Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Avalanche International, Corp. (the “Company” or “Avalanche” ) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 14, 2011. The Company is a holding company with operations at the subsidiary level only. The Company has formed two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Smith and Ramsay Brands, LLC ( “SRB” ) and Restaurant Capital Group, LLC ( “RCG” ). SRB was formed on May 19, 2014, and RCG was formed on October 22, 2015. SRB was originally formed as a manufacturer and distributor of flavored liquids for electronic vaporizers and eCigarettes and accessories; this business ceased in June 2015. RCG was formed to hold the Company’s investments in the restaurant industry.

 

2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses and reported losses available to common stockholders for the nine months ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, totaling $674,155 and $1,506,480, respectively, as well as an accumulated deficit as of August 31, 2016 amounting to $3,886,972. As a result of the Company’s continued losses, at August 31, 2016, the Company’s current liabilities significantly exceed current assets, resulting in negative working capital of $2,614,313. Further, the Company does not have adequate cash to cover projected operating costs for twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements and to repay convertible notes payable and notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $679,278 that are in default at August 31, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In order to ensure the continued viability of the Company, either future equity or debt financings must be obtained or profitable operations must be achieved in order to repay the existing short-term debt and to provide a sufficient source of operating capital. To address its liquidity issues, the Company continues to explore opportunities for additional financing and/or restructuring of its existing debt. No assurances can be made that the Company will be successful obtaining additional equity or debt financing and/or in restructuring existing debt, or that the Company will achieve profitable operations and positive cash flow. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Further, subsequent to year end the Company has primarily funded its operations through the issuance of additional debt financings (see Note 12).

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ( “GAAP” ). The Company has made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially from our estimates. The consolidated financial information is unaudited but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2015, filed with the SEC on April 28, 2017.  Results for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending November 30, 2016.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of Avalanche and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SRB and RCG (collectively referred to as the “Company” ). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with 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. The Company’s critical accounting policies that involve significant judgment and estimates include fair value of bifurcated embedded conversion options and derivative warrant liabilities and the valuation of deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s significant financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, notes payable, and convertible notes payable. The recorded values of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. Notes payable and convertible notes payable are recorded inclusive of the value of any bifurcated embedded feature, which approximates their fair value.

 

Equity-Linked Financial Instruments

 

Derivative liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value based on the criteria specified in Financial Accounting Standards Board ( “FASB” ) Accounting Standards Codification ( “ASC” ) Topic 815-15 – Derivatives and Hedging – Embedded Derivatives ( “ASC 815-15” ). The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including embedded conversion features in convertible debt and warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 815-15 an evaluation of the embedded conversion feature of convertible debt is evaluated to determine if the embedded debt conversion feature is required to be bifurcated from the debt instrument, valued and classified with the related loan host instrument. When the terms of the embedded conversion features of the Company’s convertible debt provides for the issuance of shares of common stock at the election of the holders and the number of shares is subject to adjustment for a decline in the price of the Company’s common stock, the Company determined that the embedded conversion option should be bifurcated. The estimated fair value of the conversion features, when bifurcated, are primarily determined using a Monte Carlo model or, in certain circumstances, the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The models utilize Level 3 unobservable inputs to calculate the fair value of the derivative liabilities at each reporting period. The Company determined that in instances where a Black-Scholes option pricing model was used that using an alternative valuation model such as a Monte Carlo model would result in minimal differences. Each reporting period the embedded conversion feature for each applicable debt instrument is re-valued and adjusted through the caption “change in fair value of derivative liability” on the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Certain of the Company’s convertible notes issued during the year ended November 30, 2015 contain conversion terms that provide for a variable conversion price (e.g. 55% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock for the 25 days preceding conversion) for a fixed amount (i.e. face value of the note). This results in the number of shares to be issued upon conversion to be essentially indeterminable and prevents the Company from concluding that the related conversion feature does not need to be bifurcated as a derivate liability in accordance with ASC 815. Thus, equity-linked financial instruments, which are convertible or exercisable into common stock, issued subsequent to the convertible notes are classified as derivative liabilities, with the exception of instruments related to employee share-based compensation.

 

Warrant Liability

 

The Company accounts for certain common stock warrants outstanding as a liability at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants issued by the Company has been estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, at each measurement date.

