PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

Overview

 

Bang Holdings Corp was incorporated in the state of Colorado on May 13, 2014. It is a brand management and advertising technology company providing content and an influencer-based marketing network to the cannabis industry, along with producing informed access to the multiple markets shaping the greater cannabis community. We are a development-stage company and since our inception we have generated only minimal revenues from business operations.

 

Bang Holdings Corp wholly owns, Bang Digital Media, Inc., a cannabis focused digital media company. Further, Bang Holdings wholly owns, Bang Technologies Inc., a tech company focused on investing in the research and development of artificial intelligence (A.I.) — specifically with regards to its implementation within the cannabis industry. 

 

Bang Digital Media is the hub for all ‘cannabusiness’ related advertising, content creation, technology and marketing. It consists of two divisions, the multi-platform 4TTnetwork, and a network of social media influencers that we call the Green Monkey Network. The 4TTnetwork is comprised primarily of specifically targeted audiences. These are 4TwentyToday, VaporBang, AmericanToker and HighOnStocks which cross the social media platforms of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, SnapChat and YouTube.

 

4TwentyToday and AmericanToker are digital, multi-platform channels that enables us to target advertising for Bang Holdings products and services across social media platforms. We currently have more than 2.7M users of our network, with a steady growth rate of around three thousand subscribers per week. By continuing to create targeted, quality content for this community on a daily basis, 4TwentyToday has, for example, created one of the most actively engaged cannabis pages on Facebook. This has built high levels of trust and goodwill in the community, which will be convertible to revenues once we have reached a critical mass of users.

 

Our most successful post on Facebook in 2016-2017 had 15.6 million views, leading to 1,832,507 “reactions,” 610,000 “shares,” and 164,000 “comments.” The post was created to build upon our social media footprint related to our business, not specifically towards our products. On Facebook alone between July 2016 and June 2017, Bang Digital Media’s pages accumulated 478.9M impressions, 46.2M engagements, and 65.1M video views.

 

The ‘Green Monkey Network’ is a network of social media influencers who are open to working as ambassadors in the marijuana industry. These influencers expand the Bang network by more than 30 million users.

 

Ultimately, the KPI (Key Performance Indicator) of Bang Digital Media is in the direct and expanded growth of our networks. By continuing to grow 4TwentyToday and the ‘Green Monkey Network’ to 100 million users we will have the digital reach to propel marijuana-friendly brands into the spotlight.

On April 30, 2016, the Company applied for additional trademarks for “BANG,” (Ser. No. 87020441, Ser. No. 87020455, Ser. No. 87020452, Ser. No 87020456). These first two trademarks were granted and became officially registered on September 5, 2017 and the last 2 trademarks were granted and became officially registered on September 17, 2017.

 

On January 25, 2017, the Company applied for trademarks for “American Toker,” (Ser. No. 87312970, Ser. No. 87312927, Ser. No. 87312838, Ser. No. 87312795). Those trademarks were granted and became officially registered on January 25, 2017.

 

Marketing and Sales

 

The Company’s marketing strategy is a multi-pronged approach that includes viral marketing strategies, celebrity & social influencer endorsements, affiliate marketing, conventional online advertising and attending tradeshows. During 2017, we spent approximately $100,000 on the creation and growth of Bang Digital Media, the primary social media footprint of Bang Holdings Corp.

 

Viral Marketing: The marketing team aims to produce “hits” through the release of content developed by the Company on 4TwentyToday’s “YouTube” and “Facebook” pages, other social media, and our website. A portion of our marketing budget will be allocated to developing viral videos produced by our CEO, Steve Berke. Mr. Berke has had significant successes popularizing YouTube videos in the past, including, “Pot Shop,” which generated over 15 million views. In addition to Mr. Berke’s YouTube successes, his two campaigns for mayor of Miami Beach received national coverage, including the cover of the New York Times, the cover of the Huffington Post and a 6-page spread in Maxim magazine. Mr. Berke was named one of the top eight comedians to ever run for office by ABC News. We intend to capitalize on his popularity, and reputation as a leading advocate for medical marijuana, through 4TwentyToday, a channel on YouTube and Facebook to promote the Company.

