CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include our statements regarding our goals, beliefs, strategies, objectives, plans, including product and service developments, future financial conditions, results or projections or current expectations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. For example, when we discuss our pursuit of strategic transactions including acquisitions, dispositions, capital raising and debt restructuring, that our revenues will increase in 2020, and that we intend to invest in sales, marketing, product development and innovation, we are using forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to implement our strategic initiatives, economic, political and market conditions and fluctuations, government and industry regulation, interest rate risk, U.S. and global competition, and other factors. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control. You should consider the areas of risk described in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made herein. The business and operations of Reign Resources Corporation are subject to substantial risks, which increase the uncertainty inherent in the forward-looking statements contained in this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Further information on potential factors that could affect our business is described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 30, 2020 and in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

 

Corporate History and Background

 

Reign Resources Corporation was established on December 15, 2014 in the State of Delaware as a vertically integrated “source to retail” model for sapphires – rough sapphires to finished jewelry; a color gemstone brand; and a jewelry brand featuring Australian sapphires. The Company acquired its Coordinates Collection and Le Bloc brands and the assets related to the production and sale of it on December 1, 2016. On January 1, 2019, Reign Brands, Inc., a subsidiary of Reign Resources Corporation, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Co-Op Jewelers LLC (“Co-Op”), whereby Reign Brands, Inc. sold operating assets of Reign Brands, Inc., consisting of substantially all of the assets related to Coordinates Collection (“CCI”). On January 1, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), the parties executed the Asset Purchase Agreement and the final exhibits.

 

Upon the closing of the Agreement, Reign Brands, Inc. sold substantially all of the operating assets of the CCI business, consisting of fixed assets and intellectual property in exchange for an aggregate of $100,000 in cash. The Agreement contained customary closing conditions.

 

The Company is focusing its marketing initiatives on: (1) Direct-to-Consumer (“D2C”) ecommerce marketing to attract customers to the reignsappires.com website, (2) Business-to-Business (“B2B”) marketing and sales efforts, to establish distribution partners such as high-end fashion retailers.

 

The Company started as UWI Holdings Corporation (previously known as Australian Sapphire Corporation) (“UWI”) and was established on May 31, 2013 in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada. On December 31, 2014, UWI entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations with Reign Corporation, pursuant to which UWI transferred all of its net assets to Reign. The sole shareholder of UWI along with his spouse retained 100% ownership of Reign and were issued 27,845,000 of Reign common shares in exchange for the 16,000,250 outstanding shares of UWI. There was no significant tax consequence to this exchange. As a result, Reign is considered to be the continuation of the predecessor UWI. All historical financial information prior to the reorganization is that of UWI.

 

On March 17, 2017, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to designate 1 share of the Company’s authorized 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), which shall vote with the Common Stock, and shall be entitled to fifty-one percent (51%) of the total votes of Common Stock on all such matters voted on.

 

The Company has begun its planned principal operations, and accordingly, the Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

On November 13, 2019, the Company changed its corporate name to Reign Resources Corporation.

 

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The included (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s December 31, 2019 and 2018 audited financial statements filed on Form 10-K on March 30, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the full year. Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the financial statements as reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed on March 30, 2020, have been omitted.

The Company currently operates in one business segment. The Company is not organized by market and is managed and operated as one business. A single management team reports to the chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, who comprehensively manages the entire business. The Company does not currently operate any separate lines of businesses or separate business entities.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $16,229,000 and $16,076,000 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,613,000 and $2,514,000 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, had a net loss of approximately $153,000 and net profit of approximately $54,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $4,000 and $73,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, with limited revenue earned since inception, and a lack of operational history. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

While the Company is attempting to expand operations and increase revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues. Our current burn rate to maintain the minimal level of operations for us to be in a position to execute our business plan upon funding is anticipated to be no greater than $25,000 per month in cash. Joseph Segelman, our President and CEO, has agreed to underwrite these costs, if necessary, until we are then able to begin execution of our business plan.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

 9 

 

 

ASC 810 Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Reign Brands, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include among others: inventory valuation, derivative liabilities, warrant liabilities, common stock and option valuation, valuation of acquired intangible assets. and the recoverability of intangibles. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.

 

Cash

 

The Company’s cash is held in bank accounts in the United States and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any cash losses.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under an asset and liability approach. This process involves calculating the temporary and permanent differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which would be recorded on the Balance Sheets in accordance with ASC 740, which established financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income must be assessed and, to the extent that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. Changes in the valuation allowance in a period are recorded through the income tax provision in the consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

ASC 740-10-30 was adopted from the date of its inception. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s consolidated financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740-10 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs

 

Advertising and marketing costs are recorded as general and administrative expenses when they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were recorded of approximately $1,000 and $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income is reported in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income," which established standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.

 

Total comprehensive income is defined as all changes in shareholders' equity during a period, other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to shareholders (i.e., issuance of equity securities and dividends). Generally, total comprehensive income (loss) equals net income (loss) plus or minus adjustments for currency translation. There are no items other than net loss affecting comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ASC 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective approach for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. Results for the reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. As a result of adopting ASC 606, amounts reported under ASC 606 were not materially different from amounts that would have been reported under the previous revenue guidance of ASC 605, as such, no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

 

The Company generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

1. Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.
2. Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.
3. Determination of the transaction price.
4. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
5. Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

At contract inception, the Company assesses the services promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a service (or bundle of services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. The Company allocates the entire transaction price to a single performance obligation.

 

A description of our principal revenue generating activities are as follows:

 

Retail sales – The Company offers consumer products through its online websites. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded retail sales of $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Wholesale sales – The Company offers product sold in bulk to distributors. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded wholesale sales of $756 and $41,554, respectively.

 

Revenue is recognized from retail and wholesale sales when the product is shipped to the customer, provided that collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Credit is granted for wholesale sales generally for terms of 7 to 90 days, based on credit evaluations. No allowance has been provided for uncollectible accounts. Management has evaluated the receivables and believes they are collectable based on the nature of the receivables, historical experience of credit losses, and all other currently available evidence. Discounts are recorded as a reduction of the transaction price. Revenue excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties, including sales taxes.

 

The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of product sales and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. Generally, when the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, are subject to inventory risk, have latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, or have several but not all of these indicators, revenue is recorded at the gross sale price. The Company generally records the net amounts as commissions earned if we are not primarily obligated and do not have latitude in establishing prices. The Company records all revenue transactions at the gross sale price.

 

There is a no return policy. The return policy is currently being evaluated to be more in line with industry standards.

Deferred revenue

 

Deferred revenue consists of customer orders paid in advance of the delivery of the order. Deferred revenue is classified as short-term as the typical order ships within approximately three weeks of placing the order. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when the product is shipped to the customer and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Deferred revenue totaling $0 and $0 as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

Inventories

 

Reign Sapphire

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) on a lot basis each quarter. A lot is determined by the cut, clarity, size, and weight of the sapphires. Inventory consists of sapphire jewels that meet rigorous grading criteria and are of cuts and sizes most commonly used in the jewelry industry. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company carried primarily loose sapphire jewels, jewelry for sale on our website, and jewelry held as samples. Samples are used to show potential customers what the jewelry would look like. Promotional items given to customers that are not expected to be returned will be removed from inventory and expensed. There have been no promotional items given to customers as of March 31, 2020. The Company performs its own in-house assessment based on gem guide and the current market price for metals to value its inventory on an annual basis or if circumstances dictate sooner to determine if the estimated fair value is greater or less than cost. In addition, the inventory is reviewed each quarter by the Company against industry prices from gem-guide and if there is a potential impairment, the Company would appraise the inventory. The estimated fair value is subject to significant change due to changes in popularity of cut, perceived grade of the clarity of the sapphires, the number, type and size of inclusions, the availability of other similar quality and size sapphires, and other factors. As a result, the internal assessed value of the sapphires could be significantly lower from the current estimated fair value. Loose sapphire jewels do not degrade in quality over time. The estimated fair value per management’s internal assessment is greater than the cost, therefore, there is no indicator of impairment as of March 31, 2020.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. Fixed assets are examined for the possibility of decreases in value when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of tradenames, proprietary designs, developed technology – website, and developed technology – Ipad application. Our intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three to ten years.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Goodwill

 

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit containing goodwill is less than its carrying amount.  The goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process, if necessary. The first step is to compare the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. We typically use discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of a reporting unit. The assumptions used in these models are consistent with those we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the second step of the impairment test must be performed in order to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. There was no impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

We periodically evaluate whether the carrying value of property, equipment and intangible assets has been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable.  The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.  If the carrying value is not recoverable, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. There was no impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Our impairment analyses require management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows as well as asset fair values, including forecasting useful lives of the assets, assessing the probability of different outcomes, and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows. If the carrying value is not recoverable, we assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted techniques, and may use more than one method, including, but not limited to, recent third party comparable sales and discounted cash flow models.  If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and estimates, or our assumptions and estimates change due to new information, we may be exposed to an impairment charge in the future.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The provisions of accounting guidance, FASB Topic ASC 825 requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, and defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and convertible debt approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, quoted market prices or interest rates which fluctuate with market rates.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

 13 

 

 

The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. There were no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. The warrant and the embedded derivative liabilities are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2020 and are Level 3 measurements (see Note 8). There have been no transfers between levels.

 

The derivatives are evaluated under the hierarchy of ASC 480-10, ASC Paragraph 815-25-1 and ASC Subparagraph 815-10-15-74 addressing embedded derivatives. The fair value of the Level 3 financial instruments was performed internally by the Company using Monte Carlo valuation method.

 

The following table summarize the Company’s fair value measurements by level at March 31, 2020 for the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis: 

 

    Level 1    Level 2    Level 3 
Estimated fair value of stock issued for services  $26,916     $—     $—   

 

 

The following table summarize the Company’s fair value measurements by level at March 31, 2019 for the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

    Level 1    Level 2    Level 3 
Derivative liability  $—     $—     $—   

 

The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, other current assets, accounts payable, accruals, and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short period of time to maturity or repayment.

 

Convertible Notes Payable

 

The Company issues debt that may have separate warrants, conversion features, or no equity-linked attributes.

