Organization and Business

Cruzani, Inc. (“Cruzani” or the “Company”) is a franchise development company that builds and represents popular franchise concepts, and other related businesses, throughout the United States as well as international markets. The Company was originally formed as a limited liability company on February 5, 1999 under the name The Powerhouse, L.L.C. pursuant to the laws of the State of Oklahoma. On November 9, 2006, Powerhouse Productions, L.L.C. filed Articles of Conversion changing the entity from a limited liability company to a corporation under the name Harcom Productions, Inc. On January 25, 2010, Articles of Merger were filed with the State of Oklahoma merging U.S. Highland, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation into Harcom Productions, Inc. and the name of the corporation was changed to US Highland, Inc. US Highland, Inc. was a recreational power sports Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”), developing motorcycles, quads, single cylinder engines, and v-twin engines under its own brand and for other OEMs. During 2017, the Company exited the recreational power sports OEM and leisure activity vehicles markets.

On June 29, 2018, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada to change its name to Cruzani, Inc. The name change is subject to approval by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (known as “FINRA”).

On June 30, 2018, Supreme Sweets Acquisition Corp. (n/k/a Oventa, Inc.), a subsidiary of the Company, and the Company (collectively, the “Company”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Supreme Sweets Inc. and 2498411 Ontario, Inc., as sellers (collectively, the “Seller”), pursuant to which in exchange for CAD $200,000 and a twenty percent (20%) interest in Oventa, Inc., the Company agreed to acquire the trade secret assets of Seller upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. A second closing occurred on July 31, 2018, pursuant to which the Company acquired the furniture, fixtures and equipment of Seller in exchange for CAD $100,000. Seller is engaged in the business of preparing delicious snacks, pastries and baked goods with high quality ingredients for exceptional taste, including low calorie and gluten-free alternatives. The Asset Purchase Agreement included a provision, pursuant to which the Company could unwind the transaction if certain milestones were not achieved. The milestones contemplated in the Asset Purchase Agreement were not met, and accordingly, on February 7, 2019, effective as of December 31, 2018, the Company terminated the Asset Purchase Agreement with Supreme Sweets Inc. and 2498411 Ontario, Inc , by written notice to the Seller, and the Company unwound the transaction. The capital injected into Oventa, Inc., however, has been secured pursuant to financing statements filed on behalf of the Company, and the Company expects to receive a return of its injected capital of approximately US $339,813 during the calendar year 2019. Collectability is based on claims filed for cash that was paid.

On September 27, 2018, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Sandrea Gibson, as seller (the “Seller”), and Recipe Food Co., as the target (the “Target”), pursuant to which in exchange for up to CAD $237,000, the Company agreed to acquire 80% of the issued and outstanding stock of the Target from the Seller upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

Difficulties integrating the Target into the Company group, which forced the Company to cease injecting additional capital into the Target. The Target is currently on the market for disposition to a third-party buyer on an arms-length basis., which the Company can undertake due to its supermajority ownership.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2018 included on the Company’s Form 10-K. The results of the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2019 and the results of operations and cash flows presented herein have been included in the financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. As of March 31, 2019, all of the Company’s other current asset and deposits on acquisition are expected to be returned to the Company.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to the presentation used in the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There is no effect on the accumulated deficit as the result of these reclassifications.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Supreme Sweets Acquisition Corp . and TruFood Provisions Co. All financial information has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The subsidiaries have had no significant net activity.  

Receivables

The Company has other current assets of $339,813 as a result of it’s now terminated purchase agreement with Supreme Sweets Acquisition Corp, and deposits on acquisition of $102,552 from its stock purchase agreement with Recipe Food Co. (see above). The Company has evaluated the collectability of both assets and concluded that all funds will likely be recovered.

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

Level 1: Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2: Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

Level 3: Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s notes payable approximates the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at December 31, 2018.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company on a going-concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized, and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, and has an accumulated deficit of $78,119,763. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain adequate funding to support its operations through continuing investments of debt and/or equity by qualified investors/creditors, internally generated working capital and monetization of intellectual property assets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management is currently pursuing a business strategy which includes raising the necessary funds to finance the Company’s development and marketing efforts.

Above notes are past due as of the issuance of these financial statements.

NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES

On January 18, 2019, the Company executed a promissory note with Travel Data Solutions LLC for $35,000, of which it has received $25,000. The note bears interest at 10%, and matures on January 31, 2020. The specific terms of conversion are still being negotiated. Commencing on January 31, 2019 and on the last day of each month thereafter, the Company shall pay to the Holder Three Thousand Two Hundred Eight dollars and Thirty-Three cents ($3,208.33) of which Two Thousand Nine Hundred Sixteen Dollars and Sixty-Six cents ($2,916.66) represents payment towards the outstanding Principal Amount and Two Hundred Nineteen Dollars and Sixty-Six cents ($219.66) represents accrued interest thereon.

The following table summarizes the convertible notes as of March 31, 2019:

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The embedded conversion options of the Company’s convertible debentures summarized in Note 4, and its convertible preferred Series E stock. contain conversion features that qualify for embedded derivative classification. The fair value of these liabilities are re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value is reported in the statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.

The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities:

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for its conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Binomial option pricing model based on various assumptions. The model incorporates the price of a share of the Company’s common stock (as quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board), volatility, risk free rate, dividend rate and estimated life. Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. As, required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations of its derivatives:

NOTE 6 – WARRANTS

In connection with the issuance of the convertible note (the “Note”) with L2 Capital, LLC (“L2”) and funding of the initial tranche of $50,000 on the Note, the Company also issued a common stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 381,905 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms therein as a commitment fee. At the time that each subsequent tranche under the Note is funded by L2 in cash, then on such funding date, the warrant shares shall immediately and automatically be increased by the quotient of 100% of the face value of the respective tranche and 110% of the VWAP of the common stock on the Trading Day (as defined in the Note) immediately prior to the funding date of the respective tranche. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had received multiple tranches for which it issued warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

These warrants have a variable exercise price per the above and expire in five years. The aggregate fair value of the warrants, which was allocated against the debt proceeds totaled $280,438 based on the Black Scholes Merton pricing model using the following estimates: exercise price ranging from $0.001 – 0.0071, 2.80% – 2.94% risk free rate, 252.42 – 258.24% volatility and expected life of the warrants of 5 years. The fair value was credited to additional paid in capital and debited to debt discount to be amortized over the term of the loan.

NOTE 7 – COMMON STOCK

In November 20, 2018, the Company and its stockholders approved a 1 for 20 reverse stock split. The reverse stock split was deemed effective by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) on January 10, 2019. All shares throughout these financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, L2 Capital, LLC converted $33,149 of principal into 16,660,864 shares of common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, Device Corp converted $9,700 and $1,050 of principal and interest, respectively, into 12,500,000 shares of common stock.