 

Debt Discounts

 

The Company accounts for debt discounts originating in connection with conversion features that remain embedded in the related notes in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options . These costs are classified on the consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability. The Company amortizes these costs over the term of its debt agreements as interest expense-debt discount in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

Sequencing

 

As of March 1, 2016, the Company adopted a sequencing policy whereby all future instruments may be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, the Company’s revenues primarily consisted of services provided under the management services agreement with Alzamend. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, the Company’s revenues consisted solely of sales of flavored liquids for electronic vaporizers and eCigarettes and accessories from SRB.

 

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic No. 260, Earnings per Share, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic net income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if diluted instruments were to be exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company.

 

Since the effects of the conversion of convertible debt are anti-dilutive in all periods presented, shares of common stock underlying these instruments have been excluded from the computation of loss per common share.

 

The following sets forth the number of shares of common stock underlying convertible debt as of August 31, 2016 and 2015:

 

    August 31,  
    2016     2015  
Convertible notes payable     11,987,571       2,254,942  
Conversion of preferred stock     -       528,193  
Common stock warrants 1     75,000       -  
Total     12,062,571       2,783,135  

 

(1) The Company has excluded the 100,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.01 per share in its anti-dilutive securities but included the warrants in its weighted average shares outstanding.

 

The following table sets forth the inputs for the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the period indicated:

 

    For the Three
Months Ended
August 31, 2016
 
Income:      
Net income (loss)   $ 316,220

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-9,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)  (“ASU 2014-9”). ASU 2014-9 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB subsequently issued additional clarifying standards to address issues arising from implementation of the new revenue standard, including a one-year deferral of the effective date for the new revenue standard. Public companies should now apply the guidance in ASU 2014-9 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that annual period. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt ASU 2014-9. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosures.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,  Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern , which defines management’s responsibility to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures if there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . The new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-17 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-2,  Leases (Topic 842) . Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-2 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted for all public business entities and all nonpublic business entities upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-9,  Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . The amendments are intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-9 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

4. WARRANTS  

 

During the nine months ended August 31, 2016, the Company issued a total of 175,000 warrants at an average exercise price of $0.13 per share.

 

(i) On December 2, 2015, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $0.01 per share of common stock in connection with the issuance of a promissory note to Livingston in the aggregate principal amount of $125,000 (See Note 7d).

  

(ii) On January 20, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with LG Capital Funding, LLC to amend the terms of a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $50,000. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company issued to LG Capital 75,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.30 per share (See Note 6f).

  

The following table summarizes information about common stock warrants outstanding at August 31, 2016:

 

Outstanding     Exercisable
          Weighted                  
          Average   Weighted         Weighted
          Remaining   Average         Average
Exercise   Number     Contractual   Exercise     Number   Exercise
Price   Outstanding     Life (Years)   Price     Exercisable   Price
$0.01   100,000     0.25   $ 0.01     100,000   $ 0.01
$0.30   75,000     2.39   $ 0.30     75,000   $ 0.30
$0.01 - $0.30   175,000     1.17   $ 0.13     175,000   $ 0.13

  

The Company valued the warrants at their date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model is dependent upon several variables such as the warrants’ term, exercise price, current stock price, risk-free interest rate and estimated volatility of our stock over the contractual term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate used in the calculations is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the contractual life of the warrants.

 

The following weighted average assumptions were used for grants during the nine months ended August 31, 2016:

 

    August 31, 2016
Weighted average risk-free interest rate   0.52%
Weighted average life (in years)   2.0
Volatility   167.9% — 184.9%
Expected dividend yield   0%
Weighted average grant-date fair value per
share of warrants granted

On April 13, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to finance a new restaurant owned by Philo Group, LLC (“ Philo ”). Between April 13, 2016 and August 31, 2016, the Company provided $250,000 in financing to Philo under the terms of a Senior Secured Property Note dated April 4, 2016, as amended (the “ Philo Note ”). The Philo Note bears interest at a rate of sixteen percent (16%) per annum, requires monthly interest payments, and was due within six (6) months from the date of issue. Due to delays in the opening of the restaurant, the Philo Note has not yet been repaid and is in default. The Company has not made a formal demand upon Philo for payment but has reserved its rights as provided for in the Philo Note. The Company is currently in discussions with Philo regarding payment of the Philo Note and actively monitoring the restaurant operations. The Philo Note features an original issue discount of $75,000 and allows for legal fees up to $5,000. The Philo Note is personally guaranteed by the principal of Philo and secured by all assets of Philo. In addition, the principal of Philo has agreed to further secure the loan by pledging several pieces of real property located in California.

