DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Our Corporate History and Background

Applied BioSciences Corp. was incorporated on February 21, 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada, under the name “First Fixtures, Inc.” Under the laws of the State of Nevada, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to “Stony Hill Corp.” on October 13, 2016. On March 6, 2018, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to "Applied Biosciences Corp." From our formation on February 21, 2014 until November 4, 2016, we were engaged in the business of being an online shopping mall specializing in bathroom and kitchen fixtures and faucets. Colin Povall served as President, Treasurer and sole director from February 21, 2014, until his resignation on October 3, 2016. Concurrent with his resignation, Mr. Povall appointed Damian Marley as the President and Chief Executive Officer, and sole member of the Board of Directors, Dan Dalton as the Treasurer, and John Brady as the Secretary. On February 10, 2017, the board of directors appointed Chris Bridges as our President. Concurrent with the appointment of Mr. Bridges, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley resigned as our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Marley also resigned as a director on March 5, 2018. Effective March 9, 2017, Chris Bridges was appointed a director of the Company. John Brady was also elected a director on December 29, 2017, and replaced Dan Dalton as Treasurer on January 5, 2018. Chris Bridges and John Brady comprise the board of directors of the Company.

The Company does not have any current plans, arrangements, discussions or intentions, whether written or oral, to engage in a merger or acquisition with an identified or unidentified company or person to be used as a vehicle for a private company to become a reporting company.

From inception until we completed our reverse acquisition of Stony Hill Ventures, the principal business of being online shopping mall specializing in bathroom and kitchen fixtures and faucets.

Reverse Acquisition of Stony Hill Ventures

On November 4, 2016, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, Stony Hill Ventures Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Stony Hill Ventures”), and the holders of common stock of Stony Hill Ventures. The holders of the common stock of Stony Hill Ventures consisted of 26 stockholders.

Under the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company offered, sold and issued 10,840,000 shares of common stock in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in Stony Hill Ventures. The effect of the issuance was that Stony Hill Ventures shareholders held, at the time, approximately 73% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

As a result of the share exchange, Stony Hill Ventures became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The share exchange transaction with Stony Hill Ventures was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Stony Hill Ventures as the acquiror and the Company as the acquired party. Unless the context suggests otherwise, when we refer in this Form 8-K to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of Stony Hill Ventures.

Results of Operations

Our revenue, operating expenses, and net loss from operations for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 as compared to our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 were as follows:

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2018 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2017

Revenues: Revenue from products relate to shipments of cannabidiol (“CBD”) brand products, which we began selling in late February 2017. During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, we earned revenue from our CBD product lines of $197,554 as compared to $18,054 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The increase of 994% reflects a full year of sales incurred from our CBD brand products as compared to one month in fiscal 2017. In addition, during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, we received $27,500 from a license agreement which did not recur nor did we receive any other revenue from licenses during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

Cost of Revenue: Cost of goods sold consists of purchases of inventory for sale. We generally purchase products that are private labels and brand the products using our tradenames. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, we incurred $155,549 of costs to purchase product which represented 80% of our product revenues. Since we began sales of CBD products in late February 2017, cost of products for fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 were minimal.

Gross Margin: For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, gross margin comprised entirely from sale of our CBD products and was $42,005 or 21% of our revenue. For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, gross margin was $39,163 which comprised $27,500 from sale of services and $11,663 from sale of our CBD products.

Sales and marketing: Sales and marketing expenses mainly comprised of advertising, public relations, events, and website marketing costs. Sales and marketing expenses increased to $356,948 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $16,899 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The majority of the increase related to public relation services, website marketing development and increased advertising and promotion costs.

General and administrative: General and administrative expenses mainly comprised of professional fees, travel expenses, meals and entertainment and other office support costs. General and administrative expenses increased $811,622 to $953,484 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $141,862 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. General and administrative expenses during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 included non-cash stock based compensation related to our issuance of stock for services to board advisory members and our CEO, which totaled approximately $598,000. The majority of the remaining increase in general and administrative expenses related to higher professional fees and general and administrative expenses incurred related to our CBD products launched in March 2017.

Reverse merger costs: In conjunction with the Share Exchange Agreement, Stony Hill Ventures paid us $325,000 and we assumed $51,366 of liabilities, which was recorded as a cost of the reverse merger.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization relates to depreciation of our property and equipment and the amortization of a brand that we acquired in February 2017, which was being amortized over a period of 5 years. Amortization totaled $224,770 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $19,956 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

Impairment of asset: During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, sales of the VitaCBD products did not meet our expectations. As such, we were not able to achieve the expected operating results from the VitaCBD brand products. As a result, we impaired the intangible asset related to the acquisition of the VitaCBD brand name and recorded an impairment charge of $893,667 which reflected the net book value of the intangible as of March 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

A summary of our cash flows for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 as compared to our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 is as follows:

Net cash used in operating activities was $637,467 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $137,464 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The increase in use of cash in operations mainly related to higher general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses from our operations.