 

Debt with warrants – When the Company issues debt with warrants, the Company treats the warrants as a debt discount, record as a contra-liability against the debt, and amortize the balance over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statements of operations.  When the warrants require equity treatment under ASC 815, the offset to the contra-liability is recorded as additional paid in capital in our consolidated balance sheet.  When the Company issues debt with warrants that require liability treatment under ASC 815, such as a clause requiring repricing, the warrants are considered to be a derivative that is recorded as a liability at fair value.  If the initial value of the warrant derivative liability is higher than the fair value of the associated debt, the excess is recognized immediately as interest expense.  The warrant derivative liability is adjusted to its fair value at the end of each reporting period, with the change being recorded as expense or gain to Other (income) expense in the consolidated Statements of Operations.  If the debt is retired early, the associated debt discount is then recognized immediately as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statement of operations.  The debt is treated as conventional debt.

 

Convertible debt – derivative treatment – When the Company issues debt with a conversion feature, we must first assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, as follows: a) one or more underlyings, typically the price of our common stock; b) one or more notional amounts or payment provisions or both, generally the number of shares upon conversion; c) no initial net investment, which typically excludes the amount borrowed; and d) net settlement provisions, which in the case of convertible debt generally means the stock received upon conversion can be readily sold for cash. An embedded equity-linked component that meets the definition of a derivative does not have to be separated from the host instrument if the component qualifies for the scope exception for certain contracts involving an issuer’s own equity. The scope exception applies if the contract is both a) indexed to its own stock; and b) classified in shareholders’ equity in its statement of financial position.

 

 14 

 

 

If the conversion feature within convertible debt meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, we estimate the fair value of the convertible debt derivative using Monte Carlo Method upon the date of issuance. If the fair value of the convertible debt derivative is higher than the face value of the convertible debt, the excess is immediately recognized as interest expense. Otherwise, the fair value of the convertible debt derivative is recorded as a liability with an offsetting amount recorded as a debt discount, which offsets the carrying amount of the debt. The convertible debt derivative is revalued at the end of each reporting period and any change in fair value is recorded as a gain or loss in the statement of operations. The debt discount is amortized through interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Convertible debt – beneficial conversion feature – If the conversion feature is not treated as a derivative, we assess whether it is a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF exists if the conversion price of the convertible debt instrument is less than the stock price on the commitment date. This typically occurs when the conversion price is less than the fair value of the stock on the date the instrument was issued. The value of a BCF is equal to the intrinsic value of the feature, the difference between the conversion price and the common stock into which it is convertible, and is recorded as additional paid in capital and as a debt discount in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company amortizes the balance over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of debt discount expense in the statement of operations. If the debt is retired early, the associated debt discount is then recognized immediately as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

If the conversion feature does not qualify for either the derivative treatment or as a BCF, the convertible debt is treated as traditional debt.

 

Employee Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock based compensation issued to employees and members of our board of directors is measured at the date of grant based on the estimated fair value of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. The grant date fair value of a stock-based award is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period of the award on a straight-line basis.

 

For purposes of determining the variables used in the calculation of stock-based compensation issued to employees, the Company performs an analysis of current market data and historical data to calculate an estimate of implied volatility, the expected term of the option and the expected forfeiture rate. With the exception of the expected forfeiture rate, which is not an input, we use these estimates as variables in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Depending upon the number of stock options granted any fluctuations in these calculations could have a material effect on the results presented in our consolidated statements of operations. In addition, any differences between estimated forfeitures and actual forfeitures could also have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Non-Employee Stock Based Compensation

 

Issuances of the Company's common stock or warrants for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a "performance commitment" which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. Although situations may arise in which counter performance may be required over a period of time, the equity award granted to the party performing the service is fully vested and non-forfeitable on the date of the agreement. As a result, in this situation in which vesting periods do not exist as the instruments fully vested on the date of agreement, the Company determines such date to be the measurement date and will record the estimated fair market value of the instruments granted as a prepaid expense and amortize such amount to general and administrative expense in the accompanying statement of operations over the contract period. When it is appropriate for the Company to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates.

 

 15 

 

 

Non-Cash Equity Transactions

 

Shares of equity instruments issued for non-cash consideration are recorded at the fair value of the consideration received based on the market value of services to be rendered, or at the value of the stock given, considered in reference to contemporaneous cash sale of stock.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares (including common stock subject to redemption) plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the reporting period. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

The total number of potential additional dilutive securities outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, was none since the Company had net losses and any additional potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.

 

Related Parties

 

Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through employment, ownership or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Company. Australian Sapphire Corporation (“ASC”), a shareholder of the Company which is wholly-owned by Joseph Segelman, the Company's Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), is inactive and we have no transactions with ASC.

 

Segment Reporting

 

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. The Company identifies operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker internally evaluates separate financial information, business activities and management responsibility.  Accordingly, the Company has one reportable segment.

 

Concentrations, Risks, and Uncertainties

 

Business Risk

 

Substantial business risks and uncertainties are inherent to an entity, including the potential risk of business failure.

 

The Company is headquartered and operates in the United States. To date, the Company has generated limited revenues from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully continue to produce its products and failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Also, the success of the Company’s operations is subject to numerous contingencies, some of which are beyond management’s control. These contingencies include general economic conditions, price of raw material, competition, governmental and political conditions, and changes in regulations. Among other risks, the Company’s operations will be subject to risk of restrictions on transfer of funds, domestic and international customs, changing taxation policies, foreign exchange restrictions, and political and governmental regulations.

 

 16 

 

 

Interest rate risk

 

Financial assets and liabilities do not have material interest rate risk.

 

Credit risk

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk from its cash in banks and accounts receivable. The credit risk on cash in banks is limited because the counterparties are recognized financial institutions.

 

The Company had one customer that accounted for all revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020. There was one customer that accounted for 10% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company had one customer that accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2020 and no customers that accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivable at December 31, 2019.

 

Seasonality

 

The business is subject to substantial seasonal fluctuations.  Historically, a significant portion of net sales and net earnings have been realized during the period from October through December.

 

Major Suppliers

 

The Company does not manufacture its own products and currently depends primarily upon third parties to manufacture its products.

 

In the event that the manufacturing provided by our current supplier were discontinued, it is believed that alternate suppliers could be identified which would be able to provide it with sufficient levels of products at terms similar to those of our current supplier.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

In August 2018, the FASB amended "Fair Value Measurements" to modify the disclosure requirements related to fair value. The amendment removes requirements to disclose (1) the amount of and reasons for transfers between levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) our policy related to the timing of transfers between levels, and (3) the valuation processes used in level 3 measurements. It clarifies that, for investments measured at net asset value, disclosure of liquidation timing is only required if the investee has communicated the timing either to us or publicly. It also clarifies that the narrative disclosure of the effect of changes in level 3 inputs should be based on changes that could occur at the reporting date. The amendment adds a requirement to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used in level 3 measurements. The guidance is effective for the Company with the Company’s quarterly filing for the period ended March 31, 2020 and the Company will make the required disclosure changes in that filing. Adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position, and cash flows.

 

Retirement Plans

 

In August 2018, the FASB amended "Retirement Plans" to modify the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. For the Company, the amendment requires the disclosure of the weighted average interest crediting rate used for cash balance plans and an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. It removes the requirement to disclose the approximate amount of future benefits covered by insurance contracts. The guidance is effective for the Company with the Company’s annual filing for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the Company will make the required disclosure changes in that filing. Adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position, and cash flows.

Intangibles – Goodwill and other – Internal-Use Software

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The Company’s accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the proposed amendments and will continue to be expensed as incurred in accordance with existing guidance. This standard does not expand on existing disclosure requirements except to require a description of the nature of hosting arrangements that are service contracts. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. Entities can choose to adopt the new guidance prospectively or retrospectively. The Company plans to adopt the updated disclosure requirements of ASU No. 2018-15 prospectively in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and expects the impact from this standard to be immaterial.

 

Improvements to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07 “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards to employees and non-employees.  Under ASU 2018-07 the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions, except for specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. ASU 2018-07 should be applied to all new awards granted after the date of adoption. ASU 2018-07 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 effective January 1, 2019; such adoption had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) (ASU 2018-02), which amends existing standards for income statement-reporting comprehensive income to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statements users. ASU 2018-02 will be effective for beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 effective January 1, 2019; such adoption had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Goodwill

 

In January 2017, the FASB amended "Goodwill" to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The amended guidance eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, impairment is defined as the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, up to the total amount of goodwill of the reporting unit. The new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position, and cash flows.

 

 18 

 

 

Financial Instruments

 

In June 2016, the FASB amended "Financial Instruments" to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on debt instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. During November 2018 and April 2019, the FASB made amendments to the new standard that clarified guidance on several matters, including accrued interest, recoveries, and various codification improvements. The new standard, as amended, replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in the current standard with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to support credit loss estimates.  The new guidance is effective for us on January 1, 2020, and in the first half of 2019, we established an implementation team and began analyzing the impact on our current policies and procedures to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new standard. The implementation team reports findings and progress of the project to management on a frequent basis. Through this process, we have identified appropriate changes to our processes, systems, and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard.  The Company is still evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position, and cash flows.

 

Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Interim Financial Statements.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments 

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), to address diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. For public entities, the standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 effective January 1, 2018; such adoption had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Leases (ASU 2019-01)

 

In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements, which removed the requirement for an entity to disclose in the interim periods after adoption, the effect of the change on income from continuing operations, net income, any other affected financial statement line item, and any affected per share amount. For lessors, the new leasing standard requires leases to be classified as a sales-type, direct financing or operating leases. These criteria focus on the transfer of control of the underlying lease asset. This standard and related update was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019; such adoption had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements, given that the noncancelable term of the Company’s current lease is less than 12 months.

 

Leases (ASU 2016-02)

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases under ASC 840 “Leases.” These amendments also require qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company can elect to record a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the year of adoption or apply a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company expects that substantially all of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance and will be recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019; such adoption had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements, given that the noncancelable term of the Company’s current lease is less than 12 months.

The Notes mature on September 29, 2020, and provide for interest to accrue at a rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law after the occurrence of any event of default as provided in the Notes. At any time after the Issue Date, the holder of a Note, at its option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of Common Stock of the Company. The conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of a Note is $0.0025 per share, as amended on December 31, 2019, subject to adjustment as provided therein. The Notes, for example, are subject to adjustment upon certain events such as stock splits and if the Company issues any securities with more favorable terms than are described in the Notes, the holder of a Note, may, at the holder’s option, become a part of the more favorable transaction documents. Each Note also contains a prepayment penalty of 125% of the amount outstanding under the Note. The holder of a Note does not have the right to convert any portion of their Note if it (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Notes include customary events of default, including, among other things, payment defaults, covenant breaches, certain representations and warranties, certain events of bankruptcy, liquidation and suspension of the Company’s Common Stock from trading. If such an event of default occurs, the holder of a Note may be entitled to take various actions, which may include the acceleration of amounts due under such Note and accrual of interest.

