1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with both generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the interim financial information have read or have access to the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Organization and Nature of Operations

Legacy Card Company (“Legacy”) was formed as a Limited Liability Company on August 29, 2001. On April 18, 2005, Legacy converted from a California Limited Liability Company to a Nevada Corporation. On November 10, 2005, Legacy merged with Cardiff International, Inc. (“Cardiff”, the “Company”), a publicly held corporation. In the first quarter of 2013, it was decided to restructure Cardiff into a holding company that adopted a new business model known as "Collaborative Governance," a form of governance enabling businesses to take advantage of the power of a public company. Cardiff began targeting the acquisition of undervalued, niche companies with high growth potential, and income-producing commercial real estate properties, all designed to pay a dividend to the Company’s shareholders. The reason for this strategy was to protect the Company’s shareholders by acquiring businesses with little to no debt, seeking support with both financing and management that had the ability to offer a return to investors. The plan is to establish new classes of preferred stock to streamline voting rights, negate debt, and acquire new businesses. By December of 2013, the Company had negated more than 90% of all its debt; by June 30, 2017, the Company had completed the acquisition of six businesses: We Three, LLC; Romeo’s NY Pizza; Edge View Properties, Inc.; FDR Enterprises, Inc.; Refreshment Concepts, LLC; and Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC. In addition, there are two acquisitions: Titancare, LLC and York County In Home Care, Inc. pending as of the date of this report.

Description of Business

Cardiff is a holding company that adopted a new business model known as "Collaborative Governance.” To date, the Company is not aware of any other domestic holding company using the same business philosophy or governing policies.

To date, Cardiff consists of the following whole-owned subsidiaries:

We Three, LLC (Affordable Housing Initiative) acquired on May 15, 2014;

Romeo’s NY Pizza acquired on June 30, 2014;

Edge View Properties, Inc acquired on July 16, 2014;

FDR Enterprises, Inc. acquired on August 10, 2016;

Refreshment Concepts, LLC acquired on August 10, 2016;

Repicci’s Franchise Group, LLC acquired on August 10, 2016.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained operating losses since its inception and has negative working capital and an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had shareholders’ deficit of $1,550,746. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. As a result, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2016 consolidated financial statements, has raised 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 the appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusions. Management has prospective investors and believes the raising of capital will allow the Company to pursue new acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient capital from debt or equity transactions or from operations in the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to it. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient funds, it may be required to curtail its operating plans. In addition, increases in expenses may require cost reductions. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future. Should the Company not be able to raise sufficient funds, it may cause cessation of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued but Not Adopted as of September 30, 2017

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” on revenue recognition. This guidance provides that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The original effective date of this guidance was for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, early adoption is not permitted, and the guidance must be applied retrospectively or modified retrospectively. In July 2015, the FASB approved an optional one-year deferral of the effective date. As a result, we expect to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2018. We have not yet determined our approach to adoption or the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, if any.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which modifies the accounting for leasing arrangements, particularly those arrangements classified as operating leases. This update will require entities to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all leasing arrangements. We are currently assessing the effects this guidance may have on our financial statements.

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The balance of Note 1, net of debt discount, was $50,000 and $50,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Note 1 is currently in default.

On November 17, 2011, the Company entered into a Promissory Note agreement (“Note 2”) with a related party for $50,000. Note 2 bears interest at 8% per year and matures on November 17, 2016.

The following is a schedule showing the future minimum loan payments in the future 5 years.

8. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

Some of the Convertible Notes issued as described below included an anti-dilution provision that allowed for the adjustment of the conversion price. The Company considered the guidance provided by the FASB in “Determining Whether an Instrument Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock,” the result of which indicates that the instrument is not indexed to the issuer’s own stock. Accordingly, the Company determined that, as the conversion price of the Notes issued in connection therewith could fluctuate based future events, such prices were not fixed amounts. As a result, the Company determined that the conversion features of the Notes issued in connection therewith are not considered indexed to the Company’s stock and characterized the value of the conversion feature of such notes as derivative liabilities upon issuance.