 

Celebrity and Social Influencer Endorsements: We plan to establish partnerships with influential social media personalities and celebrities in several key genres to serve as brand ambassadors. Each brand ambassador will have their own affiliate website to sell future Bang branded products. By giving a unique platform to social media influencers to monetize their followings, Bang Digital Media will be able to build brand awareness and employ an army of influencers to sell product in order to become a leading brand in the cannabis space.

 

We intend to develop our business in the following areas:

 

Bang Digital Media entered into an agreement with Elevation Ministries (the “Church”), a non-profit entity founded and controlled by our CEO and two officers of the Company, to run their digital marketing, social media, and to manage exploitation rights of their ‘Church of Cannabis’ that launched in Q2 2017. The two-year contract signed and announced in Q1 2017, is expected to generate revenue of a minimum of $240K and potentially more than a $1 million with bonuses if we meet all the incentive targets.

 

Bang Digital Media recently entered into a social media agreement with the Bhang Corporation and with Julian Marley (reggae musician and son of the legendary Bob) along with his JuJu Royal brand of ultra premium cannabis. Bang Digital Media will build on this success model, while continuing to pursue new clients to coordinate digital strategy, social media management, video production, web development, and other online marketing services.

 

Bang Technologies will focus on investing in the research and development of artificial intelligence (A.I.) — specifically with regards to its implementation within the cannabis industry.

Results of Operations

 

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

 

Revenue:

 

We have generated $163,481 in advertising revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $255 from the sale of vape products for the year ended December 31, 2016. $118,281 of the aggregate advertising revenue generated during the year ended December 31, 2017 was from the Church, a related party. (See Note 10 to the financial statements included elsewhere in this document.)

 

Bang Vapor, Inc. was dissolved in June 2017. In July 2017, the Company liquidated Bang Vapor’s remaining inventory for $15,000.

 

Cost of Goods Sold:

 

The Company wrote down inventory to net realizable value as of December 31, 2016 and recorded a loss on write-off of inventory of $72,332 for the year ended December 31, 2016 in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

7

 

Operating Expenses:

 

We incurred operating expenses of $811,304 for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $1,051,676 during the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $240,372. The decrease in operating expenses is primarily attributable to a decrease of $31,007 in professional fees and a decrease of $215,040 in general and administrative expenses offset by an increase of $5,675 in sales and marketing expenses. The decrease in professional fees is primarily due to a decrease in consulting fees of $29,042 and a decrease in accounting fees of $15,244 offset by an increase of $21,474 in legal fees. The decrease in general and administrative expense is primarily due to a decrease of $233,182 in stock options expenses and a decrease of $23,750 in SEC filing fees offset by an increase of $55,947 in stock option expense. The increase in sales and marketing is primarily due to an increase in seminars and conferences of $5,568, an increase in advertising and promotion expense of $1,932, partially offset by a decrease in web development costs of $2,505.

 

Interest Expense:

 

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $61,707 primarily attributable to the Company’s convertible notes. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded interest expense of $65,796.

 

Net Loss:

 

We had a net loss of $694,530 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to $1,189,654 for the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $495,124. The decrease in net loss is primarily due to the increase in revenue and to the decrease in operating expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. We have been funding our operations primarily through the sale of our common stock and loans.

 

Our primary uses of cash have been for payroll and operating expenses. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity in the near term:

 

Development of a company website

 

Exploration of potential marketing and advertising opportunities, and

 

The cost of being a public company

 

Our net revenues are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. At December 31, 2017, we had a cash balance of $75,335. We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, our available cash will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations without further financing. Other than working capital, we presently have no other alternative source of working capital. We may need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our Company. Therefore, our future operations may be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are unable to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.

 

8

 

We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Management has determined that additional capital will be required in the form of equity or debt securities. In addition, if we cannot raise additional short term capital we will be forced to continue to further accrue liabilities due to our limited cash reserves. There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior to the common stock. If adequate funds are not available to us when needed on satisfactory terms, we may be required to cease operating or otherwise modify our business strategy.

