FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains “forward-looking statements”. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.
Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “could,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement. You should, however, consult further disclosures we make in future filings of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties. The factors impacting these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
- | our current lack of working capital; | |
- | inability to raise additional financing; | |
- | that our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we report our financial condition and results of operations, and they may require our management to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain; | |
- | deterioration in general or regional economic conditions; | |
- | adverse state or federal legislation or regulation that increases the costs of compliance, or adverse findings by a regulator with respect to existing operations; | |
- | inability to efficiently manage our operations; | |
- | inability to achieve future sales levels or other operating results; and | |
- | the unavailability of funds for capital expenditures. |
For a detailed description of these and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement, please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this document.
Throughout this Annual Report references to “we”, “our”, “us”, “12 ReTech”, “RETC”, “the Company”, and similar terms refer to 12 ReTech Corporation.

Note 2 – Going Concern
The Company accounts for going concern matters under the guidance of ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entities Ability to Continue as a” Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). The guidance in ASU 2014-15 sets forth management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern as well as required disclosures. ASU 2014-15 indicates that, when preparing financial statements for interim and annual financial statements, management should evaluate whether conditions or events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This evaluation should include consideration of conditions and events that are either known or are reasonably knowable at the date the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, as well as whether it is probable that management’s plans to address the substantial doubt will be implemented and, if so, whether it is probable that the plans will alleviate the substantial doubt.
8 |
These interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a total accumulated deficit totaling $26,660,984 since inception, has not yet generated significant revenue from its operations, and will require additional funds to maintain its normal operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. These interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 – Acquisitions
The Company accounts for all business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities, including any remaining non-controlling interests, are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, and is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets, liabilities, may be made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period would be recorded as income. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the Company’s results from operations from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired assets. The Company expenses all costs as incurred related to an acquisition in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Red Wire Group, LLC.
On February 19, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Red Wire Group, LLC. (“RWG”) a Utah limited liability company, pursuant to a share exchange agreement whereby the Company exchanged the Company’s Series D-5 and Series D-6 for 100% of the outstanding equity of RWG. Pursuant to the terms of the exchange agreement, the Company acquired (i) 75% of the membership interests of RWG in exchange for 54,000 shares of the Company’s Series D-6 Preferred Stock (stated value of $5.00 per share), and (ii) the remaining 25% of the membership interests of RWG in exchange for 37,500 shares of the Company’s Series D-5 Preferred Stock (stated value of $4.00 per share).
The powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Series D-5 and Series D-6 Preferred Stock are set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K and exhibits attached thereto previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 11, 2019.
RWG continued its operations uninterrupted following the closing and retained key employees. The exchange agreement included customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The closing of the Exchange Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions, including that the Members have not materially misrepresented any of the representations contained in the Exchange Agreement and its exhibits.
The Company has consolidated the acquisition effective February 1, 2019 to simplify the accounting under ASC 805 purchase accounting as it pertains to the acquisition of the RWG.

Goodwill | 480,381 | |||
Liabilities | (136,501 | ) | ||
Net consideration provided | $ | 450,000 |
10 |
The fair values of the net assets acquired were determined using the market approach, which indicates value for a subject asset based on available market pricing for comparable assets. The fair value of the fixed assets of $58,110 has been determined by a third-party valuation firm and is valued at its estimated sale price. The Company also capitalized assets of approximately $48,000. The fair value of the debt has been determined using an appropriately required payment amount.
The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimates of the fair values at the acquisition date, with the amount exceeding the estimated fair values being recorded as goodwill.
The fixed assets are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives of 5 years. Goodwill recorded will not be amortized but tested for impairment at least annually, which will occur during the fourth quarter of the current year. The Company assumed the liabilities of the RWG of $136,501.
RWG results of operations have been included in the Company’s operating results for the period subsequent to the February 1, 2019. RWG contributed revenues of $529,201 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Rune continued its operations uninterrupted during closing and retained certain key employees. The exchange agreement included customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The closing of the exchange agreement was subject to certain closing conditions, including that the Members have not materially misrepresented any of the representations contained in the exchange agreement and its exhibits.

