Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of and for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $11,052,007. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease or reduce its operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. The Company will continue to raise funds through the sale of its equity securities or issuance of notes payable to obtain additional operating capital. The Company is dependent upon its ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure additional equity and/or debt financing until the Company can earn revenue and realize positive cash flow from its operations. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in earning revenue and realizing positive cash flow from its operations. Without sufficient financing it would be unlikely that the Company will continue as a going concern.
Based on the Company’s current rate of cash outflows, cash on hand and proceeds from the prior sale of equity securities and issuance of convertible notes, management believes that its current cash will not be sufficient to meet the anticipated cash needs for working capital for the next 12 months. The Company’s plans with respect to its liquidity issues include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
|
1)
|
Continue to issue restricted stock for compensation due to consultants and for its legacy accounts payable in lieu of cash payments; and preferred stock
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2)
|
Seek additional capital in the public equity markets to continue its operations as it rolls out its current products in development, responds to competitive pressures, develops new products and services, and supports new strategic partnerships. The Company is currently evaluating additional debt or equity financing opportunities and may execute them when appropriate. However, there can be no assurances that the Company can consummate such a transaction or consummate a transaction at favorable pricing.
|
14
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and achieve profitable operations. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. All reclassifications have been applied consistently to the periods presented.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when earned and related costs of sales and expenses when incurred. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605-10-599, Revenue Recognition, Overall, SEC Materials (“Section 605-10-599”). Section 605-10-599 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Cost of revenue consists of the cost of the purchased goods and labor related to the corresponding sales transaction. When a right of return exists, the Company defers revenues until the right of return expires. The Company recognizes revenue from services at the time the services are completed.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company’s accounts receivable primarily consist of trade receivables. The Company may record an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based on historical trends, customer knowledge, any known disputes, and the aging of the accounts receivable balances combined with management’s estimate of future potential recoverability. Receivables are written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect a receivable have failed. The Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2019 is adequate, but actual write-offs could exceed the recorded allowance.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consisting of websites, customer lists, content, and publisher relationships, developed technology and trade names are stated at cost. Expenditures of costs incurred to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset and materially extend the useful life are capitalized. When assets are sold or otherwise written off due to asset impairment, the cost and the related accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts and any realized gain or loss is recognized at that time. Useful lives of intangible assets are periodically evaluated for reasonableness and the assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may no longer be recoverable.
Internal Use Software Development Costs
The Company incurs costs to develop software for internal use. The Company expenses all costs that relate to the planning and post implementation phases of development as research and development expense. The Company capitalizes costs when preliminary efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed and will be used as intended. Costs incurred for enhancements that are expected to result in additional material functionality are capitalized.
Note 3 – Debt Payable
One note valued at $26,612 payable to S&K Enterprises remains as an outstanding liability.

With the advancement of hemp extraction technologies, the worry of being exposed to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive component of the hemp plant, has diminished greatly. This has paved the way for usage of hemp plant components such as Cannabidiol (CBD) and other non-THC phytocannabinoids to be used therapeutically without any deleterious side effects for the user.
As such, the overall hemp/cannabis industry has experienced continued growth the past few years. The industry is primed for robust growth in the coming years especially with the growing legalization of the plant across the globe. This is especially true in the United States with the recent passage of the Farm Act in 2018 which now classifies the hemp plant as a commodity and legalizes use of hemp plant derivatives such as CBD and CBG (cannabigerol).
Cannabis Business Plan predicts that the overall cannabis market will reach $24.5 billion by 2021 in North America alone for adult use and medical purposes. By 2027 this amount is expected to grow to $47.3 billion. The CAGR during this period will reach close to 28%.
Grand View Research projects the global Cannabis market to reach 146.4 billion USD by 2025 with a CAGR of 34.6% during the forecast period.
We can also look specifically at the Cannbidiol market. According to the Brightfield Group report, with the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, the Cannbidiol (CBD) market is expected to hit $22 billion USD by 2022. Analysts at Technavio expect the CAGR to be a little above 31% during this period. With continuing global legalization and acceptance of hemp and its derivatives, the future looks bright for the global CBD oil market. Demand is especially strong among millennials and younger generations who are more open to alternative hemp-based therapies.