 

The original issue discount of $75,000 on the Philo Note is being amortized as interest income through the maturity date using the interest rate method. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, the Company recorded $37,912 and $59,753, respectively, of interest income from the discount accretion and $13,107 and $21,315, respectively, of interest income based upon the 16% contractual rate.

  

JS Technologies, Inc.

 

On August 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Secured Promissory Note (the “JST Note”) with JS Technologies, Inc. (“JST”). Under the JST Note, the Company entered into an agreement to lend up to $400,000 to JST in order to provide short-term financing pending the Company’s proposed acquisition of JST. The JST Note accrues interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and was due on August 5, 2016. The JST Note is secured by substantially all of the assets of JST. Between December 3, 2015 and February 26, 2016, the Company loaned JST $120,000 pursuant to the term of the JST Note, which included an original issue discount of $13,333 to the overall JST Note. Of the $120,000 loaned to JST, a payment of $95,000 was made by the Company and a payment of $25,000 was made by MCKEA Holdings, LLC (“ MCKEA ) directly to JST on the Company’s behalf. The note receivable fully repaid on June 15, 2016 by payments of $48,333 by JST and JST’s payment of $85,000 directly to a third-party noteholder. The $85,000 payments made by JST reduced the Company’s outstanding note payable.

 

The original issue discount of $13,333 on the JST Note was amortized as interest income using the effective interest rate method. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, the Company recorded nil and $13,333, respectively, of interest income from the discount accretion and nil and $5,326, respectively, of interest income based upon the 10% contractual rate.

Accounting for Redemption Feature - Put Option

 

Management determined that the variable share settlement feature as a “conversion feature” as defined above represents, in substance, a put option (redemption feature) because the value of the variable share settlement feature does not depend on the issuer’s stock price and does not vary with the value of the shares. Management determined that this put option should be bifurcated from the notes and accounted for as a separate derivative liability primarily because the number of shares issuable upon net share settlement is indeterminate. The Company does not have a sufficient quantity of authorized but unissued shares and, therefore, the put option does not meet conditions necessary for it to be classified in stockholders’ equity.

 

The put option, with a fair value of approximately $1.2 million at inception, was recorded as a derivative liability on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding discount to the note. The Company accreted the discount to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations over the term of the note using the effective interest method. During the three months ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized aggregate interest expense of $77,401 and $164,685, respectively, resulting from accreting the discount for the above convertible promissory notes. During the nine months ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized interest expense of $336,269 and $248,863, respectively, resulting from accreting the discount for the above convertible promissory notes. The issuance date fair value in excess of the principal amount of the notes is reflected as excess interest on issuance of convertible debt. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, excess interest on issuance amounted to $7,614 and $78,675, respectively. In January 2016, the Company issued 457,619 shares of common stock in payment of principal and accrued interest on three of its convertible notes. The shares were valued based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance, $183,048, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $154,694. The accrued interest associated with the convertible notes was $147,899 as of August 31, 2016. All long-term notes are due in fiscal year 2019.

 

(a) The Adar Bays, LLC and Union Capital, LLC convertible notes payable were due and payable 12 months after issuance date of May 11, 2015 with interest at 8% per annum. At the election of the holder, outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the notes were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price per share equal to a forty percent (40%) discount to the lowest trading price for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the notice of conversion. If these notes were not paid at maturity, the outstanding principal due under these notes shall increase by 10%. In January 2016, the notes were amended to decrease the conversion price per share to a forty-five percent (45%) discount to the lowest trading price for the twenty-five (25) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the notice of conversion, and the pre-payment penalty was increased to 150%. The notes were not repaid on the maturity date of May 12, 2016 and as such were in default as of August 31, 2016. The Company recorded a default penalty charge of $11,500 for each note, representing 10% of the outstanding principal balance of these notes, as a component of interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of August 31, 2016, there were 1,900,826 shares issuable upon conversion for each note.