 

The Purchase Agreement includes additional purchaser rights and Company obligations including obligations on the Company to satisfy the current public information requirements under SEC Rule 144(c), to reserve a sufficient number of shares underlying the Notes, and other customary representations and warranties.

 

January and February 2018

 

In January and February 2018, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance to Crossover Capital Fund II, LLC (“Crossover”) totaling (i) 833,332 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”); (ii) 3,000,000 redeemable shares (the “Redeemable Shares”), (iii) $294,000 aggregate principal amount of a convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) and (iv) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,960,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”) for aggregate consideration of $250,000 cash which was issued at a $44,000 original issue discount from the face value of the Note.  

 

The January and February 2018 Convertible Notes matured on March 31, 2020, as amended on December 31, 2019 and provide for interest to accrue at an interest rate equal to 10% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law after the occurrence of any event of default as provided in the Convertible Notes. The note is in default and the Company is currently in discussions to restructure the terms of the note. At any time after 180 days from the issue date, the holder, at its option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of common stock of the Company. The conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of the Convertible Notes is $0.0025 per share, as amended on December 31, 2019, subject to adjustment as provided therein, such as stock splits and stock dividends. There is also a one-time interest charge of 10% due at maturity.

 

If the Convertible Notes are prepaid on or prior to the maturity dates, all of the Redeemable Shares shall be returned to the treasury shares of the Company, without any payment by the Company for the Redeemable Shares. Further, if the Company prepays a portion of the Convertible Notes, but not the entire Convertible Notes, on or before the maturity dates, a pro rata portion of the Redeemable Shares shall be returned to the Company’s treasury in proportion to the prepayment amount as it relates to the entire Convertible Notes balance. On the 180th day, the conversion feature will be a derivative and recorded as interest expense.

 

The exercise price for the Warrants is $0.15, subject to adjustment, are exercisable for five years after the date of the Warrants and are exercisable in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a “cashless” exercise.

Purchaser Conversion

 

The January and February 2018 Convertible Notes purchaser has the right at any time after 180 days after the issue date until the outstanding balance of the Note has been paid in full, to convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of common stock of the Company divided by the January and February 2018 Convertible Notes purchaser conversion price of $0.08, subject to potential future adjustments, such as stock splits and stock dividends. If the total outstanding balance of the November 2017 Note were convertible as of March 31, 2020, the November 2017 Note would have been convertible into 3,675,000 shares of our common stock. No derivative liability has been recorded as of March 31, 2020, as conversion was contingent. On the 180th day, the conversion feature will be a derivative and recorded as interest expense. Subsequent to September 30, 2018, the 180 day period has expired and the Company has determined the fair value of the derivative to be immaterial.

 

Interest

 

The January and February 2018 Convertible Notes provide a one-time interest charge of 10% due at maturity totaling $29,400 that has been accrued within other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The interest was recorded as a debt discount to be accreted over the term of the convertible notes to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Redeemable Shares

 

The January and February 2018 Convertible Notes provide for a total of 3,000,000 redeemable common shares, valued totaling $450,000 and $103,560 based on the fair value and the relative fair value of each issuance, respectively. The relative fair value of the redeemable shares was recorded as a debt discount to be accreted over the term of the convertible notes to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. In October 2018, the January and February 2018 Crossover Purchase Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2018 and to remove the right of the Company to 3,000,000 of the Redeemable Shares and Crossover was issued the shares.

 

Common Stock

 

The January and February 2018 Convertible Notes purchasers were issued a total of 833,332 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $250,000 and $28,767 based on the fair value and relative fair value of the stock on the date of grant, respectively.

 

Warrants

 

The Company calculates the fair value of the Warrants at $95,324 and $65,292 at January 3, 2018 and February 16, 2018, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method. The Black-Scholes option-pricing method requires the use of subjective assumptions, including stock price volatility, the expected life of stock options, risk free interest rate and the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

 

Debt Discount

 

The Company issued the January and February 2018 Convertible Notes with warrants that require equity treatment under ASC 815. As such, the proceeds of the notes were allocated, based on relative fair values, as follows: original issue discount of $44,000, interest of $29,400, $28,767 to the common shares issued, $36,739 to the warrants granted, and $103,560 to the redeemable shares, resulting in a debt discount to such notes of $242,466. The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the note.

November 2017

 

On November 10, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “November 2017 Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance to certain institutional investors Alpha Capital Anstalt and Brio Capital Master Fund Ltd. (collectively “November 2017 Purchasers”) of up to (i) 833,354 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “November 2017 Incentive Shares”); (ii) $287,502 aggregate principal amount of Secured Convertible Notes (the “November 2017 Notes”) and (iii) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,593,776, shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “November 2017 Warrants”). The November 2017 Incentive Shares, November 2017 Notes and November 2017 Warrants were issued on November 10, 2017 (the “November 2017 Original Issue Date”). November 2017 Purchasers received (i) November 2017 Incentive Shares at the rate of 2.8986 November 2017 Incentive Shares for each $1.00 of November 2017 Note principal issued to such November 2017 Purchaser; (ii) a November 2017 Note with a principal amount of $1.00 for each $0.86956 for each $1.00 paid by each purchaser for such purchaser’s November 2017 Note; and (iii) November 2017 Warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of such purchaser’s November 2017 Note principal amount divided by $0.08 (“Purchaser Conversion Price”), the conversion price in effect on the Initial Closing Date, with a per share exercise price equal to $0.0025, as amended on December 31, 2019, subject to adjustment. The aggregate cash subscription amount received by the Company from the purchasers for the issuance of the November 2017 Incentive Shares, November 2017 Notes and November 2017 Warrants was approximately $250,002 (the “Subscription Amount”) which was issued at a $37,500 original issue discount from the face value of the Note.

 

The November 2017 Notes matured on March 31, 2020, as amended on December 31, 2019, and provide for interest to accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law after the occurrence of any event of default as provided in the November 2017 Notes. The note is in default and the Company is currently in discussions to restructure the terms of the note. At any time after the November 2017 Original Issue Date, the holders, at their option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of our Common Stock. The conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of a Note is $0.0025 per share, as amended on December 31, 2019, subject to adjustment as provided therein. Each November 2017 Note, for example, is subject to adjustment upon certain events such as stock splits and has full ratchet anti-dilution protections for issuance of securities by us at a price that is lower than the conversion price. Each November 2017 Note also contains certain negative covenants, including prohibitions on incurrence of indebtedness, liens, charter amendments, dividends, redemption. None of the holders of the November 2017 Note have the right to convert any portion of their November 2017 Note if it (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. The November 2017 Notes include customary events of default, including, among other things, payment defaults, covenant breaches, certain representations and warranties, certain events of bankruptcy, liquidation and suspension of the Company’s Common Stock from trading.  If such an event of default occurs, the holders of the November 2017 Notes may be entitled to take various actions, which may include the acceleration of amounts due under the November 2017 Notes and accrual of interest as described above. The November 2017 Notes are collectively collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and guarantees of payment of the November 2017 Notes have also been delivered by Joseph Segelman, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and Australian Sapphire Corporation (“ASC”), a shareholder of the Company which is wholly-owned by Joseph Segelman, guaranteed payment of all amounts owed under the November 2017 Notes, subject to the terms of such guaranty agreements.

The November 2017 Purchase Agreement is being entered into in accordance with the halachically accepted exemptions on the paying of interest payments in business transactions known as “heter iska”. The Company is still accounting for the interest in accordance with GAAP.

 

Optional Redemption

 

The November 2017 Notes provide that commencing six (6) months after the November 2017 Original Issue Date, the Company will have the option of prepaying the outstanding principal amount of the November 2017 Notes (an “November 2017 Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, by paying to the holders a sum of money in cash equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, if any, and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the holder arising under the November 2017 Note through the November 2017 Redemption Payment Date and 2.8986 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for each $1.00 of November 2017 Note principal amount being redeemed. A Notice of Redemption, if given, may be given on the first Trading Day following twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days during which all of the “Equity Conditions”, as defined, have been in effect.

 

The Company evaluated the Optional Redemption in ASC 815, and concluded that the Optional Redemption meets the criteria in ASC 815, and therefore, is accounted for as a liability.

 

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Optional Redemption was fair valued to be $0, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $0 and $0, respectively, on Optional Redemption valuation.

 

Purchaser Conversion

 

The November 2017 Purchaser has the right at any time after the November 2017 Original Issue Date until the outstanding balance of the Note has been paid in full, to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into shares (“November 2017 Purchaser Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, of the portion of the outstanding balance being converted (the “November 2017 Conversion Amount”) divided by the November 2017 Purchaser Conversion Price of $0.08, subject to potential future adjustments described below. If the total outstanding balance of the November 2017 Note were convertible as of March 31, 2020, the November 2017 Note would have been convertible into 3,593,776 shares of our common stock.

 

The Company evaluated the note under the requirements of ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and concluded that the Note does not fall within the scope of ASC 480. The Company next evaluated the November 2017 Note under the requirements of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Due to the existence of the anti-dilution provision which reduces the November 2017 Purchaser Conversion Price in the event of subsequent dilutive issuances by the Company below the November 2017 Purchaser Conversion Price as described above, the November 2017 Purchaser Conversion feature does not meet the definition of “indexed to” our stock, and the scope exception to ASC 815’s derivative accounting provisions does not apply. The Company also evaluated the embedded derivative criteria in ASC 815, and concluded that the Purchaser Conversion feature meets all of the embedded derivative criteria in ASC 815, and therefore, the November 2017 Purchaser Conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative that should be separated from the note and accounted for as a derivative liability.

 

The embedded derivative was recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet at its fair value of $165,000 at the date of issuance. At each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the embedded derivative liability will be remeasured and changes in the fair value will be recorded in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. At March 31, 2020, the embedded derivative was re-measured at fair value that was determined to be $0. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a loss of $0 and $52,000, respectively, on embedded derivative re-valuation.

 

 25 

 

 

On November 16, 2017, the November 2017 Notes were modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 and the Company re-measured the embedded derivative at fair value, which was determined to be $155,000 and recorded a modification of derivative liability charge of $5,000.

