ (123,247 )     (100 )%

 

The change in fair value of derivative liabilities results from the changes in the fair value of the derivative liability due to the application of ASC 815, resulting in either income or expense, depending on the difference in fair value of the derivative liabilities between their measurement dates driven by the change in the per share price of the Company’s common stock.

 

During fiscal 2017, the Company’s management had a change in accounting estimate related to the accounting for derivative liabilities. Due to the Company’s current share price and lack of trading liquidity in the Company’s common stock, the convertible notes were determined to have no basis for applying a derivative liability to the conversion of these notes.

Interest Expense

 

    Three-Months Ended     %     Six-Months Ended     %  
    December 31,     Change     December 31,     Change  
    2017     2016           2017     2016        
Interest expense   $ 73,744     $ 84,223       (12.4 )%   $ 174,156     $ 168,423       3.4 %

 

Interest expense represents stated interest of notes and convertible notes payable as well as amortization of debt discount. We believe that our interest expense will continue at the same levels as the first six months of 2018 for the remainder of fiscal 2018.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2017 and 2016, 100% of our total assets consisted of cash.

 

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

 

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that we have ready access to sufficient funds to meet commitments and effectively implement our growth strategy. Our primary sources are financing activities such as the issuance of notes payable and convertible notes payable. In the past, we have mostly relied on debt and equity financing to provide for our operating needs.

 

We cannot ascertain that we have sufficient funds from operations to fund our ongoing operating requirements through June 30, 2018. We may need to raise funds to enhance our working capital and use them for strategic purposes. If such need arises, we intend to generate proceeds from either debt or equity financing.

 

We intend to finance our operations using a mix of equity and debt financing. We do not anticipate incurring capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will need to raise approximately $180,000 per year in the near term to finance the recurring costs of being a publicly-traded company. In the long-term, we anticipate we will need to raise a substantial amount of capital to complete an acquisition. We are unable to quantify the resources we will need to successfully complete an acquisition. If these funds cannot be obtained, we may not be able to consummate an acquisition or merger, and our business may fail as a result.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has used net cash in its operating activities of approximately $39,500 and $85,000 during the six-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and has a working capital deficit of approximately $5.2 million and $4.9 million at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, to fund possible future acquisitions, and to generate profitable operations in the future, once a merger with an operating company is consummated. Management plans may continue to provide for its capital requirements by issuing additional equity securities and debt and the Company will continue to find possible acquisition target. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive operating results.

Six months ended December 31, 2017

 

Net cash used in operations during the six months ended December 31, 2017 decreased by $45,276 or 53% from the same period during fiscal year 2016. The decrease in cash used in operations is primarily due to the decrease in cash paid for consulting fees of $10,500, the decrease in cash paid for salaries to executives of $23,200, offset by the increase in cash paid for audit and related services of $9,000. This cash was obtained through the sale of $37,500 of convertible promissory notes.

 

Six months ended December 31, 2016

 

Net cash used in operations during the six months ended December 31, 2016 decreased by $118,334 or 58% from the same period during fiscal year 2015. The decrease in cash used in operations is primarily due to the decrease in cash paid for consulting fees of $127,936, the decrease in cash paid for salaries to executives of $48,125, offset by the increase in cash paid for audit and related services of $18,080. This cash was obtained through the sale of $47,500 of convertible promissory notes and $40,000 in promissory notes.