 

On January 23, 2018, the Company, Adar Bays, LLC and Union Capital, LLC entered into Note Settlement and Termination Agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreements, the Company agreed to satisfy each of the outstanding notes for $200,000 in cash and 100,000 shares of common stock. The payments were made on January 26, 2018. The closing price of the Company's common stock on January 23, 2018 was $1.40 per share resulting in an aggregate settlement amount of $340,000 for each note.

 

(b) The Typenex Co-Investment, LLC convertible note payable was due and payable 13 months after its issuance date of May 29, 2015 with interest at 10% per annum. At the election of the holder, outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the note are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price per share equal to $1.30. However, in the event the Company’s market capitalization falls below $3.0 million at any time, the conversion price per share shall be equal to the lower of $1.30 or the market price at the date of conversion.  The note was not repaid on the maturity date of June 29, 2016 and as such was in default as of August 31, 2016. The Company recorded a default penalty of $18,200 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of August 31, 2016, there were 2,272,727 shares issuable upon conversion of this note.

(c) The Gary Gelbfish convertible note payable was due and payable six months after its issuance date of March 27, 2015 with interest at 10% per annum.

The fair value of the warrants amounted to $26,250, which was expensed at the time of issuance due to the short-term nature of the note.

(i) The JLA Realty convertible note payable is due and payable 36 months after proceeds have been received by the Company, which occurred between April 25, 2016 and August 8, 2016 with interest at 12% per annum.

Note B was convertible into DPW’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.85 per share, does not bear interest, and matured two years from issuance. However, WT Johnson did not have the right to convert any portion of Note B, following receipt by WT Johnson of an aggregate of $2,267,766 of gross proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock issued upon conversion of Note A or Note B.

 

During December 2017, DPW issued 600,000 shares of its common stock upon the conversion of Note A and WT Johnson notified DPW that gross proceeds during the month of December 2017 from sales of the 600,000 shares of common stock were sufficient to satisfy the entire $2,267,766 obligation. As a result of entering into the exchange agreement with WT Johnson, MTIX is obligated to pay DPW $2,668,266, consisting of the amount of the exchange agreement of $2,267,766 and a value added tax of $400,500 from the sale of the Textile Multi-Laser Enhancement Technology Machine.

General

 

Avalanche International Corp. (the “Company” or “Avalanche”) is a holding company currently engaged in acquiring and/or developing businesses in which the Company maintains a controlling interest. The Company anticipates that its subsidiaries will be engaged in a number of diverse business activities. The Company initially had two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Smith and Ramsay Brands, LLC (“SRB”) and Restaurant Capital Group, LLC (“RCG”). SRB was formed on May 19, 2014, and RCG was formed on October 22, 2015. SRB was originally formed as a manufacturer and distributor of flavored liquids for electronic vaporizers and eCigarettes and accessories; this business was discontinued in June 2015. RCG was formed to hold the Company’s investments in the restaurant industry.

 

The Company is engaged in a variety of activities which we believe will expand the number and type of businesses in which we invest and ultimately have a controlling interest. The Company identifies investment opportunities through an extensive network of contacts with investment banking and venture capital firms and other associations with high net-worth individuals and individuals at universities such as the University of South Florida and the Byrd Institute. Upon identification of an investment opportunity the Company relies upon the executive management team to conduct a thorough evaluation of the target and its technology. As required, the executive management team may consult with individuals that have specialized expertise in the target industry. In the case of an investment where the executive management team is satisfied with its evaluation, the basic terms of an investment are negotiated directly by the executive management team and, depending on the amount of the transaction, presented to the Board for approval. Upon mutual acceptance of the basic terms, outside counsel would prepare the transaction investment documents.

 

Avalanche’s operating businesses are managed on a centralized basis. The Company’s senior management participates in and is ultimately responsible for significant capital allocation decisions, investment activities and the selection of the key executive officers to head each of the operating businesses. Our capital allocation decisions are based on extensive analysis of potential subsidiary companies' business operations supported by an in-depth understanding of the quality of their revenues and cash flow potential, variability of costs and the inherent value of their assets, including proprietary intangible assets and intellectual property.