 

On January 25, 2018, the November 2017 Notes, November 2016 Notes, and December 2015 Notes were again modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 in which the Company issued a total of 2,395,650 restricted common shares, valued at $263,522 (based on the Company’s stock price on the measurement date) in consideration of the maturity date of the outstanding November 2017, November 2016, and December 2015 convertible notes being extended to December 31, 2018. The Company re-measured the embedded derivative at fair value just prior to and subsequent to the modification and recorded an extinguishment of debt of $12,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2018. In addition, the value of the restricted common shares of $263,522 was recorded as an extinguishment of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

November 2017 Purchaser Warrants

 

The November 2017 Purchaser Warrants allow the November 2017 Purchaser to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to 100% of such purchaser’s Note principal amount divided by $0.08, with a per share exercise price equal to $0.15, subject to adjustment.

 

The term of the Purchaser Warrants is at any time on or after the six (6) month anniversary of the November 2017 Original Issue Date and on or prior to the five (5) year anniversary of the November 2017 Initial Trading Date of our common stock on a Trading Market.

 

The exercise price of the November 2017 Purchaser Warrants is $0.15 per share of our common stock, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the November 2017 Purchaser Warrants.

 

The November 2017 Purchaser Warrants are exercisable by the November 2017 Purchaser in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a “cashless” exercise.

 

The Company evaluated the November 2017 Warrants under ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Due to the existence of the antidilution provision, which reduces the November 2017 Exercise Price and November 2017 Conversion Price in the event of subsequent November 2017 Dilutive Issuances, the November 2017 Purchaser Warrants are not indexed to our common stock, and the Company has determined that the November 2017 Purchaser Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815. Accordingly, the November 2017 Purchaser Warrants were recorded as derivative liabilities in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value of $290,612 at the date of issuance. At each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the Purchaser Warrants will be remeasured and changes in the fair value will be reported in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. On November 16, 2017, the November 2017 Warrants were modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 which eliminated the antidilution provision of the exercise price, fixed the exercise price at $0.15 per share, and fixed the number of shares the warrants can be exercised into; thereby eliminating the requirement for derivative accounting and liability classification. As a result, the warrant re-valuation was reclassified to additional paid-in-capital resulting in a warrant liability of $0 as of November 16, 2017.

 

November 2017 Purchaser Common Stock

 

The November 2017 Purchasers were issued a total of 833,354 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $163,171 (based on the stock price on the date of issuance).

 

 26 

 

 

Debt Discount

 

The Company issued the November 2017 Notes with warrants and conversion features that required liability treatment under ASC 815. As such, the proceeds of the notes were allocated, based on fair values, as follows: original issue discount of $37,497, $163,171 to the common shares issued; $290,612 to the warrants granted; and $165,000 to the embedded derivative, resulting in a debt discount to such notes of $287,502 with the remaining amount of approximately $369,000 expensed at inception of the note. The debt discount is accreted over the term of the convertible notes to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

On January 25, 2018, the November 2017 Notes were modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815. As a result, the Company recorded the elimination of debt discount of $224,904 to extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2018 with a debt discount of $0 as of March 31, 2018.

 

November 2016

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company previously entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “November 2016 Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance to certain institutional investors Alpha Capital Anstalt and Brio Capital Master Fund Ltd. (collectively “November 2016 Purchasers”) of up to (i) 833,354 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “November 2016 Incentive Shares”); (ii) $287,502 aggregate principal amount of Secured Convertible Notes (the “November 2016 Notes”) and (iii) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,593,775, as amended, shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “November 2016 Warrants”). The November 2016 Incentive Shares, November 2016 Notes and November 2016 Warrants were issued on November 10, 2016 (the “November 2016 Original Issue Date”). November 2016 Purchasers received (i) November 2016 Incentive Shares at the rate of 2.8986 November 2016 Incentive Shares for each $1.00 of November 2016 Note principal issued to such November 2016 Purchaser; (ii) a November 2016 Note with a principal amount of $1.00 for each $0.86956 for each $1.00 paid by each purchaser for such purchaser’s November 2016 Note; and (iii) November 2016 Warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of such purchaser’s November 2016 Note principal amount divided by $0.12 (“Purchaser Conversion Price”), the conversion price in effect on the Initial Closing Date, as amended on December 31, 2019 to $0.0025 per share, with a per share exercise price equal to $0.30, subject to adjustment. The aggregate cash subscription amount received by the Company from the purchasers for the issuance of the November 2016 Incentive Shares, November 2016 Notes and November 2016 Warrants was approximately $244,945 (the “Subscription Amount”) which was issued at a $42,557 original issue discount from the face value of the Note.

 

The November 2016 Notes matured on March 31, 2020, as amended on December 31, 2019, and provide for interest to accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law after the occurrence of any event of default as provided in the November 2016 Notes. The note is in default and the Company is currently in discussions to restructure the terms of the note. At any time after the November 2016 Original Issue Date, the holders, at their option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of our Common Stock. The initial conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of a Note was $0.12 per share, as amended on December 31, 2019 to $0.0025, subject to adjustment as provided therein. Each November 2016 Note, for example, is subject to adjustment upon certain events such as stock splits and has full ratchet anti-dilution protections for issuance of securities by us at a price that is lower than the conversion price. Each November 2016 Note also contains certain negative covenants, including prohibitions on incurrence of indebtedness, liens, charter amendments, dividends, redemption. None of the holders of the November 2016 Note have the right to convert any portion of their November 2016 Note if it (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. The November 2016 Notes include customary events of default, including, among other things, payment defaults, covenant breaches, certain representations and warranties, certain events of bankruptcy, liquidation and suspension of the Company’s Common Stock from trading.  If such an event of default occurs, the holders of the November 2016 Notes may be entitled to take various actions, which may include the acceleration of amounts due under the November 2016 Notes and accrual of interest as described above. The November 2016 Notes are collectively collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and guarantees of payment of the November 2016 Notes have also been delivered by Joseph Segelman, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and Australian Sapphire Corporation (“ASC”), a shareholder of the Company which is wholly-owned by Joseph Segelman, guaranteed payment of all amounts owed under the November 2016 Notes, subject to the terms of such guaranty agreements.

The November 2016 Purchase Agreement is being entered into in accordance with the halachically accepted exemptions on the paying of interest payments in business transactions known as “heter iska”. The Company is still accounting for the interest in accordance with GAAP.

The November 2016 Notes provide that commencing six (6) months after the November 2016 Original Issue Date, the Company will have the option of prepaying the outstanding principal amount of the November 2016 Notes (an “November 2016 Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, by paying to the holders a sum of money in cash equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, if any, and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the holder arising under the November 2016 Note through the November 2016 Redemption Payment Date and 2.8986 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for each $1.00 of November 2016 Note principal amount being redeemed. A Notice of Redemption, if given, may be given on the first Trading Day following twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days during which all of the “Equity Conditions”, as defined, have been in effect.

 

The Company evaluated the Optional Redemption in ASC 815, and concluded that the Optional Redemption meets the criteria in ASC 815, and therefore, is accounted for as a liability.

 

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Optional Redemption was recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheets using “Black Scholes Merton Method” modeling and at each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the Optional Redemption liability will be re-measured and changes in the fair value will be recorded in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. The Optional Redemption liability fair value was originally valued at $35,015 and was re-measured at fair value to be $0 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $0 and $0, respectively, on Optional Redemption valuation.

 

Purchaser Conversion

 

The November 2016 Purchaser has the right at any time after the November 2016 Original Issue Date until the outstanding balance of the Note has been paid in full, to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into shares (“November 2016 Purchaser Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, of the portion of the outstanding balance being converted (the “November 2016 Conversion Amount”) divided by the November 2016 Purchaser Conversion Price of $0.08, as amended on May 30, 2017, subject to potential future adjustments described below. If the total outstanding balance of the November 2016 Note were convertible as of March 31, 2020, the November 2016 Note would have been convertible into 3,593,775 shares of our common stock.

 

The Company evaluated the note under the requirements of ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and concluded that the Note does not fall within the scope of ASC 480. The Company next evaluated the November 2016 Note under the requirements of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Due to the existence of the anti-dilution provision which reduces the November 2016 Purchaser Conversion Price in the event of subsequent dilutive issuances by the Company below the November 2016 Purchaser Conversion Price as described above, the November 2016 Purchaser Conversion feature does not meet the definition of “indexed to” our stock, and the scope exception to ASC 815’s derivative accounting provisions does not apply. The Company also evaluated the embedded derivative criteria in ASC 815, and concluded that the Purchaser Conversion feature meets all of the embedded derivative criteria in ASC 815, and therefore, the November 2016 Purchaser Conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative that should be separated from the note and accounted for as a derivative liability.

The embedded derivative was recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet at its fair value of $32,016 at the date of issuance. At each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the embedded derivative liability will be remeasured and changes in the fair value will be recorded in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. At March 31, 2020, the embedded derivative was re-measured at fair value that was determined to be $0. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a gain of $0 and $0, respectively, on embedded derivative re-valuation, respectively.

 

On January 25, 2018, the November 2017 Notes, November 2016 Notes, and December 2015 Notes were again modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 in which the Company issued a total of 2,395,650 restricted common shares, valued at $263,522 (based on the Company’s stock price on the measurement date) in consideration of the maturity date of the outstanding November 2017, November 2016, and December 2015 convertible notes being extended to December 31, 2018. The Company re-measured the embedded derivative at fair value just prior to and subsequent to the modification and recorded an extinguishment of debt of $12,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2018. In addition, the value of the restricted common shares of $263,522 was recorded as an extinguishment of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

November 2016 Purchaser Warrants

 

The November 2016 Purchaser Warrants allow the November 2016 Purchaser to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to 100% of such purchaser’s Note principal amount divided by $0.08, as amended on May 30, 2017, with a per share exercise price equal to $0.15, as amended on November 16, 2017, subject to adjustment.

 

The term of the Purchaser Warrants is at any time on or after the six (6) month anniversary of the November 2016 Original Issue Date and on or prior to the five (5) year anniversary of the November 2016 Initial Trading Date of our common stock on a Trading Market.

 

The exercise price of the November 2016 Purchaser Warrants is $0.15, as amended on November 16, 2017, per share of our common stock, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the November 2016 Purchaser Warrants.

 

The November 2016 Purchaser Warrants are exercisable by the November 2016 Purchaser in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a “cashless” exercise.

