NATURE’S BEST BRANDS, INC.

 

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and September 30 2017

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Nature’s Best Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Florida corporation organized under the name Hip Cuisine, Inc. on March 19, 2014. The Company changed its corporate name to Nature’s Best Brand, Inc. on June 15, 2018. The Company has two subsidiaries, Hip Cuisine, Inc. (“Hip Cuisine”), a Panama corporation incorporated on February 24, 2014, and Rawkin Juice, Inc., a California corporation incorporated on November 7, 2016. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

The Company, through its subsidiaries, operated four restaurants that offer healthy food, coffee and juice, two in Panama and two in California. The Company is in the process of discontinuing its restaurant business, and expects to do so in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company may not be able to sublease or assign its existing leases on a non-recourse basis, in which case, the Company will continue to have obligations under the leases to the extent that any subtenant or assignee does not comply with the lease terms, including the payment of rent.

 

The Company plans to change its business direction and negotiate a non-exclusive distribution agreement with a manufacturer of medical device systems used for various forms of screening which provides physicians and medical professionals with useful data utilized for maximizing the management of patients’ health, and upon entering into such an agreement, to market the equipment. The Company has never generated any revenue from such business, and the Company can give no assurance that it can or will ever successfully negotiate a distribution agreement on acceptable terms, compete in the marketing of medical equipment, operate profitably or generate positive cash flow.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Going concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues since inception and is in the process of discontinuing its restaurant business. As at September 30, 2018, the Company has an accumulated loss from operations of $2,984,767 and it sustained an operating loss of $1,064,170 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to develop its proposed business of marketing medical devices used for screening, to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations as they become due. The ability of the Company to raise financing may be impaired by the terms of the Company’s outstanding convertible notes and warrants.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Notes to the unaudited interim financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

These consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Table of Contents

 

Foreign Currency Translation and Re-measurement

 

The Company’s functional currency and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Hip Cuisine, which operated two restaurants in Panama, is the Panamanian Balboa. All transactions initiated in Panamanian Balboa are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements.” Since the Panamanian Balboa is pegged with the U.S. dollar at par, the Company recognized no gain or loss on foreign exchange translations during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017.

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $86,555 and $87,102 in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 820,  Fair Value Measurements  (“ASC Topic 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value which focuses on an exit price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard also prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity specific information and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

 

The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; liabilities in active markets;

 

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; or directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;

 

Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, convertible notes and stockholder’s loan. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risks

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.

Related Parties

 

The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions (see Note 7).

 

Prepaid and Deposits

 

Prepaid and deposits balances relate to security deposits for restaurant leases, prepaid rent and prepaid insurance. The prepaid balances and deposits will be amortized as the related expense is incurred.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method. The depreciation and amortization methods are designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives, in years, of the respective assets as follows:

 

Equipment

5 Years

Furniture and Fixtures

5 Years

Leasehold Improvement

3 Years

Construction in Progress

7 Years

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in income.

 

The long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC No. 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC No. 360”), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, no impairment losses have been identified.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

We account for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. In addition, ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units; assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the occurrence of one or more confirming events in future periods could cause the actual results or outcomes to materially differ from such estimates and could also affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment at future reporting dates.

 

No impairment loss was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017.

 

The cost of intangible assets with determinable useful lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, either on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited. Patents, technology and other intangibles with contractual terms are generally amortized over their respective legal or contractual lives. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, an impairment assessment is performed and lives of intangible assets with determinable lives may be adjusted.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and services in accordance with ASC 606,” Revenue Recognition ” following the five steps procedure:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with customers

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation

 

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies its obligation by transferring control of the good or service to the customer. A performance obligation is satisfied over time if one of the following criteria are met:

 

 

a.

the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the entity performs;

 

b.

the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced; or

 

c.

the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity, and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

 

Since the Company’s revenues are generated when products are sold with no remaining obligations on the part of the Company, revenue is recognized at the time of sale.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

ASC 718,  “Compensation - Stock Compensation,”  prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “ Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.”  Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $184,670 and $251,360 from the issuance of 197,000 and 233,000 shares of common stock to the consultants for services.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ‘These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. The ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity—Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company does not currently expect the adoption to have any significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Adoption of New Accounting Standards.