 

Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly.

 

Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans

 

The Company has generated minimal revenues since inception and continues to incur recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $695,000 and net cash used in operations of approximately $315,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. In addition, the Company has notes payable in default. (See Notes 5 & 6 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document.) These conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the sale of common stock and common stock warrants, convertible debentures, notes payable, exercise of common stock warrants and advertising revenue. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.

 

The Company requires immediate capital to remain viable. The Company can give no assurance that such financing will be available on terms advantageous to the Company, or at all. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all of its operational activities. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to U.S. GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

 

10

 

Our significant accounting policies (along with new accounting pronouncements) are summarized in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies and procedures, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

 

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

 

The presentation 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates during the period covered by these financial statements include the valuation of website costs, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred tax asset, stock based compensation and any beneficial conversion features on convertible debt.

 

Fair value measurements and Fair value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements . ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

 

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.

 

Due to the short-term nature of all financial assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet date.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition . In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue when the products are shipped to the customers and collectability is reasonable assured.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from advertising transactions when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, services have been performed, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

11

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB ASC Topic. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB ASC Topic 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees . In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

None.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Principle Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Principle Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such period end. Management will endeavor to enhance the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures to cause them to become effective.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

 

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2017.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee, (2) lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (3) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (4) lack of expertise with complex GAAP and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reporting matters and (5) management is dominated by one individual without adequate compensating controls. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Principal Executive and Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2017. At this time, management has decided that given the risks associated with this lack of segregation of duties, the potential benefit of adding additional personnel to clearly segregate duties does not justify the expenses associated with such benefit. Management will periodically review this matter and may make modifications, including adding additional personnel, it determines appropriate.

 

Our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that do not apply to the Company as a smaller reporting company.

(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 9B. Other Information

 

None.

 

PART III

 

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance

 

The following table sets forth the names and ages of officers and directors as of March 30, 2018. Our executive officers are elected annually by our Board of Directors. Our executive officers hold their offices until they resign, are removed by the Board, or a successor is elected and qualified.

 

Name   Age   Position
Steve Berke   36   President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Director
Adam Mutchler   38   Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Treasurer and Director
William Berke   73   Chief Medical Officer and Director

 

Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our executive officer and director for the past five years.

 

Steve Berke  was born and raised in North Miami, Florida. He graduated from Yale University in 2003. Steve has been President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company since May 2014. From 2010 through his engagement with the Company, Steve was a Sales Associate of Condonomics. Inc., a real estate company involved in sales and leasing of properties. In 2004, Mr. Berke was invited to be one of 16 young entrepreneurs on a primetime FOX network television show with Virgin Group CEO, Sir Richard Branson. Having learned the importance of branding and showmanship from his mentor Sir Richard, Mr. Berke began developing his own brand by performing stand-up comedy and creating a YouTube channel, where he produced comedic videos - which now have more than 30 million views.

 

In 2011, Mr. Berke ran for Mayor of Miami Beach against a popular two-term incumbent – he came second out of four candidates, and won almost 30 percent of the votes cast on Election Day. His unorthodox campaign utilized comedy and his YouTube channel as a vehicle to appeal to young and disenfranchised voters. Mr. Berke’s campaign gained national attention and was featured in Maxim magazine, the New York Times, the Houston Chronicle and the San Francisco Gate along with dozens of other publications from coast to coast. Two years later, Mr. Berke threw his hat in the mayoral race once more – this time with MTV2 filming his every move for a fly-on-the-wall style documentary.

