Summary of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization and Business

 

US Highland, Inc. was originally formed as a limited liability company on February 5, 1999 under the name The Powerhouse, L.L.C. pursuant to the laws of the State of Oklahoma. On November 9, 2006, Powerhouse Productions, L.L.C. filed Articles of Conversion changing the entity from a limited liability company to a corporation under the name Harcom Productions, Inc. On January 25, 2010, Articles of Merger were filed with the State of Oklahoma merging U.S. Highland, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation into Harcom Productions, Inc. and the name of the corporation was changed to US Highland, Inc. US Highland, Inc. (the "Company") is a recreational power sports Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM"), developing motorcycles, quads, single cylinder engines, and v-twin engines under its own brand and for other OEMs.

 

On September 23, 2015, the Company incorporated two wholly-owned subsidiaries, USH Distribution Corp., a Nevada corporation, and Powersports Brand Alliance, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The subsidiaries were formed to provide sales, marketing and distribution services of their power sport products and accessories.

 

On September 25, 2015, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with M&M Sourcing Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian entity ("M&M") and jointly formed Lahva, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Lahva"). The Company's and M&M's equity stake in Lahva is 40% and 60%, respectively.  

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, US Highlands Electric Inc., USH Distribution Corp., and Powersports Brand Alliance, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise indicated) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

 

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such principles and the financial results for the periods presented may not be indicative of the full year's results. The Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2016 (the "2015 Annual Report").

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

 

The investment in, and the operating results of, 50%-or-less-owned entities not required to be consolidated are included in the consolidated financial statements on the basis of the equity method of accounting. The Company's only investment qualifying for the equity method of accounting is the Company's investment in Lahva.

 

The Company reviews investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investments may not be fully recoverable. Evidence of a loss in value that is other than temporary includes, but is not limited to, the absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment, the inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity which would justify the carrying amount of the investment, or, where applicable, estimated sales proceeds which are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the investment. If the fair value of the investment is determined to be less than the carrying value and the decline in value is considered to be other than temporary, an appropriate write-down is recorded based on the excess of the carrying value over the best estimate of fair value of the investment.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the 2015 Annual Report other than as noted below.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company adopted guidance codified in ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The guidance simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected. Therefore, these costs will continue to be amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method pursuant to ASC 835-30-35-2 through 35-3. The Company has applied this guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the Company's financial statements. The reclassification did not impact previously reported net income (loss) or any prior amounts reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Operations or the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

  

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going-concern basis. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, and as of June 30, 2016, current liabilities exceed current assets by $2,351,566, and the Company has an accumulated deficit of $72,085,886. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain adequate funding to support its operations through continuing investments of debt and/or equity by qualified investors/creditors, internally generated working capital and monetization of intellectual property assets. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management is currently pursuing a business strategy which includes raising the necessary funds to finance the Company's development, marketing and manufacturing efforts.

2.Deposit on Highlon Distribution Inc. Acquisition

 

On December 30, 2014, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Highlon Distribution, Inc. (Highlon). Per the agreement, the Company will exchange 100 shares of the Company's common stock for 100% of the Highlon shares. In addition, the Company will transfer $150,000 to Highlon within five days from the execution of the agreement. Highlon is a distribution management business focusing on marketing existing product in logistics area. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company wrote-off the deposit of $150,000 pursuant to a subsequent settlement agreement with Highlon and the former President of the Company. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company also agreed to pay the former President of the Company an additional $20,185, offset by advances from Highlon of $26,000 and accounts payable to the former President of the Company of $5,885, resulting in a loss on settlement of debt of $118,115. Refer to Note 11(g).

 

3.Investment in Joint Venture

 

On September 25, 2015, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement and formed Lahva, Inc. The Company's 40% ownership interest in the joint venture was recorded at cost and the Company's proportionate share of net loss under the equity method of accounting is recorded within results of continuing operations.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company received the following notes from Lahva, Inc.:

 

 

a)

On February 26, 2016, the Company entered into a promissory note with Lahva, Inc. for $70,000. The note receivable bears interest at 8% per annum and is due on February 26, 2017.

6.Convertible Debentures

 

 

a)

Effective January 25, 2010, the Company issued a convertible note for $225,000. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the loan was unsecured, non-interest bearing, and was due on December 21, 2010. The note was convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at any time at a variable conversion price equal to 65% of the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock during the 28 trading days prior to the date of the conversion notice and was subject to adjustment upon the issuance of certain dilutive instruments. Due to these provisions, the embedded conversion option qualified for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the derivative liability of $538,249 resulted in a full discount to the note payable of $225,000 and the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $313,249.

 

 

 

 

 

On June 2, 2010, the Company issued 6,386 restricted shares of common stock upon the conversion of the principal amount of $166,667. The fair value of the derivative liability at June 2, 2010, was $266,425 and $197,352 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital upon conversion. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company repaid $2,000 of the note, during the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company repaid an additional $3,000, and during the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company repaid $1,000. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying value of the note was $52,333 and $52,333, respectively. The note is in default at June 30, 2016.

b)On July 25, 2013, the Company issued a convertible note for up to $500,000 and warrants to purchase 12,500,000 underlying shares of the Company's common stock. The warrants are exercisable into 10,000,000 common shares of the Company at $0.05 per share and 2,500,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share until July 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received proceeds of $500,000 under the note. The note bears interest at 8% per annum compounded monthly, and principal and interest are due on July 31, 2014. In addition, so long as any amounts are due hereunder, the Company is obligated to remit to the lender 100% of all revenues, payments and receivables from the sale of the first 50 engines sold by the Company. The note is secured against substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 

 

 

 

 

The note may be prepaid by the Company without penalty with 30 days prior notice. The note is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at any time at a conversion price equal to $0.02 per share and is subject to adjustment upon the issuance of certain dilutive instruments and other events. The conversion price was subsequently reduced to $0.01 per share upon the failure to file various reports with the SEC within 120 days of the issuance of the note.