Net cash used in investing activities was $173,236 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $775,000 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The decrease primarily related to lower investments in equity and an intangible purchased during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, which we did not purchase a similar asset during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. In addition, investing activities during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 included reverse merger costs paid in cash of $325,000 for which we did not incur a similar cost in our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $695,000 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $1,125,101 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The decrease primarily relates to less sales of our shares of our common stock offset slightly by a higher price per share obtained from our sale of common stock during our fiscal year 2018. In addition, during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, we paid $100,000 to repurchase 5,400,000 shares of our common stock held by two former board members.

Going Concern

Our uses of cash have been primarily for strategic investments we made and operations and marketing efforts to promote our products and company. Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by financing, primarily through the sale of equity securities, as we have only recently begun to receive revenues from our principal business activities and we have used cash for various strategic investments for which we typically receive returns when such investments are sold and when or if dividends are declared. We anticipate that significant additional expenditures will be necessary to expand and bring to market our products and investments before sufficient and consistent positive operating cash flows will be achieved. As such, we anticipate that additional funds will be needed to continue operations, obtain profitability and to achieve our objectives. As of the date of this Form 10-K, our cash resources are insufficient to meet our current operating expense requirements and planned business objectives beyond the date of this Form 10-K filing without additional financing.

As reflected in the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere is this Form 10-K, as of March 31, 2018 we had cash on hand and had an accumulated deficit of $60,934 and $2,901,933 respectively, and during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, we utilized cash for operations and incurred a net loss of $673,467 and $2,386,864, respectively. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Further, our independent auditors in their audit report for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and income from our operations. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, we raised $795,000 through the receipt of Subscription Agreements (“Subscription”) where we sold 397,500 shares of our common stock to accredited investors at a price of $2.00 per share. As of March 31, 2018, we had cash on hand of $60,934. We estimate that such funds will not be sufficient to continue operations without obtaining additional funds. As such, we are currently working on obtaining additional funds to operate our business through and beyond the date of this Form 10-K filing. However, there can be no assurance that such funds will be available or at terms acceptable to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions and covenants on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders in the case of convertible debt and equity financing.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among other things, estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable, recoverability of inventory, assumptions made in determining impairment of investments and intangible, useful life of our intangible, and accruals for potential liabilities. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require judgments, involve analysis of historical information and the prediction of future trends, and are subject to change from period to period. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates. 

Investments

For investments that are not required to be consolidated, we use either the equity method or the cost method of accounting. We use the equity method for unconsolidated equity investments in which we are considered to have significant influence over the operations of the investee. We use the cost method for all other investments. Under the cost method, there is no change to the cost basis unless there is an other-than-temporary decline in value or dividends are received. If the decline is determined to be other-than-temporary, we write down the cost basis of the investment to a new cost basis that represents realizable value.

Intangible Asset

Intangible assets are recorded when such assets are acquired and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset. We regularly review intangible assets to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the useful lives have changed from the original estimate or that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, we assess the recoverability of identified intangible assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets and occur in the period in which the impairment determination was made.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Weinberg & Company, P.A.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2016.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the Company

Applied BioSciences Corp. (formerly First Fixtures, Inc. and Stony Hill Corp. or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 21, 2014 and established a fiscal year end of March 31. Effective October 24, 2016 the Company changed its name from First Fixtures Inc. to Stony Hill Corp and on March 6, 2018, the Company changed its name from Stony Hill Corp. to Applied BioSciences Corp. The Company is focused on multiple areas of the hemp and CBD industry. Specifically, the Company is focused on select investments, branding, real estate, and partnership opportunities in the recreational, health and wellness, nutraceutical, and media industries.

Merger

On November 4, 2016, the Company, entered into a Share Exchange Agreement by and among the Company, Stony Hill Ventures Corp. (“Stony Hill Ventures”), and the holders of common stock of Stony Hill Ventures, which consisted of 26 stockholders. Stony Hill Ventures was incorporated on March 15, 2016, in Nevada and was organized for various investments under the Stony Hill brand as well as to conduct any other related business and activities.

