DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Description
of Business
The
terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “registrant,” “Fortium Holdings”, and the “Company”
refer to Fortium Holdings Corp.
On
March 27, 2020, Banner Midstream Corp., the Company’s principal asset, was acquired by Ecoark Holdings, Inc., (“Ecoark”)
pursuant a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 27, 2020 (the “Banner Purchase Agreement”), between Ecoark and the Company
. Pursuant to the Banner Purchase Agreement, Ecoark acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Banner Midstream in consideration
for 1,789,041 shares of common stock of Ecoark valued at $2.72 per share and assumed approximately $11,774,000 in short-term and long-term
debt of Banner Midstream and its subsidiaries.
On
March 18, 2021, the Company formed Norr LLC (“Norr”), a Nevada limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, and commenced operations as a sports equipment and apparel manufacturer and retailer. Prior to organization of Norr, the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer had explored this business opportunity and commenced preparation of a business plan for the business. On March
23, 2021, the Company engaged the services of two consultants and entered into consulting agreements through Norr pursuant to which each
consultant provides services to Norr in exchange for $1,000 per month, payable in cash or, at Norr’s election for a given month
or months, options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.
On
September 9, 2021, the Company formed Elysian, a Colorado corporation and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. On September 14,
2021, Elysian entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Treehouse Company, Inc. (“Treehouse”), and
its sole shareholder Alex Gosselin (the “Seller”) pursuant to which Elysian shall purchase 80% of the capital stock of Treehouse
from the Seller for $200,000. Treehouse’s key assets consist of two licenses for commercial cannabis distribution in the State
of California. The acquisition of Treehouse will be consummated upon the completion of the terms of the agreement which pertain to the
delivery of the $200,000 purchase price to the escrow agent to be held until release upon receipt of the requisite regulatory approval
for the transaction. As of March 31, 2022, the acquisition has not closed.
On
December 2, 2021, Elysian, the Company, 7Seeds Inc. (“7Seeds”), and Firebreak Associates, Inc. (“Firebreak”)
(collectively, the “Parties”) entered into a joint venture agreement (the “JVA”). Pursuant to the JVA, 7Seeds,
Firebreak and Elysian agreed to cooperate in the opening and operation of cannabis distribution facilities as follows: (i) 7Seeds agreed
to provide consulting services to Elysian including identifying locations to open new commercial cannabis businesses, including without
limitation dispensaries, delivery stores, and other businesses engaging in cannabis related activities (the “Elysian Stores”),
securing proper state and local licensure, planning commercial cannabis business operations at those locations in exchange for the compensation
described below, and (ii) Firebreak, as the owner of certain trademarks and service marks (the “CannaBlue Marks”), agreed
to license the CannaBlue Marks to Elysian for which Elysian obtained the option to open the Elysian Stores under the name “CannaBlue”
and making use of the CannaBlue Marks. The Elysian Stores will be owned and operated entirely by Elysian or its affiliates.
Under
the JVA, 7Seeds agreed to provide services to Elysian for a 36-month period commencing on the effective date of the JVA, for which Elysian
agreed to compensate 7Seeds as follows: (a) $5,000 per month for the first three months following the Effective Date; (b) $10,000 per
month beginning in month four and through month twelve; (c) $12,500 per month beginning in month thirteen and through month twenty-four;
and (d) $15,000 per month beginning in month twenty-five and through month thirty-six. Additionally, for each Elysian Store for which
7Seeds directly assists in obtaining a cannabis license, 7Seeds will be entitled to receive the following additional compensation: (a)
cash payment equal to 6% of that Elysian Store’s gross sales revenues, and (b) $50,000 in shares of the Company’s common
stock. As part of the JVA, Elysian granted 7Seeds a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable, worldwide
license during the term of the JVA to all of Elysian’ s intellectual property rights, including all copyrights, patents, trademarks,
patent disclosures, and inventions.