 

Restaurant Capital Group, LLC

 

On April 13, 2016, RCG entered into an agreement to finance a new restaurant owned by Philo Group, LLC (“Philo”). The restaurant is named Giulia and features Italian fusion cuisine and two stylish full-service bars with an intimate lounge atmosphere. Giulia, which opened in March 2017, is located near the Financial District, LA Live, and the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. Philo has placed a significant emphasis on the distinctive, contemporary interior design and decor of Giulia. We believe that this stylish restaurant design and decor will contribute to the distinctive dining experience enjoyed by customers and generate higher annual sales per square foot that than is typical in our industry.

 

Our initial investment in Philo was structured as a loan and between June 2016 to November 2017, the Company provided $947,092 in financing to Philo under the terms of a Senior Secured Property Note dated April 4, 2016, as amended (the “Philo Note”). The Philo Note bears interest at a rate of sixteen percent (16%) per annum and is personally guaranteed by the principal of Philo and secured by all assets of Philo. We expect to renegotiate the terms of our investment in Philo such that we obtain a significant ownership in Giulia.

Smith and Ramsay Brands, LLC

 

The Company established SRB as a manufacturer and distributor of flavored liquids for electronic vaporizers and eCigarettes and accessories (the “ Vape Business ”). SRB had intended to aggressively expand the Vape Business with additional flavors in its signature brand and by expanding through additional new brands and the acquisition and distribution of signature and non-signature accessories. In mid-Fall of 2014, SRB began a targeted rollout of its Vape Business and during June 2015 we made the decision to no longer pursue opportunities in the Vape Business due to market conditions that led to declining sales and margins and so that we could focus on our restaurant business, which we expect will generate greater returns.

Revenue - related party

 

On May 1, 2016, we entered into a management services agreement (the “ MSA ”) with Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (“ Alzamend ”), a related party. Alzamend was formed on February 26, 2016 under the laws of the State of Delaware to acquire and commercialize patented intellectual property and the know-how to prevent, treat and cure Alzheimer’s. Avalanche provides management, consulting and financial services to Alzamend. Such services include advice and assistance concerning any and all aspects of operations, planning and financing of Alzamend and conducting relations with accountants, attorneys, financial advisors and other professionals. The term of the MSA, as amended, is for the period May 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017, and may be extended by written agreement, with Avalanche having initially received $40,000 per month and, beginning February 2017, currently receiving $20,000 per month for the remainder of 2017. During the three months ended August 31, 2016, the Company recorded $160,000 in revenue related to the management service agreement with Alzamend.

 

Stock-based compensation  

 

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended August 31, 2016 was nil compared to $331,292 for the three months ended August 31, 2015. During January 2015, the Company entered into two consulting agreements for services related to general corporate matters. The terms of these consulting agreements were from six to eleven months and provided for the issuance of 212,500 shares of common stock as payment for the services. The shares were valued at $340,250 and were expensed over the terms of the consulting agreements. The January 2015 issuances resulted in stock-based compensation of $331,292 during the three months ended August 31, 2015.

 

Professional fees

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2016, the Company incurred professional fees of $13,530, a decrease of $15,444 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2015. The decrease is attributed to an increase of $4,110 in consulting and audit fees caused by an overall increase in operating activities during the three months ended August 31, 2016. This increase was offset by a decrease of $19,553 in legal fees due to an overall decrease in the number of financing transactions conducted and the level of complexity of the transactions entered into during fiscal year 2015.

 

Salaries and employee benefits

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2016, the amount of the Company’s salaries and employee benefits were $157,675, an increase of $128,817 as compared to the $28,858 for the three months ended August 31, 2015. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is primarily attributed to Board Fees of $60,000 paid to the Company’s Chairman, and to a lesser extent the expansion of the management team. In November 2015, the Company approved the payment of monthly fees to its Chairman, Milton C. Ault III, in the amount of $20,000.

 

General and administrative

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2016, the Company’s general and administrative expenses were $36,484, a decrease of $62,858 as compared to the $99,342 for the three months ended August 31, 2015. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to a decrease of $23,524 related to the winding down of SRB and a decrease of 6,300 in marketing related activities. In December 2014, the Company initiated multiple projects to increase awareness of the Company and during the three months ended August 31, 2015, the Company incurred $6,300 in fees for public and investor relations services. During the three months ended August 31, 2016, due to the emphasis on ongoing projects such as the pending acquisition of MTIX, the Company did not make an investment in these types of activities. These decreases were offset by an increase of $16,286 related to the start-up expenses of RCG.