 

The Company evaluated the November 2016 Warrants under ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Due to the existence of the antidilution provision, which reduces the November 2016 Exercise Price and November 2016 Conversion Price in the event of subsequent November 2016 Dilutive Issuances, the November 2016 Purchaser Warrants are not indexed to our common stock, and the Company has determined that the November 2016 Purchaser Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815. Accordingly, the November 2016 Purchaser Warrants were recorded as derivative liabilities in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value of $108,597 at the date of issuance. At each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the Purchaser Warrants will be remeasured and changes in the fair value will be reported in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. On November 16, 2017, the November 2016 Warrants were modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 which eliminated the antidilution provision of the exercise price, fixed the exercise price at $0.15 per share, and fixed the number of shares the warrants can be exercised into; thereby eliminating the requirement for derivative accounting and liability classification. As a result, the warrant re-valuation was reclassified to additional paid-in-capital resulting in a warrant liability of $0 as of November 16, 2017.

 

 29 

 

 

November 2016 Purchaser Common Stock

 

The November 2016 Purchasers were issued a total of 833,354 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $100,002 (based on the stock price on the date of issuance).

 

As of December 31, 2016, the total proceeds of $244,945 previously received by the Company for the November 2016 Note, November 2016 Purchaser Common Stock, and November 2016 Purchaser Warrants, was allocated first to the November 2016 Purchaser Common Stock, November 2016 Purchaser Warrants, and embedded derivative liabilities at their initial fair values determined at the issuance date. Since the difference between the full fair value of November 2016 Purchaser Common Stock, November 2016 Purchaser Warrants, and embedded derivative liabilities of $240,615 was less than the proceeds of $244,945, no additional amounts were recorded.

 

Debt Discount

 

The Company issued the November 2016 Notes with warrants and conversion features that require liability treatment under ASC 815. As such, the proceeds of the notes were allocated, based on fair values, as follows: $100,002 to the common shares issued; $108,567 to the warrants granted; $42,557 to the original issue discount; and $32,016 to the embedded derivative, resulting in a debt discount to such notes of $283,172. The debt discount is accreted over the term of the convertible notes to interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The Company recorded debt discount accretion of $0 and $0 to interest expense in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and has an unamortized debt discount of $0 as of March 31, 2020.

 

December 2015

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company previously entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance to certain institutional investors Alpha Capital Anstalt and Brio Capital Master Fund Ltd. (collectively “Purchasers”) of up to (i) 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “December 2015 Incentive Shares”); (ii) $862,500 aggregate principal amount of Secured Convertible Notes (the “December 2015 Notes”) and (iii) December 2015 Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,781,250, as amended, shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “December 2015 Warrants”). The December 2015 Incentive Shares, December 2015 Notes and December 2015 Warrants were issued on December 23, 2015 (the “Original Issue Date”). December 2015 Purchasers received (i) December 2015 Incentive Shares at the rate of 2.8986 December 2015 Incentive Shares for each $1.00 of December 2015 Note principal issued to such December 2015 Purchaser; (ii) a December 2015 Note with a principal amount of $1.00 for each $0.86956 for each $1.00 paid by each purchaser for such purchaser’s December 2015 Note; and (iii) December 2015 Warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of such purchaser’s December 2015 Note principal amount divided by $0.12 (“December 2015 Purchaser Conversion Price”), the conversion price in effect on the Initial Closing Date, as amended on December 31, 2019 to $0.0025, with a per share exercise price equal to $0.15, as amended on November 16, 2017, subject to adjustment. The aggregate cash subscription amount received by the Company from the purchasers for the issuance of the December 2015 Incentive Shares, December 2015 Notes and December 2015 Warrants was approximately $724,500 (the “December 2015 Subscription Amount”) which was issued at a $138,000 original issue discount from the face value of the December 2015 Note.

 

The December 2015 Notes matured on March 31, 2020, as amended on December 31, 2019, and provide for interest to accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law after the occurrence of any event of default as provided in the December 2015 Notes. The note is in default and the Company is currently in discussions to restructure the terms of the note. At any time after the December 2015 Original Issue Date, the holders, at their option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The initial conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of a December 2015 Note was $0.12 per share, as amended on December 31, 2019 to $0.0025, subject to adjustment as provided therein. Each December 2015 Note, for example, is subject to adjustment upon certain events such as stock splits and has full ratchet anti-dilution protections for issuance of securities by us at a price that is lower than the conversion price. Each December 2015 Note also contains certain negative covenants, including prohibitions on incurrence of indebtedness, liens, charter

amendments, dividends, redemption. None of the holders of the December 2015 Note have the right to convert any portion of their December 2015 Note if it (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. The December 2015 Notes include customary events of default, including, among other things, payment defaults, covenant breaches, certain representations and warranties, certain events of bankruptcy, liquidation and suspension of the Company’s Common Stock from trading.  If such an event of default occurs, the holders of the December 2015 Notes may be entitled to take various actions, which may include the acceleration of amounts due under the December 2015 Notes and accrual of interest as described above. The December 2015 Notes are collectively collateralized by substantially all of our assets and guarantees of payment of the December 2015 Notes have also been delivered by Joseph Segelman, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and Australian Sapphire Corporation (“ASC”), a shareholder of the Company which is wholly-owned by Joseph Segelman, guaranteed payment of all amounts owed under the December 2015 Notes, subject to the terms of such guaranty agreements.

 

In addition, until one year after the initial trading date of a Registration Statement which registers all then outstanding or issuable underlying shares, the December 2015 Purchasers shall have the right to participate in an amount of subsequent financing equal to 100% of the December 2015 Purchase Agreement. As of December 31, 2016, this requirement was waived pursuant to the terms of the Consent, Waiver and Modification Agreement with certain Purchasers of Purchase Agreement dated December 23, 2015.

 

The Purchase Agreement is being entered into in accordance with the halachically accepted exemptions on the paying of interest payments in business transactions known as “heter iska”. The Company is still accounting for the interest in accordance with GAAP.

 

In January and March 2020, holders of the Company’s December 2015 Notes elected to convert principal of $10,000 and $7,500 of accrued interest due on the December 2015 Notes into a total of 7,000,000 common shares.

 

December 2015 Optional Redemption

 

The December 2015 Notes provide that commencing six (6) months after the December 2015 Original Issue Date, the Company will have the option of prepaying the outstanding principal amount of the December 2015 Notes (an “December 2015 Optional Redemption”), in whole or in part, by paying to the holders a sum of money in cash equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, if any, and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the holder arising under the December 2015 Note through the December 2015 Redemption Payment Date and 2.8986 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for each $1.00 of December 2015 Note principal amount being redeemed. A Notice of Redemption, if given, may be given on the first Trading Day following twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days during which all of the “Equity Conditions”, as defined, have been in effect.

 

The Company evaluated the Optional Redemption in ASC 815, and concluded that the Optional Redemption meets the criteria in ASC 815, and therefore, is accounted for as a liability.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Optional Redemption was recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet using “Monte Carlo Method” modeling and at each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the Optional Redemption liability will be re-measured and changes in the fair value will be recorded in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. The Optional Redemption liability fair value was originally valued at $199,150 and was re-measured at fair value to be $0 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $0 and $0, respectively, on Optional Redemption valuation.

December 2015 Purchaser Conversion

 

The December 2015 Purchaser has the right at any time after the December 2015 Original Issue Date until the outstanding balance of the December 2015 Note has been paid in full, to convert all or any part of the outstanding balance into shares (“December 2015 Purchaser Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, of the portion of the outstanding balance being converted (the “December 2015 Conversion Amount”) divided by the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion Price of $0.08, as amended on May 30, 2017, subject to potential future adjustments described below. If the total outstanding balance of the Note were convertible as of March 31, 2020, the December 2015 Note would have been convertible into 10,781,250 shares of our common stock.

 

The Company evaluated the note under the requirements of ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and concluded that the December 2015 Note does not fall within the scope of ASC 480. The Company next evaluated the December 2015 Note under the requirements of ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Due to the existence of the anti-dilution provision which reduces the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion Price in the event of subsequent dilutive issuances by the Company below the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion Price as described above, the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion feature does not meet the definition of “indexed to” the Company’s stock, and the scope exception to ASC 815’s derivative accounting provisions does not apply. The Company also evaluated the embedded derivative criteria in ASC 815, and concluded that the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion feature meets all of the embedded derivative criteria in ASC 815, and therefore, the December 2015 Purchaser Conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative that should be separated from the note and accounted for as a derivative liability.

 

The embedded derivative was recorded as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheet using “Monte Carlo Method” modeling and at each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the embedded derivative liability will be remeasured and changes in the fair value will be recorded in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. The original fair value of the derivative was $88,983 and at March 31, 2019, the embedded derivative was re-measured at fair value that was determined to be $0. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded a gain of $0 and a gain of $0 on embedded derivative re-valuation, respectively.

 

On January 25, 2018, the November 2017 Notes, November 2016 Notes, and December 2015 Notes were again modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 in which the Company issued a total of 2,395,650 restricted common shares, valued at $263,522 (based on the Company’s stock price on the measurement date) in consideration of the maturity date of the outstanding November 2017, November 2016, and December 2015 convertible notes being extended to December 31, 2018. The Company re-measured the embedded derivative at fair value just prior to and subsequent to the modification and recorded an extinguishment of debt of $35,999 in the three months ended March 31, 2018. In addition, the value of the restricted common shares of $263,522 was recorded as an extinguishment of debt in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

 

December 2015 Purchaser Warrants

 

The December 2015 Purchaser Warrants allow the December 2015 Purchaser to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 100% of such purchaser’s Note principal amount divided by $0.08, as amended on May 30, 2017, with a per share exercise price equal to $0.15, as amended on November 16, 2017, subject to adjustment.

 

The term of the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants is at any time on or after the six (6) month anniversary of the December 2015 Original Issue Date and on or prior to the five (5) year anniversary of the December 2015 Initial Trading Date of the Company’s common stock on a Trading Market.

 

The exercise price of the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants is $0.15, as amended on November 16, 2017, per share of the Company’s common stock, as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants.

 

The December 2015 Purchaser Warrants are exercisable by the Purchaser in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a “cashless” exercise.

 

 32 

 

 

The Company evaluated the Warrants under ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity” and ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Due to the existence of the antidilution provision, which reduces the Exercise Price and Conversion Price in the event of subsequent Dilutive Issuances, the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common stock, and the Company determined that the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815.

 

At each subsequent reporting date, the fair value of the Purchaser Warrants will be remeasured and changes in the fair value will be reported in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. The original fair value of the warrants were $439,107. On November 16, 2017, the December 2015 Purchaser Warrants were modified in accordance with ASC 470-50-40 and ASC 815 which eliminated the antidilution provision of the exercise price, fixed the exercise price at $0.15 per share, and fixed the number of shares the warrants can be exercised into; thereby eliminating the requirement for derivative accounting and liability classification. As a result, the warrant re-valuation was reclassified to additional paid-in-capital resulting in a warrant liability of $0 as of November 16, 2017.

