Almost Never Films Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2018

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

 

Nature of the Business

 

Almost Never Films Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 as Smack Sportswear (“Smack”), which originally manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. The Company is now an independent film company focused on film production, finance and production related services for movies under budgets of $35 million.

 

Share Exchange and Recapitalization

 

On January 15, 2016, Smack entered into a share exchange agreement with Almost Never Films Inc., a private company incorporated in Indiana on July 8, 2015, and its two shareholders, Danny Chan and Derek Williams.

 

Pursuant to the agreement, Smack issued 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams in exchange for all 2,500,000 shares of issued and outstanding common stock of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana). As a result of the share exchange, Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) became Smack’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams acquired a controlling interest in the Company.

 

The share exchange was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition,” and resulted in a recapitalization. Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were $6,566 and $598,869, respectively. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the share exchange will be those of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and the combined financial statements after completion of the share exchange include the assets and liabilities of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), historical operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) from the closing date of the share exchange. As a result of the issuance of the shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the share exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred as of the date of consummation of the share exchange. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization. The Company has not yet generated any revenue since inception.

 

On February 29, 2016, the stockholders of Smack voted to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to (i) increase the authorized capital of the Company to 5,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) to change the name of the Company to “Almost Never Films Inc.” which took effect on March 2, 2016.

 

On August 9, 2017, the Company has approved a 1 for 40 reverse split of its issued and outstanding common stock. The common stock accounts and all share related balances have been be applied retroactively for all periods presented.

 

The new symbol of the Company is HLWD in OTCQB.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had a net loss from operations of $81,800 and net cash outflows from operating activities of $182,882. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,371,049. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

  

 
7
 
Table of Contents

    

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion and an identification of new business opportunities.

 

The Company plans on raising the required funds through completion of film projects resulting in revenues, and further potential equity and debt offerings.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Team Sports Superstore (Inactive) and Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) and FWIL, LLC (Indiana), and its 90 % owned subsidiaries, One HLWD KY LLC (Kentucky), Two HLWD KY LLC (Kentucky) and Three HLWD KY (Kentucky), LLC, as well as the following entities, which are 100 % owned: Virginia Christmas, LLC (New York), Christmas Camp, LLC (New York), and Country Christmas, LLC (Ohio). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto that are included in the Company’s audited June 30, 2018 financial statements that was filed with the SEC on October 15, 2018. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used in valuing the fair value of common stock issued for services, film costs, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Cash

 

Cash includes demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions. All cash balances are hold by major banking institutions. The Company maintains its cash with a financial institution, and at times, amounts may exceed federally insured limits. Currently the FDIC insurance coverage limit is $250,000, and the Company is potentially exposed to no un-insured cash balances. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Table of Contents

   

Film Costs

 

The Company records film costs in accordance with ASC – 926 - Entertainment – Films. Film costs include direct production costs, production overhead and acquisition costs for both motion picture and television productions and are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated fair value and classified as noncurrent assets. Estimates used in calculating the fair value of the film costs are based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions and are reviewed on a periodic basis.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.

 

In addition to defining fair value, the standard expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which are determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

 

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2 – inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the balance reported for cash approximates its fair value because of its short maturities. Notes payable are recorded at agreed values. Debt balances are stated at historical amounts less principal payments, which approximate fair market value. Promissory notes receivable and payable are stated at historical amounts less principal payments. The Company believes interest rates in its debt agreements are commensurate with lender risk profiles for similar companies.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company has chosen to early adopt and apply the standards beginning in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 related to Accounting Standards Codification ASC - 606Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Results for the reporting ended June 30, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The Company adopted the modified retrospective approach, and has applied the new standards in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, and the quarter ended September 30, 2018. The Company notes were no previous revenues that require adjustments to the opening balance of retained earnings.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from its contracts with customers in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenues when we satisfy the performance obligation of the associated contract that reflects the consideration expected to be received based on the terms of the contract.

 

Revenue related to contracts with customers is evaluated utilizing the following steps: (i) Identify the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) Determine the transaction price; (iv) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (v) Recognize Revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation.

Table of Contents

  

When the Company enters into a contract, the Company analyses the services required in the contract in order to identify the required performance obligations which would indicate the Company has met and fulfilled its obligations. To appropriately identify the performance obligations, the Company considers all of the services required to be satisfied per the contract, whether explicitly stated or implicitly implied. The Company allocates the full transaction price to the single performance obligation being satisfied. The Company performed an analysis of two revenues streams: revenue from Production Service Agreements, and revenue from self-produced films.

 

In order for the revenue to be recognized, the following criteria must be met: (i) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (ii) the film or production has been completed and delivered, (iii) the distribution or license period has started, (iv) the price is fixed or determinable, and (v) the collection of the consideration is reasonably assured. The Company will allow for doubtful accounts if a determination is made that collection may not be fulfilled.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when the customer confirms to the Company that all of the terms and conditions of the contract has been met, and the sign-off of the project has been completed.

 

Production Service Agreement Revenue: based on the analysis performed, the Company determined that the performance obligations as of September 30, 2018 had not been satisfied, and therefore the Company did not recognize any revenues associated with the Production Service Agreements.