Convertible notes at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are summarized as follows:

Convertible Notes Payable – Unrelated Party

On April 17, 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured Convertible Note (“Note 4”) in the amount of $9,000. Note 4 was convertible into Common Shares of the Company at $0.005 per share at the option of the holder. Note 4 bore interest at eight percent per year, matured on June 17, 2014, and was unsecured. All principal and unpaid accrued interest was due at maturity. The Company is currently in default on Note 4. On August 17, 2015, a portion of principal of $1,500 was converted into 300,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company upon the request of the holder. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the note holder converted $3,715 principal and $1,310 accrued interest payable into 1,005,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.005 per share. And $3,000 of principal is forgiven by the note holder. In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse the holder’s certificate processing cost by adding $1,000 to the principal for each note conversion pursuant to an addendum, dated February 3, 2016. During the first quarter of 2017, the note holder converted $2,785 principal, $1,000 processing cost reimbursement and $102 accrued interest into 777,400 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.005 per share. The balance of Note 4 was $2,785 as of December 31, 2016, which was paid in full as of September 30, 2017.

On July 29, 2015, the Company entered into an 8% convertible promissory note (“Note 6”) with an unrelated entity in the amount of $10,000. Note 6 bore interest at eight percent per year, matured on November 26, 2015, and was unsecured. Note 6 was convertible into Common Shares of the Company at the conversion ratio of 50% discount to market at the conversion date. However, if the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Shares falls below $0.10 per share, the conversion price will be changed to $0.01 per share and remain intact from that point forward. Since the Company’s common stock was $0.075 per share at December 31, 2015, the conversion feature contained in Note 6 no longer meets the requirements for liability classification under ASC 815. As a result, the embedded derivative liability of $10,008 at December 31, 2015 was reclassified as additional paid-in capital.

The table below sets forth the assumptions for Black-Scholes valuation model on July 29, 2015 (inception) and December 31, 2015, respectively. For the period ended December 31, 2015, the Company had initial loss of $8,041 due to derivative liabilities, and decreased the derivative liability of $18,041 by $8,033, resulting in a derivative liability of $10,008 at December 31, 2015. The derivative liabilities is reclassified as additional paid in capital due to the conversion price become fixed price as of January 1, 2016.

Note 6 and accrued interest totaled $11,666 was paid in full by cash on May 1, 2017. Resulting from the tainted issue by the derivative financial instrument of the convertible notes, the Company determined that the conversion features contained in Note 6 carrying value represents a freestanding derivative instrument that meets the requirements for liability classification under ASC 815. As a result, the fair value of the derivative financial instrument in the note is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as a liability, which will be reclassified into additional paid in capital upon conversion. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument of the convertible note was measured using the Binomial-Lattice valuation model with assumptions set forth in the table below and the fair value of $95,001 was credited to additional paid in capital on the conversion date.

On February 9, 2016, the Company entered into a 15% convertible line of credit (“Note 7”) with an unrelated entity in the amount up to $50,000. On February 9, 2016, the Company received $17,500 cash for the line of credit, matured on February 9, 2017, and unsecured. Note 7 is convertible into common shares of the Company at the conversion ratio of $0.03 or 50% discount of the lowest closing price on the primary trading market on which Company's common stock is quoted for the last five trading days prior to the conversion date, whichever is lower. The Company determined that the conversion features contained in Note 7 carrying value represents a freestanding derivative instrument that meets the requirements for liability classification under ASC 815. As a result, the fair value of the derivative financial instrument in the note is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as a liability. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument of the convertible note was measured using the Binomial-Lattice valuation model at the inception date of the note and will do so again on each subsequent balance sheet date. Any changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. The derivative liabilities will be reclassified into additional paid in capital upon conversion.

The table below sets forth the assumptions for Binomial-Lattice valuation model on December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

Note 7 is currently in default and principal of $6,000 was converted into 200,000 shares of common stock at the end of 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded interest expense, late fee and default interest related to Note 7 in total amount of $2,029 and amortization of debt discounts in amount of $3,500.

On March 8, 2016, the Company entered into a 15% convertible promissory note in the principal of $50,000 (“Note 8”) with an unrelated entity for services rendered. Note 8 is matured on March 8, 2017, and unsecured. This Note is convertible into common shares of the Company at the conversion ratio of $0.03 or 50% discount of the lowest closing price on the primary trading market on which Company's common stock is quoted for the last five trading days prior to the conversion date, whichever is lower. The Company determined that the conversion features contained in Note 8 carrying value represents a freestanding derivative instrument that meets the requirements for liability classification under ASC 815. As a result, the fair value of the derivative financial instrument in the note is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as a liability. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument of the convertible note was measured using the Binomial-Lattice valuation model at the inception date of the note and will do so again on each subsequent balance sheet date. Any changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. The derivative liabilities will be reclassified into additional paid in capital upon conversion.