 

December 2015 Purchaser Common Stock

 

The December 2015 Purchasers were issued a total of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $625,000 (based on the estimated fair value of the stock on the date of grant).

 

Debt Discount

 

The Company issued the December 2015 Notes with warrants that require liability treatment under ASC 815. As such, the proceeds of the notes were allocated, based on fair values, as follows: original issue discount of $138,000, $625,000 to the common shares issued, $439,107 to the warrants granted, and $88,983 to the embedded derivative, resulting in a debt discount to such notes of $862,500 with the remaining amount of approximately $429,000 expensed at inception of the note. The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the note.

 

The Company recorded debt discount accretion of $0 and $0 to interest expense in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and has no unamortized debt discount remaining as of March 31, 2020.

 

NOTE 9 – SHORT TERM NOTES PAYBALE

 

On June 30, 2017, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement, a Secured Promissory Note (“Note”) and a personal guarantee with respect to the funding by certain institutional investors Alpha Capital Anstalt and Brio Capital Master Fund Ltd. of up to $1,125,000 in debt. The Company, until December 31, 2018, has the ability to request quarterly advances of up to the lesser of (i) $250,000 or (ii) one sixth (1/6) of the revenue reported in the Form 10-Q or 10-K for the previous calendar quarter or previous fiscal year, whichever is most recent, provided that such revenue generated a profit of at least 10 percent (10%). The investors may advance the funds in their absolute discretion. In June 2017, the Company was advanced $125,005. The Note shall become due and payable 18 months from each advance date. The Company must make payments to the investors in an amount of $350, including interest at 10% per annum, every business day from the date of the first advance, which shall be increased proportionately upon each advance. The Note is secured with the assets of the Company pursuant to a security agreement dated December 23, 2015. In addition, the Company’s CEO has personally guaranteed the Note. As additional consideration for the loan, the investors received 1,500,000 shares of restricted common stock, in aggregate, valued at $105,000 (based on our stock price on the date of grant) along with $2,500 in cash for reimbursement of expenses incurred and recorded as debt issuance costs with a balance at June 30, 2017 of $107,500.

 

 33 

 

 

In January 2018, the Company was advanced an additional $60,010 under the Note with no additional shares issued. In March 2018, the Company was advanced an additional $60,010 under the Note with 600,000 additional shares to be issued. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had not issued the shares and has recorded a common stock payable and a debt discount of $55,500 (based on our stock price on the date of grant). The shares were issued in April 2018 and the shares were reclassed from common stock payable to equity. The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the note.

 

The Agreement and Note are being entered into in accordance with the halachically accepted exemptions on the paying of interest payments in business transactions known as “heter iska”. The Company is still accounting for the interest in accordance with GAAP.

 

NOTE 10 – STOCK TRANSACTIONS

 

Preferred Stock

 

On March 17, 2017, the Company held an annual meeting of its shareholders. At the annual meeting, the majority shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the articles of incorporation, authorizing one share of Series A Preferred stock, which would be issued to Joseph Segelman. The share of Series A Preferred stock shall vote together as a single class with the holders of the Company’s common stock, and the holders of any other class or series of shares entitled to vote with the common stock, with the holder of the Series A Preferred stock being entitled to fifty-one percent (51%) of the total votes on all such matters regardless of the actual number of shares of Series A Preferred stock then outstanding, and the holders of the common stock and any other shares entitled to vote shall be entitled to their proportional share of the remaining forty-nine percent (49%) of the total votes based on their respective voting power. The share of Series A Preferred stock shall not be entitled to receive any distributions in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary. The share of Series A Preferred stock shall not be eligible to receive dividends. The class of Series A Preferred stock shall be automatically cancelled ten (10) years after the initial issue date of such Series A Preferred stock.

 

On May 19, 2017, the Company received the file stamped certificate of amendment from the state of Delaware, which lists an effective date of March 20, 2017. On May 23, 2017, the Company issued the share of Series A Preferred stock to Joseph Segelman, valued at $270,000 (based on the estimated fair value of the stock and control premium on the date of grant), which will allow Mr. Segelman to maintain fifty-one percent (51%) voting control of the Company regardless of how many shares of common stock are issued and outstanding. Therefore, the Company considers the Series A Preferred stock to be issued on May 23, 2017.

 

Common Stock

 

On March 31, 2020, the Company issued a total of 2,500,000 restricted common shares to a third-party in conjunction with a joint venture, valued at $13,750 (based on the Company’s stock price on the measurement date) (see Note 14).

 

On February 25, 2020, the Company issued a total of 5,000,000 restricted common shares to a third-party for outside consulting services with 1,666,666 shares vesting each month for three months. The Company recorded $13,166 in the three months ended March 31, 2020 (based on the Company’s stock price on the measurement date). The Company will value the shares at each vesting period and recognize expense for the portion of the shares earned.

 

In January and March 2020, holders of the Company’s December 2015 Notes elected to convert principal of $10,000 and $7,500 of accrued interest due on the December 2015 Notes into a total of 7,000,000 common shares.

NOTE 11 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

 

As of March 31, 2019, the board of directors and shareholders of the Company previously authorized the adoption and implementation of the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The principal purpose of the 2015 Plan is to attract, retain and motivate employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company and its related companies by providing them the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and to link their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of the Company's shareholders. Under the 2015 Plan, an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock have initially been reserved for issuance pursuant to a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock and cash-based awards. The exercise price for each option may not be less than fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and shall vest as determined by the Company’s board of directors but shall not exceed a ten-year period.

 

In April 2018, the Company issued a total of 98,000 restricted common shares to its employees, valued at $7,742 (based on our stock price on the date of grant) as compensation pursuant to the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.

NOTE 13 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) computations.

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same since the Company had net losses for all periods presented and including the additional potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

 

   For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
   2020  2019
       
Loss from continuing operations  $(153,214)  $(184,355)
Gain of disposal of discontinued operations   —       238,315 
Net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders  $(153,214)  $53,960
           
Basic weighted average outstanding shares of common stock   86,151,529    81,272,408 
Dilutive effect of options and warrants   —       —    
Diluted weighted average common stock and common stock equivalent   86,151,529    81,272,408 
           
Loss per share:          
Net loss per share total, basic and diluted  $(0.00)  $(0.00)

Financing Transactions

 

Convertible Note Payable

 

In January and March 2020, holders of the Company’s December 2015 Notes elected to convert principal of $10,000 and $7,500 of accrued interest due on the December 2015 Notes into a total of 7,000,000 common shares.

 

On September 29, 2019 (“Issue Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance of up to $125,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) with Alpha Capital, Brio Capital, and Crossover Capital. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $75,020 and $70,020, respectively, was loaned, in aggregate, by the investors.

 

The Notes mature on September 29, 2020, and provide for interest to accrue at a rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law after the occurrence of any event of default as provided in the Notes. At any time after the Issue Date, the holder of a Note, at its option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of Common Stock of the Company. The conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of a Note is $0.0025 per share, as amended on December 31, 2019, subject to adjustment as provided therein. The Notes, for example, are subject to adjustment upon certain events such as stock splits and if the Company issues any securities with more favorable terms than are described in the Notes, the holder of a Note, may, at the holder’s option, become a part of the more favorable transaction documents. Each Note also contains a prepayment penalty of 125% of the amount outstanding under the Note. The holder of a Note does not have the right to convert any portion of their Note if it (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Notes include customary events of default, including, among other things, payment defaults, covenant breaches, certain representations and warranties, certain events of bankruptcy, liquidation and suspension of the Company’s Common Stock from trading. If such an event of default occurs, the holder of a Note may be entitled to take various actions, which may include the acceleration of amounts due under such Note and accrual of interest.

 

The Purchase Agreement includes additional purchaser rights and Company obligations including obligations on the Company to satisfy the current public information requirements under SEC Rule 144(c), to reserve a sufficient number of shares underlying the Notes, and other customary representations and warranties.

In January and February 2018, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance to Crossover Capital Fund II, LLC (“Crossover”) totaling (i) 833,332 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”); (ii) 3,000,000 redeemable shares (the “Redeemable Shares”), (iii) $294,000 aggregate principal amount of a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Notes”) and (iv) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,960,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”) for a net aggregate consideration of $250,000 cash.  

 

The January and February 2018 Convertible Notes mature on March 31, 2020, as amended on December 31, 2019, and provide for interest to accrue at an interest rate equal to 10% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law after the occurrence of any event of default as provided in the Convertible Notes. The note is in default and the Company is currently in discussions to restructure the terms of the note. At any time after 180 days from the Issue Date, the holder, at its option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of common stock of the Company. The initial conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of a Convertible Notes is $0.08 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein. There is also a one-time interest charge of 10% due at maturity.

 

If the Convertible Notes are prepaid on or prior to the maturity date, all of the Redeemable Shares shall be returned to the treasury shares of the Company, without any payment by the Company for the Redeemable Shares. Further, if the Company prepays a portion of the Convertible Notes, but not the entire Convertible Notes, on or before the maturity date, a pro rata portion of the Redeemable Shares shall be returned to the Company’s treasury in proportion to the prepayment amount as it relates to the entire Convertible Notes balance.

 

In October 2018, the January and February 2018 Crossover Purchase Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2018 and to remove the right of the Company to 3,000,000 of the Redeemable Shares and Crossover was issued the shares.

 

The exercise price for the Warrants is $0.15, subject to adjustment, are exercisable for five years after the date of the Warrant and are exercisable in whole or in part, as either a cash exercise or as a “cashless” exercise.

Until December 31, 2018, we have the ability to request quarterly advances of up to the lesser of (i) $250,000 or (ii) one sixth (1/6) of the revenue reported in the Form 10-Q or 10-K for the previous calendar quarter or previous fiscal year, whichever is most recent, provided that such revenue generated a profit of at least 10 percent (10%). The investors may advance the funds in their absolute discretion. In June 2017, the Company was advanced $125,005. The Note shall become due and payable 18 months from each advance date. We must make payments to the investors in an amount of $350, including interest at 10% per annum, every business day from the date of the first advance, which shall be increased proportionately upon each advance. The Note is secured with our assets pursuant to a security agreement dated December 23, 2015. In addition, our CEO has personally guaranteed the Note. As additional consideration for the loan, the investors received 1,500,000 shares of restricted common stock, in aggregate, valued at $105,000 (based on our stock price on the date of grant) along with $2,500 in cash for reimbursement of expenses incurred and recorded as debt issuance costs of $107,500.

