AGRITEK HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2015
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization
Business
Agritek Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Agritek”), formerly known as Mediswipe, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Agritek Venture Holdings, Inc. (“AVHI”), acquires and leases real estate to licensed marijuana operators, including providing complete turnkey growing space and related facilities to licensed marijuana growers and dispensary owners. Additionally, the Company plans to offer a variety of services and product lines to the medicinal marijuana sector including the distribution of hemp based nutritional products and a line of innovative solutions for electronically processing merchant transactions.
The Company does not grow, harvest, distribute or sell marijuana or any substances that violate the laws of the United States of America.
On June 26, 2015, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State the Amended and Restated Designation Preferences and Rights (the “Certificate of Designation”) of Class B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, 1,000 shares constitute the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, rank senior to the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and Series A preferred stock.
The Series B Preferred Stock has the right to vote in aggregate, on all shareholder matters equal to 51% of the total vote, no matter how many shares of common stock or other voting stock of the Company are issued or outstanding in the future. The Series B Preferred Stock has a right to vote on all matters presented or submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval in pari passu with the common stockholders, and not as a separate class. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock have the right to cast votes for each share of Series B Preferred Stock held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of common stockholders, including the election of directors. There is no right to cumulative voting in the election of directors. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock vote together with all other classes and series of common stock of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the common stockholders except to the extent that voting as a separate class or series is required by law.
On June 26, 2015, the Company issued 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Mr. Friedman resulting in Mr. Friedman having majority control in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions subject to vote (super voting rights, non-convertible securities), including the election of directors of the Company (see Note 8).
On July 1, 2015, the Company’s board of directors authorized an amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to (i) effect a reverse stock split, at the discretion of Company’s board, to be effected, if at all, prior to September 15, 2015, at a ratio of not less than 1-for-20 and not more than 1-for-100, with the exact ratio, if any, to be determined in the sole discretion of the board, and (ii) increase the Company’s authorized common stock from 250,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares. On July 1, 2015, stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s voting power approved these actions. On July 17, 2015, the Company’s board took action by written consent to approve the following actions:
1. | Approve an amendment to Certificate of Incorporation, to increase our authorized common stock from 250,000,000 shares, $0.0001 par value, to 500,000,000 shares, $0.0001 par value (the “Authorized Share Increase Amendment”), and |
2. | Approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for 50 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split Amendment” and together with the Authorized Share Increase Amendment, the “Amendments”). |
On July 29, 2015, the Company filed a preliminary Schedule 14C Information Statement relating to approval of the above actions. However, since that filing, the Company has abandoned the Reverse Stock Split Amendment.
The Authorized Share Increase Amendment became effective on October 5, 2015.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the stated periods have been made. Except as described below, these adjustments consist only of normal and recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Interim results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year. Certain amounts from the 2014 period have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period.
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of Agritek and its wholly owned subsidiaries, AVHI and Prohibition Products, Inc. (“PPI”). PPI, a Florida corporation, was originally formed on July 1, 2013 as The American Hemp Trading Company, Inc. (“AHTC”) and on August 27, 2014, AHTC changed its name to PPI. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company records accounts receivable from amounts due from its customers upon the shipment of products. The allowance for losses is established through a provision for losses charged to expenses. Receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes collectability is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluations, this estimate is susceptible to significant change in the near term. As of September 30, 2015, based on the above criteria, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $44,068.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first in first out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow moving inventory is made based on management analysis or inventory levels and future sales forecasts.
Deferred Financing Costs
The costs related to the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method through the maturities of the related debt.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.
For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
6 |
Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount
The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Original Issue Discount
For certain convertible debt issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount would be recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Investment of Non-Marketable Securities
The Company’s investment in non-marketable securities consist of cash investments in a less than 10% interest in privately held companies that provide merchant processing services.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and except for land, depreciation is provided by use of a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company reviews property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. In November 2015, the Company was made aware that the land transaction regarding 80 acres in Pueblo County, Colorado, may not have been properly deeded to the Company. The company was a party to the land purchase, however, it was recently discovered the second party to the land contract never filed the original quit claim deed on behalf of the Company, even though a copy of the notarized quit claim deed was sent to the Company. To date, the Company has paid a total of $47,438 ($36,000 at closing) and is on the deed of trust of the property with a remaining note balance of $74,313 held by the original owner. Accordingly, until the deed is properly recorded, the Company reduced the remaining balance of the note payable for the acquisition of the land of $74,313 and recorded a reserve allowance for the remaining balance of the asset of $54,490. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
Furniture and equipment 5 years
The Company's property and equipment consisted of the following at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”).
