AGRITEK HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 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 offers a variety of services and product lines to the medicinal marijuana sector including the distribution of hemp based nutritional products, a line of innovative solutions for electronically processing merchant transactions and recently, the Company began importing and distributing vaporizers and e-cigarettes under the Company's Mont Blunt brand.
The Company does not grow, harvest, distribute or sell marijuana or any substances that violate the laws of the United States of America.
On March 18, 2014, the Company completed the purchase of 80 acres zoned for agricultural use in Pueblo County, Colorado. The Company plans to lease individual parcels of the 80 acre parcel to fully-licensed and compliant growers and dispensaries within the regulated medicinal and recreational market of Colorado. The Company plans include receiving rents and management fees for providing infrastructure, water, electricity, equipment leasing and security services. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has not realized any revenue from the property.
On April 28, 2014, the Company executed and closed a lease agreement for 20 acres of an agricultural farming facility located in South Florida following the approval of the so-called “Charlotte’s Web” legislation, aimed at decriminalizing low grade marijuana specifically for the use of treating epilepsy and cancer patients. Pursuant to the lease agreement, through November 1, 2014, the Company had an option to purchase the land for $1,100,000, which it did not exercise, and maintains a first right of refusal to purchase the property for three years. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has not realized any revenue from the property.
On July 11, 2014, the Company signed a ten year lease agreement for 40 acres in Pueblo, Colorado, now bringing total land holdings in the country's first recreational cannabis state to over 120 acres zoned for its planned agricultural and cultivation facilities located in Pueblo County, Colorado. The lease requires monthly rent payments of $10,000 during the first year and is subject to a 2% annual increase over the life of the lease. The lease also provides rights to 50 acres of certain tenant water rights for $50,000 annually plus cost of approximately $2,400 annually. The water rights ensure the Company’s non-interruption of operations on behalf of new tenants qualified as fully registered and licensed grow and manufacturing operations. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has not realized any revenue from the property. The Company is currently in default of the lease agreement, as it has not paid March, April and May rent as of May 15, 2015.
On July 26, 2014, the Company executed a Real Property Purchase Agreement to acquire approximately 3.2 acres for $224,000, in the Apex Industrial Park Complex, otherwise known as Nevada “Green Zone”. The Company had also entered into a 99 year lease agreement with My Life Organics, Inc. (“My Life”). My Life has been issued a provisional license for cultivation of marijuana to be grown on the Company’s property. The closing of the property occurred in November 2014 and the Company also advanced $50,000 to MYLO Construction, LLC (“MYLO”), a newly formed Company to manage the construction of the proposed building. The Company expensed the $50,000 advanced to MYLO during the year ended December 31, 2014. On January 7, 2015, My Life notified the Company that it was terminating the lease with the Company, claiming the Company has defaulted on certain provisions of the lease.

On February 10, 2015, the Company executed a Revenue Participation Agreement with Genie Gateway, for the resale and use of a customized virtual wallet and ecommerce platform to provide cashless merchant and payment services to the healthcare, wellness and unbanked merchants nationally. The Company has not realized any revenues from the Agreement.
On March 23, 2015, the Company signed an operational and licensing agreement with Green Leaf Farms Holdings Inc. (“Green Leaf”) an 80% owned subsidiary of Player's Network (PNTV) a fully reporting diversified company with holdings in two primary areas, Media and Medical Marijuana. The five (5) year agreement provides for the Company to be the exclusive consultant regarding the build out on behalf of Green Leaf of a 22,000 sq. ft. facility. Green Leaf presently holds two provisional or "MME" licenses in North Las Vegas for both medicinal cannabis cultivation and production. Pursuant to the representations and terms of the agreement the Company will provide consulting services and specialists related to grow and production, operational build out, equipment lease financing, and an infrastructure funding commitment of up to one million dollars ($1,000,000). Under the agreement, both Companies expect to complete an approximate 12,000 sq. foot cultivation operation as well as a commercial extraction facility on behalf of Green Leaf. The Company will provide direct to manufacturer relationships with lighting, extraction equipment, chillers and hydroponic equipment, edibles production as well as cultivation specialists. In addition to monthly consulting fees once the facility is operational, the Company will receive licensing fees as the provider of vaporizers, cartridges and infused edibles.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Account 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 months ended March 31, 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 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 March 31, 2015, based on the above criteria, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $43,408.
5 |
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods and 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 effective interest method through the maturities of the related 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. 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:
2015 | 2014 | |||||||
Land | $ | 354,269 | $ | 354,269 | ||||
Furniture and equipment | 13,829 | 13,829 | ||||||
Accumulated depreciation | (2,423 | ) | (1,976 | ) | ||||
Balance | $ | 365,675 | $ | 366,122 |
Depreciation expense of $447 and $203 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
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”).
6 |
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.
7 |
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 March 31, 2015 there were warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock and the Company’s outstanding convertible debt is convertible into approximately 103,000,000 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 months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the Company recorded stock and warrant based compensation of $16,484 and $25,000, respectively. (See Notes 7 and 8).

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 months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, advertising expense was $7,543 and $1,000, 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 Company determined the fair value of the inventory acquired on a cost basis. The transaction resulted in the Company recording goodwill of $192,849. Based on events and circumstances occurring during the three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company also recorded a reserve for inventory loss of $32,529 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The debt issuance costs of $9,750 in the aggregate included in the 2015 Convertible Notes, will be amortized over the earlier of the terms of the Note or any redemptions and accordingly $444 has been expensed as debt issuance costs (included in interest expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

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.

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 and an initial derivative liability of $135,746.
As of March 31, 2015 the Company revalued the embedded conversion feature of the 2015 Convertible Notes. From the dates of issuance of the 2015 Convertible Notes, the Company increased the derivative liability by $611 resulting in a derivative liability of $136,357. The fair value of the 2015 Convertible Notes was calculated at March 31, 2015 based on the average historical effective discounts to market over periods consistent with the terms of the related debt.
A summary of the derivative liability balance as of March 31, 2015 is as follows:
2015 | ||||
Beginning Balance | $ | — | ||
Initial Derivative Liability | 135,746 | |||
Fair Value Change | 611 | |||
Ending Balance | $ | 136,357 |

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 March 31, 2015 and 2014.

We do not have cash and cash equivalents on hand to meet our obligations. We presently maintain our daily operations and capital needs through the sale of our products and financings available to us from our lender.
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 March 31, 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.
18 |
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.
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 months ended March 31, 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 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 March 31, 2015, based on the above criteria, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $43,408.
19 |
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, and except for land, depreciation is provided by use of straight-line methods 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. 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:
2015 | 2014 | |||||||
Land | $ | 354,269 | $ | 354,269 | ||||
Furniture and equipment | 13,829 | 13,829 | ||||||
Accumulated depreciation | (2,423 | ) | (1,976 | ) | ||||
Balance | $ | 365,675 | $ | 366,122 |
Depreciation expense of $447 and $203 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 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”).
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.
20 |
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 March 31, 2015 there were warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock and the Company’s outstanding convertible debt is convertible into approximately 103,000,000 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 months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the Company recorded stock and warrant based compensation of $16,484 and $25,000, respectively. (See Notes 7 and 8).
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated to allow our management to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our President, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and he determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a control deficiency. During the period we did not have additional personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information. Due to the size and operations of the Company, we are unable to remediate this deficiency until we acquire or merge with another company.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