Convertible Notes Payable – Related Party

On April 21, 2008, the Company entered into an unsecured Convertible Debenture (“Debenture 1”) with a shareholder in the amount of $150,000. Debenture 1 was convertible into Common Shares of the Company at $0.03 per share at the option of the holder no earlier than August 21, 2008. Debenture 1 bore interest at 12% per year, matured in August 2009, and was unsecured. All principal and unpaid accrued interest was due at maturity. In conjunction with the Debenture 1, the Company also issued warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.03 per share. The warrants expired on April 20, 2013. As a result of issued warrants, the Company recorded a $150,000 debt discount during 2008 which has been fully amortized. The Company was in default on Debenture 1, and no warrants had been exercised before expiration. The balance of Debenture 1 was $150,000 and $150,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense related to Debenture 1 in amount of $13,500 and $13,500 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

On March 11, 2009, the Company entered into an unsecured Convertible Debenture (“Debenture 2”) with a shareholder in the amount of $15,000. Debenture 2 was convertible into Common Shares of the Company at $0.03 per share at the option of the holder. Debenture 2 bore interest at 12% per year, matured on March 11, 2014, and was unsecured. All principal and unpaid accrued interest was due at maturity. The Company was in default on Debenture 2. The balance of Debenture 2 was $15,000 and $15,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense related to Debenture 2 in amount of $1,350 and $1,350 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Resulting from the tainted issue by the derivative financial instrument of the convertible notes, The Company determined that the conversion features contained in Debenture 1 and Debenture 2 carrying value represents an embedded derivative instrument that meets the requirements for liability classification under ASC 815. As a result, the fair value of the derivative financial instrument in the note is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as a liability. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument of the convertible note was measured using the Binomial-Lattice valuation model at the inception date of the note and will do so again on each subsequent balance sheet date. Any changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. The derivative liabilities will be reclassified into additional paid in capital upon conversion.

The table below sets forth the assumptions for Binomial-Lattice valuation model on December 31, 2016, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

The following is a schedule showing the future minimum loan payments in the future 5 years.

9. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s derivative liabilities are embedded derivatives associated with the Company’s convertible notes payable (see Note 8). Due to the Notes’ conversion feature, the actual number of shares of common stock that would be required if a conversion of the note as described in Note 8 was made through the issuance of the Company’s common stock cannot be predicted. As a result, the conversion feature requires derivative accounting treatment and will be bifurcated from the note and “marked to market” each reporting period through the statement of operations.

The Company used the Binomial-Lattice valuation model to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities as $842,831 on September 30, 2017, and will subsequently remeasure the fair value at the end of each period, and record the change of fair value in the consolidated statement of operation during the corresponding period.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

All items required to be recorded or measured on a recurring basis are based upon level 3 inputs.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the financial statements.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any items that would be classified as level 1 or 2 disclosures.

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed in note 8. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed in Note 8 are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.

The derivative liability as of September 30, 2017, in the amount of $842,831 has a level 3 classification.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price are a primary driver for the changes in the derivative valuations during each reporting period. During the period ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s stock price decreased from initial valuation. As the stock price decreases for each of the related derivative instruments, the value to the holder of the instrument generally decreases. Stock price is one of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of each of the Company’s derivative instruments.

The Company used the Binomial-Lattice valuation model to measure the fair value of the derivative liabilities as $842,831 on September 30, 2017, and will subsequently remeasure the fair value at the end of each period, and record the change of fair value in the consolidated statement of operation during the corresponding period. The Company recorded a gain in change of derivative liability of $135,166 and $154,963 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

11. PAYROLL TAXES

The Company previously reported that it has failed to remit payroll tax payments since 2006, as required by various taxing authorities. Payroll taxes and estimated penalties were accrued in recognition of accrued salaries subsequently settled via stock issue and other agreements that did not result in reportable or taxable payroll transactions. These accruals were reversed for prior years, and a similar estimated accrual established for 2016 and 2015. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company estimated the amount of taxes, interest, and penalties that the Company could incur as a result of payroll related taxes and penalties to be $42,923 and $41,783, respectively.

12. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years. There were no dilutive earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 due to net loss during the periods.  

The following table sets forth the computation of basic net loss per share for the periods indicated:

This does not include the potential dilutive effect if all exercisable warrants were exercised or conversions of convertible notes and convertible preferred stock as described below:

13. CAPITAL STOCK

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company filed Amended Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Florida to amend the rights and privileges for series of Preferred Stock, and to authorize the issuance of Series I, F1, G1, H1, J1 and K1 Preferred Stock, which was effective on April 26, 2017.