Emotion Apparel, Inc. & Emotion Fashion Group, Inc.
On May 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of E-motion Apparel, Inc. (“EAI”) a California corporation, pursuant to a share exchange agreement whereby the Company exchanged 1.0 million of its common shares for 100% of the outstanding equity of EAI, in a third-party transaction. (This company shed this subsidiary as of September 30th, 2019 see below).
The Original EAI Transaction was accounted for as follows: The fair value of the 1.0 million shares of common stock issued amounted to $80,000. EAI owned four wholly-owned and majority –owned subsidiaries: Lexi Luu Designs, Inc, (a Nevada Corporation), Punkz Gear, Inc, (a Wyoming Corporation), Cleo VII, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) and Skipjack Dive & Dance Wear, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation), which together owns five microbrands that were included in this transaction and target specific niche markets: Lexi-Luu Dancewear, Punkz Gear, Cleo VII, Skipjack Dive & Dance Wear, and E-motion Apparel, Inc. The acquisition of EAI was accounted for under ASC 805 where purchase price was allocated based on assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date May 1, 2018, at the estimated fair value. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company determined that the goodwill associated with the acquisition should be fully impaired, and as such was expensed during the fourth quarter of 2018.
On July 6, 2018, the Company incorporated an new Emotion Apparel, Inc. in the state of Utah and immediately re-named it as Emotion Fashion Group, Inc. (“Emotion Fashion Group” or “EFG”) and does business under the brand name, “Emotion Fashions.”
The EAI share exchange agreement included terms that the Company would provide funding of at least $200,000 in the first 12 months after acquisition and the Seller, who remained as manager, would produce revenues in excess of $1.3 million dollars over that period. The Company secured its investment with a secured line of credit and a landlord’s lien through one of its other subsidiaries. Those liens covered all of the intellectual property and physical assets of Emotion Apparel, Inc. On September 30, 2019 the Company effectively foreclosed on its liens taking possession of the assets including the brands; Lexi-Luu, Emotion Fashion Group, Punkz Gear and retuned the stock in Emotion Apparel, Inc. and its subsidiaries to the Seller. In the 4th quarter 2019 the Company plans to market those brands under new management as part of its consolidation of its acquisitions and utilize its Emotion Fashion Group, Inc, subsidiary that was incorporated in Utah in July 2018. As a result, the related accounts payable and accrued expenses which were payable by Emotion Apparel, Inc. which totaled $511,486 including $250,000 Note Payable, were offset to other income. For further details see Note 6 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses and 9 Notes Payable for further details.
12 Japan, LTD.
After the initial acquisition of 12 Hong Kong, LTD during 2017 and the first half of 2018 the Company made several acquisitions including; 12 Japan, LTD. Subsequent to this acquisitions the Company took steps to consolidate the assets and streamline operations that effectively by the end the 3rd quarter 2019, this Company’s no longer function as independent subsidiaries.
12 Japan LTD, in order to streamline operations in the third quarter the Company closed the physical offices in Japan and while revenues continue to be generated in Japan through its flagship customer ITOYA it is serviced under a licensing agreement by 12 Hong Kong Ltd. Management believes that these changes will result in a profit for the Company, from operations in Japan beginning in the 4th quarter of 2019.
12 Europe, A.G.
12 Europe A.G. which was acquired in 2017 has underperformed against expectation. In the third quarter 2019 it was determined by management that the costs of continuing to support the expenses of an independent 12 Europe A.G., were unsupportable. Therefore, the Company reaffirmed its previous master representation agreement between 12 Hong Kong, LTD and Coppola, AG so that the software customers in Europe can continue to be supported and then closed its operations in Europe. On August 20, 2019, the Company had successfully discharged all of its debts associated with 12 Europe A.G., as part of the completion of the 12 Europe A.G., bankruptcy filing except for certain social benefit payments still owed approximately $35K by the Company. Therefore, this subsidiary is no longer in existence. Management does not consider this closure as a condition for discontinued operations as master representation agreement between 12 Europe is now been transferred to 12 Hong Kong and Coppola AG. As such, software customer in Europe will continue to be supported.
