Corporate History and Background

 

On December 1, 2016, substantially all of the operating assets of Coordinates Collection, Inc. (“CCI” or “Coordinates Collection”) was acquired by Reign Sapphire Corporation (RGNP“ or the “Company”), (see “Acquisition of Assets Related to the Coordinates Collection Business”). RGNP is a Beverly Hills-based, direct-to-consumer, branded and custom jewelry company. As part of the Acquisition, we created a wholly owned subsidiary, Reign Brands, Inc. (“Reign Brands”), which is a Delaware corporation, and shall act as the operating entity for the acquired CCI assets. The acquisition method of accounting was used to record assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Successor. Such accounting generally results in increased amortization and depreciation reported in future periods. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor and Successor are not comparable in all material respects since those consolidated financial statements report financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of these two separate entities. CCI’s fixed assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired were recorded based upon their estimated fair values as of the closing date of the Acquisition.  The excess of purchase price over the value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been presented on a comparative basis. For periods after the acquisition of the Coordinates Collection (since December 1, 2016), our financial results are referred to as “Successor” and its results of operations combines Reign Corporation operations and the Coordinates Collection operations. For periods prior to the acquisition of the Coordinates Collection brand, our financial results are referred to as “Predecessor” and its operations includes only the Coordinates Collection operations. Where tables are presented, a black line separates the Successor and Predecessor financial information to highlight the lack of comparability between the periods.

 

Predecessor

 

CCI, previously known as FD9 Group, Inc., markets and distributes classic custom jewelry through Le Bloc and custom jewelry, inscribed with location coordinates commemorating life’s special moments through Coordinates Collection. CCI was organized as a Delaware corporation in 2013 and is currently based in Los Angeles, California.

 

On December 21, 2015, the shareholders of CCI approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to change the name to “Coordinates Collection Inc.”, increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 1,000,000 to 15,000,000, par value $0.0001, eliminate the authorized preferred stock, convert each outstanding share of common stock into 9.8 shares of common stock, and convert each outstanding share of preferred stock into 1.16 shares of common stock. This transaction was accounted for as a stock split. CCI has retroactively restated per share and the outstanding shares for weighted average shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for all periods presented, as a result of the reorganization.

 

Successor

 

RGNP is a Beverly Hills-based, direct-to-consumer, branded and custom jewelry company with 4 niche brands: Reign Sapphires: ethically produced, direct mine-to-consumer sapphire jewelry targeting millennials, Coordinates Collection: custom jewelry, inscribed with location coordinates commemorating life’s special moments, and Le Bloc: classic customized jewelry and athleisure jewelry brand ION Collection by Jen Selter.

 

Reign Sapphire Corporation was established on December 15, 2014 in the State of Delaware as a vertically integrated “source to consumer” model for sapphires and sapphire jewelry. 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 (See Note 4).

 

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.

 

Prior to the reorganization, the Company was authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. On May 8, 2015, the Company’s Articles of incorporation were amended to increase the authorized common shares to 100,000,000 and preferred shares to 10,000,000. On December 22, 2015, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were amended to increase the authorized number common shares to 150,000,000 with the authorized number of preferred shares remaining at 10,000,000.

 

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”).