Under the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company offered, sold and issued 10,830,000 shares of common stock of the Company in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in Stony Hill Ventures. The effect of the issuance was Stony Hill Ventures became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and represents the Company’s principal business.

The merger between the Company and Stony Hill Ventures was treated as a reverse acquisition for financial statement reporting purposes with Stony Hill Ventures deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company deemed the accounting acquiree. Accordingly, Stony Hill Ventures’ assets, liabilities and results of operations became the historical financial statements of the Company. No step-up in basis or intangible assets or goodwill was recorded in this transaction.

Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2018 the Company has incurred a net loss of $2,386,864 and used $673,467 of cash from operating activities during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and income from operations. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Company raised $795,000 through the sale of 497,500 aggregate shares of its common stock to accredited investors. As of March 31, 2018, cash on hand was $60,934 and management estimates that the current funds on hand will not be sufficient to continue operations without obtaining additional funds. As such, the Company is currently working on obtaining additional funds to operate its business through and beyond the date of this Form 10-K filing. However, there is no assurance that such funds will be available or at terms acceptable to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions and covenants on its operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders in the case of convertible debt and equity financing.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Stony Hill Ventures Corp., a Nevada corporation, Applied Products LLC, a Washington limited liability company, and SH Holdings LLC and SH Products LLC, both Nevada limited liability companies. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Management evaluates its investments on an individual basis for purposes of determining whether or not consolidation is appropriate.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Among other things, management estimates include the collectability of its accounts receivable, recoverability of inventory, assumptions made in determining impairment of investments and intangible assets, accruals for potential liabilities, and realization of deferred tax assets. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require judgments, involve analysis of historical information and the prediction of future trends, and are subject to change from period to period. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its investments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED

MARCH 31, 2018 AND 2017

Revenue Recognition

The Company receives revenue from two main sources - license fees and sale of products. For license fees, revenue arrangements provide for the payment of contractually determined monthly ongoing fees in consideration for the grant of right to use intellectual property of the Company, including trademark, trade dress, images, likenesses and other associated intellectual property. Revenue from product sales relate to shipments of cannabidiol (“CBD”) brand products. There is no right of returns other than for goods damaged during shipment.

For both license fees and sale of products, revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) all obligations have been substantially performed pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, (iii) amounts are fixed or determinable, and (iv) the collectibility of amounts is reasonably assured.

Shipping Cost

The Company recognizes amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction related to shipping as revenue. The costs incurred by the Company for shipping are classified as cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the fiscal periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $193,977 and $15,414, respectively, and were included in "General and Administrative expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally on a first-in-first-out average cost basis. Inventories consist of finished goods held for sale. Management regularly reviews inventory quantities on-hand and records an inventory provision for excess or obsolete inventory based on the future expected demand for our products. Inventory write-downs are measured as the difference between the cost of the inventory and market value, based upon assumptions about future demand that are inherently difficult to assess. There was no provision for inventory obsolescence necessary as of March 31, 2018 and 2017.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company uses an estimated useful life of three years for employee-related computers and software, three years for other office equipment and computer hardware, and five years for furniture. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease-term or the estimated useful life of the related asset.

Management regularly reviews property and equipment and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Based upon management’s annual assessment, there were no indicators of impairment of the Company’s property and equipment and other long-lived assets as of March 31, 2018.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of accounts. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts by considering the age of each outstanding invoice and the collection history of each customer to determine whether a specific allowance is appropriate. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $2,227 and nil, respectively.

APPLIED BIOSCIENCES CORP. (FORMERLY KNOWN AS STONY HILL CORP.)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted average number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per share due to the lack of dilutive items.

Investments

For investments that are not required to be consolidated, the Company uses either the equity method or the cost method of accounting. The Company uses the equity method for unconsolidated equity investments in which the Company is considered to have significant influence over the operations of the investee. The Company uses the cost method for all other investments. Under the cost method, there is no change to the cost basis unless there is an other-than-temporary decline in value or dividends are received. If the decline is determined to be other-than-temporary, the Company writes down the cost basis of the investment to a new cost basis that represents realizable value. Investments accounted for under the equity method or cost method of accounting above are included in the caption "Equity investments" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Intangible Asset

Intangible assets are recorded when such assets are acquired and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset. The Company regularly reviews intangible assets to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the useful lives have changed from the original estimate or that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses the recoverability of identified intangible assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets and occur in the period in which the impairment determination was made.