 

Revenue from self-produced films: based on the analysis performed, the Company determined that the performance obligations as of September 30, 2018 had not been satisfied, and therefore the Company did not recognize any revenues associated with the self-produced films.

 

The Company analyses whether gross sales, or net sales should be recorded, based on whether the Company is subject to inventory risk, has control over establishing price, and has control over the related costs with earning revenues. The Company has recorded all revenues at the gross price.

 

Cash payments received are recorded as deferred revenue until the conditions, stated above, of revenue recognition have been met, specifically all obligations have been met as specified in the related customer contract and the associated payment has been received.

 

Stock Repurchase and Cancellation

 

During the year ended June 30, 2018, the Company repurchased and cancelled 85,475 shares of common stock. The Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with ASC 505 – Equity – 30 Treasury Stock, Purchase of Treasury Shares or Stock Rights.

The Company has accounted for Stock Subscription Receivable in accordance with ASC – 505 – Equity – 10, and has included the Stock Subscription Receivable balance in equity.

 

Loss per Share Calculations

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, as there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The core principle of this ASU is that revenue should be recognized for the amount of consideration expected to be received for promised goods or services transferred to customers. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments, and assets recognized for costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 was scheduled to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date,” which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year and allowed entities to early adopt, but no earlier than the original effective date. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for public business entities for the annual reporting period beginning December 15, 2017. This update allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” which amends guidance previously issued on these matters in ASU 2014-09. The effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2016-10 are the same as those for ASU 2014-09. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” which clarifies certain aspects of the guidance, including assessment of collectability, treatment of sales taxes and contract modifications, and providing certain technical corrections. The effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2016-12 are the same as those for ASU 2014-09.

 

The Company adopted the new guidance, Accounting Standards Codification ASC - 606Revenue from Contracts with Customers as of June 30, 2018.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, or ASU 2018-07. Under this ASU, the accounting for awards issued to nonemployees will be similar to the accounting for employee awards. This includes allowing for the measurement of awards at the grant date and recognition of awards with performance conditions when those conditions are probable, both of which are earlier than under current guidance for nonemployee awards. The Company has early adopted this guidance, specifically related to the tax calculations of consulting services compensation.

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), was signed into law. The Tax Act includes numerous changes to tax laws impacting business, the most significant being a permanent reduction in the federal corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21%. The rate reduction took effect on January 1, 2018. As the Company’s 2018 fiscal year ended on June 30, 2018, the Company’s federal blended corporate tax rate for fiscal year 2018 is 26.9%, based on the applicable tax rates before and after the Tax Act and the number of days in the fiscal year to which the two different rates applied.

 

The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% and 34% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Business Development

 

Almost Never Films Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 as Smack Sportswear (“Smack”), which originally manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. The Company is now an independent film company focused on film production and production related services in connection with genre specific motion pictures with production costs in the $5.0 million to $50.0 million range.

 

On January 15, 2016, pursuant to the share exchange agreement, among Almost Never Films Inc. f/k/a Smack Sportswear (the “Company”, “we,” “our” or “us”), Almost Never Films Inc. (“ANF”), an Indiana corporation, and the two shareholders of ANF (the “ANF Shareholders”), we issued to the ANF Shareholders, 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.001 per share in exchange for all 100,000,000 shares of the issued and outstanding common stock of ANF (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, ANF became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and our business has become the business of ANF, effective January 15, 2017.

 

The share exchange was accounted for as a “reverse acquisition,” and resulted in a recapitalization. Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were $6,566 and $598,869, respectively. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior to the share exchange will be those of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and the combined financial statements after completion of the share exchange include the assets and liabilities of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), historical operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), and operations of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana) from the closing date of the share exchange. As a result of the issuance of the shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the share exchange, a change in control of the Company occurred as of the date of consummation of the share exchange. All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively restated to reflect the recapitalization. The Company has not yet generated any revenue since the reverse acquisition.

 

On February 29, 2016, the stockholders of Smack voted to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to (i) increase the authorized capital of the Company to 200,000,00 shares of common stock and (ii) to change the name of the Company to “Almost Never Films Inc.” which took effect on March 2, 2017.

 

The Company has 5,000,000 authorized preferred shares with no par value.

 

Smack issued 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to the Mr. Chan and Mr. Williams in exchange for all 100,000,000 shares of issued and outstanding common stock of Almost Never Films Inc. (Indiana), with a value of $10,000.

 

On March 4, 2016, all 1,000,000 preferred shares were converted into 100,000,000 common shares.

 

There were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

 

On March 8, 2016, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement with a shareholder. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company sold, and said shareholder purchased, an aggregate of 49,720,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $0.005 per share in exchange for the cancellation of and discharge of certain promissory notes issued by the Company and payable to said shareholder. The foregoing issuance was deemed to be exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as not involving any public offering and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

Criteria

 

The Company was originally incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 as Smack Sportswear (“Smack”), which originally manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. The Company is now an independent film company focused on film production and production related services in connection with genre specific motion pictures with production costs in the $5.0 million to $50.0 million range.