Series A Preferred Stock

The Company has designated four shares of preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A”), with a par value of $.0001 per share, of which one share of preferred stock was issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2017. Series A is authorized to have four shares which do not bear dividends and converts to common shares at four times the sum of: all shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at time of conversion plus all shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at time of conversion divided by the number of issued Class A shares at the time of conversion, and have voting rights four times the sum of: all shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at time of voting plus all shares of Series B Preferred Stocks issued and outstanding at time of voting divided by the number of Class A shares issued at the time of voting.

Series B Preferred Stock

The Company has designated 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B”), with a par value $0.001 and $2.50 price per share, of which 2,804,205 shares of Series B preferred stock were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2017. Shares of Series B are anti-dilutive to reverse splits. The conversion rate of shares of Series B, however, would increase proportionately in the case of forward splits, and may not be diluted by a reverse split following a forward split. Series B is awarded “Voting Right” at the ratio of 1 vote per share owned. Each one share of Series B converts to 5 shares of Common Stock. The price of each share of Series B may be changed either through a majority vote of the Board of Directors through a resolution at a meeting of the Board of Directors, or through a resolution passed at an Action Without Meeting of the unanimous Board of Directors, until such time as a listed secondary and/or listed public market develops for the shares.

During the first quarter of 2017, 1,406,829 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted into 7,034,145 shares of Common Stock of the Company per the preferred shareholder’s instruction.

On March 30, 2017, the Company issued 24,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to settle legal expenses of $60,000. Based on the price of $.9075 per share for the Series B Preferred Stock, which was determined by the market price of common stock at $.1815 per share on the issuance date multiplied by the conversion ratio of 1:5, the fair value of the stock issuance of Series B Preferred Stock was $21,780, resulting in gain from extinguishment of debt in amount of $38,220.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this document before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.

The occurrence of any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating result. In this case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.

As of this filing, though still not profitable, Cardiff is generating revenue which helps mitigate the risk. Currently we have a small amount of consolidated stockholders’ equity. As a result, though pleased with our current results, we may never become profitable, and could go out of business.

Through inception until December 2014, we have restructured ourselves into a holding company and have acquired several additional businesses; We Three, Inc. d/b/a Affordable Housing Initiative, Romeo’s NY Pizza, Edge View Properties, FDR Enterprises, Inc. Repicci’s Franchise Group, and Refreshment Concepts.

Future sales will no longer depend on missiontuition.com, but will be derived from our new acquisitions. We cannot guarantee we will ever develop substantial revenue from our subsidiary companies and there is no assurance that we will achieve profitability.

Because we had incurred operating losses from our inception, we still consider ourselves a going concern.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our accountants have expressed concern about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our continued net losses and need for additional capital. However, we believe our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:

Based upon current plans, we may incur operating losses in future periods. Also, we expect approximately $600,000 in operating costs to be incurred over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or obtaining other financing in the future to cover these operating costs. Additionally, financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company. Failure to generate sufficient revenues may cause us to go out of business.

Since we are an early stage company that has generated minimal revenue, an investment in our shares is highly risky and could result in a complete loss of your investment if we are unsuccessful in our business plans.

We were incorporated in August 2001 and have focused all of our efforts on the development of our product and we have generated minimal amounts revenue. Further, there is no guarantee that we will be successful in realizing revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of our business or force us to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of our equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares you hold, and could result in the loss of your entire investment.

Future acquisitions are important to our success. We may not be able to successfully integrate our acquisitions into our operations

The acquisition of new companies is central to our business model and critically important to our success. Although we generally seek companies that have positive cash flows, we cannot be certain that the company’s acquired will remain cash flow positive and could possibly lose revenues. In addition, there are no assurances that the acquisitions acquired will continue as profitable businesses and could adversely affect our business and any possible revenues.

Successful implementation of our business strategy depends on factors specific to acquiring successful businesses. Adverse changes in our acquisition process could undermine our business strategy and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and cash flow:

There are no substantial barriers to acquire established businesses and because we can acquire businesses in all types of industries, there is no guarantee the Company will acquire additional businesses, which could severely limit our proposed sales and revenues. If we cannot acquire established businesses, it could result in the loss of your investment.