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.
The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, note payable and convertible debt. 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. The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the estimated future tax effects, calculated at the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time of realization. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.
ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. Interest and penalties are classified as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor paid, any interest or penalties.
Uncertain tax positions are measured and recorded by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized. The Company’s tax years subsequent to 2005 remain subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share are computed in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities, if any, outstanding during the period. As of September 30, 2015 there were warrants and options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock and the Company’s outstanding convertible debt is convertible into approximately 575,415,654 shares of common stock. These amounts are not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact is antidilutive.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. Stock awards granted to non-employees are valued at their respective measurement dates based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and recognized as expense during the period in which services are provided.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded stock and warrant based compensation of $96,741 and $551,475, respectively compared to $214,000 and $264,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. (See Notes 7 and 8).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Advertising
The Company records advertising costs as incurred. For the three and nine months ending September 30, 2015, advertising expense was $25,756 and $63,510, respectively, compared to $22,032 and $50,835 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Note 4 – Impairment of Goodwill
On September 12, 2014, the Company completed the asset acquisition of the entire line of products, technology and customers of Dry Vapes Holdings, Inc. (“Dry Vapes”). Dry Vapes is an importer, marketer and distributor of innovative vaporizers and accessories with over 11,000 social network followers. Dry Vapes has historically sold its product under the logo DV on eBay and other websites. The Company plans to develop a full line of products under the "Mont Blunt" brand name and market it to Brick and Mortar smoke shops nationally in the upcoming months. The company will operate the business under PPI.
The Company recorded the acquisition using the acquisition method, which requires the Company to record the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (if any) at their acquisition date fair values and record any excess of the consideration given, including liabilities assumed (if any) over the fair value of the assets acquired as goodwill. The acquired assets consisted solely of inventory. The transaction resulted in the Company recording goodwill of $192,849. Based on events and changes in circumstances on June 30, 2015, the Company reviewed the carrying amount of the goodwill, and determined that the carrying amount may not be recoverable and accordingly recognized an impairment loss of $192,849 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Company also recorded a reserve for inventory loss of $32,529 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Among other terms the 2015 Notes are due nine to twelve months from their issuance date, bearing interest at 8% per annum, payable in cash or shares at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) for each share of common stock equal to 39% - 42% of the average of the lowest three trading prices (as defined in the note agreements) per share of the Company’s common stock for the ten to eighteen trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, as defined in the 2015 Convertible Notes, the Company was required to pay interest at 22% per annum and the holders could at their option declare a Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the 2015 Convertible Notes provide for adjustments for dividends payable other than in shares of common stock, for reclassification, exchange or substitution of the common stock for another security or securities of the Company or pursuant to a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets, where there is a change in control of the Company.
The Company determined that the conversion feature of the 2015 Convertible Notes represent an embedded derivative since the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the 2015 Convertible Notes were not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature was bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of these derivative instruments being recorded as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to each Note. Such discount is being amortized from the date of issuance to the maturity dates of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the liability for derivative contracts are recorded in other income or expenses in the consolidated statements of operations at the end of each quarter, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet. The embedded feature included in the 2015 Convertible Notes resulted in an initial debt discount of $211,750, a initial derivative liability expense of $71,761 and an initial derivative liability of $283,511.
As of September 30, 2015 the Company revalued the embedded conversion feature of the 2015 Convertible Notes. The fair value of the 2015 Convertible Notes was calculated at September 30, 2015 based on the Black Scholes method consistent with the terms of the related debt.
A summary of the derivative liability balance as of September 30, 2015 is as follows:
2015 | ||||
Beginning Balance | $ | — | ||
Initial Derivative Liability | 283,511 | |||
Fair Value Change | (47,019 | ) | ||
Reduction for conversions | (36,448 | ) | ||

Note 9 – Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, the deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance at September 30, 2015 and 2014.