 

History

 

As described above, we were incorporated in Nevada in October 2007 under the name SMACK Sportswear under which we manufactured and sold performance and lifestyle based indoor and sand volleyball apparel and accessories. As a result of the sale of certain inventory from the Company to Mr. Sigler in July 2015, the Company became a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). As a result of the Share Exchange, we acquired the proposed business of Almost Never.

 

Almost Never, our wholly-owned subsidiary upon the closing of Share Exchange, was incorporated in the State of Indiana on July 8, 2015. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “Smack Sportswear” to “Almost Never Films Inc.” to more accurately reflect its new business. We also request changed the Company’s OTCQB trading symbol to “HLWD”

 

We currently have authorized 30,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 5,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock containing such rights, privileges and designations as our Board of directors may, from time to time, determine. As of the date of this Report, an aggregate of 5,203,765 shares of our Common Stock and no shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.

 

On March 4, 2017, all previously authorized 1,000,000 preferred shares were converted into 2,500,000 common shares. In March through November 2017, the Company entered into four share purchase agreements with three investors for 312,500 common shares at $0.08 per share for total proceeds of $250,000.

On March 8, 2017, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement with a shareholder. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company sold, and said shareholder purchased, an aggregate of 1,243,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $0.005 per share in exchange for the cancellation of and discharge of certain promissory notes issued by the Company and payable to said shareholder. The foregoing issuance was deemed to be exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as not involving any public offering and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

 

On September 13, 2017, the Company completed a 1 for 40 reverse stock split and changed the authorized capital of the Company to 25,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share.

 

Our principal executive office is located at 8605 Santa Monica Blvd #98258, West Hollywood, California 90069-4109.

 

Our Business

 

We are an independent film company focused on film production and production related services in connection with genre specific motion pictures with production costs in the $5.0 million to $50.0 million range.

 

Our business is to facilitate relationships (and as such, provide production related services) between creative talent (including writers, actors and directors) and companies who produce, finance and distribute motion pictures. We intend to acquire or license rights to materials upon which we believe motion pictures can be based (screenplays, books, short stories etcetera, which are referred to within the entertainment industry as the “underlying property”). We may further develop an underlying property by contracting for additional writing services and/or by bringing in new writers to perform “polishes” or “rewrites” on a particular underlying property.

 

If we are satisfied with the creative state of the underlying property, we then intend to make offers to directors and/or actors, to perform services in connection with a particular motion picture based on that underlying property. These offers are very often contingent and subject to the satisfaction of certain production elements, such as financier approval of the screenplay and the financier’s selection of a start date for principal photography.

 

If a director or actors accepts one of our offers, the director or actors are said to be “attached” to the motion picture project. Armed with the underlying property and the attached creative element(s) (these elements are often called the “package” in Hollywood), we may then approach third party financiers seeking financing as well as distribution for the potential motion picture. Another approach that we may take is to contact the financiers first, seeking first to produce the film, and then with a finished (or nearly finished) motion picture product, obtain distribution for the picture.

 

We entered into our first two collaboration agreements to produce the films “Field Trip” and “Love is not Easy” during the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

 

Critical accounting policies and estimates

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments, our commitments to strategic alliance partners and the timing of the achievement of collaboration milestones. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. All estimates, whether or not deemed critical, affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are also based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known, even for estimates and judgments that are not deemed critical.

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company had $0 in revenue and incurred $41,768 on general and administrative expenses and $19,680 on professional fees. The Company’s professional fees were primarily for ongoing regulatory requirements. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had $0 in revenue and incurred $21,976 on general and administrative expenses and $19,703 on professional fees.

 

Other Expense

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred $20,352 relating to interest expense on unsecured promissory notes payable. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred interest expenses of $7,838, relating to unsecured promissory notes payable, and had interest income of $4,841 related to a promissory note receivable.

 

Net Loss

 

The Company’s net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $81,800. The Company’s net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $44,676.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

 

As of September 30, 2018, we had a cash balance of $87,944. As of June 30, 2018, we had a cash balance of $270,826. We do not have sufficient funds to operate for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person or entity to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since the Company has no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, its inability to raise funds for the above purposes will have a severe negative impact on its ability to remain a viable company.

 

Financing Activities

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company did not have any financing activities.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company received $350,000 from the issuance of promissory note payable – related party, $250,000 from common stock subscribed, and paid $200,000 as repayment of promissory note payable, $200,000 as repayment of promissory note payable – related party, and $20,000 retirement of common stock.

Going Concern Consideration

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $81,800 and cash used in operating activities was $182,882. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion and an identification of new business opportunities. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in case of equity financing.

 

We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months. Although our proceeds from the issuance of debt and our offering of shares of common stock is currently sufficient to fund our operating expenses, we anticipate we will need to raise additional funds in the future so that we can expand our operations. Therefore, our future operations are dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital may restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may have to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we did not have any “off-balance sheet arrangements” (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K).

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. 

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

    

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2018. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2018 due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review.

 

Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act have been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management intends to develop procedures to address the current deficiencies to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