 

Other Income and Expense

 

Other income and expense includes interest expense, amortization of discounts on notes payable, changes in the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities and losses recognized on issuances of the Company’s derivative liabilities.

 

  - 3 -  

 

Interest income

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, interest income totaled $51,019 and $6,074, respectively. The increase in interest income is due to the secured promissory notes the Company entered into with JS Technologies, Inc. (“JST”) and Philo Group, LLC (“Philo”). The Company recorded interest of $37,912 from the amortization of original issue discounts and contractual interest of $13,107 based on the contractual interest rates on these two secured promissory notes.

 

Interest expense

 

During the three months ended August 31, 2016, interest expense totaled $136,520, a decrease of $56,373, as compared to interest expense of $192,893 in the three months ended August 31, 2015. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in amortization of debt discounts on convertible notes and notes payable. During the three months ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded amortization of debt discounts of $77,401 and $164,685, respectively.

 

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities

 

Changes in the fair value of the Company's derivative liabilities are attributed to the debt conversion options featured in the Company's convertible promissory notes issued during the three months ended August 31, 2016 and 2015 and warrants which are accounted for as derivative liabilities totaled a gain of $451,586 and a loss of $2,968, respectively. The Company is required to mark-to-market the fair value of its conversion options and warrant liabilities.

Our negative working capital of $2,614,313 as of August 31, 2016, increased by $526,924 from our November 30, 2015 negative working capital of $2,087,389. Our operating losses during the nine months ended August 31, 2016 were funded primarily by proceeds from convertible notes payable and loans payable of $714,745.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We have historically financed operations through cash flows from equity transactions and debt financings. The outstanding principal balance of the Company’s convertible notes payable and notes payable increased $640,380 during the nine months ended August 31, 2016 as compared to November 30, 2015. The Company has incurred recurring losses and reported losses available to common stockholders for the nine months ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, totaling $674,155 and $1,506,480, respectively, as well as an accumulated deficit as of August 31, 2016 amounting to $3,886,972. As a result of the Company’s continued losses, at August 31, 2016, the Company’s current liabilities significantly exceed current assets, resulting in negative working capital of $2,614,313. Further, the Company does not have adequate cash to cover projected operating costs for twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements and to repay convertible notes payable and notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $679,278 that are in default at August 31, 2016. Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure. The continuation and expansion of our business is dependent upon either obtaining future equity or debt financings or achieving profitable operations in order to repay the existing short-term debt and to provide a sufficient source of operating capital. No assurances can be made that the Company will be successful in obtaining equity or debt financing needed to continue to fund its operations, or that the Company will achieve profitable operations and positive cash flow. Our inability to take these actions as and when necessary would materially adversely affect our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

 

As reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s reported net loss is comprised of non-cash charges, net of $81,010 and $1,105,944, respectively. A summary of these non-cash charges is as follows:

 

  - 6 -  

 

 

    For the Nine Months Ended August 31,  
    2016     2015  
             
Stock-based compensation to consultants   $ 20,000     $ 680,487  
Interest income on amortization of original issue discount     (73,086 )     -  
Interest expense on warrant issuance     26,250       -  
Loss on issuance of convertible debt     78,675       356,402  
Loss on conversion of convertible debt     154,694       -  
Change in fair value of derivative liability     (461,792 )     (179,808 )
Amortization of debt discount     336,269       248,863  
Non-cash items included in net loss   $ 81,010     $ 1,105,944  

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended August 31, 2016 was $337,089, excluding the non-cash charges, was impacted by changes in working capital components of $256,056 primarily related to an increase in accrued interest on convertible and promissory notes payable of $193,333.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended August 31, 2016 included payments of $345,000 for notes receivable to Philo offset by proceeds of $48,333 from notes receivable from JST. No further amounts are due from JST.

 

On April 13, 2016, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Restaurant Capital Group, LLC ( RCG ”) we entered into an agreement to finance a new restaurant owned by Philo. The restaurant, which opened in March 2017, is located in downtown Los Angeles, California.