Bluwire Group, LLC.
On October 1, 2019, the Company acquired a retailer with 11 airport terminal locations and one casino location under an equity exchange agreement. Under the terms of the agreement the Company issued to the sellers 500,000 Series A Preferred Shares in exchange for 51% of the equity in Bluwire Group, LLC and its subsidiaries (“Bluwire”). The Sellers retained 30% of Bluwire and 19% is reserved for 12 months for potential equity investors into Bluwire. Any of this equity reserve not used to raise capital for Bluwire over that period would be divided equally between the Company and the Sellers. The Sellers will continue to manage Bluwire under consulting agreements. See filed 8K between the Company and Bluwire Group, LLC on October 16, 2019.
The Company is expected to consolidate this acquisition effective October 1, 2019, under ASC 805 purchase accounting. However, the accounting impact of this acquisition, including the purchase price and fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, is still being determined and will the result of an independent valuation and will be shown as part of the Company’s 2019 10-K.

Note 4 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited condensed consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2018 have been omitted. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2019.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries 12HK, 12JP, 12EU. 12 Retail, Rune NYC, LLC, Red Wire Group, LLC (“RWG”), and Emotion Fashion Group which included Emotion Apparel, Inc., Lexi Luu Designs, Inc., Punkz Gear, Skipjack Dive and Dance Wear, Inc. and Cleo VII, Inc. Since January 2019, the consolidation includes both Rune and RWG which were acquired in the first quarter 2019. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. We currently have no investments accounted for using the equity or cost methods of accounting. On October 1, 2019, Bluwire Group, LLC will be included in the consolidation.
13 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.
Software Development Costs
At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 software development costs totaled $0 and $371,118, respectively. Capitalized costs related to the software under development are treated as an asset until the development is completed and the software is available for licensure under a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) arrangement. Periodically, management reviews its capitalized costs to determine if they are properly valued or should they be impaired. As of June 30, 2019, management had capitalized approximately $513,601 in development costs for its 12 Technology suite and 12 Sconti APP. While management still believes in the long-term validity of these software applications, the fact remains that adoption by retailers has not met management’s expectations. As a result, management believed that the capitalized costs for the software development should be fully impaired as of that date. As of September 30, 2019, management has not since revised its opinion. Please see Management, Discussion Analysis for further details in the resulting cutting of costs in 12 Europe and 12 Japan.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of businesses over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.
The goodwill amount of $480,381 related to the acquisition of RWG and $394,440 related to the acquisition of Rune as of September 30, 2019. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment, or if circumstances occur that more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company has determined that there has been no impairment of goodwill at September 30, 2019. The Company performs its annual test during the fourth quarter.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and services in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete typically when services or products are provided to the customer.
Convertible Debt and Convertible Preferred Stock
When the Company issues convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and second whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of a convertible debt instrument or certain convertible preferred stock would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a standalone instrument, meets the definition of an “embedded derivative” in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s equity, as defined in ASC 815-40, or when it must be settled either in cash or by issuing stock that is readily convertible to cash. When a conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative, it would be separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations.
If a conversion feature does not meet the conditions to be separated and accounted for as an embedded derivative liability, the Company then determines whether the conversion feature is “beneficial”. A conversion feature would be considered beneficial if the conversion feature is “in the money” when the host instrument is issued or, under certain circumstances, later. If convertible debt contains a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), the amount of the amount of the proceeds allocated to the BCF reduces the balance of the convertible debt, creating a discount which is amortized over the debt’s term to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
When a convertible preferred stock contains a BCF, after allocating the proceeds to the BCF, the resulting discount is either amortized over the period beginning when the convertible preferred stock is issued up to the earliest date the conversion feature may be exercised, or if the convertible preferred stock is immediately exercisable, the discount is fully amortized at the date of issuance. The amortization is recorded similar to a dividend.