 

In January 2018, we were advanced an additional $60,010 under the Note with no additional shares issued. In March 2018, we were advanced an additional $60,010 under the Note with 600,000 additional shares to be issued. As of March 31, 2018, we had not issued the shares and has recorded a common stock payable and a debt discount of $55,500 (based on our stock price on the date of grant). The shares were issued in April 2018 and the shares were reclassed from common stock payable to equity. The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the note.

 

The Agreement and Note are being entered into in accordance with the halachically accepted exemptions on the paying of interest payments in business transactions known as “heter iska”. We are still accounting for the interest in accordance with GAAP.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

 

There is limited historical financial information about us on which to base an evaluation of our performance. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, and possible cost overruns due to increases in the cost of services. To become profitable and competitive, we must receive additional capital. We have no assurance that future financing will materialize. If that financing is not available we may be unable to continue operations.

How We Generate Revenue

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ASC 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective approach for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. Results for the reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. As a result of adopting ASC 606, amounts reported under ASC 606 were not materially different from amounts that would have been reported under the previous revenue guidance of ASC 605, as such, no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

 

The Company generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

1. Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.
2. Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.
3. Determination of the transaction price.
4. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
5. Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

 43 

 

 

At contract inception, the Company assesses the services promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a service (or bundle of services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. The Company allocates the entire transaction price to a single performance obligation.

 

A description of our principal revenue generating activities are as follows:

 

Retail sales – The Company offers consumer products through its online websites. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded retail sales of $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Wholesale sales – The Company offers product sold in bulk to distributors. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded wholesale sales of $756 and $41,554, respectively.

 

Revenue is recognized from retail and wholesale sales when the product is shipped to the customer, provided that collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Credit is granted for wholesale sales generally for terms of 7 to 90 days, based on credit evaluations. No allowance has been provided for uncollectible accounts. Management has evaluated the receivables and believes they are collectable based on the nature of the receivables, historical experience of credit losses, and all other currently available evidence. Discounts are recorded as a reduction of the transaction price. Revenue excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties, including sales taxes.

 

The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of product sales and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. Generally, when the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, are subject to inventory risk, have latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, or have several but not all of these indicators, revenue is recorded at the gross sale price. The Company generally records the net amounts as commissions earned if we are not primarily obligated and do not have latitude in establishing prices. The Company records all revenue transactions at the gross sale price.

 

There is a no return policy. The return policy is currently being evaluated to be more in line with industry standards.

 

General and administrative expenses consist of the cost of customer service, billing, cost of information systems and personnel required to support our operations and growth.

 

Costs associated with product shipping and handling are expensed as incurred. Shipping and handling costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations, were $243 and $2,257 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Depending on the extent of our future growth, we may experience significant strain on our management, personnel, and information systems. We will need to implement and improve operational, financial, and management information systems. In addition, we are implementing new information systems that will provide better record-keeping, customer service and billing. However, there can be no assurance that our management resources or information systems will be sufficient to manage any future growth in our business, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

   $739   $(6,166)

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities – For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $4,261. Net cash used in operations was primarily due to a net loss of $153,214, and the changes in operating assets and liabilities of $112,237, primarily due to the net changes in accounts payable of $16,121, due to related party of $33,827, inventory of $263, accounts receivable of $756, and other current liabilities of $62,782. In addition, net cash provided by operating activities was offset primarily by adjustments to reconcile net profit from the estimated fair value of stock issued for services of $26,916, depreciation expense of $345, and amortization expense of $9,455.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $72,833. Net cash used in operations was primarily due to a net profit of $53,960, and the changes in operating assets and liabilities of $105,301, primarily due to the net changes in accounts payable of $540, accrued compensation – related party of $65,000, due to related party of $20,294, inventory of $8,244, and other current liabilities of $11,223.

 46 

 

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities – For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had no net cash used in investing activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $100,000 due to proceeds from sale of business.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities – For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in financing activities was $5,000 due to proceeds from short term convertible notes. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $33,333 due to repayments of short-term notes.

 

Financing – We expect that our current working capital position, together with our expected future cash flows from operations will be insufficient to fund our operations in the ordinary course of business, anticipated capital expenditures, debt payment requirements and other contractual obligations for at least the next twelve months. However, this belief is based upon many assumptions and is subject to numerous risks, and there can be no assurance that we will not require additional funding in the future.

 

We have no present agreements or commitments with respect to any material acquisitions of other businesses, products, product rights or technologies or any other material capital expenditures. However, we will continue to evaluate acquisitions of and/or investments in products, technologies, capital equipment or improvements or companies that complement our business and may make such acquisitions and/or investments in the future. Accordingly, we may need to obtain additional sources of capital in the future to finance any such acquisitions and/or investments. We may not be able to obtain such financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Due to the ongoing global economic crisis, we believe it may be difficult to obtain additional financing if needed. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our shareholders, in the case of equity financing.

 

Convertible Note Payable

 

On September 29, 2019 (“Issue Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance of up to $125,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) with Alpha Capital, Brio Capital, and Crossover Capital. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $75,020 and $70,020, respectively, was loaned, in aggregate, by the investors.

 

The Notes mature on September 29, 2020, and provide for interest to accrue at a rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law after the occurrence of any event of default as provided in the Notes. At any time after the Issue Date, the holder of a Note, at its option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of Common Stock of the Company. The conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of a Note is $0.0025 per share, as amended on December 31, 2019, subject to adjustment as provided therein. The Notes, for example, are subject to adjustment upon certain events such as stock splits and if the Company issues any securities with more favorable terms than are described in the Notes, the holder of a Note, may, at the holder’s option, become a part of the more favorable transaction documents. Each Note also contains a prepayment penalty of 125% of the amount outstanding under the Note.

 

In January and February 2018, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance to Crossover Capital Fund II, LLC (“Crossover”) totaling (i) 833,332 shares of our Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”); (ii) 3,000,000 redeemable shares (the “Redeemable Shares”), (iii) $294,000 aggregate principal amount of a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Notes”) and (iv) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,960,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”) for a net aggregate consideration of $250,000 cash.

The note is in default and the Company is currently in discussions to restructure the terms of the note. At any time after 180 days from the Issue Date, the holder, at its option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of common stock of the Company. The conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of a Convertible Notes is $0.0025 per share, as amended on December 31, 2019, subject to adjustment as provided therein, such as stock splits and stock dividends. There is also a one-time interest charge of 10% due at maturity.

Further, if the Company prepays a portion of the Convertible Notes, but not the entire Convertible Notes, on or before the maturity date, a pro rata portion of the Redeemable Shares shall be returned to the Company’s treasury in proportion to the prepayment amount as it relates to the entire Convertible Notes balance.

 

In October 2018, the January 2018 Crossover Purchase Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2018 and to remove the right of the Company to 3,000,000 of the Redeemable Shares and Crossover was issued the shares.

Note Payable

 

On June 30, 2017, we entered into a Loan Agreement, a Secured Promissory Note (“Note”) and a personal guarantee with respect to the funding by certain institutional investors Alpha Capital Anstalt and Brio Capital Master Fund Ltd. of up to $1,125,000 in debt. Until December 31, 2018, we have the ability to request quarterly advances of up to the lesser of (i) $250,000 or (ii) one sixth (1/6) of the revenue reported in the Form 10-Q or 10-K for the previous calendar quarter or previous fiscal year, whichever is most recent, provided that such revenue generated a profit of at least 10 percent (10%). The investors may advance the funds in their absolute discretion. In June 2017, the Company was advanced $125,005. The Note shall become due and payable 18 months from each advance date. We must make payments to the investors in an amount of $350, including interest at 10% per annum, every business day from the date of the first advance, which shall be increased proportionately upon each advance. The Note is secured with our assets pursuant to a security agreement dated December 23, 2015. In addition, our CEO has personally guaranteed the Note. As additional consideration for the loan, the investors received 1,500,000 shares of restricted common stock, in aggregate, valued at $105,000 (based on our stock price on the date of grant) along with $2,500 in cash for reimbursement of expenses incurred and recorded as debt issuance costs with a balance at December 31, 2017 of $107,500.

The shares were issued in April 2018 and the shares were reclassed from common stock payable to equity. The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the note.

 

The Agreement and Note are being entered into in accordance with the halachically accepted exemptions on the paying of interest payments in business transactions known as “heter iska”. We are still accounting for the interest in accordance with GAAP.

Stock Based Compensation

 

As of December 31, 2016, our board of directors and shareholders previously authorized the adoption and implementation of the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The principal purpose of the 2015 Plan is to attract, retain and motivate employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors to us and our related companies by providing them the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in us and to link their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of our shareholders. The material terms of the 2015 Plan are summarized in “Executive Compensation Plans and Other Benefit Plans” in this filing. Under the 2015 Plan, an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of our common stock have initially been reserved for issuance pursuant to a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock and cash-based awards.

 

In April 2018, the Company issued a total of 98,000 restricted common shares to its employees, valued at $7,742 (based on our stock price on the date of grant) as compensation pursuant to the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.

Other Capital Expenditures

 

We expect to purchase approximately $30,000 of equipment in connection with the expansion of our business.

 

Fiscal year end

 

Our fiscal year end is December 31.

 

Going Concern

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We had an accumulated deficit of approximately $16,229,000 and $16,076,000 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, had a working capital deficit of $2,613,000 and $2,514,000 at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, had a net loss of approximately $153,000 and net profit of approximately $54,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $4,000 and $73,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

While we are attempting to expand operations and increase revenues, our cash position may not be significant enough to support our daily operations. We intend to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. We believe that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to further implement our business plan and generate revenues. Our current burn rate to maintain the minimal level of operations for us to be in a position to execute our business plan upon funding is anticipated to be no greater than $25,000 per month in cash. Joseph Segelman, our President and CEO, has agreed to underwrite these costs, if necessary, until we are able to begin execution of our business plan.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Commission has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and which require us to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below. We also have other key accounting policies that are significant to understanding our results.

 

The following are deemed to be the most significant accounting policies affecting us.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include among others: inventory valuation, warrant liability valuation, derivative liability valuation, common stock and option valuation, and the recoverability of intangibles. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification ASC 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective approach for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. Results for the reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. As a result of adopting ASC 606, amounts reported under ASC 606 were not materially different from amounts that would have been reported under the previous revenue guidance of ASC 605, as such, no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

 

We generate all of our revenue from contracts with customers. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services. We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

1. Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.
2. Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.
3. Determination of the transaction price.
4. Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
5. Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

At contract inception, we assess the services promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a service (or bundle of services) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, we consider all of the services promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. We allocate the entire transaction price to a single performance obligation.