●Nano CBD Patch
The 120mg Nano CBD patch from Nano 101 is the flagship topical Cannabidiol patch the company first launched. Prior to its release quite a bit of research and was done on the optimal topical system to use. The result was a proprietary technology developed in-house. Legalization of hemp derivatives across the globe, especially in the United States with the Farm Bill of 2018, make it an ideal time to introduce a new system of CBD delivery than standard oral preparations (edibles, vapes, etc). The CBD market, which is the largest portion of the overall Cannabis/Hemp market, is expected to hit $22 billion in the US alone by 2022.
Nano CBD Patch competitive advantages
1.Next generation topical technology. The Nano CBD patch represents the next evolution in topical delivery systems. Prior to its introduction many topical patches utilized a central reservoir system which was often bulky and had less than ideal effectiveness. The result was an uncomfortable patch that delivered only a fraction of the contents in the central well area. An upgrade to the topical patch was introduced in the mid-2000’s with the topical layered and topical direct systems. Nano CBD patches utilize 5 technologies in one patch developed in-house. Several patents are in the initial planning stage based off these set of technologies. The Nano-Vive technology allows us to extract the dry equivalent weight of the CBD, or any other soluble ingredient, and create a nano particulate pre-infusion matrix that can be placed onto the patch. No messy or bulky central reservoir is required. The patch provides full potency of the infused ingredients.
21
2.Extended delivery time. In addition to providing full potency of the dry equivalent weight, the CBD delivery is over an extended period of time. The window is between 8 to 12 hours for most users. This provides more long-term delivery than oral CBD preparations. A large portion of the CBD contained in oral products gets inactivated by digestive processes before entering the blood stream. Furthermore, these products produce an initial surge of CBD then a drastic drop. Topical CBD oil rubs are also highly inefficient and only a small fraction can penetrate the skin in such a viscous format. Nano CBD delivers more stable and long-term CBD without any surge or drops.
3.Convenient and Simple. Because it is particulate in nature, we are able to pack the full potency of the CBD dosage in a much smaller size than traditional topical patch systems. Our patches are only 1.25” x 1.25” and are very slim as well as discreet. Many users have reported feeling as if nothing is there. Whereas most oral preparations and oils must be taken several times a day, because of the extended period of delivery, only one patch is needed for the day for most users.
4.Comfortable. The patch utilizes a surgical grade adhesive backing that feels light weight and is comfortable to wear up till 24 hours. Many of the older topical patch systems would start to irritate and chaff the skin after a few hours. Nano CBD patch is easy to apply and also very easy to remove with no pain. The slim design provides lasting comfort during duration of use.
5.Customization. The Nano CBD Patches can be easily cut with scissors to customize dosage. While we have found 120mg to be the ideal amount for 8+ hours of delivery, some users may in fact require more for their needs. The user can easily add half a patch or even another whole patch to deliver 240mg. The slim design makes for easy cutting of the patches if the user wishes to customize the dosage of CBD.
6.High quality. Of primary importance has been the cultivation and extraction of hemp derivatives from the highest quality hemp plants. Our hemp plants are grown in the world-renowned hemp plant belt in Oregon. All plants are grown in a pesticide and toxin free environment, ensuring that the extracted CBD oil is pure and free of extraneous toxic solvents.
7.High competitive price point. The patches have the highest dosage of any other competitor on the market and are made in the USA using the finest quality materials. With our production capabilities we are able to price them far below the nearest competitor. As an example previously discussed, Marys Medicinals offers a 10mg patch with older patch technology at $10 for a 10mg patch. 6 such patches would be around $60. Nano 101 Technology is able to sell at retail 6 120MG patches for only $48 USD. Nano 101 Technology is primed to offer the most advanced CBD and hemp topical systems at a price point unbeatable by other patch manufacturers.
Pure Hemp Patch
The 75mg Pure Hemp patch was launched during Q2 2018 and is 2nd in the Nano 101 Technology topical patch line. It offers all the competitive advantages that Nano CBD patch offers but is infused with a different pre-infusion matrix rich with hemp derived phytocannabinoids and terpenes.