 

Adam Mutchler  graduated from Yale University in 2002. Adam has been the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company since May 2014. From 2012-2013, Adam was a Freelance Producer, Project Manager and Visual Effect Manger for the films “Eden” and “Burned”. In 2012 and 2013, Adam was involved in Project Management for 5D organization. In 2011 and 2012, Adam was a Freelance Producer, Line Producer ad VFX Film and Viral Content for Steve Berke Comedy, Ghost Team One and Sixth World. He produced the feature film comedy Ghost Team One which sold to Paramount Pictures after premiering at the Slamdance Film Festival, and Eden, to be distributed by Voltage Pictures. Past credits include Swimfan, The Station Agent, Serenity and Catch That Kid. Mr. Mutchler leverages his abilities as a storyteller & filmmaker, his knack for viral content, his VFX & technical know-how, along with his ability to build and lead world-class teams in all his projects and endeavors.

 

14

 

William Berke  is a licensed family physician and has practiced medicine for more than 40 years. For 25 of those years, Dr. Berke served as a ring physician for both amateur and professional boxing federations - which included a dozen world championship bouts. He was a volunteer physician for the 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games, and also served on the Florida Governor’s Medical Advisory Committee. He is currently a Senior Medical Examiner for the Federal Aviation Administration where he has served in that role since 1996.

 

Family Relationships

 

William Berke and Steve Berke are father and son, respectively. There are no other family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

 

Board Composition and Committees and Director Independence

 

Our board of directors consists of 3 members: Steve Berke, Adam Mutchler and William Berke. The directors will serve until our next annual meeting and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The Company defines “independent” as that term is defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ listing standards.

 

In making the determination of whether a member of the board is independent, our board considers, among other things, transactions and relationships between each director and his immediate family and the Company, including those reported under the caption “Related Party Transactions”. The purpose of this review is to determine whether any such relationships or transactions are material and, therefore, inconsistent with a determination that the directors are independent. On the basis of such review and its understanding of such relationships and transactions, our board affirmatively determined that Steve Berke, Adam Mutchler and William Berke are not qualified as independent directors.

 

Board Committees

 

Our Board of Directors has no separate committees and our Board of Directors acts as the audit committee and the compensation committee.  We do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our Board of Directors.

 

Term of Office

 

Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.

 

Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:

 

been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

 

had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;

 

been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;

 

been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;

 

15

 

been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or

 

been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

 

Except as set forth in our discussion below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

The Company does not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act and therefore its directors, executive officers, and any persons holding more than ten percent of the Company’s common stock are not required to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.

 

Item 11. Executive Compensation

 

The following table sets forth information regarding compensation earned in or with respect to our fiscal year 2017 and 2016 by:

 

each person who served as our chief executive officer in 2017 and 2016; and

 

each person who served as our chief financial officer in 2017 and 2016.

 

We had no other executive officers during any part of fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 or 2016.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

On August 22, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to issue an unsecured convertible promissory note for $500,000 and security purchase agreement for 1,000,000 shares of common stock for $350,000 ($0.35 per share), respectively with a related party. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 10% and is payable on or before 12 months from the date of issuance. The Company issued the holder a total of 1,500,000 warrants exercisable at a cashless conversion price of $.35 for a period of 5 years. In addition, the note may be converted at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.35 per share, subject to adjustment.

 

The outstanding principal balance on the note at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $500,000. Accrued and unpaid interest on the note at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $168,219 and $118,219, respectively. The Company is currently in default of the note, making the entire unpaid principal and interest due and payable. See Note 6 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document. The note was purchased from the original investor by a company controlled by our CEO’s mother, Alam Berke during 2017.

 

On October 1, 2015, the Company entered into a property lease agreement with a Director of the Company and father of the President. The term of the lease is for one year with an annual rent of $30,000 per year. The Company at its option had the right to extend for 9 additional years. On July 1, 2016, the lease was cancelled and the Company entered into a new lease agreement (see below). As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company accrued rent of $22,500 and $22,500, respectively under the lease agreement and is included in due to related party at December 31, 2017 and 2016. Rent expense under the lease for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $0 and $15,000, respectively.

 

On July 1, 2016, the Company entered into a property lease agreement with a Director of the Company and father of the President. The term of the lease is for one year with an annual rent of $30,000 per year. The Company at it option has the right to extend for 10 additional years. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company accrued rent of $45,000 and $15,000, respectively, under the lease agreement and is included in due to related party at December 31, 2017 and 2016. Rent expense under the lease for year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $30,000 and $15,000, respectively.