 

Due to the potential adjustments to the conversion feature and the inability to conclude that the Company has enough unissued-authorized common shares to settle the warrants, the embedded conversion option and the warrants qualify for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. The initial fair value of the conversion feature of $6,714,279 and warrants of $3,169,531 resulted in a discount to the note payable of $500,000 and the recognition of a loss on derivatives of $9,383,810.

 

On July 24, 2014, the Company and the note holder agreed to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2014, and increase the interest rate to 12% starting on August 1, 2014. The Company accounted for the modification in accordance with ASC 405-20 and ASC 470-50-40. As the present value of the future cash flows was more than 10% different than the cash flows of the original debt, it was determined that the original and new debt instruments are substantially different and the Company treated the original convertible note extinguished and exchanged for a new convertible note. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $474,668. The Company also recognized the fair value of the embedded conversion feature of $24,501,757 as a derivative liability and reduced the value of the convertible loan to $nil.

 

On December 31, 2014, the Company and the note holder agreed to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2015. Interest shall accrue at 12% per annum but may be reduced to 8% for any period of time in which the interest is paid in cash and not accrued. The Company accounted for the modification in accordance with ASC 405-20 and ASC 470-50-40. As the present value of the future cash flows was more than 10% different than the cash flows of the original debt, it was determined that the original and new debt instruments are substantially different and the Company treated the original convertible note extinguished and exchanged for a new convertible note. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $411,820. The Company also recognized the fair value of the embedded conversion feature of $25,088,180 as a derivative liability and reduced the value of the convertible loan to $nil.

 

On December 31, 2015, the Company and the note holder agreed to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2016. Interest shall accrue at 12% per annum but may be reduced to 8% for any period of time in which the interest is paid in cash and not accrued. The Company accounted for the modification in accordance with ASC 405-20 and ASC 470-50-40. As the present value of the future cash flows was more than 10% different than the cash flows of the original debt, it was determined that the original and new debt instruments are substantially different and the Company treated the original convertible note extinguished and exchanged for a new convertible note. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $492,585. The Company also recognized the fair value of the embedded conversion feature of $16,507,415 as a derivative liability and reduced the value of the convertible loan to $nil.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded total accretion of $69,954. At June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, the carrying value of the note was $69,954 and $nil with unamortized discount of $430,046 and $500,000, respectively.

c)On February 11, 2016, the Company entered into two convertible promissory notes for a total of $275,000, pursuant to which the Company received proceeds of $237,500, net of an original issue discount of $25,000 and legal fees of $12,500. The notes are convertible at a price equal to 60% of the lowest trading price of the Company's common stock for the 20 prior trading days, bearing interest at 8% per annum and due on February 11, 2017. Due to these provisions, the embedded conversion options qualified for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging.

7.Derivative Liabilities

 

The embedded conversion options of the Company's convertible debentures described in Note 6 contain conversion features that qualify for embedded derivative classification. The warrants described in Notes 6 and 9 also qualify for derivative classification. The fair value of these liabilities will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in the statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities and embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on various assumptions. The model incorporates the price of a share of the Company's common stock (as quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board), volatility, risk free rate, dividend rate and estimated life. Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations:

We estimated that we will require $1,013,500 over the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. The Company has $500,000 of convertible notes outstanding for which principal and interest was originally due on July 31, 2014. The convertible notes were extended and are now due on December 31, 2016. These notes are further described in Note 6 of the unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. Management believes that our cash balance will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve-month period. We plan to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirement for the next twelve months primarily through equity and or debt financings. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued working capital requirements.

 

To date, we have funded our capital needs by the sale of the following promissory notes. See also Note 6 to the unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:

n

On March 1, 2016, the Company entered into that certain agreement (the "Agreement") with Mr. John D. Gibbs ("Gibbs" or the "Lender"), relating to that certain convertible promissory note, as amended, issued by the Company to Gibbs on July 23, 2013 for the principal amount of $500,000 and secured by all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company pursuant to that certain Security Agreement, dated July 23, 2013, between the Company and the Lender (the "Note").

 

 

 

 

 

The Note, as amended, matures on December 31, 2016. From July 23, 2013, the issue date of the Note, until July 31, 2014, the original maturity date, the principal amount of the Note bore interest at a rate of 8%, compounded monthly, per annum. On December 31, 2015, the parties agreed that, effective as of August 31, 2014, the interest rate was increased to 12% per annum; provided, however, that it may be reduced to 8% for any period of time in which interest is paid in cash and not accrued.

 

 

 

 

n

On May 17, 2016, the Company issued a convertible promissory note for $55,000, pursuant to which the Company received proceeds of $48,000, net of an original issue discount of $5,000 and legal fees of $2,000.

Going Concern

 

The Company has no revenues and has incurred net losses. In addition, at June 30, 2016, there was an accumulated deficit of $72,085,886. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or available from external sources such as debt or equity financings, or other potential sources. The inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources will force the Company to substantially curtail and cease operations, therefore, having a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any funds, if available, will possess attractive terms or not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders.

Management's Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ''Exchange Act''). 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 and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2016 in ensuring that material information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