Derivative Liabilities and Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect our own assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, defined as follows:
Level 1 | — | Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
Level 2 | — | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated with observable market data. | |
Level 3 | — | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability as of the reporting date. |
The Company carries certain derivative financial instruments using inputs classified as “Level 3” in the fair value hierarchy on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The Company classified certain conversion features in the convertible notes issued during 2019 and 2018 as embedded derivative instruments due to down-round ratchet provisions and potential adjustments to conversion prices due to events of default and accordingly measures and carries the conversion features as derivative liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Also, the Company determined that the certain notes should be measured and carried at fair value in the consolidated financial statements according to ASC 480, as they are settleable in a variable number of shares based on a fixed monetary amount known at inception. These fair value estimates were measured using inputs classified as “Level 3” of the fair value hierarchy. The Company develops unobservable “Level 3” inputs using the best information available in the circumstances, which might include its own data, or when it believes inputs based on external data better reflect the data that market participants would use, its bases its inputs on comparison with similar entities. Due to the existence of down round provisions, which create a path-dependent nature of the conversion prices of the convertible notes, the Company decided a Black Scholes Simulation model, which incorporates inputs classified as “Level 3” was appropriate.
The conversion feature was recognized as an embedded derivative and was valued using a Black Scholes model that resulted in a derivative liability of $14,494,342 and $2,696,470 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

In connection with convertible notes payable, the Company records derivative liabilities for the conversion feature. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded initial derivative liabilities of $3,229,344. Upon initial valuation, the derivative liability exceeded the face value certain of the convertible note payables by approximately $1,637,572, which was recorded as a day one loss on derivative liability. On December 31, 2018, the derivative liabilities were revalued at $2,696,470 resulting in a loss of $760,508 related to the change in fair market value of the derivative liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2018. In connection with convertible notes, as disclosed in Note 8, the Company reclassified derivative liabilities with a fair value of $1,418,516 to additional paid-in capital during year ended December 31, 2018. The Company revalued the derivative liabilities at each conversion date recording the pro-rata portion of the derivative liability as compared to the portion of the convertible note converted to the pre-conversion carrying value to additional paid-in capital.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded additional derivative liabilities of $1,150,152 related to convertible notes payable and $2,717,043 for various series of preferred stock. The Company also recorded $4,555,575 of additional derivative liability for the default reserve related to the potential additional liability for the default on convertible notes and certain Series D Preferred Stock. See further details convertible notes below and management discussion analysis section. On September 30, 2019, the derivative liabilities were revalued at $14,494,342 resulting in a loss of $4,169,269 related to the change in fair market value of the derivative liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Management views these convertible notes, due to their conversion feature to be viewed as equity, and the expenses associated through derivative calculations to be estimates that are only finalized once the actual conversion has been consummated. For the balance outstanding, please see Note 8.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity, as it is mandatorily redeemable by the holder at a future date. The Series D-2 Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity due to the fact that it is redeemable immediately. The Series D-3 Preferred Stock is also classified as temporary equity due to the existence of the PUT. Under the terms of the acquisition of the Red Wire Group, certain members received Series D-5 with a PUT option with a face value of $150,000. If those members so elect, to not convert those shares to common stock, they have the right to PUT those shares to the Company for cash. This would be an additional cash constraint on the company. For additional detail, See Note 3 Acquisitions.

Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company follows ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“EPS”), which requires presentation of basic EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. As a subsequent event, on October 18, 2019, the Company successfully completed its reverse stock split and reduced its common stock outstanding by a ratio of one hundred for one. Per ASC 505-10, if a reverse split occurs after the date of the latest reported balance sheet but before the release of the financial statements, then such changes in the capital structure must be given retroactive effect in the balance sheet. As such, the reverse split has been retroactively applied to these financial statements.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities were exercised or converted into common stock or other contracts to issue common stock resulting in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the Company’s earnings subject to anti-dilution limitations. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have an anti-dilutive impact. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes payable, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series D-2 Preferred Stock, Series D-3 Preferred Stock, Series D-5 Preferred Stock and Series D-6 Preferred Stock (using the if converted method). All potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact. If all dilutive securities were converted the Company would be in excess of their authorized shares of common stock.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to stockholders and notes payable. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Those liens covered all of the intellectual property and physical assets of Emotion Apparel, Inc. On September 30, 2019 the Company effectively foreclosed on its liens taking possession of the assets including the brands; Lexi-Luu, Emotion Fashion Group, Punkz Gear and retuned the stock in Emotion Apparel, Inc. and its subsidiaries to the Seller. In the 4th quarter 2019 the Company plans to market those brands under new management as part of its consolidation of its acquisitions and utilize its Emotion Fashion Group, Inc, subsidiary that was incorporated in Utah in July 2018. |
Business and Operations
Brick and mortar retailers continue to struggle against online competition, even though online sites haven’t changed in many years. Consumers are now looking for new ways to purchase products, with a larger focus on individualism and social sharing. Retailers and merchants are searching for new ways to entice consumers through software technologies that engage consumers both online and in the physical store. These disruptive changes are affecting merchants and retailers and all stages of their supply chains from design and manufacture to distribution and logistics.
The Company’s business plan is to develop and implement cutting edge software that engages and delights consumers, reduces retailers costs and demonstrates revenue and net income lift to retailers. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our technology the Company has acquired (see subsequent events) a twelve chain retailer (Bluwire Group) with high profile stores in airport terminals and casinos that provides significant revenue to the Company and will be the perfect operation to demonstrate many of our software products and develop new products. In addition, the Company operates a number of other subsidiaries that sell products on a wholesale basis to other retailers as well as direct to consumers. These other subsidiaries in addition to providing considerable revenue to the Company management believes that they will provide an entree to sell our software products too once we can demonstrate the revenue and income lift management believes that Bluwire will experience through the deployment of our technology in the U.S.
27 |
The Company also plans to continue to make additional synergistic acquisitions that will increase revenue of our existing subsidiaries, and/or reduce costs, and/or open additional sales channels and/or provide opportunities to sell or license our software products. Management is also in early stage talks with point of sales (“POS”) software and credit card processing companies that we may partner with to market our software products.
For more information about our technology please visit our website at www.12retech,com. For more information about. our business or subsidiaries please see our Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2018.
Financing and Convertible Debt
To finance our operations the Company has historically resorted to a number of convertible debt providers (see Note 8). These debt providers have in many cases exercised their rights to convert their debt into the Company’s common stock at a discount to market. They then sell that stock to recover their investment and profits. This has over time depressed the value of our Company’s common stock and caused a significant dilution to our shareholders. This could not be helped and management relieves it was necessary in order to [provide continuation of the Company’s business so that we could make significant acquisitions. The Company has been building revenue momentum through these acquisitions and is no longer exclusively reliant on this form of fund raising. The vast majority of the surfs the Company has received over the last 4 months have been sourced through non-convertible debt incurred by our operating subsidiaries. There is however, still a considerable amount of convertible debt that needs to be retired over the near term. Management is working closely with the convertible note holders to find less dilutive alternatives and management believes that during the 4th quarter 2019 it will arrive at a solution that will involve less dilution, may require some cash payments from other sources including an equity offering and/or debt offerings through one or more of its subsidiaries as well as leak out provisions negotiated with the convertible debt holders themselves.
The Company had also entered into a $12 million dollar Equity Line of Credit with Oasis Capital which it has been unable to access due to some delays in the audits of one of its acquired subsidiaries. That Has been resolved and Management has been in talks with Oasis on amending that original offering, so that the Company may refile the S-1 required with the SEC. If and when approved by the SEC this Equity Line of Credit cajoled provide fund to retire the convertible debt instrument upon much more favorable terms than the original convertible debt which would prove significantly less dilutive to our shareholders.
In addition, Management has received tentative commitments for preferred Equity Funding that if completed would allow the Company to fully retire the convertible debt. Management, however cautions readers that while promising no Equity or Debt funding can truly be counted upon until the money is in the bank. The exact amount of the final funding and timing have not been fully determined at this time.
However, management believes that now that the Company has significant and growing revenue, has streamlined operations, is set to launch its software products in its own store in the United States and has access to more standard debt capital that the issues associated with the convertible debt have become more manageable and therefore will be resolved more favorably to the Company than was previously observed.