 

On January 29, 2016, the Company’s President loaned the Company $30,000 pursuant to a convertible debenture. The Loan bears interest at 10% per annum, is due on January 29, 2017 and is convertible into common stock at the discretion of the holder. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 30,000 warrants that expire January 29, 2021. In addition, the note may be converted at any time, at the option of the holder, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.35 per share, subject to adjustment. The Company recorded a debt discount of $10,500 for the value of the warrants received. As of December 31, 2017, the Company amortized $10,500 and accrued interest of $1,911, respectively and fully paid off the note principal. See Note 6 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document.

 

In February, 2016, the Company’s President advanced the Company an additional $7,500. These amounts were repaid as of December 31, 2017.

 

Prior to July 1, 2016, the Company leased office space on a month to month basis from the Company president. The monthly rental payment was $2,000 per month. No formal lease existed under the agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded rent expense of $0 and $12,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company accrued rent of $10,000 and $28,000, respectively, and is included in due to related party at December 31, 2017 and 2016.

On December 6, 2016, the Company made a pre-payment of $10,000 to a non-profit church (the “Church”), for usage of the Church’s facilities on April 20, 2017. The Company’s CEO and director Steve Berke, CFO and director Adam Mutchler, Chief Marketing Officer Lee Molloy along with William Berke, director and Alam Berke, the parents of Steve Berke, are members of the board of directors of the Church. In addition, the Church’s facilities are housed in a property owned by a Company controlled by Steve Berke and William and Alam Berke.

 

On March 20, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with the Church to provide social media services. The agreement is for two years, starting April 1, 2017, and the Company will be compensated $10,000 monthly along with compensation based on online views and impressions (the “performance based compensation”) calculated at a cost per thousand (“CPM”) of $10, to be calculated and paid by the Church on a monthly basis. The CPM rate can be modified by the Company, at its sole discretion, every ninety days to reflect prevailing market rates. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded revenue of $118,281 related to the agreement which included performance based compensation of $28,281. These sales are included in advertising sales – related party in the consolidated statements of operations.  As of December 31, 2017, the Company is reflecting an accounts receivable balance due from the Church of $88,281 and is shown separately on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

On August 23, 2017, the Company sold, under a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), 150,000 shares of common stock, and a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.35 per share for a purchase price of $150,000 to a company controlled by our CEO’s mother, Alam Berke.

 

Director Independence

 

We do not have any independent directors. Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

 

the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;

 

the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

 

a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;

 

the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);

 

the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

 

the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

 

We do not currently have a separately designated audit, nominating or compensation committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of:
Bang Holdings, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bang Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for each of the two years then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss of approximately $694,000, a working capital deficit of approximately $1,166,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $4,342,000. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regards to these matters are described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

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 controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

F- 2

 

 

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures including examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also include evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

BANG HOLDINGS CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

 

(A) Organization

 

Bang Holdings Corp. was incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 13, 2014. The Company was organized to develop and sell E-Cigarette products.

 

Bang Vapor, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Florida on October 27, 2014. The Company was organized to develop and sell E-Cigarette products. Bang Vapor, Inc. was dissolved in June 2017.

 

Bang Digital Media, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Florida on November 23, 2015. The Company was organized to develop digital and electronic media.

 

Bang Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Colorado on March 27, 2018. Bang Technologies will focus on investing in the research and development of artificial intelligence (A.I.) — specifically with regards to its implementation within the cannabis industry.

 

(B) Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

(C) Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bang Holdings Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Bang Vapor, Inc. (from October 27, 2014 through June 7, 2017) and Bang Digital Media, Inc. (from November 23, 2015) and are hereafter referred to as (the “Company’). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

(D) Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans

 

The Company has generated minimal revenues since inception and continues to incur recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $695,000 and net cash used in operations of approximately $315,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. In addition, the Company has notes payable in default (see Notes 5 & 6). These conditions indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the sale of common stock and common stock warrants, convertible debentures, notes payable and exercise of common stock warrants. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.