Since we have no copyright protection, unauthorized persons may attempt to copy aspects of our business, including our governance design or functionality, services or marketing materials. Any encroachment upon our corporate information, including the unauthorized use of our brand name, the use of a similar name by a competing company or a lawsuit initiated against us for infringement upon another company's proprietary information or improper use of their copyright, may affect our ability to create brand name recognition, cause customer confusion and/or have a detrimental effect on our business. Litigation or proceedings before the U.S. or International Patent and Trademark Offices may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and domain name and/or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any such infringement, litigation or adverse proceeding could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could seriously harm our business operations and/or results of operations. As a result, an investor could lose his or her entire investment.

The loss of the services of the current officers and directors could severely impact our business operations and future development, which could result in a loss of revenues and one’s ability to ever sell any shares.

Our performance is substantially dependent upon the professional expertise of the current officers and board of directors. Each has extensive expertise in business development and acquisitions and we are dependent on their abilities. If they are unable to perform their duties, this could have an adverse effect on business operations, financial condition and operating results if we are unable to replace them with other individuals qualified to develop and market our business. The loss of their services could result in a loss of revenues, which could result in a reduction of the value of any shares you hold as well as the complete loss of your investment.

Our stock has limited liquidity.

Our common stock trades on the OTCQB market. Trading volume in our shares may be sporadic and the price could experience volatility. If adverse market conditions exist, you may have difficulty selling your shares.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the following:

In general, buying low-priced penny stocks is very risky and speculative. Our shares are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. You may not able to sell your shares when you want to do so, if at all.

Our shares are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to such sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase in the public markets.

Because of our size and limited resources, we may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls, which we are required to do in order to comply with U.S. GAAP and securities laws, and which could cause a materially adverse impact on our financial statements, the trading of our common stock and our business.

We are a small holding company that lacks the financial resources and qualified personnel to implement and sustain adequate internal controls As a result, we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books of account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet proper internal control standards. Therefore, we may, in turn, experience difficulties in implementing and maintaining adequate internal controls as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This may result in significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls which could impact the reliability of our financial statements and prevent us from complying with SEC rules and regulations and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any such deficiencies, material weaknesses or lack of compliance could result in restatements of our historical financial information, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, have an adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock, adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets and our ability to recruit personnel, lead to the delisting of our securities from the stock exchange on which they are traded, lead to litigation claims, thereby diverting management’s attention and resources, and which may lead to the payment of damages to the extent such claims are not resolved in our favor, lead to regulatory proceedings, which may result in sanctions, monetary or otherwise, and have a materially adverse effect on our reputation and business.

We do not expect to pay dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future.

We have not paid any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and it is unlikely that we will pay any dividends on our common stock for the year. Earnings, if any, that we may realize will be retained in the business for further development and expansion.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that may not be readily apparent from other sources. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the appropriateness of our estimates and we maintain a thorough process to review the application of our accounting policies. Our actual results may differ from these estimates.

We consider our critical accounting estimates to be those that (1) involve significant judgments and uncertainties, (2) require estimates that are more difficult for management to determine, and (3) may produce materially different results when using different assumptions. We have discussed these critical accounting estimates, the basis for their underlying assumptions and estimates and the nature of our related disclosures herein with the audit committee of our Board of Directors. We believe our accounting policies specific to share-based compensation expense and estimation of the fair value of derivative liability involve our most significant judgments and estimates that are material to our consolidated financial statements. They are discussed further below.

Derivative Liability

Under Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”), U.S. GAAP, Accounting Standards Codification, “Derivatives and Hedging”, ASC Topic 815 (“ASC 815”) requires that all derivative financial instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Fair values for exchange traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. Where market prices are not readily available, fair values are determined using market based pricing models incorporating readily observable market data and requiring judgment and estimates. 

The Company’s convertible notes have been evaluated with respect to the terms and conditions of the conversion features contained in the notes to determine whether they represent embedded or freestanding derivative instruments under the provisions of ASC 815. When the Company determined that the conversion features contained in the notes’ carrying value represents a freestanding derivative instrument that meets the requirements for liability classification under ASC 815, the fair value of the derivative financial instrument in the note is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as a liability. The fair value of the derivative financial instrument of the convertible note was measured using Binomial-Lattice valuation model at the inception date of the note and will do so again on each subsequent balance sheet date. Any changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each balance sheet date. The derivative liabilities will be reclassified into additional paid in capital upon conversion.

