NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Novint Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Novint”) was originally incorporated in the State of New Mexico in April 1999. On February 26, 2002, the Company changed its state of incorporation to Delaware by merging with Novint Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation. This merger was accounted for as a reorganization of the Company.

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company currently is engaged in the development and sale of 3D haptics products and equipment. Haptics refers to one’s sense of touch. The Company’s focus is in the consumer interactive computer gaming market, but the Company also does project work in other areas. The Company’s operations are based in New Mexico with sales of its haptics products primarily to consumers through retail outlets.

 

Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

These 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 incurred recurring losses and at September 30, 2020, had an accumulated deficit of $41,419,655. For the period ended September 30, 2020, the Company sustained a net loss of $133,520. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date the financial statements were issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing, and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. Management intends to source new inventory and generate revenue. The Company will continue to seek and raise additional funding through debt or equity financing during the next twelve months.

 

We may be at risk as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Risks that could affect our business include the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on the demand for our products; actions by governments, businesses and individuals taken in response to the pandemic; the length of time of the COVID-19 pandemic and the possibility of its reoccurrence; the timing required to develop effective treatments and a vaccine in the event of future outbreaks; the eventual impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response to the pandemic on global and regional economies; and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides. 

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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. The most significant estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of the financial statements relate to accrued royalties and contingent consideration. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed financial statements do not include all information or notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements included within the Company’s Special Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on May 5, 2020.

 

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements included herein contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 may not be indicative of results for the full year.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to federally insured limits. At times balances may exceed FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and has since issued amendments thereto (collectively referred to as “ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, and the guidance defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle. The five-step process to achieve this principle is as follows: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract(s), (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract(s), and (v) recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASC 606 also mandates additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.

 

Revenue from product sales relates to the sale of the Falcon 3D Touch Haptic Controller (the “Falcon”), which is a human-computer user interface and related accessories. The Falcon allows the user to experience the sense of touch when using a computer, while holding its interchangeable handle. The Falcons are manufactured by an unrelated party. Revenue from product sales are recognized when products are shipped to the customer and the Company has earned the right to receive and retain reasonable assured payments for the products sold and delivered. Consequently, if revenue recognition requirements are not met, such sales will be recorded as deferred revenue until revenue recognition requirements are met.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts management expects to collect. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on a combination of historical experience, aging analysis and information on specific accounts. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Management has determined that $0 allowance is required at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. The method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 is an asset and liability method which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using 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 Statements of Operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. The FASB ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy 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 observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, payroll and related liabilities, and advances approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed the recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC and they did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses are as follows:

 

    September 30,     December 31,  
    2020     2019  
Trade payables   $ 107,203     $ 99,486  
Accrued expenses     5,283       7,756  
Accrued royalties     570,632       533,132  
Total accounts payable and accrued expenses   $ 683,118     $ 640,374  

 

NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company is subject to routine litigation incidental to its business. Although there can be no assurances as to the ultimate disposition of any such matters, it is the opinion of management, based upon the information available at this time, that there are no matters, individually or in the aggregate, that will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company.

 

The Company has licensing agreements with various parties providing gaming software. These licensing agreements have royalty fees ranging from 5% to 50% of either gross or net revenue, and a flat per user end fee of $0.50. Under one or more of these agreements, there was an annual aggregate minimum payment due of $50,000 which has been recorded as accrued royalties but remains unpaid. Accrued royalty fees as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, was $570,632 and $533,132, respectively. If contested, the Company may be found to be in breach of obligations to pay these amounts (although the Company believes this obligation is no longer ongoing), thus the remaining obligation under this agreement will remain as a liability.

 

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company files corporate income tax returns in the United States (Federal), in New Mexico and in New York. The Company is subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for the tax years 2015 through 2018.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of $33.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Federal net operating losses generated prior to January 1, 2018, amounting to $33.7 million, and may be offset against future taxable income, subject to limitation under IRC Section 382, which begin to expire in 2022 if not utilized prior to that date, and fully expire during various years through 2037 for federal purposes. Net operating losses generated after January 1, 2018, amounting to $0.3 million, are limited to 80% utilization of current year income and no longer have an expiration. State net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2034 through 2039.