On February 23, 2017, the Company consummated an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with mCig, Inc. for the purchase of the VitaCBD brand name. In connection with the Agreement, the Company recorded intangible assets of $1,138,135. As of March 31, 2017, the Company did not believe there were any indicators of impairment of its intangible asset given the recent acquisition. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, sales of the VitaCBD products did not meet management’s expectations and the Company was not able to achieve the expected operating results. As a result, the Company impaired the intangible asset related to the acquisition of the VitaCBD brand name and recorded an impairment charge of $893,667, representing the net book value of intangibles at March 31, 2018, after current year amortization of $224,512.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued at the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. The Company has not adopted a stock option plan as of March 31, 2018.

The Company accounts for stock-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Stock-based payments to non-employees include grants of stock, grants of stock options and issuances of warrants that are recognized based on the value of the vested portion of the award over the requisite service period as measured at its then- current fair value as of each financial reporting date.

APPLIED BIOSCIENCES CORP. (FORMERLY KNOWN AS STONY HILL CORP.)

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances and tax loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.

Segments

The Company operates in one segment for the distribution of products. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in: economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying consolidated financial statements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The FASB has recently issued ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20, and ASU 2017-05, all of which clarify certain implementation guidance within ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The Company will adopt the provisions of this statement in the quarter beginning April 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. This update will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For operating leases, the asset and liability will be expensed over the lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income and the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified as a financing activity while the interest component will be included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, leases will be recognized and measured at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED

MARCH 31, 2018 AND 2017

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 primarily affects equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Among other things, this new guidance requires certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. This standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with certain provisions allowing for early adoption. The Company will adopt the provisions of this statement in the quarter beginning April 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements. 

NOTE 3 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

The Company recorded this investment at cost and will recognize dividends, if any, when received, and will recognize gains or loss upon either selling the securities or recognize a loss prior to selling the securities if there is evidence that the fair market value of the investment has declined to below the recorded historical cost.

As the Company does not participate in the management of these companies nor has the ability to exercise significant influence over these companies, the Company recorded these investments at cost and will recognize dividends, if any, when received, and will recognize gains or loss upon either selling the securities or recognize a loss prior to selling the securities if there is evidence that the fair market value of the investment has declined to below the recorded historical cost. As of March 31, 2018, costs of these investments approximates their fair value.

NOTE 5 – ACQUISITION OF INTANGIBLE ASSET

On February 23, 2017, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with mCig, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“mCig”) for a total purchase price of $1,144,000, consisting of the issuance of an aggregate of 350,000 shares of common stock valued at $994,000, and cash of $150,000. Of the 350,000 shares of common stock consideration, 150,000 shares with total fair value of $426,000 have not been issued as of March 31, 2018.

The Advisory Board shall be comprised of one or more directors (“Advisors”), and up to nine independent, non-Board, non-employee members, all of whom shall be appointed and subject to removal by the Board of Directors at any time.

During the current fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Board of Directors appointed three (3) independent Advisors, non-Board, and non- employees to the Advisory Board.

During the current fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 94,510 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Advisors. The aggregate fair value of the 94,510 shares granted to Advisors was $194,000 as of March 31, 2018, which is being recognized as expense ratably over their respective terms. Concurrently, the Company recorded an expense of $85,000, during the current fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, which was included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining balance of the total fair value of shares issued shares of $109,000 was recognized as prepaid expense in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2018 and will be amortized over their respective terms. Either party may terminate the Consulting Agreement at any time by providing a ten-day written notice prior of such termination.

Financial Advisory Services Agreement

On November 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Financial Advisory Consulting Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby the Company hired an advisor to provide certain financial advisory services. The term of the agreement is segmented into two segments with the first segment ended on January 31, 2018 with a term of 3 months and the second segment expiring on October 31, 2018 with a term of 9 months. Under the first segment and second segment, the Company is required to issue 40,000 and 22,222 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, respectively. Such shares are deemed to be earned and vested on November 1, 2018 and February 1, 2018, respectively. During the current fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the Company issued the 40,000 shares due under the first segment valued at $88,000. No shares were issued under the second segment; however, the Company estimated the fair value of the 22,222 shares under the segment to be approximately $44,000 based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at March 31, 2018, and recognized expense of $9,778 for the fiscal year then ended. As such, total expense under the Agreement was $97,778, which was reflected in the general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

In accordance with the Agreement, if the Company’s average closing price of its stock falls below $2.25 (“threshold price per share”) on a split adjusted basis within a period of 90 days before and including May 4, 2018 and August 1, 2018, respectively, the Company will be required to issue an adjusted number of shares based on a set formula defined in the Agreement.