These costs are estimates that may or may not be realized on a cash basis. These increases are offset by increase in other income to $1,034,956 compared to $7 as of September 30, 2018. See each component described in further detail below.
The company recognized a loss impairment of software development costs of $513,601 compared to zero as of September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018. Periodically, management reviews its capitalized costs to determine if they are properly valued or should they be impaired. As of September 30, 2019. Management had capitalized approximately $513,601 in development costs for its 12 Technology suite and 12 Sconti APP. While management still believes in the long-term validity of these software applications, the fact remains that adoption by retailers has not met management’s expectations. This led management to cut costs in 12 Europe and 12 Japan. Therefore, management believes that the capitalized costs for the software development should be fully impaired as of the quarter. 12 Sconti App was deployed in 2018 and then the company partnered with major retailer called Jemoli beginning in 2019. Jelmoli has not adopted the balance of the 12 Technology suite. The 12 Europe office has been closed and the technology licensed so that any revenues generated are mostly profit without any significant related costs. Many elements of the 12 Technology suite was launched in Japan more than 3 years ago at one specific retailer, ITOYA. In 2018, elements of the 12 Technology Suite was installed in a second new ITOYA store. ITOYA has indicated interest in expanding its use of elements of the 12 Technology Suite to the remainder of its stores (more than 25) and while talks are ongoing no determination has been made. Management has determined to minimize its costs by, downsizing 12 Japan, closing the office and hiring the one former employee as a contractor of 12 Hong Kong.
In addition, the company recognized a general default reserve expense of for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $1,687,528 compared to zero as of September 30, 2018.
On July 25, 2019 the Company was served with a lawsuit from Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”). For additional details, see MD&A Item 1. Legal Proceedings, including the settlement of $120,375 which is still pending.
However, management calculated a default reserve which represents the additional amount management would have to payout to all note holders in the event of the default. Management quantified what this amount would be which includes additional premiums, additional accrued interest and default accrued interest. The total reserve quantified by management amounted to $1,687,528.
There was also an increase in interest expense of $7,309,791 to $8,296,103 for the period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $986,312 the period September 30, 2018. Increase in interest expenses is related to increase in convertible notes convertible preferred stock during the same period. As well as a significant increase in interest expense associated with the additional derivative liability and for the general default reserve.

The Company recognized other income primarily from 12 Europe declaring bankruptcy on August 26, 2019 whereby all debts of the company were eliminated with the exception of $35,757 in accounts payable resulting in a gain of $445,244.
In addition, as detailed in Note 3, the Company effectively foreclosed on its liens taking possession of the assets including the brands; Lexi-Luu, Emotion Fashion Group, Punkz Gear and retuned the stock in Emotion Apparel, Inc. and its subsidiaries to the Seller.

Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred of a net loss of $15,494,229 compared to a comprehensive net loss of $5,326,637 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increased loss is primarily the result of the increase in interest expense, general default reserve expense in case of default pay out and loss on impairment of development costs off set by decrease in selling general and administrative expense.
The Company is expending working capital to further their business plan. This includes the further development, refinement and improvement of their software and its adaptation to various European languages and geography. The Company is also expending working capital on the development of new technology which is designed to further enhance the attractiveness of their offerings to their target customer base.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has met its current capital requirements primarily through the issuance of debt-equity and preferred stock. Management views the working capital that is raised through debt-equity or preferred equity offerings as being equivalent to raising working capital via common equity subscriptions, but with the added bonus of allowing the common equity value to rise through the passage of time and simultaneous achievement of the Company’s business goals. Any conversion of debt into equity could occur at a higher equity valuation then the Company currently has. The Company has reserved the right to repurchase these debt-equity interests and preferred stock at a predetermined premium should management determine that this is in the best interests of shareholders at an appropriate future point in time.