Under
the JVA, Firebreak has granted Elysian a license to use the CannaBlue Marks in connection with the Elysian Stores in the license territory,
consisting of the United States. The license term is for a period of five years and is automatically renewable for successive one-year
terms, unless terminated in accordance with the JVA. In exchange for the license, Elysian agreed to pay Firebreak (a) an annual royalty
fee of $5,000 per year; and (b) a fee equal to 6% of that Elysian Store’s gross sales revenues.
In
December 2021, Norr entered into a term sheet for an Advisory Agreement with three individual contractors. The Advisory Agreements, were
effective upon the signing of the definitive documents on January 24, 2022 and are for a period of five years. If any of the advisors
voluntarily or involuntarily terminates his services, his agreement will automatically terminate. All advisors will be paid $1,000 per
month for the first eighteen months immediately following execution of the Advisory Agreement. In addition to the cash compensation,
the Company shall compensate the advisors who have not terminated their relationship with Norr based on the following events (amounts
have been aggregated among the advisors):
|
(a) |
Upon
the first $1 of revenue generated within Norr, the advisors will vest in 5% ownership of Norr; |
|
(b) |
Upon
the first $100,000 of revenue generated within Norr, the advisors will vest in an additional 5% ownership of Norr; |
|
(c) |
Upon
the first $250,000 of revenue generated within Norr, the advisors will vest in an additional 5% ownership of Norr; |
|
(d) |
Upon
the first $500,000 of revenue generated within Norr, the advisors will vest in an additional 5% ownership of Norr; |
|
(e) |
Upon
the first $1,000,000 of revenue generated within Norr, the advisors will vest in an additional 5% ownership of Norr; |
|
(f) |
Upon
the first $1,000,000 of net operating free cash flow generated within Norr, the advisors will vest in $200,000 of common stock in
the Company; and |
|
(g) |
Upon
the first $2,500,000 of net operating free cash flow generated within Norr, the advisors will vest in an additional $300,000 of common
stock in the Company; and |
|
(h) |
Upon
the first $5,000,000 of net operating free cash flow generated within Norr, the advisors will vest in an additional $400,000 of common
stock in the Company. |
The
maximum ownership the advisors may collectively receive in Norr shall be 25%. In addition, the advisors may receive shares of Fortium
common stock based on meeting enumerated net operating free cash flow thresholds ranging from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000, for a total potential
Fortium equity compensation to these advisors of up to $900,000 of shares of Fortium common stock. As a result of Norr generating revenue
on January 22, 2022, the aforementioned contractors received a total of 5% of the ownership interests of Norr. Therefore, the Company
has recognized a noncontrolling interest of this 5%.
Simultaneously
with the SPA, Elysian and the Seller entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Treehouse pursuant to which the parties agreed that
Elysian will purchase the remaining 20% of the capital stock of Treehouse for an additional $200,000 and enter into a second SPA on substantially
similar terms to the SPA in connection therewith, subject to state and local regulatory clearance of the transfer of ownership of the
two cannabis licenses owned by Treehouse. The SPA provides that if required state and local regulatory clearance is not obtained, the
SPA will terminate, Elysian will return the Treehouse capital stock to the Seller and the Seller will return the $200,000 purchase price
to Elysian.
The
Company is subject to a number of risks, including the need to develop the Elysian, Norr business and/or acquire and successfully operate
a new business, and the risk of raising capital through equity and/or debt financings.
On
January 7, 2021, shareholders of the Company representing approximately 57% of the outstanding common shares, acted by written consent
in lieu of a meeting to approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Fortium
Holdings Corp. (the “Amendment”). The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority approved the name change on May 18, 2021.
Basis
of Presentation
The
Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP
as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB).
All
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These adjustments consist of normal and recurring accruals,
as well as non-recurring charges.
The
condensed consolidated financial statements, and the accompanying notes, are prepared in accordance with GAAP and do not contain certain
information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Therefore, the interim condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year due to various factors.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been
eliminated in the consolidation.