Competition
Morpheus’s competitors are Kaleidescape, Imerge, and VidaBox. Both are U.S. based companies with an established product offering. However, they operate at different price points with Kaleidescape and Imerge on the higher end of the price range (as high as $25,000) and VidaBox in the same target tier for Morpheus ($1,000SRP). Highlights of the main differentiating factors are illustrated below:

While the CBD space is expected to be flooded with a variety of products with the recent passing of the Farm Bill, the topical space is currently very limited in terms of competition. The conversion of CBD into a long term 8+ hour delivery patch requires the infusion of the oil onto a patch matrix of sort. Most of the competitors of Nano 101 technology use a central reservoir patch delivery system that was first developed in in the 1970s. These systems are often quite bulky and cumbersome to leave on for extended periods of time. Major competitors in this arena include Marys Nutrionals, Pure Ratios CBD patch, and Papa & Barkley’s. These patches utilize a central reservoir and have a lower dose CBD oil infusion. Several of the Pure Ratio patches are also intermixed with THC. Nano 101 is the first CBD topical company to provide the next generation nano particulate body heat activated patch system. In addition to providing the next generation delivery mechanism, Nano 101 offers the highest dosage at a far more competitive price. For example, a single patch from Marys Nutrionals has 10mg and is priced at $10. Six such patches would retail for $60 USD whereas Nano 101 has priced six 120MG topical patches at $48 retail.
Business Development
Our business development efforts are focused on 4 main areas:
●Release of the newly designed Knoton along with the use-cases and the marketing plan. The Knoton is a promising device that will take advantage of the ever-growing IoT market. The Knoton will also be designed to be a secure blockchain IoT device that can be weaved into a complete IoT system. Such device when deployed in the thousands or millions of units can then form a complete system that can have profound uses in the crypto-currency and distributed-computation market segment. The IoT market is still in its infancy and developing fast. The Knoton is designed to take advantage of this large market.
●Revamping our Morpheus line to maintain a cutting-edge advantage in the media delivery market. A few of the upgrades that are planned are an upgrade to the entire line to 4K and the introduction of a Morpheus device designed for the consumer market rather than just the professional market.
●Expand e-commerce marketing for both Nano CBD Plus and Pure Hemp Patch through social media and other online outlets. With the Farm Bill now passed, we expect social media platforms such as Facebook and Google to allow marketing of CBD products on their platforms in the near future. This far restriction of Cannabidiol on these channels has been a major barrier to marketing efforts in the ecommerce space.
●Invest in continued SEO efforts for Nano CBD. Sales growth has been driven primarily through organic search traffic on Google and Yahoo. Nano CBD ranks high on major CBD related keywords on both search engines. The company’s SEO focus will be to improve on rankings in the coming year on these and more major search keywords for both engines.
●Expand digital marketing for the Pure Hemp Patch product line. While CBD may be restricted by the likes of Facebook and Google, Hemp products are allowed. The coming year will see increased marketing budgets directed to Google display, Google Shopping, Google Search, and Facebook marketing. Amazon also allows hemp products and is an online shopping platform that we will target heavily.

●Diversifying product lines under both Nano CBD and Pure Hemp. Passing of the Farm Bill has allayed concerns with many potential customers. Nano 101 Technology plans on developing topical patches of varying strengths and sizes to serve the needs of consumers desiring stronger or a lower dosage of CBD oil in their patches.
●Nano CBD will also develop a variety of formulations that includes CBD with other natural herbal remedies. Development has already begin on producing topical systems that may help with certain conditions such as joint pain or insomnia. This would be the first not only in the topical patch space but in the overall CBD market which thus far has been restricted to CBD only preparations.
Investment in Growth
During 2019, Signature Devices plans to invest in additional business development resources to drive awareness and adoption of the platform to targeted customers. We also plan to invest in additional features and technology such as IoT and Media Servers. We also intend to continue investing in research and development related to further increase our product offering and competitive advantage. The goal of these development efforts will be to maximize market penetration across our multiple streams of income within the Internet of Things while improving the user experience.
Signature Devices will take a three-pronged investment growth strategy with the acquired Nano 101 property. The first will be expansion of digital marketing efforts of its Pure Hemp product line. While CBD is still restricted, Hemp labeled products are allowed for marketing and sale on Google, Facebook, and the Amazon marketplace. With our recent investment in Google Shopping for Pure Hemp patch, returns have been in the 4x to 5x region of investment. We see high potential to push the hemp product line on these e-commerce marketing platforms. We have also allocated a significant amount of energy towards continued research and development especially with our CBD products. With the Farm Bill passing we expect to release a variety of patches with varying strengths and with custom formulations. Our third strategy is to invest placing our products in traditional brick & mortar retail stores. Our initial focus is on smaller practitioner’s offices (chiropractor offices, naturopaths, homeopaths, etc.), wellness centers, dispensaries, vape shops because of easier markets to these distribution channels. Eventually larger retail spaces will be targeted such as major name pharmacies and retail stores (CVS, Walgreens, Target, Walmart, etc.).