32 |
Operating expenses for the Company have been paid from revenue as well as from the issuance of debt-equity and preferred stock subscriptions. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a deficit in working capital (current liabilities in excess of current assets) of $20,346,297. The majority of the deficit is derivative liability of $14,494,342 and a general default reserve of $1,687,528 and convertible notes of $1,006,013. A portion of this working capital deficit has been financed loans from stockholders. As of September 30, 2019, amounts owed to stockholders totaled $120,742 which was significant reduced during the third quarter of 2019. The total stockholders’ deficit as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $19,302,877 and $5,842,500. The increase in working capital deficit when compared to December 31, 2018 was principally due to an increase in notes payable (“debt-equity”) and associated derivative liability and to a lesser extent, an increase in accounts payable.
The Company has financed our cash flow requirements through the issuance of debt-equity and preferred stock. As the Company expands, we may continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations, pending generation of significant revenues. Additionally, we anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations through debt-equity and preferred stock offerings to the extent available or to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment our working capital balances.
Management believes that our acquisition strategy will successfully provide significant revenues, potential profits as well as access to traditional bank and asset-based credit lines. In addition, Management believes that existing shareholders, lenders and prospective new investors will provide the additional cash needed to meet our obligations as they become due.

The D-2 Preferred Shares are convertible to common shares after a 6 month or more holding period at market price. (See Form 8-K filed on March 20, 2019).
Concurrent with the execution of the PIPE Funding Agreement the Company executed an Exchange Agreement with the same institution investor whereby that investor exchange all of its Series D-1 preferred shares for newly issued Series D-2 Preferred Shares. (See Form 8-K filed on March 20, 2019).

At September 30, 2019, the Cash and Cash Equivalents balance was $40,258 compared to $37,721 as of December 31, 2018.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, current liabilities increased by $13,995,580 when compared to December 31, 2018. The primary reasons for the increase was an increase is due to derivative liabilities of $11,797,872, default reserve of $1,687,528 offset by decrease in accounts payable (“debt-equity”) of $310,260. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses is primarily due to some of this debt being exchanged for Series A preferred stock.
The Company’s lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. However, as a subsequent event, the Company acquired controlling interest in Bluwire Group, LLC effective October 1st, 2019 which shows substantial operating history which improves the company’s prospects. Still, the Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies at our stage, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Our roll up acquisition strategy seeks to mitigate some of those risks but until more acquisitions can be completed, we cannot include their results in our projection of cash needs.
33 |
Risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth and the consummation and assimilation of multiple acquisitions. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. To address these risks, we must, among other things, increase our customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since the Company has not generated significant revenue or gross profits adequate to cover operating costs, has negative cash flows from operations, and negative working capital, the Company has included a reference to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In connection with our consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2019. Our total accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2019 was approximately $26.6 million.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it establishes a revenue stream and becomes profitable. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through sales of equity securities and borrowing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. If the Company is not able to obtain the necessary additional financing on a timely basis, the Company will be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of the Company’s research and development activities or commercialization efforts or perhaps even cease the operation of its business. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. There is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Listing Status
On July 11, 2018, the Company’s stock began trading on the OTC QB market under the symbol ‘RETC’ after successfully meeting the listing standards for that exchange. During the company the Company lost this qualification due to its stock price which was below the exchange standard of $0.01. Currently the Company’s stock is quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace.
As a subsequent event, on October 18, 2019, the Company’s 1 for 100 Reverse Stock split became effective. Therefore, as of October 31, 2019, there are 25,410,374 common shares of stock outstanding and 8 billion common shares authorized.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We use assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. We believe there have been no significant changes in accounting policies for the period ended September 30, 2019. See Note 4 to the consolidated statements in this Quarterly Report for a complete discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates.
34 |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its consolidated results of operation, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements. See Note 3 to the consolidated statements in our 2018 Annual Report for a complete discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
At September 30, 2019, the Company did not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item 3.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2019 were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A control system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes.