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had a tax net operating loss carry forward of approximately $2,681,000. Any unused portion of this carry forward expires in 2030. Utilization of this loss may be limited in the event of an ownership change pursuant to IRS Section 382.

We do not have cash and cash equivalents on hand to meet our obligations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2015, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the reporting period then ended. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is attempting to produce sufficient revenue; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to produce sufficient revenue 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 its ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the following policies below as critical to our business and results of operations. Our reported results are impacted by the application of the following accounting policies, certain of which require management to make subjective or complex judgments. These judgments involve making estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may significantly impact quarterly or annual results of operations. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as expected, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs.
23 |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the stated periods have been made. Except as described below, these adjustments consist only of normal and recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Interim results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year. Certain amounts from the 2014 period have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period.
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Company include the consolidated accounts of Agritek and its wholly owned subsidiaries AVHI and Prohibition Products, Inc. (“PPI”). PPI, a Florida corporation, was originally formed on July 1, 2013 as The American Hemp Trading Company, Inc. (“AHTC”) and on August 27, 2014, AHTC changed its name to PPI. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original term of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Deferred Financing Costs
The costs related to the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method through the maturities of the related debt.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments, including stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.
For option-based simple derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount
The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Original Issue Discount
For certain convertible debt issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount would be recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
24 |
Accounts Receivable
The Company records accounts receivable from amounts due from its customers upon the shipment of products. The allowance for losses is established through a provision for losses charged to expenses. Receivables are charged against the allowance for losses when management believes collectability is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing receivables, based on evaluation of the collectability of the accounts and prior loss experience. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluations, this estimate is susceptible to significant change in the near term. As of September 30, 2015, based on the above criteria, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $44,068.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and except for land, depreciation is provided by use of a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company reviews property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. In November 2015, the Company was made aware that the land transaction regarding 80 acres in Pueblo County, Colorado, may not have been properly deeded to the Company. The company was a party to the land purchase, however, it was recently discovered, and the second party to the land contract never filed the original quit claim deed on behalf of the Company, even though a copy of the notarized quit claim deed was sent to the Company. To date, the Company has paid a total of $47,438.00 ($36,000 at closing) and is on the deed of trust of the property with a remaining note balance of approximately $75,000 held by the original owner. Accordingly, until the deed is properly recorded, the Company rediced the remaining balance of the note payable for the acquisition of the land of $74,313 and recorded a reserve allowance for the remaining balance of the asset of $54,490. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:
Furniture and equipment 5 years
The Company's property and equipment consisted of the following at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:
September 30, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | |||||||
Land | $ | 354,269 | $ | 354,269 | ||||
Allowance for land loss, including note elimination of $74,313 | (129,803 | ) | — | |||||

Accumulated depreciation | (4,051 | ) | (1,976 | ) | ||||
Balance | $ | 234,244 | $ | 366,122 |
Depreciation expense of $692 and $2,075 was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $491 and $1,341 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of products and services has occurred, (3) the fee is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue during the month in which products are shipped or commissions are earned. No revenue has been recognized from leasing arrangements to date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are determined under a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, distinguishing between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (“observable inputs”) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (“unobservable inputs”).
25 |
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company primarily uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets (“market approach”). The Company also considers the impact of a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal activity to identify transactions that are not orderly.
The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Securities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that is unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
Credit risk adjustments are applied to reflect the Company’s own credit risk when valuing all liabilities measured at fair value. The methodology is consistent with that applied in developing counterparty credit risk adjustments, but incorporates the Company’s own credit risk as observed in the credit default swap market.
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, note payable and convertible debt. 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. The estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange or from future earnings or cash flows.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share are computed in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), after deducting preferred stock dividends accumulated during the period, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities, if any, outstanding during the period. As of September 30, 2015 there were warrants and options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock and the Company’s outstanding convertible debt is convertible into approximately 575,415,654 shares of common stock These amounts are not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their impact is antidilutive.
Accounting for Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock awards issued to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The measurement date is the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete. Stock awards granted to non-employees are valued at their respective measurement dates based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock and recognized as expense during the period in which services are provided.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded stock and warrant based compensation of $96,741 and $551,475, respectively compared to $214,000 and $264,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. (See Notes 7 and 8).