Business Development
Innovo Technology is currently selling through distributors in several countries. In the last 3 years Innovo Technology has built a solid name synonymous with high quality software and hardware. The current product lines in production is Morpheus, which is geared towards the professional installers and professional home automation integrators. We will continue to grow our international distributor base and US dealer base.
Signature Devices will invest heavily in R&D, grow the current manufacturing relationships to produce its products, and focus on marketing and selling activities. The company plans on growing USA based operations while increasing its overseas programming joint ventures.
Our business development efforts are focused on three main areas. The first is expand in the private media server. The second is focus on providing IoT devices for campus and personal security. The third area of focus is expand the TruckIT app based on technology by Knoton further into the US market. This translates to revenue generation from selling physical hardware, providing cloud services and monthly subscription fees.
Business development plans for Nano 101 Technology will take have three goals. Our first goal is to expand on the ecommerce marketing platforms that are available to use. Even though Google, Facebook, and Amazon our currently reticent to sponsor CBD products, we can still utilize other digital commerce channels to market the patches. While organic traffic alone has been quite extraordinary in terms of sales, a heavy investment in avenues that will allow CBD would be a huge bonus.
We will also continue to push Pure Hemp patch through Google, Amazon and Facebook as Hemp related products are permitted. Recent marketing campaigns, in particular Google shopping, have been a huge plus for us with 4 to 5x returns. The dearth of hemp patches on Amazon is also a big competitive advantage.
Finally, we will have continued research and development in expanding our topical product lines. We expect to have patches of varying strengths and sizes. For example, we have plans of a larger sized patch that utilizes our next generation technology,

with double to triple the dose of CBD. We also have lower strength CBD topicals in the planning stage. One of the most exciting aspects of our research is in the development of CBD infused formulations with other herbal ingredients to create patches to possibly treat different symptoms such as joint pain, insomnia, and anxiety.
This coming year will also see a heavy push for us to infiltrate the retail space. We have already developed lucrative relations with small retail health stores, alternative medicine clinics, and dispensaries. We will continue to expand and have both Pure Hemp and CBD patches in stores across the nation. Our initial strategy has been working with smaller retail outlets but plans are underway to introduce our custom CBD formulations in larger more established chains such as CVD, Walgreens, Target, etc.

Beneficial owner is a legal term where specific property rights ("use and title") in equity belong to a person even though legal title of the property belongs to another person.
In determining the beneficial ownership percentages, we have calculated out on a fully diluted basis, the voting rights of Preferred Series A shares and Common Series A. Preferred Series A shares have conversion and voting rights of one preferred share to 1,000 common shares. This makes the Preferred Share Series A shareholders beneficial owners of common stock with voting rights. Additionally, the Preferred B shares gives our Directors super majority voting rights
The holders of our Series B Preferred Stock have voting rights with respect to the business, management, or affairs of the corporation in the amount of 1% of the voting rights for all classes of stock per 100 shares of the Preferred B shares on the record date of the vote. Thus, Mr. Townsend, by virtue of owning a majority of this stock, has 65.5% voting super voting rights, giving him control of the Company.
We are authorized to issue 7,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.00001 par value. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions, with respect to the Common stock when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available for such dividends. No holder of Common Stock has any preemptive right to subscribe for any of our stock nor are any shares subject to redemption. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and after payment of creditors and any amounts payable to senior securities, the assets will be divided pro rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of the shares of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock now outstanding upon completion of this Offering and conversion of any Preferred Stock, are, and will be, fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable.
Holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, so that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors will be able to elect 100% of the directors if they choose to do so, and in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any members to the Board of Directors.
The Company has never paid any dividends to shareholders of our Common Stock. The declaration in the future of any cash or stock dividends will depend upon our capital requirements and financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. We presently intend not to pay any cash or stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Management intends to reinvest earnings, if any, in the development and expansion of our business. No dividend may be paid on the Common Stock until all Preferred Stock dividends are paid in full.