 

We have adopted the following recent accounting pronouncement in these financial statements with no significant impact on reported financial position, results of operations or cash flow: 

 

ASU 2014-09, Revenue  - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new standard, as amended, requires that we recognize revenue in the amount to which we expect to be entitled for delivery of promised goods and services to our customers. The new standard also resulted in enhanced revenue-related disclosures, including any significant judgments and changes in judgments. Additionally, the new standard requires the deferral of incremental direct selling costs to the period in which the related revenue is recognized.

 

We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach applied to all contracts that were not completed at adoption based on the contract terms in existence at adoption. No adjustment was required to beginning retained earnings as a result of this adoption and none of the enhanced revenue-related disclosures were required.

W arrants

 

The Company accounted for the issuance of Warrants in connection with the issuance of convertible notes as an equity instrument and recognized the warrants under the Black-Scholes valuation model based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date at the exercise price of $1.20 per share. The holders of the warrants have piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

 

The exercise price of the warrants is subject to adjustment in the event of any issuance of common stock or convertible securities with respect to which the purchase price or the conversion or exercise price is less than the exercise price of the warrants. The adjusted exercise price would be the purchase price per share or exercise price per share in the dilutive issuance. Unlike the comparable provisions in the convertible notes, there are no excluded issuances, so any dilutive issuance, even an issuance which would not result in an adjustment of the conversion price of the convertible notes, would result in an adjustment in the exercise price of the warrants.

NOTE 11 – ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

 

On August 20, 2018, the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary Unisource Acquisition Corp. (“Acquisition Sub”), and Unisource Health, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Unisource”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which Acquisition Sub was to be merged with and into Unisource, and Unisource would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to Acquisition Agreement, the Company was to issue to the six holders of Unisource’s common stock a total of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Prior to the execution of the Acquisition Agreement, there was no relationship between the Company and Unisource or its stockholders, except that Lawrence Biggs, the chief executive officer and largest stockholder of Unisource, owned 251,319 shares of common stock, representing approximately 2.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. One other Unisource stockholder owned 50,000 shares of common stock.

 

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Subsequent to September 30, 2018 and through November 14, 2018, the date that these financials were made available, the Company had the following subsequent events:

 

In connection with the change of management and the Company’s new business direction subsequent to September 30, 2018, the Company intends to discontinue the restaurant business and negotiate a non-exclusive distribution agreement with a manufacturer of medical device systems used for various forms of screening which provides physicians and medical professionals with useful data utilized for maximizing the management of patients’ health, and upon entering into such an agreement, to market the equipment. As a result, the Company expects that, during the fourth quarter of 2018, it will recognize an impairment charge with respect to the intangible assets and goodwill associated with its restaurant business and is evaluating possible impairment charges with respect to the property, plant and equipment associated with the restaurant business.

 

On October 9, 2018, the Company terminated the Acquisition Agreement with Unisource (see Note 11) as a result of a breach by Unisource of its representations and warranties contained in the Acquisition Agreement.

 

On October 11, 2018, the Company paid $180,000 and issued 75,000 shares of common stock, valued at $1.20 per share, were issued to the lender to settle the principal amount and the warrants from the promissory note originally issued on March 8, 2018 and amended on August 20, 2018. The Company has no further obligations related to this note after the repayment and share issuance.

 

On November 5, 2018, the Company entered into employment agreements dated October 31, 2018 with Lawrence Biggs and Justin E. Anderson.

 

Pursuant to Mr. Biggs’ employment agreement, the Company agrees to employ Mr. Biggs as its Chief Executive officer for a term ending on December 31, 2021, which continues thereafter on a year-to-year basis unless terminated by Mr. Biggs or the Company on not less than 30 days’ prior written notice. As compensation for his services, on November 5, 2018, we issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at $1.17 per share, which was the closing price for the common stock on November 5, 2018, for a total of $5,850,000, and the Company agreed to pay Mr. Biggs an annual salary of $300,000, which will commence at such time as the Company has raised $2,000,000 from the private placement of our equity securities, at which time the Company believes it will have the funds to enable it to pay his salary.

 

Pursuant to Mr. Anderson’s employment agreement, the Company agreed to employ Mr. Anderson as Chief Operating Officer for a term ending on October 31, 2021, which continues thereafter on a year-to-year basis unless terminated by Mr. Anderson or the Company on not less than 30 days’ prior written notice. Mr. Anderson has other business activities which do not conflict with his duties to the Company. As compensation for his services, the Company will issue to Mr. Anderson 250,000 shares per year. On November 5, 2018, the Company issued to Mr. Anderson the initial 250,000 shares, which are valued at $1.17 per share for a total of $292,500. The Company is to issue 250,000 shares on each of October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2020.