In connection with our completed acquisitions of significant operating companies during the first three quarters of 2019, Management has begun to institute some financial controls. The first area management is improving is cash and expense payment controls. Management has implemented a segregation of duties and authorities in this area:
1. | Revenues are deposited in 98% of all cases electronically wither by our credit card processors or factors. | |
2. | The accounting department does not make any direct payments and all invoices are approved by the management of the operating companies, reviewed by the accounting department and representatives of senior management. | |
3. | Weekly the managers of each operating company reviews with representatives of senior management which payments are to be made from the accounts payable listing. | |
4. | The payments are then made by a third party payments person directed by senior management and recorded by the accounting department. Payments are mostly made by check, or automatic bill payment from the bank. | |
5. | The accounting department then verifies and reports to senior management that the payments were made as approved by serious management. | |
6. | Future improvements as the accounting staff will grow will be to segregate posting of entries from the person who can make journal entries. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2019. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on the criteria established by COSO, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2019 as a result of the identification of the material weaknesses described below.
35 |
Specifically, management identified the following control deficiencies: (1) The Company has not properly segregated duties as one or two individuals initiate, authorize and complete all transactions. The Company has not implemented measures that would prevent the individuals from overriding the internal control system.; (2) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines and (3) the Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software.
Our Company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls 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 during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2018: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Accordingly, while the Company has identified certain material weakness in its system of internal control over financial reporting, it believes that is has taken reasonable steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Management has determined that current resources would be appropriately applied elsewhere and when resources permit, they will alleviate material weaknesses through various steps.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As of September 30, 2019, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting known to the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Accounting Officer that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company was not currently a party to any pending legal proceedings in the end quarter and subsequently involved in any legal proceedings that it believes will have a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition. The Company may, however, be subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time.
On July 25, 2019 the Company was served with a lawsuit from Auctus Fund, LLC (“Auctus”) alleging a default under their convertible promissory note with an original amount due of $100,000 and claiming to now be owned $ 482,509 including principal, Interest, damages, defaults and other costs. Management believes that this is a frivolous lawsuit directly related to the fact that Auctus ran out of reserve shares because of failure to act in a timely fashion to increase their reserve shares through the Company’s transfer agent. Management believes that this will be easily resolved as soon as more reserve shares are available. The Company currently owe’s approximately $40,000 in principal to Auctus.
On August 26, 2019, the Company reached preliminary settlement with Auctus Fund, LLC to their lawsuit served on July 25, 2019 (“Auctus”). While Auctus had alleged a default under their convertible promissory note with an original amount due of approximately $40,000 and claiming to now be owned $ 482,509 including principal, Interest, damages, defaults and other costs a settlement was reached whereby the Company has agreed to pay only $120,375. Management believes that it will continue to work directly with Auctus management to either pay the amount agreed or now that the reverse split has taken effect provide Auctus with sufficient stock to leach out stock sales to repay this obligation. However it should be noted that management has created a reserve for the full amount of the lawsuit of $482,509.
The Company’s investors should consider the risks that could affect its business as set forth in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting
The Company has a limited number of personnel which may lead to a risk limited controls and procedures. As a result of the aforementioned reason there is a limit on the amount of internal controls during our financial reporting process.
The Company’s Chief Financial Officer is currently the Chief Financial Officer of another company
The Company Chief Financial Officer is also the Chief Financial Officer of another business and therefore may have limited time to work on the business and may experience time conflicts.
Our directors may lack of an independent director on your Board of Directors
Our directors are also on our Board of Directors and as a result the Board of Directors may lack some independence.
The Chief Executive Officer and the ability to control the Company
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is also one of the most significant shareholders of the Company and as a result may control the Company.
Small customer base makes on dependent on a few customers
The Company currently has a small base of customers from which it derives its revenue. This could adversely affect the Company as it is dependent on a few customers for its current revenue.
There are a number of shares of common stock underlying the outstanding preferred stock and convertible notes
The Company has outstanding preferred stock and convertible notes which are potentially convertible into common stock. Should all of these convertible instrument convert into common stock, he number of common shares issued would lead to substantial dilution of the current common shareholders.
Although we have attempted to discuss meaningful factors, our investors need to be aware that other factors and risks may become important in the future. New risks may emerge at any time. We cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our operations and financial performance. Investors should carefully consider the discussion of risks and the other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Information provided above in Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