 

The Company requires immediate capital to remain viable. The Company can give no assurance that such financing will be available on terms advantageous to the Company, or at all. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all of its operational activities. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

F- 8

 

Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(A) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

(B) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

 

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates during the period covered by these financial statements include the valuation of website costs, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred tax asset, stock based compensation and beneficial conversion features on convertible debt.

 

(C) Fair value measurements and Fair value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.

 

Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.

 

Due to the short-term nature of all financial assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet dates.

 

(D) Computer and Equipment and Website Costs

 

Computer Equipment and Website Costs are capitalized at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is three to five years for all categories. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for betterments and renewals are capitalized. The cost of computer equipment and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts upon retirement or disposal with any resulting gain or loss being recorded in operations.

 

F- 9

 

Software maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for enhanced functionality are capitalized.

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 350-50-15, “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs.” Costs inured in the planning stage of a website are expensed as research and development while costs incurred in the development stage are capitalized and amortized over the life of the asset, estimated to be three years.

 

    Depreciation/
    Amortization
Asset Category   Period
Furniture and fixtures   5 Years
Computer equipment   3 Years
Website costs   3 Years

 

Computer and equipment and website costs consisted of the following:

 

   

December 31,

2017

   

December 31,

2016

 
             
Computer equipment   $ 11,745     $ 6,845  
Website development     -       -  
Total     11,745       6,845  
Impairments     -       -
Accumulated depreciation     (5,157 )     (2,789 )
Balance   $ 6,588     $ 4,056  

 

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $2,368 and $1,369, respectively.

 

(E) Inventories

 

The Company’s inventories consisted entirely of purchased finished goods. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. The Company wrote down inventory to net realizable value as of December 31, 2016 and recorded an inventory valuation allowance of $72,332 and a loss on write-off of inventory of $72,332 for the year ended December 31, 2016 in the consolidated statements of operations. In July 2017, the inventory was sold for $15,000 to a third party. The Company had no inventory as of December 31, 2017.

 

(F) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic. 605 “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue when the products are shipped to the customers and collectability is reasonable assured.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from advertising transactions when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, services have been performed, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

F- 10

 

(G)Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company determines if receivables are past due based on days outstanding, and amounts are written off when determined to be uncollectible by management.

 

(H) Significant Customers

 

The Company’s business focuses on securing a smaller number of high quality, highly profitable projects, which sometimes results in having a concentration of sales and accounts receivable among a few customers. This concentration is customary among the design and build industry for a company of our size. As we continue to grow and are awarded more projects, this concentration will continue to decrease.

 

At December 31, 2017 the Company had two customers representing 92%, a related party (See Note 10), and 8% of the total accounts receivable balance.

 

At December 31, 2016, the Company had no accounts receivable balance.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company had two customers that represented 72%, a related party (See Note 10), and 25% of the total advertising revenue and for the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company had one customer that represented 100% of the total revenue.

 

(I) Advertising, Marketing and Promotion Costs

 

Advertising, marketing and promotion expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, advertising, marketing and promotion expense was $50,372 and $48,440, respectively.

 

(J) Segments

 

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

 

(K) Loss Per Share

 

The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The Company had 1,769,107 shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants and 1,974,931 shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes payable that were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive for year ended December 31, 2017. The Company had 2,029,107 shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants and 1,826,407 shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes payable that were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive for year ended December 31, 2016.

 

(L) Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB ASC Topic. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

 

F- 11

 

Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB ASC Topic 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

 

(M) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), 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 provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions 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 at 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 benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed 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 more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

 

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 and 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. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed.

 

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax Act makes changes to U.S. tax law, including a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. As a result of the enacted law, the Company was required to revalue deferred tax assets and liabilities at the enacted rate. The revaluation resulted in a $313,614 reduction in the Company’s net deferred tax asset. Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexity involved in applying the provisions of the Tax Act, the Company has made reasonable estimates of the effects in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017. 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, the SEC, and other standard-setting bodies, it may make adjustments to the provisional amounts. The accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act will be completed in 2018.