 

Other than minimum taxes, the company does not incur a provision for income taxes because the Company has historically incurred operating losses and maintains a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realizability of the benefit, based on a more likely than not criteria and in consideration of available positive and negative evidence.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“The Act”), was signed into law by President Trump. The Act includes a number of provisions, including the lowering of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 34 percent to 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018 and the establishment of a territorial-style system for taxing foreign-source income of domestic multinational corporations. In December 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Act (“SAB118”), which allows us to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment. The Company remeasured its deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017, applying the reduced corporate income tax rate and recorded a provisional decrease to the deferred tax assets of $4,504,000, with a corresponding adjustment to the valuation allowance. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed our analysis to determine the effect of the Tax Act and there were no material adjustments as of December 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following table summarizes select balance sheet and working capital amounts as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

 

    As of     As of        
    September 30,     December 31,        
    2020     2019     Change  
Cash   $ 336,922     $ 431,715     $ (94,793)  
Working capital deficit   $ (340,131)     $ (206,611 )   $ (133,520)  

  

At September 30, 2020, the Company had working capital deficit of approximately $340,131. Accumulated deficit amounted to $41,419,655 and $41,286,135 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $133,520 and $101,614, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $94,793 and $62,034 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Operations since inception have been funded primarily with the proceeds from equity and debt offerings. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had cash of $336,922.

 

The Company’s management has evaluated whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and has determined that substantial doubt existed as of the date of this filing. This determination was based on the following factors: (i) the Company’s available cash as of the date of this filing will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations for the next 12 months; (ii) the Company has incurred recurring losses and at September 30, 2020, had an accumulated deficit of $41,419,655; (iii) the Company sustained an operating loss of $133,520 for the period ended September 30, 2020; and (iv) if the Company fails to obtain the needed capital, it will be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of its programs or perhaps cease operations. In the opinion of management, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in any capital-raising efforts that it may undertake to fund operations during 2020. The Company anticipates that it will continue to issue equity and/or debt securities as a source of liquidity, until it begins to generate positive cash flow to support its operations. Any future sales of securities to finance operations will dilute existing stockholders’ ownership. The Company cannot guarantee when or if it will generate positive cash flow.

 

The audit report prepared by our independent registered public accounting firm relating to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Cash Flow Activities

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows for the periods set forth below:

 

    Nine months ended September 30,  
    2020     2019     Change  
Net cash used in operating activities   $ 94,793     $ 62,034     $ 32,759  

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $94,793 compared with net cash used in operating activities of $62,034 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was primarily due to a net loss of $133,520 partial offset by increase of $42,744 in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $62,034. The net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, was primarily due to a net loss of $101,614 partial offset by increase of $37,276 in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Effects of Inflation

 

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, sales, or operating results during the periods presented.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special-purpose entities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

 

Critical accounting policies are those policies which are both important to the presentation of a company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no recent significant changes to our accounting policies and use of estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For a further discussion of our critical accounting policies, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains such “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.All statements in this report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements for purposes of these provisions, including any projections of earnings, revenues or other financial items, any statements of the plans and objectives of management for future operations, any statements concerning proposed new products or services, any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. All forward-looking statements included in this report are made as of the date hereof and are based on information available to us as of such date. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes,” “estimates,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, there can be no assurance that any such expectations or any forward-looking statement will prove to be correct. Our actual results will vary, and may vary materially, from those projected or assumed in the forward-looking statements. Future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which we cannot predict with accuracy and some of which we might not anticipate, including, without limitation, product recalls and product liability claims; infringement of our technology or assertion that our technology infringes the rights of other parties; termination of supplier relationships, or failure of suppliers to perform; inability to successfully manage growth; delays in obtaining regulatory approvals or the failure to maintain such approvals; concentration of our revenue among a few customers, products or procedures; development of new products and technology that could render our products obsolete; market acceptance of new products; introduction of products in a timely fashion; price and product competition, availability of labor and materials, cost increases, and fluctuations in and obsolescence of inventory; volatility of the market price of our common stock; foreign currency fluctuations; changes in key personnel; work stoppage or transportation risks; integration of business acquisitions; and other factors referred to in our reports filed with the SEC, including our Registration Statement on Form 10. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Additional factors that may have a direct bearing on our operating results are discussed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement on Form 10. In light of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report or in any document incorporated by reference might not occur. Stockholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to us or to any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

  

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (Disclosure Controls) within the meaning of Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Our Disclosure Controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Our Disclosure Controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our Disclosure Controls, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily applied its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Disclosure Controls, which was done under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. Based on the evaluation of our Disclosure Controls, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer has concluded that, as of September 30, 2020, our Disclosure Controls were not effective due to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at September 30, 2020, was due to an insufficient degree of segregation of duties among our accounting and financial reporting personnel. During the remainder of 2020, we intend to work to remediate the material weaknesses identified above, which could include the addition of accounting and financial reporting personnel and/or the engagement of accounting and personnel consultants on a limited-time basis until we add a sufficient number of personnel.

 

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Except as described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
