CHASE PACKAGING CORPORATION

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

 

Chase Packaging Corporation (“the Company”), a Texas Corporation, previously manufactured woven paper mesh for industrial applications, polypropylene mesh fabric bags for agricultural use, and distributed agricultural packaging manufactured by other companies. Management’s plans for the Company include securing a merger or acquisition, raising additional capital, and other strategies designed to optimize shareholder value. However, no assurance can be given that management will be successful in its efforts. The failure to achieve these plans will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The interim condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to provide for fair presentation and a reasonable understanding of the information presented. The Interim Condensed Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes, as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, previously filed with the SEC.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of financial position as of June 30, 2019, results of operations for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as applicable, have been made. The results of operations for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

 

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 3 to the Company’s financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference. Specific reference is made to that report for a description of the Company’s securities and the notes to financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Leases — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 amends existing lease accounting guidance and requires recognition of most lease arrangements on the balance sheet. The adoption of this standard will result in the Company recognizing a right-of-use asset representing its rights to use the underlying asset for the lease term with an offsetting lease liability. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Table of Contents

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – To Be Adopted

 

Intangibles, Goodwill and Other — In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU No. 2017-04”). To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, ASU No. 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, ASU No. 2017-04 requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU No. 2017-04 also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. An entity is required to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU No. 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2017-04 commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements or the related footnote disclosures.

 

ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement — This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, including the removal, modification to, and addition of certain disclosure requirements. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The majority of the disclosure changes are to be applied on a prospective basis. Although this ASU has a significant impact to the Company’s fair value disclosures, no additional impact is expected to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company does not believe that other standards, which have been issued but are not yet effective, will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Use of Estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents balances with high credit quality financial institutions. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had cash in insured accounts in the amount of $220,677 and $46,713, respectively, and cash equivalents (US treasury bills) held in financial institutions that were uninsured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the amount of approximately $500,000 and $709,158 respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured assuming enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized.

 

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation of “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” There was no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of implementing this guidance. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company evaluated its tax positions and did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress.

 

Accounting for Stock Based Compensation

 

The stock-based compensation expense incurred by the Company for employees and directors in connection with its stock option plan is based on the employee model of ASC 718, and the fair market value of the options is measured at the grant date. Under ASC 718 employee is defined as “An individual over whom the grantor of a share-based compensation award exercises or has the right to exercise sufficient control to establish an employer-employee relationship based on common law as illustrated in case law and currently under U.S. “tax regulations.” Our consultants do not meet the employer-employee relationship as defined by the IRS and therefore are accounted for under ASC 505-50.

 

ASC 505-50-30-11 further provides that an issuer shall measure the fair value of the equity instruments in these transactions using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of the following dates, referred to as the measurement date:

 

 

i.

The date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached (a performance commitment); and

 

ii.

The date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.

 

We have elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the dates of grant. Restricted stock units are measured based on the fair market values of the underlying stock on the dates of grant.

NOTE 4 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the exercise of common stock equivalents.

 

We have excluded 6,909,000 common stock equivalents (preferred stock, warrants and stock options) from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, which, if included, would have an antidilutive effect.

 

NOTE 5 – PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING:

 

On September 7, 2007, the Company completed a private placement, pursuant to which 13,334 units (the “Units”) were sold at a per Unit cash purchase price of $150, for a total subscribed amount of $2,000,100. Each Unit consists of: (1) one share of Series A 10% convertible preferred stock, par value $1.00, stated value $100 (the “Preferred Stock”); (2) 500 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 (the “Common Stock”); and (3) 500 warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The proceeds of $2,000,100 were allocated to the instruments as follows:

2017 Extension of Warrant Terms

 

On August 24, 2017, 6,909,000 common share purchase warrants issued by the Company were modified to extend their maturity date to September 7, 2019. The exercise price and all other terms of the original warrant agreement remain the same. The warrants modification expense of $31,478 was computed as the incremental value of the modified warrants over the unmodified warrants on the modification date using a per share price of $0.15 per share, which was the contemporaneous private placement offering price. Assumptions used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model for these warrants were as follows:

The principal terms of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock were as follows:

 

Voting rights – The Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock has voting rights (one vote per share) equal to those of the Company’s common stock.

 

Dividend rights – The Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock carries a fixed cumulative dividend, as and when declared by our Board of Directors, of 10% per annum, accrued daily, compounded annually and payable in cash upon a liquidation event for up to five years, as well as the right to receive any dividends paid to holders of common stock.

Redemption rights – The shares of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, upon written notice by the Company to the holders of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock at any time in the event that the Preferred Stock of one or more holders has not been previously converted. The Company shall redeem each share of Preferred Stock of such holders within thirty (30) days of the Company’s delivery of notice to such holders and such holders shall surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Preferred Stock.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

 

The Company’s 2008 Stock Awards Plan was approved April 9, 2008 by the Board of Directors and ratified at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on June 3, 2008. The 2008 Plan became effective June 24, 2008 and terminated on June 24, 2018. Subject to certain adjustments, the number of shares of Common Stock that could be issued pursuant to awards under the 2008 Plan was 2,000,000 shares. A maximum of 80,000 shares may be granted in any one year in any form to any one participant, of which a maximum of (i) 50,000 shares may be granted to a participant in the form of stock options and (ii) 30,000 shares may be granted to a participant in the form of Common Stock or restricted stock. The 2008 Plan was administered by a committee of the Board of Directors. Employees, including any employee who is also a director or an officer, consultants, and outside directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the 2008 Plan. The 2008 Stock Awards Plan expired June 24, 2018; the Board of directors has not adopted a new stock awards plan.

 

On April 11, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 300,000 shares each to 7 directors and to the CFO/Asst. Sect, valued at approximately $9,300 each based on the closing bid price as quoted on the OTC on April 22, 2019 at $0.03 per share, and on June 28, 2019 the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 300,000 shares to Matthew W. Long, a newly appointed board member, valued at approximately $27,000 based on the closing bid price as quoted on the OTC on June 28, 2019 at $0.09 per share. The 2,400,000 shares, held in escrow, are for merger/acquisition services to be performed in 2019. The escrow is pending shareholder approval of an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation reducing the par value of Common stock from $0.10 to $0.01.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure,” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

The three levels are described below:

 

Level 1 Inputs — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that is accessible by the Company;

 

Level 2 Inputs — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

 

Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.

 

There were no transfers in or out of any level during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018.

 

Except for those assets and liabilities which are required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in the Company’s balance sheets, the Company has elected not to record any other assets or liabilities at fair value, as permitted by ASC 820. No events occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018 which would require adjustment to the recognized balances of assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

 

The Company determines fair values for its investment assets as follows:

 

Cash equivalents at fair value — the Company’s cash equivalents, at fair value, consist of money market funds — marked to market. The Company’s money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy since they are valued using quoted market prices from an exchange.

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of June 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

 

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect materially, our internal control over financial reporting.