 

F- 12

 

The Company’s income tax expense differs from the “expected” tax expense for federal income tax purpose by applying the Federal & State blended rate of 37.63% as follows:

 

    2017     2016  
Expected income tax (benefit) expense at the statutory rate of 37.63%   $ (261,352 )   $ (447,667 )
Tax effect of expenses that are not deductible for income tax purposes (net of other amounts deductible for tax purposes)     73,990       145,015  
Tax rate change     310,140        
Deferred tax true-up     1,731       21,260  
Change in valuation allowance     (124,509 )     281,392  
Provision for income taxes   $     $  

 

The components of deferred income taxes are as follows:

 

    2017     2016  
Deferred income tax asset:                
Fixed assets   $     $ 2,154  
Inventory valuation allowance           27,219  
Accrued payroll and related expenses - officer     92,596       75,106  
Net operating loss carryforwards     547,248       659,874  
Valuation allowance     (639,844 )     (764,353 )
Deferred income taxes   $     $  

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $2.2 million, and a deferred tax asset related to the timing difference on accrued officer payroll of $365,342 available to offset future taxable income. This results in deferred tax assets of approximately $640,000 as of December 31, 2017. The valuation allowance decreased during the year ended December 31, 2017 by approximately $125,000. Tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017 remain open to Internal Revenue Service and State audits.

 

(N) Shipping and Handling Costs

 

The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenue and shipping and handling costs to customers as cost of revenue.

 

(O) Reclassifications

 

Certain items in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

(P) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15,  Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern.  The Update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2013-300-Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Going Concern Presumption, which has been deleted. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-15 on January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 did not materially impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

F- 13

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging” (topic 815). The FASB issued this update to clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in this update is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-06 on January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-06 did not materially impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company early adopted this ASU on October 1, 2017, and expects that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on future consolidated financial statements.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including the Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC, did not or are not believed by the Company management, to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – PREPAID EXPENSES

 

On November 12, 2015, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $50,000 for a consulting agreement expiring on February 1, 2016.

The balance in prepaid expenses related to the above common stock issuance was $0 as of December 31, 2016.

 

On December 6, 2016, the Company made a pre-payment of $10,000 to a non-profit church (the “Church”), a related party, for usage of the Church’s facilities on April 20, 2017. (See Note 10). The balance in prepaid expenses related to the above pre-payment was $0 and $10,000 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

NOTE 4 – LOAN PAYABLE

The note bears interest at an annual rate of 10% and is payable on or before 12 months from the date of issuance.

On January 29, 2016, the Company’s President loaned the Company $30,000 pursuant to a convertible debenture. The Loan bears interest at 10% per annum, became due on January 29, 2017 and is convertible into common stock at the discretion of the holder at a conversion price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Pursuant to the note agreement, for a period of one year following the Initial Closing Date, the Company shall agree to or not issue any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the conversion price in effect at such time without the consent of the purchaser, then the conversion price shall be reduced to such lower price. Under ASC 815-40-15, the Company is required to account for convertible debt with reset provisions when the following three items are present (1) one or more underlying amounts or payments are required (2) no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts (3) its terms require or permit net settlement, it can be readily settled net by means outside the contract or it provides for delivery of an asset that puts the recipient in a position not substantially different from the net settlement. ASC 815-40-15 further defines the requirement that the assets are readily convertible to cash. During 2016, due to the lack of a public market for the Company’s securities, the Company determined that the convertible notes payable were not readily convertible to cash and therefore no derivative liability was recorded.

 

In addition, the Company agreed to issue 30,000 warrants with an exercise price of $1.50 per share that expire on January 29, 2021. The Company recorded a debt discount of $10,500 for the value of the warrants received. As of December 31, 2016, the debt discount on the note was fully amortized. Amortization of the debt discount on the note for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $10,500.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the note principal was repaid. Accrued and unpaid interest on the note at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $1,911.