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

 

Overview

 

Through our subsidiaries, we operated four restaurants that offer healthy food, coffee and juice, two in Panama and two in California. We are in the process of discontinuing our restaurant business, and we expect to do so in the fourth quarter of 2018. We presently have lease obligations for three of our restaurants. We are attempting to sublease our restaurants or assign the restaurant leases. However, we may not be able to sublease or assign the leases on a non-recourse basis, which means that we may still have a continuing liability with respect to some or all of our leases until the leases expire to the extent that any subtenant or assignee does not comply with the lease terms, including the payment of rent.

 

We are in the process of changing the direction of our business. We intend to negotiate a non-exclusive distribution agreement with a manufacturer of medical device systems used for various forms of screening which provides physicians and medical professionals with useful data utilized for maximizing the management of patients’ health, and upon entering into such an agreement, to market the equipment. We never generated any revenue from such business, and we can give no assurance that we can or will ever successfully negotiate a distribution agreement on acceptable terms, compete in the marketing of medical equipment, operate profitably or generate positive cash flow.

 

As a result of our proposed change in the direction of our business, we expects that, during the fourth quarter of 2018, we will recognize an impairment charge with respect to the intangible assets and goodwill associated with our restaurant business, which was $57,727 at September 30, 2018, and we are evaluating possible impairment charges with respect to the property, plant and equipment associated with the restaurant business, which was $502,505.

 

In connection with employment agreements with our newly appointed chief executive officer and chief operating officer, we issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at $5,850,000, to the chief executive officer and 250,000 shares of common stock, valued at $292,500, to the chief operating officer. These shares are fully vested on issuance, with the result that we will incur a non-cash compensation expense of $6,142,500 in the fourth quarter of 2018.

 

In view of the change in our business direction, the information relating to our operations and cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 will not have any relevance to our future business operations.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we generated revenue of $91,914 compared to $203,327 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The revenues generated by we were primarily related to restaurant sales. The decrease in revenues was primarily related to the remodeling of the Santa Monica location, which resulted in decreased sales during the period. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $33,491, resulting in a gross profit of $58,423, compared to cost of goods sold of $90,927 and gross profit $112,400 from the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Table of Contents

 

As of September 30, 2018, we experienced a decrease in our working capital of $561,580. The decrease in working capital during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily from increase in current liabilities mainly due to increase in short-term convertible notes payable and short-term advances from stockholders.

 

Cash Flows

 

We fund our operations with cash generated from restaurant sales revenue and, in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, proceeds from the issuances of convertible notes and advances from stockholders and in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the sale of common stock.

 

Operating Activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash used in operating activities was $397,128, principally reflecting our net loss of $1,064,170 decreased by a decrease in prepaid expenses of $2,195, and increased by depreciation and amortization of $148,956, stock based compensation of $189,242, amortization on note discount $189,242, loss on extinguishment of debt of $89,000, an increase in accounts payable of $26,372, an increase in sales tax payable of $11,796 and an increase in accrued interest of $6,751.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, net cash used in investing activities was $618 for equipment purchase compared to net cash used of $361,346 related to the acquisition of building and equipment for our restaurants during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

  Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $397,199 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 mainly attributed to cash proceeds from issuance of convertible notes for $287,500 and advances from stockholders of $154,948 offset by repayment to related party for $39,000 and repayment of bank loans at $6,249.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $769,292 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 mainly attributed to cash proceeds from issuance of common stock for $1,000,000. We also repaid notes of $167,500, bank loans of $5,558 and related party loans of $57,650 from the proceeds of the stock sale. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Table of Contents

 

Going concern

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have generated significant revenues since inception. As at September 30, 2018, we have an accumulated loss of $2,984,767 and we sustained a loss of $1,064,170 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Our continuing operations are dependent upon our ability to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future and pay our liabilities arising from normal business operations as they become due and we require significant additional funding for our operations and our growth. Our ability to raise financing may be impaired by the terms of our outstanding convertible notes and warrants, and we cannot assure you that we can or will be able to raise funds on favorable, if any terms. Any financing involving equity or convertible securities could result in significant dilution to our stockholders and could result in a significant reset in the exercise price of outstanding warrants and the conversion price of our outstanding debt and could significantly impair the price of our common stock.

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item. 

 

ITEM 4:   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES  

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2018, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls were not effective as of September 30, 2018, such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the president and treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the period ended September 30, 2018, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