 

A description of our principal revenue generating activities are as follows:

 

Retail sales – The Company offers consumer products through its online websites. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded retail sales of $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Wholesale sales – The Company offers product sold in bulk to distributors. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded wholesale sales of $756 and $41,554, respectively.

 

Revenue is recognized from retail and wholesale sales when the product is shipped to the customer, provided that collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Credit is granted for wholesale sales generally for terms of 7 to 90 days, based on credit evaluations. No allowance has been provided for uncollectible accounts. Management has evaluated the receivables and believes they are collectable based on the nature of the receivables, historical experience of credit losses, and all other currently available evidence. Discounts are recorded as a reduction of the transaction price. Revenue excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third parties, including sales taxes.

 

The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of product sales and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. Generally, when the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, are subject to inventory risk, have latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, or have several but not all of these indicators, revenue is recorded at the gross sale price. The Company generally records the net amounts as commissions earned if we are not primarily obligated and do not have latitude in establishing prices. The Company records all revenue transactions at the gross sale price.

 

There is a no return policy. The return policy is currently being evaluated to be more in line with industry standards.

 

 51 

 

 

Accounts Receivable

 

We record trade receivables when revenue is recognized. When appropriate, we will record an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is primarily determined by review of specific trade receivables. Those accounts that are doubtful of collection are included in the allowance. These provisions are reviewed to determine the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Trade receivables are charged off when there is certainty as to their being uncollectible. Trade receivables are considered delinquent when payment has not been made within contract terms. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no allowance for doubtful accounts. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no accounts written-off.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue consists of customer orders paid in advance of the delivery of the order. The Company classifies deferred revenue as short-term as the typical order ships within three weeks of placing the order. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when the product is shipped to the customer and all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) on a lot basis each quarter. A lot is determined by the cut, clarity, size, and weight of the sapphires. Our inventory consists of loose sapphire jewels that meet rigorous grading criteria and are of cuts and sizes most commonly used in the jewelry industry. As of March 31, 2020, inventory consists of loose sapphire jewels, finished jewelry for sale on our website, and jewelry held as samples. Samples are used to show potential customers what the jewelry would look like. Promotional items given to customers that are not expected to be returned will be removed from inventory and expensed. We perform our own in-house assessment based on gem guide and the current market price for metals to value its inventory on an annual basis or if circumstances dictate sooner to determine if the estimated fair value is greater or less than cost. In addition, we review the inventory each quarter against industry prices from gem-guide and if there is a potential impairment, we would appraise the inventory. The estimated fair value is subject to significant change due to changes in popularity of cut, perceived grade of the clarity of the sapphires, the number type and size of inclusions, the availability of other similar quality and size sapphires, and other factors. As a result, the internal assessment of the sapphires could be significantly lower from the current estimated fair value. Our loose sapphire jewels do not degrade in quality over time.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of tradenames, proprietary designs, developed technology – website, and developed technology – Ipad application. Our intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three to ten years.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Goodwill

 

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit containing goodwill is less than its carrying amount.  The goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process, if necessary. The first step is to compare the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. We typically use discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of a reporting unit. The assumptions used in these models are consistent with those we believe hypothetical marketplace participants would use. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the second step of the impairment test must be performed in order to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

 

 52 

 

 

We periodically evaluate whether the carrying value of property, equipment and intangible assets has been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable.  The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.  If the carrying value is not recoverable, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value.

 

Our impairment analyses require management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows as well as asset fair values, including forecasting useful lives of the assets, assessing the probability of different outcomes, and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows. If the carrying value is not recoverable, we assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted techniques, and may use more than one method, including, but not limited to, recent third party comparable sales and discounted cash flow models.  If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and estimates, or our assumptions and estimates change due to new information, we may be exposed to an impairment charge in the future.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

Issuances of our common stock or warrants for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. However, situations may arise in which counter performance may be required over a period of time but the equity award granted to the party performing the service is fully vested and non-forfeitable on the date of the agreement. As a result, in this situation in which vesting periods do not exist as the instruments fully vested on the date of agreement, we determine such date to be the measurement date and will record the estimated fair market value of the instruments granted as a prepaid expense and amortize such amount to general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statements of Operations over the contract period. When it is appropriate for us to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates.

 

For purposes of determining the variables used in the calculation of stock compensation expense under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 505, “Equity” and FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” we perform an analysis of current market data and historical Company data to calculate an estimate of implied volatility, the expected term of the option and the expected forfeiture rate. With the exception of the expected forfeiture rate, which is not an input, we use these estimates as variables in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Depending upon the number of stock options granted, any fluctuations in these calculations could have a material effect on the results presented in our condensed consolidated Statements of Operations and comprehensive income. In addition, any differences between estimated forfeitures and actual forfeitures could also have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

Non-Cash Equity Transactions

 

Shares of equity instruments issued for non-cash consideration are recorded at the fair value of the consideration received based on the market value of services to be rendered, or at the value of the stock given, considered in reference to contemporaneous cash sale of stock.

 

 53 

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We apply the provisions of accounting guidance, FASB Topic ASC 825 that requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, and defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of inventory, accrued compensation - related party, and advance from shareholder approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, quoted market prices or interest rates which fluctuate with market rates.

 

Debt

 

We issue debt that may have separate warrants, conversion features, or no equity-linked attributes.

 

Debt with warrants – When we issue debt with warrants, we treat the warrants as a debt discount, record as a contra-liability against the debt, and amortize the balance over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of debt discount expense in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. The offset to the contra-liability is recorded as additional paid in capital in our balance sheet. We determine the value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“Black-Scholes”) using the stock price on the date of issuance, the risk free interest rate associated with the life of the debt, and the volatility of our stock. If the debt is retired early, the associated debt discount is then recognized immediately as amortization of debt discount expense in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. The debt is treated as conventional debt.

 

Convertible debt – derivative treatment – When we issue debt with a conversion feature, we must first assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, as follows: a) one or more underlyings, typically the price of our common stock; b) one or more notional amounts or payment provisions or both, generally the number of shares upon conversion; c) no initial net investment, which typically excludes the amount borrowed; and d) net settlement provisions, which in the case of convertible debt generally means the stock received upon conversion can be readily sold for cash. An embedded equity-linked component that meets the definition of a derivative does not have to be separated from the host instrument if the component qualifies for the scope exception for certain contracts involving an issuer’s own equity. The scope exception applies if the contract is both a) indexed to its own stock; and b) classified in shareholders’ equity in its statement of financial position.

 

If the conversion feature within convertible debt meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, we estimate the fair value of the convertible debt derivative using Black-Scholes upon the date of issuance. If the fair value of the convertible debt derivative is higher than the face value of the convertible debt, the excess is immediately recognized as interest expense. Otherwise, the fair value of the convertible debt derivative is recorded as a liability with an offsetting amount recorded as a debt discount, which offsets the carrying amount of the debt. The convertible debt derivative is revalued at the end of each reporting period and any change in fair value is recorded as a gain or loss in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. The debt discount is amortized through interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Convertible debt – beneficial conversion feature – If the conversion feature is not treated as a derivative, we assess whether it is a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF’). A BCF exists if the conversion price of the convertible debt instrument is less than the stock price on the commitment date. This typically occurs when the conversion price is less than the fair value of the stock on the date the instrument was issued. The value of a BCF is equal to the intrinsic value of the feature, the difference between the conversion price and the common stock into which it is convertible, and is recorded as additional paid in capital and as a debt discount in the Balance Sheet. We amortize the balance over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of debt discount expense in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. If the debt is retired early, the associated debt discount is then recognized immediately as amortization of debt discount expense in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

If the conversion feature does not qualify for either the derivative treatment or as a BCF, the convertible debt is treated as traditional debt.

September 2019 Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On September 29, 2019 (“Issue Date”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the sale and issuance of up to $125,000 aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) with Alpha Capital, Brio Capital, and Crossover Capital. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $75,020 and $70,020, respectively, was loaned, in aggregate, by the investors .

 

The Notes mature on September 29, 2020, and provide for interest to accrue at a rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law after the occurrence of any event of default as provided in the Notes. At any time after the Issue Date, the holder of a Note, at its option, may convert the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest into shares of Common Stock of the Company. The conversion price for the principal and interest in connection with voluntary conversions by a holder of a Note is $0.0025 per share, as amended on December 31, 2019, subject to adjustment as provided therein. The Notes, for example, are subject to adjustment upon certain events such as stock splits and if the Company issues any securities with more favorable terms than are described in the Notes, the holder of a Note, may, at the holder’s option, become a part of the more favorable transaction documents. Each Note also contains a prepayment penalty of 125% of the amount outstanding under the Note. The holder of a Note does not have the right to convert any portion of their Note if it (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Notes include customary events of default, including, among other things, payment defaults, covenant breaches, certain representations and warranties, certain events of bankruptcy, liquidation and suspension of the Company’s Common Stock from trading. If such an event of default occurs, the holder of a Note may be entitled to take various actions, which may include the acceleration of amounts due under such Note and accrual of interest.

 

The Purchase Agreement includes additional purchaser rights and Company obligations including obligations on the Company to satisfy the current public information requirements under SEC Rule 144(c), to reserve a sufficient number of shares underlying the Notes, and other customary representations and warranties.

As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information in Item 3.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in SEC Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), using the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") (2013), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, management identified deficiencies that were determined to be a material weakness.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in disclosure controls and procedures, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules.

 

 59 

 

 

The specific material weaknesses identified by the Company’s management as of end of the period covered by this report include the following:

 

we have not performed a risk assessment and mapped our processes to control objectives;

 

we have not implemented comprehensive entity-level internal controls;

 

we have not implemented adequate system and manual controls; and;

 

we do not have sufficient segregation of duties. As such, the officers approve their own related business expense reimbursements

 

Despite the material weaknesses reported above, our management believes that our financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and that this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report.

 

This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this report.

The weaknesses and their related risks are not uncommon in a company of our size because of the limitations in the size and number of staff. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties has not always been possible and may not be economically feasible.

 

However, we plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting.  During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above.  To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes in the current fiscal year as resources allow:

 

(i)appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and implement modifications to our financial controls to address such inadequacies;

 

The remediation efforts set out herein will be implemented in the current 2020 fiscal year.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

 

Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and procedures on an ongoing basis.