Repurchase of Shares

Effective March 5, 2018, Stony Hill Corp. consummated certain transactions under an Intellectual Property Purchase and Stock Repurchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated February 9, 2018, by and among the Company, Damian Marley and Daniel Dalton. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Company repurchased 3,150,000 shares of common stock of the Company from Mr. Marley for $50,000 and rights to the name Stony Hill.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

The Company has no tax provision for any period presented due to its history of operating losses. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2.0 million that may be available to reduce future years' taxable income through 2038. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as management has determined that their realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets of approximately $580,000 was not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to tax loss carry-forward.

Components of deferred tax assets in the balance sheets are as follows:

Income Tax Provision in the Statements of Operations

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate and the effective income tax rate as a percentage of income before income tax provision is as follows:

The Company adopted accounting rules which address the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under these rules, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. These accounting rules also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of March 31, 2018, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be recorded.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease

On October 1, 2017, the Company entered into a two-year Commercial Lease Agreement (“Lease”) whereby the Company’s subsidiary, Vita Products LLC, leased 2,100 square feet of office space. The lease commenced on October 1, 2017 and requires the Company to pay $2,750 per month (“Base Rent”) or $33,000 per year for a total commitment of $66,000. Beginning at the end of the first year of the Lease and annually thereafter, the Base Rent shall be increased by the same percentage as any increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) as published by the U.S. Department of Labor for the most recent preceding 12 month period. In addition to the Base Rent, the Company is required to pay, on a pro rata basis, any common area expenses. The Lease required a security deposit of $5,500, which the Company paid in September 2017. At the end of the Lease the Company, at its sole discretion, has the right to extend the Lease term for one additional 12 month period at a rental rate commensurate with the then current market conditions for a similar space in the same area.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company may be involved in general commercial disputes arising in the ordinary course of our business. The Company is not currently involved in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of members of our management, including our President (who is our principal executive officer) and our Secretary (who is our principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Our President and our Secretary have concluded, based on their evaluation, that as of March 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the end of the fiscal year to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the President and Secretary, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process, including policies and procedures, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our management assessed our internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 version of the Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the results of this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2018 based on such criteria. Deficiencies existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (i) lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and (ii) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Management believes that the lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met under all potential conditions, regardless of how remote, and may not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

In connection with our continued monitoring and maintenance of our controls procedures as part of the implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we continue to review, test, and improve the effectiveness of our internal controls. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter and since the year ended March 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART III

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our executive officer’s and director’s and their respective age’s as of March 31, 2018 are as follows:

Chris Bridges, age 39

President and Member of the Board of Directors

Chris Bridges has served as our President since February 10, 2017, and as a director since March 9, 2017. Chris Bridges, age 38, has served as the Chief Executive Officer of Vessix Inx, a virtual payment systems business which provides payment services designed for the aviation industry, since January 2013. From January 2009 until September 2013, Mr. Bridges served as a director of Banctek Solutions, which provides merchant bankcard processing services to all types of merchants. From January 2005 until January 2008, Mr. Bridges was Executive Vice President - Acquisitions at PRS Assets, of Denver, Colorado.

John Brady, age 52

Secretary

John Brady has served as the Secretary of the Company since October 3, 2016, and as our Treasurer since January 5, 2018. Mr. Brady spent the first part of his career as a broker and owner of a boutique investment banking brokerage firm. For the past 12 years, he been an independent consultant, advising on strategic business planning. Mr. Brady attended Brooklyn College from 1983 to 1987.

TERM OF OFFICE

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will consist of no less than three members. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Our board of directors is currently composed of two members, neither of whom qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

No director, nominee for director, or executive officer of the Company has appeared as a party in any legal proceeding material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity during the past ten years.

SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS

As of March 31, 2018, the Company has no significant employees, other than its officers and directors acting in such capacity.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early business development stage company and has only two directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

There are no family relationships among our directors or officers. Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on our review of filings made on the SEC website, and the fact of us not receiving certain forms or written representations from certain reporting persons that they have complied with the relevant filing requirements, we believe that, during the year ended March 31, 2018, none of our executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our Board of Directors. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board of Directors or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. We believe that we are responsive to stockholder communications, and therefore have not considered it necessary to adopt a formal process for stockholder communications with our Board. During the upcoming year, our Board will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Company has not adopted a code of ethics because it has only commenced operations.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

We have no employment agreements with our officers, directors or any other person.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS

We have no employment agreements with our officers, directors or any other person.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS

No family relationships exist between our officers and directors or any person who is an affiliate of the Company.