The
Company has utilized the guidance under ASC 810-10-55-4B, Case A for a Change that has resulted in the recognition of non-controlling
interest. On January 22, 2022, Norr commenced generating revenues and this triggered the recognition of ownership interests being allocated
to three contractors per their agreements. As a result 5% interest has been allocated to them and the Company now owns 95% of Norr.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These
estimates include, but are not limited to, management’s estimate of provisions required for uncollectible accounts receivable,
fair value of assets held for sale and assets and liabilities acquired, impaired value of equipment and intangible assets, including
goodwill, estimates of discount rates in lease, liabilities to accrue, cost incurred in the satisfaction of performance obligations,
permanent and temporary differences related to income taxes and determination of the fair value of stock awards. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Acquisition
Accounting
The
Company’s acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting whereby purchase price is allocated to tangible
and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair value. The excess of the fair value of the consideration conveyed
over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over
the fair value of the consideration conveyed is recorded as a non-operating gain on acquisition. The statements of operations for the
periods presented include the results of operations for each of the acquisitions from the date of acquisition.
Property
and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets
Property
and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets, of ten years for all property and equipment, except leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the
term of the lease, which is shorter than the estimated useful life of the improvements. Computer equipment has an estimated useful life
of three years. The licenses anticipated to be acquired in the Treehouse acquisition are indefinite, however management will have an
estimated useful life of ten years from the date of acquisition.
ASC
360 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
The
Company reviews recoverability of long-lived assets on a periodic basis whenever events and changes in circumstances have occurred which
may indicate a possible impairment. The assessment for potential impairment is based primarily on the Company’s ability to recover
the carrying value of its long-lived assets from expected future cash flows from its operations on an undiscounted basis. If such assets
are determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the fair value
of the assets.
ASC
360-10 addresses criteria to be considered for long-lived assets expected to be disposed of by sale. Six criteria are listed in ASC 360-10-45-9
that must be met in order for assets to be classified as held for sale. Once the criteria are met, long-lived assets classified as held
for sale are to be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
The
Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
1.
Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
2.
Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
3.
Significant negative industry or economic trends.
When
the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above
indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company
records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate
determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is
required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows.
Accrued
Expenses
To
prepare its financial statements, the Company estimates accrued expenses. The accrual process involves reviewing open contracts, communicating
with personnel to identify services that have been performed on behalf of the Company and estimating the level of service performed and
the associated cost incurred for the service when the Company has not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of the actual cost. The
Company makes estimates of accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to the Company at
that time.
Although
the Company does not expect the estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, if the estimates of the status and
timing of services performed differs from the actual status and timing of services performed, the Company may report amounts that are
too high or too low in any particular period. Historically, the estimated accrued liabilities have approximated actual expenses incurred.
Subsequent changes in estimates may result in a material change in the accruals.
Fair
Value Measurements
The
accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major
asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price,
representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier
fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets.
Level
2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level
3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The
carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments such as cash, investments, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate
their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those financial instruments.
Investments
The
Company measures their investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss) pursuant to ASU 2016-01,
“Financial Instruments-Overall”.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The
core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services
to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
●
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
●
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
●
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
●
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
●
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation
In
order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in
the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of
a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: The customer can
benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e.,
the good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is
separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the
context of the contract).
If
a good or service is not distinct, the good or service is combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle of goods or services
is identified that is distinct.
The
transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods
or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.
When determining the transaction price, an entity must consider the effects of all of the following:
●
Variable consideration
●
Constraining estimates of variable consideration
●
The existence of a significant financing component in the contract
●
Noncash consideration
●
Consideration payable to a customer
Variable
consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price
allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time
as appropriate.
The
Company accounts for contract costs in accordance with ASC Topic 340-40, Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes the
cost of sales of a contract as expense when incurred or at the time a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company recognizes an
asset from the costs to fulfil a contract only if the costs relate directly to a contract, the costs generate or enhance resources that
will be used in satisfying a performance obligation in the future and the costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of
obtaining a contract are capitalized unless the costs would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained.
Share-Based
Payment Arrangements
The
Company has accounted for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10,
Compensation (“ASC 718”). This guidance addresses all forms of share-based payment awards including shares issued under employee
stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights, as well as share grants and other awards issued
to employees and non-employees under free-standing arrangements. These awards are recorded at costs that are measured at fair value on
the awards’ grant dates, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in charges to operations.