 

Between April 13, 2016 and May 31, 2016, the Company provided $250,000 in financing to Philo under the terms of a Senior Secured Property Note dated April 4, 2016, as amended (the “ Philo Note ”). The Philo Note bears interest at a rate of sixteen percent (16%) per annum, requires monthly interest payments, and was due within six (6) months from the date of issue. Due to delays in the opening of the restaurant, the Philo Note has not yet been repaid and is in default. The Company has not made a formal demand upon Philo for payment but has reserved its rights as provided for in the Philo Note. The Company is currently in discussions with Philo regarding payment of the Philo Note and actively monitoring the restaurant operations. The Philo Note features an original issue discount of $75,000 and allows for legal fees up to $5,000. The Philo Note is personally guaranteed by the principal of Philo and secured by all assets of Philo. In addition, the principal of Philo has agreed to further secure the loan by pledging several pieces of real property located in California.

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended August 31, 2016 included proceeds from convertible notes of $307,000, notes payable of $407,745 ($52,745 from related parties) and $5,000 from the sale of 25,000 shares of common stock offset by payments on convertible notes of $32,192 and notes payable of $54,169 ($19,844 from related parties).

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2015, we identified the critical accounting policies which affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.  The basis for developing the estimates and assumptions within our critical accounting policies is based on historical information and known current trends and factors.  The estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis and actual results have been within our expectations.  We have not changed these policies from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

  - 7 -  

 

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of the Company's management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report and has subsequently determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2016 due to certain material weaknesses as described in our Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended November 30, 2015, as filed on April 28, 2017. As a result of such material weaknesses, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Our management has worked and will continue to work to remediate the above material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls.

 

Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance 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. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the most recent fiscal quarter 2016 (the first fiscal quarter of 2016) there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Significant changes were and are being implemented and tested during the latter half of fiscal 2016 through the date of this report to remediate our material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Management believes that such measures we have implemented to remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting have had a favorable impact on our internal control over financial reporting. Changes in our internal control over financial reporting through the date of this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting are described below.

 

Remediation Process for November 30, 2015 Material Weaknesses:

 

Management, in coordination with the input, oversight and support of our Board of Directors, has identified the measures below to strengthen our control environment and internal control over financial reporting.

 

We hired a new Chief Financial Officer in June 2016, who performs the following:

 

· assists with documentation and implementation of policies and procedures and monitoring of controls,

 

· prepares budgets, financial statements and journal entries,

 

· reviews account reconciliations and journal entries.

 

While these remedial actions were implemented in fiscal year 2016, some may not be in place for a sufficient period of time to help us certify that material weaknesses have been fully remediated as of the end of fiscal year 2016. If the remedial measures described above are insufficient to address any of the identified material weaknesses or are not implemented effectively, or additional deficiencies arise in the future, material misstatements in our interim or annual financial statements may occur in the future and we may continue to be delinquent in our filings. We are currently working to improve and simplify our internal processes and implement enhanced controls, as discussed above, to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and to remedy the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Any unremediated material weaknesses could have the effects described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 2015 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 28, 2017, “In preparing our consolidated financial statements, our management determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of November 30, 2015 which could result in material misstatements in our financial statements.”

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On or around April 19, 2016, we received from counsel for Typenex Co-Investment, LLC, a Utah limited liability company ( “Typenex” ), a written demand to accelerate and demand payment of the entire outstanding balance of the Convertible Note entered into between the Company and Typenex on May 29, 2015 (the “Typenex Note” ). On June 7, 2016, Typenex filed suit in the State of Utah, the Third Judicial District Court, County of Salt Lake, for repayment of all principal, default effects, late fee and accrued interest (the “Typenex Suit” ). According to the complaint, Typenex asserted an aggregate amount due, as of June 6, 2016, of $149,054. The Company’s answer to the complaint was filed on February 20, 2017. On April 4, 2017, the Company and Typenex agreed to settle the lawsuit for payment of $90,000, which was paid in April 2017. On May 9, 2017, an order of dismissal with prejudice was entered by the Third Judicial District Court.

 

There are no other material claims, actions, suits, proceedings, or investigations that are currently pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened by or against the Company or respecting its operations or assets, or by or against any of the Company’s officers, directors, or affiliates

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

The risks described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 2015 Form 10-K, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face - our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The Risk Factors section of our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K remains current in all material respects.