Share-based compensation expense

We account for the issuance of stock, stock options and warrants for services from employees and non-employees based on an estimate of the fair value of options and warrants issued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. This model’s calculations include the exercise price, the market price of shares on grant date, weighted average assumptions for risk-free interest rates, expected life of the option or warrant, expected volatility of our stock and expected dividend yield.

The amounts recorded in the financial statements for share-based expense could vary significantly if we were to use different assumptions. For example, the assumptions we have made for the expected volatility of our stock price have been based on the historical volatility of our stock, measured over a period generally commensurate with the expected term. If we were to use a different volatility than the actual volatility of our stock price, there may be a significant variance in the amounts of share-based compensation expense from the amounts reported.

Results of Operations

We had revenues of $413,875 and $1,419,006 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to revenues of $378,508 and $861,087 for the same periods in 2016, an increase of 9% and 65%, respectively. Since we had various acquisitions over the past two years, the increase in revenues is primarily attributable to full revenue quarter cycles for those acquisitions. A revenue breakdown by segment is as follows:

The decrease in revenues from sales of pizza during this reporting period were attributable to the decrease in number of stores. We currently have one pizza store open in 2017. The impact from such decrease was offset by the revenues from Repicci’s Group, which was acquired on August 10, 2016. The results of the operations for Repicci’s Group have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the dates of the acquisitions. We also had a decline in hardware revenues from our “Others” category. These sales are cyclical.

We had costs of sales of $457,394 and $1,309,398 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to costs of sales of $281,421 and $565,548 for the same periods Septmber 30, 2016. The costs of sales for the periods related to each segment are as follows: The increase in cost of sales was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Repicci’s Group. The results of the operations for Repicci’s Group have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the dates of the acquisitions.

We had operating expenses of $1,274,505 and $2,506,556 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to operating expenses of $661,219 and $1,284,846 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in operating expenses during the period was primarily due to our increased level of operations due to our acquisitions and also due to an increase in professional fees associated with auditing our acquisitions. Additionally, stock based compensation increased to $398,939 and we had a loss due to impairment of goodwill of $932,529, for the nine month period compared to $234,667 for the same period in 2016.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation will negatively impact our business plans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, the principal sources of cash have been funds raised from the sale of common stock, advances from shareholders, and loans in the form of debentures and convertible notes. At September 30, 2017, we had $87,708 in cash and cash equivalents and total assets amounted to $1,528,111. At December 31, 2016 we had $62,948 of cash and cash equivalents, and total assets amounted to $2,472,009.

Net cash used in operating activities was $440,770 and $73,333 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The negative cash flows from operating activities during the periods were primarily attributable to the net losses of $2,665,651 and $1,033,286, respectively. These amounts were partially offset by non-cash expenses related to depreciation, amortization of debt discount and stock based compensation which were $127,637, $300,333 and $398,939 additionally, we had a loss due to impairment of goodwill of $932,529, respectively. We also had increases in accounts payable and offset by reduction of accrued officers’ and employee salaries by issuing stock of $29,539 and $(1,415,600), respectively. In the 2016 period, the negative cash flows from operating activities was attributable to the net loss of $1,033,286, partially offset by non-cash expenses of $132,000 in lieu of convertible promissory note and the stock based compensation of $234,667, and the increase in accrued expenses by $293,968.

Net cash used in investing activities was $14,468 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to Net cash provided by investing activities was $11,635 for the same period in 2016. Cash flows used in investing activities for the 2017 period was solely due to purchase of fixed assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we purchased $5,000 in intangible assets and $9,468 in fixed assets. We had cash of $31,637 from disposal of fixed assets and we purchased fixed assets of $20,002, during the same period in 2016. , which was related to our mobile home leasing business.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $479,998 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were primarily attributable to proceeds of convertible notes payable in the amounts of $465,000 and proceeds of $40,000 from sales of stock. For 2016 this was attributable to proceeds of $74,000 from sales of stock and proceeds of $17,500 from convertible notes payable. Additionally, we had cash of $14,867 due to related party in this reporting period in 2016.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital from debt or equity transactions or from operations in the necessary time frame or on terms acceptable to us. Should we be unable to raise sufficient funds, we may be required to curtail our operating plans and possibly relinquish rights to portions of our technology or products. In addition, increases in expenses or delays in product development may adversely impact our cash position and may require cost reductions. No assurance can be given that we will be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in the future.

In order to continue our operations, development of our products, and implementation of our business plan, we need additional financing. We are currently attempting to obtain additional working capital in an equity transaction.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2017, we had no off balance sheet arrangements.