Segment
Reporting
The
Company, through the formation of Norr and anticipated acquisition of Treehouse, has created two distinct business segments. The Company
has only nominal operations in Norr as they are in the start-up phase of this organization and upon the acquisition of Treehouse will
have the commercial cannabis distribution licenses transferred to Elysian. Upon operations commencing, the Company will segment report
these two segments. There are currently only nominal operations of Norr and Elysian (approximately 1% of total net loss). For 2021, there
were no segments.
Leases
The
Company followed ASC 840 Leases in accounting for leased properties until 2019 when it adopted ASC 842 for its accounting for
finance and operating leases in 2019. Included in the Company’s discontinued operations are leases for office and production facilities
for terms typically ranging from three to five years. Rent escalations over the term of a lease are considered at the inception of the
lease such that the monthly average for all payments is recorded as straight-line rent expense with any differences recorded in accrued
liabilities. In continuing operations, there is only an office lease that is on a month-to-month basis. With the anticipated acquisition
of Treehouse, the leases to be acquired in that transaction will be accounted for under the guidance of ASC 842.
Earnings
(Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Basic
net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share
(“EPS”) include additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock
options and warrants. Common stock equivalents are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reports
a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for periods presented, so only basic weighted average number of common shares are used
in the computations.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as
of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are
not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
Going
Concern
The
Company concluded that its negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern for one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.
Management
intends to oversee the development and growth of the Company’s anticipated commercial cannabis distribution business and sporting
goods and apparel business and continue to explore and identify business opportunities within the U.S., including a potential acquisition
of an operating entity through a reverse merger, asset purchase or similar transaction. Our management team has experience in the cannabis
space and sporting goods and apparel industry and in consulting both private and public companies in operational processes, although
no assurances can be given that he can successfully grow our operations through our subsidiary or identify and implement a viable business
strategy or that any such strategy will result in profits. Our ability to effectively identify, develop and implement a viable plan for
our business may be hindered by risks and uncertainties which are beyond our control, including without limitation, the continued negative
effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the U.S. and global economies. Even though management believes this plan will allow the Company
to continue as a going concern, there are no guarantees to the successful execution of this plan.
These
condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern,
which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business
over a reasonable period of time.
On
March 27, 2020, Banner Midstream was acquired by Ecoark for 1,789,041 shares of common stock (after giving effect to Ecoark’s subsequent
one-for-five reverse stock split which was effected on December 10, 2020), and Ecoark assumed all of the debt of the Company. As of February
28, 2022, the Company has sold all 200,000 shares of Ecoark common stock the Company retained from the March 2020 acquisition, after
distributing the other 1,589,041 shares to the former owners of Banner Midstream.
Impact
of COVID-19
Since
the sale of Banner Midstream, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on the Company, particularly due to our lack of operations
until recently. The pandemic may, however, have an impact on our ability to develop the Norr business and anticipated Elysian business
with the acquisition of Treehouse.
The
Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which the Company adopted
effective January 1, 2019. No cumulative adjustment to members equity was required, and the adoption did not have a material impact on
our financial statements, as no material arrangements prior to the adoption were impacted by the new pronouncement.
The
following represents the disaggregation of revenue by major source for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

approach. Adoption of the standard did not result in an adjustment to retained earnings for the Company.
All
of the right of use assets and lease liabilities related to Banner Midstream and were sold/assumed to Ecoark in the merger with Ecoark
on March 27, 2020.
The
Company currently leases space on a month-to-month basis and that lease is not subject to the provisions of ASC 842.

FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The
Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy prescribed
by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy has three levels, which are based on reliable available inputs
of observable data. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The three-level hierarchy is defined as
follows:
Level
1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level
2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that
are not active; and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets;
and
Level
3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers
are unobservable.
Financial
instruments consist principally of cash, investments, accounts receivable and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
notes payable, and amounts due to related parties. The fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs. There were no transfers
into or out of “Level 3” during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021. The recorded
values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short
maturity dates or durations.
Fair
value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.
These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined
with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
The
following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis as of:
